Over the years, Dachang mutton has been well-known in Baoshan, and now it attracts many customers from Jing'an, Putuo and even Yangpu District. Mr. Shen and his wife came to the mutton restaurant at 10:30, and the two asked for 130 yuan of mutton, tripe and liver, and ordered a bottle of beer. Mr. Shen said that the two of them came from Jungong Road in Yangpu District, and ate early to avoid the noon rush hour. Mr. Shen said: "I like to eat lamb, tripe and liver here, which taste very good. If you come late, you will have to queue. Once I came to eat on a Saturday and waited for an hour and a half. ”
It is understood that this mutton restaurant in Dachang Town has a history of more than 20 years. Over the years, the store has always adhered to the concept of small profits and quick sales to meet the consumption of ordinary people. In fact, it is not easy to maintain the advantage of affordable prices for more than 20 years, and the key to controlling costs is for family members to work together.
Grandma Qiu of Yaoyao Mutton Restaurant said: "Our family of five people makes it in the mutton restaurant, and usually starts working at 2 a.m., first we have to scoop the meat out of the pot, then remove the bones, turn over the pot and turn it over. It took more than two hours to get these all done before business started. Generally, it closes at two o'clock at noon, and if there is still lamb in the afternoon, it will be sold for a while, and there is no more food for dinner. People come after 4 o'clock in the morning, basically old diners, they come and wait very early, and sometimes they come before the preparations in the store are ready. ”
Grandma Qiu said: "Last year, Dachang Town in Baoshan District helped our mutton restaurant declare 'intangible cultural heritage', which is a valuable spiritual wealth. We must be worthy of the title of 'intangible cultural heritage', continue to work hard, make the mutton restaurant better and better, let more citizens enjoy 'delicious and cheap' mutton and mutton soup noodles, and let the local catering brand of 'Dachang mutton' go further." ”
