Since the second day of junior high school, many people go out with their families and are busy visiting relatives and friends. This visit, I have to mention another special food in Chaoshan area. Chaoyang Chaonan has maintained a folk tradition for many years, and the sweet soup used to entertain guests at home during the New Year is boiled with a local unique potato plant-ginger potato. In fact, no matter which family prepares new year's goods on the eve of the Spring Festival, ginger and potatoes are as essential as raw oranges. A few days before the Spring Festival, people brought back a basket of ginger potatoes from the market. The scene is quite a bit like the scene where provincial capital people compete for the flower market. Chaoyang people like ginger and potatoes. On New Year's Eve, one of several dishes is often sweet ginger and potatoes. When relatives and friends come to visit the New Year, the host will cook a bowl of ginger and potato slices soup to entertain them. According to Chaoyang folk custom, guests can give up other hospitality, but this bowl of ginger and potatoes must be eaten, because it shows the host's respect for the guests. Chaoyang people are very particular about eating ginger and potatoes. A potato chip soup with slices and boiled in water for a while. The potato chips in the soup are slightly curly and taste smooth. There are pieces of stewed ginger potatoes, with white sugar and lard simmered slowly, which tastes sweet and delicious; There are five kinds of fruits, such as peach, apricot and persimmon, which are cooked and mashed into mud, mixed with sugar and steamed at any time. Although ginger potatoes belong to potatoes, their value is not low. Some overseas Chinese and compatriots from Hong Kong and Macao who come to visit relatives will return to their places of residence and bring a basket of ginger and potatoes for overseas folks to taste. Some overseas Chinese who have been away from home for many years are eager to eat a bowl of ginger and potato soup as soon as they return to their ancestral home. Family members also understand their wishes. As soon as they entered the door, a bowl of sweet ginger and potato soup was served. Soup money is not the same as the sacrifices prepared by worshipping Mazu on Peace Day. On the first day of the first month, every family will get up early to make soup money. When making, the glutinous rice flour dough will be cooked first, put into a basin, and repeatedly stirred with chopsticks or wooden sticks to make the cooked rice flour dough more pure, smooth and elastic. After the dough is cooked, knead it into small pieces by hand and roll it out with sugar, peanuts, black sesame seeds, etc. Some will also put the cooked dumplings in a pot and fry them with onions until they are slightly crispy on both sides, and then cut them into pieces and put them on a plate. Mother duck twist is actually a stuffed glutinous rice dumpling, named after its appearance like a mother duck wandering on the water. It was originally a snack of the Lantern Festival, so it is commonly known as Yuanxiao. When making, the glutinous rice is ground into slurry, the water is removed, and the glutinous rice slurry skin is prepared to wrap the mung bean stuffing, red bean paste, taro paste, sesame sugar and other fillings respectively, knead into the shape of duck eggs, and cook in white sugar water until it floats on the surface. When eating, each filling in each bowl is different. In order to distinguish the difference of each filling, duck mothers with different fillings have different shapes when wrapping, for example, some are slightly round and some are slightly pointed, and each has its own marks. Before New Year's Eve, people in every household began to buy a large number of fresh shrimps, made palm-sized shrimp balls with horseshoes, white meat and raw flour, and then wrapped in a thin layer of pork net skin. After frying, it is fragrant and crisp, and it has become one of the condiments for the family in the festival.
