What would the Spring Festival look like in ancient times?
If the "Spring Festival" in modern society took place in ancient times, how would people return home? In ancient times, due to geographical factors and the influence of ideas such as "parents are not traveling far," the ancients rarely left their homeland for a long time.
With the exception of some public officials and businessmen. If it was in the Qin Dynasty, they could walk the road, similar to the "means of transportation" in ancient times.
Among them, the three zhang wide in the center of the road is the emperor's special car road, and people and other means of transportation can only go on both sides. Or take the railroad or the straight.
The rail road resembles a modern railway frame and is convenient for horse-drawn carriages. In addition to walking, there is also the use of animal-powered carts, which are usually the most convenient and fastest.
Of course, you can also take water transportation. As an important transportation channel and economic lifeline in ancient China, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal carried the heavy responsibility of transporting grain and various commodities by water, and could also welcome officials and merchants who sent it.
It seems that the "Spring Festival" of the ancients is not easy to go!

· Can you eat weird-shaped strawberries?
The answer is to be able to eat. During the strawberry season, strange-looking strawberries are not uncommon, and the reason why they grow out of shape is not related to hormones, but to the environment in which the strawberries grow.
Due to uneven pollination, environmental factors such as temperature may cause strawberries to grow strangely, but this does not affect the taste of strawberries, so they can be eaten with confidence.
Studies have also shown that strawberry varieties are also the main cause of strawberry deformity and hollowness, such as some strawberry varieties with low pulp density, excessive use of nitrogen fertilizer when hanging fruit, lack of boron, insufficient nutrient supply, or too late picking may lead to strawberry hollowing.
Regardless of whether chlorpyramid hormones are used in the strawberry planting process, the risk of hollowing and deformity on the inside may increase as the fruit expands.

In the pine family, although there are indeed extremely cold-tolerant species such as Korean pine and Pinus sylvestris, there are also species such as Masson pine and Hainan five-needle pine that live in subtropical and tropical regions and are not cold-tolerant.
If you introduce them to North China, they will freeze to death.

· What is Onsen Egg?
Onsen eggs are a practice of boiling eggs. It got its name because it is boiled in hot springs (most of the hot springs are around 60 degrees Celsius).
When you crack the eggshell open, you will be surprised to find that the yolk has solidified slightly, but the egg white has not yet set, and the taste is very unique. This is cooked according to the different coagulation temperatures of the egg yolk and egg white.
The usual practice is to place the eggs in a net cover and put them in the hot spring for 5-12 minutes, and the hot spring water temperature is around 70°C. It is also possible to boil eggs directly with plain water, but the time and temperature need to be strictly controlled.
After cooking, rinse the eggs in cold running water to cool down and prevent the eggs from continuing to cook. After peeling, the yolk is semi-solidified, and the egg white is around.
