Shuoshan snacks

There have always been two attitudes towards eating, one is "eat well" and the other is "delicious". "Eat well" means to be full and nutritious to meet people's physiological needs. "Delicious" means paying attention to the taste of food, which is a kind of enjoyment and belongs to the spiritual level. Snacks are delicious food. What is a snack? Snacks are snacks other than meals, that is, "snacks". They only touch their hearts, not their stomachs. In the face of snacks other than dinner, you can choose to eat or not. You don't have to care about quantity and quality, as long as it's delicious. From this point of view, pure food should be snacks and the like.

In the past, Chaoshan people used to greet people with "eat well", which showed that eating was a problem at that time. Nowadays, not many people greet others like this. With the progress of the times, we have basically solved the problem of food and clothing. People are not satisfied with filling their stomachs, but want to eat more tastefully and emotionally. Therefore, it is a fashionable topic to talk about consumption after food and clothing, snacks and food.

Looking back on the course of holding Chaoshan Food Festival in Shantou, we can also see the development trend of food consumption. From 65438 to 0988, Shantou began to hold Chaoshan Food Festival, which has been held for 8 times so far. At first, the highlight of the activity was to exchange cooking skills and evaluate them in various restaurants as Chaozhou cuisine for dinner. Of course, we are facing industries and high-consumption classes. From 65438 to 0999, the fifth Chaoshan Food Festival began to try to play Chaoshan snacks. In the flavor hall of the hotel, snacks from all over Chaoshan were displayed in front of the public and received unexpected welcome. The results were out of control, and the subsequent Chaoshan Food Festival held Chaoshan snack temple fairs and tasting activities in the open-air square, and each session was hot. This shows that people are more and more inclined to pursue food enjoyment on the premise of "eating well".

Chaoshan is one of the famous snack areas. Many snacks are not only loved by local people, but also popular in other places. Eight Chaoshan snacks were awarded the title of "Chinese Famous and Excellent Snacks" at the National Famous and Excellent Snacks Variety Appraisal Meeting-"Chinese Famous and Excellent Snacks Commendation Meeting". Why are Chaoshan snacks so attractive? What are its characteristics?

First of all, it is natural to be born in poverty.

Countless local snacks or dim sum in China were either born in the court or produced by the people. Chaoshan snacks are almost all folk original and have been circulated among the people. This is determined by the fact that Chaoshan is located in the "corner of the country at the end of the province" in history, far from the national political center, the commercial society formed late and the social wealth was not high. Several Chaoshan snacks are hand-made: baked oyster in Xitianxiang, goose, pig's foot rice with big sister and rice dumplings with mother's palace. Which name is not simple and straightforward, and the local flavor is tangy. Throughout Chaoshan snacks, there are roughly three channels for their formation.

1. Hail to God

The coastal climate in Chaoshan is hot and humid, and people are prone to get sick. In addition, the risk of offshore operation is high, labor and harvest are out of proportion, and there are many unexpected factors. When people can't predict their own destiny, they often pin their hopes on the blessing of the gods. In addition, in the era of material scarcity, people can also give themselves a reason to improve their lives through worship activities. Therefore, the old Chaoshan folk custom has the characteristics of multi-season and multi-gods. Many Chaoshan snacks were originally offerings for worship, such as "colorful fruits" and "sweet fruits" in the Spring Festival, "noodle fairy" in Mazusheng's birthday, "Zongqiu" in the Dragon Boat Festival and "moon cakes" in the Mid-Autumn Festival. As the saying goes, "When the season is ripe, it is ripe.

Step 2 supplement snacks for dinner

Different from Cantonese snacks, these Chaoshan snacks are snacks for the leisure class to pass the time, but for the coolies in rural towns to satisfy their hunger. Hipsters are used to eating porridge. On the one hand, there was not enough food earlier. On the other hand, the climate is natural. People who do rough work will eat several bowls of porridge in the morning, but they can't stand it when they sweat. They were hungry before dinner. At this time, it was like finding a savior when you met a food stall walking around the streets. He can supplement his physical strength with a few cents to meet his temporary needs. At that time, there were grass cakes (bean jelly), tofu and various sweet soups to cool off the heat in summer. There are hot beef ball soup, leeks and water chestnuts in winter. You don't need a spoon to eat hay Pick up a shallow bowl, spin it around the bowl with your mouth and wipe it with a cloth. Cool! Beef balls were originally Hakka snacks. After Shantou opened its port, mountain products went abroad, foreign goods entered the mountains, and the water traffic was busy. Handi area in Shantou used to be the berth of guest cargo ships, and many guest cargo ships stayed here for the night. In the evening, there are Hakkas rowing boats and selling beef ball soup as snacks for the owner of the cargo ship. Later, beef balls were reformed and innovated by Chaoshan people, and kway teow was added to the soup to become beef ball kway teow, which is still Chaoshan people's favorite snack until now. Later, fish balls, shrimp balls, cuttlefish balls and pork balls were cloned, creating the "meatball series" in Chaoshan. The "Xinxing Street Beef Ball" in "Chinese Famous Snacks" is made by Shantou people. Nowadays, when it comes to beef balls, everyone thinks it's trendy, but in fact, it's the product of hipsters' utilitarianism. The intelligence of hipsters is fully displayed in a small ball.

3. Home-cooked snacks

The most delicious snacks are all kinds of home cooking made by Chaoshan's clever wife to alleviate children's hunger. Such as pumpkins, autumn melons and tomatoes. In the past, before the season came, the children clamored for "cakes", and the daughter-in-law at home had to find ways to send these greedy children away. Some farmers in Chaoshan rural areas have sweet potato powder. They pick fruits and vegetables grown in their own fields, mix them together and fry them in oil, which becomes a unique snack. When I was young, I ate the "cold porridge" that my grandmother mixed with sweet potato powder overnight. This is really unique.

There is a snack called "pig's head zongzi", which is said to be made unintentionally by Chenghai people. In the early years, Chenghai countryside had the custom of having a Lantern Festival pig race. Every seafood family has to kill pigs to worship their ancestors. After a family sacrificed their ancestors, the remaining pig heads could not be eaten for a while, so they chopped the pig's head meat and made it into "pig's head dumplings" with seasoning, which was particularly delicious. So it spread and became a flavor snack.

In the 1920s and 1930s, Chaoshan snacks entered the market as commodities, which was the heyday of Shantou's commercial economy. At that time, the small park was crowded with shops, restaurants and hotels, forming a typical consumer market. As a kind of food, Chaoshan snacks can naturally find their place here. For example, the time-honored Aixi Regan Noodles, delicious snacks, Xitianxiang Oyster Sauce and Malao Palace jiaozi all entered the small park at that time. As mentioned above, snacks have more cultural significance in diet, so it is easy to become a symbol of local culture and deeply imprinted in people's minds. Have you noticed that when many hipsters living abroad arrive in Shantou, the first thing they do is to go straight to the small park and have a delicious Chaoshan snack in the old snack bar to overcome their lingering homesickness.

Chaoshan snacks are rooted in the people. They are not attached to official culture and scholar-bureaucrat culture. Since their birth, they have spread among the people with a natural attitude, which conforms to the natural law of natural selection. Therefore, we can taste so much local snacks now.

Second, the materials are simple and the taste is unique.

Cantonese dim sum is famous for its foreign flavor, such as cream buns, egg tarts and barbecued pork buns. Shanghai snacks are famous for seafood, such as crab roe soup packets and minced fish spring rolls. Northern snacks are mainly pasta. Chaoshan snacks are nothing without rice. A word "Guo" in Chaoshan dialect summarizes the main raw materials of Chaoshan snacks. In the Chaoshan dictionary, "fruit" is explained like this, a kind of fruit with rice flour as the skin and stuffing. Leek steamed bun is called "rice-free steamed bun" because its skin is sweet potato powder and its stuffing is vegetables, which shows the position of rice in snacks. Earlier, the ancestors of Chaoshan moved south from the Central Plains to Chaoshan. According to the custom of ancestral home, pasta is the fruit of ancestor worship, and wheat is not produced in the south, so rice can only be used as fruit. This is the origin of "Guo". Later, the raw materials and practices of sacrificial food continued to innovate and develop, and people called all sacrificial packages "pots". Hipsters are really good at using rice as a snack. It can be a kind of raw material that is both skin and stuffing-"Bao Fan". If there is a snack called "Guo Tao", glutinous rice flour is used as skin and glutinous rice is used as stuffing, it is not only boring, but also very fragrant and delicious.

Chaoshan is rich in sweet potatoes, which are flat and cheap, and are also widely used in snacks. Sweet potato powder can be used as the skin of snacks, such as "crystal ball" and "leek cake" with sweet and salty stuffing. It can also be mixed with fruits and steamed into "Maling potato cake", "taro cake" and "horseshoe cake". It can also be made into "cake baked sweet potato" and "sweet potato soup". Although sweet potato comes from humble origins, it is a big family in Chaoshan snacks.

Different from Shanghai and other coastal areas, Chaoshan snacks use less seafood, such as lobster, shark's fin and crab. One of the reasons is that the Chaoshan climate is hot and seafood is difficult to store. In addition, this is also caused by its civilian characteristics.

All coastal areas are rich in oysters, but only Chaoshan is the place where oysters are made into delicious snacks-"roasted oysters". Its practice is also very simple, that is, the sweet potato powder and oysters are mixed and fried into cakes, and duck eggs are poured on them, but the taste is extremely unique, crisp outside and soft inside, fragrant and tender, and it has become a famous snack.

Throughout Chaoshan snacks, vegetarian food is the main food, but there are few fish. Its material selection is simple, and most of them are common crops-rice, sweet potatoes and vegetables, but they have won people's favor with their unique pastoral flavor and are deeply loved by people from all walks of life because of their low price.

Third, it is delicious and full of interest.

Since Chaoshan snacks are not "good to eat" but "delicious", people should pay attention to their formal beauty while paying attention to food. In the past, when offering sacrifices to gods in Chaoshan rural areas, people liked to stick paper-cuts on various tributes. Some animal patterns we saw in Chaoshan folk traditional paper-cut were used to decorate certain foods in the old days, such as geese, fish and pigs. Its purpose is nothing more than to make God favor those things that have been decorated, and hope that his wish can be realized. This is also one of the origins of human culture and art. The Mid-Autumn Festival in Yue Bai has the content of praying for scholars to learn, and the cultural atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival is relatively strong. The moon cakes in Mid-Autumn Festival are particularly beautiful in appearance. People use glutinous rice, mung beans, sesame seeds, peanuts and so on. Take this as raw material, and print pomegranate, Aquarius, butterfly, magpie and other patterns symbolizing auspiciousness, peace, happiness and wishful thinking to make cakes. On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, every family member has to make a sacrifice to enjoy the moon. Mooncakes and fruits of different colors and shapes, such as pink and white, are bathed in clear and soft light and shadow, which is no less than an art exhibition on earth. The Mid-Autumn Festival is also the happiest festival for children. Making moon cakes, offering sacrifices, enjoying Yue Bai and eating moon cakes and fruits are interesting and delicious. Nowadays, people not only like these beautiful moon cakes, but some people are even fascinated by the woodcut moon cakes and collect them as collectibles.

In addition, jiaozi tied into sachets, peaches like jasper, crystal balls and so on are all very elegant and interesting appearances.

Form can't be eaten, but form can stimulate people's appetite, and hipsters have long understood the truth of "food".

Fourth, pay attention to health and pursue fashion.

Chaoshan snacks advocate nature and pay attention to health. People don't have to worry about eating too much fat and calories while satisfying food addiction. As mentioned above, Chaoshan snacks are mainly vegetarian, and fish are rarely seen. Some snacks are also added with Chinese herbal medicines and become medicinal diets. Such as mousetraps, shops, etc. They are all snacks made of herbs, which is very in line with today's diet fashion. Not only that, the cooking method of Chaoshan snacks is also very scientific, more light and less spicy, more cooking and less frying. Hipsters also invented a way of cooking with oil, which is the most special cooking method I have ever seen. The method is to boil peanut oil with warm fire, then put the steamed snacks into it and cook it with slow fire until it is hot inside and outside. The snacks served on the plate taste like peanut oil, but they don't have the dry feeling of frying. It's really a must.

As the Chaoshan proverb says, "eat seasonal fruits" means that you should eat seasonal food. Seasonal food is not only delicious, but also can achieve the purpose of health preservation. For example, eating rat koji fruit and vegetable head fruit in the Spring Festival, eating Zhiguo in the Dragon Boat Festival and eating Pu Guo Zi in Tomb-Sweeping Day are not only delicious, but also can clear away heat and achieve the purpose of "preventing diseases in season".

In recent years, Chaoshan snacks have been reformed and innovated in raw materials and shapes to meet the fashion demand. Add more kinds of fruits and vegetables to the raw materials, such as spinach, Euryale ferox, pumpkin pie, etc. The shape is getting smaller and smaller, so that people can taste more diverse foods without changing their food intake.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) The present situation and development of Chaoshan snacks

At present, the current situation of Shantou snack market is that the business forms are diverse, the varieties are complete, and the business outlets are mainly scattered and properly concentrated, which can basically meet the consumption needs of the local market. As far as business forms are concerned, one is a simple takeaway shop. It is operated by set meal stalls, snack bars, food stalls in vegetable markets and grocery stores. They provide customers with finished or semi-finished products, such as zongzi balls, steamed dumplings, crystal balls and so on. Now you can buy it home to eat. Meatballs, casserole, taro casserole, etc. To provide more semi-finished products for customers to take home for processing; The second is the form of take-away food. It is run by snack bars and time-honored snack bars. For example, beef ball snack bars all over the city are shops that make beef ball soup, beef ball kway teow and take-away beef balls. Time-honored "fragrance" snack bar and "Aixi" dry noodle shop are also this kind of business form; The other is a snack bar, which is mainly characterized by selling and eating now. For example, the Chaoshan snack buffet in the restaurant of China Travel Agency is free to choose 25 yuan for each person. On the other hand, Chaoxiangcheng is a snack supermarket. Nowadays, it is not difficult for local people to get together at home or outside and entertain foreign guests to taste Chaoshan snacks.

Although Chaoshan snacks are booming in Shantou, it is difficult for foreigners who have never been to Chaoshan to find Chaoshan snacks. After tasting Chaoshan snacks, many guests in Shantou praised the delicacy of Chaoshan snacks. However, when they want to buy some to take away, they often regret that the store can't provide convenient packaging. Cantonese cuisine, seaweed and northern snacks can often be seen in major supermarkets in Shantou, but local snacks are rare. However, Chaoshan snacks in Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other cities are often not authentic enough. This shows that the product level of Chaoshan snacks is low, and many operators are still stuck in the traditional business model of small vendors and vendors, lacking modern marketing concepts, and the publicity, packaging and circulation channels are lagging behind, making it difficult to get out of Chaoshan, enter foreign markets, broaden business channels and form scale effects.

Secondly, the business philosophy of most time-honored Chaoshan snacks is outdated, and they are unwilling or afraid to add gold and silver to the old brands. For example, the time-honored snacks such as Laoma Meng Zongqiu, Aixi Dry Noodles and Xiangxiang (White Peach Blossom), which once won the title of "Chinese Famous Snacks", have simple faces, single varieties and outdated management methods. As a result, the sales area is getting narrower and narrower, and some of them are even unsustainable. How to correctly handle the relationship between inheriting tradition and reform and innovation is an urgent problem for these time-honored brands. "Fuhecheng Beef Restaurant" was a famous snack bar in 1990s. It mainly sells beef series snacks, such as beef hot pot, beef balls and beef ball kway teow. In order to expand its business and occupy the market, 1998, the store took the lead in registering its name in the State Trademark Office and created a famous brand. At the same time, it changed its business model and expanded its storefront, with hot pot in winter and air conditioning in summer. Adopt flexible and diverse management methods such as selling and eating now, and delivering food to your door. Due to market demand, business is booming. In just a few years, six chain stores have been opened one after another, and one has become a leader in Shantou snack bar. Its business model is worth learning.

Chaoshan snacks were only developed as a food category in recent years. Through the continuous excavation, promotion, publicity and promotion of catering industry, tourism industry and media, the commercial market has developed steadily and its popularity has been improved. Chaoshan snacks have won this honor in the national famous snack competition for two consecutive years, and so far, eight Chaoshan snacks have won the golden signboard of "Chinese famous snacks". It is reported that in June 5438+February this year, the third Chinese Famous Snacks Commendation Conference and Chinese Famous Snacks Culture Festival will be held in Shantou, and the ninth Chaoshan Food Festival will be held this year, including our forum "Eating in Shantou Chaoshan Food and the World". These activities will promote the innovative development of Chaoshan snacks and open up broader prospects for promoting Chaoshan cuisine.
