There is a saying among the folks that "the new year is after Laba".
On January 20, the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month in the Chinese lunar calendar, in Yangshan, Wuxi, the "hometown of Chinese peaches", the local villagers of Qiansishe Village got up early and were busy steaming youth groups, making rice cakes, and making laba porridge to welcome the coming lunar New Year.
Walking into the village, you can see that the rice cakes just out of the pot are still steaming. After the rice cakes are out of the pot, the villagers also teach the coup of "cutting" the rice cakes. The laba porridge in the pot on the side is fragrant.
"There are pork ribs, pickled radish, tofu in oil, fennel, greens, red beans, peanuts..." The villager said that the Laba porridge cooked this year will also be given to the elderly in the village. It's getting thicker and thicker." (Reporter Sun Quan)
