What do you eat in off-year customs

There is an old saying among the people: "When the Lunar New Year comes, you can eat three stoves." The 23rd of the twelfth lunar month is the Lunar New Year. The off-year days in the north and south are different, but the same is busy with the New Year, worshipping the kitchen god, cleaning up the house, killing pigs and sheep, and going to the market to buy new year's goods. Today is March 9 of off-year. It's cold, but warm. So the food eaten this day is mostly related to the kitchen god. Below, I carefully sorted out the food I ate in the five off-year customs. Let's have a look.

I. jiaozi

Northerners are used to eating jiaozi on Lunar New Year's eve. As the saying goes, "seeing jiaozi in the wind" means seeing the Kitchen God with jiaozi. Jiaozi should also be placed on the altar in front of the fire. In addition, when you package jiaozi, you can't say "the package is finished", but you should say "the package is full", which means all the best for the next year's Man Cang.

Second, fire.

Fire is a very common kind of pasta in northern China. Eating fire is a standard for young people. A family that cooks and makes a fire means that there is a good harvest of food at home. In addition, fire also symbolizes the beautiful meaning of prosperous times.

Fire is a famous traditional food, which is mainly popular in northern China. Its producing areas are mainly Shanxi, Shandong, Beijing, Hebei, Henan and so on. The main ingredients are flour, fresh meat, pepper and leek, with golden color, crisp skin, soft inside and tough outside, salty and delicious.

Third, sugar cakes

Sugar cake is a must-have food for northerners in the New Year, and it is also a must-eat food for the New Year. One is sacrifice, and the other is to improve children's food. Sugar cake is made of instant noodles, so it tastes waxy and then wrapped in white sugar. Sweet and delicious, sweet in the mouth, meaning the sweetness of life in the new year!

Fourth, the soup for offering sacrifices to the stove.

The custom of offering sacrifices to the kitchen god in eastern Henan Plain is to drink the soup offering sacrifices to the kitchen god. This is a very simple "vegetarian soup" with tofu, which is generally simple and light, in order to let the kitchen god see that the family is simple and not extravagant, so that the kitchen god can be blessed!

Soup for offering sacrifices to stoves is one of the traditional customs in China. In the countryside of eastern Henan plain, the New Year begins with offering sacrifices to stoves. On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, commonly known as offering sacrifices to stoves, housewives clean the kitchen during the day and cook soup for their families at night. The soup for offering sacrifices to stoves in eastern Henan is very simple. Slide half a Chinese cabbage and a handful of vermicelli into the oil pan, boil with water, pour the batter, and stir while cooking until the taste is slightly mushy.

Five, hemp sugar

Kitchen candy, also known as sesame candy, is made of maltose and covered with white sesame seeds. It tastes fragrant and sweet, and is deeply loved by children and adults! The taste is very sticky, in order to stick the mouth of Kitchen God, not to speak ill, but also to pin everyone's yearning for a better life!

Now that people's lives are good, you don't have to wait for holidays to eat anything delicious, but in some festivals, people will eat the same food. If you still know what food you eat in the next year, please leave a message in the comments below.
