The so-called "zheluo" is a hodgepodge of leftover food from the first to the third day of the Chinese New Year. "Zheluo" is a special term in old Beijing and Hebei region. The Beijing Dialect Dictionary explains it as: "After the banquet, all the remaining dishes, regardless of their type, are thrown together... It is also called 'Zheluocai'."In the past, people were not rich and were reluctant to throw away leftovers from the previous day, so they would mix them together and cook them the next day. The leftovers had a special flavor and some people liked to eat them. In the suburbs of Beijing, this custom was still preserved until the late 1970s: leftover dishes from weddings and funerals were mixed together and sent by the host family to each household in the village. Before the 1950s, there were small restaurants in Beijing that specialized in selling "zheluo". They would buy leftovers from big restaurants at low prices the day before and sell them to poor "foot laborers" and other lower-class working people the next day. Based on this inference, it seems that rich people certainly don’t eat “zheluo”, but this is not entirely true. What to eat on the fourth day of the first lunar month: rice noodles <br /> There is also a custom of eating rice noodles on the fourth day of the first lunar month. Hainan noodles are a must-eat for people in Ding'an, Hainan during the Chinese New Year. The thin and long noodles represent longer life and healthier life for the elderly and further career advancement for the young. Walking in the Ding'an market on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, you can hear the shouts of noodle vendors everywhere. This is also the time when Hainan noodles collectively "appear". What to eat on the fourth day of the first lunar month: the old custom of "get out of here buns" In the past, on the fourth night of the first lunar month, old Beijing shops would host a banquet for their employees and distribute red envelopes. There is wine and food at the banquet, and the custom is to eat buns after drinking. There was an old saying in Beijing in the past: "I'm not afraid of heaven or earth, but I'm afraid of the shopkeeper speaking Mandarin on the fourth night of the New Year." At this time, the shopkeeper would raise his glass to congratulate and say "hard work" to everyone. This is called "Mandarin." After the official speech, the buns were served. The shopkeeper picked up the buns himself and put them in the bowl of whoever the bun was placed in. That person was implied to have been fired. The fired person would automatically pack up his luggage and leave after the meal, so this banquet was commonly known as eating "get out buns". What to eat on the fourth day of the first lunar month: pancakes with eggs <br /> There is a saying in the north: "On the first day, eat dumplings; on the second day, eat noodles; on the third day, eat dumplings to go home; on the fourth day, eat pancakes with eggs." On the fourth day of the first lunar month, pancakes are the main attraction. The aroma of wheat, oil, onion, and meat, along with the heat of the pancake maker, emits a faint smoke in winter that feels like flying in the clouds. On the fourth day, eat pancakes with scrambled eggs. Small pancakes are also very delicious. The method of spreading egg on pancake is simple. Spread the batter into a pancake in a pancake pan. When it is evenly heated and almost taken shape, quickly pour the spread egg on the pancake. However, apart from the nutrients in the flour, pancakes are seriously lacking in other nutrients. Even if eggs are added, the diet still does not meet the standards of dietary diversity and nutritional balance. So, when eating pancakes, you can cut a few slices of braised beef and add some shredded tofu. You can also add some vegetables, such as shredded cucumber, shredded carrot, etc. Fortunes in life can be good or bad, and calculating the direction of your fortune in advance can help you nip problems in the bud, reverse unfavorable situations, and make your life smoother and brighter.
