In the past agricultural society, the wheat harvest was just less than a month. In Man Cang, every family has a valley, and people take this opportunity to have a toothache and eat white flour. In the north, they will definitely eat jiaozi in the dog days. Eating jiaozi on the head is a traditional custom, because when it rains, people have a bad appetite and can't eat anything, while jiaozi is a food that stimulates and satisfies the appetite in the traditional customs of China people.

On the first day of the ambush, there was a "negative relationship" in the north. The custom of "spreading eggs" is to eat wonton in the south, such as Shanghai, and noodle soup in Guangzhou.

People in Hangzhou say "ham with a chicken head and chicken feet". Chinese medicine believes that ham has the effects of invigorating spleen, stimulating appetite, promoting fluid production and benefiting blood. Ham can be eaten all year round, but it is best to eat it in summer. In summer, people often lose their appetite and lack nutrition. Ham is nutritious, not greasy, and can stimulate appetite. Ham and wax gourd are cooked together, which is nutritious and can prevent heatstroke and get rid of diseases.
