Big suit Sachima
•••
Foshan is a wonderful blend of ancient and modern.
Foshan in the film and television drama is Wong Fei Hung's shadowless feet, Ip Man's Wing Chun, Bruce Lee's truncated boxing, the main birthplace of southern Chinese martial arts, and synonymous with chivalry and strength.
"Food is not boring, not tired of fine", Foshan people have created different styles of cuisine according to local conditions. Under the infiltration of the years, each district of Foshan has formed its own unique food system, and there are countless delicious dishes.
While people continue to chase new experiences, "old" has become more and more precious. Those old tastes that exude original flavor are a kind of plot for us, but also a kind of memory, and it is also an evocative smell left in the torrent of historical development.
It is because of this heart that has been passed down from generation to generation, no matter what, the "old brand" has this magic power, so that you have a special love for it.
Big suits? Sachima? What does the two have to do with each other? In Gaoming Sanzhouwei, there is a small, inconspicuous store that sells only one thing - Sachima. Don't underestimate it, this small shop called "Big Suit" has been open for more than 20 years, and it is a veritable old brand in the eyes of Gaoming Neighborhood.
After crossing the old bridge of Sanzhou Bridge, you can see a house with the words "Big Suit Sachima" written on the door in white on a red background. There is no counter, an old-fashioned wooden table is filled with different portions of Sachima, and the price is pasted on red paper in front of the table. The rest of the room is where Sachima is made.
Big suits? The owner likes to wear a suit?
The clever suit Sachima was created in the 1970s and has a history of 40 years.
If you hear the name "Big Suit" for the first time, it's hard to associate it with Sachima. It turned out that "Big Suit" was the nickname of the 80-year-old boss Luo Jinrong.
Rob said that because he always liked to comb a suit head when he was young (that is, to comb his hair all the way back), the director of the supply and marketing agency at that time called him a "big suit", and the neighbors in the back of the house also called it. Later, when the store was opened, it was named after this funny name.
Since its opening in the 1990s, the "Big Suit" has a history of more than 20 years and has become an old-time delicacy remembered by many smart people, especially the neighbors of Sanzhou
Site pure hand "do enough work"
Sachima is one of the few preserved Manchu foods today, brought in by the Manchus of the Qing Dynasty when they entered the customs, and later developed to cantonese people who drink tea and like to use it as a snack to accompany tea. The Sachima craft of the big suit was handed down from the pastry chefs in the tea house and is still handmade in the traditional way.
High gluten flour is added in proportion to the eggs, kneaded, peeled, fried, sugared, shaped, each step is manual operation, do enough work. Rub the flour all with eggs, without adding a drop of water, without adding any colors and additives, the egg is full of flavor.
Rob's daughter, Fenjie, a descendant of the traditional Sachima production, said that to make a delicious Sachima, boiling sugar is very critical, the sugar is too old or too tender, Sachima is easy to disperse, and affect the taste. At the same time, we must also master the sweetness, and the more sugar is made, the more Sachima is too sweet. Rob said that the best Sachima is crisp and soft in the mouth, the egg flavor is strong, not too sweet, and the Sachima, which is still hot soon after coming out of the pot, is the most delicious.
Now the "big suit" can make about 3,000 pieces of Sachima a day, basically sold out on the same day.
The handmade Sachima is full of memories,
Crispy with a little sticky teeth,
Each piece of Sachima carries a real coconut scent.
There are always some flavors that are satisfied from small to large.
A shop, a taste,
The taste of old Foshan is not known to be imprinted in the memories of many people;
An old brand, a history of feelings,
Behind each long-established brand is an intriguing story and warmth.
The old brand is like a colon,
What appears in the back is a long shout that echoes in the old streets,
Or flags and signboards that appear in old photographs.
The person in memory, the Foshan in memory,
Although in the tide of the times, slowly blurred,
But there are many long-established brands, which are still the unchanging imprint of Foshan
