The deviation between north and south of aphrodisiac is different.

Aphrodisiac: North and South deviate, and aphrodisiac is different.

Bilsen: national first-class chef, chef of five-star hotel around Guangzhou City Road.

Bilsen is only in his early forties. In his early years, he was invited to cook in many northern star-rated hotels such as Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Harbin and Beijing. Contact with chefs from different cuisines. So he knows something about the diet and tonic habits of people in the north and south.

The conversation started with Cantonese cuisine, the main course of his hotel. Bil-son said that since the autumn of this year (2004), due to less rain and severe drought in Guangdong, it is not suitable for large-scale replenishment. Therefore, the nourishing dishes made in their hotel are mainly tonics, such as Cistanche deserticola and sea cucumber lean meat stew, ginseng rehmannia honey stew, walnut dogwood chicken soup and so on.

"I have been a chef for many years. I feel that in Guangdong, men's tonic in autumn and winter is more focused on tonifying kidney and strengthening yang. Therefore, regarding the material of soup, we usually mix with Beiqi, Dangshen, Angelica, Lycium barbarum, jujube and other medicinal materials. Materials include walnuts, peanuts, soybeans, black beans, whip, mutton, black-bone chicken, dried seafood and so on. Ladies pay more attention to female beauty, and we will recommend them to eat bird's nest, flower glue, China wood frog and so on. "

Bilsen said as he took out two thick notes, which recorded many recipes. "I have many nourishing soups for men and women here, such as Xiong Feng Soup, Xiongmen Soup, Lady Soup and Guifei Soup." Although the ingredients of these dishes are nothing more than those just mentioned, the names of the dishes are so sensational that I can't help laughing.

"In fact, these are the names of dishes a few years ago. Now our catering industry does not advocate naming dishes like this. One is sensational, and the other is too tacky. At least high-end hotels don't do that. We also advocate that the names of dishes can reflect the main components and functions of dishes. Such as: Liuwei Zhusi Decoction (nourishing yin and tonifying kidney) and Baji Haima Decoction (tonifying kidney and strengthening yang). Such a name is not only simple, but also allows guests to know what they want to eat at a glance. " (aphrodisiac: North-South deviation, aphrodisiac is different)

"You have been working in the north for several years. Is there a difference between north and south in autumn and winter? "

"The cold time in the north is longer in a year, and there are fewer varieties of vegetables. People like to eat meat to increase heat energy to supplement their physical strength. Therefore, the main way for northerners to supplement in autumn and winter is to drink and eat meat. For example, in Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang, when it comes to nourishing, people usually eat mutton. There is a proverb: sheep eat grass medicine, and the whole body is treasure. In autumn and winter, mutton is the best. "

"Northerners are not as particular about soup as Cantonese, which may be related to their generous personality. They don't sit down and stew soup for hours. Their soup also contains medicinal materials, generally Lycium barbarum, pepper, star anise and other medicinal materials that Guangdong people think are hot and dry. Pepper and star anise, in particular, are eaten all year round. Even though I am from Guangdong and have worked in the north for several years, I can't get used to their soup and think it is too spicy. "

Our reporter also lost no time in asking Bilsen a question: At the end of the wedding season, what would you do if you asked the newly married young people to give them a home-cooked recipe to make up for their energy in their own meals?

Bilsen thought for a moment and said, "If you are in the north, you can cook stewed mutton, braised carp and Four Joy Meetballs. Southerners generally like chicken. As the saying goes, a chicken can't eat. You can make a stewed chicken with American ginseng. The main course can be boiled oxtail with black beans and tomatoes, pork loin soaked in ginger juice, steamed crab with ginger and onion, and fried leek flowers with fresh shrimp. In this way, steaming, frying, stewing, boiling and soup are all available, all of which are dishes for strengthening yang and tonifying kidney. American ginseng has the function of nourishing yin and is rich enough. It is most suitable for these newly married couples who need vigorous energy. But if I want to say my favorite food, I will count oysters. Napoleon once said: Oysters are the best food to conquer women and enemies.

Ha ha, whether Napoleon really said this sentence is unknown, and it can only be heard as a joke. Bilsen is familiar with how to mix food and make delici.
