Now, on the title of cornflowers, after building a new house in the mountain regions. When they finished building that house, they installed fireplaces in three or four places of the new house in mountain regions. Once, they have built a new house, and in that new house, young people took corn seeds and plants in the fireplace before the lit fire in that fireplace. After planting, the corn seedlings reached a height of about one hand span, It grew very bright and looked very much like a flower because it grew in a place where there was no sunlight and wind. When the corns sprout about one hand span long brightly, the young people picked out the corn sprouts called corn picking “Hkainu pan baw ai lam.” They tied seedlings into small bundles and made them beautiful with threads. They share at night because they worked during the day. So, at night, young people gather to pick and pluck cornflowers. They drank a small amount of fermented liquor. They made fellowship like that and had fun. And young friends who cannot participate in the program, made fellowship by sending bundles of corn sprouts called "Hkainu pan." And on the night of the corn seedlings harvest, they also made and ate pounds with ginger called "Shanam htu." In that pound with ginger called "Shanam htu," they put both young leaves of fig and wild gourd leaves called "Kasha lap." And then, as a ginger paste, add ginger and dried meat. Then they packed it with banana leaves into small packets. They shared food like that with each other and made fellowship. They did that kind of program. These things are usually done in the mountain regions and not in the lowland towns, and I have never heard of them doing this in the lowland towns. I'm telling about that only people in the mountain regions do, not in the lowland towns. Thank you.
