As a northerner, because of the lack of information when I was a child, I saw few southerners, and all kinds of things about the south came from hearing about it. As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing, and when I can really walk the north and south of the river, many concepts of southerners and northerners, especially the misunderstanding of food culture, see a different real situation.
I've always thought that Southerners drink less. Funny to say, the reason for this view is that the south is full of small bridges and flowing water, and people are gentle.
It wasn't until many years ago, when I came into contact with many friends in the south because of work, that I realized that the amount of alcohol had nothing to do with the south and the north.
There are three places where I was very impressed. One is a friend from Taizhou, Jiangsu, who is so good at wine that we don't have to plug the outside world on the dam at all. And they drink very boldly, in the wine field, you say a big cup, you say a small cup, you can accompany you from beginning to end.
At first, I thought they were doing this for the sake of business, but over the years, we have become friends who are beyond the scope of business, and we know that they really love to drink. Now we don't have any business dealings, but we still see each other once or twice a year, not for anything else, but to talk about old things and new things. The atmosphere when drinking has become a relaxation among friends, and when I don't drink, they drink half a pound and a pound alone. It's really drinkable.
Another is a friend of Zhejiang. When I first met them, I was a little worse at drinking. According to their own reasoning, no one in the local area drinks like this, and with that kind of effort, is it not good to think about how to make money?
They came to us to do business, and it was really hard when they came, but fortunately, with the help of the villagers, they have a flexible mind, and now it has become the climate. As well as their careers, they also drank too much. Good guy, from the beginning when we were blind and drunk uncomfortably, to now you don't drink and he laughs at you: what kind of body does a northern man become if he doesn't drink!The changes are not small.
Finally, it is the friends of Guangdong. In our stereotyped impression, Guangdong is an absolute southerner, and after really getting in touch with friends, we find that they have a hot temper and are even more heroic than many northerners. When drinking, whether you can drink or not is secondary, the main thing is to dare to drink, drink until you are afraid.
These friends, now they are a little older, between drinking and health, they all choose the latter. Speaking of the first time we saw each other, everyone smiled, raised a small glass, drank slowly, respected the past, and respected friendship.
I don't know who has said that southerners eat sweet tofu brain with added sugar when they eat tofu brain. It wasn't until I went to some cities in the south that I realized a big mistake.
Sweet tofu brain, whether in the south or the north, belongs to a small range of eating habits and hobbies, and is not common. Some young people may deliberately choose in order to show the difference, but most middle-aged and elderly people eat tofu brain, or choose the salty taste of marinade.
The difference is that their salty taste is different from the salty taste in the north, and the amount of salt added is different, and it is light. In fact, I agree with their taste, salty salt is inseparable from everyone, but eating less is really good for the body.
I like to look for old streets and alleys in southern cities and find some snacks to try. In the early morning when the mist was light, the old men who walked slowly paced to the breakfast shop unhurriedly, ordered a breakfast, and ate it unhurriedly. There are also people who want a bowl of old wine and a small appetizer to drink alone. That kind of tranquility seems to have disappeared in my world for a long time.
Tofu brain is not too popular, but soy products can be eaten in various styles. When asked about eating sweet tofu brain, someone told me that in the past, sugar was a good thing, not to mention eating tofu brain mixed with it, and I was willing to eat it dry. As for whether you like it or not, there was no choice at that time.
Specifically, the amount of food in the south is small, and the amount of food in the north is large. According to my observation, because the south is more abundant, there are many choices, and there are many kinds of small dishes, and it is normal to stir-fry two or three dishes at a home-cooked meal.
The products in the north are a little less meaningful, for example, in the current winter, in the past, there were only Chinese cabbage, tofu and potatoes, etc., and a pot of vegetables was boiled in one meal, and the vegetables were not dared to be put more. If there are fewer non-staple foods, there will naturally be more staple foods. Look at the present, the northerners eat a lot less than before.
There is also the difference in climate between the north and the south. It is cold in the north, and in addition, eat more heavy foods with oil and water to replenish the body's consumption. The more you eat, the more you eat. Today's children in the north have never lacked good food since they were young, and they don't eat like I didn't see the world like when I was a child, and the amount of food naturally decreases.
The north and south of orange are different, and the same is true of life in the north and south. As people's footsteps are no longer limited to a certain place, whether it is personality or food, they are quietly changing. In this life, it is interesting to have a little change in life. You're right?
