The winter solstice is the last big festival of the year, and it is also the most important festival in addition to the Spring Festival, as the saying goes, "the winter solstice is as big as the year", and in some places, the winter solstice will be the most important festival, and many things will be prepared in advance for the festival.
Next week is the winter solstice, and my family has prepared these 5 things in advance:
The first one: glutinous rice flour, which is used to make glutinous rice balls
The winter solstice is a good time to eat tangyuan, and in this cold winter, hot tangyuan can warm our hearts. Glutinous rice flour is the main ingredient for making glutinous rice balls, buy a bag of fresh glutinous rice flour, and you can make your own glutinous rice balls. In particular, our local breaded rice balls, which we call "large grain rice balls", are wrapped in brown sugar powder and soybean flour, which are soft and glutinous and very delicious.
The second type: sweet potato vermicelli
Taste a bowl of sweet potato vermicelli on the winter solstice, warm, sweet, and tender vermicelli, as if it is a ball of warmth. Rich in nutrients, sweet potatoes are one of the best ingredients to eat in winter, making for a variety of delicious dishes that keep the whole family warm and happy.
The third type: sheep scorpions
A bite of lamb scorpion on the hot pot on the winter solstice! Tender and juicy mutton stewed with unique herbs is a delicacy in winter. The steaming lamb scorpion soup not only warms the stomach and relieves the cold, but also replenishes the heat energy needed by the body. Even if you don't have a wealthy economy, you can taste full of happiness on the day of the winter solstice.
Fourth: oranges
Eating oranges on the winter solstice is a traditional Xi. Tangerines symbolize good luck and good fortune, and they are eaten in the hope of a good start to the coming year. Peeling off the golden oranges, the sweet juice overflows the mouth, and our mood becomes brighter. On the day of the winter solstice, everyone has the right to pursue happiness, whether rich or not, they can taste the taste of happiness in their mouths.
Fifth: dumplings
Dumplings are a traditional Chinese folk food, meaning reunion and happiness. On the day of the winter solstice, every family will make dumplings and get together in a reunion to share the warmth and laughter of home. Not only a rich food, dumplings are also an expression of emotion, symbolizing thoughts and blessings for loved ones. Although there is no Xi of eating dumplings on the winter solstice in the south, as a traditional Chinese Xi, we can also try to eat dumplings for the festival.
Next week's winter solstice, no matter if you have money or not, stock up on these 5 things in advance, eat and drink well, and celebrate the festival in a healthy way. Regardless of our economic situation, on the day of the winter solstice, we can feel warmth and happiness through these delicacies. Let's use these delicacies together to bring blessings and happiness to ourselves and our families and welcome the arrival of the New Year!
