"Changsha is delicious wherever you go." In a variety show, Zhang Yixing, who is affectionately called "Changsha Little Pride" by Changsha people, said this sentence that resonated with the scene. "I have a noodle shop that I like to eat, in Pozi Street. Her powder shop has been open for decades and I've known this shop since I was a kid. ”
What powder shop makes Zhang Yixing "call" for it?
Come to the "Center of the Universe" to eat a bowl of rice noodles
In recent years, Changsha has become one of the most popular "net red" cities, the May Day business district has been jokingly called "space center" by netizens, and Pozi Street is a well-known "punch point" in Changsha. Coming here, the modern atmosphere of the internet celebrity Changsha and the charm of the old Changsha are intertwined: because of the popular documentary "Guarding the Liberation of the West", the Pozi Street police station, tourists holding their heads to take pictures has become the standard. Modern tea drinking tea yan yue color opened a number of stores in Pozi Street, each of which is a long queue.
The fireworks accumulated over the decades are still strong, and tourists walk into the fire palace, eat stinky tofu, watch the big theater stage, and feel the charm of old Changsha. During the promotion of Alipay red envelope code, customers can receive red envelope discounts by scanning the red envelope code before Alipay, merchants can also earn cash rewards, and guests are happier, Cao Ling, one of the managers of "Wanton Sister", said happily.
Compared with the fame of these "punch points", the noodle shop is more low-key. Ordinary storefronts don't look anything special. However, as a flour shop located not far from the mouth of Pozi Street, The Noodle House is the first stop for many outsiders to experience the culture of Changsha rice noodles. In other words, the good impression of tourists on Changsha rice noodles, the Noodle House has a certain contribution.
"The celery soup base, the thick and thin rice noodles that are appropriately soft and slippery, the dazzling yards, and the chopped peppers that are always casually put are the four trump cards. In the four years of college, the whole dormitory has had many morning classes in order to have a bowl of powder for Sister Wanton, and the first stop of friends from out of town can only be Sister Wanton. Sister Flour Mill is my Michelin three-star flour mill. "On the Internet, some people have commented on the flour house of the sister.
"I came to eat when I was in college. When I was shopping, I stumbled into the store and found that the taste was very good! Unexpectedly, Zhang Yixing also loved to eat. The customer, Ms. Wang, has been working in Changsha for many years, and she and Zhang Yixing "see the same hero."
Flour soup, rice noodles, yards, chopped peppers, all have exquisite
In Changsha, there is a saying: one powder shop has closed, and three powder shops have opened. To open a powder shop in the lively Pozi Street, it is even more necessary to produce excellent products. How did the Noodle House of Wanton Sisters stand for so many years and make people remember?
There are classic simmering yards, such as shredded meat, miscellaneous sauce, ribs, beef, shiitake mushroom hearts, and there are also fried codes with Changsha characteristics, such as shredded chicken, scrambled eggs with chili peppers, stir-fried shredded meat with squeezed vegetables, pork liver, and sour and spicy chicken offal. No matter what the yard, the powder soup is the soul of a bowl of powder. The powder soup of the noodle house is rich and delicious, so that people can't help but drink some soup after eating the powder.
"The powder soup is delicious, and it is by the barrel bone. We changed the barrel bones diligently, one batch in the morning, one batch at noon, from early to late. It takes 60 pounds of barrel bones to cook soup in one day. Boss Xiao Yuying said.
The strict control of raw materials is carried out to every material and every link of a bowl of rice noodles. Pork only uses front leg meat, beef only buys yellow beef. Rice noodles are purchased from Changsha's veteran rice noodle brand "Yinzhou". The chopped peppers in the shop are hand-chopped by the chef, and no canned pre-processed products are purchased.
Over the years, the flour mill has a fixed supplier of raw materials, fresh rice noodles, pork, beef, and bone tubes delivered early in the morning and sold on the same day. "The suppliers are old acquaintances, but we never bargain, we just want them to be of good quality."
Every morning at five or six o'clock, the kitchen starts to be busy, boiling water, stewing soup, simmering yards, chopping peppers, steaming hot. At about 7:30 in the morning, the public began to enter the store one after another. There is an old father, Xiao Yuying is deeply impressed, his legs and feet are inconvenient, every morning by his wife to help, come to the store to eat bowls of meat powder.
Changsha's night economy is developed, even in the early morning, Jiefang West is still stuck in traffic. At night, there are always people who want to find a "late-night canteen", and the noodle shop has been open for 24 hours, and after the epidemic, it was changed to open until 2 a.m., so that people can eat a bowl of steaming rice noodles late at night.
The four sisters joined hands to start a business, and the powder shop was opened for 16 years
The reason why the flour shop is called "Wanton Sister" is because the owner is four good sisters: Xiao Yuying, Cao Ling, Li Haibing, and Liu Dan. The four are not sisters, but they are more like sisters. Among them, Xiao Yuying can be said to be a "soul figure", and there are her classmates among the sisters, as well as her girlfriends. In 2005, the four sisters were either laid off or unemployed. Before that, the four sisters had only eaten flour and had not done rice noodle business, but the four of them had decided to do business together to make a living, simply starting from a bowl of rice noodles that Changsha people could not do without.
Sisters work together, and their profits are broken. Four good sisters help each other and have infinite courage.
At the beginning, some people also questioned, "Four diners, engage in a powder shop, see if you can do a month." The four sisters listened to the taste in their hearts, and they were stunned to do a good job in the powder shop business. At that time, there were only six or seven people in the store, including four people, and the four sisters were the boss and the employees, and the powder, cashier, miscellaneous, busy outside, thanks to the Alipay collection code, the money was not troublesome, and you could concentrate on doing the rice noodles well. The business is getting better and better, and the small shop of fifty or sixty square meters has become a large point of one hundred square meters, and six or seven people have become twenty or thirty people.
At that time, it was questioned that it could not get a "month" of small shops, and it has gone through 16 years.
Today, the four sisters are also sixty years old, but each one looks energetic, raising his hands and feet, and speaking between them is still the sharpness and directness of Changsha Sister Tuo.
"The four of us take turns, as long as one of us is in the store." Xiao Yuying said. The store uses the Alipay QR code to collect, the collection speaker reports the amount of payment, even if there are many customers, the cashier is enough for one person. The account is also clear and clear, the amount of income is clear and clear, search for "merchant services" on Alipay, and the monthly daily bill can be easily queried with one click. Children get married, family affairs, travel, which sister sometimes needs to go out is no problem, the business is still well organized. "Alipay also has the activity of scanning the code to receive red envelopes, which is equivalent to helping us give consumers a discount, and everyone likes it."
As the "net red" Changsha becomes more and more popular, the noodle shop that has insisted on the current day has also become an "internet red". After Zhang Yixing recommended the noodle shop in the show, the store welcomed many young people who came. Everyone wants to see if the rice noodles recommended by Zhang Yixing are good or not. The answer lies in a bowl of powder.
