The four seasons in the south are like spring, so pay more attention to all kinds of health knowledge. Southerners mainly keep fit. Working outside during the day is very hard, and the soup is rich in nutrition! Going home and drinking a bowl of soup at night is definitely good for your health. I think some areas in the south will be a little humid all year round, so it is also a good way to drink soup to get rid of the moisture in the body.
It is hot all the year round, and the weather is sultry. It's hard to swallow without soup at dinner. Nowadays, the soup in Guangdong is very rich and varied, which is the result of the evolution of Cantonese people for thousands of years. Let's start with the old fire soup. There are many kinds of old fire soups in Guangdong. In summer, the weather is hot and humid. Cantonese people will cook water ducks with melon and barley, or pork bones with carrots and corn segments and kapok. This soup has the effects of relieving summer heat, eliminating dampness and clearing heat. Drinking this soup in summer will make people feel much better!
Northern soup is really rare among northerners, especially for a long time, a few hours. Northerners don't like soup very much, but mostly stew. You don't have to drink soup in the north, and you rarely make soup. Most meals are cooked at the same speed as tomato egg soup and laver egg soup, and few people are willing to spend hours cooking soup. But this doesn't mean that northerners don't like slow work and slow fire. Compared with many dishes in the north, such as sauce beef and donkey meat, it takes several hours to stew or steam, and some dishes even take more than ten hours to taste delicious. Not liking making soup is just a habit, left over from generation to generation.
Whether it's stewed vegetables in the north or soup in the south, it's just the eating habits passed down from generation to generation by local people. In a word, it can be summed up as "one side of the soil and water supports one side."
