It is said that this can steal a year of good luck, and the luck of peach blossom. If a young man likes a girl, he will go to her vegetable field and steal some vegetables from her house. In this way, the girl will know that a young man has fallen in love with her. The young man goes home and hands over a few green pea shoots to his mother, and tells her which family they are from, and the mother will also know who her son likes. The calm mother cooks a pot of fragrant plain noodles, lets her son eat it up, expecting her son to have long-lasting good luck, and the matchmaker to go to the girl's house for a smooth proposal.
