In Shenzhen, there is a mysterious map of food, that is, to go to the offices of various provinces and cities in Shenzhen and look for food according to Tu Suoji.
How many Shenzhen people rush into the "public commentary" to find the authentic taste of their hometown, in fact, they don't know that the most authentic hometown dishes are hidden in the Shenzhen Office.
It can be said that even if you have eaten the top ten brands of Shenzhen Xiang cuisine restaurant, if you have not eaten the hunan restaurant in Shenzhen, you are really a little embarrassed to say that you are a Hunan cuisine veteran.
01
A guide to gluttony
Among the cuisines in Shenzhen, the most famous should be regarded as "Little Furong", which was opened by hunan office in Shenzhen in 1985 and was the first Hunan restaurant in Shenzhen, which was called "Furong Restaurant" at that time.

Next to "Little Hibiscus", there is also a "Big Hibiscus", which is the Hibiscus Restaurant. It is known as the "Hunan Cuisine Whampoa Military Academy" in Shenzhen, and many chefs come from shenzhen where you can count hunan restaurants. This may also be one of the reasons why The Hunan restaurants in Shenzhen are generally more authentic.
The magic of taste is that it allows people to break the limitations of time and space from the spiritual level. Many years ago, the Xinjiang Office in Shenzhen has been abolished, and their former canteen has become a rare and authentic "northwest flavor" in Shenzhen.
▲The Xinjiang Office in Shenzhen at that time
In Luohu Chunfeng Road, the Xinjiang Office in Shenzhen is a place that Zhen Chang used to go to, the lamb skewers are 3 yuan a skewer, and the meat skewers are large enough, very sincere. Went a lot, became a regular customer, and the owner delivered haggis soup every meal. Later, the Xinjiang office in Shenzhen was withdrawn, the original store was closed, and the owner operated in the Xuelian restaurant across the road, the restaurant changed, the taste did not change.
A friend also recommended the Ningxia Guest House, which he believes is the most authentic northwest cuisine in Shenzhen. The lamb is made from Ningxia's beach sheep, which is served in limited quantities, and it is necessary to arrive at the restaurant early to have a chance to taste the delicious food. After eating enough lamb, try goji berry seedlings and shallots, these northwest characteristics are really difficult to eat in Shenzhen, and the shallots grow in the northwest desert, accompanied by vinegar and garlic paste, degreased.
However, in the city of Shenzhen, life is always faster than people go, good or not to eat is more complicated, two hours away from the restaurant you rarely come again, fifteen minutes away from the restaurant generally feel that you can eat a few meals.
When you feel that it is difficult to find the taste of the old in the Shenzhen Office, it is precisely because you really remember your hometown.

Shenzhen's past
Hidden in each of the offices in Shenzhen is not only food.
From the 1980s to the 1990s, provincial and municipal governments stationed in the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone to set up overseas offices. These functional institutions, which are put into operation by various provinces and cities across the country, are stationed in Shenzhen, the hot land of reform and opening up, and provide all-round services to the villagers who come to Shenzhen to work hard.
The first to come to Shenzhen was the Hunan Provincial Office in Shenzhen, which was established in 1984. At that time, the Hunan provincial government decided to build a building at the then famous "Hunan Wai". This place was originally a pig warehouse for Hunan foreign trade, and after the pigs from Hunan were transported to Shenzhen, they were exported to Hong Kong through Wenjindu.

When I first came to Shenzhen, there were swarms of flies and mosquitoes here, and the Hunan Office in Shenzhen turned the "Hunan Wai" full of pig dung into a "Furong Hotel" and became the base of Hunan Province in Shenzhen.
Many Hunan people go to Shenzhen for business and business, and they like to stay here, and the 2.3 million Hunan people who have broken into Shenzhen first think of this place when they are difficult and helpless, because this is "the home of Hunan people in Shenzhen".

In addition to the Furong Hotel, many office buildings in Shenzhen are named after place names from various places, such as Hubei Building, Fujian Building, Sichuan Building... Yes, they are the base areas of the local offices in Shenzhen.
"I still remember when I came here to apply for a border defense permit, and when I took a car to the building of the Shenzhen Office, I still had a sense of sacredness in my heart."
Old Liu, who came to the SAR in the 1980s to "go to the sea" to do business, still clearly remembers that at that time, mainlanders had to apply for a border defense permit to enter the SAR, and it was not easy to get a border defense permit. Later, the off-site processing of temporary residence permits, residence permits and second-generation identity cards was also inseparable from the Shenzhen Office.
It is conceivable how important this institution was to people at that time.

When it comes to the "Beijing Office", many people think of "government reception", but the main function of the "Shenzhen Office" is to attract investment and investment, and the difference between political cities and commercial cities can also be seen here.
It can be said that the offices of various provinces and municipalities in Shenzhen are like the "small windows" set up in the "big window" of the experimental field of reform and opening up; on the one hand, with Shenzhen as the hub and transit station, they will connect with the trade cooperation between the provinces and municipalities in the hinterland and between Hong Kong and Macao; on the other hand, through attracting business and investment, let the achievements of the reform and opening up of the special administrative region radiate to the hinterland and promote the reform and development of the economic field in the hinterland.

Is "go" is "stay"
For the young people in Shenzhen now, they may no longer know what this institution is.
Many years ago, Shenzhen has successively appeared in Xinjiang, Weifang, Zhejiang and other places to cancel the news of the Shenzhen office, which has led to the topic of where the Shenzhen office should go.
Whether the Office in Shenzhen will go or stay depends not only on its role, but also on its own operation. In addition to the aforementioned operation of hotels and restaurants, many offices in Shenzhen also take advantage of their status to get involved in real estate and obtain income through property rental.
▲Hubei Building
Located on Binhe Avenue, Hubei Building is jointly funded by 18 units, including Hubei Office in Shenzhen, Hubei Provincial Electric Power Company and Hubei Daily Newspaper. Like some other buildings named after provinces, the Hubei Office in Shenzhen has no direct affiliation with Hubei Building, but only owns some of its properties. Today, Hubei Building is a well-known comprehensive office building in Shenzhen.
▲Dunhuang Building
Next to the Garden Expo Garden on the north side of Shennan Avenue, stands a 20-storey modern twin tower, the Dunhuang Building. Few people would have thought that such a modern commercial real estate was led by the Gansu Provincial Office in Shenzhen.
As early as 2006, the Gansu Provincial Office in Shenzhen realized that its role should not be just to "rely on the sky to eat", as a western province in Shenzhen, they do not have much advantage, and they lack the confidence to attract investment. But are they aware of the policy advantages they have in their identity, can they combine their policy advantages with business?
In the end, they chose real estate development.
The Gansu Provincial Office in Shenzhen applied for a piece of land and then cooperated with enterprises to develop and build. In such a prime location as Zhuzilin, its value has been fully reflected, from more than 3 million yuan of fixed assets at the beginning of its establishment to more than 100 million yuan at present, which makes other offices in Shenzhen envious.
In the past 40 years, the special zone has created a miracle of the city and erected a thousand tall buildings. More importantly, in the past 40 years, Shenzhen has continuously exported the concept of "dare to be the first in the world". As a "small window" under the "big window" of the SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE, the Shenzhen Office is one of the nodes in the magnificent waves.
Now, the offices in Shenzhen may no longer be special, no longer special, or even "simplified" to the taste memory of an immigrant city. But it is precisely this from special to ordinary that shows that the concept of special zones in those years has become today's consensus, and the small window of that year has become today's pathway.
