Little Tan bean flower, foreigners think it is a special sale of bean blossoms when they hear the name, and the old Chengdu people will tell you that it is actually a noodle restaurant. The real situation is that it is an old restaurant that sells both bean blossoms and noodles, as well as a variety of traditional snacks in old Chengdu.
The predecessor of Xiao Tan Bean Flower, the famous "Tan Bean Flower", is now taken care of by the fourth generation of the Tan family, which is currently one of the few in Chengdu, and does not pit foreign tourists in terms of taste and price, nor does it pit the conscience of locals.

The "Little Tan Bean Flower" on West Avenue is opened by Tan Dongsheng, the third generation of "Tan Bean Flower", and has been operating for nearly 28 years since August 1988. Therefore, this shop is also the most recognized by local foodies in Chengdu.
Whether it is lunchtime or three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the store is often full of people eating, including eighty- and ninety-year-olds, as well as children aged two or three. Fortunately, most of the employees in the store are numb, and it will not take more than ten minutes from ordering to eating.
Since the name is "Little Tan Bean Flower", the bean flower must be the specialty of this shop. Steamed bean blossoms, beef bean blossoms, ice drunken bean blossoms, and bean blossom noodles are the signatures, and guests entering the store must order one or two portions per table. Bean blossom noodles, just served up is fine, under the chopsticks stir three or two times, that selling, there is really a sense of "dark cuisine" that is. If you are willing to let go of the prejudice of "looking at the appearance" and reluctantly taste it, the spicy taste is thick, and you are guaranteed to be able to dry this big bowl soon.

Ice drunken bean blossoms and steamed bean blossoms, one sweet and one salty, is it sweet and delicious or salty? There's really no need to compare! Tan Dongsheng said that his family has sold bean blossoms for nearly a hundred years, and has never heard of salty and sweet, "each taking what is good, the right way."
In the gap between waiting places, guests can see the big scene of the small Tan bean flower kitchen: ice drunken bean flower is almost a must-order at every table, and dozens of hundreds of bowls will be prepared in advance at the kitchen counter, and all the bowls will be seen at a glance! bowl! bowl!

On the shelves of the kitchen, several floors above and below are also piled with bowls of seasoning. The master below, holding a large bundle of wet noodles, skillfully threw it into the pot. The master with six bowls of ingredients in one hand has been working in this shop since he was a teenager. However, the waiters who serve the dishes are all three large bowls, and the work efficiency is extremely high.
Holding six bowls of ingredients in one hand was once the benchmark of the Tan family material master, but because of hygiene and other reasons, there are fewer and fewer masters with this Tan family skill, and this shop is also this one.
It is worth mentioning that there is a 90-year-old lady selling egg baked cakes at the entrance of the store, the taste is not good, may not be very good and often burned, but the young people take good care of her business, when queuing up to eat bean noodles, they buy one or two egg baked cakes from her, and they should support the old man to support himself.
<h1>Little Tan Bean Flower = Xiyue City Bean Flower</h1>
In addition to the "Little Tan Bean Flower" on West Avenue, in May 2009, Tan Gu, the fourth generation of "Tan Bean Flower", opened another "Little Tan Bean Flower" in Daqiang East Street, Qingyang District. In September 2015, a third was opened at No. 39 Huaxingzheng Street, a bustling commercial center. In March 2016, the fourth "Little Tan Bean Flower" opened in Taiyuan.
In the "Little Tan Bean Flower" shop, foodies can't understand why they have to hang three signs: "Tan Bean Flower", "Little Tan Bean Flower", "West Moon City Tan Bean Flower". Brain-opening foodies, sometimes they will arbitrarily speculate about these stores, which is the qualified long-established "Tan Douhua"?
To answer this question, we must first understand the history of "Tan Bean Flower". According to existing records, in 1924, Tan Guangyu, a Ziyang man, was arrested and escaped to Chengdu halfway. In order to make a living, Tan Guangyu provoked at Anle Temple, walked the streets and alleys to buy bean blossoms and bean blossom noodles. (According to records, the original site of Anle Temple is the Hongqi Shopping Mall on Shudu Avenue, and the Anle Temple in the Republic of China period was a lively comprehensive market, and businessmen had to rush to Anle Temple.) ）
After a certain amount of money was accumulated, he opened a shop in Yanshikou. According to the old buyer's recollection, there were two well-known noodle restaurants in Chengdu at that time: Shiyou Noodles and Tan Douhua. "At that time, eating bowls of bean flower noodles, only a dime and four cents, buying a paved house near Yanshikou, more than 20 square meters only cost nearly 2,000 yuan." Tan Dongsheng said.
In 1988, as the third generation of the Tan family, Tan Dongsheng reopened "Tan Bean Flower" on West Avenue, operating with the sign of "Little Tan Bean Flower". In 2015, when the fourth generation of Tan Gu opened the Huaxing Main Street branch, he had changed the registered trademark of "Little Tan Bean Flower" to "West Moon City Tan Bean Flower". But the old buyer and the new guest did not know the reason for the change of the name "Tan Douhua", so they simply hung three plaques to let the guests see at a glance.

<h1>The oldest brand that interacts with diners the most</h1>
Although the third generation of Tan Dongsheng has long ceased to personally manage the affairs of the store, the official Weibo of "Little Tan Bean Flower" and the official WeChat of "Xiyue City Tan Bean Flower" have always been personally managed by him, and they are very well-managed, and the words are both rigorous of the older generation, and occasionally the old naughty boy is as lively and interesting.
Through these platforms, he sometimes shares food, as well as insights into food and interacts with old buyers. For example, if someone tweets that he wants to eat steamed bun bean blossoms on Weibo, he will enthusiastically forward the reply and say, "Eat the steamed bun bean blossoms: Steamed buns can not be soaked for a long time, nor can they be mixed and put aside." As the saying goes, bean blossoms are not fat, they all rely on eating a hot, to be hot! ”
However, the main purpose of Tan Dongsheng personally managing Weibo and WeChat is to search for everyone's feedback to grasp the quality of "Little Tan Bean Flower". Young people like to take pictures of meals and comment on the taste and service. Tan Dongsheng is very concerned about these comments, he will turn those who praise him, he will also turn those who complain about criticism, and he will reply very seriously to deal with opinions.
Netizens complained that the boss cut, and the store was uneasy about air conditioning on a hot day. He replied that it was not the boss who cut it, but the store really couldn't find a place to put the air conditioner. After explaining the right thing, I didn't forget to joke with the proverb, "The fart that buys noodles is black, I wish it was snowing all day, you think I like such a hot day." Shhhhhhhhhhhhh
Netizens complained that the old woman of the cash register had a bad attitude, the hygiene in the store was not good, the clerk buckled his scalp and went to pick the noodles, he said to the "injured customers" in the name of the owner of "Little Tan Bean Flower", "Whoever smashes my signboard and destroys my reputation, I will smash whose rice bowl." His attention to the signature of "Little Tan Bean Flower", a famous snack in Chengdu, can be seen.
