Do Cantonese people really like to eat Fujianese?

This term is an Internet slang that became popular in early 2017.

First of all, it is based on the fact that many people from other provinces do not understand the local cultural customs of each place. For example, do everyone in Sichuan eat chili peppers, do all people in Shaanxi live in cave dwellings, and do Cantonese really eat everything?

At that time, there was a rumor on the Internet that the money in red envelopes of Cantonese people was less than 100, so when a Fujianese friend was teasing his Cantonese friend for having few red envelopes, the Cantonese friend said seriously: Cantonese people love to eat Fujianese people, and he used this to make fun of all kinds of things. It makes no sense that the region is dark, so the two popular keywords "Cantonese people eat Fujian people" and "Fujian people tremble" instantly became popular on the Internet.

Similar to this, the Fujian netizen in blue first said "I heard that you Cantonese people..." and then paused for a long time.

At this time, if Guangdong netizens respond normally, such as "?", "Huh?", "What's wrong?", etc., Fujian netizens can continue to say "...the red envelope is only a hundred." to reach one The effect of teasing and joking.

However, the Guangdong netizen did not follow the routine and directly added the sentence "...especially love to eat Fujian people", so the Fujian netizen was blocked by this sentence and could only tremble.

The time when our people can generally have enough to eat is actually very short, I don’t know if it will last a hundred years. Throughout the long history, most of the time it was difficult for most people to have enough to eat. Natural disasters such as floods and droughts would occur at every turn, leading to a sharp decline in population, and wars would starve the land. Every time the population reaches 100 or 200 million, a war must be fought to reduce it to 100 or 20 million. When there is absolutely no food, it is common for people to eat people, whether they are eating dead people on the roadside or directly eating live people on the road. In that era, it was quite considerate of human nature to exchange children for food.

I remember that there is a special long post on Zhihu that talks about the history of Guangzhou people and Fujian people with half-truths and half-falsities. The following are all legends. I don’t know whether they are true or not. I have to put a question mark on them all. It is more of a joke than unofficial history. Words:

It is said that several provinces around Guangzhou used to be natural hunting grounds for Guangzhou people. I don’t know if Guangzhou people are particularly good at hunting or something. Later, when everyone saw that it was going to be over if this continued, they had no choice but to eat spicy food to save their lives. Each one was more palatable and heavier than the last, and they all specialized in some extremely spicy and spicy dishes that it was difficult for ordinary people to adapt to in a short time. Spicy, spicy, sour, spicy, and spicy like snail noodles.

Guangzhou locals like to eat sweet food. Other than that, they have light tastes and eat less spicy, sour, salty and thick soups. They like boiled water with little salt, the original aroma of food (especially seafood), and the "fatness" of food, and do not like to cover up the aroma of food with any other flavor.

I remember there was a post ridiculing how local people in Guangzhou don’t eat spicy food. Before the typhoon, all the vegetables in the supermarket were sold out, and only the green peppers were left, which are the kind of vegetable peppers that have nothing to do with spicy food. (bell pepper). He's so stubborn that he won't eat chili peppers due to starvation. So neighbors have chosen to eat spicy food to save their lives.

But Fujian people are even more stubborn. They are so stubborn that they would rather be eaten out than eat spicy food. Not only that, they also love to drink tea, and they are comparable to the British who regard tea as their life (the first thing they did when they finally lit a fire after being hungry for three days in the wilderness was to boil water to make tea). I don’t know if it’s because they drink tea all year round, but Fujian people are praised by Cantonese people for their tender meat and fragrant aroma. So on the Cantonese menu, Fujianese top the list.

Whether these jokes are actually true in history or whether they are true or false will not be studied in depth here. What is certain is: in the previous famine years, it was not unusual for anyone to eat anyone; then in modern times, cannibalism is illegal and will cause panic; Guangzhou people do not really eat everything. Therefore, it is not necessarily just a joke that Guangzhou people eat Fujian people, but it can only be a joke.

There are many similar memes. It is said that the Cantonese people have a very good family background, so they can get together with the whole family to share a wholesome Fujian meal during the holidays; most families can roast their arms and legs and have a luxurious meal. Great meal.

For another example, there is a picture of a Meituan delivery boy wearing overalls and riding a Meituan motorcycle, but there is someone sitting behind him. The first hot comment is "That's probably a Fujianese, a local tycoon from Guangdong." ”

Other simpler explanation 1: Fujian people say “Cantonese people can eat anything”, and then Cantonese people say “Fujian people also eat well (hao)”, this is originally The fourth tone turned out to be the third tone.

Other simpler explanation 2: Several Cantonese people know a Fujianese person and often eat together. Fujianese people are hospitable and always grab the bill. It was dinner time again that day, and I asked where to eat. Several Cantonese people discussed what to eat, and one person said that he would rather eat Fujianese food. The original intention was to give the Fujian boss a treat! We kept chatting about this topic later, and whenever I had a meal, I thought of eating Fujianese.

Other simpler explanation 3: Fujian people call their children "Zai", while Cantonese people eat a kind of food called "Zai" rice.
