Today is the summer solstice. From this day on, it means that the heat is approaching. At this time, the days are longest and the nights are shortest. It's not dark at around seven o'clock in the evening, so I feel like I can do a lot of things. During the summer solstice here, there is a custom of eating noodles, but Yangyang from the Guangliang family insists on eating pie. A new shop has been opened near our home-Kyoto pie, and it will be sent to the same city inspection shop later. Get up at six o'clock in the morning, cook millet porridge, turn to the lowest heat, and go buy pies. There were not many people on the street, so the wind blew a little cooler. There are four intersections from home to the bakery. Glorious discovered a problem. Most people who ride bicycles or electric bicycles do not abide by traffic rules and walk, and many people hit red lights. Now non-motor vehicles are fined when they go on motorways. It's better during the day. When the traffic police are not at work, there are really many people walking around randomly. For everyone's safety, please abide by the traffic rules!

Super rice--low-oil version of fried stuffed eggplant! <br /><br />I first ate this dish in a restaurant, which cooks Shandong cuisine very well. Sometimes when people go to a party, they will order a few Shandong cuisine. Every time, the must-have one is fried and stuffed eggplant. There is only one long eggplant on each plate. It is very delicious and goes well with the rice. I improved it and applied starch on the outside. During the frying process, I didn't eat much oil. The oil absorbed was less than the oil of a stir-fried dish dish, not as much oil in the restaurant. So today, I also tried to make a fried and stuffed eggplant. I hope everyone will support and like it!

Today is the summer solstice. The summer solstice is the earliest established solar term among the 24 solar terms of the lunar calendar. It is also an important folk traditional festival in China. It is called the "Summer Solstice Festival." On this day, there are many customs such as eating noodles, rice dumplings, and wontons. There is also a folk saying of "setting summer and eating supplements." The summer solstice is the time for the wheat harvest. Since ancient times, it has been a custom to celebrate a bumper harvest and sacrifice to ancestors at this time to pray for disaster relief and prosperity. Therefore, as a festival, the summer solstice was included in the ancient ritual of worshipping gods. "Zhou Li·Chunguan" records: "Summer comes to local things." The Zhou Dynasty offered sacrifices to the gods during the summer solstice, which meant to eliminate years of famine, hunger and death. <br /><br />In the old days, the ancients attached great importance to the Summer Solstice Festival. Before the Qing Dynasty, the whole country had a day holiday on the summer solstice. In the Song Dynasty, officials also had a three-day holiday on the summer solstice. In the Liao Dynasty,"the summer solstice was called the 'Chao Festival', and women entered colorful fans and presented them with powder and fat sachets." Colorful fans are used to drive away heat, and sachets can repel mosquitoes and suppress odors. <br /><br />Since ancient times, there has been a saying among China people that "winter solstice dumplings and noodles." Eating noodles during the summer solstice is an important custom in many areas. There is a saying among the people that "after eating summer solstice noodles, a line will be shorter in the day." There are many varieties of noodles in the south, such as Yangchun noodles, dried soup noodles, shredded pork noodles, three fresh noodles, cross-deck noodles and sesame oil cold noodles, while in the north, there are noodles and fried sauce noodles. "Because new wheat has already appeared during the summer solstice, eating noodles during the summer solstice also means trying new ones." <br /><br />On the summer solstice, in addition to pasta, some places in our country eat jelly and cold rice noodles. Some areas also drink herbal tea, eat lychees, and eat tea eggs. Some places also have the habit of eating dog meat. My cold noodles have a strong aroma of garlic, the fragrance of shredded watermelon and the light acidity of red vinegar.
