1, eat three treasures

"Small summer heat, steaming and cooking", the arrival of small summer heat means that it is about to enter the dog days. At this time, the weather is hot, the human body sweats a lot and consumes a lot. Health care must pay attention to supplement physical strength, reduce fever and prevent heatstroke. At this time of year, people have the custom of eating three treasures-Monopterus albus, honey lotus root and mung bean sprouts.

2, eat new (spicy)

In the past, there was a folk custom of "eating new things in summer", that is, after the summer heat, farmers tasted new rice, ground the newly cut rice into rice, and prepared to worship the food of the five grain gods and ancestors, and then everyone tasted new wine. It is said that "eating new" means "eating spicy food", which is a spicy day after the summer vacation. Cities generally buy a small amount of new rice for cooking in old rice, plus newly listed vegetables.

3, cucumber+boiled eggs

Some places in Shandong eat raw cucumbers and boiled eggs to cure the bitter summer, and eat eggs in the morning without eating other foods.

Step 4 Eat jiaozi

There are folk proverbs in Futian, such as "buckwheat can grow on radish head and buckwheat can grow on buckwheat feet" and "buckwheat can grow on jiaozi head and eggs can be spread on pancake feet". Eating jiaozi on the head is a traditional custom. Fukui people have poor appetite and are often thinner than usual, which is called bitter summer. In traditional customs, jiaozi is a food to stimulate appetite.

Step 5 eat noodles

The custom of eating noodles in Fukui began at least in the Three Kingdoms period. Wei Chunqiu: "Fu Ri, wipe your sweat with a towel, look charming." The soup cake here is hot soup noodles. "Chronicle of Jingchu's Age" said: "The soup cake turns pale in June, which is called evil." May is an evil month, and June also touches the edge of the evil month, so it should also be "evil". You can also eat water and stir-fry noodles in dog days. The so-called fried noodles are dry flour fried in a pot, and then mixed with water and sugar. This way of eating was common in the Han Dynasty since the Tang and Song Dynasties, but at that time, wheat was fried first, and then pasta was ground. Su Gong, a medical scientist in the Tang Dynasty, said that fried noodles can clear away heat, stop diarrhea and strengthen the intestines.

Step 6 eat mutton

Xuzhou people eat mutton in ambush, which is called "eating mutton in ambush". This custom can be traced back to the Yao and Shun period, and there is a saying among the people that "a bowl of soup in Pengcheng sleeps sheep without a doctor's prescription". People in Xuzhou love Fuyang, which is nothing more than a local folk song "Pick up girls on June 6th and make new wheat cake mutton soup".
