What are the customs and eating customs of heavy snow solar terms?

The customs of solar terms in heavy snow include bacon and watching the river close. Heavy snow is a good opportunity for tonic, which is called "winter tonic, spring killing tiger". Dietary supplements in winter should provide digestible food rich in protein and vitamins.

There is a saying in old Nanjing called "light snow pickles, heavy snow pickles". Every household is busy pickling "salty goods" as soon as the solar term of heavy snow arrives. Add star anise, cinnamon, pepper, sugar, etc. Add salt and stir-fry until cooked. After the fried pepper and salt are completely cooled, they are coated on the inside and outside of fish, meat and poultry, and rubbed repeatedly until the color of the meat turns from fresh to dark and the surface oozes liquid. Then put the meat and the remaining salt in a jar, hold it down with stones and put it in a cool and backlit place.

Take it out after half a month, put the marinated marinade in a pot and add water to boil, skim off the floating foam, add the air-dried poultry meat, put it in the jar layer by layer, pour the brine, press it on a big stone, take it out ten days later, and hang it under the Chaoyang eaves to dry it to welcome the New Year.
