2, winter storage of vegetables custom:

October every year is the northeast of the peak season for the procurement of autumn vegetables, the northern masses tend to buy a large number of cabbages and turnips, etc., processed or stored directly for the winter family to eat vegetables needs. With the change of times, nowadays the folk custom of storing autumn vegetables is gradually changed by technology.

Expanded:

In fact, the custom of winter storage of vegetables in the Northeast has continued until today. In the Northeast individual farmers, still in front of the house behind the vegetable field dug out a rectangular cellar, the dry cabbage, with the soil of the radish one by one into, and then sealed and covered with felt. Every few days throughout the winter, they would be turned over and inspected, so that they would be ready to eat throughout the winter, and even into the spring planting season of the following year.

With technological advances, cellar storage bases have been set up in most towns and villages in the Northeast today, and most of the bases have changed from the old cellar storage to cold storage for vegetables and fruits, and are also eligible for government subsidy funds. "The government has adopted a widely modernized approach to storing green vegetables, which has led to a final change and end to this folk custom of storing autumn vegetables." Cao Baoming said.
