The ancients said, "Eating without meat is better than living without bamboo." Scholars of all ages have rendered it, and even women and children are catchy. The other said, "It is better to eat without soup than to eat without rice." I don't know geometry? Maybe eating rice and soup is a part of daily life, and it is tacky to talk too much. However, there is wine to drink when drinking, and not only vegetables but also soup are eaten. Therefore, those who are good at keeping in good health can eat without soup, and those who are good at cooking can't make soup.

Soup is a major feature of Guangzhou's food culture. Cantonese people, even the whole Lingnan people, are good at health soup. There are two reasons. First, the weather there is sultry and sweaty, which consumes a lot of energy and loses a lot of water. Secondly, due to the leakage of yang, the clinical manifestations are mostly qi deficiency, or the exterior yang is not solid, or the interior cold and yin are abundant, so it is reasonable to correct it with the help of warming and tonifying decoction. Cantonese people pay attention to the original flavor of old fire when cooking soup. In addition to the basic materials, they only add salt and sometimes ginger to remove the fishy smell. Do it. Without any seasoning, what you want is the original flavor, and the original soup is rich in nutrition.

When we walk into the Cantonese restaurant and order an old fire soup, we can eat Cordyceps sinensis, Polygonatum odoratum, Lycium barbarum, dried tangerine peel, sweet almond and other medicinal materials from the soup. In the eyes of Guangdong mothers who believe in "shape-supplementing", physical education class sprained her ankle and had to drink a bowl of soybean pig's foot soup to mend it, and Lycium barbarum is the most beautiful ornament of pig's foot soup.
