As for the origin of Camellia oleifera, ethnic minorities explain it this way: in the past, the poor could not afford oil and meat, and it was very shabby to entertain guests at dinner. Especially in the night and winter in mountainous areas, the weather is very cold, and people can't resist the cold without oil and water in their stomachs. Therefore, people in ethnic minority areas come up with all kinds of economical ingredients, such as tea, peanuts, garlic, ginger, fried rice, salt and so on. While heating in the stove, beat it with a wooden handle, beat it into oil juice, and then boil it with water to make a pot of tea, which is rich in fragrance, bitter and salty with a layer of oil stains floating on it.
Villagers can use this kind of hot camellia to satisfy their hunger, and they can also entertain guests with snacks made of fried rice with chopped green onion. Over time, they have formed a unique way to entertain ethnic minorities. In Guangxi, basically all ethnic minorities have the habit of entertaining guests with camellia oleifera. The habits of making camellia oleifera vary from place to place, and the flavor of camellia oleifera is also different. It is really a rare thing to drink a bowl of satisfying and memorable camellia oleifera.
If you travel to Guangxi and are lucky enough to drink Camellia oleifera hosted by local ethnic minorities, you should pay attention to the following points:
1. The first kind of camellia oleifera tastes extremely bitter, so most people will not get used to it, so if you are afraid of bitterness, please drink the following kind of camellia oleifera.
2. After drinking Camellia oleifera and taking a sip of boiled water, you will be able to taste the sweetness and aftertaste of Camellia oleifera.
3, people who are not acclimatized, people who are tired of traveling and have a cold suggest drinking more bowls of camellia oleifera, which has the effect of treating diseases and health care.
