【Beijing】Cold Cucumber

Overview

How was everyone's holiday? Is the holiday meal delicious? Anyway, I was stuffed to death at every meal. The rule of gaining three kilograms during festivals no longer applies, as gaining three kilograms is considered a small amount. One conclusion is that I don’t have enough self-control. The holiday table is colorful, with big fish and meat mixed with meat and vegetables. The first ones to be served are vegetarian dishes, and cold dishes are the most popular. Everyone unanimously commented that the cold salad is refreshing and relieves tiredness. I made a cucumber salad today. Anticipating this result, I made a large plate of it, and it became the dish that was sold out as soon as it was served.
