This method was learned from my mother and grandmother. In our Lingnan area, to be honest, I only saw it through pictures. The streets are full of fish ponds and rivers, and there must be longan (longan) trees and lychee trees beside the fish ponds and rivers. Grandma said that in the past, everyone would sing Zhongshan Xianshui Ge while holding a boat. My grandma can still sing, but our younger generation don’t understand. There aren’t that many fish ponds, and now there’s light rail, let alone boats. Back to this pickling method, fresh longan leaves are required. I don’t know why, but I have seen some people put black tea leaves in it. However, my grandma said that in the past, when she was too poor to buy tea, she used longan leaves to make tea. I think the effect of longan leaves is the same as that of black tea leaves!
