"The shop that sells chestnuts in Wuhan is actually the same big boss behind it, and you can make a manuscript?"
This gossip made the newsroom selection meeting suddenly come to an end.
A huge business empire hidden behind a small chestnut shop?
Who's behind the scenes? What's the best gossip? Imagination.
"I don't know exactly which chestnut shop said this news... Listen to what others have said, many years ago..."
I always want to make a big news, but before I started, the clues were broken.
Then solve the case yourself!
Public reviews, search for "chestnut".
"Great Wall Wild Chestnut Li Qiang Specialty Store" ranked first, next to Wuguang, at the intersection of Aviation Road, the store has been included for 14 years and has more than 400 reviews. The water tower also has a Li Qiang, the store is included in 10 years, more than 300 reviews.
Reviews so much? Could it be that the legendary big guy is Li Qiang?
The computer searched for "Li Qiang + Chestnut" and found that things were not simple. (Detective pushed the glasses)
Wuhan is full of streets "Great Wall chestnuts", which are actually caused by him.
Li Qiang began to operate "Great Wall Chestnut" in 2003, first opened in Wuguang Zhongshan Park, and the second store was in Jianghan Road Water Tower, with long queues every day.
Because Li Qiang's business is too good, hundreds of chestnut shops in Wuhan have followed suit and successively hung up the "Great Wall Chestnut" brand.
"Chutianjin Bao" and "Wuhan Morning News" interviewed Li Qiang in 2006, and the secret of the hot business is the source of goods, using Hebei Yanshan chestnuts. There is little rain and long sunshine in the north, and chestnuts are generally better than in the south.
In order to distinguish the "Great Wall" of fish and beads, Li Qiang registered the "Great Wall of Yu" trademark for his chestnut.
relaxed? Henan? Keep digging, there are big discoveries:
“...... Villager Li Qiang, who runs chestnut stir-frying in Wuhan, has opened 7 chain stores, and last year's net income reached more than 1 million yuan..."
This is what Li Qiang said in 2013 when he accepted a front-page headline in the People's Daily.
Boasting about Henan people, bringing many affordable foods to Wuhan, monkey king raw hot is opened by Henan people, and the mille-feuille cake shops on the streets of Wuhan are almost all hometowns in Nanyang, Henan.
Could it be that there is also a Henan gang behind the Wuhan chestnut shop?
Li Qiang chestnut I have not eaten, the clues of the network search, can roughly deduce that Li Qiang has been relocating around Wuguang: Wuguang office building downstairs, SOGO downstairs, Zhongshan Park next to the radio compound entrance, aviation road intersection ...
WuGuang VS Jianghan Road which Li Qiang is more delicious in BBS sparked a heated discussion
Where to move, where the old diners chase. Friends who work at the radio station said that Li Qiang really queued up quite a lot of people before:
"Once upon a time there was a row of facades downstairs at the radio station, Zhou Black Duck, Yi Ji Sour Chili Powder, Li Qiang Chestnut... Later, the row of food was demolished, the flower beds were repaired, and Li Qiang's chestnuts were sold in our broadcast compound for a while, pushing a cart, passing it from the railing to the outside, or quite a few people lined up..."
Hundreds of comments from the public, the latest few make people nervous: "the taste has changed", "changed the boss"...
Mixed reviews are confusing
No, no, I haven't eaten Li Qiang yet, won't really change the boss, right?
Are Li Qiang chestnuts delicious? Where is the real Li Qiang now?
On weekday morning, there was a sporadic queue of Li Qiang chestnuts at the intersection of Aviation Road, and strangely enough, there was no machine for frying chestnuts in the store.
I asked my sister-in-law: Aren't chestnuts fried now?
The sister-in-law stood up from the chair in a hurry: "The shop is too small to fry, and it can't be fried. ”
Public reviews show that Li Qiangli has 3 stores near Wuguang, and went to see it on the spot, only the one at the intersection of Aviation Road was open, next to the dwarf pie.
The bamboo dustpan contained a large basket of chestnuts, touched it, and the temperature. Continue to ask: the boss Li Qiang, do you know?
The sister-in-law said that she had only been here for a few months, and she did not know. Coming here to guard the shop is introduced by Hunan compatriots.
Do not know Li Qiang is also normal, ten years ago on the net income of millions, the pride of the whole village, it is estimated that it has long retreated behind the scenes?
Chestnut buy 20 yuan get 10 yuan, the taste can not be said to be amazing, can only say that the plain, the taste is still soft and sticky, the aroma is general, nothing rotten.
Am I expecting too much? Or as rumored, Li Qiang changed the boss? The plastic bag had two cell phone numbers printed on it, and I decided to call to try it.
The first number, no one answered.
The second number, through, a young woman was very impatient: "Typing wrong, I don't sell chestnuts, why do you always ask me to buy chestnuts?" ”
Unwilling, he went to the water tower the next day and continued to look for Li Qiang.
Water Tower Li Qiang also has several waves of people queuing up, and the shop has a machine for frying chestnuts.
The chestnuts here are hotter, taste better than Wu guang, softer and sweeter, but not amazing.
What confuses me is that the plastic bag of the water tower store is not printed with the name "Li Qiang", but "Li Zongyuan" ???
Yin's mobile phone number is also different from Wu guang li qiang??? Really changed the boss???
Top: Wuguang Li Qiang plastic bag. Bottom: Water Tower Li Qiang plastic bag. Printed with different names and mobile phone numbers.
Dial the mobile phone number, this time it turned out to be through. It was a man: "I am Li Qiang, and Li Zongyuan is my son." ”
I will believe and doubt, and start a round of dialogue on "how to prove that you are Li Qiang".
The detailed location of Li Qiang's hometown has long been mastered from the People's Daily, Henan Province, Xinyang City, Xunhe District, Dongshuanghe Town, Duhe Village.
After verification, it was basically confirmed that it was Li Qiang himself.
How old are you?
fifty. (Started selling chestnuts twenty years ago, age on top)
Seven stores before?
Before, now the rent façade is expensive, closed, on the water tower, the air road open. The façade of the zhongnan house is ripping off, and now it is not open, there is a family on Jianghan Road, which was repaired some time ago, and it has not been opened.
The village party secretary said that you earn millions a year...
Now the façade is expensive, and I can't earn it.
I inquired about a few parent city chestnuts, said to find you to buy goods, really?
Impossible, I collected chestnuts myself not enough to sell, impossible to give to others.
I heard that Li Qiang changed the boss, the taste is not as good as before, and they all think that you make money and do not sell chestnuts
Impossible, I harvest the chestnuts myself every year, in the same place, cold storage in the white sandbank. Chestnuts are not delicious may be July or August, eat old chestnuts, the taste is worse. I've just come back from harvesting the chestnuts, and now I'm sure it's delicious.
The case of finding Li Qiang was solved, but I was not satisfied.
Li Qiang chestnut taste is acceptable, can only say, buy along the way do not regret, not amazing enough to be worth specially tasting.
I was in the company group, a fifty cent bounty, a good chestnut shop, and the solicitation was as follows:
A poinsettia of wild chestnuts
No. 155 Taipei Road (opposite Taipei Road School)
More than ten years of old stores, the queue position is not lost to Li Qiang, hungry orders have been ringing.
The boss lady Li Jie was too busy to talk, she said, Tian Kejing often came to buy her chestnuts, "you can meet yesterday", and showed the small video in the mobile phone.
Sister Li's husband is in charge of the spoon, two large stoves, now fried and sold.
The queues were waiting for the "heavy sugar chestnut", and I tasted it and played an exclamation point!!! I guarantee that in Wuhan, I will not be able to eat a second such heavy sugar chestnut !!!
Luo Tian large chestnut, scratched, added sugar and honey sautéed, soft sticky flavor, sweet into the chestnut meat. The open chestnuts of other people's homes cannot fry such a seductive effect of skin and flesh.
I always thought that Luotian chestnuts were only suitable for cooking vegetables, and it was not delicious when stir-fried, and I was wrong.
Don't like to eat sugar, heavy sugar chestnuts may be a bit of a mole. Here also sell sugar-free chestnuts, gentle, unopened, original, also delicious.
Tips
"Heavy sugar chestnuts" are too pretty to sell in the store. Takeaway orders should note "heavy sugar chestnut", otherwise the default delivery is sugar-free with soft chestnut.

Moving west chestnuts
Opposite 64 Cedar Road, Wansongyuan (next to JinYan beef powder)
When I inquired about Li Qiang along the street, I accidentally ate this good. At that time, the boss laughed when he heard the name "Li Qiang":
"He used to move west with us to collect chestnuts, but then he didn't look for us to buy... Why bother with Li Qiang? Li Qiang has become history... Qianxi chestnut, understand, Chinese chestnut belongs to Jingdong, Jingdong chestnut belongs to Qianxi... The chestnuts in the west are also quite fake..."
It just so happened that day that I bought a bag of chestnuts in a certain store, known as Qianxi, to identify the boss, and he laughed again, "Fake." ”
Involuntarily, the boss broke open a chestnut and began to teach: "Qianxi chestnut is also called "purple jade", the early Qianxi chestnut is yellow kernel, the middle and late stage nuts are purple, and the broken happy nuts are a bit dark.
The chestnut on the left has a purple heart
"Zunhua, Xingtai, take the saplings of Qianxi, and they can also grow purple hearts." Therefore, the purple heart is not necessarily the Qianxi chestnut, and without the purple heart, it is certainly not the Qianxi chestnut. Strange poses added again.
I tasted it, it was powdery, sticky, sweet, it was really delicious, and the office was unanimously praised.

Chestnut Wanxiang
Wusheng Road CapitaLand/ Qingshan Zhongyuan Square/ Qingshan Aoshan Century City, etc
Has been prejudiced, fried chestnuts this earthy snack, shopping mall chain is certainly not as good as the street taste.
Chestnuts are soft and sticky, especially easy to peel off. Send a chestnut peeling gadget, you can peel out a whole chestnut, the nuts are complete, simply happy.
The nut has a purple heart, which should also be a good chestnut in Hebei.
The packaging bag has a high value, and different paper bags are changed every day from Monday to Sunday, which is carefully designed at a glance.
And the name Chestnut Wanxiang, the boss is a Chen grain fan?

Raw and eaten
"Fried chestnuts are violent, raw chestnuts are delicious!"
Huanggang's friend in the office said that every time it was chestnut season, her family would buy ten pounds of chestnuts, with brown chestnut shells, and air dry.
Moisture evaporates, sugar condenses, naturally carved sweetness, fried chestnuts are absolutely incomparable.
I immediately wanted to go to Luo Tian to play chestnuts, and I learned that the season had passed.
Chestnut comes with its own appearance effect, just see the word "chestnut", it is like smelling sweet aroma, hearing black quartz sand tumbling in a cauldron, and holding the hot steam in your hand.
The weather was getting colder, the city was dusty, the wind was hurrying down the street, I was willing to stop for the chestnuts, and the roasted red amaranth. They are all autumn and winter comforts.
Li Qiang is still that Li Qiang. Perhaps in recent years, more and more delicious chestnuts have been lined up, and he is no longer special.
The so-called "chestnut gangster" and "chestnut Henan gang" do not exist at all, Wuhan chestnut shop owners from all over the world, mostly hang the Great Wall, Qianxi, Huairou brand, as for which chestnut is sold, can only be self-screening, laymen are difficult to eat.
In the past two days, I have eaten seven or eight chestnuts, summed up the experience, and eaten while it is hot. The temperature is much more important than the origin of the chestnuts.
