New year's flavor: Jade -- Laba garlic

Introduction:

"With Laba porridge and pickled Laba garlic, the flavor of this year has become increasingly strong. Speaking of Laba garlic, according to the old man, the word "Suan" is homonymous with "Suan". This is the day when all businesses want to collect accounts and calculate the revenue and expenditure of this year. We can see the profit and loss, including foreign debts and foreign debts, on this day. This is how Laba Suan works. On Laba day, the creditor who is in debt should be prepared to pay back the money if he wants to send a message to the family that owes him money. There is a folk saying in Beijing: "Laba porridge, Laba garlic, the messenger who puts the account, the repayment who owes." Later, some people who owed money to others used garlic instead of the word "Suan" to show their taboo and avoid the word "Suan". In fact, those who owed money to others had to pay back after all. There is also such a saying: it is hard to lose face for those who do business in their early years 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 he asked for the bill at the end of the year, he brought a small jar of Laba garlic to the debtor's home and asked what he needed for the new year? Short what? But when it came time, he took out a small pot and said that it was time for the Chinese New Year. He didn't have anything to bring. He brought a can of Laba "garlic" and had a good dumpling for the Chinese New Year. Because "Suan" and "Suan" are homonymous, debtors naturally think that everyone has been working hard for a year, and it's time to settle accounts, so they take the initiative to settle accounts. Once the story spread, it became popular. However, this Laba garlic continues to this day, has faded the original significance of the account, replaced by the festive atmosphere for the Spring Festival to add festive color
