Honey lotus root:
People have the habit of eating lotus root during the Lesser Heat. Lotus root contains a large amount of carbohydrates and rich calcium, phosphorus, iron, various vitamins, and dietary fiber. It has the effects of clearing heat, nourishing blood and relieving restlessness, making it suitable for consumption in summer.
Eating new rice:
There is a folk custom of "eating new food" during the Lesser Heat, that is, tasting new rice after the Lesser Heat. "Eating new" means "eating spicy food", and it is the first spicy day after the Lesser Heat Festival. In the first ten days, we eat radishes, in the second ten days, we eat vegetables, and in the third ten days, we can grow buckwheat; in the first ten days, we eat dumplings, in the second ten days, we eat noodles, and in the third ten days, we eat pancakes with eggs.
mutton:
People in Xuzhou eat mutton during the dog days, which is called "eating mutton during the dog days". This custom can be traced back to the Yao and Shun periods. There is a saying among the people that "a bowl of mutton soup in Pengcheng during the dog days is enough to save the life of a miracle doctor." The Xuzhou people's love for eating mutton in the dog days of summer is best reflected in the local folk song "On the sixth day of June, meet the girl and eat new wheat cakes and mutton soup."
Mung Bean Sprouts:
The third treasure of the Lesser Heat solar term is mung bean sprouts. In the hot summer, cooking a dish of mung bean sprouts can clear away heat, detoxify, and promote diuresis and remove dampness. At the same time, mung bean sprouts are low in calories but high in water and fiber, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and have a laxative effect. They are recognized as a good product for weight loss in summer.
As the saying goes, "A good fate is not as good as good luck." A person's destiny is already determined, and the only thing one can control is his or her "luck."
