Early winter food supplements

After the beginning of winter, it means that this year's winter has officially arrived. The vegetation wither, the dormant insects sleep, and the activities of all things tend to stop. Although there is no such thing as hibernation among humans, there is a folk custom of starting winter to make up for winter.
Southern Hot Supplement
In southern my country, people like to eat some chicken, duck and fish at the beginning of winter. On the day of the beginning of winter in Taiwan, the streets of winter supplements restaurants such as "mutton stove" and "ginger mother duck" are filled with guests. Many families also stew sesame oil chicken and Siwu chicken to replenish energy.
Northern dumplings
In northern my country, especially in Beijing and Tianjin, people like to eat dumplings. Why eat dumplings at the beginning of winter? Because dumplings come from the saying "when Jiaozi was born". New Year's Eve is the turn of the old year and the New Year, and the beginning of winter is the turn of the autumn and winter seasons. Therefore, we have to eat dumplings when we are "paying" children. Nowadays, people have gradually restored this ancient custom. On the beginning of winter, all kinds of dumplings are selling well.

The custom at the beginning of winter here is to take tonic. Generally, we would stew chicken or duck in a pot. In the past, there were dog meat and cat meat. Now there are more chickens and ducks, and then the family eats them together. So today, although I didn't go home, I still brewed myself a small cup of chicken soup to drink!
