The live broadcast life of Lao Linzi in Northeast China

Chapter 216 Jingzhe Eats Fried Worms (Subscribe)
The roommate said that in their Jingzhe every household eats fried worms, and this so-called "fried worms" means that the worms are fried and put in the hall, and then the whole family sits at the table to eat.

Not only do you want to eat, but you also have to shout while eating: "I've eaten fried worms!"

When the interest is strong, there will be competitions. The content of the competition... naturally is who eats fried worms faster, and who chews fried worms loudly!
The implication of eating fried insects is to eliminate pests.

Studio.

"How does the anchor know that I'm from Guangxi!?"

"Yes, anchor! I didn't expect that the anchor not only knows the customs of Northeast China, but also knows the customs of our Guangxi very well!"

"The live broadcast is amazing!"

"Eat bugs? Why eat bugs?"

"We do not eat worms here, but we have to soak the soybeans in salt water and then stir-fry them, and they are as hard as possible!"

"Yes, yes, especially, the louder the crackling sound, the better! It seems to mean that the bugs are suffering."

"Why do everyone in Jing Zhe have such a hard time with bugs..."

Li Yuan said with a smile: "In fact, it's not just bugs. There are also customs of beating villains, sacrificing white tigers, and eating pears in Jingzhe."

"Because the arrival of the Awakening of Insects also symbolizes the beginning of the second month of the lunar calendar, there will be a thunder on the ground to wake up all the snakes, insects, rats and ants in hibernation, and the reptiles and ants in the house will respond to the sound and look for food everywhere."

"Because the weather in the northeast is relatively cold, Lei Sheng's statement is not very accurate for us, but...in the south, it should be more accurate."

"Because of this, on the day of Awakening of Insects, everyone will smoke the four corners of the house with incense, wormwood, etc., and use the fragrance to drive away snakes, insects, mosquitoes, ants and musty smells. People and the habit of driving away bad luck are also the predecessors of beating villains."

"And there are also many people who use lime to kill insects. It is rumored that if lime is sprinkled outside the threshold, insects and ants will not dare to come to the door for a year, but this is actually the same as Wen Lei shaking clothes. It just wants to let the pests stop harassing me."

"And after a long time, many people only remembered this method, but forgot the purpose, and then it evolved into slapping the corners of the house, which can drive away the villainous plague gods around them."

"And the so-called frying bugs...in fact, the meaning is almost the same as beating villains. They both mean to prevent bugs."

Studio.

"Yes, correct solution!"

"The son of the Li family is the son of the Li family, you are right!"

"It really is a walking encyclopedia. How does the anchor know so many things?"

"Haha, my idol is really good! I just went to smoke wormwood and came back to watch the live broadcast of the Li family!"

"Then what about offering sacrifices to the white tiger and eating pears? What is this for?"

"Yeah, other customs have nothing to do with bugs, right?"

Li Yuan thought for a while, and then said: "Eating pears... I know this custom, but I really don't know why, but I do know a little about the custom of offering sacrifices to white tigers."

"Because it is rumored that the white tiger is the gossip of the heavens, the god of right and wrong, and it will come out every year on the day of Awakening of Insects to look for food and bite people. If you have been found out by the white tiger for telling right and wrong in the past year, you will often be caught by the white tiger during the whole year. The villain's revenge."

"So in order to protect themselves, everyone chose to worship the white tiger on the day of Waking of Insects, and they also worshiped the tiger drawn with paper."

"These paper tigers usually have yellow and black stripes, and a pair of fangs are drawn on the corners of their mouths. When worshiping, they must use the blood of a fat pig to sacrifice, so that the white tiger will not hurt people after eating."

"In the end, we still have to smear raw pork on the paper tiger's mouth, which will make the white tiger's mouth full of oil and water, making it impossible to open its mouth to talk about right and wrong in the world."

Studio.

"So this is ah!"

"This sacrifice to the white tiger sounds quite interesting."

"I think it sounds a bit intrusive..."

"It's just a custom. Now it's the age of science, so it's fine to spread it selectively!"

"Then what is the meaning of eating pears?"

Li Yuan shook his head.

"I really don't know the custom of eating pears, but there are so many people in the live broadcast room, should they know?"

"Everyone can talk about it, just so I can understand."

Studio.

"Eating pears? I've never heard of..."

"We all eat tofu here, but I really don't know about pears."

"I know this. It is rumored that 'pear' and 'li' are homophonic, so eating pears in Jingzhe can keep pests away from the crops and bless a good harvest for a year. That's why I eat pears."

"Sure enough...Modern customs are generally all kinds of stories passed down from the old days."

"It's good to have a story! It shows that our country has a rich cultural heritage!"

Li Yuan nodded with a smile, his expression quite agreeable.

"It's true, because these miraculous stories make our lives more interesting."

"But having said that, apart from other things, eating pears in spring is indeed a good thing."

"Because the season of Awakening of Insects is the time when it is warm and cold, and the climate is dry, people are prone to colds and thirst."

"And pears can not only be eaten raw, but can also be steamed, roasted, or stewed with rock sugar. It helps temper, calms the five internal organs, and can strengthen the body to resist the invasion of germs."

"Raw pears are cold in nature and sweet in taste. They have the effects of nourishing the lungs and relieving coughs, nourishing yin and clearing away heat, especially steamed pears with rock sugar, which are very effective in treating coughs, and the method of making them is also simple."

Before the live broadcast room, Li Longhui couldn't help but nodded when he saw what Li Yuan said.

Li Longhui: "The anchor is right. It is indeed a good thing to eat pears in spring, and not only pears, but all diets should be light. Before and after this solar term, it is one of the seasons with the most infectious diseases."

Li Longhui has worked as a doctor in the hospital for so many years, so he naturally knows more about the time period for patients in the hospital.

After hearing Li Yuan's words, he immediately typed to remind everyone in the live broadcast room.

Li Longhui: "After the Waking of Insects, the weather has obviously warmed up, animals have started to move, and various invisible microorganisms, bacteria and viruses have also begun to grow and reproduce, so everyone must control their diet and strengthen their physique to resist germs."

Li Yuan nodded.

"Well, I suggest that you can eat more fruits this season, and the food is mainly vegetables, such as sesame, tofu, milk, and fish, etc."

"Vegetables include radish, bitter melon, broccoli, papaya and spinach, which are also suitable for this season."

Studio.

"If that's the case, I'll have a recipe for tonight!"

"I read that spring is suitable for nourishment. Is this true?"

"Hey, the weather has changed too frequently recently, I've already caught a cold..."

"Why don't the anchor recommend some nourishing dishes in spring? Recently, the elderly and children at home are not in good condition. After being told by the anchor, I don't know what to give them."
