Warm Laba Porridge, Nourishing the Stomach and Heart

2026.01.30

Today is Laba Festival. Before 6 a.m., as dawn broke, a long table was set up near the elevator on the first floor of the Mingshi cafeteria. Pots, bowls, and utensils were neatly arranged, with several large buckets of Laba porridge steaming and exuding a sweet aroma. "Free Laba porridge for everyone!" The cafeteria staff cheerfully called out, handing each employee who stopped by a warm blessing with a smile—"Drink the Laba porridge to warm your stomach and your heart."

In each bowl, ingredients like glutinous rice, red dates, longan, and red beans were simmered to a soft, harmonious blend. Every spoonful paid homage to the festival and embodied the hard work of the cafeteria staff, who had risen in the middle of the night to prepare it with care. One employee beamed with joy as they accepted the porridge, saying, "Thank you!" Many employees coming off night shifts also made a special trip to enjoy a bowl of hot porridge, dispelling the night's chill and soaking in the unique warmth of the Mingshi family amidst the rising steam.
