3, tonic. In early winter, heating is the main way. On this day, chickens, ducks, pigeons, ducks and mutton in the market were robbed early. The tonic formulas of each family are determined by the chefs according to their own needs, such as ginseng black chicken soup, longan American ginseng chicken soup, Nanjiang lamb chop soup, antler Korean soup, red ginseng pigeon soup and so on.
