Shallots, alias bowl cake kway.
Because of its exquisite method, layer by layer, thin fire and slow steaming, it is also called nine-layer cooking, which is the most suitable appetizer in summer.
Jinbao is probably the best snack bar on Xiamen Island.
Like most long-established brands, The Sign of Jimbo originated from the founder.
30 years ago, Hong Jinbao, a 19-year-old girl, left her hometown in Quanzhou and came to Xiamen.
Although Hong Kong and Taiwan culture had swept the mainland at that time, Zhang Guorong, Tam Wing Lin, Mui Yanfang, Chen Baiqiang and others were in their heyday.
But the video hall has not yet had time to open the streets, so everyone is not familiar with it, in Hong Kong, there is a fat action star, also called Hong Jinbao.
The first job of the young girl Jin Bao in Xiamen was to go to a relative's shop to learn to make oil and onion, as well as mochi, garlic sticks and other old Xiamen
There are many folk practices of oil shallots in southern Fujian, some people like to add shredded meat and diced water chestnuts, some people like to fry flat fish or shrimp skin with oil, and so on.
Including the sauce, tomato sauce, sweet and spicy sauce, peanut butter, mustard sauce, chili sauce, each with its own characteristics.
But for a bowl of delicious oil and shallots, the most important thing is rice milk.
After learning the craft of her relatives, in those years, the young girl Jimbo traveled all over the island and went to worship.
Not everyone is willing to teach, she simply went home to think about it herself, bought rice to grind, repeatedly debugged, thinking about how to match the best rice pulp base.
Campbell was oily and green, and opened in the second city two years later.
The young girl Jin Bao was 22 years old, very young, but she sold the most exquisite ancient snacks in old Xiamen.
But she was not afraid, she felt that she had synthesized the advantages of the craftsmanship of each teacher, and used all good ingredients, "The taste will certainly not be wrong." ”
Not long after the store opened, the name of Jinbao oil and greenery resounded throughout the second city and spread to Xiamen.
The next thing is what everyone in Xiamen knows, the entire second city is relocated, and the Jinbao oil is opened to jiangtou.
A few years later, Jiangtou was transformed, and the young girl Jin Bao took the shop to the intersection of Douxi Road, until today.
After 30 years, the young girl Jin Bao has become the Hong aunt in everyone's mouth, and the Jin Bao oil and green onion have also become the only remaining street food in Xiamen.
On the best days of business, 4 yuan a bowl of oil and onion kway, Aunt Hong can sell more than 500 bowls a day; 1 yuan of mochi, sold to more than 1,000 pieces a day; 8 pounds of garlic sticks, sold more than 400 pounds a day...
Their family has more than 20 kinds of Xiamen snacks, Grandma bought to say goodbye, Grandpa bought to match tea, children bought as snacks, is simply the favorite of Xiamen people.
Aunt Hong became busier, often opening a store at 7 a.m. and staying busy until 8 p.m. to breathe a sigh of relief.
But no matter how busy she is, she still tells everyone that the snacks of the Jinbao family must use enough good materials, "it doesn't matter if the cost is high, the small profit is high, the taste is guaranteed, and the most important thing in doing business is reputation." ”
Just like the familiar snack garlic branches of Xiamen people, the Jinbao family is not the same as other families.
Freshly fried twist flowers, wrapped in sugar and garlic boiled frosting, add shallots, sea salt stir-fry, taste salty and sweet.
Aunt Hong decided that the bite of the garlic sticks should not be too hard, so she asked the master to spend more time every day kneading the dough thoroughly, "The twist flowers fried in this way are crisp enough." ”
But The Campbell oil onion is also struggling, how to pass on the craft.
Aunt Hong found that today's young people are reluctant to do such work. Especially in recent years, the cost of rent raw materials and other rising, small profits and high sales, may be a very silly and slow business logic.
Aunt Hong's daughter, who is in junior high school, does not consider taking over, "I sometimes say that if you don't study well, come to the store to help when you grow up." ”
As a result, the daughter directly replied that no matter where she went to work in the future, she would not come to the store, "It is indeed too hard." ”
Aunt Hong couldn't help herself, and since she was 19 years old, the young girl Jin Bao had never stopped. Every morning at seven o'clock, she opened the door of the store and waited for the first wave of old Xiamen to finish the morning market.
For thirty years, she has put her youth into bowls of oil and green onions, and fried out garlic sticks.
Hong Jinbao, the name given to her by her parents, is hanging on the shop signboard. This is a reputation, but also a reputation, do not dare to insult.
