In another week, the annual Dragon Boat Festival will come again. When it comes to the Dragon Boat Festival, our first thought is to eat zongzi, but now there are only unexpected kinds of zongzi, and there is nothing we can't eat. Its taste also meets the needs of different people. But with the continuous improvement of modern living conditions, eating zongzi is just a continuation of the festival, and there is not much novelty and expectation. If there is, it is also a legal holiday to take a day off. Then, do you know how the Dragon Boat Festival in Luohe rural areas was spent in the 1990s?

In Luohe in the 1990s, eating zongzi was a luxury, and it was impossible to have a day off during the Dragon Boat Festival. However, although eating zongzi is a luxury, there will be a unique way to celebrate such a day.

First, boil eggs to eat.

Modern people may want to laugh when they see this festival, but it was really like this in the countryside at that time. I remember my family cooked a lot of eggs in the morning. It is worth mentioning that at that time, the Dragon Boat Festival just happened to catch up with the wheat harvest, so it usually cooks a lot and takes it to the ground to eat.

Second, cook garlic and burn garlic.

A lot of garlic is cooked in the morning of Dragon Boat Festival, so the spicy taste of garlic is basically lost after cooking. It is said that eating garlic in this way can release poison, and it is often cooked once and can be eaten for several days in a row.

For roasted garlic, it is actually more interesting before eating, but needless to say, the taste of roasted garlic is particularly attractive, and the taste is similar to that of cooking, but it will not be barbecued, and it will often be roasted.

Third, use sachets and sachets.

If you can really get in touch with the Dragon Boat Festival, I'm afraid this is it. I remember when I was a child, my elders knitted bracelets or anklets with ropes of various colors. At that time, because the color of clothes and other colors were generally dark, it was particularly beautiful to wear braided ropes on hands and feet.

If it is the most beautiful, it is the sachet made, but it must have technical content. I don't know what material is in the sachet, but as long as I carry it with me, it will have a special fragrance and smell very fragrant.

Fourth, eat zongzi.

Although it was difficult to eat zongzi at that time, it was not impossible, just unwilling to spend money. At that time, zongzi didn't have so many flavors now, and the colorful packaging was usually zongzi leaves or bamboo leaves wrapped in slender white ropes. Zongzi is naturally glutinous rice, some of which contain peanuts. I forgot whether there were any dates. In short, there are not so many patterns.

Five, pink nail dyeing

Small pink, also known as grass or impatiens, is called small pink in Luohe area. There was no nail polish at that time. Many girls who love beauty picked a lot of pink, found a piece of alum and smashed it together. When alum is dissolved in pink, they cover their nails with a proper amount of pink, then find some pea leaves and tie them to the fingers stained with pink with a rope. It usually takes one night to get beautiful nails the next day.

This is the sharing of the Dragon Boat Festival in Luohe in the 1990s. At that time, supplies were scarce, but I was very happy. Now I just miss it. So, what is the Dragon Boat Festival in your eyes?
