On the Mid-Autumn Festival, in addition to moon cakes, people in Hefei also eat lotus root. On the first day of the new year, three meals must be eaten, and each meal is sumptuous, with about ten Just a few dishes. I want to cook a portion of fish braised in braised sauce and add more chili peppers, put it on the table but not eat it. After eating, put the fish away. It means having more than enough every year.
There are two special things about Hefei people celebrating the New Year: first, they have to "fire charcoal"; second, firecrackers stay up all night long, creating a very lively festive atmosphere. "Dragging charcoal" means that after sweeping the dust on New Year's Eve, every family will pour vinegar on red charcoal in the house. Suddenly, thick smoke will billow and the smoke will linger. At this time, the door will be closed to purify the air and eliminate evil spirits. Avoid disaster. After the New Year's dinner, firecrackers started to be set off continuously from the evening to the next morning.
