At the end of the year, counting nine cold days, often at this time, the taste of the New Year will come. It coincides with the weekend, and the vegetable market is full of popularity, with a variety of fruits and vegetables, but if you want to talk about the "atmosphere group" players, it has to be the sausages and bacon hanging one by one.
On the morning of December 24, the reporter came to Yangpuguohe vegetable market, where the meat stall business was booming. Hind leg meat, sandwich meat, pork belly, pork on the board is placed in stacks, the boss takes up the knife and falls, and after a while, he will divide the pork that everyone needs.
Lao Xue is the owner of this pork stall, has been running the shop for many years, and the harvest is all old customers of the neighborhood. Every morning is his busiest. In addition to retail, he also has to remember the personal preferences of his regular customers. Lao Xue said: "Most people in Shanghai like to eat original flavors, and then young people like spicy flavors. We select meat and sell meat in the morning, because the sausages have to be dried for about 15 days before they can be shipped, and we have a little time to process them in the afternoon, so we are too busy to stop. ”
Lao Xue told reporters that the price of pork has been stable and declining this year, and the business of sausage and bacon is very good. The pork belly is 25.8 yuan a catty, the sandwich meat is 21.8 yuan a catty, and the processing fee is 2 yuan per catty, which is regarded as the seasoning fee charged. The average person buys 20 catties and can fill about 50 sausages, and it is no problem to eat them for a winter. "Although the weather is cold, there is also hope, and the New Year is coming. At this time, it is better to fill sausages, our sons and daughters like to eat them, I will buy more and send them to them, young people don't have time", said Aunt Liu, a resident.
The stall next door specializes in bacon meat. The best bone-in pork belly is 23 yuan per catty. Ms. Shi, the owner, said: "Our ingredient list is very clean, only sorghum wine, peppercorns, edible salt, no processing fees, Shanghainese generally buy salted meat to cook soup, make pickled tuk fresh to eat, and it is warm in winter."
The taste of the world is Qinghuan, the taste buds of the Chinese are the most sensitive, and when the day comes, the heart will remember this old taste. Bacon and sausages are hung high like curtains, and people come and go, as if shuttling through the New Year's street. In addition to these, some preserved chickens and preserved ducks are also placed on the shelves. What everyone eats is not only delicious, but also a look forward to the festival.
