Chicken wine cooked with red dates, wolfberries, chicken nuggets, ginger, wine, fungus and other materials has always been a food for women to supplement after giving birth, but it is not necessarily "confinement". Many families also use chicken wine as a daily soup. Compared to ordinary chicken soup, chicken wine is more warm-up and blood-blowing. Because of the different cooking methods in different families, the taste in the soup is passed down from generation to generation, which has a unique heritage. .

The 61-year-old Jade Sister, also known as Sham Shui Po Liang, has won praise from her neighborhood for her cooking skills. Sister Yu pointed out that her only hobbies are "food ravioli" and "cooked ravioli." Of course, some home-made side dishes such as Swiss chicken wings and lemon chicken wings are not difficult for her. In recent years, she has also actively researched and cooked new foods. "Spicy hot, cold fungus, and cooking chicken and chicken pots when I go out to the street and eat chicken pots, my daughter will love to eat." She has two daughters. In the past, she also used various snacks to be active in non-governmental organizations. The cooked food market, but the most popular among the neighborhoods, is the chicken wine soup made with her family's secret recipe.
Sister Yu pointed out that chicken wine is a tonic in the Hakka area of Guangdong. The practices of households are slightly different, and it is customary for the previous generation to pass the practices and recipes to the next generation. She recalled that the first time I tasted the chicken liquor was cooked by her mother after her 30-year-old daughter was born. "I feel comfortable and warm when I drink a soup. It turns out that when I was born that year, I had cooked food, and then I learned how to bury it. "
Sister Yu described that there is no secret to the family tradition of "Mom's Cooking Chicken Liquor", but when it was sold in the market, it got a lot of resonance from its peers. My oldest person most remembers that someone drank three bowls in a row! Some people agreed that they were tidy, but they were actually very happy. "She estimates that everyone does n’t drink chicken wine often in the workshops. Cooking at home makes you feel special.
In recent months, some companies have started to make soup buns for Sister Yu's chicken wine. On the day of the interview, Sister Jade made chicken wine with KOLB.LIFE CEO Johnson at a workshop in Kennedy Town. I saw that they first cooked the chicken, ginger, fungus and other materials, and then added water, wine, rose dew, etc., and there was a rush of fragrance in Langzhong, which spread throughout the workshop. "During ordinary times, squatters will cook a female drink, especially in winter, they can qi and blood, but they have completely consumed it, and even sold it to their families!" Sister Yu said frankly, never thought I was surprised to be able to make three generations of chicken liquor from family traditions into soup buns, and the soup buns used her look as a "raw signboard".
Lu Hanhao, who is responsible for monitoring and making soup buns with employees, said that today, many nostalgic foods and drinks are often mentioned. Chicken wine is also one of them, but it is often forgotten. You can drink it in many places. In fact, chicken wine can be drunk as an ordinary soup. Although it usually seldom drank, when it is drunk, it will sip: the taste of the housing company. "He said that his mother cooked chicken wine when he was a kid. , But did not cook it later, Jade's recipe evoked his past memories, so he hoped to promote this food to others.
