Before each real scene, the actors will sit together to rehearse the dialogue first as well as discuss the script to add or cut the inappropriate parts. Like in this behind-the-scenes clip, the female lead Phuong Oanh suggested to the director to drop a line for a reasonable reason. According to the actors’ lines, it seems that at this stage Phuong Nam and Hoang Long began to love each other, the title was changed to “brother – me”. Phuong Oanh focused on learning the dialogue while Manh Truong seemed to be sick, he coughed a lot. Meanwhile, the costume party took advantage of stitching up the missing button of the male lead Hoang Long. Everything will be fine if our handsome male lead screams, making the whole crew startle thinking that he was stabbed by a needle. At this time, the only person who was sober because “catching cards” was Manh Truong was Phuong Oanh. Phuong Oanh humorously said: “Wow, that’s amazing. I saw a camera showing up. Whoa oh my. Poor girl, she’s out of her mind, isn’t she” . Phuong Oanh showed a lot of love for the costume staff because Manh Truong’s screams made her startled and scared. Is it possible that the female lead understands her co-star and does not hesitate to “unmask” Manh Truong? While Manh Truong and Phuong Oanh were practicing their dialogue, Nam Anh didn’t seem to know what to do next. Maybe it’s because she hasn’t reached the part where her appearance is yet. The actress only knows how to do cute things outside while watching people work. At the end of the clip, Manh Truong excited the audience with his sweet line when he told Phuong Oanh: “But you’re my lover” . Perhaps right now, the feelings of Hoang Long and Phuong Nam are very sweet and romantic. In addition, the female lead Phuong Oanh was very happy when she was praised for being pretty. Hopefully in the near future the audience will see more behind-the-scenes clips of the film The taste of friendship .

Sugar should never be omitted when marinating meat, that’s what you need to remember. Usually when marinating meat, we only care so that the meat is rich and fragrant. So what you are interested in is salt, fish sauce, monosodium glutamate, seasoning, and sugar, depending on the dish or as you like. However, few people know that sugar not only helps balance the spices, but also makes each piece of meat sweeter. Therefore, add sugar to marinated meat dishes to make it more delicious. Of course, in addition to sugar, don’t forget MSG, seasoning, which helps to neutralize the seasoning and also makes the meat more sweet and rich. Try to marinate enough time for the sugar to soak into every fiber of the meat. Marinated with beer Beef, pork, after being cut into bite-sized pieces and marinated with spices, you put in a little beer, leave it for a few minutes before stir-frying. In this way, fried, braised, grilled or stewed meat will be softer, more fragrant and especially sweeter. For chicken, after cleaning, you soak the chicken with water mixed with beer for 20 minutes, then steam or boil, the chicken will also be more fragrant and sweet. For braised and braised pork dishes, after cooking for meat, instead of using water to pour ginseng on the meat, you should use beer. This will help the pieces of meat become more fragrant, more attractive and even sweeter. Do not cook the meat too thoroughly Overcooking causes the meat to release a lot of water, the fibers are dry, fibrous and the meat loses its inherent sweetness. Therefore, when stir-frying, boiling meat, you should only cook until cooked. How long is the cooking time of meats to ensure that the meat is cooked enough but still safe? You can refer to the standard time as follows: – For pork: Boil or braise meat 20-25 minutes; Fry the meat for 10 minutes on each side; Stir fry meat for 5-7 minutes. Note: For stir-fry dishes, usually you will stir-fry the pork first, then pour in vegetables or other dishes. If the cooking time of these ingredients is too long, you can stir-fry the cooked meat first and then transfer it to a plate. Continue to stir-fry other ingredients until almost cooked, then pour in the pork. This way you usually apply with beef, but pork is also recommended. For chicken: Boiled chicken for 15-20 minutes, simmering and turning off the heat to braise for 10-15 minutes can take it out. Braised chicken requires 10-15 minutes. – For beef: Stir-fried beef for 3-5 minutes is poured into a plate, braised beef is soft for 20-25 minutes. Stir-fry/stock with vegetables with sweetness Carrots, mushrooms, onions, young corn, sugarcane, white radish, pineapple… are vegetables that have a sweet taste, during the cooking process, they will release sweetness into the water and so the pieces of meat cooked together will become should taste better. Therefore, when cooking meat with many other ingredients, you should choose at least one ingredient with sweetness to make the meat more juicy. For dishes that need more time to cook, such as stewed stock, you should apply this trick to make the dish rich and attractive. KN (th)

Choose really fresh shrimp, wash thoroughly with water, then use scissors to cut off the antennae and the sharp tip of the shrimp. With large shrimp, you should proceed to withdraw only to clean and hygienic shrimp. Then, put the shrimp in a bowl with a little salt and shake well, leave for about 10 minutes to eliminate the fishy smell of the shrimp. Spices for roasting shrimp Only marinate shrimp with salt, absolutely do not use fish sauce to roast shrimp In addition to salt, sugar, and main noodles, dried onions and green onions are two spices that need to be prepared to roast shrimp. Dried onions are both marinated and fragrant before roasting to help the shrimp smell better. Meanwhile, chopped scallions are added last before roasting to help make the color beautiful and look more attractive. When roasting shrimp, absolutely do not use fish sauce because they both cause the shrimp to release a lot of water and affect the sweetness of the shrimp. In addition, you need to prepare more lemon leaves to add at the end. For beautiful red shrimp Hang water (distilled sugar water) will help red shrimp look beautiful The trick here is that you use water. Put the pan on the stove, add 1 tablespoon of sugar and heat until the sugar dissolves and turns yellow, then add 2 tablespoons of hot water, stir, bring to a boil, then turn off the heat. When the roasted shrimp has turned pink, you taste the seasoning and add this cup of water. You should cook the water a little thick to avoid too much water when put in the pot of roasted shrimp. So shrimp is both easy to color and quick to dry. Note that because this product is already available, you do not need to add sugar even when marinating the shrimp. Let the shrimp dry Roasted shrimp still have water secreted from the inside of the shrimp, making them wet, losing their crispiness and especially being very fishy. Therefore, to meet the requirements of roasting shrimp, the shrimp must be dry, and there is no water secreted in the shrimp body. The secret to doing this is that when marinating shrimp, you only marinate with salt, not fish sauce, which will make shrimp more watery. After marinating the shrimp, you put it in a pot and heat it up. When cooked, the shrimp will be a lot of water, you need to boil the water and then pour the shrimp out on a plate. This method helps the shrimp to drain the water and become dry, not fishy. Then fry the onions until fragrant and then fry the shrimp as usual. Continue to stir the shrimp over medium heat to dry the shrimp. During this stage and throughout the roasting process later, you should open the lid of the pot to quickly drain the water and create the necessary dryness. Pay attention to the fire when roasting shrimp Initially, when the shrimp is full of water, you need to heat it up very high to quickly drain the water. Then you bring the fire to a moderate level. If the fire is too high, the shrimp will easily burn, but if the fire is too low, the shrimp will become soft and lose the necessary crispness. Let the roasted shrimp smell attractive Sprinkle with lemon leaves and finely chopped scallions when the stove is turned off to help the shrimp smell better Frying the onion and adding the shrimp, stirring the shrimp over the heat until the shrimp are completely drained are important steps to ensure that the shrimp are roasted properly. But for shrimp to smell attractive, the secret for you is to add finely chopped lemon leaves. You may be surprised, but not only chicken, roasted shrimp also go well with the passionate aroma of lemon leaves. Note that you should only add the lemon leaves last and turn off the heat, so that the lemon leaves will smell good and not be bitter. KN (th)

At that time, the lotus with thousand wings created a “fever”, people racing to buy seeds to plant. A lotus seed of a thousand petals has a price ranging from 400,000 to 500,000 VND, and a lotus pot of this type costs up to a million VND. The thousand-petaled lotus is like a foreign lotus. Because of the number of petals so many, it is called a lotus with a thousand petals or a lotus with a thousand layers. The red-pink lotus usually has between 800 and 1,000 petals (our lotus is less than 20 petals). Outside, the petals are large, the more inward the petals are smaller and dense. The thousand-petaled lotus is very wrong, the flower is nearly as big as the hand. Compared with other lotus species, the thousand-petaled lotus is very long gone. At this time, instead of selling plants or bulbs, on the “internet market” many people sell flower cut flowers like other traditional lotus. However, the price of a thousand-petaled lotus is quite expensive, up to 150,000-200,000 VND / 5 flowers, 5-7 times more expensive than ordinary lotus depending on type. Not to mention, people who love this type of lotus still have to “lay bricks” for 4-7 days to have them. Even in bad weather, you have to order about 2 weeks in advance. Ms. Truong Dieu Anh – a focal point selling fresh flowers in Ha Dong (Hanoi) – said on Vietnamnet, this year is the second year she sells thousand petals, but on the market this kind of lotus supply is quite rare. “Actually selling fresh flowers is just a part-time job. However, I always choose to sell exotic and beautiful flowers. The same goes for thousands of petals. To find a supply, it takes me a long time to discover the house.” This lotus pond will cut flowers for sale, “she said. She also said that the dresser reported that the flower output this year would be more. However, it will take two more weeks to start flowering. At that time, the amount of cut cotton will be available for retail and wholesale. At this time, the volume of goods is still quite modest, there are only 2 flights a week, customers who want to buy must book 3-5 days in advance.

Along with a series of promotions, the stimulus package also includes many attractive tourist activities such as: Show “Dance on the clouds”, Festival of flowers and brocade in Sa Pa, Festival of Culture and Tourism Sa Pa in Hanoi, Carnaval itinerary to connect Lao Cai tourism with Ninh Binh – Hue – Da Nang – Hoi An, experience sports tourism in Bac Ha, experience culture and cuisine of Ha Nhi people (Bat Xat), Spiritual tour of Thuong Temple – Bao Ha Temple – Fansipan … Show “Dance in the clouds”. According to Mr. Ha Van Thang, Director of the Department of Culture – Sports and Tourism of Lao Cai province, the goal of stimulating demand is to restore the key economic sector of the locality to the influence of the Covid-19 epidemic, but the final destination is The same is a safe, friendly Lao Cai with quality services, not just the number of customers. “Lao Cai province does not expect to reach 5 million or more than 5 million visitors. We set a goal in this complicated Covid-19 situation, how to ensure the safety of visitors, to bring to the best products and maintain the tourism products of Lao Cai. Glad that Lao Cai is currently ranked 4th in the 15 most attractive destinations of Vietnam as recently announced by the Tourism Council “- Mr. Ha Van Thang said. Previously, in 2020, Lao Cai also held two major tourism stimulus campaigns in May and October, contributing to an increase of 150% in the number of tourists coming to the locality, helping many businesses and businesses to have was able to recover from the heavy losses caused by the Covid-19 epidemic. On this occasion, as soon as the stimulus package was released, many positive signals were received. Particularly, the rate of booking for the next 30/4 – 1/5 holidays has reached 100 %./.

The plant is also called apricot tea, apricot tea, tea tree oil, commonly found in many northeastern mountainous areas. The junior tree goes into the poetry with beautiful pictures “Border afternoon, when the peach blossom season blooms, when the base season grows trees”, “The old way of the mountain pass is white on the hill side”, … At first glance, the trees sink into the mountains and forests. Only when winter comes, will the flowers bloom simultaneously in the forest, covering the mountains and hills with a rustic and pure white color. The flowers are white, yellow, pistil, and fragrant. The flower is like a camellia flower but much larger, showing off its fragrance among the green foliage. It can be said that there are rare places that have large and perennial grassroots such as Binh Lieu border district (Quang Ninh). Coming here on these December, far away visitors can not help but be amazed between the vast forests of white flowers. The Department is a native plant here since the 1940s. Since 2014, Binh Lieu has implemented the project “Restoring and developing local trees in the period of 2014-2020”, the area of ​​local forest here is about 400ha. The life of the Dao, Tay, San Chi people here is close to the forest, the roots of the trees are used to treat stomach pain; roots and bark used to treat fractures, sprains; The dried shell is used as fuel, … The most valuable product from the base plant is the oil, which is pressed from the seeds and used as cooking oil. Oil contains omega 3,6,9 and many nutrients good for the body not inferior to olive oil, so it can enhance resistance, fight cancer, lose fat, … The harvested pods are then dried, pressed to break the seeds, roasted hot at high temperature and then pressed for oil. The refined base oil obtained without adding any ingredients, has a characteristic aroma and eye-catching color. The residue after pressing can also be used as fertilizer, cleaning shrimp ponds, … Realizing the economic value from oil, Binh Lieu people began to develop oil processing instead of just harvesting the fruits sold to Chinese traders. However, the number of production facilities is small, small-scale. Currently, oil output is from 2,000-3,000 liters / year, the selling price is quite high, about 400,000 VND / liter. This is a typical agricultural product of Binh Lieu, mainly retail in shops. One product in each commune, ward in Quang Ninh. In addition to the specialty of oil, camellia also becomes a unique tourism product of Binh Lieu. The white forest on the occasion of December attracts many tourists to this remote region. The headquarter is becoming the brand of this new and exciting destination. The beautiful images of the season of flowers in the border forest and mountains leave a beautiful impression on visitors. By 2020, the area of ​​local forest will increase to about 1,700 ha. At the same time, according to the proposal, investors from France will open a base oil factory here, opening up export opportunities to the European market for frontier base plants.

The yield is low, but the flavor and nutritional content of white lotus are higher than that of other lotus varieties The most impressive thing is that through the Moc Truly Hue’s project founded and implemented by Pham Thi Dieu Huyen (Hue City) not only for economic purposes, to create jobs, but also to contribute to conservation and development of lotus species. The white background of the Nguyen court used to go out everywhere in the pond and lake of the Monuments Complex of Hue ancient capital.

The ambiguity of Hangzhou’s urban personality may have started when foreign cuisine conquered the base camp of Hangzhou cuisine.

Half a year ago, the Cantonese restaurant with the “time-honored” name opened to the side of the West Lake, attracting a long queue of the Hangzhou People’s Congress. One or two hours was just a routine operation. Some people came to pick up the number after lunch and finally settled down at dinner time. Hangzhou The people’s enthusiasm for Guangdong morning tea is evident.

In Guangdong, where there are gluttons and teahouses everywhere, people have always been ambiguous about Diandude. It is such a chain store that is so sought after, and Hangzhou’s reputation as a “food desert” seems to have taken off once again.

Of course, Hangzhou people have to argue, but looking around, the base area of ​​Hangbang cuisine seems to be shrinking. After the expansion of Green Tea, Xinbailu, and Grandma’s family, they gradually lose their individuality. They cannot stop pickled cabbage fish, Sichuan-Chongqing hot pot, and grilled fish. Siege of the city.

△Hangzhou’s personality is getting blurred? / Lu Xiu Telephoto

Food may be just a microcosm, The dialects, customs, and regional identities belonging to Hangzhou are becoming blurred with the continuous expansion of the city boundary , This may be the fate of all fast-developing cities.

In 2020, Hangzhou will newly recruit more than 400,000 college students under the age of 35, and the total number of new settlers is expected to be close to 600,000. The old Hangzhou people who live by the West Lake, the Xiaoshan people and Yuhang people who consciously draw a clear line from the old Hangzhou, and the new Hangzhou people who have rushed to settle down from thousands of miles, standing on the edge of the Qiantang River, which is endless day and night, will inevitably have to face the same The problem:

Where is Hangzhou? Who is from Hangzhou? What is Hangzhou flavor?

Imagined Hangzhou

“There is heaven on the top, Suzhou and Hangzhou on the bottom”, this is a sentence everyone has been tired of since childhood. The two cities of Suzhou and Hangzhou carry most of the imagination about Jiangnan—— Gentle, beautiful, softly speaking, hazy water vapor. Especially the shallow West Lake in that bay, “light makeup is always suitable”, and every wave of water is folded with thousands of styles.

As Yu Qiuyu wrote about a swimming experience in the West Lake: “The lake is not cool, the bottom of the lake is not deep, but the soft and velvety ground cannot be kicked, reminding people that there are thousands of years of siltation here. When I came ashore, I thought that I was from the Song Dynasty. I went into the water at the precincts and ended up swimming to the relic of a Qing man. Therefore, the water wave that was just fondled was immediately abstracted by history, and it was almost unreal.”

The history of Hangzhou is too long, and there are too many cultural symbols deposited in the West Lake , Even if you haven’t been here for a while, there are countless opportunities to meet it. The broken bridge where Xu Xianchu met the White Lady, the collapsed and restored Leifeng Pagoda, the Wansong Academy where Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai studied… Repeated reading in textbooks, high appearance rates in film and television dramas, and family and friends travel The tea leaves, silk scarves, and folding fans that roughly depict the scenery of the West Lake all weave the Chinese imagination of Hangzhou early.

Those who are familiar with traditional culture will not get lost even if they visit the West Lake for the first time.

Among the tireless chants of literati in the past, the most memorable one is Liu Yong’s “Wang Hai Tide”.Among the poems in this preferred Chinese textbook, Hangzhou’s City status It is “Southeast Xingsheng, Sanwu City, Qiantang Prosperous since ancient times”, Hangzhou Cityscape It is “clouds and trees around the embankment and sand, raging waves and frost and snow, and the sky is boundless.” The life of Hangzhou citizens is “listening to the flute and drums while drunk, singing and appreciating the haze”, from Hangzhou. The level of development It is “the city’s jewels, the household is surplus, and the luxury is competing.”

Even the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, Wan Yanliang, who was a thousand years ago, couldn’t help standing up for it. “Raise one million soldiers on the West Lake, immediately the first peak of Wushan Mountain” It’s no wonder that generations of Chinese children close their textbooks, walk out of the classroom, and begin to imagine this beautiful city far away in their hearts.

However, the city of Hangzhou in reality does not always respond to this imagination, in other words, Hangzhou has never been exactly what people imagined.

Tourists flock to Baidi Sudi day after day to admire the expected Jiangnan scenery, but they As long as you walk a few more steps, you can detect another kind of temperament in this city. ——At the end of Sudi, passing through the hustle and bustle of people, in front of you is the famous Yuemiao, turning to the east of Yuemiao, a few steps away, is the small tomb of Su’s “grass like green, pine like cover” written by Li He. Not far away, the tomb of Jianhu heroine Qiu Jin lives next to each other.

A wild poet, a tragic talented woman, a dazzling hero , Living together wonderfully here, Yuan Mei of the Qing Dynasty wrote, “Lying with Yue and Shuang Shaobao, the world begins to feel heavy on the West Lake.” Hangzhou certainly has a beautiful side, but On the back of the delicate atmosphere, there is the vigorous and heroic spirit of Hangzhou.

In turbulent times, this heroic spirit gave birth to heroism. Today, it provides inexhaustible impetus for the rise of cities.

The appearance is delicate, the bone is heroic

If northerners are lucky enough to eat a bowl of Pian’erchuan in Hangzhou, they will definitely feel cordial. It is also a famous Jiangnan noodle. Compared with the exquisiteness of Ouzao noodles and the lightness of Yangchun noodles, the salty fragrance of Pian’erchuan may be genetically closer to that of the north. The Erhuayin in the name is also easy to stump the Jiangnan villagers. Only the bamboo shoots and snow vegetables floating in the bottom of the soup show its identity as a mixed race of north and south.

This mixed element does not only appear in the diet. To describe it in today’s parlance, Hangzhou has been a very tolerant city since ancient times.

△Pianerchuan, one of Hangzhou’s representative foods. / Picture Worm Creative

Hangzhou’s mind is always open During the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline, tea saint Lu Yu came to Hangzhou to take refuge, writing “there is Jiamu in the south, and people are among the grass and trees”. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the warlords fought in a melee, and the Wu Yueguo of Qianlong kept one side safe. “The southeast is always the Jin Tianzhu, who envied the tens of thousands of households at that time.” In the troubled times, the peaceful Hangzhou is especially precious.

The changes in Jingkang, the Southern and Northern Song Dynasties, changed the capital city from Kaifeng on the Yellow River to Hangzhou on the Qiantang River. A large number of northerners flocked to Hangzhou Among them were the first-class painter Li Tang at the time, the famous poet Chen Yuyi, and countless traffickers and commoners. From Jianyan to Shaoxing, in the 30 years when the situation in the Southern Song Dynasty gradually stabilized, the number of immigrants has exceeded that of local residents in Hangzhou. The mark left by this historical process today is the Hangzhou dialect, which is clearly different from Wu Nong’s soft language.

The phrase “only Hangzhou as Bianzhou” has made many people mistakenly believe that Hangzhou’s soft mi has been a heroic spirit. In fact, it is precisely this beautiful landscape, At the same time accommodates the delicate and heroic , The tiger sniffs the rose, no matter how stubborn people are, they can’t help showing their soft side here.

The king of Wuyue Qianyu once left the legend of Qian Wang shooting the tide, and there is still a sculpture of the same name by the Qiantang River: Qianyu leaping on a horse with a whip, facing the raging tide of the world, ordering soldiers to aim at the head and send all arrows. Faced with such a momentum, the Pentium Qianjiang tide seemed to be a real stop.

It’s such an indomitable Qian Wei. When he missed his wife returning home, Zhanxin wrote the famous gentle sentence “Flowers on the Moshang, you can return slowly.” This poetry lasted for thousands of years, and it is still a golden sentence circulating on the Internet.

△The “Qianwang shoots the tide” by the Qiantang River. / Picture Worm Creative

As a native of Hangzhou, Yu Qian, a national hero who turned the tide in the Ming Dynasty, came to the West Lake and chanted naturally: “The willows outside the Jinmen are like smoke, the water of the West Lake beats the sky. The jade wrists and skirts are paired with oars, and the mandarin ducks fly close to the sky. Lotus boat.”

If you want to see the gentle and elegant Jiangnan scenery, Hangzhou will not let you down. But if you think that weakness is the urban character of Hangzhou, it is really a big misunderstanding.

According to the meticulous “Old Wu Lin”, even in the face of the “shocking lasing shot, swallowing sky and fertile day” Qiantang tide, Hangzhou teenagers “struggled to brave the first, greet them, and haunt the waves of whales.”Just think about the magnificence of this scene, who can say that this is a “The warm wind makes tourists drunk” Where is Hangzhou?

From Little Hangzhou to Greater Hangzhou

In the sitcom “I Love My Home” broadcast in 1994, there was a plot: Husband Jia Zhiguo returned from a business trip in Hangzhou, and his wife peacefully said that he was “resting in Jiangnan water town for half a month”. Travel and leisure are the most prominent in this city. s Mark.

At that time, Hangzhou was still a “little man” in the capital city of the country. It seemed that there was still a long distance from the side of West Lake to Old Yuhang. The economy of Xiaoshan on the opposite bank of the Qiantang River took off, and many people did not regard themselves as Hangzhou people. Don’t talk about the distant Fuyang, Jiande, and Chun’an.

In the urban structure of Shanghai, Nanjing and Hangzhou, Hangzhou is at the bottom. In the tide of reform and opening up, The name of Hangzhou was not as eye-catching as neighboring Wenzhou, Ningbo, and Yiwu.

△ Hangzhou used to be far less crowded than it is now. / Picture Worm Creative

But in this peace, new changes are already brewing.

In 1998, Wahaha, founded by Hangzhou native Zong Qinghou, embarked on the fast track of development. The new product is very cola. “The Chinese’s Own Coke” , Popular across the country. In addition to silk and tea, beverages, automobiles, and industrial products from Hangzhou have also quietly changed the lives of Chinese people.

In the same year that Very Cola was born, Hangzhou girl Tang Wei began to pursue her dream of being an actress. She was preparing for the performance department of the Central Academy of Drama for two consecutive years, but she failed. In one of the failures, the examiner gave the reason that “the appearance is not special and he is not suitable for being an actor”.

Tang Wei didn’t give up. For the third time, she decided to change her direction and apply for the directing department, and finally got the opportunity to study in Chinese opera. Among the 15 students in the Directing Department of that year, Tang Wei left everyone with the impression that he was “the most beautiful one.”

In the last two years of the last century, few people in Hangzhou had heard the name of Alibaba. In March 1999, “Zhejiang Hangzhou guy” Ma Yun officially resigned from public office and raised enough RMB 500,000 to start a new round of entrepreneurship. He assembled the initial team later known as the Eighteen Arhats to develop the Alibaba website.

People often sigh with emotion, The changes in Hangzhou in the last two decades may be greater than in the past two hundred years : West Lake dared to be the first in the world, becoming the country’s first free and open top scenic spot, attracting tourists from all directions; the riverside segmented from Xiaoshan, Yuhang, the base camp of Alibaba, one south and one north, pull the city into the express train of the Internet economy; from From Huang Zheng to Zhong Yanyan, wealth replaced the beauty and became the most famous symbol of Hangzhou. The city’s borders continue to expand. According to the administrative division, Qiandao Lake, which is more than 100 kilometers away and two hours away by car, has also been included in the category of Hangzhou.

People are often confused as to why Hangzhou has no special features. The old Hangzhou people are increasingly unable to hear the authentic Hangzhou accent. The new Hangzhou people have a longing for life in the south of the Yangtze River, but they are trapped in their nine-to-nine life.

The G20 summit and the Asian Games are coming one after another. Hangzhou is rushing towards the goal of first-tier cities, but the housing prices are getting higher and higher, and the queues on the Qiushi Elevated Road are getting longer and longer. someone said, In this old city, we can smell Shenzhen more and more.

△Hangzhou is becoming a city of internet celebrities. On the streets of Hangzhou, a model is “street shooting”. /Picture Worm Creative

But think about it the other way around, how many Shenzhen-style emerging cities, where the center of the city can accommodate a beautiful landscape of West Lake? How many ancient Hangzhou-style cities can stay behind in the ever-changing development?Of course Hangzhou is not perfect, nor can it become what everyone wants, but This inclusive measure of both delicate and heroic, classic and modern, busy and quiet, secular and elegant, efficiency and leisure , It is precisely Hangzhou’s everlasting urban temperament.

Everyone has their own answers to what Hangzhou taste is. A city that can withstand praise and complains will naturally not lose its urban character easily.

Whether settled or traveling, people who come to Hangzhou and go around always meet by the West Lake, as the soul of the city, The rippling West Lake is always more open than we thought.

Do you have any impression of Hangzhou?

-Speaking of Fengwujun-

Not coming to Guangdong

Go for nothing

Even if you haven’t been to Chaoshan, you should have tried Chaoshan beef hot pot, right?

The Phoenix Mountains in the north of Chaoshan separate Meizhou, making Chaozhou, Shantou, Jieyang and other places constitute a unique cultural area-Chaoshan area. They are close in geography, culture, folklore, and language, so they often appear collectively as “Chaoshan”, just like the name “Jieyang Chaoshan Airport”.

▲ Picture of Chaozhou Ancient City/Chaozhou Government Promotional Video

But in fact, the word “Chaoshan” originated from modern China, and it appeared in the archives of Chaoshan Customs in the 9th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty (1883). In 1949, New China set up a “Chaoshan Special Zone” in the Chaoshan area, and “Chaoshan” first became a Administrative division name. And another name, as early as 591 AD, Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, used it to name the Chaoshan area, which means “in the continent of the tide, the tide goes back and forth”. It has been used for more than 1,600 years.That is Chaozhou.

At the border of Guangdong and Fujian, born towards the sea

“Province Wei Guojiao” is a self-deprecating statement by Chaozhou people, and it also describes the geographical location of Chaozhou: Chaozhou is located on the southern coast of mainland China, at the eastern end of Guangdong Province, where the East China Sea and the South China Sea meet, and it is also the two sides of Guangdong and Fujian. The border area of ​​the province.

The Phoenix Mountain in the north is like a mother to Chaozhou. It is not only the geographical boundary of the Chaoshan Cultural District, but also an important birthplace of Chinese Oolong Tea. Chaozhou’s elegant name “Fengcheng” also comes from this mountain.

The Huanggang River and the Hanjiang River are divided into the east and west, and they are the two larger rivers in Chaozhou, running into the sea. Looking at the topography of Chaozhou, the mountainous area occupies as much as 65% of the entire area, and the available arable land is relatively small. The living environment by the sea gives the Chaozhou people the adventurous and pioneering spirit, and creates the characteristics of the Chaozhou people to be mercantile.

In history, Chaozhou merchants, Shanxi merchants, and Huizhou merchants were collectively known as the three major merchant gangs in ancient my country, and the sea trade of Chaozhou people was very active. According to the introduction in the “2009 Global Chaozhou Business Economic White Paper”, at that time, about half of the Chinese assets in Southeast Asian countries were Chaozhou people; Chaozhou had many wealthy Chinese businessmen, accounting for a quarter of the wealth of the global Chinese richest list; Among the more than 50 million Chinese overseas, about 20% are of Chaozhou nationality…

Chaozhou people are so hot in overseas business, and there is also a very good ceramic industry in the local industry. Chaozhou is not only the largest production base of arts and crafts porcelain, daily-use porcelain and sanitary ware in China, but also the largest production base of ceramics in the world. There are more than 10,000 ceramic manufacturers in Chaozhou, and many Chaozhou locals make a living from this.

“Where there is tide, there are trendy people.” Chaozhou people have not only traveled to all parts of the world, but also made business all over the world, and brought Chinese culture to all parts of the world. All kinds of delicacies have become the “hometown taste” of local Chinese. Taoist temples decorated with Chaozhou wood carvings have become a window to understand China, and the origin of these delicacies, beliefs, and arts is in Chaozhou.

Worship Han Yu on the ground, “Borrow Lord” in the sky

There is a saying in Guangdong that “you can’t come to Guangdong, and you will go for nothing.” More than 1,000 years ago, Chaozhou was not as popular as it is now. One of the destinations for officials to offend the emperor and be demoted was Chaozhou.

▲ The largest archway street in China.Picture/Promotional Video of Chaozhou City Government

In 819 AD, Han Yu wrote to Tang Xianzong with a one-fold “Admonition to the Buddha’s Bone Form”, with a sharp rhetoric. Angrily, Tang Xianzong demoted Han Yu to Chaozhou. The road to Chaozhou was difficult and difficult, and he wrote the famous “Moving Left to Languan Show Nephew Sun Xiang”.

Han Yu only stayed in Chaozhou for just eight months, but during these eight months he built water conservancy projects, cared about agriculture, released slaves, and donated education, bringing a strong Confucianism to Chaozhou.

In order to thank Han Yu, Chaozhou people renamed Bijia Mountain to “Hanshan” and built a Hanwen Gong Temple on the mountain; renamed “Evil River” to “Hanjiang”, and the Guangji Bridge on the river was also named Xiangzi Bridge (Han Yu’s grand-nephew is called Han Xiang); a road in the city is called Changli Road (Han Yu Changli), and a Jinghan Pavilion was built. It’s no wonder that Zhao Puchu said that Han Yu was “worthy of being banished from the south, winning the surname Han”.

Han Yu has always been regarded as a cultural mentor by the people of Chaozhou and has become one of the most important cultural anchors in Chaozhou. The power of this literary style can be seen from the archways on Taiping Road. This is Chaozhou’s “coastal Zoulu”, The historical testimony of Chongwen re-learning and the gathering of humanities.

Another important aspect of Chaozhou culture has to do with several “Southern crossings” in Chinese history. Most of the early Chaozhou immigrants stayed in Fujian for a long time before migrating from Fujian to the tide. They not only brought the Central Plains culture, but also the Fujian culture.

Chaozhou dialect is also called Chaoshan dialect, which is a branch of Min dialect. The Hakka dialect is also spoken by quite a few people in Chaozhou, as well as the Tulou of the Hakka people: Fujian has the famous “Four Dishes and One Soup”, and the Daoyunlou in Raoping, Chaozhou is not inferior. This is what my country has discovered so far. The single largest tulou.

▲ Yunlou, Raoping Road, Chaozhou.Picture/Promotional Video of Chaozhou City Government

Kaiyuan Temple, an ancient temple in Chaozhou, has similarities with temples in Quanzhou, Fujian in terms of architectural decoration, pagodas, or statues. Just like Fujianese people like to worship various gods, Chaozhou people are also very serious about “worshiping the lord”. Ancient and modern heroes, ancestors of all races and surnames, and myths and legends can all be “lords.” On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, you must worship the landlord. In the first month, “worshiping the master” is the most important thing.

“Jiaojiren, it doesn’t matter if you shoot to death!” is a local saying that means “doing things for one’s own family, it doesn’t matter if the liver and brain are smeared.” The enthusiasm of Chaozhou people for sacrifice, in addition to the preservation of traditional culture, is largely derived from this family philosophy. And whether it is the preservation of traditions or family concepts, is it not the breeding ground for Chaozhou cuisine?

Cantonese? Min taste? It’s tide!

There is also a saying in Guangdong that “food is in Guangzhou, but Chaozhou is tasted”. Although there is another version that tastes in Shunde, Chaozhou undoubtedly has its own status in the Cantonese delicacy sceneries full of masters.

①Shacha is life

Located at the border of Guangdong and Fujian, many of Chaozhou’s eating habits have both local characteristics. For example, shacha sauce originated in the Chaoshan Chinese diet in Malay-speaking regions, and later became popular in Chaoshan, Fujian and other places. If subdivided, there are some differences in sand tea between the two places. The fragrance of Chaoshan sand tea sauce is stronger than that of Fujian Minnan sand tea sauce.

The daily snacks here are shacha noodles, shacha kuih and shacha dumplings. Chaozhou’s shacha noodles are very different from Xiamen and other places. The first choice is Chaozhou flat noodles, and the peanut butter and shacha sauce are topped after being dried. The two are more salty and spicy when mixed and dry. Pair it with a bowl of plump meatball soup, one bite of noodles and one bite of soup, that’s a refreshing one!

The way of eating rice rolls in Chaozhou has its own characteristics, which is different from that of Guangzhou. In Guangzhou, most rice rolls are topped with soy sauce, while Chaozhou rice rolls have brine soup, sand tea sauce and peanut butter in addition to soy sauce. Not only the soup is different, but the fillings of the rice noodles are also different. The beef rice noodles in Guangzhou is beef, and the barbecued pork is barbecued pork. The rice noodles in Chaozhou is richer, beef, eggs, oysters, mushrooms, bean sprouts… What you want is really the gospel for rice noodle lovers.

Chaozhou people almost cannot do without Shacha sauce every day. The Chaoshan Beef Hot Pot, which is famous all over the country, is dipped in the sweet Shacha Sauce.

②The food is fresh

In order to fully tap the potential of beef, Chaozhou people divide beef into more than a dozen different parts, and each part has an appropriate time to rinse. The menu includes hanging dragons, hanging dragon companions, spoons, spoon handles, fat calluses, tender meats, and so on. Newcomers may be confused.

The five-flowered toe, which is most affected by the heat, only needs three ups and downs in the clear soup to reach the best eating time. The top neck is even more delicate, put it in the bottom of the pot and rinse for about 8 seconds before eating.

“I heard about selling Yusheng in the middle of the night, I want to eat fish head and boiled pange.” Another delicious food is the Yusheng mentioned here. Yusheng, also known as fish meat, was a very common delicacy in ancient China. The so-called “never tired of eating fine meat, never tired of fine food” refers to this.

The fish sashimi here is not the same as the Japanese sashimi. The fish sashimi pays attention to the tenderness of the meat, the thinness of the knife and the combination of spices. How rich are the side dishes and dips? The side dishes include ring pepper, shredded young ginger, shredded onion, and sour carambola slices, and the dipping materials include chili rice vinegar, soy sauce mustard, three osmotic sauce, etc., which are extremely rich.

Chaozhou Yusheng generally uses grass carp. Two pieces of clean meat without bone spurs on the back of the selected fish are used. Dry the water with a dry cloth, and then hang the fish in a ventilated place to let the wind dry. When you eat it, cut it into thin slices, which are thinner and drier than Japanese sashimi, so the Teochew sashimi has a lot of oil in the dipping material, which also plays a role in smoothing the taste. In addition to raw fish, Chaozhou people also eat raw prawns and raw lobsters.

There is also a fresh way of eating, it is the other king of the supper-fish rice. Unlike Yusheng, Chaozhou fish rice generally uses sea fish, such as Kuanmu, Huaxian, and Balang.

The selected sea fish is fresh first, and then the fish that is not cut or scaled in salt water is marinated in light salt water, then cooked in thick salt water, and cooled naturally, so as to maximize the umami taste of the sea fish. . This principle is similar to the white chicken that Cantonese eat. The simplest cooking method retains the freshest taste of the ingredients.

▲ There are many fish to choose from in Chaoshan Fish Rice.Picture/Station B@飞飞食记

Fish rice can be eaten cold, hot, or fried. The best thing is with a bowl of white porridge. The fish is firm and sweet, and the white porridge is mellow and has a grain aroma. Even the meat on the belt picks up the fish. The pureness of the white porridge makes the freshness of the fish to the extreme.

Chen Xiaoqing once said that he couldn’t stand the smell when he tasted fish rice for the first time, but fell in love with fish rice the second time he ate it. In fact, the types of fish rice are not only marine fish, but also seafood such as shrimps, crabs and shellfish. At the Chaozhou night food stalls, red crab rice, red meat rice, Er rice, and thin shell rice are also popular among locals.

③ Variety Kueh Kueh Kueh

Speaking of Chaozhou kueh, there are no less than a hundred varieties. Whether it is to pay tribute to the gods, worship ancestors, weddings and funerals, or stand in small shops, you can see kueh.

▲ There are really many kinds of Kueh in Chaozhou.Picture/Station B@福米家味美食

People will worship different kuih products in different solar terms, such as the “Piaozi Kueh” made from puzi leaves in the Qingming Festival; the “Zhi Kueh” made with gardenia for the ancestors of the Dragon Boat Festival…The Kueh here uses a variety of Fresh ingredients are stewed into kueh fillings, which are named after the main kueh fillings, such as Caitou kueh, leek kueh, salt water kueh, Gantong kueh, etc. The long-standing and common ones are squirrel kueh, red peach kueh, and rat song Kueh is also found in Fujian.

▲ A long history of red peach cakes.Picture/Station B@潮州山哥

Also affected by the “Nandu” and other places, Fujian and other places often eat kueh, among which there is a well-known snack called nine-layer kueh. Add red-yellow pigment to the rice milk and add it to nine layers in the order of red-yellow-white. Because of the different pronunciation, the Hakka people pronounce “粿” as “粄”-the mouse 粄 they eat is actually a kind of “粿”.

From lobster and abalone to beef hot pot, from sashimi to fish rice, even a simple bowl of sand tea noodles, a piece of salt water kueh, Chaozhou people have their own understanding of taste, and Chaozhou cuisine is more than this: licorice Fruits, duck mother twist, sugar onion pancakes, oyster bake, fermented bean curd pancakes, fish skin dumplings, beef balls, Xikou braised goose…if you don’t have a heavy sample for a month, I’m afraid you can’t finish it.

Chaozhou people cannot be without tea for a day!

Chaozhou people cannot live without tea every day, in addition to shacha sauce. The tide writer Qin Mu once said that “Chaozhou Gongfu tea can be called the representative of Chinese tea ceremony”, and Chaozhou Gongfu tea is a symbol of “the trendy people are elegant, and their actions are superb.”

In the local dialect, “gong” is pronounced as gāng, which is used to describe time. The word “gongfu” means to do things carefully and carefully, which is enough to show that Chaozhou people attach great importance to drinking tea. It is said that drinking tea is like drinking water. In Chaozhou, there is nothing against it: after breakfast, make a pot of tea to wake up; after lunch, come to a pot of tea to relieve greasiness; after dinner, boil water to make tea and watch TV or serve customer.

▲ Picture of Chaozhou Gongfu Tea / “Tea, the Story of a Leaf”

Chaozhou people call tea “tea rice”, and tea is as important as rice in life. In order to drink more delicious local tea, Chaozhou people cultivated the “Phoenix Dancong” in Phoenix Mountain. There are various fragrances such as Zhilanxiang, milanxiang, magnolia, evening lavender, grapefruit flower, ginger flower, etc. Strange smell of duck feces.

▲ Chaozhou people attach great importance to drinking tea, and they are very particular about it. Photo/”tea, the story of a leaf”

Drinking tea is also very important for Chaozhou people, in addition to understanding thirst, communicating feelings and negotiating business. Chaozhou people like to use a smaller teacup, half the size of a ping-pong ball. It is convenient to sip and drink without leaving a bottom. Don’t say anything, this feeling is all in the tea!

You can drink tea almost anywhere in Chaozhou, whether it is a tea house restaurant, a shop roadside, or a park attraction. Every household has a tea set, and you must drink it for a few rounds a day. Some people also prepare a set of tea sets in their private cars to make it easy to drink them wherever they go.

▲ Although the tea set is simple, it does not delay drinking tea outdoors. Photo/”tea, the story of a leaf”

Chaozhou people used the enthusiasm of life for drinking Gongfu tea, the pursuit of the deliciousness of food, and the study of the way to eat a hundred kinds of kuih. One of the ten great beasts in the Chaozhou dialect, the “hard donkey”, is a “tide-style” complaint made by wage earners to themselves, which means that the work is very hard and the wages are low, but they can only carry it hard for the sake of life. But no matter how hard it is, Chaozhou people should also have time to drink tea with friends, go to the temple to worship gods, and go to the glutinous rice stalls to chill with their families. This is the “ritual sense” of Chaozhou people’s life!

The Kalmyk mainly eat beef and lamb. They have a very unique way of cooking meat called khorkhog. Men will cut the flesh into pieces, leaving the bones intact. Then they put the meat in a tin or aluminum jar with vegetables, hot water and ice. While they rode on the grasslands all day, the stones would boil pieces of meat. So they had a plate of casserole when they stopped for lunch. Before the long trip or the coming winter, people prepare kyur dried meat again. They skillfully slaughter a cow or a sheep so that the whole meat of the animal fits its whole heart. The cook will dig a hole, fill it with coal, wood or dry manure, and burn it to ash. While the ash in the pit is still hot, the heart will be lowered and covered with ash. The men will fill the hole with earth and continue to light the fire above. The result is a piece of dried meat that is both soft and flavorful. Life on horseback has taught the Kalmyk not to give up any part of the animal. They especially value sheep and beef offal. The dotur soup that every family eats is made from sheep’s heart cooked with onions and a variety of herbs. Another favorite dish of shepherds and shepherds is semjer orasn elkn. This dish is made from beef liver or lamb liver wrapped in fat membrane that is scraped from the animal’s heart and then grilled over charcoal fire. Like other Central Asian peoples, the Kalmyk also drink milk tea. Drinks made of tea leaves, milk, butter, salt and nutmeg powder both keep warm and add energy to people. Sometimes they even put lamb fat in the tea. In the summer, the Kalmyk people often make yogurt kumys from sheep or horse milk. Scientists have proven that the probiotics in kumys have a very good effect on protecting the respiratory tract.
