Guangfu is a clan below the Han nationality. Guangfu people, that is, Guangfu people, broadly include Cantonese ethnic groups in Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao, Guangxi and all overseas regions (Cantonese-speaking ethnic groups from generation to generation). Guangfu decoction is a health-preserving soup made by Guangfu people with corresponding edible medicinal materials according to different seasons and physical conditions of traditional Chinese medicine.
The weather in Guangdong has been hot and humid for a long time, so Guangfu decoction with local characteristics was derived for nourishing, beautifying and strengthening the body. Especially with Chinese herbal medicines, the concept of "health first" has made a splash in the stomachs of Cantonese people, which is the most distinctive benchmark in Lingnan cuisine and is suitable for both men and women. For Cantonese people, maybe they can live without bamboo and eat without meat, but they can't eat without soup. Drinking soup in different seasons is the biggest feature of Cantonese people. Guangfu decoction is expected to be included in the food (food) cultural heritage after China herbal tea.
No dish can match the charm of Guangfu soup.
Guangfu soup is an indispensable sober-up program in Cantonese New Year's Eve feast, and it is also the most common food culture in Cantonese life.
Soup has a long history. From about 8000 to 7000 BC, people at that time would put cultivated grains in coarse pottery to cook soup. Ten thousand years ago, people had no conditions and leisure to think about how to make this soup into some tricks. This important task must have been taken over by China people later, and it is estimated that it is the barbarian of South Guangdong in everyone's eyes-this can be seen from the superb operation of soup by Guangfu people today.
Soup occupies a high position on the dining table of Cantonese people, which naturally has a great relationship with the geographical environment and weather here. The weather in Lingnan is sultry and sweaty, and the qi is released with sweat, and the yang is released to the outside. Most of them have symptoms of qi deficiency, and they consume a lot of energy while sweating. At this time, it is corrected by nourishing soup. In addition, Chinese medicine has been developed in Lingnan area in history. In recent decades, Guangdong has also paid more attention to Chinese medicine, which is the best place to publicize Chinese medicine knowledge in the country. Therefore, ordinary citizens not only believe in Chinese medicine, but also have a certain understanding of pharmacology. Experts have said that Bao Guangfu decoction can become a tradition handed down from generation to generation and has a profound medical foundation.
"Making soup", according to the conventional understanding, belongs to a kind of Cantonese cuisine. It is to add enough soup to the ingredients, stew them slowly and cook them carefully, without adding water, opening the lid and adding complicated seasonings, and cook the larger ingredients until they are soft and rotten. Through the blending of various ingredients, the essence of food is concentrated in the soup to become a delicious soup. The highest realm of soup is "home soup", which represents the unshakable position of mother or wife in a family.
In Cantonese dictionaries, soup is not just a literal explanation. The association it brings is not only a mixture of all kinds of meat, non-meat and Chinese herbal medicines, but also an aroma that floats in the air. If it is absent or rich, it is difficult to melt. It also represents a strategy to adapt to the natural environment and living habits to a harmonious state, and it also represents a way of life and hope, which contains more sense of belonging to home.
Guangfu soup is a delicious soup that Cantonese people can't live without.
Cantonese people habitually add an adjective "Jing" when talking about Guangfu soup, and the soup must be "Jing"-"Guangfu soup" can meet the requirements of Cantonese people. A pot of pure Guangfu soup should conform to several factors such as long boiling time, sufficient heat and delicious taste.
A pot of soup should not only be careful, but also have rich and heavy materials.
Medicinal materials: Chinese medicine plays a very important role in Guangfu people's soup pot. In addition to tonics such as ginseng antler, general medicinal materials are like to be added to soup, and some dry medicinal materials, such as lean meat, pig bones, pigeons and black-bone chickens, are also replaced by fresh materials. The adjuvants are commonly used medicinal materials, such as Radix Puerariae, Rhizoma Polygonati Odorati, Semen Armeniacae Amarum, Rhizoma Dioscoreae, Fructus Lycii, Fructus Jujubae, Radix Ginseng, Radix Panacis Quinquefolii and Rhizoma Zingiberis Recens.
"Two stews and three stews": Literally speaking, stewing is to put the processed raw materials or cut pieces into boiling water, and then simmer the materials to taste. There is a saying of "two stews and three stews" in Cantonese, but the implementation is not so strict. It usually takes two to three hours to make a soup, depending on the quality of the materials.
The smell of the house: a pot of successful old fire soup is generally nothing to sell. No matter how moist and full the raw materials are, after such a long time of crushing and suffering, they can only be squeezed dry and turned into dregs. Most Cantonese people will despise this soup residue and only favor the most essential "soup"-although in fact, most nutrients still exist in the soup residue. Although the soup is turbid and its appearance is not surprising, at the moment it was uncovered, it was absolutely fragrant and tied the stomachs of a room full of people together.
If you haven't had Guangfu soup, you haven't been to Guangdong.
The rare talent of making super good soup-that is, equivalent to a genius-is presented to everyone in different ways. Recipes are like music scores: every artist will make different interpretations according to his own personality and skills. Whenever he lifts the lid of the soup pot and explores its steaming connotation with a big wooden spoon, one thing is certain: tasting eternal things will bring surprises.
According to isabelle allende's description in Memoirs of the Senses, women in Guangfu are undoubtedly geniuses. Their soup is like a performance art work, and countless people bend over for it. Of course, there are men who can cook soup. A man who can cook soup will make women feel safe in life. But from the purpose, men are obviously much simpler, without women's feelings and scheming.

Mother's soup is always a child's verbal concern. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, "going home for soup" contains deep affection, and all soups are full of deep love, which will become the warmest place when you are most disappointed and helpless, and will be served all year round.
In love, it is fate. In Hong Kong's bubble drama, the heroine usually takes a fancy to the hero, and the first step is to make soup as hydrangea. No matter how tough and willful a woman is, the way of washing hands and cooking soup is always gentle and virtuous, which is one of the necessary skills with high success index. Remember, a woman who has subconscious resistance to you would rather spend half a month's salary to treat you to a French dinner than cook soup for you. As a legal woman in Tang Huo, what I am most afraid of is that I have worked so hard to manage the security guards' soup. Suddenly, a man comes out of the land and her husband is replaced by another woman's soup, which means that the war has begun. This soup, on the battlefield of love, has become a struggle between women.
Making soup, to put it bluntly, is actually the enclosure movement of women. Men wander outside the circle, and there is always a bowl of soup in the scene. Just like the lyrics written by Lin: Why do you shine on the ground floor in the moonlight? You would rather hide in the park than drink soup; The screen glows, no matter what you look at, lovers only dare to drink soup on the edge of breaking up; In the moonlight, why is there no light in the underground palace? Children are very busy in the company and don't need soup.
Even today, the distance between the city and its parents is just a word "a cup of Guangfu soup".
A cup of Guangfu soup is a sidewalk for life.
In Guangdong, a developed area of catering industry, restaurants and restaurants are always crowded. In the restaurant, you can always eat the most expensive, authentic and delicious food, but there is only one, no matter how good the restaurant is, it can't make a home-Guangfu soup.
