Eating glutinous rice cakes during the Lesser Snow solar term. In some places in the south, there is also 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. In some places, glutinous rice cakes are made into round shapes, some big and some small, symbolizing harvest, joy and reunion. In some places, it is also called rice cake, which also implies good luck and fortune. People often say: "Rice cake, rice cake, may you have a good year and a long life."2. Making Piao Tang Around the beginning of the first snow, the Tujia people start the annual folk activity of "killing the New Year pig and welcoming the New Year", adding a warm atmosphere to the cold winter. Eating "Pao Tang" is a custom of the Tujia people. In the folk activity of "killing the New Year pig and welcoming the New Year", the delicacy called "Pao Tang" is carefully cooked with high-quality fresh pork that is still hot. It is very suitable for health preservation in winter. As soon as the howling of the New Year pig was heard, the guests immediately put down their farm work and came one after another. The male guests helped the butcher to skin a fat pig cleanly, and the female guests helped in the kitchen. For a while, the farmhouse was filled with smoke and a festive atmosphere. As soon as the butcher skinned the New Year pig and placed it on the chopping board, the hospitable host ordered the butcher to cut off a piece of good meat weighing more than 5 kg to make the "soup meat". In a blink of an eye, the table was filled with pork ribs and radish, twice-cooked pork, intestines, liver, stomach, lungs, and pig blood, as well as the glossy and fragrant "soup meat" dishes. A rich and interesting "shaved meat in soup" banquet, with the whole table filled with fragrance. 3. There is a folk custom of making cured meat : "Salt the meat in winter and store it 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 Lesser Snow solar term, some farmers begin making sausages and bacon, and store the excess meat using traditional methods so that they can enjoy the delicious food during the Spring Festival. Many places have the custom of eating bacon in winter, especially in southern cities, which have a special liking for bacon. After the first snow, the fragrant bacon and sausages become popular delicacies on the table. How to make fried bacon and sausage delicious and tender? The trick is simple: first, boil the bacon and sausage in water. Secondly, be sure to cook it in cold water. This will allow the water to slowly penetrate into the meat tissue, making the originally dry bacon and sausage more moisturized. Guangzhou people like to use cured meat to make cured meat radish cake, cured meat cooked with taro, and fried sweet beans with cured sausage. In the cold weather of autumn and winter, when you open a clay pot rice filled with bacon and sausage, the aroma of rice and meat hits you in the face. The two blend perfectly. The warm and fragrant clay pot rice is the most suitable delicacy for winter. 4. Drying fish During the Minor Snow season, fishermen along the coast of central and southern Taiwan will start drying fish and storing dry food. Schools of mullet will come to the Taiwan Strait around the time of Xiaoxue, along with swordfish, sandfish, etc. A Taiwanese proverb: The beans in October are so fat that you can’t see the end. It refers to the fact that in the Budai area of Chiayi County, you can catch “bean fish” in the tenth month of the lunar calendar. |
