Guangdong has a long summer, hot climate and high humidity, and people easily get angry. Therefore, Cantonese people especially like soup pots in diet, and make soup pots into traditional Chinese medicine, and change different ingredients and traditional Chinese medicine in combination with seasonal changes.

Snakes are cold-blooded, and meat is cold. In Guangdong, Guangxi and neighboring Hunan and Jiangxi, there is no shortage of snakes in the mountains. Therefore, eating snake meat is not only healthy, but also won't get angry, so it is liked by Cantonese people.

I come from Jiangsu, and I have never eaten snakes since I was a child. I was transferred to Guangdong in the 1980s. At first, I had a serious sore on my face, especially a lot of black pimples. The doctor told me that this is caused by the accumulation of fire and poison in the body. Try to take some drugs to clear fire and disinfect, and pay attention to a light diet.

Friends in Guangzhou saw me coming back with big bags of Chinese medicine and asked me what happened. I pointed at my face and told him that when I was angry, the poison in my body would accumulate ... He smiled, grabbed my medicine and threw it away: "I'll take you to eat snakes after work, and eat more" ...

In this way, in order to cure the disease, I began to eat snake meat, drink snake blood and snake gall, and even ate snakes for a week, such as King Snake, Giant Banyan Snake, Eye King Snake and Agkistrodon … I have eaten meat, drank blood and drank gall!

A week later, the sores on my face really began to dry up, and gradually subsided and healed.

To this end, drinking herbal tea (soup made of pure Chinese medicine) and eating snake meat have become my hobbies. In Guangdong for more than 30 years, I have never counted how many snakes I have eaten. I eat it all the time anyway. The number of fish eaten divided by three is almost the number of snakes.

I'm from southern Jiangsu, and I've loved fish and shrimp since I was a child.

Food is the most important thing for people, and meat is the most important thing for snakes. Not only Guangdong people like to eat snakes, but also Guangxi people like to eat them. People in Guangdong and Guangxi like to eat snakes, which are very expensive, especially wild snakes.

Guangdong people believe that snake meat can nourish the body and has the effect of tonifying deficiency and benefiting qi. As a light tonic, snake meat is not as spicy as mutton, which is suitable for Cantonese tastes. People of any constitution can eat it, which can tonify the deficiency and strengthen the body without any side effects.

In Guangdong, many chefs in restaurants can cook snake meat, but few chefs can't cook snake meat. Roasted snake with salted egg yolk, spicy snake, garlic-flavored anti-bone snake, healthy warm stomach snake broth, snake meat snake liver hot pot, special snake blood fried rice.

There are n ways to eat snake meat, all of which make your index finger move. The most special thing is that there is fresh snake bile stewed with fresh milk. A table full of snakes in Guangdong is an eye-opener and opens a brand-new world of eating game. The snake feast and all kinds of game popular in Guangdong make people come boldly.
