Why do northeast people like to eat food such as pot-stewed vegetables in winter?

I think people in the northeast like to eat stew, which is greatly influenced by the ambient temperature. As we all know, winter in Northeast China is called cold. If you have to use two words to describe it, it is thief cold! Moreover, the winter cycle in Northeast China is relatively long, which will last for about four or five months, so a family can sit around and eat a pot of hot stew, not only to warm up while eating. Moreover, Northeasters are not only generous and humorous, but also like to drink. We usually drink while chatting. They stewed several dishes at home as a snack for men to drink. Even if it is cold, it can be heated repeatedly and eaten immediately. Of course, you will also eat stir-fried dishes in the northeast, but you prefer this stew with hot soup in winter. For example, the most common thing in my family is stewed big bones with sauerkraut. When a bowl is served in cold weather, even vegetables and soup will never be noisy again. I believe this is one of the reasons why most people in Northeast China like to eat stew.
