Basic introduction of long summer porridge

In Leiyang, Hunan, every year in the long summer, every household cooks with more than ten kinds of condiments, such as rice tofu, glutinous rice balls, oily tofu, bamboo shoots, Toona sinensis seeds, peas, quail eggs, lean meat and pig offal, and eats eggs, duck eggs and cut eggs at the same time. It is said that there is a legend that "the seeds of long summer should not be killed by Lei Gong", which is said to be the method of exorcism by Emperor Yan, Shennong and others. Unfortunately, in Leiyang, you can only eat it on the Long Summer Festival. If we can advocate eating "long summer soup" in 24 solar terms a year, it will have a different flavor. Liu Yunde wrote a poem saying:

When the festival approaches, I want to travel far away.

Children's carefree mothers are worried;

Compassion is wrapped in rice and ground very finely.

Pity and pills, mix well.

Meat and vegetables are cooked in a sweet and sour pot.

The bowl of bitterness and joy is divided;

I woke up from a dream in a room smelling of porridge,

The light in the east window is very dim.

Long summer porridge tastes like mom!
