Though it is not cold enough to wear a down jacket, mutton soup shops dotted in alleys of Suzhou New District indicate that Suzhou residents' diet has adapted to the upcoming freezing weather.
Compendium of Materia Medica, the most complete and comprehensive medical book ever written in the history of traditional Chinese medicine, states that mutton is capable of nourishing the liver, tonifying the lung, invigorating the stomach, and soothing asthma.
