Xiaoshu, nthawi ya 11 ya dzuwa pa kalendala ya mwezi yaku China, si tsiku lokha pa kalendala—ndi njira yophikira yophikira kuti tilandire kukoma kwa chilimwe! Pamene kutentha kukukwera, timafuna chakudya chopepuka komanso chozizira, ndipo Xiaoshu imapereka mwayi wabwino wosangalala ndi chakudya chokoma.

Chimodzi mwa mbale zodziwika bwino za Xiaoshu kumpoto kwa China ndi Zakudya zoziziritsa, zomwe zimakhala ndi mawonekedwe ndi zokometsera zosiyanasiyana. Tangoganizirani Zakudya zoterera za tirigu zophikidwa mu msuzi wokoma wa sesame, wothira pang'ono wa adyo, viniga, ndi kukoma pang'ono. Pamwamba pa nkhaka zophikidwa bwino, nyemba zophukira, ndi anyezi a scallions, kuluma kulikonse kumakhala ndi kukoma kotsitsimula komwe kumakuziziritsani kuyambira mkati mpaka kunja. Chakudya ichi sichimangokhudza kukhutiritsa njala yokha; ndi chikhalidwe chomwe chimadutsa m'mibadwomibadwo, chikumbutso cha kufunika kosintha zakudya zathu kuti zigwirizane ndi nyengo yosintha.

Pitani kum'mwera, ndipo mupeza chakudya chosiyana koma chokongola cha Xiaoshu: makeke a mpunga opangidwa ndi osmanthus.
