The first thing that many people think of when mentioning the city of Liuzhou is snail noodles, but for Liuzhou people, many of them also prefer eating bird food and drinking camellia in their daily lives. In their daily life, they may often hear that Liuzhou's snail noodles are very famous, but oil tea like this may also make everyone feel very curious. Why is it not snail noodles but oil tea with every meal?

Gongcheng Camellia oleifera is included in the Guangxi Intangible Cultural Heritage

According to statistics, Gongcheng Camellia oleifera is included in the Guangxi Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Project (commonly known as the Intangible Cultural Heritage). It is also one of the Guangxi Intangible Cultural Heritage The first geographical indication product trademark for specialty snacks. Chen Zheng, director of the Standards and Quality Section of the Industrial and Commercial Quality Supervision Bureau of Gongcheng Yao Autonomous County, participated in the formulation of the "Requirements". He said that Gongcheng Camellia oleifera gradually spread from Gongcheng to Guilin, Nanning and other places, and Camellia oleifera shops gradually increased. In order to provide consumers with the authentic taste of Gongcheng Camellia oleifera, the "Requirements" regulate the auxiliary materials, ripeness, and proportion of each seasoning in the production process of Camellia oleifera.

All Camellia oleifera has its own taste

Chen Yuhuai, chairman of the Gongcheng Camellia oleifera Association, said that not all Gongcheng Camellia oleifera is found in Camellia oleifera shops across Guangxi. Depending on the region, there are Gongcheng Camellia oleifera, Guanyang Camellia oleifera, Pingle Camellia oleifera, and Longsheng Camellia oleifera in Guilin. There are also Sanjiang Dong Camellia oleifera in Liuzhou. Different oil teas are made in different ways and have different tastes. The implementation of this "Requirement" applies to the production of Gongcheng Camellia oleifera in the catering industry and distinguishes it from other Camellia oleifera.

A three-piece set is required for cooking

For example, the "Requirements" mentioned that a "three-piece set" should be used to prepare Gongcheng camellia with traditional Chinese medicine: an oil tea pot, an oil tea mallet and an oil tea separator. Chen Yuhuai said that different areas use different tools when making Camellia oleifera. For example, the main tool for Sanjiang Camellia oleifera is a clay pot; Longsheng Camellia oleifera is commonly used in cooking woks; while Guanyang Camellia oleifera rarely uses Camellia oleifera for filtration.

In the industry, there are praises for micro-malls.

Zhu Yanling runs an oil tea shop in Gongcheng. She believes that the standards set by the "Requirements" are basically the same as the local traditional hand-made Camellia oleifera production methods, but in reality, each store has established its own style, and everyone may make adjustments in accordance with the "Standards". Therefore, the promulgation of standards has little bearing on all fields.

Tang Yi has opened camellia oleifera experience centers in Gongcheng and Guilin. He feels that the "Requirements" will promote the production of standard Gongcheng camellia oleifera. He said that some oil tea shops shout the title of "Gongcheng Camellia", but they are not made according to local traditional methods, which ruins the reputation of the brand. After the implementation of the "Requirements", it will give everyone a reference and tasting standards, which will be beneficial to healthy development of the field. However, so far in the development of Gongcheng Camellia oleifera, some steps have moved from traditional hand-making to production. For example, some Camellia oleifera shops have gradually abandoned wooden camellia hammers and replaced them with mechanical hammers. From this point of view, the standards in the "Requirements" are Some are lagging behind.

The standards have certain limitations

In addition, the equipment requirements in the "Requirements" are too detailed, which will have certain limitations in the operation process. For example, it is required that the screen diameter of the oil tea is less than 0.1cm. The screen mesh is too thin and will be blocked when the oil tea is made in the third and fourth steps. If the filtered oil tea does not affect the taste, it may be more convenient. .

Guo Xiaoguang, CEO of Guangxi Yaowangfu Catering Management Co., Ltd., said that Gongcheng Camellia oleifera is a folk traditional handmade food, which has different characteristics from industrial products and is difficult to produce according to unified standards. The "Requirements" are based on actual feasibility. Enforcement is not very strong, and it is difficult for units to supervise. He believes that the higher significance of the promulgation of the "Requirements" is that it can have a certain effect on the Gongcheng Camellia oleifera brand.

Add peanut kernels and garlic

Chen Yuhuai said that the "Requirements" are regional mandatory standards. After implementation, it does not forcefully stipulate that the commercialized Gongcheng Camellia oleifera will be exactly the same. Low, "We provide a foundation, and while ensuring the main body, the branches are created by the creator." He said that in recent years, some producers have added a small amount of peanut kernels to the raw materials of tea leaves and ginger slices, which makes the oil tea taste more mellow. This time in the "Requirements", peanut kernels, garlic (garlic cloves), and scallions are also included in the ingredient list. "The purpose is to make more people love Gongcheng Camellia through improvements."

There are three songs: "Don't say that the Yao family has poor etiquette. When they enter the house, they ask for tea. The tea is like a magical potion, and the dragon meat soup is not as good as it."

"Gongcheng Camellia oleifera has become an indispensable part of modern life in Gongcheng. It has become the best etiquette knowledge for entertaining guests, and it has also become a particularly beautiful cultural scenery in Gongcheng.
