Qingming Special Food --- Youth League

Speaking of the Youth League, we have to talk about the Qingming Festival, which is also called the Outing Festival and the Cold Food Festival. It is a traditional festival in my country. On this day, every family has to worship their ancestors and sweep their graves. The poet Du Mu's description of Qingming in the poem of the Tang Dynasty: "It rains heavily during Qingming, and pedestrians want to die. I ask where the restaurant is? The shepherd boy refers to Xinghua Village." It can be seen that the Qingming Festival has already been celebrated in the Tang Dynasty.
According to the "Hundred Questions of the Years": "Everything grows at this time, it is clean and clear. So it is called Qingming." Qingming Festival is a time when spring is bright and green, and it is also the time for people to travel in spring (in ancient times called Taqing) Good time.
In the north, people like to eat jujube cakes and rice cakes; in the south, it is mostly Qingming and glutinous rice and sugar lotus root. In Shandong, boiled eggs are eaten locally. The eggs must be dyed red. The children will bring them to school to touch each other's eggs.
Qingtuan is a snack in the south of the Yangtze River, green. Stir the wormwood juice into the glutinous rice flour and wrap it in the bean paste filling. After being steamed, the green and fluffy skin is sweet and not greasy, and it has a light wormwood aroma, which is really fragrant and delicious.
In order to make this youth group delicacy, my husband took me to look for wormwood by the river in the suburbs on weekends. I remember I saw it in that place last year. The weather in the north is relatively low. The grass just caught a cold and the flowers have not bloomed yet. Fortunately, I know that the wormwood grows in that place. If you don’t pay attention, you can’t find it. The wormwood just grew a few leaves, basically lying on the ground, and it took nearly 20 minutes to pick this little bit. It’s really piece by piece. Picked, it's very delicate.
After getting the precious wormwood, go home and immediately make a youth group. My husband still wonders if this thing can be eaten? Is it poisonous? Did you pick wormwood? He said that the wormwood in his hometown was dried and used to smoke mosquitoes. I am really happy. I am sure that I can eat it. It must be real wormwood. Wormwood has a special fragrance and is also used in acupuncture.
I made the Ai Ye Qing Tuan, one by one, fresh and refreshing, there is a light fragrance in the mouth, very soft, my husband likes it very much, and praised that it was done well, it seems to suit his appetite, which is not disappointing. My time and labor.
If you can't find wormwood in this dish, you can use wheat green juice, spinach juice, green vegetable juice, etc. instead, but it is best not to use coloring.
The medicinal effects of wormwood: it can regulate qi and blood, dispel the cold from the middle, dehumidify and open depression, promote muscle and relieve fetus, promote yin qi, warm the uterus, kill roundworms, moxibustion and alleviate all diseases, can clear the blood of the 12 meridians The Yuanyang of Sudden Return.
