In summer, the weather in Guangdong is very hot, and this tropical zone is stuffy, as if telling "I am not happy", so "it makes us unhappy". The sultry weather is very annoying and depressing. There seems to be a fire in my heart, and it seems to break out at any time.

In the countryside, many old people like to cook sugar water in the evening, and after dinner in the evening, they enjoy a bowl of sugar water under the big banyan tree in their yard, whispering with their families from time to time, laughing from time to time, and watching their grandchildren playing from time to time. This comfortable life is actually easy to come by.

In Guangdong, the humidity is very heavy in most areas. At this time, the old people who are old all their lives will always boil some sugar water that can dispel the humidity for their families to drink. The weather is hot, and it can also relieve summer heat and reduce fire, which is very effective.

What's the secret of sugar water? Can Guangdong people like it so much?

Sugar water, which can clear lung, is a good choice for reducing fire. The ingredients used are different, so the effect of this bowl of sugar water is different.

Mung bean paste syrup VS red bean paste syrup: Mung bean has the effect of clearing away heat and cooling blood, which is very suitable for summer consumption; Red beans have the functions of strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach, benefiting qi and nourishing blood (little cute people with cold hands and feet, palace cold and dysmenorrhea should eat less mung beans and eat more red beans).

If people are made of water, then Cantonese people are probably made of soup+sugar water+herbal tea. Drinking herbal tea is mostly for relieving physical discomfort (such as relieving cold or getting angry), but drinking sugar water has thousands of reasons: dating, catching up, digestion, greed, or just to pass the time. Guangdong people's obsession with sugar water always makes people in all provinces feel puzzled.

A bowl of seemingly ordinary sugar water is the sweetest footnote in Cantonese cuisine and a precious memory accompanying the growth of Cantonese people. Home-cooked sugar water, although not as glamorous as western desserts, is full of emotions, even if it is thousands of miles away from home, it always makes people feel worried.
