This generation of Ningbo Shaoxing needs to make green dumplings and green cakes during the Qingming Festival. I remember when I was a child, people in the whole village would gather together to make green cakes during the Qingming Festival. We call it "mozi" here. We use a large stone mortar to mash the glutinous rice, then spread it on a table sprinkled with pine flowers, and then spread it into a very large cake. After slicing it into small pieces, you can eat it. This is a memory from childhood. In Ningbo, different practices towards Qingtuanzi are different from place to place. The green dumplings we made this time have stuffing, and glutinous rice is rolled on the outside. Such a snow-white one is also called "snow dumplings".

I can't remember how many years it has been since I haven't spent at home on Qingming Festival; this thing actually doesn't mean that I have to eat it on Qingming Festival. But when we were young, we remembered that every year, almost as the Qingming Festival was approaching, adults and children would go to the fields to pick this thing. At that time, the bamboo shoots had just grown out, and it was just time to dig the bamboo shoots back to make fillings with bacon. When the Qingming Festival really comes, we have to make rice dumplings to eat. When we go to visit tombs and worship ancestors, we will bring some rice dumplings to worship ancestors, and then everyone will share them together...

Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival again. If I don't meet the occasion, I'm afraid someone will hit me with bricks. <br />So today, I went to the supermarket and bought a bunch of soup yuan powder and soup yuan fillings to make soup yuan tomorrow. Then I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have poured soup yuan once or twice before the next year. I remember I took photos at that time, but I forgot after taking them. I can't remember where I threw the photos. <br />Hehe! After seeing too much of other people's boiled glutinous rice balls, how about coming to try our fried soup yuan? <br />Although it is claimed that fried food is unhealthy, I have always advocated that people will choke to death even if they drink cold water. Just because I am afraid of choking to death, I can't stop drinking it? So even if some foods are not so healthy, it's okay to try them once in a while, as long as you don't eat them every day! <br />Moderate control and reasonable matching are the fundamental way to health! <br />What's more, fried food has its irreplaceable crispy taste. Giving up such delicacy is not my way of living as a foodie, haha!

Eel fish, delicious fresh meat<br /><br /> Around the winter solstice, fresh moray eels were cut open from the northern ridge to remove their internal organs<br /><br /> Wipe the eel clean with a clean wet towel<br /><br /> Use thin bamboo strips to support the eel and hang it in a ventilated and cool place to dry<br /><br /> Steam it when you want to eat it and eat it<br /><br /> There is a folk saying that "the new style of eel is better than the taste of chicken."
