People in mountainous areas mostly eat cakes and buckwheat noodles. In the southeastern part of Shanxi Province, it is popular to eat fried corn. There is a folk saying that goes, "On the 23rd, don't eat fried corn; on the New Year's Day - eat all of it."
An old saying about eating kitchen candy goes, "On the twenty-third, the sugar melons are sticky, and the Kitchen God is about to ascend to heaven." Eat stove sugar. Stove sugar is a kind of malt sugar with great viscosity. When it is drawn into a long stick, it is called "Kanto sugar". When it is drawn into a flat round shape, it is called "sugar melon". In winter, it is placed outside. Because of the cold weather, the sugar melon solidifies and there are tiny bubbles inside. It tastes crispy, sweet and crunchy, with a unique flavor. Real Kanto sugar is extremely hard and cannot be broken even if dropped. It must be chopped with a kitchen knife when eaten. The material is very heavy and fine.
Rice cakes are made on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, commonly known as "Little New Year". People in Wuxuan, Guiping and other places in Guangxi have the custom of making rice cakes. Rice cakes are made of glutinous rice flour as the main ingredient, with peanuts, sesame seeds and sugar as side ingredients. They are put into molds and formed into round shapes, then steamed at high temperature. They have a unique flavor and symbolize "reunion".
