How to make pickled vegetables in Xiaoxue more delicious?

Festival folk customs:

Pickled meat

There is a saying in old Nanjing, which is "pickled vegetables in light snow, marinated meat in heavy snow". When the heavy snow comes, every household is busy making "salty goods". Add large salt, star anise, cinnamon, Sichuan peppercorns, white sugar, etc. into a pan and stir-fry until cooked. After the fried Sichuan peppercorns and salt are cool, apply them on the inside and outside of fish, meat and poultry, and rub them repeatedly until the color of the meat changes from fresh to dark, and liquid seeps out from the surface. When it comes out, put the meat and the remaining salt into the jar, press it with stones, and put it in a cool and backlit place. Take it out after half a month, put the marinated marinade into the pot, add water to boil, skim off the foam, and put it in the jar. Put the dried poultry meat in the vat, put it layer by layer in the vat, pour in salt brine, and press it with big stones. After ten days, take it out and hang it under the eaves of the sunny house to dry in the sun to welcome the New Year.

Watching the Fenghe River

"Light snow blocks the land, heavy snow blocks the river". The north has the natural landscape of "thousands of miles of ice and thousands of miles of snow drifting", and the south also has the charming charm of "flying snowflakes and silvery sky" picture. During the heavy snow season, the ice in the river is frozen, and people can skate and play as much as they want.

Tonic

Heavy snow is a good time to "tonic". It is known as "Tortifying in winter, killing tigers in spring". Winter supplements can improve the body's immune function, promote metabolism, and improve the symptoms of chills. Winter tonic can also regulate the material metabolism in the body, so that the energy converted from nutrients can be stored in the body to the maximum extent, which helps to increase the yang energy in the body. As the saying goes, "Three-nine tonics make one winter, and there will be no pain in the coming year." At this time, it is appropriate to warm the body to supplement yang, nourish kidneys and bones, nourish yin and replenish essence. Winter food supplements should provide foods rich in protein, vitamins and easy to digest. Before and after the heavy snow solar term, citrus fruits are on the market in large quantities, such as Nanfeng mandarins, Guanxi pomelo, navel oranges and snow oranges, which are all popular fruits. Eating some appropriately can prevent and treat rhinitis, eliminate phlegm and relieve cough. When there is heavy snow, the days are shorter and the nights are longer in various places in the northern hemisphere. Therefore, there are farmers' proverbs such as "heavy snow and light snow, cooking does not stop", which is used to describe that the days are so short that peasant women almost have to cook three meals in a row. You can often drink ginger and jujube soup to fight cold; eat oranges and use peppermint oil to prevent rhinitis, eliminate phlegm and relieve cough.
