2. Cold cucumber fungus: fresh and refreshing, moisturizing and dry
Cucumber, with its crisp and refreshing taste and rich moisture, has become a frequent guest on the summer table, with the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and quenching thirst; Fungus, known as the "black treasure", is rich in iron and a variety of trace elements, which can moisturize yin and dryness and promote blood circulation. Cucumber and fungus shredded and cold, accompanied by a small amount of minced garlic, vinegar and sesame oil to taste, both appetizing and greasy, is a rare cool side dish in summer.

Stir-fried tomatoes with eggs are not only attractive in color, sweet and sour, but also effective in stimulating the appetite and helping people maintain a good appetite in the hot summer months.
