When the Hexi Internet farmers chewed on the hard-to-swallow takeaway, the fashion upstarts in Xinjiekou looked at the new hundred central Leddy and picked their eyes.
At this time, the natives of Xinjiekou had something to say, what MSG seasonings in the mall were thrown, what x things. After saying that, he quietly slipped into the Butler Bridge and came to the "very snack" with ease.
The owner, Lao Wu, has been operating casually for 23 years at xinjiekou, which is full of land. Accustomed to seeing the opening of new stores and the closure of old stores, I also fed the nearby securities media people, and very snacked and boiled into a long-established brand in Nanjing.
PART 1
Not an ordinary fly house
* No menu, go to the back kitchen to choose your own dishes
Maybe before coming, I lowered my expectations, and I didn't think the environment of this restaurant was so bad. In the cramped space, there is no trace of oppression and oil smoke, but it is neat and orderly, like Grandma's hometown.
Several tables, tableware with different patterns, stainless steel basins with bad mouths, and rice cookers with a sense of age, each of them is safe in their seats, precipitating more than 20 years of Old Wu.
Old Wu has been busy with very snacks for most of his life, before in Pingjia Lane, the follow-up was introduced by friends who did securities, and came to Butler Bridge to make fast food box lunches.
The financial and media social animals in the nearby Xinhua Building, Huarong Building and other office buildings are familiar with several popular dishes in the store. I don't eat once a week and I miss it all over my body.
Although the box lunch came quickly, but the meal in the box led to a change of taste affecting the reputation, after two years of box lunch, Lao Wu opened a small restaurant.
Just like this for 23 years, accumulating a large group of diners in nearby office buildings. Even if you leave your job, you will come here a few times a month for a familiar taste. Nostalgic old customers + new customers who come to visit, the degree of business popularity can be imagined.
I came to the store with my colleagues an hour early, and I didn't escape the fate of queuing.
Those who come early are familiar customers, and they are afraid of crowding people to come early to occupy the seats. Bring your own drinks, carry peanuts and small dishes, and sit in an "exclusive position" after smiling with Lao Wu.
We ordered the same dish with the old customer, wondering if it was as delicious as the Internet rumors.
PART 2
After 23 years of eating, it is not tired
Ⅰ
「 Fish Head Tofu Casserole"
As a signature must-order, even new customers will close their eyes to enter a kind of en dish, fish head tofu pot fresh to drop eyebrows.
Although it does not have the exquisite luxury of Michelin, it has the warmth and warmth of home cooking, and people who have eaten it will never forget it. Whenever others wanted to ask what the secret was, Lao Wu shook the soot and inadvertently revealed his pride in grasping and grasping the soy sauce.
The key to a braised dish is soy sauce seasoning.
The Nanjing local machine wheel brand soy sauce used by Lao Wu before, as long as it is widowed, even the salt does not need to be added, and the taste is absolutely outstanding. After the suspension of the production of the wheel brand soy sauce, Lao Wu could only be forced to use Haitian. At first, he didn't adapt to it, the taste was always wrong, and he was sad for a while.
The pot of fish head tofu pot that my aunt is now on the table is the achievement of Lao Wu after debugging for a long time. Not only is the taste positive, but also the cost performance is high, and at this time I know how to write the two words of affordability.
The stainless steel basin was filled with a full basin, the red and green of the peppers brightened the sight, and the thick oil red sauce awakened the taste buds. Even I, who had never eaten fish, was so hungry that my fingers were moved!
Eating fish pays attention to that bite of fresh, in addition to salt, soy sauce, Lao Wu did not let go of more spices, to ensure that the original umami taste of the fish is locked.
Sandwich fish meat, suck fish head, scoop tofu, drink hot soup, fish soup bibimbap. This is the routine operation that Lao Wu told me.
Hurry up and pick up a piece while it is hot, the fish is soaked in the soup, there is no fishy taste, tender and thick. Some collagen on the fish lip explodes, and the Q bullet is tender and smooth like jelly, and it dissolves in the mouth. Little by little, the freshness of the fish head seeps into the fish soup, and drinking a bowl of soup is nourishing and delicious!
The tofu wrapped in soup is breathtaking, the taste is smooth and tender, and it is not clear from the silly white fresh fish. The entrance is full of fresh aroma, which is the best comfort for the discerning mouth!
Ⅱ
「Cabbage meat ball vermicelli」
When I was a child, every New Year's Festival, the meat balls made of pure meat were indispensable on the dinner table, which was simply a memory killing.
Under the boiling of the thick oil and red sauce, the oil is bright and moist, and at this time, the worms have been plucked to the point of being unable to extricate themselves! Take a bite, not fat and not greasy, chew in the mouth, there is a lean chewiness, the taste is solid and there is no lack of tenderness.
I can eat it fresh, but I don't feel adulterated at all. The taste is moderate, and it is a sweet taste that old City South likes.
The secret braised sauce of the right benefit restores the mellow and fragrant childhood taste memories.
The vermicelli is infused and not rotten, and the cabbage is soaked with meat aroma. The two tumbled in a circle in the soup, wrapped in fragrance, and the person who cooked rice could be hungry for a week, and even 3 bowls of rice were not just talked about with the soup.
Ⅲ
「Edamame Roast Chicken」
Edamame roast chicken has reached the peak of home cooking. Grain-reared chicken with edamame beans, add soy sauce and salt to taste simply. In lao Wu's words, "Throwing off the seasoning will only numb your mouth." Eat it simply, eat a mouthful of the original taste.
However, Lao Wu also secretly told me his careful machine: regardless of white meat and red meat, there will be a little beer, no wonder the fresh and pleasant taste!
The chicken is also a full pot, and the portion size is amazing. The city was full of yellow braised chicken, and I preferred this home-cooked braised flavor.
Pick up a piece of chicken with a skin attached to it and feel the tenderness of the chicken in your mouth. Don't tell you, it's not wood at all, and it's not hard to chew.
Even the side dishes are superb, the edamame is fragrant but not salty, soft but not rotten, and it is difficult to forget after tasting it.
Ⅳ
「Oyster mushrooms with green vegetables」
Lao Wu is responsible for braised pork, his lover is responsible for stir-frying, the division of labor is orderly, and everything in life is orderly.
The hostess fried this plate of home-cooked small stir-fried vegetables and oyster mushrooms, we also tasted extraordinary strength. The emerald green vegetable leaves are moistened with oil, and the taste of lard refined at home is very nostalgic!
The crunchy texture of the green vegetables is just right with the soft and tender flavor of the oyster mushrooms. At the same time, the smell of shiitake mushrooms is strong, just to make up for the tranquility of greens. After tasting more meat, let's have some vegetarian scraping oil.
After dinner, talk to the diners at the next table. It turned out that they had eaten here since the store opened, and today they and the old sisters were resolutely dating here. There were too many portions, so the two of them packed a box each, one of them back to Changle Road, and the other back to Nanhu.
The 2 eldest sisters by the door are chatting about the child's learning, the green shell book on the table has not yet folded, and the cram school has arranged renewal in this chat.
Usually, there are also people who handle real estate transactions on Huaqiao Road, carrying document bags to dinner. After doing a big thing in life, cooking has become safe and enjoyable.
Lao Wu also concluded a top priority this year. The son of 90 years just got married this year, and the burden on him is lighter, and he is naturally more casual.
Whether you open the door or not, what time it is, all depends on your mood. After a busy lunch, smoke and play mahjong with friends in the shop, and find a lake to go fishing. Therefore, it must be a coincidence to come to eat.
The lunch market passed, the diners walked almost the same, and Lao Wu sat in the back kitchen and lit a cigarette. Without waiting for a moment, I received a call from an old customer, asking for fish head tofu.
Old Wu began his time around the stove again. Along with him, there are those old bottles and cans, which is half his life.
Even if it is an inconspicuous position, there is a public toilet next to it, but Lao Wu has circled Meng Fei, Cao Yang and other stars with several special braised dishes. What magic is this store, we squeezed our heads to know the answer.
