Northeastern sauerkraut pot is an important part of the Manchu food culture. In early winter, when the leaves of poplar trees fall one after another, Northeast China enters the "sauerkraut season". In the streets and alleys, at the entrance of the community, you can see vegetable farmers driving horse-drawn carriages or riding tricycles to sell vegetables in the city, as well as green and tender cabbages piled up like a small mountain. After selecting, weighing, and bargaining, every household buys back their favorite Chinese cabbage quickly occupied the sunny areas in front of and behind the house so that the vegetables could be fully dried. During the drying period, listening to the weather forecast became a compulsory course for people. "Umbrella" on rainy days and "quilt" on cold days, each Chinese cabbage is like a baby that is carefully cared for. In the eyes of children, this is more like a unique ritual for people in Northeast China before winter.
