Reading guide: As the saying goes, "the time and people urge each other, and the winter solstice gives birth to spring again", this is because every year during the winter solstice, the yin energy between heaven and earth is extremely strong, and yin and yang are the same root, and yin is to the extreme, it will be transformed into yang, so after the winter solstice, the yang energy in the human body will slowly rise. In fact, Yang Qi is like the guards of the human body, they are distributed on the surface of the skin, and they are responsible for resisting all external evils, so as to protect the safety of the human body.

[Master Hu has something to say]:
1. In the market or drugstore, there are fried black sesame seeds for sale, and they also have a grinding service, if you don't want to fry at home, you can also buy it outside, and go home to make ginger black sesame balls.
2. When frying sugar, it must be fried continuously over medium and low heat, if the sugar is fried, it will also cause the black sesame balls to eat more bitter, if you don't grasp it well, use the smallest heat to fry, slow will not take more than 5 minutes, this is very important.
3. When making ginger black mushroom pills, do not touch raw water or oil during the whole process, which will lead to the breeding of germs in ginger black mushroom pills, which will lead to the deterioration of ginger black mushroom pills.
