It’s common to see people gathered around small wooden tables at street food stalls (or even high-end restaurants), savoring these perilla-stir-fried river snails.

Chēngjiǔ is nothing more than a homemade glutinous rice wine brewed using traditional rural methods, but it follows a strict brewing schedule: distilled on the Double Ninth Festival and diluted on the Winter Solstice. That is: the glutinous rice is steamed, cooled, mixed with local distiller’s yeast, and then fermented in a jar. After half a month, the mash in the jar is stirred evenly and an appropriate amount of warm water is added. A week later, another batch of glutinous rice is steamed, slightly cooled, and formed into rice balls (with distiller’s yeast placed inside), which are then returned to the original fermenting jar to continue brewing. This process is repeated 2–3 times. Finally, the mash is filtered out, leaving behind the finished chēngjiǔ. This wine has a bright greenish hue, a rich aroma, a well-balanced flavor with a hint of sweetness, a strong yet smooth alcohol presence, and a gentle taste that makes you want to drink more—until you feel light and euphoric... It is quite popular among people.
