The folk customs in Shanwei area are simple, and the people in Shanwei are warm and hospitable. Whenever guests arrive, they should be warmly treated and treated with Shanwei's special tea. There are quite a few related teas in Shanwei, such as the salty tea, bean rice tea, sesame tea, vegetable tea, kway teow tea and Hakka rice tea in Luhe County, which have become a local tea culture and dietary feature. Here, I only introduce my favorite two kinds of authentic Shanwei city tea: salty tea and vegetable tea.

salty tea, also known as tea-smashing, in Shanwei area, almost every household has a set of tea-smashing tools (tooth bowls, wood-smashing) and some salty tea materials (green tea, salt, sesame seeds, peanuts, fried rice, etc.). Whenever relatives and friends visit, the hospitable Shanwei people immediately start making tea-smashing entertainment, which makes the guests feel more cordial. In fact, without the arrival of guests, Shanwei people are also used to making their own tea-smashing food, or calling their neighbors, or their own people, and eating up a pot of tea as usual. I remember in the past, when I lived in my hometown and lived in a narrow alley, I could always hear the children's heavenly cries every day: my mother-in-law came to my house to eat salty tea, and my aunt came to my house to eat salty tea ...

The simplest salty tea is made in a very simple process. First, I put the green tea into a grinding bowl (a special pottery bowl with teeth on the inner wall), grind the tea finely, and then put sesame seeds into the grinding bowl to grind it. It is said that just boiled water rushed out of the tea can be "harmonious." Put the ground salty tea in a bowl, and soak the cooked peanuts, sesame seeds, fried rice and other materials into the salty tea, so that a bowl of sweet and mellow salty tea is finished. Eating this bowl of salty tea with the fragrance of tea, the crispness of fried rice, the crispness of peanuts and the fragrance of sesame seeds, the satisfaction in my heart and the simple happiness can only be truly realized by those who have eaten it.

In addition to the simplest methods mentioned above (tea and sesame), people often add other auxiliary materials according to different seasons or personal preferences. Such as: or Artemisia argyi, or lemon, or mint, or houttuynia cordata, or honeysuckle ... In summer, Huangpi jujube tea will be beaten. Although it is varied, it also proves the intelligence and wisdom of Shanwei people and dares to innovate constantly. It is said that eating tea in the midsummer can relieve summer heat, quench thirst, promote fluid production and moisten the lungs, refresh the mind and eliminate fatigue. Eating tea in the cold winter can help you get into metabolism and keep warm from the cold. Salty tea is delicious and can bring benefits to everyone's health. So she has always been one of the most popular teas in Shanwei people's minds.

after all this talk, the richer and more delicious tea is vegetable tea. Vegetable tea is a folk food with folk customs, traditions and health. Vegetable tea is a traditional festival food in Hailufeng area. The raw materials of vegetable tea are: spinach, celery, Chinese cabbage, rice vermicelli, lettuce, green garlic, peas, mushrooms, vermicelli, shrimp, lean pork, sausage, squid, squid, shrimp, sausage, bone soup or chicken soup and so on. That sounds complicated. In fact, the practice of cutting vegetables and teas in different parts of Shanwei is not the same. Let me talk about the most authentic vegetables and teas in Shanwei City. The frying method of vegetable tea has to go through several processes. First, wash and chop the selected vegetables such as spinach, celery, rice vermicelli, lettuce and peas, soak the rice vermicelli, and then cut the dried squid, shrimp, dried mushrooms, sausages and lean meat into pieces. Only in this way can you start cooking tea. First, heat the pot, then pour in the oil, stir-fry those dishes with strong fire, then stir-fry seafood, sausage and meat respectively, and put the fried dishes and meat separately in the plate. After all the vegetables and meat are cooked, you can start eating vegetables and tea. Among the dishes and meat, you can choose your favorite dishes and meat and put them in a bowl, about 6% of which, and then spoon the bone soup or chicken soup cooked before in the bowl, and then add peanuts, fried rice, or some preserved vegetables (dried radish) or coriander, or sprinkle the most natural "preserved iron" or pepper or pepper to enhance the flavor, which is the most authentic seaside. Smelling the aroma of vegetables, seafood and bone soup, watching such a bowl of green and beautiful vegetable tea and eating such a bowl of vegetable tea makes you feel that you are eating the freshest vegetables, the most delicious seafood and the most nutritious bone soup, and this kind of meat and vegetable collocation is balanced in nutrition, which is in line with the current healthy eating concept of low fat, less oil and non-fried vegetable tea. This kind of vegetable tea will never make you tired of eating, and the more you eat, the more you want to eat.

Vegetable tea is a traditional holiday food in Hailufeng area. Vegetable tea is also called "Ding Tea". Generally, it is from the 1th to 2th day of the first lunar month, and the opening day of Haifeng and Shanwei City is the 13th day of the first month. Previously, only on the night of the 13th day of the first month did every household stir-fry tea to entertain friends and relatives and neighbors. In my memory, when the 13th day of the first month came, my mother was nervous about it, which was second only to welcoming the Spring Festival. I went to the market early that morning to buy the freshest vegetables, pork, pig bones, chicken ... Some ingredients, such as dried squid and sausage, were arranged years ago. Before the 13th cooking tea, my mother always assigned me to cut dried squid and cut large dried squid into thin strips, which was also a test of kung fu. But at that time, everyone was very busy and felt that it was a holiday, a day for many relatives and friends to visit my home. For such a day, I was particularly looking forward to it. At 7: or 8: on the night of the 13th day of the first month, guests arrive one after another. My mother is always the most enthusiastic one. The more guests eat, the happier she will be. When every guest arrives, she always urges people to eat more bowls and add more. . The happiest thing now is that you don't have to wait until the 13th night of the first month of each year to eat vegetable tea. Now in Shanwei, you can eat this kind of vegetable tea at any time at noon or at night, or any virtuous woman will invite you to eat it irregularly.

After searching the information about vegetables and tea on the Internet, I found that a set of popular food program "Taste of China" by CCTV attracted many people's attention. Hanzong Chen, the "best folk eater" recommended by the cooperative media Southern Metropolis Daily, won the "Golden Chopsticks Award" in the recent broadcast program. In the finale, the food work that Oyster conquered all the judges was an ancient food: vegetables and tea, which was being declared as an intangible cultural heritage. Seeing such news really makes me feel proud and proud as a Shanwei person. Support Shanwei's vegetables and teas to declare intangible cultural heritage.

oh, which kind of tea do friends like in Shanwei? Come on, come to Shanwei! You won't know which one is your favorite until you have tasted it yourself. Even if you don't like these teas, there are other delicious and distinctive snacks in Shanwei, such as: fair beef jerky, Meilong vegetable and fruit millet, Qilang Mazai, Hailian lard sugar, pork bean cake, sesame oil cake, salty and sweet pancake, Dingliu cake, vegetable cake and roll ...
