How do southerners view the phenomenon of hoarding Chinese cabbage and potatoes in autumn and winter in Northeast China?

Southerners should not understand the hoarding of Chinese cabbage and potatoes in autumn and winter in Northeast China. In fact, not only Northeast China, but also North China, such as Hebei and Beijing, will have similar habits. There are three main reasons for this situation. First, there was no greenhouse before, so vegetables could only be eaten in winter. Second, the northeast people should pickle sauerkraut, at least one or two hundred kilograms at a time; Third, in the past, Chinese cabbage and potatoes were the cheapest.

1, there was no greenhouse before, and there was no greenhouse planting before. What vegetables do you eat in what season? For the north, the most common dishes in autumn and winter are potatoes and Chinese cabbage. In winter, the fields are basically planted with Chinese cabbage. Both North China and Northeast China have this habit. Seeing the cabbage pulled by the big truck, I suddenly hoarded hundreds of pounds. Now that the conditions are good, some people in North China grow cabbage and naturally hoard it. Those who don't farm basically buy when they want, and rarely hoard. The progress of the times makes people abandon their previous habits.

2. Northeasters want to pickle sauerkraut. Nowadays, many people in Northeast China also pick cabbage in winter. I don't mean hoarding, but salting it all at once. The specialty of Northeast China is stewed vermicelli with sauerkraut and pork. Without sauerkraut, it is impossible. And the Chinese New Year is coming, and we should also eat jiaozi with sauerkraut. Many young people don't like pickled sauerkraut, so the old man prepares it for them. Many old people take one or two hundred Jin at a time, and then give some to their relatives and friends when they see them. It may seem like a lot, but it's not much, as long as it can keep the amount of jiaozi and stew. If you have a lot of pickled sauerkraut, you must hoard a lot of cabbage.

Before poverty, people were poor and could not afford any good food. When greenhouses were first popularized, not many people were willing to buy food. Cabbage is a seasonal dish, which is very cheap in winter. Potatoes are cheap all year round, and these two dishes are most suitable for winter. Coupled with the cold weather, it can't be broken on the balcony, so it is habitually hoarded. Some people keep their habits and will hoard some in autumn and winter.
