For a time, "hairy noodles" became synonymous with "high prices", "huge profits" and "black hearts" in the mouths of many diners.
After 8 years, where is the controversial "hairy face" now? Is there still a similar "high-priced" noodle market in Chongqing? How do the gods and dogs of all walks of life view this incident? The "Mountain City Eating Light" editorial team conducted a field visit.
Visit: The "hairy face" of the past is no longer there
California Mao Mao Noodles, the signature noodle of the "MaoJia Stir-fry Restaurant" in the California Garden of Yubei District, why can it be sold so expensive? The explanation of the boss lady Mao Yanbi is that the way of operation of the store is "good materials and high prices", "from decoration to ingredients, they are all solid and good materials".
On February 27, Xiaobian came to Yubei California Garden to operate a storefront of "Mao Mao Noodles" in that year, and visited the site and found that the "MaoJia Stir-fry Restaurant" of that year no longer existed, and the storefront was divided into two, one selling red wine and one was a real estate intermediary company.
According to the staff of the real estate agency, the "Maojia Stir-fry Restaurant" closed in September last year for unknown reasons. A lady owner of a restaurant next to the store said: "The noodles are too expensive, the neighbors have never eaten it for so many years." Usually there are not many people who come to eat, a barrel bone root soup to 388 yuan, which can afford to eat every day? ”
In the era when the average price of a bowl of Small Noodles in Chongqing was about 3 yuan, California's "Mao Mao Noodles" became synonymous with "high prices", "huge profits" and "black heart noodles" in the eyes of many ordinary people.

After the "hairy noodles", the high-priced small noodles did not disappear
It is understood that "high-priced small noodles" is now in Chongqing there is another, located in Yubei District Longxi Street Longhua Avenue No. 1863 (California Lily Garden) 5, 6 buildings 1-19, a small noodle restaurant called "Jializhuang", the wall price list shows that sour chili powder, small noodles, are 158 yuan / bowl, fresh yellow cattle bull whip soup pot 488 yuan / pot, fresh oxtail soup pot 388 yuan / pot.
The waiter told xiaobian that the cheapest small noodles in the store also sell for 10 yuan / bowl, but the ingredients and ingredients are naturally different. Ingredients are bought from the slaughterhouse at 4 a.m., steamed, boiled, and sold within a day to ensure freshness and natural taste.
Hot discussion: is the high price reasonable? Whether it is "raw noodles" or "home villages", although the price is high, it is a clear price tag. Should I be punished? Some delicious dogs think that "high-priced small noodles" have been "clearly marked", although the price is high, but it is not forced to consume, how to punish it. Some netizens also said that although the merchant "clearly marked the price", whether there is price fraud or a question mark, "clear price" is not equal to "clear price". "Real" represents the real, real, and reasonable value of the goods or services themselves. If the merchant cannot provide a sufficient reason for the small surface to mark the "high price", there is a clear information asymmetry between the consumer and the merchant. Merchants must play cards with a good conscience, otherwise they will be punished for asking for a price.
Is selling "high price" the future of Chongqing noodles?
Li Jieping, founder and secretary general of the Chongqing Noodles Association, believes that for small noodles to develop for a long time, it is necessary to start from quality technology, management, standardization, health, safety, and hygiene.
Tang Xinyu, vice president of the Chongqing Small Noodles Association and one of the founders of Cup Noodles, said, "Small noodles were born in the alleys of the city, and they were not born as a product of yangchun white snow. From the perspective of nostalgia, it should be good and cheap, of course, the rise in prices, the price of small noodles slightly increased, is also reasonable. ”
