What are the different customs of celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival in various places?

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming again. Every time at this time, wanderers outside want to go home and reunite with their parents. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for family reunion. In my hometown, celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival means having a big meal.

Nowadays, the standard of living has improved, but it is not as hard as the days when I was a child. At that time, I was young and ignorant, and I always looked forward to eating good food during the festival.

When I was a child, my mother would tell us one night in advance not to let her chickens go out. The next morning, she would catch one and kill the chicken. At this time, I would Watching my mother operate it, I didn’t feel cruel at all, because I wanted to eat chicken so much.

After my mother cuts the chicken and washes it, she will stir-fry the chicken in the pot and add water to make soup, and the aroma will come out.

Dad went to buy meat and mooncakes. The mooncakes at that time were made with five kernels, orange peel and rock sugar, which was my favorite kind of mooncake. Because I didn’t buy much, my father said I would save it for the night when I would enjoy the moon. But I couldn’t wait until that time, so I often started eating in advance and found a rock candy while eating it. It was like hunting for treasure. I would be so happy if I got it. .

Often when the rice is ready, I just eat a chicken drumstick and can no longer eat other delicious meals. My mother often talks about it.

Children will also ask when they meet, has your family bought mooncakes? If your friends don’t buy it, they will feel unhappy at all.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are already millet seeds. We will fry some or boil some as snacks. The fruits are apples and oranges. It feels like the Chinese New Year. We are very happy, but listen to our parents It is said that children know the joy of festivals, but they do not know the hard work.

Now that I have grown up, I can no longer find the joy of my childhood, nor can I eat the mooncakes in my memory. Even my mother said that the mooncakes now are not as delicious as before.
