　　Chaozhi Sauce is a key ingredient in food seasoning, especially highly regarded in Guizhou. Sauces are found everywhere, made using different methods, and naturally, their flavors vary greatly. Chaozhi Sauce, however, is widely popular among consumers due to its unique production techniques and carefully selected ingredients. The Chaozhi series is especially prized because of its high-quality raw material requirements—using only purely natural and pollution-free wheat or broad beans, which undergo a complex sun-drying process, resulting in an exceptionally distinctive flavor that suits the palates of most people. However, there are very few people who still make sun-dried sauces, as most families that do only produce thirty to fifty pounds for their own consumption and do not sell them on the market. Currently, Dejiang Nuoduhong Food Company has begun processing and developing it. Red-skin water taro lotus is currently the only green, pollution-free vegetable that uses no pesticides or chemical fertilizers, with over 1,000 acres already planted across the county. The pickled stems of red-skin taro lotus, carefully prepared, can rival Fuling pickled vegetables. When eaten, they are sweet, sour, crisp, and appetizing, aiding digestion and relieving intoxication. Rich in fiber, they also help lower blood pressure, making them a delicious dish for all seasons and one that never tires the palate.
