This old-school Cantonese has reached an old-fashioned level, and it was probably often used by people in the early 1920s. Maybe it comes from the slogan of the sauce garden producing soy sauce and seasoning, or maybe it comes from the throaty commercial lyrics of the street vendor selling old lemons. According to relevant information, at that time there was a cool fruit called Old Lemon with a salty and sweet taste, which not only fragrant, but also had the effect of dispelling stagnation. Left tooth is cold". In fact, the first time we heard a similar statement was in the first episode of the fourth series of the RTHK documentary "History of Chinese Immigrants". In the film, Uncle Pan in Guangdong holds his own light soy sauce: "The left tooth has eaten the right tooth, the right tooth has eaten the good heart, please buy the light soy sauce king, buddy", as a result of going to Cuba in the 1940s to make a living The Chinese who finally settled in the local area showed pride and nostalgia for the taste of his hometown on his face. Whether it’s mouth-watering or a certain kind of sweet soy sauce, the food it describes in this pictorial sentence must have a fragrant aroma that is breath-taking...I have never eaten old lemons, but I only ate them occasionally when I was a child. Grandma’s self-dipping citrus or Xian Li Qi (the salty lemon in the drink) from Hong Kong-style tea restaurant is used as substitute, but it is not difficult to imagine the multi-layered taste. After chewing and grinding of the upper and lower jaws, surprising chemical reactions are produced. Respond to the taste buds. From conception to completion, this pattern creation has also undergone a "left-to-right-toothed" style of inspiration. When considering the choice of this Cantonese phrase, we looked up the relevant information about the old lemons and the old fruit hawkers. The action of the right tooth doll raising his hand to take the lime is a reference to the packaging paper of the "Refined Fat Hawthorn Cake" produced by the Liangguo Factory of Guangdong-Macao Shengyi Sauce Garden in the 1930s. The raw materials and cold fruit are very popular. According to the information on the packaging paper, it is estimated that in addition to Macau, there are also semicolons in Guangzhou. Of course, the old lemon and soy sauce mentioned above were not produced by Shengyi, but the business model of the sauce factory and the cold fruit snack was not uncommon at that time, and the phrase "left teeth, right teeth" originally originated From which company or hawker stall owner, we can not test with our knowledge and information. "Left teeth, right teeth" as an advertising slogan was rooted in the minds of people in that era, and different versions have also evolved. However, whether the old lemon is pickled with yellow or green lemon, and what it looks like, we do not know. Only in the list of online cooking programs, limes are most commonly used for pickling salty lemons.
