Most of the Shui people are located in the upper reaches of Liujiang River and Longjiang River, where streams are criss-crossing and the climate is warm, and they are known as the land of plenty and flowers. The Shui people who have lived here for generations like to eat glutinous rice, pickles, peppers, pickled fish, bacon, soju, sweet wine and so on. Among many delicacies, the most distinctive one is sour fish, which can be called the best in sauerkraut. It opens the jar and smells strange and attracts people's appetite.
Most of the Shui villages live in the valley and trough areas planted with bamboo in Maolin, where the climate is hot and rice is mainly planted. Therefore, the diet culture of the Shui people is related to the rice culture. Fuyuan Shui people like to eat glutinous food, and meat likes to eat fish, ducks and geese. The seasoning is mainly sour and spicy, which is called "walking without acid for three days, resisting tuberculosis and relieving asthma" by the Shui people. Shuijia cuisine has the functions of appetizing, eliminating dampness and warming, and there is no greasy feeling at the entrance. The water family's delicious food makes your mouth water, and the Dragon King will join in when he sees it!
The aquarium takes rice as its staple food, and also includes corn, wheat, barley, corn, sorghum, millet, sweet potato and beans. Vegetables mainly include green vegetables, Chinese cabbage, radish, leek, mushrooms, bracken, fungus and so on. Shui people like to eat sour food and drink wine. Sour soup is a must-have food for Shui people in summer. Shui women are also good at cooking all kinds of pickled foods, mainly pickled fish, bacon and pickles. The "fish cabbage" brewed by Shui women is a necessary dish at festival banquets.
Shui farmers are not good at growing vegetables, so the variety of vegetables is monotonous. Aquarium pays more attention to aquaculture and fishery, so all kinds of livestock and aquatic products provide necessary meat food for aquarium life. Shui people love to drink, and every family will bake rice wine. Chinese New Year, celebrations or visiting relatives and friends are all inseparable from entertaining guests with wine. My favorite is the traditional wine "Jiuqian Liquor".
