During the Spring Festival, such a big festival, I haven't been idle for a day. The temperature dropped sharply during these two days, the spring was cold, and the wind blew hard on people’s faces, but it did not detract from the interest of people who guess lanterns during the Lantern Festival. The Lantern Festival in Taizhou is the 14th day of the first month. Looking at the lanterns in the evening, I always feel that the atmosphere of the Lantern Festival in the city is not as rich and lively as the countryside, so I went to Chaoji Ancient Street with the children last night to join in the excitement. Red candles flicker and red lights hang high in the ancient streets and alleys, street vendors shouting, tourists walking through the alleys, and children holding lanterns all over the street. From a distance, you can see them all with their hands on their heads. Looking at the neon flashing decorations, they took a closer look. They were holding a small lantern instead of a paper lantern, but a trendy electric lantern. The colorful rotating lanterns fluttered randomly in the hands of every child. Happy chasing, pushing the Lantern Festival atmosphere to a climax.
There are several soup sellers on the street. They all say dumplings in the north, dumplings in the south, and of course there is a soup made by our Taizhou people. The soup is called Shanfenzhen in Taizhou, while the people in Linhai call it the soup. Paste, Taizhou people eat salty soup on the 14th day of the first lunar month, and sweet paste on the 15th day of the first month. Linhai people’s salty soup uses rice noodles as the main ingredient, while Huangyan people use sweet potato noodles for both salty and sweetness. Whatever you like to add is whatever you like, and the tastes of Baijia Qiangang are also ever-changing. After this Lantern Festival, you will spend the entire Spring Festival, come to Taizhou, then please finish this bowl of Yuanxiao Salted Soup before leaving.
I remember that Chongchong made glutinous rice balls last year, so this year we should make a real Taizhou people’s Yuanxiao soup. The ingredients for the salty soup do not include shrimp or dragons. The Chongchong’s mother has a bad thyroid gland, so no more salty soup. Seafood or shellfish. Please feel free to enjoy other ingredients and wish everyone happy and good luck every day after eating the salty soup. Again, the ingredients in the soup do not need to be as accurate as gram for baking desserts. You can add anything as long as you are happy.
