snacks are too little
too difficult to find
for snacks, the definition of the dictionary is the definition of food sold in the diet, rice dumplings, lantern, oil tea and other foods, but in real life, snacks have gone far beyond This concept. "Formerly known as some snack foods are snacks, but with the development of society, the concept of snacks has not been so clear now." Wang Fuquan, vice president of the Ji'nan Catering Association, said that many snacks have gone to a big meal now, so now we look at snack, and more importantly, it has not congealed the city's characteristics and can taste the city's customs from the snack.
Zhang Yueli, who often goes to various places for business reasons, agrees with this view, so one of the most important things she has to do in every city is to taste the city's special snacks. "Snack is a unique flavor of a city that helps me remember this city better."
5 morning, Zhang Yueli from Beijing to Ji'nan, after seeing the Baotu Spring, began to find Ji'nan's characteristic snacks. "Before to do homework, the most representative of Ji'nan is the meat, sweet foam and oil spin, the meat can go to super Yixing, oil spin can find oil and spin, sweet foam can go to sweet foam."
but after eating these three things, Zhang Yueli didn't know what to eat. "Compared with some special snacks in the streets of Ji'nan, there are too few special snacks in the city."
not only is Zhang Yueli feeling this way. The Qilu Evening News reporter interviewed 20 people randomly in the streets, of which 11 were native to Ji'nan, 2 were visiting Ji'nan, and 7 were outsiders living in Ji'nan. When asked about the famous special snacks in Ji'nan, most citizens can only say two or three kinds, only one citizen mentioned five kinds of snacks, and even some people ask reporters, is there a special snack in Ji'nan? Among the 16 people who can name the snack, 13 people mention barbecue, 12 mention the meat and 10 people mention oil swirl.
"Ji'nan is the oldest food culture in Shandong Province, with thousands of years of precipitation, so there are many kinds of snacks." Wang Fuquan said, and the public's understanding of Ji'nan's snack culture is obviously not enough.
the city changes and market changes affect
a lot of Ji'nan snacks disappear
reporter found that on the Internet, there is a list of "Ji'nan famous snack gold medals" spread widely on the Internet, but it is not difficult to look over the list, although it is in Ji'nan The banner of famous snacks includes some meat dishes such as pot pot, mutton soup, baked rice cake, fresh mackerel dumplings and other snacks from other places. "Ji'nan as the provincial capital city, a large number of snacks come to Ji'nan, and the snack itself is also inclusive, some of the traditional Ji'nan snacks are also constantly from the field to take root." Wang Fuquan said.
at the same time, some local snacks in Ji'nan are slowly being assimilated. "I have seen some snacks, no longer to follow the original way of making, but to add some foreign elements, which may receive special effects, but lost the features of Ji'nan." Wang Bin, the executive chef of Shun - tillage group, said.
in addition, there are some more distinctive snacks on the list, and with the change of the city no longer exist, what tastes, and what history, has been rarely known.
, among them, after five latitude and ten once a big hotel, the golden egg roll as a famous snack on the list, and the 4 morning when the reporter came here, found that the original site has become a power and latitude Power Engineering Co., Ltd. Ms. Joe, who runs a small shop nearby, has been living here for more than 20 years. According to his introduction, the hotel changed the hotel six or seven years ago and changed the name of the hotel. It was later changed back to the Central Hotel, but the business has been sluggish and went bankrupt. Although she knows so much about the history of the hotel, Ms. Joe has never heard of a famous Ji'nan snack named golden egg roll.
the seven road has a Jia Jia Wan fast food, the chicken broth pork bastard is also a famous snack in Ji'nan, but with the development of the city, the fast food and this snack have disappeared.
"there are still some snacks that are out of the market." Wang Fuquan said that in former Ji'nan, there was a kind of snack called eight batches of fruit, "now the oil sticks are two and together, this is the eight and together, slowly buy fewer and fewer people, this kind of snacks will not."
the disappearance of
these small stores are a great pity for Ji'nan. Do not Jinan people like snacks? "No, Jinan people, including the market in Ji'nan, in fact, the acceptance of snacks is very high." Wang Bin said. This high acceptance has also helped many shops develop.
super fun is one of them. "In 2007, we had about 20 stores, and now we have 200." Ji'nan super Yixing catering Co., Ltd., the responsible person introduced, "now we all carry out the central distribution, so that we can ensure food safety and food quality, the public in all the shops eat meat, meatballs and so on are the same taste."
compared with this large-scale expansion, more Ji'nan snacks are operated by one or two stores, but the quality requirements are also high standards. Jun Ji beef, which has been on the way from seven to 70 years ago, has accumulated a large number of diners. 7 am at 11 a.m., when the reporter came to Jun Ji beef, there was a long queue in front of him. "This shop has to be bought early, and it's late." Mr. Tang said in line at the door.
according to Mr. Zuo, director of Jun Kee beef, the shop has been handed over for three generations and its business has been very good. "In the past, the old man pushed the cart on the stone bridge and sold it later."
Mr. Zuo said that the store has always insisted on the traditional practices, wood burning, big pot soup. "Now the children are big, ready to look at the branch." Mr. Zuo said that they opened a beef fire shop near the beef shop, and gradually opened branches after the business was good. In his view, most of the famous snacks in Ji'nan are family businesses, the reason why some of them have not persisted, many are because they do not want to adhere to the old skills, no longer have the unique flavor, so gradually decline.
people familiar with the grass bag baozi also have their own insistence, that is, old noodles fermentation, hand-made. Although the business looks good, but according to MS Tung, manager of baozi baozi, they also have their own worries. "The old staff is a lifetime, now the restaurant industry is so mobile, young people do not want to sink to dry, a good not easy to train, after a period of time." Ms. Dong said.
