As the saying goes, "Winds vary within a hundred miles, and customs vary across a thousand miles." There are many differences in lifestyles and eating habits between regions. People have a xenophobic mentality towards eating habits outside the area where they live. When entering a new environment, they cannot adapt to local eating habits.
Lei Lin, a young man born in the 1900s from Chengdu, went to visit his aunt's house in Guangzhou. He stayed at his aunt's house for five days and never had a full meal. The young man bluntly said that he would never come to his aunt's house again. Let's see what Lei Lin has been eating at his aunt's house these days.
Day 1: Roast duck legs + oyster sauce cabbage + stir-fried shrimps with asparagus + pork ribs and water chestnut soup
Although my aunt is from Chengdu, she has already married Over the years in Guangzhou, tastes have changed, and the dishes we eat have become bland. Although the roasted duck legs are marinated, they are very bland. Lei Lin couldn't get used to them on the first day at his aunt's house. The oyster sauce cabbage and asparagus stir-fried with shrimps are all bland, and Lei Lin can't get used to them, so naturally he can't get enough.
The next day: Salt-baked chicken + Tomato scrambled eggs + Stir-fried spinach + Oil tofu and cabbage soup
My aunt’s family eats The dishes were very bland. The salt-baked chicken, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, etc. that were cooked the next day were very bland and did not have any chili pepper. For Leylin, a Chengdu native who loves spicy food, it was too much to eat. He could not eat more than a few bites at each meal and was not full every time. Leylin was helpless and embarrassed to speak, so he could only endure it.
The third day: Sweet and sour pork + Asparagus and fried shrimps + Baby cabbage in oyster sauce
The third day Aunt Tian made sweet and sour pork tenderloin, stir-fried shrimps with asparagus and baby cabbage in oyster sauce. These dishes were not only light, but also had a bit of sweetness. Leylin couldn't eat the originally light dishes, but this dish also had a sweet taste, which Leylin couldn't eat. He couldn't eat every meal. The boy bluntly said that he would never come to his aunt's house to play in the future.
The fourth day: beef stir-fried cabbage heart + cucumber stir-fried meat + boiled broccoli
My nephew came to the house, and my aunt changed her cooking style every day. On the fourth day, she made beef stir-fried cabbage heart, cucumber stir-fried meat, etc. There was a plate of fried rice. Li Hao couldn't get used to these bland dishes. There was a candied egg inside the boiled broccoli. This kind of egg is more nutritious, but has a strong fishy smell. Most people can't accept the taste. Lei Lin looked at the dishes cooked by his aunt and felt miserable. He couldn't eat well and he wasn't full.
The fifth day: Salt-baked shredded chicken + Eggplant and roasted beans + Steamed fish with chopped pepper + Broccoli mixed with olive oil
On the fifth day, my aunt made salt-baked chicken, roasted eggplant and beans, chopped Steamed fish with peppers, Lei Lin stayed at his aunt's house for five days. The steamed fish with chopped peppers that he made today had some flavor and could be eaten with rice. Li Hao could eat a few more bites, but the portion was too small and not enough to eat. The other dishes were all bland and could not be eaten. Eating these days was too frustrating. Lei Lin just wanted to go home quickly and go back to Chengdu to eat Malatang, hot pot, and eat all kinds of Chengdu delicacies that he had longed for.
Leylin stayed at his aunt's house in Guangzhou for five days and never had a full meal. The food was too bland and Leylin didn't like to eat it. It was fine to eat it occasionally, but he couldn't eat it often. Leylin said he would never come to his aunt's house again, haha.
