Tomorrow's autumn equinox is the sixteenth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms and the fourth solar term in autumn. Its arrival also means that the temperature decreases day by day, and the temperature difference between morning and evening increases. In the autumnal equinox, "divide" means "equal" and "half". In addition to the equinox of day and night, there is also a layer that means that autumn is divided equally. The autumn equinox was once a traditional "moon festival". The Mid-Autumn Festival that just passed was evolved from the autumn festival . After the autumnal equinox, the temperature drops, people are busy planting and harvesting but also pay attention to physical conditioning. In addition to adding or removing clothes, we should also eat more warm food in our diet. People of the older generation must remember "3 eats, 3 don't eats and 3 don't cook" when it comes to the autumnal equinox, so that they can spend the autumn safely and healthily.
What do the older generations mean when they say "3 eat 3 don't eat 3 don't do"? Let's take a look together, it still makes sense.
3 eat
First eat: pears
After autumn, the weather is dry, we always feel dry, itchy, etc., even after drinking a lot of water, we still can’t quench our thirst. This is Qiuzao. The older generation said to eat more foods that nourish the lungs, and their first choice is pears. The price of pears is relatively cheap when they are on the market in large numbers. We can stock up a little at a time and make autumn pear paste and canned pears. Today, Bao Ma recommends you the millet yam pear soup , which is delicious and nutritious.
Ingredients: 1 pear, appropriate amount of yam, 1 handful of millet, appropriate amount of sugar
① Let's soak the millet in cold water in advance, you can soak it the night before, and it will be good for the next morning. . The soaked millet needs to be washed a few times and then poured into the wall breaker.
②Remove the skin of the yam,After scrubbing clean, cut into small pieces and pour into the wall breaker.
③After peeling the pears, cut into small pieces and put them in, then add an appropriate amount of water to start.
④After the wall breaker stops working, pour it out, add some sugar and stir evenly before eating.
Second food: lotus root
"Lotus root is a treasure, autumn lotus root is the most nourishing one", so you can't go wrong eating it. The lotus root can be eaten raw, fried, or eaten as sugar lotus root. It tastes crispy, tender and sweet. It is rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, etc., and regular consumption is good for health. Different lotus roots are eaten differently. Crisp lotus roots are used for cold dressing and stir-fry; powdered lotus roots are used for stewing soup. After the autumnal equinox, I suggest that you still use it to stew the soup to add more moisture. The recipe recommended for everyone today is stewed lotus root soup, is nutritious and full.
Ingredients: appropriate amount of lotus root, salt, monosodium glutamate
①We remove the two ends of the lotus root, then use a paring knife to remove the skin, then cut into several large pieces, and soak in water.
②Add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar and 1 tablespoon of flour in the water, soak for a while, and then knead it for a while, the mud and sand in the lotus root holes will be washed out.
③Put the lotus root in the saucepan, add a few drops of white vinegar, so that the lotus root will taste more floury. Add water to the lotus root, boil on high heat and simmer on low heat for 45 minutes.
④ After cooking, add a little salt and stir to eat.
No. 3: Duck
Duck has always been considered a good food for autumn and winter, and its price is much cheaper than beef and mutton, which is the first choice for many families. Duck can be eaten in various ways. Many people like bbq duck , beer duck, blood duck and so on.What I recommend to you today is roast duck soup with sour radish. Why should I recommend it? Because of the autumnal equinox, the older generation said that the diet needs to eat less spicy food and appropriate acidity. Acid can appetite and drive away long-standing loss of appetite.
Ingredients: half old duck, sour radish 3, ginger, green onion, flour, cooking wine, salt
①We chop the old duck into pieces and soak in cold water for 1 hour , Then add 1 tablespoon of flour and knead for a while, then rinse.
②Boil water in a pot, add green onion knot, ginger slices, and cooking wine to blanch water. Then pour the duck meat. When there is a lot of foam on the surface, remove the duck meat and rinse it with warm water.
③Pour the duck into a saucepan, add sliced ginger and green onion knot, then pour in boiling water, boil over high heat and simmer on low heat.
④When the duck can be pierced in the pot with chopsticks, we pour in small pieces of sour radish and continue to simmer for 25 minutes.
⑤Add a little salt, simmer for 10 minutes and serve.
3 do not eat
First do not eat: watermelon
Watermelon juice is rich and sweet, and it is loved by people. But watermelon is also cold, the temperature gradually drops after the autumnal equinox, eating too much watermelon hurts the body. Especially the elderly and children, who are weak and should not eat. And cantaloupe is not suitable for consumption, it is already off the market, and the taste is not good, and it may cause internal damage due to long-term storage.
No. 2 not to eat: spicy
I don't know when since then, pepper has become an indispensable condiment for thousands of households, and some people are not spicy enough. After the fall, the weather is dry, eating too much chili makes it easy to feel uncomfortable, and the home is dry. There are some people who are reluctant to walk because of the cold, and they are not suitable for eating chili. If you are really a hot pepper fan,It is recommended that you eat chili that is not spicy.
No. 3: Cold drinks
After the long summer, our spleen and stomach are relatively weak. Eating too much raw and cold food can easily bring discomfort. For some reason, many young people like to have a popsicle in the autumn and winter to stimulate and feel comfortable. But our intestines can't stand this kind of cold, it will resist. For health, drink cold.
3 do not do
Do not do the first: take a cold shower
in the summer due to the high temperature, the clothes are soaked when going out, it is particularly comfortable to take a cold shower at home. After autumn, the temperature is low and the body needs to keep warm. If you take a cold shower, it will only make your body colder and colder. In addition, remember to blow dry your hair, otherwise you may catch a cold.
No. 2: Staying up late
Since the development of the Internet, staying up late seems to be a habit of people nowadays. Late to bed late to wake up is the norm for young people, this is not a healthy way of life. In this way, not only will the body not get enough rest, but it will also make us not full of energy at work.
No. 3: Unreasonable combination of diet
After the fall, I have a great appetite and I always want to eat a lot, so I care about chicken, duck and fish every day. It doesn't matter if you eat, but you have to use it in moderation, and you have to mix it with meat and vegetables.
.Conclusion: Tomorrow is the autumnal equinox. The old tradition remembers to "3 eat, 3 don't eat and 3 don't do", and remember the words of the older generation. I'm Baoma's private room, an office worker who likes to make meals. Around the stove, pots and pans and work every day, tired and happy. I will do my best to share my family’s three meals and four seasons, to provide you with reference, and to record my lost youth, and also look forward to communicating with you.
