What is the beginning and end of summer?
On the day of the beginning of summer, the ancient emperor, Gong Gongqing, held a ceremony for the summer in the southern suburbs of the capital, with Zhu Yi. He used the characters of Fu Xia as the Emperor of the Red Emperor, and sacrificed the ancient imperialism with raw meat, fruit, grains, and wolfberry tea. When this custom is flowed to the people, it is time to start a new taste. Later, he gradually established the custom of setting up a summer taster. It is also known as "Eating Three Fresh Foods at the beginning of summer" or "Seeing the New Three at the beginning of summer".
However, the "Sanxian" versions of Jiangnan are different from each other. Wuxi people prefer cucumbers and apricots. Changzhou people have a special liking for saury and citrons, while Suzhou people include qingmei and wheat in the “three fresh†menu.
However, in the eyes of the old Nanjing people, the “three fresh†foods to be eaten in the beginning of summer are “ground, water, and treeâ€. As for the specific fresh ingredients included in the Sanxian, there are two kinds of arguments spread among the people.
One argument is that San Sanxian refers to leeks, broad beans, and garlic sprouts; Shui San Xian refers to squid, white shrimp, and oyster dishes; Shu San Xian refers to wolfberry, cherry, and bayberry. There is also a saying that the three fresh vegetables are leeks, broad beans, pea cakes or glutinous rice; the three fresh waters are snails, river prawn, and bonito; the three trees are respectively cherries, green plums, and citron heads.
Today, cherries go into the homes of ordinary people, and squids are almost extinct. Therefore, the new version of "Sanxian" can make every imagination possible, picking up seasonal fresh food.
What are the specific three? The following small series introduces you.
1, three fresh
Three fresh vegetables are beans, leeks, and cucumbers (one is leeks, broad beans, garlic sprouts). In fact, all localities have their own three fresh. There are certain reasons to eat these three kinds of food.
The reason why to eat broad beans is because it is just at the beginning of summer, it is just on the market; beans, also known as germinated beans, eat beans at the beginning of summer, to discuss the "hair" of the color. When you buy fresh beans, you must peel off the beans and look at them. To pick out the broad beans, it is green, and it is a fresh, good bean with a thin and tender skin and soft mouth. If the ribs darken, it means the fava beans are not fresh.
The seasonal vegetables, red leeks, and the leeks brought up the dishes and drunk the red broth to discuss the “red†transport. In summer, people are sweating a lot. Eating more leeks not only enhances their physical fitness, improves their immune system, but also helps them lose weight and relieve blood loss.
In the end, cucumbers have a large amount of water, which is also very suitable for summer eating.
