Thomas from canada buys china sugar。
"can you bring this candy next time in milan? I can pay." a long time ago, the story of milan's request for china's sweets triggered a discussion among netizens: "it's not sugar, it's social hard currency!"
On 27 february this year, a record number of people entering and departing from the gate were recorded at the fastest rate in history. A growing number of foreign tourists have come by name, from red candy to snacks in the tunnels, and foreign friends have been caught by what is the chinese taste
Over the years, journalists have visited the sandy tails, the middle mountain road, etc., and have found that the answer lies not only in a bowl of hot sandy tea, but also in the smoke at the end of the street. At the same time, chinese tea and tea with a unique southerly feature are accompanied by “flying” around the world as foreign friends walk。
Go down the street and find food for south america
On 2 march, at noon, on foot in the middle mountain road, the heads were gathered and tourists were travelling between the ancient alleys of the building on which they were riding, feeling a high and pleasant pyrotechnic gas. Kevin from the united states took the pearl tea that the shopkeeper had just made and couldn't wait to take a big sip of it, adding praises: "it's good!" and his wife smiled and pressed the camera。
“this is the first time i've come to ximen, my wife is chinese. She's been a fan of this place since she visited here ten years ago, so we've made it our last stop on our honeymoon.” kevin said that during the five-day trip, they “cooked” a lot of food in the southern tunnel, such as sand noodles, ginger ducks, sea turtles, etc。
When asked how it tasted, he stressed with a surprise expression: "it's delicious, especially the sea stork's taste is unique, and i've never had this smooth-skinned snack, and i've put on a sweet, spicy, spicy southerner sauce."
Vincent from the netherlands also unlocked the first food experience at the gate. He frankly said that there was no eating habits of “phoenix claws” in the places where he lived, but the steam claws he tried gave him an interesting taste of good food, “a little spicy, special taste and hope that he could still eat”。
Compared to their first food scouts, nuni, from armenia, has lived in the city for eight years, known as the old man. She can travel the streets with her friends and look for food that she likes. “the sand and tea must be warmed with seafood, and the sea storks must be cooked while the tea is hot.” she talks about food as a few janes。
On one occasion, when nunny went to visit her local friend, she made a pot of tea and put on fish-covered peanuts, garlic sticks and mouthfuls of tea. Since then, this combination has become her “good mind”。
Anna pei company on the side, she's filipino, also working in xiamen for many years. "the chinese food is so rich, and especially the mundane features that are not available elsewhere, which i like. For example, the bottom of the sand and tea is perfect, with fresh seafood and vegetables, delicious." she said that the cuisine was a unique memory of her city。
During the visit, journalists found that sand and tea were in “c's” position on the “list of foods” of a number of foreign friends, with the same high frequency as ginger ducks, sea oysters, vinegar, fragrances and thawing. In their view, xiamen's good food is rich in life and a living “china smell”。
"shinmen memory" follows foreign friends across the sea
If tunnel snacks are the first experience of a foreign friend with the taste of the door, then the hand-in-hand gift put in a box is the “memory of the door” they want to bring home。
Thomas from canada is standing in front of the shelf at a beauty shop where his shopping basket is filled with bubble sugar, qq sugar, big white rabbit milk. "these are for the children." thomas smiled and said, "my children love sugar, so they can taste chinese sweets."
Apart from candy, tea, pineapples, pies, mango dry, seafood dried goods are also “memorys” that foreign friends like to bring home and share with their families and friends. Every time she went home, she always had tea in her suitcase, like red tea, white tea, pumma tea and tea. She said, "these are my favorites, and i want to share them with my family."
The same thing about tea is thomas from germany. Not only does he like to drink tea in xiamen, but he puts it in his suitcase — a box of chinese tea bearing the stamp “ma to success” that will accompany him flying back to germany from xiamen takazaki international airport as a vehicle for telling chinese stories to his family and friends。
Jana, from slovenia, has a unique mood for a medium point. "i'll buy nice chinese snacks, which have a lot of different kinds and tastes, like black sesame, mango, and tweed pies, which are new." she smiled and said, "the chinese dessert here is perfect, and my family and friends love it."
In the eyes of these foreign friends, a sugar, a bag of tea, a bowl of noodles is more than food — they are quietly becoming “sweet bridges” connecting the world. Many foreign friends who live and work here speak out, from milan’s sugar glucose rush to the unchartered mussels of senan, where more foreigners are recognizing the city through food and using it as a business card, allowing “china’s taste” to travel across the sea, and allowing more people to feel the diverse charisma of chinese food culture on the tip of their tongues.
