Drink chicken soup, stew pork knuckle, and make soup. In Jiangsu area, there is a traditional custom of "one chicken for every nine days". Although the Great Cold solar term is around the 49th day of the lunar calendar, people in Nanjing still drink chicken soup. To cook chicken, you must use old chicken, and either stew it alone or add ginseng, mulberry, black fungus, etc. to stew together. Chicken soup is delicious and nourishing and is perfect for winter. However, the most Nanjing-specific dishes are pickled cabbage heads and stewed pork knuckle, which is a unique way of eating for Nanjing people. The vegetables pickled during the light snow are already fresh and delicious at this time; the pork knuckle has bones and meat, fat and lean, fat but not greasy, and rich in nutrition. Pickled vegetables and pig's trotters are a perfect combination of meat and vegetables. The meat is fragrant and the vegetables are fresh. It meets the requirements of scientific diet and is easy to make at home. During the twelfth lunar month, old people in Nanjing like to make soup for eating. The soups in the north tend to be dry, thick and heavy, those in the south tend to be light and delicate, and the soups in Nanjing take the best of both north and south flavors, being neither too thick or light, and not too salty or too sweet. One reason why people in Nanjing like to eat soup in winter is that the ingredients are simple. It can be simple or complex, expensive or cheap. Minced meat, tofu, yam, fungus, sweet potato, pickled mustard tuber, etc. can all be made into a pot of hot soup. Add some coriander and sprinkle some white pepper powder, and you will feel warm all over after eating it.
Eating glutinous rice In many areas of southern my country, there is a custom of eating glutinous rice during the Great Cold. Although this custom sounds simple, it contains the life experience accumulated by our ancestors in their lives. Because the weather is very cold during the Great Cold, glutinous rice is a very high-calorie food and has excellent cold-keeping effects.
Steamed La Rice Tianjin people steam La Rice during the coldest time of the twelfth lunar month. The so-called steamed wax rice means that during the Great Cold season, every household will take out some high-quality rice, wash it, steam it thoroughly, then spread it on a reed mat, wait for it to cool completely, dry it, and store it in a clean porcelain jar. It will not go bad even after decades. Eating this kind of rice in summer can prevent diarrhea; the elderly or the weak and sick can cook it with steamed rice. Good for the spleen and stomach.
