Fish sold in Northeast China are directly watered and hung with ice to keep them fresh. How cold is the local weather?

There is such a video that is popular on the Internet. After a fish vendor in Northeast China hung the fish outside, he poured some water on the surface and instantly formed a kind of hanging ice on the surface of the fish. , thus completing the preservation work of the fish. The video attracted a lot of attention after it was released, and everyone has always felt that this phenomenon is very magical. This incident happened in the Jiamusi area of ​​Heilongjiang. The local temperature is generally around minus 20 degrees Celsius. In some extremely cold weather, it may reach minus 30 degrees Celsius, which is a common occurrence for the locals. And I have also experienced this kind of coldness.

When I was young, my parents took me to visit my relatives in Jiamusi, Heilongjiang Province, and it happened to be late winter. After arriving at a relative's house, there is a very flat and wide land behind it, and this land is usually used to grow crops or raise cattle. Being young and ignorant, I opened the door to the backyard and ran to the land. However, because it snowed heavily in the previous two days, Jiamusi was very cold after it had snowed. The temperature at that time should have reached below zero. It was around 30 degrees, and I was wearing thick clothes and lumbering forward in the thick snow. But because he was too young and his legs were too short, he was gradually buried under the heavy snow. He was stuck in the snowdrift and had no way to get out, so he lay in the snowdrift and cried for about 20 minutes before his family found him and rescued him. But that night I had a fever and caught a cold. Even if I went to the hospital and got anti-fever injections, it was still of no use. And even if I was in the snowdrift, the total time would only be about half an hour, and it would freeze me to the point of developing a high fever. This shows how cold the local weather is.

And after the local winter arrives, the meat people buy is generally not stored in the refrigerator, but buried in the snow for preservation. The outside is equivalent to a large natural refrigerator, and sometimes the cooling effect is better than that of a refrigerator. Buried in a place with its back to the sun it will last all winter long. If you want to drink ice water, you can directly bury the drink in the snow and freeze it for two or three hours. Then take it out and you will find that all the drinks in the bottle are frozen.

Based on the above, everyone should be able to see how cold the local weather is, and my description is really not an exaggeration. If you don’t believe it, you can go to the Jiamusi area of ​​Heilongjiang to experience it for yourself. However, I would like to remind my friends from the south to wear more clothes when you go to this place, otherwise you will really not be able to survive.
