The sausage is Guangzhou's city card and my life menu.
As early as the streets of Xiguan at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the pleasant sound of intestinal powder being shouted and sold could be clearly heard. The morning market is sold largely, most stores are in short supply, and people often wait in line to eat, so they are jokingly called "grabbing powder" (homophonous with Cantonese).
▶️ The land of the city, the most beautiful style
Today, the intestines are inseparable from the influence of traditional culture. For the people of Guangzhou, a piece of sausage is the longest memory and taste, simple but precious, and is undoubtedly the material wealth left to us by people in the old days.
Back to the street where I ate in middle school,
Old cobblestone road,
Familiar Cantonese greetings,
Everything seemed extra kind.
Today I was a high school student again, and I shouted that familiar sentence again.
"Old thin, lean sausage and egg ah should be."

Estuary stone grinding sausage
The whole Tongfu Road is the most inconspicuous of this store. Next to the net red golden moon food, there are also net red fried aunt, although this sausage shop is not an internet red shop, but the taste is original and simple, but also carries countless Nanbu students three years of memories.
Because it is a stone-ground rice milk, the biggest selling point of Kawaguchi sausage is that the taste is soft and solid, and the powder is rougher than the intestine powder on the market. The powder is sticky, very ricey, and the taste is excellent, which is worth a taste. The soy sauce soaks the intestines completely, accompanied by green onions to freshen up, and the mouth is full of salty, sweet and fragrant aftertaste.
After five years, the taste, portion, and price of the stone milled sausage are all the original appearance, and the support of students and old neighbors is a proof of taste.
Being able to keep the taste and price of a dish unchanged for several years is also a blessing in today's Guangzhou.

Steamed food
Walk along Tongfu Middle Road, past the century-old Haizhu Temple, and come to the "Shenyi Cuisine". After the new renovation, the environment of the store is more spacious and beautiful than before, and the simple furnishings are clean and tidy.
Each table in the shop is basically accompanied by a plate of sausages. The aunt at the cash register was sharp in her hands and feet, and if she looked closely, she could see that the key particles of the intestinal powder were rubbed particularly smoothly.
Before the renovation, their family recipe board wrote a sentence "The intestinal powder of this shop is made by the silver diary master", and the intestinal powder teacher fu from the silver diary has perfected his skills here to "settle down in the heart machine" to make more heartfelt and delicious intestinal powder. The kitchen intestine powder aunt did not forget to add a sentence: "My d intestine powder is good to eat Silver Kee Ka!" ”
The steamy sausage is flexible and chewy, the powder is delicate and crystal clear, and it is just right in the smooth and soft solid. The thin intestinal powder is sandwiched with large slices of meat (kawaguchi sausage is minced meat), green vegetables, leeks, and shiitake mushrooms, which are simple and simple but have endless flavor.
I've always thought of soy sauce as the finishing touch to intestinal powder. The simmering intestinal flour soy sauce has always been insulated by an induction cooker, and the soy sauce made of broth, soy sauce and rock sugar has got rid of the saltiness of the soy sauce itself, and replaced it with a new taste: salty and sweet, with a strong sauce and ester aroma, and the umami taste is prominent. My friends often quipped, "The soy sauce here can be used for bibimbap." ”

Silver kee sausage powder
From Henan across haizhu bridge to Hebei, we came to the long-established net red shop ——— silver kee sausage powder.
Yinji sausage powder is an Internet celebrity shop in Guangzhou, and this one located on Beijing Road (Huifu East) is an old shop among Internet celebrities, although it is a "fly restaurant" with no environment to speak of, Yinji's door is still "long queue".

Pour a thin layer of powder juice on the iron plate, add slices of meat and vegetables and shiitake mushrooms, and in a moment a piece of fragrant white satin will come out, red is meat, green is vegetable, and black is mushroom. Folding intestines is the technique of the masters, folded and cut into two pieces on the plate, poured with soy sauce, bright and red.
Clip it up and put it in the mouth, the dish is the vegetable powder is powder is refreshing enough, a section of sliding down the stomach, although the time to eat faster than the time the masters do, but still willing to wait in a long line slowly.
▶️ Silver Kee beef sausage
Silver Sausage Powder has been famous in Xiguan in the 1960s, and even Hong Kong gourmet Cai Lan has visited the Silver Kee Sausage Powder Shop and written his own inscription "Intestines are King" to praise it.
Smooth beef sausage can add 3 pieces of added eggs or fritters, Guangzhou people call "fried noodles" (fried two intestines), soft and hard fried noodles and smooth intestine powder fusion, fried noodles oil aroma and sausage rice flavor fusion, excellent taste.

At last
Many people will have the impression of eating in Guangzhou: one cup and two pieces, drink tea and sigh, and sit until noon. But most of the people who can enjoy this are urban idlers who come ashore.
The breakfast, lunch and dinner that really belong to the people of Guangzhou may just be a plate of sausages, a bowl of raw porridge, and a fritter.
In the sausage noodle shops on the street, whether rich or poor, young or old, sitting here has become the same person.
The taste of the old times wrapped tightly around the intestines is the mellow sauce aroma, the delicate rice milk, the diffuse steam, the polished iron plate, and the memories of the neighbors.
Born in Si, grown up in Si, the taste of pulling intestines made me understand the preciousness of a stable life.
After a long time away from home, we will always look for a taste in the depths of memory, which is not necessarily the top delicacy, but it must be the most special for ourselves.
Seeing this, if you want to go home, don't forget: go to your hometown appointment, meet your hometown people, and eat hometown meals.
