Chinese culture has a history of 5,111 years. As an important part of Chinese culture, food culture has a long history. In the long river of history, the change of dynasties, the rise and fall of schools and the change of climate have led to the gradual formation of unique culture and eating habits in each place.

China is vast in territory and abundant in natural resources. There are countless local specialties, but generally speaking, we divide them into eight cuisines, namely Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Guangdong cuisine, Jiangsu cuisine, Fujian cuisine, Zhejiang cuisine, Hunan cuisine and Anhui cuisine. Guangzhou cuisine is a typical example of Cantonese cuisine.

When it comes to Guangzhou's delicious food, many people immediately think of boiled chicken. Guangzhou's white-cut chicken is very careful in both material selection and practice. The selection of materials is the famous Sanhuang chicken, which is even more unique, almost unique in the country. The boiled chicken has reached an optimal situation. If it is cooked more, it will be too firewood to eat, and if it is cooked less, it will be uncooked.

at this time, the meat quality of the white-cut chicken is the most smooth. With the dip made of ginger, onion and soy sauce, it not only ensures the original flavor of the chicken, but also does not make the chicken taste too light and tasteless. Smooth chicken, with just the right salty dip, makes people linger, wanting more.

boiled chicken can be said to be the essence of Guangzhou cuisine, but the essence of Guangzhou cuisine is never just boiled chicken.

Eat in Guangzhou, wear in Suzhou, play in Hangzhou and die in Liuzhou

"Eat in Guangzhou" is a long-standing saying in China. Maybe many people laugh it off and disagree. But there is a reason, and this is really more than just talk. Guangzhou is located in the south, with dense rivers and dense jungles, close to the coast, and all kinds of delicacies are readily available and inexhaustible. When Shenzhen was a small fishing village, Guangzhou was already a famous food city in the north and south of the river.

Due to its geographical location, Guangzhou was an important trading port in the Qing Dynasty. People from all walks of life gathered in Guangzhou for trade, which promoted the development of Guangzhou's commerce and also promoted the development of Guangzhou's catering industry invisibly.

People from all over the world have brought all kinds of commodities, as well as their eating habits and cooking skills. Guangzhou's food culture can gather the strengths of hundreds of schools and meet the wonders of the world. It not only brings together the food flavors of Guangdong and Guangxi, but also absorbs the cooking characteristics of Sichuan and Hunan. It can be said that Guangzhou's cuisine is "strange", "simple" and "fresh". The "wonder" of the essence of Guangzhou cuisine

If Cantonese people dare to eat anything, they hold up half the sky of Cantonese people.

snakes, I believe many people will avoid them as soon as they hear them, but people in Guangzhou are fascinated. Turn this unavoidable thing into a fascinating food.

the more people are, the better they are.

The history of people eating snakes in Guangzhou can be traced back to thousands of years ago. At that time, Guangzhou belonged to the land of barbarians in China, with dense jungles and rivers. Clever Guangzhou people use local materials, and all kinds of snakes are collected in the plate and become food in their mouths.

Eating snakes in Guangzhou is not only delicious, but also unique in name. It is called "dragon", and the most famous one is Long Hudou. This dragon and tiger is not a real dragon and tiger, but a snake and a cat.

The origin of "Long Hudou" also comes from an interesting story. It is said that in the Qing Dynasty, Kong Yin, a scholar from Shaoguan, Guangdong Province, was an official in Beijing. This person was not too concerned about his career, but devoted himself to the study of food. He not only liked to taste various unique foods from all over the world, but also liked to cook by himself.

One day, when he was relaxing, he happened to hear a lot of meowing. Out of curiosity, he followed the sound to find the cat, and found that the cat was bared its teeth and there was a snake in front of it, and they were fighting.

After observing for a long time, Kong Yin suddenly had a whim. He paired snake meat with cat meat, added some mushrooms and fungus, and cooked together. After cooking, he found it delicious. At that time, there was a folk saying that "snake" was a metaphor for "dragon" and "cat" was a metaphor for "tiger", so he named this dish "Long Hudou" himself.

As soon as the saying of "Long Hudou" spread, local restaurants scrambled to imitate it, and the meat was delicious and the soup was sweet, causing a sensation.

Although the "Long Hudou" in Guangzhou has gradually disappeared now, it once attracted tourists from all over the country, and it was a smash hit.

besides eating snakes, Guangzhou also has the custom of eating rats. I'm afraid rats are out of Guangdong, so it should be difficult to find people who like to eat. People who don't understand stay away from rats, but Guangzhou people just do the opposite of thousands of people and make rat meat into all kinds of delicious food.

Guangzhou is located in the delta, with fertile land and numerous fertile fields. It's just that the bumper harvest of grain also brings a headache to mice, which do great harm to grain. In order to catch rats, local people smoke rats' caves and force them out of them, thus catching them. After that, the captured mice were used for pickling or air-drying. After all kinds of processing, it was found that the meat of the mice was actually fresh and tender, and it was even more fragrant after cooking, which had to be said to be extremely rare and delicious at that time when food was scarce.

The poisonous snakes and mice that make people stay away from each other have become Chinese food in Guangzhou, which shows that there are many kinds of delicious food in Guangzhou, which is the best in the world. The essence of Guangzhou cuisine "Jane"

Although eating wild animals has been banned for the protection of the natural environment and wild animals, there are no such strange game on the table in Guangzhou, and these delicacies have also been removed from the menu of Guangzhou people, it would be a big mistake if you think there are no delicious foods in Guangzhou.

Braised lion's head, shredded pork with fish flavor, kung pao chicken, boiled cabbage, Beijing roast duck and other local specialties can also be found in restaurants in Guangzhou. Besides, in order to cater to the tastes of Guangzhou people, restaurants in Guangzhou have also made appropriate improvements to them, which makes them taste different.

The famous white-cut chicken, all kinds of snacks in the streets and lanes of Guangzhou seem to be more grounded. Guangzhou people can put a few tables on the roadside at will and put on a big umbrella, and they can make a living immediately. There are all kinds of snacks, such as lean meat porridge, chicken porridge with mushrooms, fish porridge, boat porridge, etc., beef brisket powder, pork powder, rice rolls, etc., and rice with clay pot, lotus leaf rice and pig's feet rice, etc. Dazzling, I don't know what to choose at the moment.

Travellers seem to enjoy this kind of open-air comfort on the street very much. With the cool breeze blowing, three or two friends are talking and laughing without restraint. The formality in the restaurant has also vanished at this moment. Say whatever you want. It's very casual.

The simplicity of street food stalls does not affect its delicacy. Guangzhou is a modern metropolis and an ancient city with a long history. It has not only prosperous high-rise buildings, but also simple flowing water families. Street food stalls, hidden, are another kind of tenderness in Guangzhou, which slows down the fast-paced pace a little. Here, there is no such toil as pursuing fame and profit, and some are more of a quiet life.

Street food stalls are set up from morning till night. In the early morning, office workers who are in a hurry will go over and have something to eat casually, and suddenly they will be full of energy. In the sunset, the tired off-duty people will go over and eat something very casually, and they will fly in the air instantly.

The sound when cooking and the aroma when cooking constitute the unique beautiful scenery in Guangzhou, and it is also the unique human touch of fireworks in Guangzhou. The "freshness" of the essence of Guangzhou cuisine

Guangzhou is located in the delta, with a unique geographical position, surrounded by the Pearl River and embraced by the sea. There are both endless Pearl River and endless sea. Thanks to the gift of nature, all kinds of seafood have become commonplace. There are many kinds of seafood and various cooking methods, which are difficult to compare with other places.

tourists from other places, when they first come to Guangzhou, may want to eat the well-known boiled chicken.

After struggling to select their favorite seafood, the excited tourists will suddenly fall into a difficult choice, that is, which seafood to choose?

There are many ways to cook seafood in Guangzhou, such as steaming, roasting, frying and cooking.

Therefore, the taste of seafood in Guangzhou is mainly light, which keeps the original flavor of seafood and does not add too much seasoning.

Fresh seafood is fragrant, white and tender in meat, delicious in soup and delicious in color, flavor and taste. A small dish of seafood is likely to hide an old and interesting story behind it, which is likely to be a masterpiece summed up by generations of chefs who have worked hard and made waves.
