Old friend fans were accused of "difficult to get out of the city around the highway"

Snail pink all over the country, the output value has exceeded 10 billion yuan, but the old friend powder is still a local niche food, accused of "difficult to get out of the city highway", and Nanning bamboo shoots are mostly sold to Liuzhou to make snail powder. How do old friend fans catch up?

As an expert who has studied old friend powder for many years has said, on the taste of old friend powder does not lose snail powder. But it is also a food praised by the local people, a popular all over the country, online shopping platform store sales are often more than 10,000, and even no lack of 100,000 +; a "out of Nanning City around the city is rare", can be described as "raised in the deep boudoir no one asks". In the face of this embarrassing situation, whether it is the producer and seller of old friend powder, or people from all walks of life who are concerned about the development of this cuisine, or local government departments, they will feel more or less distressed.

In fact, old friend fans were also famous for a while. Old Friend Noodles originates from Old Friends Noodles and is a traditional flavor of Nanning cuisine. Anecdotal rumors, in the 1930s, a bedridden patient because of eating the tea house owner's special old friend noodles to relieve the pain, so the book gave the plaque "old friends often come", "old friends noodles" since then got its name, and became famous in Bagui and even at home and abroad. In 2007, Laoyou Fan was selected into the first batch of 26 intangible cultural heritage lists announced by Nanning, and in 2008, it was selected into the second batch of autonomous region-level intangible cultural heritage lists.

Once famous Eight Gui, now the powder shop is decreasing, and even the production process is facing no successor, and the old friend powder can not be described as "wronged". For decades, old friends have accompanied the citizens of Nanning through the storms. Bowls of sour and spicy and delicious old friend powder hold up the hope of one family after another. Needless to say, there are many people in "Old Nanning" who have been engaged in the production and sale of old friend powder for ten years. However, good craftsmanship, good ingredients, and good food culture cannot be well inherited and developed, and they have fallen into the dilemma of "difficult to get out of the circle" or even getting smaller and smaller.

It is difficult for old friends to go out of the circle, and there are indeed some practical factors. All along, laoyou powder is mostly cooked and eaten, the production process is complicated, including rice noodles, sour shoots, peppers, garlic, onions, meat, tempeh, vinegar and other ingredients, and the sales price is only a few yuan to more than a dozen yuan, is a small profit and high-selling products, if you want to operate on a large scale, it is far from enough to rely on independent innovation of merchants. In terms of industrialization, at present, most of them are family-run operations, and there are problems such as lack of brand awareness, chaotic production standards, and low degree of industrialization, which to a large extent also restricts the development of old friends.

As a local delicacy, Laoyou powder is said to be the business experience of small families and small households at a small level, and it is also an important fulcrum that can promote the high-quality development of a local economy. In order to make it successfully out of the circle, it is necessary to continue to exert efforts in many ways. On the one hand, more teachers are needed to carry forward the traditional production process to ensure the taste and texture of the product; on the other hand, we can learn from the successful experience of snail powder, continuously optimize and innovate, and find a way suitable for our own development. At the same time, it is also necessary to get the support of relevant government departments and make efforts in technology, funds, institutional supervision and other aspects.

"A thousand things, in the final analysis, are the affairs of thousands of families." A bowl of old friend powder also touches the hearts of thousands of people. During the two sessions of the autonomous region, some members mentioned the development of old friends and fans, which is actually a good start. I hope that taking this opportunity can make more people pay attention to old friend powder and attach importance to old friend powder, so that it can truly become a characteristic industry in Guangxi and let more people benefit from it.
