Customers rush to supermarkets to buy fried beans, a traditional snack in Shandong Province, for the special “Er Yue Er” day Sunday. The second day of the second Chinese lunar month is said to be the time for “the dragon to raise its head.” Eating fried beans on the day has been a tradition in the province for thousands of years. Locals believe it can bring a good harvest.
