50. Why do people like to start preserving ham and pickled products at the beginning of the "Xiaoxue" (Minor Snow) solar term?

In that year, when these items were prepared, it was just around the time of the New Year, so they could be taken out as New Year's gifts. Gradually, this practice became a custom.

53. Then, put salt, Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, tangerine peel, and fennel seeds into the pot and stir-fry them until slightly yellow.

After four to five days, flip the fish in the container upside down to ensure the spices are evenly absorbed.
