Old Nanjing loves to eat mutton in snowy days, which can dispel cold and nourish, replenish qi and deficiency, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, 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. In some places in the north, it is already quite cold at this time. For example, there is a saying in Baotou that "light snow kills pigs and heavy snow kills sheep". When the snow season comes, it is time to kill pigs and prepare for the new year's goods. At this time, no matter who slaughters livestock, relatives and friends will come to help, and the host will prepare dining tables and side dishes. Therefore, the light snow season is a time for family and friends to catch up and contact their feelings.
