Northerners, especially the old Beijingers under the roots of the imperial city, pay special attention to eating in dog days-"jiaozi lies on his head, and pancakes spread eggs in dog days". The Chronicle of Jingchu's Age in the Southern Dynasties records that "the soup cake in June is pale, which is called evil". Eating a bowl of hot noodle soup makes you sweat, which can remove moisture and summer heat from your body.
There are many ways to make noodles. We often eat noodle soup, such as tomato and egg noodles and braised beef noodles, which can be eaten with soup. However, noodle soup is generally high in salt, so drink less. Fishing noodles means draining noodles and mixing them with seasonings, such as cold noodles and dregs noodles. Some people like to wash their noodles twice with cold water, which will make some B vitamins and potassium dissolved in water, and the nutrition will be easily lost. Stir-fried noodles, cooked noodles are fried with ingredients, and generally use more oil, so it is not recommended to eat them often; Braised noodles, stir-fry all kinds of ingredients, and then add noodles and water to stew, with less nutritional loss.
2. Shanghai: tea
Shanghai has always had the custom of "wonton with tea". In the past, people used hot tea to relieve the heat. Modern science has also proved that drinking hot tea and warm tea can relieve summer heat better than drinking herbal tea. Fu Cha, as its name implies, is the tea that people drink in dog days. Legend has it that it began in the Southern Song Dynasty and flourished in the Qing Dynasty, but the exact date cannot be verified. Generally, it is drunk from the beginning of June to the end of August, which has the effect of cooling and dispelling summer heat. Under the scorching sun, a cup a day can clear away heat and relieve summer heat.
The two major functions of Fu tea are clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, eliminating summer heat and eliminating dampness. Therefore, the formula of Fuzhuan tea should be adjusted according to the different climate every year. The recommended formula of Fu tea is: honeysuckle 10g, bamboo leaves 10g, Prunella vulgaris 15g, lotus leaves 10g, lentils 15g, Pogostemon rugosa 10g and Eupatorium odoratum 65438. The above formula is one dose, because it is not used for treatment, but as a tea substitute, which can be divided into two or three people a day.
