- I never thought the dried skin of a fruit could be so expensive, but Chenpi (dried tangerine peel) has proven me wrong!!

That Chenpi duck looked so nice. Put that on the list Blondie,for me to try when I get to China! BTW, I miss you so so much. Love Dad!
cute dad ❤️
haha cute dad +1
hi dad!
Hope you're doing well!
Big fan
There are 1400 counties in China, each likely having its own little "thing" as a selling point. If you spend a week in each county doing your vlog, you will be doing it for 27 years - almost enough to take you to your retirement.
bahahahah unlimited content!!!!!
@@BlondieinChina as a Chinese, I learn more Chinese culture from you, thank you Amy!
yep, for example, my hometown is known as "underwear town" 2333
@@falsch4761 not really, China's very complex with a extremely long history. Is it sad for a European to say that they are learning more about Europe through someone's vlogs? Lol
@@jackiexiao5188 hahahaah ,,,,i m not sure if you are proud of it..
I chew on a tablet made of tangerine peel before I present the news... I feel like it's pretty good for the throat
Not a bad idea at all!!
Also it reliefs wet coughing by dissolving mucous.
Tangerine peel is good for the throat.
We always keep a jar of stewed tangerine peel, small tangerines with honey in the fridge. A very effective medicine for sore throat.
WOW, Blondie’s Mandarin is so good right now. All the study leading up to coming back to China paid off. Great work blondie.
For an westerner, her Mandarin is a solid 9 out of 10.
She can understand mandarin with different accents 😂that's unbelievable
I agree, her mandarin is better than some of the locals with accent, lol.
@@user-nt5dj1tm3q she knows how speak them accent too
@@SgtStarSlayer haha she and xiaoma should do mandarin showdown in China one day too bad laoshu no longer with us😵💥
I love seeing Blondie out in the wild!! It's giving me a small sense of a return to normalcy
Can't tell you how happy making this first video back in China made me feel! I feel completely myself again :)
@@BlondieinChina better than being in Sydney lockdown 😓
Heather,
The word "normalcy" is not exactly an English word. It was used by President Harding's presidential campaign in 1920. They didn't bother to check the dictionary if normalcy is an English word. Afterward, people used it often, it became legit.
@@Vict0rHy haha here south east Asia more fucked except Brunei Singapore deng
@Chrome Vaper lmao and they still wanna conspire war with China claiming it deliberately reset the world with Wuhan so that CCP is numba wan hypocrasy at its finest yo😄😆
Your knowledge and experience about China is unbeatable. I envy you!
I am amazed at how many different people are interviewed in this episode. This is packed full of information. Blondie has been busy! Also I’d really like to commend her food-commenting ability. I’ve recognized a lot of improvement from her earlier videos. Good work!
Are you also an uselful idiot for the chinese govermant?
A lot of interviews. Guess the longest time of "people not speaking" in this video? Less than 5 seconds(at least for the 1st 10 minutes before I quit watching). 16 minutes video feels like 45 minutes documentary.
@@zilfversurfer2157 are you alright?
@@agie24 offcourse i dont support a regime who supress their people. Are you also a lover of dictatorship and slavery as the other useful idiots here?
@@galih8421 Haha same. Anything 10-12 minutes is sweet spot for me. Above that i lost my span already.
I'm sure you're very happy to be back because even though you were not born there I think this is where your home is thank you for the great video and content
Awww! Sweetest comment
@@BlondieinChina ty for the awesome videos
This was incredibly interesting. Your vids are always entertaining and professional!
thank you SO much!!! I'm really glad you found this kind of topic interesting!
应该当个导演 Blondie 拍的真的很专业 非常好看
@@BlondieinChina SO GREAT!! please do a video on how Aussies and Kiwis can become naturalization of a Chinese citizen and apply Chinese passport next. One step up, Not just go there as tourist.
This is a fantastic video Blondie.
Being a Malaysian Chinese, I am so surprised that you can make such an interesting in-depth presentation on something which I have taken for granted.
You make me recall how my grandma and my mom made 陳皮 from skin of oranges during my childhood in the 50s.
Keep up the great work! 👍
The good thing of watching your video is I can learn how to introduce Chinese food in English .thanks Amy for sharing that.
Yay!!!
Me too. It very refreshing to hear the way you present your video with written & spoken notes. 🙏🙏😁😁👍👏👏👏👏
Haha that's really help for my CET-6 test
Wow Blondie, you're off on a great start.
"cooked Pu-Er tea" should be translated as "fermented Pu-Er tea" because that is the actual difference from the raw Pu-Er. Some aged fermented Pu-Er can cost easily more than $10k for a "tea cake" - the knowledge of Pu-Er can well be a detailed episode in a video series about tea
So well to see Blondie in the wild in China again! :)
Fermented Pu-Er tea is a relatively modern process from the early 70's on how to quickly age Pu-er tea so it becomes affordable. Since traditional aged Pu-er teas from 1000 year old tea trees takes a minimum of 40 years to age and can cost upwards of $75,000usd for a cake. 99% of Pu-er sold today is fermented Pu-er tea, this is the same reasoning of "Late Bottle Vintage" Porto !
Wow, I'm so impressed by this video Amy. Unlike your normal fun food videos, which I enjoyed, this video is so educational, informative and well put together. It is so well thought out with great editing, footage, expert inputs and interviews. I can't imagine how much homework you put into this for it to come out so effortlessly. Also enjoyed your tea and food review in the video so I know what the tea and food taste like. Great work and thank you for sharing as always!! Please say "hi" to your mum, dad and sister from your viewers; will miss seeing them in your video.
These words mean a lot to me!! I was worried making this video maybe people wouldn’t enjoy it as much as my typical food style videos. Hearing your comment makes me feel so happy I chose to make this video! ❤️
@@BlondieinChina As good as any professionally made documentary. Impressive!
@@BlondieinChina these video bring out Chinese food culture, traditional Chinese medical knowledge, informatics of the used of plants from solid till on the dinning table. In fact these type of video is good. Especially not too long but full of fun’s, informations and knowledge. Well done and keep up. Stay safe ,stay healthy and have a good time in China.
@@simunooi5306 Totally agree. Can't believe she did it mostly all by herself and not without a team; because it is very professional yet not boring but fun. I would think any municipality would love to have Amy help/create videos for them to highlight their town specialties to attract visitors or bring in business investment/opportunities. Simply said, the video is just that GOOD! You're awesome Blondie! ^_^
@@BlondieinChina you should do more such informative videos. i enjoyed your tea/coffee planation in Yunnan videos. i guarantee that not many chinese people knew xinhui chenpi. this kind of informative/educational videos is where you truly shine.
Wow, 😍👍 Amy you doing a great job showing the world the culture of China instead of the constant negative publicity from msm. Great work love your passion for China.
it's every where as a spice, often mixed with other spices, in Cantonese cooking
What a fantastic in-depth video about something I’ve casually eaten many times but knew little about. Also great to see you similar to a fish after being released back into it’s natural habitat, the plentiful sea. :D
Ahhh thank you so much! I was worried people might find this video boring, so I'm really happy you found it interesting
@@BlondieinChina it's really interesting and I found I learned something new
@@BlondieinChina
Nicely done video.
@@BlondieinChina ahhh your videos are never boring. they always captivate my attention till the very end and still i m craving more about the topic
@@BlondieinChina haha your video is equivalent the 45 minutes nat geo documentary😄😄😆😆which means i be happy 2 check it out once i ran out of trendy youtube video 2 watch
OMG one of my patients brought me a jar of chenpi from Xinhui he said he brought with him to the US when he left China over 40 years ago! I gave it away... I didn't know!
A Jar? OMG, you would be super rich.
thats a lot of money！！
OOOHHHHH boyyyyyyyy you should have kept that jar hahahah
Oh no
@@BlondieinChina 心碎了哈
There is an old saying that Guangdong 廣東 has 3 treasures 三寶，namely chenpi 陳皮 old ginger 老薑 and straw 禾稈草。You would hardly believe that a red bean dessert porridge cooked with 50-year old chenpi would cost equ. RMB500 in Hong Kong. Ginger is also extensive used in Cantonese cooking and as a common supplement catalyst in Chinese medicine. Straw grass is even more widely used in many aspects in daily life in cooking, poultry, house building, fertiliser, packaging, etc. I can still remember we used to sleep on straw mat 禾稈草蓆centuries ago when air con is not yet available (and can’t afford to buy rattan mat藤蓆） during summer time.
As a Chinese I don’t even know this Chenpi culture in Xinhui. Thanks for sharing us this wonderful video, very informative. will get a chance to visit there next time
Big thank you Amy for showing us China is safe, clean and practises law and order. No graffitis, no trash, no drug peddlers and no homeless in the street.
Not to mention normal citizens just living their daily lives.
Do you think the CCP would allow any upload containing those kind of things. Think of these vlogs as the airbrushed versions...
@@kelseyalvesdorosario4422 Simple, do as l did. Buy a two way air ticket, fly over and see for yourself. Thatz beats ALL the craps and bullshits the "other countries" are campaigning.
A country of 1.5 billion people with no homelessness or drug addiction. Obvious rubbish
@@natfoss5031 Why don't you ask Amy yourself?
Interestingly as a Chinese watching an Aussie introducing something China and I found it this very fascinating! The fact is as a Chinese living in Sydney watching you eating the restaurants I have been to is just like yeah, I been there, this was good restaurant and other one was not that great. Interesting!
I am so looking forward to your new adventure in China !!
The 8 treasure duck can have different "treasures" aka stuffing. The version I had was stuffed with abalone, Chinese ham, sausage, glutinous rice, diced mushrooms, salted egg yolk, dried scallops and dried shrimp. Yum. It was delicious but super expensive.
Add some into red beans soup (also added some rock sugar) or into beef stew (Chinese style) will make the taste more favour .
Xinhui is my lovely hometown, so excited when I saw you introducing Chenpi!!! Enjoy your time exploring China and look forward to more intriguing episodes!
This is a very well done show introducing Chenpi. Very impressed!
i just love how all of them explain to her so much, they are really kind
I can feel that you dedicated yourself to this video! I am from Guangzhou and now in Sydney, but you are more knowledgeable of Chenpi than me!!!!! Lol! It is a really good try to introduce this complicated Chinese traditional staff, a little bit academic though, but I appreciate your hard work!!!!!!😁😁😁😁
YES!! This is what I’m subscribed for. As much as I loved the Chinese food adventures around Sydney, this is the real authentic slice of pie that I’ve missed so much on this channel. Love these mini-documentaries the most!
So happy for you to be back to your home away from home!!! And looking forward to living vicariously through you by means of your videos - keep them coming Blondie BACK in China 😉
This is great content! You really approach everything you see through the lens of learning and experiencing. Plus the fact that you take time to subtitle everything is great bc its actually helping me bone up on my Chinese vocab!
The chenpi store must be really confident in their security. That 1950 chenpi jar should really be stored away inside a safety deposit box considering it could be used as a down payment on a home.
let's hope she got that insured
Crime in China, especially property or inventory theft is low. Cameras are all around and punishment is severe, unlike in the states, where you get probation or a warning. They do have a security door.
Dried stuff are cheap back home... didnt expect them to cost a bomb in china haha
trust me. it's all marketing. unlike tea or wine, aged tangerine peel is a only small part of the ingredients, it imparts a pleasant citrus fragrance. nobody can tell the difference the common vs. expensive.
The value of chenpi is hard to grasp. There's too much uncertainty to it that even someone stole it from the the store, the buyer would most likely not be able to evaluate the price. The industry is probably not as developed as wine or baijiu either. Nobody can tell whether it's 5 or 50 years old unless you're the one who's selling it.
Didn't realise chenpi has so many uses and benefits! Thanks for another informative video, keep it going!
Welcome to my hometown Jiangmen, Blondie in China! I have been living in Melbourne for over 20 years but I am originally from Jiangmen. Xinhui is a county that has history of over a thousand years. Many people may not know that the first batch of Chinese who immigrated to Australia, the gold miners, were mostly from Xinhui.
Gangmen
@@mustafajanabdul5829 Gangmen is just the Cantonese accent. In mandarin, it’s definitely pronounced Jiangmen.
This video is not at all boring. Much on the contrary, it is fascinating Amy !!!
Yay Blondie is back!!! I’m so looking forward to your new content!!! 😍😍😍😍
so much positive vibe and energy during this "world of smog" period. Great to see you keep it real and keep it simple with elegance. We all need a refresher like this for all cultures around the world. For me, China is where it is at, and Blondie is who it needs to be! : )
Yeah, I watch her videos 50% for the content and 50% for her uplifting personality (and she's pretty, too :D).
Omg Amy I can not express how excited I was watching this video! I been following you for ages and I would of never expected you would be visiting my hometown! 新会 is really well known for 陈皮 but yet has very little exposure when it comes tourism or TH-cam in comparison of other places in China. So I am really glad you are exploring there and spreading the knowledge on 陈皮! Also since covid I haven’t had a chance to go back to 新会 and I miss it a lot. So thank you for bringing me this feeling of familiarity😭😭❤️
Thanks for documenting your adventures in your recent videos!! Xinhui is my birthplace and hometown, and the last two ending scenes here are such a nostalgic blast from the past
Your enthusiasm is always catching!
Wow this is truly a documentary even the professionals would envy ! Interesting presentation! Learned so much about the humble tangerine skin! Never knew there was much to a skin than meets the eye. Blondie, you are really n your element here! 谢谢 n 加油!
I can’t wait for all of your new videos from China!! It’s so interesting to learn about how different even small areas are and what makes them unique ☺️ hopefully once the Sydney lockdown is over I’ll be able to try out some more of the restaurants from your past videos to feel a bit less stuck in Australia haha
I've always thought I knew something about Chenpi since I either eat it as a snack or have it in my red bean soup till I watched this video. Great stuff! Thanks for sharing.
- wow so much work, effort and passion went into this one video. thank you so much blondie! -
Chenpi most popular ingredient
By the Cantonese widely use all over south east Asia for making soup & desert .
thank you for your video Blondie, it makes me realize how we Chinese put our values into any food ingredients
This is one of your best vlogs. I enjoyed the well-researched content with an adequate number of interviewees. Makes me feel like making a visit to the place.
I can't believe that I am learning things from a blondie even though I am a Chinese. Stuck in the US due to COVID-19, really want to go back to my hometown with my family.
Amy, the older ones are that expensive because they also needed to properly store them as well. And because we don’t have time machines. Once it’s consumed it’s gone right?
Edit: you can also find a good batch and store them yourself. It’s much cheaper that way.
yeah, that 70 years old jar is as old as PRC.
It's rolling 70 years, you will get new supply every year, not to mention mixing in some 40 years ocationally
Congratulations!u r back to China! And love ur adventure like always!
Loved watching and learning with you about tangerine teas. Cheers for that Amy.
Wow... impress by the level of information shared in this video. Usually you tried to do that in your other videos but for this video is really back to back. Feel very professional together with fantastic editing. Well done, I think your years of doing youtube have polished your hosting skill to a really professional level!
This is fascinating. Thanks for sharing. Never know that before.
Thank you for your sharing Blondie. You are definitely broadcasting positively to the world especially most western people who don't know even a little about China.
OMG, this is the first time in my life that I see the culture of my hometown on TH-cam, and I am so happy. Thanks for this great video, keep it up.
Man. I admire the chefs they work so hard and lifting all the heavy woks and standing all day. Really hard working.
I can see how much effort you put in this video, especially the Chinese-English translation. Some are quite hard. amazing!@
Very interesting video. Always saw my mother using chenpi, never thought about the benefits :)
The amount of preparation behind the scene👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Amy really put a lot pf thought and hard work into it. I’m so looking forward to future uploads!!!
Loving the in-depth video like this! Keep up the great work!
Congrats for out of quarantine! I love your video! I am Chinese and lived in Sydney for more than 10 yrs. We recently moved to China-Beijing and so glad that i found your video as we have so much in common!!! It's really nice to watch your Sydney videos which brings back so much of my memories (especially our Aussie accent)! Hope u will visit Beijing soon:) And a quick question, how do you make friends in China. For me I find it really hard to make friends(with similar background) here in China!!! Hope you can reply 😃
Very interesting! I would have never guessed chenpi has such a rich culture and usages. I do love the chenpi teas or Chenpi Beef (Cantonese dish). You never cease to amaze!💪🤠👏♥️
Really great video Amy! Really enjoyed watching your China travels pre-pandemic and am excited you're back doing it again now. Keep them coming!
That's a huge amount of work to put in this video. Congrats! I can see a lot more audiences coming from this. Would love to see more of these as well. Greetings from Guangzhou.
i‘m cantonese, i love chenpi!!! such a great source for cooking. The quality of Xinhui chengpi is definitely standing out from others, you can tell they smell & taste with much stronger citrus fragrance & flavour
Sooooo missed your China vlogs... welcome back & great topic with the chen pi🙂🙂🙂
Still learning more about my mom's hometown! Thanks for the video, love it!
I love this segment of Blondie in China. I remember growing up seeing tangerine skin drying in the kitchen at my parent's restaurant in New York. I now know more about Chen Pi aka tangerine peel!
Oh, Blondie is at my ancestral hometown (Xinhui). Some of our distant relatives could still be there. I was born in Malaysia. haha
Thank You Blondie that was a interesting lesson about Tangerine made into Chenpi, love to buy some in Australia, I don't eat meat but Chenpi for vegs, rice, make my cooking interesting, could do making tea for health reasons. See next time soon. :)
Omg ur video is getting better and better! You surely did a lot of homework on the background and some of the knowledge presented in this video is refreshing for a native Chinese like myself.
However, I don’t suggest you to believe that “the longer it has been stored, the better”. It’s more of a cultural thing that everyone likes old stuff rather than any real benefit.
Thanks Amy for sharing and showing such interesting aspects of China and its culture! It's great to discover such a specific topic and go that deep in detail.
Thanks Amy, just the other day i was wondering exactly why dried mandarin peels are so expensive 😂😂 we actually always dry them at home but i never realized its the variety that counts
Just being in China for a few weeks, your Chinese mandarin has already improved dramatically!
I'm impressed at how you're able to show your viewers so much of the ins and outs of Chinese culture. You know way more than I do!
Wow thanks! This was very informative and makes me appreciate chenpi a lot more now. Another great video 😁 lotsa love from Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦
Bravo, such a refreshing video! As a northerner living in Hong Kong, I learned more about chenpi and Guangdong cuisine from an Aussie girl than from any other sources in my life! Xinhui should name you as its chenpi ambassador to the world! 加油💪陈皮女神! 🌺😃
Hope you enjoy Hong Kong & our fishy tastes & bitchy attitude! (sorry if Cantonese are rude to northerners) O____o
Back to where you truly shine, out and about. The length of this video is perfect.
Thanks Amy. I learned more about Chenpi in Xinhui from this video than I learned about this product in all 83 years of my life. No kidding.
Your show really have depth, super entertaining and educational,job well done mate!
You've upped your game with all hard work you've put into this video, it was excellent. It had so many cast of characters and from tea sipping to having a meal. I see a different type of energy in you now that you're back in China. China is your home... don't let anyone convince you otherwise. I'm sure China is honoured to have you back! A toast to your happiness, success and good health in China. 🍵 🍵
Great presentation of a very dry topic!
Glad to hear u ar out of quarantine, tangerine peel stuff is something new to me, very good info👍🍊
Usually, these orange peels are completely garbage in USA. I had been lived in Minnesota for few years, in a weekend cleaning process, I found few bright orange and white plastic parts under the bottom of fridge. After checking it for few minutes, I finally realized these were the orange peels. Since Minnesota is very cold during winter (-25 ~ -40 C), these orange peels are fully dehydrated in a very short period of time; therefore, the color is well kept.
Blondie, Thank you for taking the time to describe so thoroughly the ingredients and process by which to make the eight treasure duck. The details of food and ingredients help the rest of us connect to China through food and ingredients. Your sharing of regional specialties and ingredients helps to explain the vast diversity of what China has to offer. Other components to include are the geography/microclimate which dictate what plants grow where and why, which determines what the hyper local ingredients are. Each ingredient requires specific conditions (temperature, water requirements, cold requirements, etc).
Really learned a lot of English words uses for describing food from her videos. Truly informative!
Can’t wait to see your next chapter to enhance my knowledge
You gave your global audience an incredible learning experience here. So many comments in such a short time. Looking forward to more content from you.
Amy, this video is beyond good! You have a good style and talent on this kind of documentary type videos. I enjoyed every minute of it!
I'm learning a lot of new things about my home country from you now. Thanks! Welcome back!
BTW is face hair a thing in Xinhui? lol
its so good for coughs, when i got man flu, make a hto drink with it, and can get them in sugar to eat . fixes that tickly cough. super nice aswell
There are actually many more interesting places in the southern part of China, may be trying to make a short trip to Zhongshan to taste out their baby pigeons and fresh water fish 😀😀😀
squab.
Your content is both original and educational .. love following your adventures
What a wonderful and very informative video! I hope you are enjoying your time overseas! You are thriving in your element❤️🔥
Impressive! Thank you for sharing =) Also seems like the first time in my whole life that I hear "Chen pi" so much, haha.
Guangdong is one of the capitals of Chinese food. Hope u enjoy fantastic food there.
You help bringing two cultures and even two peoples closer, leading to mitigating misunderstanding for two countries. Thank Blondie!
I loved how creative they are
They even made face mask 😷 .
Awesome 👏🏻
Damn, the Cantonese accent Mandarin, love it. Lol
Congrats on finishing quarantine!
Thanks Miranda!
I've learnt many words to describe the flavours of food,such as tang, subtle, tartness and savory. Very educated and informative
Amazing. Wow!! So glad you're back in China. I've been enjoying your videos. 谢谢。
Btw @8:46 the shop assistant actually said," 珍藏 (zen1cang2). Think she meant that because this aged 陈皮chenpi is so rare, (perhaps too expensive anyone to buy), now they are on display merely as 'Treasured Collection' for admiration purposes.
