Speaking of the northeast, many people's first impression is that the cotton-padded jacket with big flowers is above MINUS 30 degrees, but this side of the northeast is different from the TV series. Cities in the northeast are particularly popular. Harbin has the title of Little Paris in the East, but the northeast people are really as enthusiastic as in the TV series. Many people don't know what northeast people usually eat. In addition to stew, pickles and blood sausage, there is also a kind of sauce. Pickled pickles are cooked and eaten by every household in Northeast China. Some people say that "work is boring without soy sauce". Soy sauce has been processed in Liaodong area for more than 1000 years, and there are detailed written records in the history books of Manchu ancestors making soy sauce. The production cycle of soy sauce is very long, ranging from at least 4 months to 1 year.

On the dining table in the northeast, especially in the countryside, if there is a small vegetable garden at home, soy sauce is essential when the Chinese cabbage and shallots in the garden grow up, and pickles should be served at every meal, otherwise it always feels tasteless. In the era when there are no out-of-season vegetables, pickles are also a necessary side dish on the table. Northeasters are used to putting some sauces when cooking, such as eggplant in sauce, scrambled eggs in sauce, fish in sauce soup and so on. When you really have no appetite, you can eat two bowls of rice with green onions dipped in sauce oil.

Vegetables in pickles usually include cucumber strips, lettuce, onion, bean skin, radish strips, shredded carrots, tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce and so on. They can add or delete at will. The sauce in the sauce plate is the soul. This dish is really delicious only if the sauce is delicious. Sauce is usually meat sauce. First, stir the shredded pork evenly with cooking wine, pepper, salt and starch, and marinate for a while. Then, put the oil into the pot, add chopped green onion, ginger and garlic, and stir-fry the shredded pork until it changes color. Then, add soy sauce, bean paste, water and pepper, and stir well. The sauce is very delicious.

Sauce is hard for southerners to accept. Because of the hot weather in the south, fresh vegetables are easy to rot and breed bacteria, so southerners generally don't eat raw vegetables. Besides, people in Renye Fang eat relatively light food. They may not like northeast sauce, so they don't like it very much. But many southerners say that the sauce tastes so good that everyone is different.
