The road is a bit blocked, and the bustling traffic is sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Everyone is flying in the same mood. It is already afternoon from Wuhan to Yueyang in the morning. After a simple meal, go for a walk in Yueyang Tower in the evening. To the west of the scenic spot is a lakeside landscape avenue. According to my daily habit, I jogged along the avenue for an hour. I sweated back and remembered the shop recommended by my friend. I turned to Bianhe Street in front of the scenic spot.
The winding retro street is paved with a bluestone road, and the pavements on both sides are antique buildings with blue bricks and gray tiles. There are many people in the upper reaches of the street, and the prosperity of the past has been completely restored, and there is no shadow of the epidemic. In the past, many businesses in the store moved to the front of the store, and small bosses kept shouting "Ginger Sugar", "Xiangganzi", "Sugar Man" and "Thirteen Villages" in Hunan-style Mandarin. Like most tourist attractions, there are many people selling souvenirs of handicrafts, such as folding fans, water cups, sweatshirts printed with "Yueyang Tower" and so on.
Surging forward along the stream of people, on the edge of a stage in the middle of a small street, I saw a booth at the door of a pavement with more tourists, surrounded by several layers of people. In front of the booth, several clean girls, Lili Suosuo, were very busy. The sign on the booth reads "Fairy Bean Cake" and "Grab Shrimp Slippery". Looking up at the road, it really is the "Huxiang special snack" recommended by friends.
There were several rows of seats in the shop, and some tourists who ordered snacks sat down. They also went in and sat down. The boss is a stocky middle-aged man. Seeing that the person who came in was sweating profusely, he quickly smiled and handed a pack of paper towels and a cup of cold boiled water. "Wipe, wipe vain (comfortable)", full of Hunan mandarin.
The shop is not big, and there are only five or six rows of double seats opposite. There is a calligraphy "Huxiang Special Snack" hanging on the wall near the door, and spices such as Hunan-style chopped pepper are also placed on the counter. Above the counter is a Chinese menu, and every dish is written on a brown board. The store is neatly packed, very neat, unlike the snack bar in the general scenic spot, but a little elegant in the aristocratic community coffee shop.
I wasn't very hungry after running, so I tried to order "hand-hitting shrimp slippery" Two minutes later, it is also a disposable small bowl, light yellow, with dark edges and delicate. There are several pink shrimp slides floating in the clear soup with amber and platinum, sprinkled with chopped green onion and garlic in the soup. I tasted it and it was really delicious. I couldn't help eating a few mouthfuls of shrimp. There are vermicelli at the bottom of the bowl and two cucumbers. The umami taste of shrimp is matched with the fragrance of cucumber, and then with chopped green onion and garlic, which is really a very delicious match.
After eating, I muttered to my boss to bring a fairy bean cake, which I also brought quickly. When I asked, I realized that the famous fairy bean cake in Yueyang Tower was made of flour and eggs, stuffed with purple potatoes, durian and red beans, and baked. It tastes good, too. It's very popular with girls.
See if there is any sugar and oil in the shop. Ask the boss. The boss said it was his snack, too. It's not in this shop, not far from diagonally opposite. He also asked the little girl in the shop opposite to bring a bowl. Glutinous rice mixed with sugar is round and lying in a small porcelain bowl like beeswax. Boil some sugar and oil in the bowl and pick up the bamboo sticks to eat. The mouth is full of waxy fragrance and the unique sweetness and comfort of caramel.
A bowl of shrimp paste, a few bean cakes and a bowl of sugar and oil are enough. It is said that there are also famous products, such as dried fruit, lard mixed powder, Hunan-flavored rice tofu and so on. Unfortunately, I can only taste them again.
Look, it's past eight o'clock in the evening, there are a few tourists in the store, and the busy boss is a little leisure, so I pulled him down and chatted. After talking a few words, I found that it is no wonder that this shop is decorated with good taste. It turns out that the boss's hometown is from near Yueyang. I worked as a design director in an art factory in Shenzhen more than ten years ago. Later, when I was old, I didn't want to be too far away from home, and I especially liked to eat, so I came back to start a business. In the past ten years, I have developed from a smelly child's facade to the owner of three shops, including an "Ivy" tea shop and a two-story snack bar. Hi tea shop and smelly dry shop are connected together, and the store design is also very distinctive. The boss's son drew many interesting cartoons to decorate the storefront, which made some wedding companies shoot newlyweds wearing wedding dresses in the background of the storefront.
"The three stores have their own characteristics. Some time ago, Hunan Satellite TV came to Bianhe Street to record a program, and it rained. At noon, the children who recorded the program searched the whole store and finally chose to eat here. Fans are around the store. " The boss recalled the scene at that time and was very proud. "But there are also regrets. At that time, there were too many guests to be busy, and there was no time for the stars to take a group photo in the store. "
"The three stores are all doing pinching (eating), mainly real materials. Flour, glutinous rice flour, oil and other raw materials should be purchased in big supermarkets, and the slippery shrimp must be fresh green shrimp. These dare not be sloppy. " The honest boss talked about his composition, which was originally a smile, and suddenly became serious. Also, the waiters are all college students, working part-time and studying part-time. On the one hand, it is of high quality, on the other hand, it is to help these children.
In the tourist season, it is difficult to stay busy until around eleven o'clock in the evening and open the door at eight o'clock in the morning, but we can see that the waiters in the store are working hard and their faces are full of excitement.
Traveling to a place, I like to taste local snacks very much. Only local snacks can best appreciate different customs. Sometimes the snacks in tourist attractions have their own names, and there will be disappointment and regret after tasting them, but this snack bar beside Yueyang Building and Street is different, and it is worth recommending to friends who like to travel. If there are many people in the group, you can try all the snacks in the store to have a better food experience.
