What traditional foods do millennials eat?

Eat longan

People in Fuzhou, Fujian Province have a traditional custom called "The White Dew must eat longan", which means that eating longan on the day of the White Dew has a miraculous effect of greatly nourishing the body. Because longan itself has health-care effects such as invigorating qi and spleen, nourishing blood and calming the nerves, it is a custom to eat longan after the Millennium.

Eat sweet potatoes

In the folk, people in some places think that eating sweet potatoes in the Millennium can prevent stomach acid after meals, so farmers in the old society used to eat sweet potatoes on the Millennium Festival.

Drink Bailu tea

There is a folk saying that "spring tea is bitter and summer tea is astringent, so drink tea, and autumn dew is the best time to pick tea all year round." Because Bailu tea is neither as fresh as spring tea nor as dry and bitter as summer tea, it has a unique sweet taste. Many tea lovers like to hoard Bailu tea in the Bailu season.
