Peace every year---Laba porridge

Don’t be greedy, little kids, come here and it’s the New Year’s Eve. The annual Laba Festival is here again, and every time it comes to Laba, memories of Laba arise unconsciously. When I was a child, my mother would get up in the morning during Laba! Get up! Today we have Laba sweet porridge! I woke up suddenly to the cry, sweet! Therefore, the sweet source of Laba Festival is always filled with my memory. When you make Laba porridge at home, you can use more or less raw materials and mix it with a variety of grains. Peanuts and black beans are nutritious enough, so there is no need to pay too much attention to it. I dug out everything that could be used to make porridge at home and added it all, and put them all to use. The finer the pieces, the more peace they have.

Enjoy Laba in a Simple Way—Qibao Five-flavor Porridge

Today, during the Laba Festival, I will make a simple recipe called "Qibao Five Flavors Porridge". When I first heard the name, I must have thought it would be easy to make! Haha, a simple dish of porridge, with a name and this trick! To attract attention? Snickering, I actually searched for some allusions about Laba porridge on Baidu, and then I found out that Laba porridge is also called Qibao and Five-flavor porridge. Laba porridge is a kind of porridge made from a variety of ingredients during the Laba Festival. It is also called Qibao and five-flavor porridge. Eating Laba porridge to celebrate the harvest has been passed down to this day. The earliest Laba porridge was cooked with red beans. Later, it evolved and became more colorful with local characteristics. Ming'er understands! Listen to the story below! When I was little, I loved listening to my grandma telling stories, and I also heard her telling stories about the origin of Laba porridge. The almighty Du Niang found this story that reminds us to be diligent and thrifty in housekeeping. It is the same as what grandma told. In the early years, there was a family of four, an old couple and two sons. The old couple are very hard-working and work on the crops all year round. Plowing in the spring, hoeing in the summer and harvesting in the autumn, we work diligently towards our days. The various grains stored at home are full in large quantities and small in quantity. There was also a jujube tree in their yard. The old couple cultivated it carefully. The jujubes they produced were crisp and sweet. They sold them at the market and made a lot of money. They lived a very wealthy life. The old couple worked hard to find wives for their two sons. Seeing that the son was reaching the age to marry a wife day by day, and the old couple were getting old, the old father asked the two brothers to plant crops well before his death; the old mother asked the two brothers to take good care of the jujube trees in the yard and save money to save food for marrying a wife. In a family of four, only the two brothers are left to live. When the elder brother saw the food in the big hoard and the small hoard, he said to his younger brother: We have so much food, that’s enough. Let’s take a break this year! The younger brother said: The jujube tree is not in need this year. Anyway, we are not short of jujubes. In this way, the two brothers became more and more lazy and greedy. Just knowing that we eat, drink and have fun year after year, we have used up all the food in a few years. As for the jujube trees in the yard, the dates they bear are not as good as each year. It was the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month this year, and there was really nothing to eat at home. What should we do? The elder brother found a small broom, and the younger brother brought a small dustpan, and swept through the gaps between the large and small storage areas where grains were previously stored. A handful of yellow rice grains were swept from here, and a handful of red beans were found from there. In this way, a few handfuls of grains and grains were collected, not much, but a lot of samples. Finally, a few dried red dates were found and cooked together in a pot. After it was cooked, the two brothers ate the porridge made from all kinds of grains. Their eyes looked at each other, and then they remembered what their parents said before they died, and they regretted it extremely. The two brothers tasted the pain of laziness and turned around, and became diligent the next year. Like their parents, they lived a good life in a few years, married a wife, and had children. In order to remember the lesson of laziness and remind people not to forget to live diligently and frugally, from then on, on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, people would eat porridge mixed with whole grains. Because this day fell on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, people called it Laba porridge.

Therefore, not only the whole family must eat Laba rice porridge, but also the trees in the yard, the livestock and the crops in the field must taste Laba rice porridge. When we were young, we didn’t get everything we wanted like we do now. On Laba day, my mother usually used corn grits and noodles and some kind of beans to make a weird salty rice called Laba rice. I can still vaguely remember the taste of this kind of rice. I will go back and ask my mother for the specific recipe and copy it once. Today's Laba porridge uses eight kinds of ingredients, which are very casually matched. If these foods happen to be available, they are used.
