1 wooden pestle, 1 iron pot, 1 bowl of tea, and slowly knock out the carefree life in Guilin.

The scenery in Guilin is the best in the world. Compared with Guilin's fame, people from other places don't know much about Guilin Camellia oleifera. Camellia oleifera has the functions of promoting digestion, invigorating stomach, eliminating dampness and stopping dysentery. It is a health drink invented by ethnic minorities who have lived in mountainous areas for generations according to the humid and miasma geographical environment in mountainous areas. Tea was picked during the Qingming period in Grain Rain, and it is rich in theophylline, which has a conditioning effect on the body. Ginger dispels cold and dampness; Garlic disinfection; Peanuts can replenish energy. In Guilin, there are a lot of wet weather, so playing camellia can warm the body against the cold, refresh the mind, help digestion and relieve fatigue.

According to records, among the longevity people in Guilin, there are many habits of drinking camellia oleifera. At that time, Emperor Qianlong's "double god Hall" made his appetite in Jiangnan wide open and his mouth watered. After eating it, Li Shangyin, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote the poem "Aroma is full of flavor, and An Ou rushes out of An Changchun". It can be seen that the praise of Camellia oleifera has existed since ancient times.

The tools, materials selection, production methods and drinking methods of Guilin Camellia oleifera are very unique. Rice flower, rice fruit, prickly heat and chopped green onion can be added into the refined oil tea. There are shrimp slices, fried noodles, vermicelli, jiaozi stuffed with meat, wormwood cakes, pumpkin cakes, boat rice cakes and other staple foods. About three or five dogs (Guilin people call dog meat good friends) sit together and chat with Lu Ban (Lu Ban means chatting), which is very leisurely.

Let's start with tools, a small iron pot and a small wooden pestle. Small iron pot, but the mouth of the pot is very small, similar to the mouth of the soup bowl. There is a small crooked mouth next to the mouth of the pot to facilitate the pouring of tea; Xiao Mu is smart and unique, shaped like a mask, but the front end extends a short section perpendicular to it for flapping; When selecting materials, you must choose native tea, that is, unprocessed tea, otherwise you will lose the flavor of "Camellia oleifera". Onion, ginger, garlic and salt are essential. Making tea with spring water is a matter of tea classics. However, another feature of "Camellia oleifera" is that it uses meat and bone soup instead of spring water, which naturally makes the taste of tea unique. The method is unique. Heat the wok, add a small amount of vegetable oil, when the oil is cooked, push in the onion, ginger slices and garlic and cook until fragrant, and add the earth tea soaked in water. "Camellia oleifera" must be repeatedly beaten with a wooden pestle to make the fragrance come out until it is completely penetrated. Then add the meat and bone soup, add some salt, once it is boiled, pour it into a small bowl, add chopped green onion, and add some oil-soaked peanuts. The fragrance is overflowing, brown is like coffee, and red and green spots make you drink it all at once.

There is a jingle in drinking "Camellia oleifera" in Guilin: "One cup is bitter, two cups are sandwiched (which means astringent in dialect), and three cups and four cups of good Camellia oleifera". This is to remind you to savor and enjoy slowly. "Camellia oleifera" has the functions of dispelling cold and dampness, refreshing and satiating. The humidity in northern Guangxi is high and there are many miners. Drinking "Camellia oleifera" has become a dietary habit of local people, and it is also a way for them to entertain guests. The guests sit around the table, and the host uses a small stove and Wen Jun as the stove. They operate in public, one cup after another, which is quite flavorful. Nowadays, "Camellia oleifera" has spread like wildfire in several places in Guangxi and won people's love.

A bowl of delicious Guilin Camellia oleifera, please try it when you come to Guilin in the future. In Guilin, Gongcheng people are the best drinkers of Camellia oleifera, and almost every family has props for drinking Camellia oleifera. There are also several good tea and flower shops in downtown Guilin. You can search the specific location.

This is all the tools of Camellia oleifera: wooden pestle, iron pot, colander, and then from left to right, chopped green onion, rice flower, rice fruit, earth tea and ginger. These are the standards. If you want to eat something else, it depends on your personal preference.

This is one of my neighbors, an old woman, who is very kind. When she is free, she likes to play camellia in the community, invite relatives and friends, and get together with a large number of people. It is very lively. After several meals and drinks, the old man really enjoyed himself.

It usually takes 5- 10 minutes to wash and soak the tea leaves before camellia oleifera. When the ginger and onion are ready to boil, stir-fry the tea leaves, ginger and onion until they are dry, then add oil and continue to stir-fry until you see a layer of tea powder stuck to the bottom of the pot and the tea leaves are fragrant. At this time, pay special attention to the lake pot, add water to boil and add salt. If you like spicy food, put more tea, or add a green pepper to fight together. Some families want to drink oil tea to clear away heat, and they will add some mung beans to play together. Generally, the first pot is hammered less, because the first pot is the most bitter and many people don't like it. The second pot is the most astringent, and the third pot tastes good at first. Generally, it only takes one or two minutes to beat camellia oleifera, that is, you have to stir fry and beat it with the camellia oleifera hammer in your hand to make the taste of ginger juice.

Onions are what we call chopped green onion. The green leaves in the front part are chopped. After the tea leaves are put into the pot, put them directly into the bowl. Put the scallion into the teapot and stir it with the tea. For 3-4 people, about 3/4 bowls of tea can be filled with blisters in a small bowl for eating at home. For ginger, three-fingered slices of ginger are enough. Try a few times first. Personal tastes are different. If the taste is too strong and spicy, reduce the amount of each material accordingly.

The colander is full of crushed peanuts.

Camellia oleifera is very fragrant when cooked, and you can smell it from a distance.

Seeing the old man laughing so happily, you will know how much fun it is to play with camellia.

Filter the perforated ones with a colander.

Look at this tea soup. It's golden. Some good tea leaves, yellow and green camellia oleifera are better tea leaves. Camellia oleifera was slightly browned, but it was related to technology at first.

Xie invited. I received two identical questions and answers, and I will give you a simple and unified answer here. Please forgive me.

Here is a free advertisement for the famous camellia oleifera in Gongcheng, Guilin.

It is said that the camellia oleifera in Gongcheng, Guilin has been passed down for nearly a year. Because the ethnic minorities living in the depths of the mountains at that time were eroded by the cold in the mountains, they were hungry and doing heavy physical labor every day. In order to relieve pain, most people will have joint diseases that are serious or light. It can also dispel cold and dampness. In practice, it is found that ginger tea can dispel cold and dampness. This method evolved into the so-called camellia oleifera.

Nowadays, most people use ginger and brown sugar to boil water to prevent colds, but the statement and name are different. People in Gongcheng, Guilin drink camellia oil three times a day. Serving guests, making breakfast, lunch and dinner, and keeping healthy are also a living habit. This is a healthy living habit.

Thank you for inviting me to talk about the following points.

One. . Drinking camellia oil is convenient and affordable.

Many people with low incomes go to Camellia oleifera shop when they have nothing to do, because Camellia oleifera is a good choice for them to eat, and all kinds of snacks are accompanied with Camellia oleifera and peanuts, so they are not tired of drinking. Camellia oleifera is easy to drink and addictive. Delicious and cheap. Dozens of dollars can feed several people. There are few such cheap and good quality places now. In some camellia shops, you can enjoy the unlimited supply of camellia oleifera by paying a few yuan each. Plus a few sweet cakes, you can sit here for hours for a few dollars.

Second, drinking camellia is the atmosphere. Camellia oleifera shop is a good place to enhance feelings with people. I grew up smelling the fragrance of Camellia oleifera, so many people like to go to Camellia oleifera shop for dinner. Seven or eight people sat around a round table, a pot of camellia oleifera, a few cooking dishes, bragging and drinking tea, and unconsciously the friendship deepened. The atmosphere of Camellia oleifera shop is very friendly. When drinking Camellia oleifera, it is easy to tell what difficulties and troubles you have. A bowl of camellia oleifera can enhance each other's feelings and relationships.

Guangdong drinks morning tea, Beijing drinks big bowls of tea, and Guilin people drink camellia oleifera, which is a lively atmosphere. Friends can find a small shop, a bowl of oil tea, a few Baba, a plate of fried powder, and talk and laugh for a long time. Camellia oleifera shop is an important gathering place for some people. They have time and like to chat with others. You can sit in the store and drink two bowls of tea if you have something to do. In the process of talking and laughing, time seems to have accelerated a lot.

Three. Camellia oleifera is for health and delicious.

Camellia oleifera has health preserving function, and Camellia oleifera has many functions. Because tea is rich in trace elements, regular drinking can supplement the trace elements that the human body lacks. Ordinary green tea is brewed only with boiled water, while camellia oleifera has more steps of frying and crushing, which can better release trace elements in tea and is beneficial to human absorption. Moreover, camellia oleifera also has the effect of clearing away heat and toxic materials. People who have a cold can add perilla to camellia oleifera, and houttuynia cordata can be added to camellia oleifera if they get angry. Drinking camellia oleifera every day is much healthier than eating big fish and meat.

Making camellia oleifera is not very "technical". The key is to make delicious Camellia oleifera, choose good ingredients and cook it carefully. A really good camellia oleifera should taste cool and sweet.

Do Guilin people drink camellia oleifera?

In my opinion, this is nothing unusual, there is no need to make a fuss. Why?

Because China has a vast territory and rich natural resources, there are 56 flowers from 56 ethnic groups, including the Han nationality. Don't all ethnic groups have their own specific customs? Ordinary people, whether Miao or Zhuang, or Tibetan or Qiang; Or Buyi, Ba Yao, Lahu, Uygur, etc. , more or less will have some of their own national customs. These customs and habits are generally based on the local conditions at that time, accumulated through years of exploration and practice, and handed down some experiences related to production and life, and so on. Even the dances that many ethnic groups like have actually evolved from productive labor.

Speaking of camellia oleifera, it is more appropriate to say that it is a combination of dim sum and tea. Because, as far as I know, the so-called camellia oleifera not only includes tea and water that we usually drink, but also various high-calorie and delicious compound foods such as soybeans, peanuts and fried rice, and even oil, salt and ginger onions, all of which are made through many complicated and tedious procedures.

So, why? It's just tea. Why make it so complicated?

In fact, everything has its roots, and so does the camellia oleifera, which Guilin people like, because their ancestors used to live in the mountains to avoid the dangerous war and heavy corvee at that time, and the environment was even more sinister. When entering the barren land, mosquitoes are rampant; In addition, the daily work is far away, and it needs enough energy to supplement and maintain the body's massive consumption; According to local conditions, they set up a pot on the ground, lit a fire and cooked a pot of tea, water, whole grains and even a hodgepodge of oil, salt, onion, ginger and garlic with soy sauce and vinegar. The whole family sits around a pile (by the fire) and enjoys themselves. Drinking a bowl of hot and mellow camellia is warm, mellow, simple and convenient (in fact, it is always available). Drinking a bowl while it is hot is authentic, which not only makes people full of energy, but also reduces colds. This is really a nutritious and delicious food for people of all ages in Xian Yi.

Thank you for inviting me! First of all, drinking camellia oleifera is a kind of enjoyment. At ordinary times, several of our friends get together to drink Camellia oleifera, while enjoying the fragrance of Camellia oleifera and expanding our horizons. It's really cool! Secondly, Camellia oleifera is beneficial to the body, invigorating the stomach, promoting digestion, stimulating appetite, refreshing the brain, relieving hangover, removing fishy smell, eliminating dampness and detoxifying. Finally, I suggest you come to drink Gongcheng Camellia oleifera and feel the ethnic snacks.

Where there are more than three meals of real camellia, Guilin ranks first after the small town under Gongcheng. There is a small town called Limu, which is very scary. It drinks at noon in the morning, sometimes at dinner, and the most incredible thing is to eat midnight snack. Who can compare? Almost four meals a day.

Drink camellia oleifera to lose weight. Camellia oleifera contains all kinds of nutrients needed by human body, and a little food can basically meet the nutrition of an adult. Drinking camellia oleifera is like drinking water, so people who drink camellia oleifera are not obese. Obese people don't drink camellia oleifera either. However, I still advocate that children with long bodies drink less oil tea and eat more a la carte.

Drinking camellia oleifera is a local custom and culture. For local residents, it is helpful from the perspective of physical and mental health. If it doesn't work, on the contrary, why do you drink it? Besides, you drink so many times a day. Generally speaking, one party can support the other.

We Gongcheng people don't all drink camellia oil three times a day. For example, we drink camellia oil at noon in the morning and not at dinner. To say what it's like to drink Camellia oleifera, I don't like it light. Gongcheng dialect is a little bitter, I can't drink it. I like to add some ingredients to the oil tea pot, such as garlic, peanuts, pork liver and vegetables. Put it as long as you can [covering your face], mainly because everyone has different habits.
