Guangfu people pay attention to "the first light soup" when drinking soup, while chaozhou people pays attention to "the second rush" when drinking tea. In that era of material shortage, everyone was unwilling to waste the rich "first tea" and drink it correctly, while the second tea became a symbol of good luck. For example, for the new guests, "You came at the right time, this is just the second rush", then the guests must be very happy. After the opening to the outside world, everyone was busy "eating" and didn't have much time to make congou. The "procedure" was gradually simplified and the tea set was gradually mechanized. From clay pots to kerosene stoves (kerosene stoves) to electric wire stoves, there are almost all unified electric kettles at present. Although time is short, due to the rapid development of society, congou is more popular. "Spring City is full of flowers", even some college students and even high school students have time tea sets, and some friends don't forget to bring a simple congou tea set when they take the train.
Chaozhou people is very particular about "matching" (snacks) when drinking congou. In the past, things like peanut candy, mung bean cake and diced wax gourd were all regarded as "luxury goods". In the era of ample food and clothing, these desserts gradually "quit" and were replaced by snack foods such as shrimp skin, whitebait larvae, shredded squid, green olives and persimmon cakes. In public places in the city, such as parks, amusement parks and squares, there is not only time for renting tea sets, but also "matching" for sale, which is becoming more and more humanized. On the boulevard of Haibin Road in Shantou, there are rows of teahouses. If friends or couples are tired of shopping, they can have a rest and be romantic here. In summer, the sea breeze blows gently, enjoying the sea view and drinking tea at the same time, just as the singer Zheng Zhihua sang "Breathe freely in the salty air", which is refreshing and unforgettable.
