Jinhua eats long summer eggs, red date eggs, peas, bamboo shoots, glutinous rice and so on.

1 Long-summer eggs are eaten not only in Jinhua area, but also all over the country, because since the day of long summer, the weather has gradually become hot, and many people, especially children, will feel tired and weak, and their appetite will gradually decrease, which is called "summer". So many children hang cooked chicken, duck and goose eggs on their chests to escape the heat.

2. Red dates and eggs. On the day of long summer, many Jinhua people want to eat red dates and eggs. The local people's practice is to wash the red dates and cook them in a pot until they are 70% or 80% mature, then beat in an egg, add brown sugar and cook until the egg is boiled, and a bowl of delicious red dates and eggs is ready.

3. Peas, bamboo shoots and glutinous rice. For Jinhua people, glutinous rice with peas and bamboo shoots with meat are also indispensable tip-of-the-tongue delicacies in the long summer. The older generation of Jinhua people said that after eating this meal, their legs were as strong as bamboo shoots, they could travel long distances, their eyes were as clear and bright as peas, and they were free from diseases and disasters.
