Crocodile soup cooked delicious snakehead fish. My house is in the suburbs of Da Nang, in recent years, the rows of crocodiles planted on the streets of Le Dai Hanh, Nguyen Phuoc Tan… have been almost “old” by the workers of the Urban Environment Company. Da Nang city planted a few decades ago has flowered and produced results. Crocodile does not give as many fruits as the northern localities, but the taste of “heritage” crocodile in Da Nang is not inferior to other localities. Crocodile fruit when still green is used to cook sour soup, soaked in drinking water… Ripe fruit is used to make crocodile apricot umbrella, pickled crocodile, vinegar sauce… The most impressive thing is the crocodile soup cooked with fish and fruit. (Tel fish, snakehead fish…). Cooking method is as follows: Fish and fruits are made and washed, drained, then marinated with seasoning powder, pepper powder, chopped red onion, paprika for aroma. After 10 minutes for the spices to infuse into the fish meat, then put the casserole on the stove, fry the cooking oil with garlic until fragrant, put the marinated fish in it for aroma. When the fish is almost cooked, add boiling water to continue cooking. When the fish is cooked, add the crocodile (cleaned and smashed) and pineapple (pineapple, pineapple), tomatoes, sour bamboo shoots… in. After the soup boils again for a few minutes, then remind and re-season to taste. Ladle the soup into a bowl and sprinkle more scallions, chopped cilantro into the bowl of soup to make it fragrant. Looking at the bowl of crocodile soup cooked with fish and fruit with the ivory white color of fish meat, the green color of the crocodile, the yellow color of the pineapple, the red color of the tomato and the moss green color of the spices, it looks very eye-catching. This bowl of crocodile soup is extremely fragrant, delicious and nutritious with the sweetness of fish mixed with the sour and sour taste, the bar, the aroma is very attractive for a meal on hot summer days. When enjoying this soup, we “have to drink it at the same time” and often jokingly say that it is a “inter-regional” sour soup. It’s really: “Crocodile sour soup, cooked calamari/He ate a bowl of all his sorrows and sorrows immediately” or “Spring with crocodiles to call summer / Cooking snakehead fish soup to eat immediately”… Crocodile sour soup cooked with fish fruit is a special “chorus” because crocodile fruit originates in the North (Hanoi), fish is most abundant in the South (Central, Southern). In the middle of summer, enjoying this soup with this “interference” flavor, we remember the “Southern onion” ancestor of a time.

According to the folk tradition of our people, the altar is a sacred place to worship ancestors in the house. When placing the altar you absolutely need to avoid including under the rafters, under the stairs or the toilet. You should also not place the altar opposite the toilet or the kitchen because the air is very strong, not good for the place of worship, which can easily affect fortune and health. In addition, the altar wall should not be attached to the kitchen or toilet, above the pipes or drains. At the same time, you should also avoid placing the altar in places where there is a strong wind passing by because it will affect the sacred place. The worship area always needs quiet The place to place the altar you should put away from all kinds of audio equipment such as speakers, radio, TV … or musical instruments such as piano, trumpet, drums … because they will affect the spiritual place of your home. At the same time, because the heat of incense bowls and worshiping items is also incompatible with fans and air conditioners, placing them close together will not be good for electronic devices. If you commit this, it will cause turmoil in the family, not getting along, unstable health, especially the man in the family. Do not place the altar near the toilet Do not place in a dark place The altar is a place that needs quiet and separation. However, on the altar, it is always necessary to maintain enough light for the homeowner to easily observe, and at the same time, create a solemn and solemn atmosphere for the place of worship. When choosing yellow light is the right choice for most living rooms today. In addition, homeowners should avoid overusing decorative flashing lights because they are not good for the water room, which can easily affect the Buddha gods who are always on the higher throne than their ancestors. Besides, when placing the altar of God Buddha and the altar of ancestors, it is better to place them apart or make two separate altars. The reason is that Gods and Buddhas are often vegetarians, while their ancestors can eat salty foods. When you offer food, you should also separate these two altars. Do not place the altar lower than a person’s head The altar must be higher than a person’s head One of the principles when designing the altar is that you should set the height of the altar to be higher than the head to pay respect to the gods and ancestors in the house. When you place the altar lower than eye level, every time you burn incense or pray, the owner has to look down, which will cause difficulties. At the same time, this is a very serious taboo in Asian spiritual culture when the superior is lower than the lower.

The Russian army has put into service T-14 Armata tanks since 2014. This will be the main battle tank (MBT) of the new generation of Russia, which is promised to be produced in large numbers. The amount of T-14 built is still negligible, but the T-14 is still much more successful than the T-95. Russia had ambitions to design a new tank that outperformed all of the most capable Western tanks, as well as any previous Soviet tanks, but the T-95 program was unable to outdo it. from the test phase. The origin of the T-95 main tank actually dates back to the Soviet era, when Moscow attempted to find a new main battle tank to replace the aging Soviet armored fleet. Those efforts continued as the Russian military inherited the majority of Soviet tank storage, including the main T-80 tanks produced by the Omsktransmash factory and the T-72 tanks built by Uralvagonzavod. . Russia continued to produce the T-90, at which time the T-90 was considered the main battle tank of Russia before a more modern tank could be produced. And the two tank factories are racing to develop a new type of MBT. The Omsktransmash factory started with a Black Eagle tank, which was essentially born from the T-80 but had a multi-chamber design. However, the performance of the T-80 in the First Chechen War was very lackluster. The Moscow government lost faith in the Black Eagle tank program and with the lack of funding the Black Eagle tank program was canceled in 2001, after which the Omsktransmash company quickly went bankrupt. While the Black Eagle is not impressive, the Uralvagonzavod plant is still working on the MBT in the Object 195 program. First reported in 1995, it was not officially recognized by the Russian military until 2000. The goal of the T-95 program is to create a tank equipped with more powerful weapons, including a 152mm main gun that can fire conventional ammunition as well as guided missiles, while providing better protection for The crew of three people, which includes a commander, gunner and driver. The tank is designed with the concept of a remote unmanned turret, equipped with an automatic loader for the main gun. In addition, the tank also has a panoramic periscope with thermal cameras, allowing the commander to scan the targets and then assign aiming and firing to the gunner. In terms of size, the T-95 is said to be larger than previous MBTs, and is similar in size and weight to Western tanks such as the British Challenger 2, Germany’s Leopard 2A7 and America’s M1A2 Abrams. . Especially the remote control turret design and the heavy gun are features found in the T-14 Armata, so it is clear that the T-95 is ahead of its time. However, only a handful of T-95 prototypes were built, by 2011 the program was halted and Russia switched to the production of the main Armata tank. The T-95 may be an early proof of concept for the T-14 Armata with its unmanned turret and crew compartment hull. However, it is likely that the 152mm cannon is overkill as the T-14 is still equipped with the traditional 125mm cannon. The question now is whether the T-14 will actually get past the T-95, but at least look at the T-14 now through its prototype stage and that’s what the T-14 does. than the Black Eagle or T-95 tank.

Ancient corona virus illustration, 25,000 years ago. The current COVID-19 pandemic has claimed the lives of more than 3 million people and shows how vulnerable people are to the genetically modified corona virus. However, this threat seems to have occurred since the early days when humans had to fight these dangerous viruses. “There are always viruses that infect humans,” said senior study author David Enard, associate professor of ecology and evolution at the University of Arizona, USA. Viruses are actually one of the main drivers of natural selection in the human genome. That’s because genes that increase the chances of the pathogen’s survival are more likely to be passed on to new generations. ” Using modern tools, researchers can detect traces of these ancient pathogens by precisely identifying how they promote natural selection in today’s human DNA. Accordingly, this information can provide valuable insight to help predict future pandemics. Enard said: “Almost always is when things that happened in the past are more likely to happen in the future.” Using information available in public databases, Enard and his team analyzed the genomes of 2,504 people across 26 different human populations around the world. When corona viruses get inside human cells, they attack the cell’s machinery to replicate. This means that the viral success depends on its interaction with hundreds of different human proteins. Researchers magnified a set of 420 human proteins known to interact with the corona virus, 332 of which interact with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Most of these proteins help viruses multiply inside cells, but some help cells fight viruses. The genes that encode those proteins mutate continuously and randomly, but if the mutation gives the gene an advantage, such as a better resistance to the virus – then the gene has a chance to be passed on. next or selected higher. Indeed, the researchers found that, in people of East Asian descent, certain genes interacting with the corona virus were selected. In other words, over time certain variations show up more often than expected. This set of mutations may have helped the ancestors of the human population in this region become more ancient antiviral by altering the amount of protein produced by the cell. The genetic variations encoding 42 of the 420 proteins they analyzed began to increase in frequency about 25,000 years ago, the researchers found. The spread of beneficial variants continued until about 5,000 years ago. This suggests that the ancient virus continued to threaten these populations for a long time. Viruses cause pressure to adapt “Viruses exert some of the strongest selective pressures on humans to adapt, and corona viruses have probably been around since,” said Joel Wertheim, associate professor at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of California, San Diego. long before man existed. However, it is difficult to say whether the virus that caused this evolution is the corona virus, but it seems to be a plausible theory. David Enard agrees that the ancient pathogen that harmed our ancestors may not have been the corona virus; instead, it is possible that another virus that has happened to interact with human cells in the same way that corona viruses do. Another group of researchers recently discovered that sarbecovirus, a family of the corona virus that includes SARS-CoV-2, first evolved 23,500 years ago, at the same time as variations in the genes that encode the proteins related to the corona virus have appeared for the first time in humans. Findings of the sarbecovirus virus were also published in bioRxiv on February 9 and have yet to be peer reviewed. While these findings are compelling, they do not change our understanding of which populations are more likely to survive SARS-CoV-2 infection. Although, there is no evidence that adaptation of this ancient gene protects modern humans from SARS-CoV-2. Enard and his team now hope to work with virologists to understand how this adaptation helped ancient humans survive exposure to this protozoan strain of the corona virus. The team also hopes that such ancient genomic studies could eventually be used as an “early warning system” for future pandemics. David Enard adds, although we clearly see the impact of this ancient virus on human ancestors, future generations will not be able to see traces of SARS-CoV-2 in the genome. our. Thanks to vaccination, there is no time for the virus to promote evolutionary adaptation.

Family members perform the fire dance to pray for good luck and goodness. Each ethnic group has its own unique and distinctive customs and practices creating the richness and diversity of cultures of the ethnic groups in the area. The fire dancing custom of the Red Dao people at the beginning of the year is one of those characteristics … To reschedule up… The fire dancing custom of the Luc Yen Red Dao (Yen Bai) is usually only held on a small scale in the household. Households that practice fire dancing will be passed on from generation to generation. This activity is held every 3 years with the aim of banishing bad luck, praying for family members to have health, a good crop, good life, and a full life. To see firsthand the custom of fire dancing, we went to Khai Trung commune, Luc Yen district on the 4th day of the Tan Suu Lunar New Year. This is a locality where over 90% are the Red Dao people. Thuy Dieu slope winding along a misty mountain slope leads us to this upland commune. Passing the slope a large, flat green plain surrounded by limestone mountains appeared before your eyes. In that green plains is the life of nearly 1,500 Red Dao people. Mixed life of the people is the green color of the mountains, the white of the plum blossoms, the plum blossoms, the red color of cherry blossoms … All combined with the shimmering colors on the dresses of the Dao girls who are bustling in springtime create a poetic spring scene here. The fields, upland fields are also gradually “put on themselves” a lush green with spring sky and earth. “Over the past years, along with focusing on implementing economic development programs and improving the lives of people, the Party Committee and Khai Trung commune authorities have also paid special attention to propaganda and mobilization of people to preserve and upholding customs and practices with many traditional cultural values, prominent such as the restoration and maintenance of the seasonal festival, fire dancing customs of the Red Dao people ”- Mr. Hoang Van Cau, Chairman Khai Trung commune People’s Committee said. Rooster is an indispensable mascot in the fire dance ceremony. “Dance” in the coals for good luck Mr. Trieu Tai Quan’s family is one of the few families in the commune that still maintain the custom of jumping fire. This custom is like a “karma” that only in Mr. Quan’s family can carry out from generation to generation. Every three years, Mr. Quan’s family holds a fire jump on the occasion of the New Year. Before the fire dance festival, his family prepared a tray to worship and ask for permission from the ancestors, the gods about the organization of the fire jump. Mr. Phung Thua Hoc – The priest at the fire dance ceremony shared: To prepare for the fire dance ceremony, the host family must invite the priest and prepare the participants to dance about a week earlier, according to the previous regulations. The boys chosen to participate in the fire dance must keep their bodies clean, do not kill, and do not engage in boy and girl affairs for at least 3 days. However, today these regulations are no longer mandatory and strict, just before joining the fire jump the boys wash and wear clean clothes. When it was dusk, a large fire was prepared in the middle of the house, when the fire was almost gone, only bright red coals were the sound of gongs that started the ceremony. In the pounding sound of gongs, 2 priests began to pray for permission of ancestors and gods and read the names of those who participated in the fire. At this time, the participants of the fire dance sit on a bench next to the offering tray and wait to do the “spell” of mindfulness. Listening to the rush of gongs, participants enter the fire as if they are empowered, their bravery will vibrate, shout a sound and jump into the embers with bare feet. They even used their bare hands to throw hot coals into the air and began to “bathe” the fire. Participants will take turns jumping and charring until the fire is over. After participating in the festival, the firefighter’s costumes were only dust, dirty, not scorched, nor were their limbs burned. When the fire dance is over, the two shamans continue to do some rituals to finish. Mr. Phung Van Doanh, a fire-jumping participant, said: The first time joining the fire dance, looking at the red coal was also very apprehensive, only afraid of being burned, but when he was “allowed” by the priest, he was like receiving. More strength, somehow unable to sit still, just rushed into the fire. Having participated a lot, but I have never suffered burns even if I was small. The fire dance practice is practiced by many ethnic minorities, becoming a unique cultural ritual that has existed for a long time. In each community, there is a different way, scale and time to organize but all have the same origin from the worship of fire god, a symbol of life, prosperity, happiness and indispensable in life. human life. At the same time, it is an opportunity for people to give thanks to their ancestors and wish for a good crop and a full life.

Bee tea is considered as a dish close to the Hanoians. The soft, sweet, honey-colored tea with the warm and fragrant spicy flavor of old ginger always makes people enjoy a feeling of passion to surprise. If you like to eat bee tea, you can refer to how to cook bee tea of ​​Tran Ly (Hanoi) below: Resources To make 2 dishes of tea, about 300g of glutinous rice should be used, so it is recommended to use sticky rice with high plasticity (sticky rice with yellow flowers). 50-60g molasses brown sugar. Some white sesame seeds. 7g fresh ginger. Making The rice is blooming, soft and juicy, but not crushed, it is sweet, sometimes ginger flavor, especially without the rice. Soak and wash rice the way we normally soak sticky rice. Rice after being washed clean, stirred with a little salt and then cooked sticky rice. Eat twice to make the sticky rice seeds bloom and plump for a long time. That will yield about 500g of sticky rice after serving. Divide the amount of sticky rice in half because 1 dish of bee tea will use 250g of sticky rice (should make each dish). Simmer 50-60g molasses sugar with 50g water to dissolve completely. When the sugar is melted, add 7g of freshly shaved peeled ginger and continue to boil. Use sugar from molasses is best because it is fragrant and beautiful in color. Put sticky rice in the ginger sugar mixture, quickly use chopsticks to spread the sticky rice and soak it evenly. Increase the heat a little and stir continuously until the sugar water is drained into the sticky rice seeds and the sticky rice seeds are slightly tightened. Quickly empty the plate. Do the same with the rest of the sticky rice. That’s it for the divine bee tea. Don’t forget to sprinkle the fragrant roasted white sesame seeds! Wish you all success with bee tea!

The extinct prehistoric mammoth was believed to be prehistoric human prey. A controversial new study found that the first humans were large predators who took down prey with skilled hunting skills. In a new research paper, the scientists argue that humans and close relatives have been adept hunters from a very early age, starting at least 2 million years ago. Miki Ben-Dor and Ran Barkai, researchers at Tel Aviv University in Israel, and Raphael Sirtoli, a PhD student at Minho University in Portugal. “Until now, efforts to recreate the Stone Age human diet have been based mainly on comparison with 20th century hunter-gatherer societies,” says Ben-Dor. Of course, this comparison is lame, because 2 million years ago, hunter-gatherer societies could hunt and consume elephants and other large animals, while hunter-gatherers today. It can’t be like that. The whole ecosystem has changed, and the conditions cannot be compared. ” Scary evidence Fossil evidence from earliest human ancestors is scarce. But based on archaeological evidence, Ben-Dor said, it was clear that Homo sapiens and their close relatives ate anything that was edible. But how much of their diet consists of plants versus animals is the bottom line. Many animals that are considered omnivores actually have the diet in one way or another. Chimpanzees, for example, are technically omnivores, but meat makes up only about 6% of their diet. Dogs and wolves are predominantly carnivorous but sometimes also nibble on grain, leading to a debate over whether they should be classified as omnivores or predators. According to Ben-Dor, ancient humans Homo habilis ate meat at least 2.6 million years ago. Another primitive human species, Homo erectus, appeared to be an avid carnivore 1.8 million years ago; Their teeth and intestines shrank compared to their previous ancestors, adapted to digest meat instead of plants, and it used stone tools capable of grinding meat. Ben-Dor and Barkai argue in their paper, published in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology, that meat is not just a reward for these humans and the early Homo sapiens. Instead, the authors believe, large animals weighing more than 1,000 kg, such as elephants, hippos and rhinos … make up the bulk of the human diet. The elephants 500,000 years ago could weigh 12 tons, compared with 4 to 6 tons today. Eat a lot of meat, human brain evolution? According to the researchers, these animals can eat fatty meat, which is very suitable to feed the energy-hungry human brain. The authors argued in another recent article that hunting large prey could be the driving force behind human brain evolution. However, the idea is controversial, and researchers disagree on how huge amounts of meat would be useful to hunter-gatherers in the days before refrigeration, as well as about ancient humans skilled in taking down prey that other predators like lions, struggled to defeat. “There are some archaeologists who say, they hunted elephants once, but it’s like a once in a lifetime hunt; that’s what grandparents often tell their children,” John said. “There are people who say that elephant meat can last a long time without preserving, but it’s part of their routine,” said Hawks, a paleontologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. important to them. ‘” Ben-Dor and his colleagues wrote in their article that eating large, fatty animals would be a benefit to humankind at the earliest, because losing so many calories on a hunting trip – instead of repeatedly trying to stalk smaller prey. Humans exhibit this high-fat adaptation, researchers say. Archeologically speaking, it was difficult to classify humans and their relatives as carnivores before about 50,000 years ago. That’s because the only reliable biochemical way to distinguish an animal as the top predator or lower in the food chain is a method known as stable nitrogen isotope analysis, requires collagen testing for molecules that are taken orally into the body. Despite the limited evidence of humankind’s early evolution, the researchers say, much remains to be done to prove whether the human ancestor was indeed carnivores. This could include more research on the abundance of animals of different sizes during the Pleistocene, exploring genetic changes over time that could alter the digestibility of species. Different human feeds and comparison of prey size trends over time.

Feng shui researcher Nguyen Xuan Cuong shares some notes when setting up the altar that families can refer to. Do not move the incense bowl to the wrong position At the end of the year, all families clean the altar to celebrate Tet. According to feng shui, should not arbitrarily move the incense bowl. If the bowl of incense is moved in a bad direction, it can even cause bad luck for the homeowner. The days bordering on the Lunar New Year are the occasion when people clean the altar and prepare to welcome the new year. Photo: Pham Thang. It should be noted, after taking out the incense, we should not hold the incense bowl to pour out the ashes. Because according to the concept of the ancients, this approach is very easy to spread talent and gossip. We should use a small spoon, scoop each spoonful of the incense to spill out. When cleaning, families should use a new towel, wipe from high to low. Wiping water is alcohol with crushed ginger branch. Fruit tray presentation The tray is an indispensable thing on the altar in every family during Tet. Around December 28 and 29, after cleaning the ancestral worship place, families began to set up a beautifully decorated five-fruit tray to place on the altar. Depending on the region, you will choose different fruits, the North usually includes bananas, oranges, Buddhas, grapefruit, peaches, persimmons, peppers … Each type represents a wish of the owner, ensuring the white color, Blue, yellow, black, pink. For the Northern people, the green banana bunch placed at the bottom represents the descendants who gather, gather, surround and protect each other. However, this type of fruit never appeared in the Southern fruit tray. They believe that bananas are associated with business failure. The conception comes from the pronunciation of the banana in the southern voice as “chewing”, which is close to “chewing”, just doing business is difficult. Many families choose to display the five-fruit tray according to feng shui with the concept of welcoming more fortune in the new year. Photo: Viet Linh. Southerners often prepare 5 kinds of fruits, namely custard apple, fig, coconut, papaya, and mango with the concept of “demand for fig, just enough to use”. Oranges and tangerines are associated with the concept of “tangerine do resignation”, which means a lot of work and hardship, so they are not displayed on Tet. Meanwhile, the Central people have an important respect to their ancestors and have almost no taboo on any kind of fruit, even in terms of flavor, color and name in the five-fruit tray. The fruit tray usually includes dragon fruit, watermelon, mango, grapefruit, grape, pineapple, apple, orange, pear, custard apple … The layout is simple, not too fussy, thereby showing some personality. the sincerity of the people here. Do not put fake flowers and fruit on the altar Many families often have the habit of displaying fake flowers on the altar because they both save money and do not have to change water. However, expert Nguyen Xuan Cuong said that plastic flowers or flashing electric lights should not be displayed on the altar. When descendants display real fruit, they will show their respect and respect to their ancestors. Fresh flowers and fruits should be used to display on the altar during Tet. Photo: Viet Linh. In addition, we should use fresh flowers to display on the altar, choose types with beautiful names, pleasant aroma. Fresh flowers should be used such as lily, yellow chrysanthemum, apricot blossom, peach blossom that is both beautiful, long-lasting, bringing the Tet atmosphere. According to traditional beliefs, some types of flowers should not be placed on the altar of Tet, such as lilies, orchids, and lilies. Also according to Professor Nguyen Xuan Cuong, in order to show respect to ancestors, homeowners are not allowed to bring wild flowers growing along the road to display on the altar.

Tiet Thanh Minh arrives 60 days after Lap Spring, 105 days after the Winter solstice day. The first day of this period is called Tet Thanh Minh. Thanh Minh Tet in 2019 falls on the 5th of April of the solar calendar (1/3 of the lunar calendar). Vietnamese people often worship Tet Thanh Minh at the family and ancestors’ grave, so it is necessary to prepare 2 ceremonies. Thanh Minh worshiping ceremony at the tomb Depending on the family, the Thanh Minh Tet ceremony at the ancestor’s grave can be a vegetarian or salty ceremony. The offerings include: incense, lamp, tea, fruit, wine, clear water, betel nut and gold coins. Vegetarian tray includes: Sticky rice, banana cake, fruit cake, water bottle, salted rice, burns, butter, honey cup. The salty tray in addition to the above has added meat wine, sausage, boiled chicken or braised pork rolls. If there are many incense bowls, each bowl must be lit, while the offerings placed on the table can be shared. When going to graves, the main job is to repair the tombs to be clean, re-fill the tombs for fullness, remove weeds and wild trees overgrown the tomb, then put the offerings to Tet Thanh Minh. Finished offering, waiting for the incense to burn about 2/3, then the ceremony to give thanks, turn gold and ask for fortune to go home to celebrate the family and ancestors at home. If it is written down on paper, then after reading it, it will also bring goods. When going to the gravesite, pay attention to walking gently, carefully, do not mess up and swirl rubble soil to avoid affecting the surrounding environment and landscape. Do not step on another’s tomb or kick offerings on someone else’s tomb. If there are young children, pay attention to the careful supervision of them. tet Thanh Minh New Year worshiping ceremony at home The offering at home does not require too fussy, depending on the conditions of each family or local customs and habits to prepare. You can make a tray to worship Thanh Minh Tet with a full range of savory dishes such as sticky rice, boiled chicken, sausages, bamboo shoots soup, vermicelli, adding a stir-fried plate … and some other offerings such as fruit, fresh flowers, betel nut, votive … Buddhist families prepare vegetarian offerings. Some families do not cook Tet Thanh Minh offerings, only burn incense with fresh flowers and fruits, tea, candies … to pay tribute to ancestors. Before worshiping, it is necessary to clean the house to be tidy and clean, to clean the ancestral altar. The worshiper must wear clean, neat clothes and put on incense, bow to the ancestors and read vows. When a week of incense burns out, the family can turn gold and ask for the enjoyment of the fortune.

Ms. Duyen (Nam Tu Liem, Hanoi) said she started to sell five-color floating batter on the internet market a week ago, with a very affordable price, 50,000 VND / set. Although the product is cheap, but because many customers prefer to order, she still has great profit. Five-color floating cakes are sold on the internet market. (Screenshots) According to Duyen, her five-color floating cake flour is milled from standard yellow flower sticky rice. In particular, the color of the powder is mixed with natural colors from food, safe for users. For example, green powder mixed from sticky leaves, mixed red from the color of Gac fruit. Purple powder color is mixed from the color of the leaves. The yellow powder color is mixed with the color of turmeric, while the white color is the original sticky rice. Sticky rice flour set with sugar, sesame, coconut. (Photo: Facebook) Each clay cake dough clay will include 1kg of 5-color flour, sugar, coconut and sesame. Buyers can store in the freezer. When making a cake, just thaw it. Ms. Ngoc (Ha Dong, Hanoi) shares: “ This year, many people sell a set of five-color floating cake dough with all colors and ingredients to make the cake float quite convenient. Instead of buying white driftwood dough, I ordered two sets of five colored driftwood dough. One set to do business today, the other set to store the freezer in order to arrive on the correct Korean New Year to make dishes to burn ancestors’ incense. “. Five-color floating cake flour costs 50,000 – 55,000 VND / set. (Photo: Facebook) The five-color floating cake dough is not only convenient, eye-catching, but the price is also reasonable, so it is very attractive. Ms. Linh (Thanh Xuan, Hanoi) revealed that in recent days, there were many orders of five-color floating cake dough. Many customers order to make cakes from now on, some customers also pre-order until the 3rd March of the Lunar New Year to deliver. The eye-catching five-color floating plate. (Photo: Facebook) Due to the sudden increase in guests, Ms. Linh plans to hire more women from next week to meet the needs of customers in the days close to the real Korean New Year.

However, there are also royal descendants who get caught up in the realization difficult. They struggled to make a living with jobs from taxi drivers to apartment cleaning. Many people are concerned about the “burden” of titles and titles, but there are also lineages that have been completely forgotten after many centuries. Palace for rent Maharaja Padmanabh Singh (born 1998) is the 303th descendant of the royal family in Jaipur (India). Currently India does not recognize the royal title, but the old royal family in this country is still respected by the people. Although not in real power, Padmanabh Singh is still commonly known as “king”. According to the Business Insider Padmanabh Singh can hold hundreds of millions of dollars. The Jaipur family is known for their huge wealth, estimated from $ 696.7 million to $ 2.8 billion. Maharaja Padmanabh Singh has rented out City Palace since 2019. Photo: Instagram NV. In 2019, Padmanabh Singh decided to rent out a room in the family’s City Palace on Airbnb for nearly $ 8,000 / night. City Palace (Jaipur, India) is the royal palace built in 1727 by Jai Singh II, the head of the royal family in Jaipur city, Rajasthan (India). Previously, this palace only welcomed the royal family and special guests such as the late Princess Diana, former US President Bill Clinton, MC Oprah Winfrey … “I am honored that my family is working with Airbnb to showcase the magnificence of Rajasthan to visitors. I hope I can share the hospitality of the Indian people with everyone,” said Padmanabh Singh. Padmanabh Singh is also known as a model since 2018. He appeared on the covers of many famous fashion magazines and was the first royal descendant to participate in the Dolce & Gabbana show in Milan. year 2018. Taxi driver, apartment cleaning Tengku Indra (67 years old) is one of the Singaporeans who also has a name containing the honorific Tengku, meaning prince or princess in Malay. He is descended from the 19th century king – Sultan Hussein Shah – who ceded control of the lion island nation to the British. Royal descendants of Singapore are praying beside their ancestors’ tombstones. Photo: Reuters. Today, not many people even know the existence of the sultan lineage. Until the beginning of this century, some descendants still lived in the palace left by their ancestors. However, they soon moved away when the Singapore government turned the palace into a museum. “It doesn’t matter if you are a descendant of the royal family, but you have to live your life based on talent and virtue instead of enjoying an ancestral title,” Indra said. Tengku Faizal (43) said that after leaving the palace in 1999, he took a job cleaning in an apartment and was teased as “the prince of garbage disposal”. Currently, he works as a taxi driver and struggles to make a living, despite receiving financial support to cover the cost of caring for his daughter.

The Kalmyk mainly eat beef and lamb. They have a very unique way of cooking meat called khorkhog. Men will cut the flesh into pieces, leaving the bones intact. Then they put the meat in a tin or aluminum jar with vegetables, hot water and ice. While they rode on the grasslands all day, the stones would boil pieces of meat. So they had a plate of casserole when they stopped for lunch. Before the long trip or the coming winter, people prepare kyur dried meat again. They skillfully slaughter a cow or a sheep so that the whole meat of the animal fits its whole heart. The cook will dig a hole, fill it with coal, wood or dry manure, and burn it to ash. While the ash in the pit is still hot, the heart will be lowered and covered with ash. The men will fill the hole with earth and continue to light the fire above. The result is a piece of dried meat that is both soft and flavorful. Life on horseback has taught the Kalmyk not to give up any part of the animal. They especially value sheep and beef offal. The dotur soup that every family eats is made from sheep’s heart cooked with onions and a variety of herbs. Another favorite dish of shepherds and shepherds is semjer orasn elkn.

To save time, I ordered batter online. There are many places selling flour, I just need to walk around social networks for a while to find a shop 800 meters from home.

I put the ingredients on the dishes. Five-color powder is made from natural ingredients: mint leaves, gac intestines, cocoa, matcha … do not contain color products, so I am quite reassured. Baking ingredients are not too expensive, I only spend 150,000 VND for a full part like this.

My son is going to school. Husband goes to work. Today I am at home baking alone. I invited my neighbor’s sister to cook the cake. We happily told each other memories of our eager childhoods to cook cakes with our parents on real Korean New Year.

I lived away from my family since I was young, so on holidays, Tet like this, I miss my parents very much.

Every year I do not make cakes because I see few people and do not want to provoke. But this year my son is 2 years old, he loves floating cakes, especially the colorful five-color cake. In the afternoon of my son, I want to make cakes for him to eat on this day to give the family more atmosphere.

After finishing the cake, I prepare to cook the water to boil.

Wait for the water to boil, I drop each cake in and use the chopsticks to gently stir the water to make the cake evenly cooked.

I continue to boil it so that the cake is cooked evenly, just fine to avoid the cake being crushed and the sugar inside has not melted yet.

When the cake floats, I wait for another 30 seconds, and when it’s just cooked, I take it out.

Here are my results. I have prepared plates of cute cats, avocados … for boys to enjoy more.

Wait for the cake to cool down, I sprinkle more sesame on the surface for decoration.

I put the cake on the altar to worship the family. Add a week of incense, I sincerely pray. I hope that my son will eat well, grow up quickly, and my wife and I work smoothly, and the family is healthy and safe.

I also do not forget to take pictures with colorful cake plates to send to my parents in my hometown and keep as souvenirs. This afternoon, when he picked up his son from school, he would be very happy because he had five-color cakes to eat. Thinking of the eager faces of my son and husband, I felt extremely happy.
