The morning tea culture has long traveled across the ocean with people from Fujian and Guangdong. Foreigners call Cantonese-style refreshments dimsum, and the pronunciation of phonetic symbols is the same as that of Cantonese-style cakes. Morning tea, also known as yuncha, is no different from the Cantonese version of drinking tea. Obviously, foreigners have also integrated into the morning tea culture.
Foreigners' enthusiasm for morning tea is no worse than that of Guangzhou locals. Everyone wants to queue up and wait for the freshly steamed barbecued pork buns and shrimp dumplings. They are willing to spend half a day sitting in the restaurant and regard morning tea as a fashion trend. However, in contrast, our good friends in northern China are not used to morning tea, and there are few morning Hong Kong-style restaurants in northern China.
First, the taste difference between the north and the south
Many southerners rushed to the southern region, and the biggest reaction after tasting the smaller southern region was that it was too sweet. From the taste point of view, the northeast people love the salty and delicious taste, and the ingredients and seasonings are very heavy, while the Cantonese dim sum tastes light, which makes the good friends in the northern region very unsuitable.
Especially pork ribs, chicken feet, money belly and barbecued pork buns, people in Northeast China always cook meat in the direction of soup, which is salty in taste and slightly heavy in weight, and is dominated by satiety. In the morning tea of Guangzhou people, this kind of food is dominated by sweetness and saltiness, and the tea with it is considered to be superior.
Second, the difference between drinking tea in the north and the south
Although the country is a strong tea country, the taste of people drinking tea in different regions is very different. Northeast people love "Biluochun" tea, a fragrant liquor, which has a light alcohol level. Green tea and jasmine tea are very popular. People in Fujian and Guangdong love teas with relatively high alcohol levels, such as green tea and oolong, with Fenghuang Danfir and Pu 'er tea as the main ones, which can improve the taste.
Third, the price of morning tea is relatively high.
In Guangzhou, people who have no worries about food and clothing will drink morning tea. The local young people joked that the people who wait for the opening of the morning tea restaurant are tourists except the retired old people. They are anxious to go to work. All the young people buy a rice rolls in Guangdong from the street, and after eating it, they plunge into their jobs.
But in the northeast, morning tea not only consumes time, but also costs too much. There are only four shrimp dumplings in a steamer, and the price tag will cost more than ten yuan, a plate of crispy chicken feet will cost nearly twenty yuan, and a morning tea will cost hundreds and eighty yuan, which is too low for the northeast people.
In addition, people in the northern region generally eat more than people in the southern region. If you want to be full, you need to order more snacks and spend more money. It's no wonder that people say that morning tea shops are the world of retired people, so they don't have to worry about time, energy and money. In short, they don't have to work in a hurry, and they also have retirement pensions.
Fourth, the cultural and artistic habits of the old people are different.
Old people who have morning tea use the restaurant as their social place. They come here to read newspapers, chat, talk about the past and the present, have a little tea and eat snacks. After half a day, they can afford it. However, the old people in the north don't have such a habit. We prefer to use outdoor as a place to chat, perhaps in the streets or in ecological parks.
Therefore, the morning tea in Guangzhou can't be sold in the northern region. I firmly believe that some people have thought about transferring the morning Hong Kong-style restaurant to the northern region, but the occupancy rate is not as good as that in the southern region. Therefore, some morning tea brands have opened new stores, and the precise positioning is basically in the south. But the most popular time in these morning tea shops is not in the morning, but often after work, young people can come to trade.
