What's the best thing to eat in shocking weather?

There is a folk custom of "eating pears in surprise". There is no trace of when pears were eaten, but there is such a story circulating among the people in Qixian County. According to legend, Qu Ji, a well-known Shanxi merchant at sea, is the eldest son of Shangdang County. In the early years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, he took his two sons, Xin and Yi, and traded the Party's pears for coarse cloth and red dates in Qixian for profit. Over time, he had savings and settled down in Qixian County. During the Yongzheng period, the Fourteenth Canal reached the west exit, which was the day of surprise attack. His father took out pears for him to eat. He said that his ancestors sold pears to start a business and settled in Qixian after hardships. Today, you went to the west exit in surprise. Eating pears is to make you not forget your ancestors, work hard to start a business and honor your ancestors. Qu Baichuan went west to become rich in business and named the shop name "Changyuan Hou". Later, westerners followed suit and ate pears, mostly with the intention of "leaving home to start a business". Later, they were shocked and ate pears, and they also had the idea of "trying to honor their ancestors."
