Hainan Island has a hot climate. People go out to work or work during the day, and their bodies lose a lot of water, so they need to replenish a lot of water. Therefore, "drinking soup before meals" has become the dietary custom of most Hainan people, which is different from that of northerners.
Haikou people, in addition to lunch boxes for working meals, pay attention to high-end banquets in restaurants, and ordinary ones are at the family dinner table. People in Haikou always forget to drink soup when eating. Although there are high and low grades of soup everywhere, people drink it with relish. There are two orders for Haikou people to eat and drink soup:
One is to drink soup before meals.
No matter how tempting the dishes on the dining table are, he bowed his head and drank a few mouthfuls of soup, then looked up and smiled at the delicious dishes, and then took a sip of fresh soup. After that, he didn't eat and eat vegetables. After he had eaten enough food and tasted enough vegetables, he had to drink another bowl of soup, and a meal was over.
the second is to have soup after meals.
first, he enjoyed the delicious food to his heart's content, and then he began to drink soup. Such people eat soup for almost as long as they eat. If you don't drink soup, you are not full and eat well.
Haikou people love soup, and naturally they are very particular about the preparation methods of soup, which are generally divided into three ways, namely, boiling soup, boiling soup and stewing soup, with different materials and preparation methods.
Boiling soup: Simple and quick is the characteristic of making boiling soup, which is often used by busy families. The raw materials of rolling soup are mainly seasonal vegetables, with fresh fish and shrimp. The egg drop soup, green vegetable soup and bean curd soup that Haikou people make every day are all boiled soup, which is made, cooked and used now and has the taste of modern fast food.
soup making: making with clay pot is the characteristic of soup making. Because it takes longer to cook soup than to boil it, Haikou people usually drink soup for dinner. The raw materials of soup can not be separated from pork, mutton, ribs, etc., that is, broth is the main material.
Stewed soup: Haikou people pay attention to making stewed soup with stews separated from water. People in Haikou often make stew to celebrate holidays or when guests come to the door. Chicken and duck are the most used raw materials for stew, plus some Chinese herbal medicines.
The reason why Haikou people like to drink soup is that they need to replenish water because of the heat mentioned above, and there is also a need to nourish their bodies. Haikou people believe that soup is rich in nutrition, and drinking soup is a good way to nourish and strengthen the body. Especially for people who are weak and sick at home, Haikou people always cook soup for him to drink, expecting him to recover soon.
northerners, please remember, if you are a guest in Hainan for sightseeing, don't be surprised if the host invites you to dinner and buys you a small bowl of soup before dinner. Almost every barbecue garden in Haikou has it, but the cooking method is different and the taste is different. Sanya also has a place to burn oysters, but it is far less than Haikou, so you have to look for it to find it.
In the past, the eating methods of oysters were mainly boiled, fried with ginger and onion, iron plate and crispy fried. I don't think the cooking methods such as fried ginger and scallion, iron plate and crispy fried are very interesting. It's better to cook them in white or use cheese butter to bring out the fragrant oyster flavor. Generally, the barbecue garden is dominated by boiled oysters. In the barbecue garden at the intersection of the World Trade Center, there are boiled oysters that are done wonderfully.
When eating oysters, the seasoning can't be ignored. Generally, "lemon juice with sauce" or mustard is the main ingredient. These sauces can make the original taste of oysters fresher. However, many people like to use lemon juice, because lemon juice can not only moderately reduce the algae smell of oysters, but also reflect the unique rich and sweet taste of oysters by its fragrance and sour taste. Of course, if it can be accompanied by some cold white wine, it will be more authentic. If you are not afraid of fishy smell, you don't need to use too complicated sauce, and the original flavor always shows the essence better. People who are afraid of the fishy smell may eat it by heating it for a long time, and it is good to taste it cooked, but don't use thick sauce to cover up the unique flavor of oysters.
When eating oysters, you can drink two glasses, which is the realm of eating. Some people say that drinking dry white wine or champagne is a good match. However, I think that the deep-sea oysters are translucent, and they are considered to be erotic fantasies. If you use a crystal clear and curvy red wine glass, pour half a cup of dry red wine, dip some mustard in the oysters (friends who like heavy taste or are afraid of choking may wish to dip in tomato sauce), pick up the oyster shell, stir up the whole oyster, chew slowly, and the taste nerve transmits a wild lust, and then look at the amber red wine. This way of eating, no matter from taste to vision, can be regarded as a very high sensory enjoyment. Li Jin was called "Jibei" cloth in ancient times, which is a kind of characteristic cloth woven by Li people with cotton hands in kapok capsules. It was famous as far back as the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was also the earliest cotton textile in China. Li Jin includes tube skirts, headscarves, flower ribbons, wrapping ribbons, bed sheets, quilts (known as "Yazhou quilt" in ancient times), etc. There are four major processes such as spinning, weaving, dyeing and embroidery, and the colors are generally red, yellow, black and white, which constitute patterns such as exotic flowers, exotic plants, birds, animals and people. Li brocade is fine, light, soft, white and durable. "Li brocade is brilliant as a cloud" is the heartfelt praise of the ancients for Li brocade technology. The skirt is similar in style to a short skirt.
