Xiaoxue customs: eating glutinous rice cakes
In some places in the south, there is a custom of eating glutinous rice cakes in the tenth month of the lunar calendar. Ciba is a food made from steamed and mashed glutinous rice. It is a popular delicacy in some southern China. In ancient times, glutinous rice cake was a traditional festival offering in the southern region. It was originally used by farmers as an offering to the cow god. There is a saying "On the tenth day of the tenth month, glutinous rice cakes are burned", which refers to the sacrificial event. Ciba is a food made from steamed and mashed glutinous rice. Ciba is made by putting cooked glutinous rice in a stone trough and pounding it into a paste with a stone hammer or reed. Generally, this type of food can be called Ciba. Southern ethnic snacks are a popular delicacy in some areas of southern China.
Xiaoxue customs: drinking shaved soup
"Drinking planed soup" is a folk custom with a long history in rural areas of southwestern provinces in my country. The so-called "drinking paw soup" means that when the farm is about to celebrate the New Year, the family will slaughter the New Year pig. The pig is mainly fed by the family and used for the New Year's meal. It is basically fed with grain. When slaughtering the pig, relatives and friends will be invited to cook a big pot of fresh pig meat and internal organs, and pair it with other dishes. Everyone will eat, drink and have fun together. After that, the enthusiastic host will usually give a piece of meat to the guests. Whichever family wants to eat "paw pig soup", the farmer's home will be very lively that day. They will eat and talk at the same time, which not only strengthens friendship, but also exchanges information and plans for the development of the next year. It is quite meaningful, so this "eating paw soup" culture can be passed down to this day.
Xiaoxue customs: pickled bacon
There is a folk custom of "pickle food in winter to store for the winter". After a light snowfall, the temperature drops sharply and the weather becomes dry, which is a good time to process bacon. After the Minor Snow solar term, some farmers start making sausages and bacon so that they can enjoy the delicious food during the Spring Festival. In winter, wash the pork, cut it into one-inch thick, five-inch or seven-inch long strips, drain the water, add appropriate amount (3-9 grams/jin) of fine salt, soy sauce, vinegar, chicken essence and MSG, mix well, and leave it for seven days. Turn it over once a day. Take it out and let it dry in the wind on the balcony for about 20 days before storing it.
