When I was young, when it came to the evening of summer vacation, I liked to drag my parents to eat slices of fish.
At that time, there were one or two on almost every road: the door was full of tables and chairs and benches, and it was full of people at six or seven o'clock, and the nagging sound was very lively.
Flaky fish, which conquered people's hearts by virtue of its delicious taste and affordability, had an unshakable position in Xiangyang at that time. Who hasn't had memories of sitting on the street with friends and family, eating fish, wiping sweat, and chatting?
With the development and progress of the city, there are almost no more shops that can sit on the street to eat and drink, and there are fewer and fewer fish shops. However, the taste in the memory has never left us.

Go, eat slices of fish and go!
Maybe I have been thinking about it for too long, always thinking about the day when I can eat another meal and find good memories of my childhood. So when chatting with the little starfish, I inexplicably said "sliced fish".
"Haha, are you hungry for this too?" I'm worried that no one has a companion, I heard that there is a family that tastes good, and it is close to the company, together?" Stop talking nonsense, go. ”
Look at the little starfish and smile: If we are not in the same way, we must be able to eat together.
The small museum is opened in the Huang family group, and the shops on this road are shorter than usual. But don't be "confused" by this small door, enter the store only to find that there is a backyard, this place is really big.
The owner said that the shed set up in winter to block the wind and snow made the location much less. When the weather warms up after the beginning of spring, the shed will be demolished, and there will be ten more small tables!
I haven't eaten yet, but at the moment I've begun to imagine the happy scene of sitting here with my friends in the summer evening with the "hot wind" and talking happily.

Taste in memory
Master Huang is also an old craftsman, and opened a stir-fry restaurant on Changhong Road in 2001. Later, I learned to make sliced fish with a Chongqing master, and by chance, I came here to open a shop.
The delicious pot that I tasted now, as small as the ratio of each spoonful of spices, was slowly explored and adjusted by Master Huang according to the taste of Xiangyang people.
Although the doors do not open until five o'clock in the afternoon, the ingredients are prepared from the morning. The white catfish purchased early in the morning, now killed and cut, must be filled with two large baskets before being brought to the store.
Watching the master in the shop perform a flowing operation, it only takes one minute for this Mandarin duck pot to be served.
Although the name of the shop is Chongqing Sliced Fish, after improving according to the taste of Xiangyang people, it will not eat spicy stomach pain at all, and for me who is afraid of spicy, the taste is just right.
Xiangyang people generally have heavy tastes, so after improvement, it is more salty and fresh, even if it is not light.
The most satisfying thing for foodies in winter is the food that has a white steam that rises when it boils. Wait until the pot grunts and bubbles, and I can't wait to take a bite.
The richness of the soup base envelops the tender fish in layers, and the aroma comes to the face.
The entrance is not fishy or dry, and the density is as if it is chewing on a cloud. The umami flavor is followed by an infinite swirl of incense and tenderness...

Indulge in the added delicacies
More than four people to eat the most cost-effective, as long as 20 yuan a person. In addition to fish, side dishes are also added haphazardly.
As long as it is not wasted, it is no problem to eat more! Although there is no meat, a full cabinet is still enough for everyone to choose.
There are many kinds of staple foods, wide flour, instant noodles, mille-feuille cake.... There are also handmade dumplings. Every dumpling is freshly wrapped by the aunt in the store, and the filling of leek eggs is very delicious!
While waiting for the pot to open, or if you are tired and want to rest halfway, you can also try seasonal fruits. Oranges are not sour at all, watery, very sweet!
I and the little starfish two people, before eating three plates of side dishes have already been supported, you can see that the amount of fish meat is still a lot.

Ten years of perseverance
We arrived before five o'clock, thinking that there wouldn't be too many people in the store when it first opened a few years ago. Who knew that soon after sitting, there were tables of guests one after another.
At six o'clock, the hall was almost full of people, and many people had fixed the location of the backyard. Most of the people who come are familiar customers, see us taking pictures, and they all praise the affordability and deliciousness here.
Master Huang is very enthusiastic, even if the business is busy before and after running, he will still chat with us. "What does it taste like girl?" "It tastes just right, it's very good!" ...
What can be done in ten years?
Small babies can also start reading and literacy; children can grow into independent adults; ordinary staff can also be promoted to senior leaders...
In this long, long time, there are too many things that can happen, and there are too many possibilities.
Master Huang, on the other hand, chose to use ten years to open a good shop here and show his craftsmanship to every diner who came.
I think that perhaps it is this belief that makes this pot of sliced fish stand the test of time, so that many people, whether near or far, want to come here to taste "fresh".
