Around the Great Summer, it is the hottest, fastest-growing and most critical period of the year. Because it is a hot season, people pay great attention to diet in dog days, which is called "sticky fat" in the north. ?
At this time, the custom of northerners is to eat noodles, jiaozi and eggs. In Beijing, there is a saying that "cover your head with bread and scatter eggs in the sky". Beijingers will also make iced sour plum soup and sell it along the street. Because people's appetites are not good every dog days, and in the traditional customs of China people, pasta is food to satisfy their appetites. ?
According to historical records, the eating habit of eating noodles in rainy days began at least in the Three Kingdoms period. In the past, people's living conditions were very poor, and they had a bad appetite in the cold summer. When they fell asleep, they had just finished harvesting wheat. Eating jiaozi is a way to improve their lives. Eating hot noodle soup the next day can make people sweat and remove the moisture and summer heat in the body. Eating pancakes and eggs in dog days is to make people use the slack season to supplement nutrition, keep fit and welcome the autumn harvest.
