Is it true that Shanxi people like to be jealous? How much vinegar does Shanxi eat on average every year?
? As an out-and-out northerner, I have never been to Shanxi, but I know something about the rumors that Shanxi people are jealous. First of all, the four famous vinegars in China are Shanxi aged vinegar, Jiangsu Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar, Sichuan Langzhong Baoning vinegar and Fujian Yongchun aged vinegar. Shanxi people are jealous in various film and television works and reports. So why are Shanxi people so jealous? First of all, there are two ways to answer this question. From the local environment in Shanxi, the local water quality in Shanxi is hard. In ancient times, people didn't pay attention to drinking hot water. Drinking a lot of raw water for a long time in Gurgu City sometimes leads to physical discomfort, softening impurities in the body and avoiding complications such as stones. In addition, most of the local specialties in Shanxi are pasta, such as small noodles. This kind of pasta does have the function of satisfying hunger, but it is not easy to digest if it is used for a long time. A large number of pasta is deposited in the stomach, and relying solely on gastric acid is a great load on body function. And vinegar can help digestion of food and promote the production of gastric acid? Therefore, due to various factors, it is one of the indispensable condiments for Shanxi people's daily life. Nowadays, jealousy has become one of the local cultures of Shanxi people, just as Sichuanese love spicy food, and Northeastern people prefer spicy food, etc. It is the tastes of these different specialties that make up the eight major cuisines in China. When it comes to how much vinegar Shanxi can consume in a year, some data show that the per capita vinegar in Shanxi Province is more than ten kilograms, which is the province with the most jealousy in the country. According to the proportion of the year, it is estimated that there are about 200 thousand tons now. What do you think?
