During the first month of the lunar calendar, you will have a good year. The first month is the most important month of spring. Mr. Shui Mo will share with you some knowledge about January.Pig headThere is also a saying about eating pig's head on the second day of the second lunar month. Since ancient times, offering sacrifices to gods have always required the use of three animals: pigs, cattle and sheep. Later, it was simplified to the heads of the three animals, and the pig head was one of them. According to a story recorded in the "Qiuchi Notes" of the Song Dynasty: After Wang Zhongling pacified Bashu, he felt very hungry, so he broke into a small village temple, but met a drunk monk. Wang Zhongling was furious and wanted to kill him, but the monk showed no fear. Wang Zhongling was very surprised and turned to ask him for food. Soon the monk presented a plate of "steamed pig heads" and wrote a poem for it: "The mouth is long, the hair is short and shallow, and it contains fat. It has been eating medicinal seedlings in the mountains for a long time. It has been wrapped in banana leaves when steamed, and apricot juice is poured when cooked.The red and fresh one is elegantly called Jinpanting, and the ripe and soft one is worthy of being picked with jade chopsticks. If there are no hairy roots to compete with, the felt roots will eat the vines by themselves. "Wang Zhongling was very happy while eating the steamed pig's head and listening to the humorous and unique "pig's head poem", so he named the monk "Purple-robed Master". It seems that the pig's head is really a delicacy, and it is also an auspicious symbol of turning danger into safety and rising to prominence. Nowadays, there is a famous dish called "braised pig's face", which goes through twelve steps such as selecting ingredients, cleaning, spraying and roasting, washing and soaking, and sauce making, and it takes more than ten hours of cooking before it can be served on the table. There are three kinds of "braised pig's face", one is to eat it with its original flavor; the second is to eat it with sauce; the third is to eat it with pancakes. Each way of eating has a different taste. "Braised pig's face" is fat but not greasy, the meat and bones are separated, and it is glutinous and delicious, which brings beauty and brain health effects to modern people. Eating modern "braised pig's face" on "February 2" and recalling the ancient catering history is really a perfect experience of the fusion of contemporary and historical. Mustard RiceEating mustard rice on the second day of the second lunar month is a widely spread custom among the people of Wenzhou, and there is a saying that "eating mustard rice will prevent scabies." In the old days, people lived in poverty and had a weak awareness of hygiene. In addition, there was a lack of medical care and medicine, so there were many patients with skin diseases (such as scabies), which were easily contagious. Mustard contains a large amount of chlorophyll and vitamin C. Regular consumption of vegetables rich in chlorophyll and vitamin C can improve one's immunity, enhance resistance, and is good for human skin. Therefore, there is a saying that "eating mustard rice will prevent scabies."It is said that there is an interesting legend behind this custom. One day, Emperor Qianlong went incognito to investigate the people's conditions and arrived at a farmer's home in southern Zhejiang. He discovered a well-read young man named Zhang who, due to his poor family background, could not go to Beijing for the imperial examination and had to study hard at home. Zhang was hospitable and invited Emperor Qianlong to have a simple meal. When preparing to cook, Zhang found that there was not enough rice in the rice jar and there were no dishes. Zhang suddenly came up with a plan. He asked his wife to prepare the fire first, and then he went out from the back door to the vegetable garden to peel a handful of green and tender mustard greens, added some seasonings, and cooked a pot of green mustard rice with white in it. Emperor Qianlong was used to eating delicacies from land and sea, and fresh seafood. It was noon and he was already starving. However, when he smelled the fragrant mustard rice, his appetite increased greatly. He ate with gusto and praised it highly. He even asked how the green and white rice was made. Zhang's wife replied, "This is called mustard rice. Eating it will not cause scabies."
