    1. It is best to use medium-sized pigeons for stewing pigeon soup. 2. Oysters should be gently rubbed with cooking wine and cornstarch to wash away grit and remove the fishy smell. 3. Ginkgo nuts can decompose into toxic hydrocyanic acid, and consuming large amounts can easily cause poisoning. It is advisable to consume no more than 10 nuts per person at a time. According to reports, there have been cases of children dying from poisoning after eating 5 to 10 nuts. Therefore, they must be handled with care. Also, do not eat too many at once to avoid poisoning.
