Rich soup

Introduction:

The Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month is always associated with various activities such as fireworks, dragon and lion dance, Lantern Festival and lantern riddle guessing. However, "eating bad soup on the 14th night" is the most impressive one in my childhood memory. "Fourteen nights, eating bad soup, watching lanterns" is a traditional program of Taizhou Lantern Festival in Zhejiang Province. Taizhou people celebrate the Lantern Festival on the fourteenth day, not the fifteenth day. There are many versions of the legend about "Fourteen nights, eating bad soup", but the more recognized version is that Qi Jiguang, the famous Anti Japanese general, was chased to the immortal cave in Sanmen by Japanese pirates when he was fighting against the enemy in eastern Zhejiang Province. Local villagers saw Qi's army hiding In the cave, they were short of food for several days. They were hungry, so they took out the only food they had. But the villagers were also very poor. How could they have anything to eat? So the owners put together a little bit of Western food. They all have vegetables such as green vegetables, radishes and winter bamboo shoots. But they can't eat enough food and they can't take out so much rice. What should we do? So someone came up with a good way to chop these vegetables, put them into the pot, and then put some rice flour paste to cook them together, and cook them into a large pot of soup. The soldiers and the people ate together. After eating, the morale of Qi's army increased greatly, defeated the Japanese pirates and won the victory. This became the "bad soup" later. That day happened to be the fourteenth day of the first lunar month. Later, in memory of the Qi family army, the custom of eating rice soup for fourteen nights was preserved here. Now there are traces of Qi's army in the immortal cave of Sanmen. The special feature of "Fourteen nights, eat bad soup" is that every house is open and bright that night. No matter who you are, acquaintances or strangers, you can eat it door to door. Bad soup is also called rich soup. The more people you eat, the more families you eat. It means that people and money are prosperous. So every household will burn a large pot of bad soup, some salty and some sweet, and then turn on the lights in every room and open the door. One is to welcome the God of wealth, and the other is to welcome guests. I remember when I was a child, in the evening of the fourteenth night, I took a small "iron bowl" and a small iron spoon that I had already prepared. The older children took a dental jar (it said "serving the people"), and a group of children lined up with iron spoons, holding homemade lanterns. I could hear the sound of tinkling from afar. Of course, the first choice was "bride's bad soup", because the local custom was to get married at that time Every bride's new daughter-in-law has to make "bride's bad soup", which is more beautiful and delicious than any other bride's. The "bride's bad soup" is sweet, which means the sweetness of the new marriage. Now there are many ingredients for sweet bad soup, such as carrot, water chestnut, longan, persimmon, red jujube, small dumpling, etc., which are made of starch and brown sugar (or white sugar), but the conditions were not so good at that time, There were only a few ingredients, such as Douban, carrot and jujube, but at that time only the people who took the new daughter-in-law had sweet soups. Therefore, the first pot of "bride's soups" must be the first one everyone wanted, and soon the bottom of the pot would be up. Generally, if the village was large and the population was large, it would have to make at least three pots, some even six or seven pots. It was not easy for the bride at that time Ah, I still remember that my bride's bad soup was no less than six or seven pots, thanks to my mother-in-law's help. After eating the "bride's bad soup", the mighty team set out to the next family. In such a night, they had to eat more than a dozen, some even more. No wonder some people said that the belly of the fourteenth night was a rubber belly, which could not be broken and could not feel full. After eating, they had to compare whose bad soup was the best and who had the most. Of course, the delicious one would be the best Be the first choice for next year. Now that the conditions of every family are good, and the children eat a lot of food, they will not go to other families to eat bad soup. But the bride's bad soup is still popular. When they got married, they would make several pots and invite their relatives and friends to eat. We would get together to talk about the past and increase our feelings. It's said that today's children are rich in material things. At that time, they were poor, but they were not as happy in spirit as they were at that time. I especially miss the scene of eating bad soup on the fourteenth night of my childhood. "

Note: 1. The traditional bad soup is made of early rice flour, because my mother-in-law likes to make it with flour. Since I married their family, I have changed to flour. I personally think it's smoother to make it with flour, and it's more refreshing to eat; 2. The traditional bad soup is made of dried cuttlefish, which is salty, hard to taste, and tastes more fragrant. I don't like salted food. For health's sake, it's more delicious I like to use fresh cuttlefish; 3. Oysters and razor clams are also used in traditional bad soup. Because my husband has ventilation disease, I can't eat too much seafood, so I have to give up my love, adding oysters and razor clams will taste more delicious; 4. When eating bad soup, don't stir it with chopsticks, otherwise it will become water soup. When eating bad soup, I can use my mouth instead of chopsticks and spoons Drink in circles.
