Customs Related to Xinhui Chenpi Production Technique

Since ancient times, Xinhui citrus farmers have passed on from generation to generation, planting Xinhui Dahong Citrus and tanning Xinhui Chenpi, which has become a famous local specialty of Xinhui, creating a unique Chenpi industry and Chenpi culture in Xinhui. With the rapid development of the economy and the continuous promotion of rural urbanization, the area of citrus tree planting is greatly reduced, and the production of Chenpi is declining; some unscrupulous businessmen use foreign citrus peels to pretend to be Xinhui Chenpi. In order to Xinhui Chenpi brand and reputation, it is necessary to take some strong measures to protect.

The people of Xinhui have always had the habit and experience of storing citrus peels, and every citrus harvest season, we see "buy citrus tanning skin" and hawkers selling citrus across the street and through the alleys, but "only sell the meat, not the skin", forming a "family opening". The unique scenes of "every family opens the citrus peel, the fruit peel hangs on the stove eyebrow", "citrus yellow autumn is high and fresh, the fruit peel is full of WoTang" and "autumn harvest is golden, the citrus peel simmered in salty soup".

The people of Xinhui tend to hang the citrus peel at the end of the stove by the smoke, in order to prevent insects and mold, the more the more fragrant, every family, such as this, has long been a local tradition, passed down from generation to generation, with a long history.
