Why do people store Chinese cabbage and green onions in winter?

1. It is a traditional habit for people to store Chinese cabbage and green onions in winter.

2. In the past, it was very cold in winter in the north, and only three seasons could be planted in a year (from the end of March to 165438+ 10, with a total period of ***7-8 months). Chinese cabbage and green onions are richer than other vegetables and more suitable for storage.

3. Chinese cabbage is harvested and stored before winter, which is convenient and low in price. Cabbage stored in winter is much more expensive; There are many ways to eat Chinese cabbage, such as pickles, sauerkraut, mustard tuber, stir-fried, cold salad, jiaozi and stewed wonton. Green onion is one of the main seasonings for northerners to cook, and it can also be used as a side dish with dipping sauce and burritos. .

In the past, northerners lived in bungalows, and dug vegetable pits in the yard to store Chinese cabbage and green onions to prevent them from drying up and the green onions from being empty.

There are fewer and fewer people living in bungalows now. There is no place to put buildings, and the climate is getting warmer. Vegetables are difficult to store and perishable. So fewer people buy, and less quantity is bought. Some people are purely out of habit.
