Gastronomic history
According to legend, in the early days of the Republic of China, there was a woman who was infertile, sought medical treatment everywhere, and finally ended without success, and the woman's husband went to the temple to ask for incense, and the temple abbot told him that after returning, he should sincerely recite the scriptures and eat more vegetarian food. And tell him how to make vegetarian pasta before leaving.
When he returned home, the man did as the abbot had instructed, and considering that his wife did not like to eat pasta, he baked the dough very small and thin. The wife saw this and asked, "What is this?" He replied casually, "Think of the doll." When the wife listened, she felt that it was a very good meaning, the "thought" of love, the pancake wrapped in side dishes, poured into the soup, much like feeding the baby in the swaddling.

The so-called "swaddling" is a thin paper-like dough pancake made of rice flour and the size of a palm.
When friends out of town first hear the name of the "silk doll", they will question its name; "Dead doll?" Tearing up dolls? ”。
In fact, no matter how much explanation is given, it is better to take him directly to the field to see this "doll".
You can see its name at a glance.
In Guiyang, silk doll stalls and small shops can be found along the street.
The traditional old-fashioned eating of silk dolls is spectacular.
Several long tables are put together into a huge long stall, which is evenly covered with various vegetable shreds, with varieties ranging from one or two to twenty.
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and colorful.
Diners sit around a large long table, and others stand in line behind the seated diners.
Just figured out why it is called a "silk doll", and then I was dazzled by this spectacular scene!
Under the temptation of local friends, foreign friends sat down half-believingly and began to wrap clumsily,
Finally, according to the gourd painting scoop, carry out the final step of dipping water,
After taking a sip into his mouth, he slowly relaxed his shoulders and slowly nodded his head in praise.
This is the quite distinctive Guiyang cuisine - "silk doll"
Nowadays, there are two kinds of "original soup silk dolls" and "red soup silk dolls" in Guiyang, the difference is in the poured soup, "original soup" is made of soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oil and other spices mixed with water in proportion, and it is also the soup poured in the old-fashioned silk doll eating method, and the "red soup" is later emerged, developed by Zhou Jie, the founder of the "silk love red soup silk doll", and now it is also unique to "silk love".
In contrast, today's red soup is more loved by guiyang people.
Compared with the "original soup", it has more sour mouth, and when combined with vegetables, it is more delicious.
Secret recipe red soup
The red soup of Silk Love is a mixture of small tomatoes that have been fermented for 6 months and peppers that have been fermented for 2 months. Add the sautéed tomatoes to the red and sour mixture, add celery and bean sprouts and simmer for 8 hours, and the fresh and spicy red soup will come out of the pot.
Regardless of whether you eat the original soup or the red soup, after the soup is added to the soup bowl, the locals will add the paste pepper, chives and sesame oil to add flavor.
Storefront environment
"Silk Love Red Soup Silk Doll" since the establishment of the first store in 2010 has been 11 years, although the year is not as good as many old stores, but the popularity of 11 years has only increased, if the meal time is not queued in advance, any branch needs to wait for 1-2 hours with the number. Because local young people not only come to eat every three to five or five friends, but also a hot spot when entertaining friends from other places.
Xiao bian specially chose to come to the store before lunch to avoid the peak period.
The shop belongs to the best shop of silk love, the store decoration style is not the same as other silk love branches, more elegant, once you enter the door, the decoration is very similar to the small restaurant where small couples date each other.
Further inside, I found that the different locations were also divided into districts. There are comfortable multi-person tables for friends to get together and chat.
A table with a wide view.
There are also small private rooms with better privacy.
This design is very thoughtful to take into account the different needs of diners.
The washstand is also very clean and tidy.
On the aisle is a visible all-glass kitchen making room.
According to the introduction of the store manager, there is also a spacious private room, which can meet the dinners, parties and banquets of many people.
Guiyang snacks are generally in the streets and alleys, and perhaps only silk love can make you eat the most down-to-earth snacks in a comfortable environment.
Snacks into a feast
Known as the "Guizhou snack collection shop", although the protagonist of the store is the silk doll, but what is amazing is that not only the silk doll, almost all the famous snacks in Guizhou can be eaten in the store.
In addition to the unique homemade red soup, the side dishes of shredded potatoes, celery segments, tofu shreds and lotus shreds in the side dishes have all been processed by a unique secret recipe, which is more flavorful than the side dishes used by other silk dolls! Even some diners will eat it separately in their mouths.
Why silk love red soup silk dolls are more popular, because the production is indeed more careful.
"Snacks are not only a complex, but also a heritage." This is also the definition of snacks by Zhou Jie, founder/chairman of Silk Love.
In the interview, Zhou Jie said: "I am also a chef, I am also more interested in food, I have been working as a chef in the hotel for 20 years, it is also a coincidence, plus my father has made silk dolls, the family also masters the secret recipe for making sour soup, after quitting the chef's job, I began to study the silk dolls, and developed a red soup instead of the original soup." Once launched, it was very popular, and in 2010, it opened the first silk love store. ”
Therefore, care, meticulousness and innovation have always been the unchanged purpose of Zhou Jie and his team in running a gourmet shop for 11 years.
Among them, the clerk also told us: "The boss is a very young person with a mentality, any ideas and ideas put forward by our young people, he will seriously think and accept, very up-to-date, and often organize a lot of outdoor activities, work here will be very passionate, for their own ideas to be implemented will be very fulfilling." ”
These are also the reasons why the development of silk love has been unabated in popularity and loved by young people.
Each snack here is based on the original method with the exclusive care of silk love, so that it can be innovated on the basis of retaining the original, and every three months will be renewed, and the dishes that are relatively not very hot will also be removed from the shelves. So the dishes you come to eat, even if you like the taste, but in the face of the test of data, maybe there will be no next time, so as long as you go to the store as long as you put new products, diners will basically try.
In this way, understand why the brand of only 11 years old can carry a hundred years of silk dolls and become the first choice for Guiyang people to eat snacks today!
Comfortable environment, intimate service, careful production, meticulousness of dishes and price conscience, such a five-"heart" restaurant, Xiaobian recommended index of five stars!
