The more famous pickles are pickles. The dishes here should be fresh, water and seasonal, and the sauce should be fresh and mellow. In spring and early summer, most of them are wild vegetables, dandelions, small root garlic, thorn buds, bracken and willow buds; Lettuce, Chinese cabbage, cucumber, radish, pepper and shallot in midsummer; Pickled sauerkraut, radish, cabbage and green onions in autumn and winter, as well as big tofu and dried tofu that appear in all seasons.
