Sweets can be roughly divided into sweets and Cantonese sweet water. Due to different regions, Guangfo people are also called "sweet water", outsiders are called "dessert" and chaozhou people is called "sweet soup". The syrup of Guangfu people generally refers to mung bean paste, red bean paste, sweet potato syrup, ginkgo bean curd, egg lotus seeds, sesame paste, walnut paste and so on. Foreigners' candy refers to five-fruit soup, eight-treasure rice, almond tea, fried dumpling, bean curd and so on. Sweet soup in chaozhou people refers to taro soup, melon taro paste, glutinous rice porridge, sweet potato, mung bean, bean rice bag, qingxin pill, paste roasted ginkgo, red bean soup, mung bean soup, duck mother's egg and so on.

Compared with Guangfu dessert, Chaozhou dessert has stronger flavor and heavier sweetness, while Cantonese dessert has lighter taste and sweetness, and pays attention to the therapeutic effect. In addition, people in Guangfu eat sugar water in order to achieve the effect of moistening and moistening, and chaozhou people's sweet soup is mostly used as dessert after meals, just for the pleasure of eating. Take mung bean dessert as an example. Chaozhou mung bean soup can be eaten with sugar as long as the mung beans are cooked until they bloom. However, people in Guangfu pay attention to cooking mung beans until they are blown by wind and sand, and then adding accessories such as dried tangerine peel, kelp or vanilla to neutralize the coolness of mung beans. After eating, they can also clear away heat and relieve summer heat.

Chaozhou sweet soup, some are available all year round, some are seasonal, and mung beans are refreshing all year round. It's a sweet soup soaked in mung beans, boiled with white sugar and added with some powdered water. Sweet potato is also a dessert that is often eaten all year round. Chaozhou has a dessert called Qingxin Pill. First, cook Coicis Semen, persimmon slices, cold noodles, auricularia auricula, wax gourd strips, yam, lily and Cixi, soak them in cold water, take appropriate amounts of each, and roll them up with sugar soup, which tastes sweet and refreshing. Qingxin Pill has the effects of clearing away heat, moistening intestine, diuresis, clearing heart and benefiting lung, and is often sold in summer.

The beancurd plants in Chaoshan are also very special. On the summer afternoon of my childhood, whenever I woke up from a nap, Abel's tinkling bell downstairs and his thick cry "Tofu pudding, grass ..." were always ringing in my ears. Every afternoon, Abel will ride a bike near my home on time. In the back seat, he was carrying two big clay pots, one was tofu flower and the other was tofu. When I am greedy, I will catch him on the windowsill first, and then rush downstairs to buy a thunderous bowl. I was panting at that time, but I'm glad I didn't miss it. I begged Aberdeen to help me dig some and carry the tofu upstairs.
