The word "cold" for chilling is pronounced as "Mao Leng" in Cantonese, which is the same as "person" in Chaozhou dialect-the word "cold" here only means Chaozhou food.

The "beating" of chills refers to eating in restaurants, which originated from the "beating the tip" and "beating the shop" in the history of Song and Yuan Dynasties.

Unlike going to Chaozhou restaurant to eat "nine bowls" (the same as "nine bowls"/"nine baskets"), "chilling" is more specific to eating Chaozhou snacks; Different from handmade Chaozhou cuisine, "chilling" is more casual and civilian.

In the sixties and seventies, "chilling" was an alternative lunch snack for wage earners (related to the fact that there were many chaozhou people settlements in China and Hongkong, and the dishes in family-style Chaozhou restaurants were usually cooked in advance at that time); After work, three or five confidants meet at the relaxed Chaozhou restaurant and big-name stalls to have a "chill" friendship.

Chaozhou cuisine is one of the three major schools of Cantonese cuisine (the other two schools are Guangfu cuisine and Dongjiang cuisine respectively).

In addition to the famous Chaozhou frozen crab, Chaozhou pink fruit, Qingxin Pill mung bean crisp, anti-sand taro (fried taro with sugar) and so on, there are also brine platters (braised goose, goose web wing, red sausage, cuttlefish, pig intestine, goose intestine, mountain intestine, precious liver …), big-eyed chicken, pork red with water, and pork belly with mustard.
