The steaming cage ended on the table, and everyone's first subconscious action must be to use chopsticks to pick up one of the cages, bite the skin, and eat a hot one.
Generally do not specifically count, how many are there?
So we helped everyone to be curious, and took out four stores that can represent Shanghai Xiaolong, Shanghai Guyi Garden Restaurant, Nanxiang Steamed Bun Restaurant, Jiajia TangBao, Fuchun Xiaolong, and found that the standards of each family are different, ranging from 6-15.
Even if it is the same store, from the past to the present, the number of cages has changed.
One
There are too many varieties of small cages, and today we will only talk about fresh meat small cages.
The most famous one is one in the north and one in the south, and the number and price of each cage are different.
In the Guyi Garden Restaurant in Nanxiang, Jiading, a cage of 15 pieces, 30 yuan. The takeaway window of the Nanxiang mantou shop in Yuyuan Mall, a cage of 12 pieces, 25 yuan.
In the other two, we chose local store representatives: Jiajia Soup Bun and Fuchun Xiaolong.
The city center "elder" Jiajia soup bun is a cage of 12 pieces, 23 yuan, while the famous long-established Fuchun small cage is a cage of 6 pieces, 15 yuan.
Regardless of the weight, the unit price of each small cage is concentrated at 2-2.5 yuan.
The price of the small cage has changed really much in recent years, which makes the old diners quite emotional.
On the review network, someone below the Guyi Garden restaurant said, "This kind of old-school state-run restaurant, the layout of the furnishings is really not much different from 25 years ago." The only thing that makes you discover the passage of time is the price of the small cage. ”
After all, around 2007, the price of a small cage was 5 to 6 cents.
Guyiyuan Restaurant was a cage of 20 at that time, selling for 12 yuan, and then the price rose little by little, and the number was slowly reduced to 16 and 15.
The takeaway window of Nanxiang Mantou Shop, in 2012, a cage of 16 pieces, 12 yuan, later rose to 15 yuan, 25 yuan, only the number also became 12 yuan.
As for the other two, the number of one cage has not changed much. Only in terms of price, Fuchun has adjusted the price from 4 yuan in 2009 to 15 yuan.
There is also Jiajia soup bun, which has risen from a cage of 6 yuan in 2006 to 23 yuan now.

Xiao Cage only counted the reasons for the "quiet" reduction, and some shopkeepers sighed helplessly: because they did not want to rise again!
Li Jiangang, the person in charge of the Guyi Garden Restaurant and the sixth generation inheritor of Nanxiang Xiaolong steamed bun making skills, said, "When the price of Xiaolong rose to 30 yuan, I thought, I can't go up again, after all, it is a popular dim sum, it is impossible to learn from Ding Taifeng." ”
In order to absorb the pressure that costs are still rising, in 2019, Guyi Garden Restaurant will turn 16 per cage into 15.
The cage grid that comes out of the end, the original outer ring 11, the inner ring 5, the adjusted outer ring 10, the inner ring 5.
In addition, the change in the number of changes is also related to the number of changes in eating habits.
"The guests have a small appetite and (the meal) is no longer meant to be full. Many people have given me opinions and said that (20) is too much to eat. Li Jiangang said. [Now] there is one less, and everyone has relatively little feelings. ”
Guyiyuan Restaurant is still the "industry vane" of Nanxiang Xiaolong Street, and many small cage restaurants on the street are staring at the adjustment action of the "boss", and the price of the small cage, only counting how to change, keep up with the pace of the "boss".
