The twelfth lunar month (La) is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month (December). According to (j u), when Zhu Yuanzhang (zhāng) was suffering in prison (jiā nao), it was winter, and the hungry Zhu Yuanzhang actually went from the rat hole (dn? ) dig (páo) to find seven or eight kinds of miscellaneous grains such as red beans, rice and red dates (zálián? )。 Zhu Yuanzhang cooked these things into porridge. Because it was the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhu Yuanzhang named this pot of miscellaneous grains porridge Laba porridge and had a delicious meal (dùn). Later, Zhu Yuanzhang pacified the world and became emperor. In order to commemorate this special day (tèsh) in prison, he designated it as Laba Festival.

In addition to Laba porridge, there are also flavored foods such as Laba noodles. It can not only nourish the body, but also be a form for people to enjoy a bumper harvest.
After Laba Festival, the days get longer and the nights get shorter and shorter. From this day on, people are waiting for the arrival of the Spring Festival.
Unit 5 Composition Laba porridge 2 I used to look forward to Laba every day because I could drink a bowl of Laba porridge on Laba Festival.
If you don't get up early on the day of college, there will be nothing in the canteen, and you won't have breakfast. But if I happen to be at home, my mother will get up early to cook a bowl of Laba porridge, and the smell will make me get up and have a good drink. But now that I am a mother, although I often have no time to do it in the morning and go out to eat, I must get up early to make Laba porridge on Laba Festival.
It is said that Laba porridge comes from India. Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, became a Buddha under the bodhi tree on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. In some monasteries, before the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, monks begged along the street with alms bowls, and cooked the collected rice, chestnuts, dates, nuts and other materials into Laba porridge and distributed it to the poor. Legend has it that if you eat it, you can get the blessing of Buddha. Oh, I don't care if I am blessed after eating Laba porridge for so many years. Anyway, Laba's habit of eating porridge can't be changed, because I am greedy for the taste of that bowl of Laba porridge.
I thought about soaking beans before going to bed last night. I slept until 5: 30 in the morning and suddenly woke up and forgot to soak them. I quickly got up and washed the beans and put them in the pot. Then I dozed off. Then I washed and cooked.
I have put more than a dozen kinds of porridge, such as millet, rice, coix seed, mung bean, lotus seed, red date, wheat kernel, peanut kernel, black bean, ginger bean, etc. Before the pot is boiled, the fragrance has overflowed my hut.
Get up in the morning, because the smell of this porridge is more and more charming. Laba porridge is rich in materials. People who like sweetness can add more sugar instead of less. In short, the taste can be controlled by itself. It's really satisfying to drink such a bowl of Laba porridge for breakfast. After drinking it, you will miss the taste of Laba porridge.
Now I also learned how to make Laba porridge. Every time I miss the taste of Laba porridge, I cook a big bowl myself.
When did three China people start to drink porridge? It's impossible to prove it now, and I'm sure it's not two thousand years old. Laba porridge is a custom of Han people, which originated from Buddhism, so it is also called "Buddha porridge".
Two thousand five hundred and fifty-five years ago, the Buddha was born in the kingdom of Kapilao in ancient India. King suddhodana, Mrs. Moyev, is a prince. I was saddened by the birth and death of human beings. At the age of 29, I became a monk and lived in seclusion in the snowy mountains. At first, I ate a hemp wheat every day, so thin that my heart stuck to my back. Because if you don't move, birds will nest on unkempt heads. Six years have passed, and there is no way. I got up and went to Nilian Chan River to wash away the dirt from me for many years. I met Su Yeda, a cowherd who lives on milk and rotten porridge. Soon, the prince was ruddy and healthy. So he sat under the bodhi tree and made a wish. If he didn't become a Buddha, he couldn't afford this seat. It's night, the breeze is warm and the stars are shining. At dawn, the moment the prince looked up, Wang Qixing suddenly realized that he had achieved supreme consciousness.
Rotten porridge is porridge cooked with miscellaneous grains. After Buddhism was introduced into China from Afghanistan in Yongping period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the custom of "Laba porridge" gradually rose in China. Drinking Laba porridge is not only to commemorate the enlightenment of the Buddha, but also to pray for one's desire to become a Buddha in the future, or to be blessed by the Buddha.
My mother didn't go to school and didn't even know her own name. Laba porridge is always cooked on time every year. At that time, the family was poor and used nothing but rice, millet, radish and cabbage. Boil a big pot. Brothers, eat well. Mom said Laba porridge is a reunion dinner, and the whole family should eat it. One year, my second brother was not at home, and my mother came back with Kazuhiro Mori Bowl of porridge. My mother watched my brother eat porridge.
After the mother died for many years, my brothers and sisters got married one after another, and the family never had a chance to drink delicious porridge around the pot again. Located in the south of the Yangtze River, every household here drinks Laba porridge. The canteen of the unit also cooks porridge for employees. When I serve the bowl tomorrow morning, it is filled with not only the ancient traditional culture, but also the long-standing family relationship.
Chinese Unit 5 Composition Laba Porridge 4 Today is the twelfth lunar month, and the annual "Festival" is coming. In order to reward everyone for a year's hard work, President Fu personally arranged for the logistics director to go to the supermarket to buy back the ground lotus, red mung bean, glutinous rice, sago, sorghum, buckwheat and so on. , select the best lean meat, and bring some sweet potatoes and pumpkins from home, so everyone ate delicious Laba porridge with unique taste for the first time at school. Although it is porridge, everyone has a collective cohesion and is determined to work harder in the coming year and live up to the kindness of the leaders. Although I have seen Bing Xin's Laba porridge before and eaten it at home, I think today's Laba porridge is sweeter and more fragrant.
There are many theories about the origin of Laba porridge, among which such a beautiful legend is the most interesting. According to legend, Buddha Sakyamuni became a monk and traveled around the world. One day, he fainted in the wild because of hunger and fatigue, and was driven by a girl who was rushing home to find food. But her family is poor, and she is short of clothes and food. My family ate almost all the food, leaving only a few grains of rice. This girl is always generous and helpful. She found out a little bit of grain left under each grain bag, added some nuts grown by her own family, cooked a big bowl of porridge with clear spring water, served it to the Buddha and fed it to him bit by bit. After eating the delicious porridge, Sakyamuni soon woke up, took a bath in the nearby river, sat under the bodhi tree and finally realized the Tao on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Later, Buddhist believers cooked porridge for the Buddha on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month every year. So Laba porridge is also called Buddha porridge. On this day, the monks in the temple cooked the vegetarian food collected from the donation into porridge to worship the Buddha, and then distributed the porridge to the poor. Later, Laba porridge spread and became a folk custom. Lu You, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, left such a poem: "Today, Buddha porridge is given to each other, and Jiangcun is more important."
Sixth grade language unit 5 composition Laba porridge 5 "Don't be greedy for children, after Laba is the year." Laba porridge is the most appetizing part of Laba Festival.
On Laba day, grandma was busy cooking Laba porridge in the kitchen early in the morning. Mix rice, peanuts, red beans and lotus seeds with boiling water and cook for seven or eight hours, and a pot of delicious Laba porridge will be finished!
Before laba porridge was cooked, I couldn't wait to fill a big bowl. Laba porridge is as red as a shy child. Just looking at it makes people's appetite soar. I took a sip and put it in my mouth: "Hey? Why is it salty! The color is so red, shouldn't it be very sweet? " Grandma explained to me that northerners always cook Laba porridge sweet, while southerners like to cook it salty. I drank a big bowl of porridge and didn't feel anything special. Grandma told me again: "Laba porridge is not cooked yet, and the cooked Laba porridge is the most fragrant." Ah! I will wait patiently for laba porridge to be cooked.
In the evening, Laba porridge is finally out of the pot! This Laba porridge is not only more fragrant than last time, but also much darker in color. The fragrant smell made me want to stop, and the crimson color made my mouth water three times outside thousands of feet. Not only I, but also my whole family are immersed in this delicious Laba porridge.
After eating, I touched my chubby belly, and my curious little head began again. How did Laba porridge come from? Ask dad, dad shook his head; Ask mom, mom is speechless. Well, I'd better check online.
It turned out that the eighth day of December was the day when Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, became a monk. In order not to forget Sakyamuni's sufferings before becoming a monk, Indians will eat miscellaneous porridge on the eighth day of December every year. Over time, this custom spread to China.
Cold Laba Festival, eating warm Laba porridge with my family, I no longer feel cold.
Unit 5 Composition Laba porridge 6 Time flies, and it's almost winter in a blink of an eye, which reminds me of Laba porridge I ate last year. I still have a aftertaste in my mouth.
That was the day before Laba. Father bought red mung beans, lotus seeds, longan, red dates, peanuts and nuts. Before cooking laba porridge, my father asked me if I wanted to eat sweet or salty. Babao porridge is sweet. How to eat in salty porridge? I said without thinking, sweet!
Dad soaked red mung beans and lotus seeds first, and then went to wash glutinous rice. Red beans and mung beans are like a pair of good brothers and sisters, roaming in the ocean together. After a while, my father told me to wash the materials and put them in the bowl of the rice cooker, and then put water on them. I said, dad, no sugar? Dad plugged in the rice cooker and told me that putting sugar first would stick to the pot, and then put it when it was cooked.
Laba porridge needs to be cooked for an hour, during which it can be checked and stirred irregularly to ensure that Laba porridge does not stick to the pot. An hour later, my father opened the pot and put in sugar. I looked at it again. The original material with clear lines turned brown-red, the same color as the red bean soup I used to eat. It looks very delicious, and the smell makes me want to have a big meal. But my dad said I had to stir and cook for a while with sugar, and then cover the rice cooker and cook for five minutes.
I watched wisps of cigarettes float out of the rice cooker, get into my nose and come out of my mouth.
Five minutes have finally passed. I think these five minutes are longer than an hour, like a year. Dad unplugged the plug and gave me a bowl of Laba porridge with a spoon. Ah, Laba porridge is to pray for a bumper harvest, drink Laba porridge and smell Laba incense, hoping that the next year will be a bumper year.
Chinese Unit 5 Composition Laba porridge 7 Today is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, commonly known as Laba. At the end of the year, it means "wax" and "wax makers are also", which means that the old and the new are alternating, and it also means that "wax makers hunt together". At this time, people will sacrifice their prey to the ancestors of the gods and pray for good harvest and good luck.
Traditional festivals have been passed down for thousands of years, and many customs have gradually disappeared over time. The continuous development and progress of civilized society has added new elements to festivals, but the most primitive part of traditional culture has finally been circulated and preserved.
So on this day, almost all families eat Laba porridge to show their attention and celebration. Of course, my family is no exception.
Growing up, I have eaten many kinds of Laba porridge, such as eight-treasure porridge in breakfast shop with a lot of glutinous rice to thicken the porridge, porridge with a lot of rice and a deep red soup. But I always think porridge cooked at home is the best.
When I was a child, the chefs of Laba porridge were all my late grandmother and my dear father, or the breakfast shop outside. When I first got married, I moved to Xiao Lao, and later I became my mother-in-law. Long before Laba, my mother-in-law began to pick out whole grains such as wheat, beans and sesame seeds with glasses, and picked out good-looking and full-grained spare ones, and soaked porridge and rice one day in advance.
I am a bedridden person, and I am not good at cooking. My mother-in-law also feels sorry for our hard work and seldom uses me for help. Therefore, every morning in Laba, I will be awakened by the sweet smell of porridge in my sleep, and this year is no exception.
Before dawn, my mother-in-law is already busy in the kitchen. Sitting in the pot on the fire, the rice has blossomed, the beans have burst, the peanuts have peeled off, the red dates have cracked, and all the ingredients have burst meekly in the pot, emitting an attractive fragrance.
Mother-in-law kept stirring porridge with a spoon and listened carefully to the movement of the sweet baby in the next bedroom. I was busy cleaning up in the bedroom, listening to what they were doing outside. The laba porridge in the pot is getting stronger and stronger, and the warmth and love in my heart are getting stronger and stronger.
In the sweetness of Laba porridge, it exudes the breath of home and is brewing the joy of the Spring Festival. Don't be greedy, my child. After Laba, it is the New Year. Time, slowly, slowly approaching, approaching. ...
Unit 5 Composition Laba porridge The town is comfortable and quiet at night, only the sound of traffic rubbing the road. At the end of a stressful day, the short time to finish homework becomes a time to relax. He sat on the sofa and looked up at the calendar on the wall. Tomorrow is Laba Festival, and he secretly reminded him.
My parents are also talking about tomorrow's plans at the moment. I want to eat at home again, but he insists on going back to her husband's house. After several discussions, I looked at my son's expectant eyes and finally agreed, then dialed my wife's phone.
Long-lost phone call to his wife's house. After Ding left, the telephone of the country lady's house rang. She was suddenly taken aback: her grandson had been very busy. Why did he take the initiative to call? Press the answer key, and the father in the city speaks: We want to go to your house for dinner tomorrow night, and my son really wants to eat your laba porridge.
First she was stunned, then she was overjoyed: OK, she readily agreed.
On Laba Festival, on this day, he drove home. Turning the corner of the community and going up the stairs, the door has been left unlocked for him. He opened the door gently for fear of ruining the harmonious atmosphere. At this time, the dense hot air gently greeted, and the heat flow instantly filled the whole body. He looked at the table, and the family was sitting around the table, talking and laughing. When his wife saw him coming back, she stopped, picked up the prepared sea bowl and handed him a bowl of hot porridge.
At this moment, she enjoyed the family happiness again and looked at the family reunited with her family. She smiled with relief.
She is happy, but she is also reluctant and nostalgic. Children and grandchildren who have been thinking about it day and night are flying back, and Laba Festival is an opportunity. She wiped her eyes slightly wet with excitement, and he bit his ear quietly with a little mystery.
After dinner, she reluctantly sent them to the door. When they returned to the city, their father asked him what he had said to his wife. He proudly said: Last time I went to my wife's house, she said she wanted me to find a chance for you to come more often. She misses us very much, and this time he is praising me!
Hearing this, my father felt ashamed that he didn't care much about his grandmother. He silently stepped aside and wiped his wet eyes.
Since then, his parents and he often visited his wife, and her daily life began to become full of vitality.
Unit 5 Composition Laba porridge 9 Laba porridge, which is familiar to everyone, is eaten on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Although it is common, it is my favorite delicacy.
Laba porridge consists of eighteen kinds of materials. The main ingredients are glutinous rice, japonica rice and black rice. Besides red beans, peanuts, nuts, red dates, lotus seeds and longan, there are cowpeas and raisins. In order to better strengthen the spleen and stomach, Chinese herbal medicines such as Lycium barbarum, Chinese yam and Poria cocos are added. Thick Laba porridge not only brings delicious nutrition to people, but also conveys the thick traditional flavor of the year to everyone. Laba porridge itself is delicious, but with the careful cooking of my mother, it tastes sweeter and more delicious.
Mom started cooking on the seventh night of the twelfth lunar month. She put enough water in the pot, put the ingredients in, and then began to cook with a big fire. Every once in a while, her mother will stir in the pot with a spoon to prevent porridge from sticking to the bottom of the pot. After the water is boiled, you can turn to low heat and cook slowly. It takes about an hour. The delicious Laba porridge is cooked, and then you add rock sugar, which tastes sweet and delicious.
Cooking this kind of porridge requires certain skills. It is soft, rotten, sticky and non-sticky. You should do it with your heart. Laba porridge made by my mother has a special flavor, often full of flavor.
On the day of Laba Festival, I smelled Laba porridge and my stomach began to make trouble again. I said to my mother, "Mom, I'm hungry again." Mom smiled at my little face and said, "Little greedy cat, didn't you just finish eating?" Then I'll let you taste it. "Say that finish, my mother gave me a bowl with a small bowl. After a while, the porridge was not hot, and my mother let me eat it. I slowly tasted this delicious Laba porridge, looked up and said to my mother, "Mom, it's delicious! Thank you, mom. " Mother smiled and said, "It's too late. Don't eat too much, or it won't be easy to digest. I gave a happy "mmm" and then finished eating with a smile.
This bowl of porridge is slowly filled with love. Eating Laba porridge cooked by my mother is the happiest thing.
Unit 5 Composition Laba porridge 10 I always look forward to Laba Festival, because whenever Laba Festival comes, grandma will cook a big pot of Laba porridge for our family.
There is a legend about eating Laba porridge on Laba Festival! Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, lived in poverty when he was young. He was once arrested and imprisoned, where he suffered a lot. One day, Zhu Yuanzhang accidentally dug up a lot of miscellaneous grains from a mouse hole. He regarded it as a treasure, put the dug-up miscellaneous grains into a broken pot, cooked a pot of porridge and had a delicious meal. Later, when I became the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I ate delicious food all day, but I kept thinking about the pot of porridge I ate in my cell. That day happened to be the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Therefore, he announced that every household in Laba should eat porridge every year, so the custom of eating Laba porridge on Laba Festival has been passed down to this day.
Making Laba porridge requires various materials, such as yellow rice, white rice, glutinous rice, millet, water chestnut rice, chestnuts, red cowpea, peeled jujube paste and so on.
When the materials are ready, grandma will get up in the middle of the night, and I will watch grandma cook Laba porridge with great interest under the covers. Grandma opened the pressure cooker, put in all kinds of miscellaneous grains soaked all day, poured water, cooked for about 1 hour, and then sprinkled with sugar. At this time, I, a veritable little greedy cat, rushed to Laba porridge and ate it. "ah! This porridge is really fragrant, sweet but not greasy, soft and refreshing! " I ate and admired, and the whole family gathered around, and I ate bite by bite. In an instant, warmth circulates in the heart.
Every time I think of grandma's Laba porridge, my little greedy cat drools! Every time I think of a family happily eating Laba porridge, I want to celebrate Laba Festival every day.
There are two legends about Laba porridge 1 1 in the fifth unit of Chinese in the second volume of the sixth grade. It is said that Buddha Sakyamuni became a Buddha and went up the mountain to practice. 1On the eighth day of February, he fell on the side of the road because of hunger and fatigue. He was discovered by a shepherdess and saved with rice porridge, which made him realize that he had become a Buddha. On the other hand, Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, herded cattle to the rich man when he was a child. He was locked in a room by a rich man because of his broken leg. He hasn't given food for three days. He was so hungry that he searched everywhere and finally found a mouse hole. He dug up beans, cereal and other grains from the hole and cooked them into porridge, which was very sweet.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor. Remembering the taste of porridge as a child, he ordered the eunuch to cook a pot of sugar porridge with various foods to celebrate the ministers. Later, civil and military officials rushed to follow suit and spread to the people, becoming a holiday custom. Because Zhu Yuanzhang eats sugar porridge on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, this kind of porridge is also called "Laba porridge".
"Laba" is a grand festival of Buddhism. Before liberation, Buddhist temples all over the country held Buddhist baths and chanted scriptures, and imitated the legend that a herder offered chyle before Sakyamuni became a monk, and cooked fragrant cereal porridge to offer sacrifices to the Buddha, which was called "Laba porridge". Laba porridge was presented to disciples and kind men and women, and later became a folk custom. It is said that in some monasteries, before the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, monks would hold alms bowls along the street and cook the collected rice, chestnuts, dates, nuts and other materials into Laba porridge and distribute it to the poor.
Legend has it that eating it can get the blessing of Buddha, so the poor call it "Buddha porridge". The poem of Lu You in the Southern Song Dynasty said: "Today, Buddha porridge is more mutually beneficial, and the opposite is Jiangcun Village." It is said that Tianning Temple, a famous temple in Hangzhou, has a "rice stacking building" for storing leftovers. Monks usually bask in leftovers every day and accumulate surplus food for one year. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, they cooked Laba porridge and gave it to the believers, which was called "Fushou porridge". "Fushou porridge" means that eating it can increase happiness and prolong life. It can be seen that monks in various temples at that time cherished the virtue of food.
Chinese Unit 5 Composition Laba Porridge 12 In the morning, grandma brought out a bowl full of porridge. It turns out that Laba Festival is coming again. Every year at this time, grandma would go to the temple to ask for a big bowl of Laba porridge for her family, saying that after drinking this bowl of Laba porridge, she would be healthy for a year.
Laba porridge contains soybeans, red dates, red dates, japonica rice, glutinous rice, peanuts and walnuts. It tastes thick and sweet. But in the face of such a big bowl of Laba porridge, I definitely can't eat it. At this time, grandma will tell me many stories about Laba porridge.
Legend has it that a long time ago, before Sakyamuni became a Buddha, he ate porridge cooked by a common people and settled down, so everyone drank Laba porridge to commemorate him. He also told me that Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, also liked to drink this kind of porridge.
"How can such an ordinary bowl of Laba porridge be so magical!" I was very disapproving after listening to it.
"This Laba porridge is of course great." After listening to my words, my mother immediately retorted, "The materials in Laba porridge are good for your health. Red dates can replenish blood, walnuts can replenish the brain, and glutinous rice can replenish the spleen, which is much better than the fried food you often eat. "
At this time, grandma began to tell the story of Laba porridge. A long time ago, there was a family whose parents were very hardworking and their children were very lazy. Later, when mom and dad died, the children ate all the food without working, and soon the festival was coming, and they had nothing to eat. When they were hungry, they had to turn over all the rice warehouses and grain storage tanks at home, and finally got some miscellaneous grains. Children eat porridge cooked by miscellaneous grains, and when they think of their parents' hard work, the whole family can eat enough. Finally, he realized that only labor can produce, and only by cherishing food can he live a good life.
After listening to this story, I swallowed Laba porridge in one gulp, because this sweet Laba porridge contains the tradition of blessing, health preservation and thrift.
Chinese Unit 5 Composition Laba porridge 13 From the day I can remember, I remember that every year on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, my mother would cook Laba porridge for us. This Laba porridge is made of glutinous rice, brown sugar and eighteen kinds of dried fruits. Among the dried fruits, the big ones are red dates, longan, walnuts, ginkgo, almonds, chestnuts, peanuts and raisins. The small ones are all kinds of beans. ...
As long as I can remember, I remember that every year on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, my mother would cook laba porridge for us.
This Laba porridge is made of glutinous rice, brown sugar and eighteen kinds of dried fruits. Among the dried fruits, the big ones are red dates, longan, walnuts, ginkgo, almonds, chestnuts, peanuts and raisins. And the small ones are all kinds of beans and sesame seeds, which are very sweet and delicious. Mother cooks a big pot every year, which is not only eaten by the whole family, but also distributed to neighbors and relatives.
Mother said: This Laba porridge was originally cooked by a Buddhist temple for offering sacrifices to the Buddha-eighteen kinds of dried fruits symbolize eighteen arhats. Later, this custom became popular among the people, because it is also a good way to save money to take this opportunity to clean the kitchen cupboard and cook these leftover miscellaneous fruits for children. Finally, she sighed and said, "My mother died in Laba, when I was only fourteen years old. After I fell on her and cried bitterly, I hurried to the kitchen to make breakfast for my father and brother. I also saw a small pot of Laba porridge she cooked yesterday on the stove. Now I still cook this Laba porridge every year, not to offer Buddha, but to commemorate my mother. "
My mother died on1June 7, 930, which happened to be the Laba of the lunar calendar! At that time, I had my own home. In memory of my mother, I also cook Laba porridge on this day every year. Although I can't make up eighteen kinds of dried fruits, children still love them. After the Anti-Japanese War, we migrated north and south, sometimes abroad, especially in the last ten years. We hardly even have a "home", so we forgot the day of Laba.
Chinese Unit 5 Composition Laba porridge 14 Today is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, so we should drink Laba porridge. Laba porridge is a very special food. China has been drinking Laba porridge for more than 1000 years. It first started in the Song Dynasty. Every household has to do it. Legend has it that in some monasteries, before the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, monks held alms bowls along the street and cooked the collected rice, chestnuts, dates, nuts and other materials into Laba porridge and distributed it to the poor. Legend has it that eating it can get the blessing of Buddha, so some poor people call it "Buddha porridge". No wonder this kind of porridge has various materials and is very delicious!
The day before, grandma was busy cooking this porridge. Grains such as yellow rice, black beans, red dates and peanuts are soaked in cold water. Just looking at it reminds people of delicious food. Early in the morning, grandma made a stove out of wood, made a disaster, added water and gently put the prepared food in. The pot immediately turned into a colorful world, colorful and emitting a slight fragrance. Grandma gently stirred with a big spoon, and the pot immediately churned. Grandma covered the pot with satisfaction and went to watch TV, but I was still very interested and waited carefully. Now I finally understand why grandma uses charcoal. The fire dyed with charcoal is very soft and gently sets off the bottom of the pot, so the porridge will be more sweet and delicious. The charcoal extends downward bit by bit, so I push it forward. For our delicious food, solid wood turned to ashes. After more than an hour, white gas emitted from the edge of the pot cover and the pot made a banging sound. I shouted excitedly, and my grandmother came and patted me on the head. "Wait, I'm coming, you greedy kitten!"
She lifted the lid and the water in it almost disappeared. Small bubbles appear from time to time between tangled rice grains, like volcanic eruption. Swelling red dates float on it, like a group of cute fat dolls. Grandma and I are all smiling. "All right!" Before I finished speaking, I put out my bowl chopsticks and woke up my family. The whole family sat around a table. Everyone has a bowl of fiery red Laba porridge in front of them. I can't wait to have a bite. Wow! This porridge is waxy and delicious! There is a little bit of smoothness, like singing when eating jelly. Attractive red dates are even more sweet and delicious. ...
After eating a bowl of porridge, the whole person is warm, and the cold in winter is swept away. The fairy tale says: "Laba porridge is delicious and nutritious, and it can also increase happiness and prolong life." Alas, if every day is Laba Festival, if only I could eat Laba porridge every day!
