Wanyi can be divided into three large areas according to the terrain. The coastal areas of water towns, such as John Wan, Gaochun, Hong Mei, Shatian and Humen, are rich in fish and shrimp, and their tastes are mixed with salt and sweet. There is also a piece of Putian between mountains and rivers, mainly in Chashan, Da Lang, Dalingshan, Shipai and other places. Families raise more chickens, ducks and geese, and the taste is mainly sweet; The mountainous areas represented by towns such as Zhangmutou and Qingxi are mainly Hakka dishes with salty taste.

coastal areas of water towns: seafood produced by relishing rivers

Towns: John Wan, Daojiao, Gaobu, nave, Hong Mei, Shatian, Chang 'an, Humen, Mayong, etc.

Representative dishes: Wanxiang fish balls, Hongmeisheng bone rolling, nave beef brisket fried noodles, Hongmeisha linzai. The water town breeds rich products, which also brings unique food. The food stalls along the coast of Humen Xinwan and the farmhouse restaurants next to the water towns and reservoirs always attract many diners to drive. Just look at the parking situation to know the popularity of these seafood and river products.

the river in dongguan is rich in cockroaches. When the river is dry, you can catch it easily. In the past, the salted chop of the snail was a good seasoning in winter by grinding the snail, adding fried rice grains, canning, sealing for half a month, and steaming with pork. In the old society, when you left your hometown to make a living abroad, you must bring a bottle of salty clams to prevent you from "acclimatizing" in other places, so that you can feel homesick. Some rivers are polluted, and there are fewer cockroaches, which has become a particularly memorable delicacy.

where there is a village in Wanyi, there must be a pond, and pond fish is naturally a delicacy on the stove. Aconitum fish in Humen and Chang 'an are rich in fat. Baked aconite fish with salt is a famous dish in my hometown. Wax gourd, hairy melon, fermented bean with shredded ginger, yuba and bighead carp are the specialties of hometown of Gaobu, Daofen, Shijie and nave. The shad is bony, and people remove the bones and make pills with meat, which is crispy and sweet.

The Dongjiang River is rich in clams, which are cooked with pickles and dried with taro stalks. They are common family dishes in Gaosong, Hong Mei, Daofen and John Wan.

Fish, shrimps and crabs are the specialties along the coast, and they are famous for their shrimps and insects. Steamed prawns and roasted worms in bowls are still talked about by the old-timers today.

Putian slices: sauces and dishes taste better

Towns: Chashan, Da Lang, Liaobu, Dalingshan, Changping, Shipai, etc.

Representative dishes: Shipai boiled fish with white gourd, Tangxia Lu goose and Chashan salted shrimp

Because the terrain of Putian slices is between mountains and rivers, there are some in the water, but there are some in the mountains. There are fewer fields and more people in Putian area, and the locals are more proficient in cooking, and the dishes are few and refined.

They use their own beans as lobster sauce and soy sauce as seasoning. No matter they are mixed with fish, shrimps, crabs, melons and vegetables, they are very delicious. There is a saying in Dongguan: "Black olive, white olive, pine and cypress, sweet potato and taro, horseshoe hill". Da Lang uses fried rice with olive sauce as its hometown specialty. Steamed fish mouth with olive horn and steamed fish mouth with bean sauce are more popular and can lower blood pressure. Liaobu and Da Lang baked sweet-scented osmanthus fish with lobster sauce are famous hometown dishes. As opposed to steamed chicken with sausage as the "romantic emperor", steamed chicken with lobster sauce is called "romantic queen" by the people.

It is said that some restaurants and restaurants go to the farmers in Putian to look for lobster sauce and soybean paste in order to make their dishes taste better. A chef also told reporters that those excellent sauces in Dongguan can't be bought in shopping malls. You must go to the farmer's house to sell 31 yuan in a barrel, but the taste is excellent.

Mountain films: brewed home-cooked tastes

Towns: Zhangmutou, Qingxi, Fenggang, etc.

Representative dishes: salted chicken, Hakka-brewed tofu, pot soup, plum meatloaf, and Zhangmutou-brewed shad

In addition to the famous salted chicken, Hakka dishes also have a feature of "brewed", which is almost desirable. The reporter saw the stuffed beans in a home-cooked dish called Food and Clothing Zone in John Wan, Dongguan, which was lively and lovely. It is simply that anything you can think of can be used to "brew". A professor at Dongguan Party School believes that it is precisely because Hakka people migrate to various places and live in mountainous areas, which is very inclusive, so they "brew" a lot of delicious food, and the things so "brewed" can not deteriorate for a long time.
