1, Mutton: Old Nanjing loves to eat mutton in snowy days, which can dispel cold and nourish, replenish qi and tonify deficiency, promote blood circulation and enhance cold resistance. Mutton can also increase digestive enzymes and help digestion. Experts suggest that eating mutton in winter can be matched with yam and medlar, which is more nutritious.
2. Red sticky porridge: There is a folk saying in northern Shandong that "people only drink red sticky porridge when the door is right", which means that they will no longer visit their homes in cold weather and only drink warm sweet potato porridge at home. Porridge can replenish the spleen and stomach, moisten and nourish the lungs, and is an excellent choice for health preservation.
3, anti-sugar: "sugar customers, take your time, take a big class." Before and after the "heavy snow" solar term, there will be a scene of "changing sugar" on the streets of Wenzhou. Full-page caramel produced by caramel workshops all over the country is provided to small vendors who specialize in carrying burdens and walking around the streets, commonly known as "sugar customers", who beat sugar knives and shouted to sell sugar. Children are often attracted, so parents will exchange their copper scraps, copper coins and other items with "sugar customers" for caramel. Because eating caramel in winter has the benefits of nourishing the body, this "sugar exchange" has also developed into a commercial operation mode.
