Have you had porridge today - fragrant Laba porridge

Overview

Today is Laba. Customs and habits vary from place to place. We don’t seem to be particularly particular about it. Today, my husband is resting at home. In the morning, while the two slackers were still sleeping in, I got up and started cooking porridge. Because I have a little chubby girl who loves porridge very much, the porridge at home is freshly made every day, but there are always varieties. Because today is Laba, a variety of ingredients are mixed together and cooked, and a little rock sugar is added. It is full of nutrition! After more than an hour of slow cooking in a rice cooker, the resulting bowl of Laba porridge is rich in nutrients, fragrant and delicious. I ate very few staple foods for breakfast and drank two bowls of porridge. I instantly felt that my skin was moisturized and beautiful... The weather in Xi'an today is gloomy. The forecast says there will be light snow tomorrow. I hope the snow will arrive as scheduled tomorrow, which will provide some relief from the recent heavy air pollution. This bowl of fragrant Laba porridge is for everyone who hasn’t had porridge today. I wish everyone a happy Laba porridge!
