Taste of the Year: Jade Jasper---Laba Garlic
Along with eating Laba porridge and soaking Laba garlic in Laba, the flavor of the new year is getting richer and richer. Speaking of Laba garlic, according to the old man, the word "garlic" for Laba garlic has the same pronunciation as the word "shuang". This is the day when all businesses close their accounts. Calculate the income and expenditure of the year, and you can see the profit and loss, including foreign debts and foreign debts. All must be calculated clearly on this day. This is what Laba calculation is all about. On Laba day, a creditor who wants to pay a debt has to deliver a message to someone who owes him money, so he should be prepared to pay back the money. There is a folk proverb in Beijing: Laba porridge, Laba garlic, those who pay debts deliver letters, and those who owe debts pay back. Later, some people who owed money to others used garlic instead of counting to express their taboo and avoid the counting character for settling accounts. In fact, what you owe others must be paid back after all. There is also a saying: It is said that it is very embarrassing for people who did business in the early years to come to ask for accounts at the end of each year. A shrewd businessman had an idea. On Laba day, he pickled a lot of small jars of garlic. When the debt was due at the end of the year, he took a small jar of Laba garlic to the debtor's house and asked what he was missing for the New Year. Short of what? I just didn’t mention the matter of collecting accounts. When I got there, I took out a small jar and said, it’s the Chinese New Year and I don’t have anything to bring with me. I brought a jar of Laba garlic and I wanted to have a good meal of dumplings during the Chinese New Year. Because garlic has the same pronunciation as calculation, the debtor naturally thought that everyone had worked hard for a year and it was time to settle the debt, so he took the initiative to settle the debt. This incident became popular as soon as it spread to ten people and hundreds of people. However, this Laba garlic has continued to this day, and has lost its original meaning of collecting accounts. Instead, it adds a festive color to the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival.

Instant Laba Garlic
Soaking Laba garlic is a custom in our north. As the name suggests, garlic is made on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. The ingredients are very simple, just garlic cloves and vinegar. The method is also very simple. Just put the peeled garlic cloves into a sealable jar, bottle or other container, then pour the vinegar, seal the mouth and put it in a cold place. Slowly, the garlic soaked in vinegar will turn green, and eventually it will become completely green, like emerald jasper. In the past, people said that the color of garlic was not green because it was not Laba day. That's not the case at all. The reaction of soaking garlic in vinegar is that the green garlic cloves are spicy and sour; vinegar is sour and spicy. Often eating Laba garlic in winter is good for the human body, as it sterilizes and detoxifies. Serve a plate of hot dumplings, dipped in garlic-flavored vinegar, and add a piece of green Laba garlic from time to time. Just thinking about this sight will make your mouth water.

Today I will introduce to you a quick way to pickle Laba garlic. Two days is enough for you to eat crispy and delicious Laba garlic. If you don’t believe it, please read below.

Laba Garlic
[Origin of the Laba Festival] The most important festival of the twelfth lunar month is the eighth day of December. In ancient times, it was called the Laba Day and is commonly known as the Laba Festival. Since the pre-Qin Dynasty, the Laba Festival has been used to offer sacrifices to ancestors and gods, praying for a good harvest and good luck. In addition to activities to worship ancestors and gods during the Laba Festival, people also have to fight against epidemics. This activity originates from the ancient Nuo (ancient ritual to drive away ghosts and avoid epidemics). On this day, there is a custom of drinking Laba porridge, eating Laba rice, and soaking Laba garlic.

Yes, the taste has changed, it has become sweet and sour. So, its color also changed. Ordinary garlic is warm in nature, will generate heat when eaten in excess, and may cause local irritation.
