At the Beginning of Summer, Linhai people like to eat Maiyouzhi (a scroll-shaped cake). In addition, green plums cut into pieces, which are called "sharpen-eye-plums", are eaten with white sugar, giving a sweet and sour taste. Boiled eggs in tea are also eaten that day. It is said that the plums and the eggs may make one's sight better.
