In the past, powder soup and sheep blood sold five or six hundred bowls a day, and now sell thousands of bowls of "Loading Stage" filming location shop owner: Inside and outside the play, Xi'an people are just as realistic

At lunchtime on the 8th, there was a long queue at the entrance of the Huiji Powder Soup Sheep Blood Shop in the small south gate. The reporter saw that the seats in the store were already full, and many customers simply sat at the small table outside the store, eating steaming, spicy and fragrant powder soup and sheep blood. Because of the popularity of the TV series "Loading Stage", this small shop, which was once one of the filming locations of "Loading Stage", has once again aroused people's hot discussion, and many people have come to taste this famous Snack of Xi'an. The owner of the shop said that in the past, powder soup and sheep blood sold five or six hundred bowls a day, and the TV series was broadcast, and now it sells thousands of bowls a day, which is simply busy.

Hye Young-kuok, the owner of the pink soup sheep blood shop, said they had been running the small shop for 17 years. "After I was demobilized from the army in 1997, I returned to Xi'an in 1998 to drive, and in 2003, I opened this powder soup sheep blood shop in Xiaonanmen."

It is understood that there are many old restaurants of the same type on this street, and they can gain a firm foothold here, and the hardships are needless to say. Therefore, when Master Hui talks about his entrepreneurial experience, he can't help but think of the characters in the TV series "Loading the Stage".

Hui Rongguo told reporters that the TV series "Loading Stage" came here to shoot, or in June 2018. "Of course, we fully cooperated, as long as the shooting time could avoid the rice mouth." So the film crew chose a relatively small number of customers to shoot, "At that time, when filming, we all stayed in the store, Zhang Jiayi and the actor of Teacher Dou in the play sat face to face at the small table outside the door, eating and chatting, acting very naturally." At that time, I didn't think there was anything special, but as soon as the TV series was broadcast, everyone felt good, why? That's our life. Hui Rongguo said.

The reporter interviewed several residents of the surrounding community on the spot, and they said that over the years, this store has always had many customers every time it goes to the restaurant, and as for the taste, each person has his own statement. People who love to eat are indeed coming over rain or shine.

This pink soup and sheep blood shop is not only familiar to the old Xi'an, but even many foreign tourists know that this is an internet red shop, and it is even on Baidu Encyclopedia. Hui Rongguo said that he did not want his store to become an internet celebrity shop, and the current "heat" surprised him. Usually, the shop can sell five or six hundred bowls of powder soup and sheep blood a day, and sells thousands of bowls every day these days. This is not to mention, all kinds of media reporters have also come to talk to him about "Loading the Stage". "Nothing, I know, at this time, we not only represent ourselves, but also part of Xi'an's image." He said.

Hui Rongguo told reporters that he was a cook in the army. However, making powder soup and sheep blood is to seriously learn the art of the teacher and carefully ponder before making a name for itself. "Whoever's powder soup and sheep's blood is delicious, I often eat it, study the taste, think about the method, and constantly improve the production process in my shop." For example, the main features of traditional powder soup sheep blood are hemp, spicy and salty, and the requirements in our shop are hemp, spicy, fresh and fragrant, not highlighting salty, why change this? Because now the society has developed, from the aspects of health and taste, improvement is necessary. Hui Rongguo said.

Why do Xi'an people love to eat powder soup and sheep blood? Hui Rongguo said that this reflects the reality of the people of Xi'an. One bowl down, you can eat enough, and the whole body is warm. If you add a plate of pork and a bottle of beer, it will be more beautiful, and happiness is just that.

Because the current storefront is too small to put down a few tables, many customers can only sit outside, Hui Rongguo has now rented another storefront at the intersection, and the renovation work is nearing the end. "I am grateful for the love of my customers. Therefore, watching customers eat in the snow and rain, I am too willing not to go, even if we make less money, we must also make the dining environment. He told reporters: "I also love to watch the TV series "Loading The Stage", because they are all real people, in fact, under the roots of this city wall, we Xi'an people are real people, really live, do things in a down-to-earth manner, and the Xi'an people I understand are like this."
