Greedy is "fresh"
Everything should be freshly baked and cooked.
But there is a Cantonese dish.
Compared with others, it is "stale", but people all over Guangzhou and even China love it.
Even people who no longer like frozen food.
Can't resist its delicious taste.
Its name is canned lobster sauce and herring.
On hearing the name, I seem to smell it. After opening the package,
The aroma of lobster sauce and shad is tangy.
If there is a bowl of rice next to it.
I'm afraid I can eat several bowls
Current market prices of canned douchi and shad.
They are all around 13 yuan.
Almost every household must have people.
This doesn't seem unusual.
But, you know, in the 1980s, this was a luxury that only local tyrants could afford.
What I want to talk about today is canned lobster sauce and herring ~
France was the first country in the world to invent canned food.
At that time, it was to deal with the problem of food storage during the war.
The French military rewarded the method of preserving food.
And the solution to this problem is a candy chef, Appel.
(France during World War II)
Later, until the end of the Qing dynasty.
It finally caught up with foreigners' merchant ships.
Landing in China together.
According to the records of Guangzhou.
Guangzhou Xiang Canning Factory was established in 1893.
It is the first canned food factory in China.
The world's first can of "canned lobster sauce and herring" was born here.
(Xiang Cannery)
The production technology of canned food was learned from foreign countries.
However, the formula of Douchi shad is an authentic Guangdong specialty.
Because shad is a warm-water fish.
It can't stay inside.
And what can meet this condition is our Pearl River Delta.
Nanfanshun is the best place to produce shad.
Canned herring is very popular.
Half the credit goes to douchi.
Douchi, which is rich in Yangjiang and Luoding in Guangdong, is full of color, flavor and taste.
Two Guangdong specialties make a delicious meal.
The washed shad will be squeezed and dehydrated under several tons of pressure.
This kind of shad meat will be stronger and more delicious.
Then fry the shad until it is crisp.
Then put it into the prepared canned lobster sauce.
In the process of high-temperature sterilization
The aroma of lobster sauce will penetrate into the fish from the outside to the inside.
There is also a formula for curing fermented soybean and shad.
This is a secret system for hundreds of years.
Although the times are changing, the taste still exists.
So a can of classic Douchi shad was born.
Dried bamboo is a famous brand of canned shad.
Its canned food is especially excellent.

Although it still has old rivals such as Eagle Money, Pearl River Bridge and Golden Cherry Blossom.
But what people remember most is.
"Local Lang, a daughter-in-law from other places" interrupted its advertisement.
However, it is not the oldest one.
The first can of lobster sauce herring was produced on 1893.
Use the trademark "Eagle Coin"
So there was that sentence.
"Centennial Eagle Money originated from Douchi shad"
Later, Xiang was renamed Guangqixiang.
19 12 registered the trademark "Eagle Money" in Hong Kong.
Yingqian brand canned shad won the national quality "Gold Award".
The predecessor of the "Red Factory" that was said to be demolished a few months ago.
It's Eagle Money Cannery.
So far, you can still learn from these photos.
Glance at the corner of the magnificent cannery.
Because I have modern canning technology for a long time.
China's first pot of eight-treasure porridge was also cooked here.
The first can of herbal tea was also born here.
I have to say that there are many firsts in the history of canned food in China.
They all gave it to Eagle Money Cannery.
1Late 9th century
There is an upsurge of "going to South Asia" in the Pearl River Delta.
Their families will fry shad themselves before leaving home.
Add delicious lobster sauce and soybean oil.
Store in a crock to prevent decay.
People who eat more will smell business opportunities.
Therefore, the batch production of canned Douchi shad comes from this.
But there was a Japanese war of aggression against China outside the situation at that time.
There are some factors such as low level of raw materials and poor fresh-keeping ability.
There are many bumps in the process of canning.
As a result, there are not many finished products, which are very precious.
So during that time, the impression of cans has always been
Mysterious and fashionable food
But even in this harsh entrepreneurial environment,
Canned lobster sauce and herring still "fight our way out"
Going abroad became the favorite of Nanyang people at that time.
(New Express)
When I was a child, I ate porridge or drank porridge at home.
My father will go out to buy a can of lobster sauce and shad.
Squeeze out the fish, then pour the lobster sauce and soybean oil into the rice.
Stir it.
A bowl of ordinary white rice instantly becomes a delicious dish.
(Official map of Guangdong Ganzhu Canning Co., Ltd.)
If the fish is finished, you can also stir-fry the remaining lobster sauce.
It has become a new dish.
Mr. Cai Lan said:
"When you are cold, you are hungry for a bowl of hot white rice.
Eat a piece of black beans and shad.
There is no more wonderful and satisfying meal. "
That's it. Cantonese people use this can of black bean and herring.
Feeding every child who doesn't want to eat fills every homesick heart that can't go home.
(official map of Guangdong Eagle Money Co., Ltd.)
No matter how delicious each can of lobster sauce and herring is.
It will still expire.
But the shelf life of hometown flavor is forever.
= conclusion =
In fact, when it comes to the next meal, besides fermented bean curd and shad, there are also fermented bean curd and olive vegetables, which are all our favorite meals when we were young.
Now that material life is getting better and better, it is not difficult to taste delicacies, but not many people can recall the warmth of that year.
I don't know what impressed you most when you were a child. Come and tell me in the comments section ~
