all say "the winter solstice is as big as a year", but do you know that there is a century-old brand in Suzhou, how did they work for you a few days before the winter solstice?
Suzhou people live like this 100% of the winter solstice. What I pay attention to is on the night of the winter solstice, that is, the night before the day of the winter solstice, a family reunion for a big meal.
Suzhou people’s "winter solstice is as big as a year" is absolutely serious. Tonight (December 20) my "eat a big meal", not only will there be wontons and dumplings that people from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai want to eat on the table, but also You must have a bottle of winter wine, and moreover, there must be a century-old brand with a variety of cooked meat stewed dishes that everyone has said! The people of Suzhou still practice the traditional folk traditions of the winter solstice night of "there are copper tins to eat overnight, and the copper tins to freeze overnight", and they are all blessed by the dishes of the time-honored brands. It seems that the winter solstice can best be inherited from Jiangnan. The charm of Wudi must also be the original "old taste, time-honored brand".
Therefore, this year, Suzhou’s Xuanmiao Guan in Guanqian Street first held an unprecedented scale of “time-honored food exhibition”.
Songhe Tower, Deyue Tower, Du Sanzhen, Lao Qingtai, Lao Zhonghe, Ren Changshun, Wan Fuxing, Ma Yongzhai... These famous 100-year-old shops are here, and they even give you "Luzhi Sauce" for appetizers and digestion. ", too.
However, the sophisticated Suzhou foodies are actually more willing to go to the time-honored shops to buy "fresh goods" on the morning of the winter solstice. "Fresh just out of the pot, it tastes better after all"!
So, come and see! It was 8 o'clock this morning. At the Shilu Du Sanzhen main store, in front of 5 sales windows, there were 5 long queues of more than 100 people.
, a century-old shop that opened its doors early this morning at 6 o'clock this morning, the long queue at 7 o'clock has already lined up like this.
looked from the inside of the store, the outside of the store was already full of people.
There are mountains of goose, sauced duck, smoked fish, glutinous belly, fried shrimp, lamb cake, sauced meat, sauced ribs, straw pierced meat, and there are more than 80 kinds of meat products, and there are also cold jellyfish. , Spicy cabbage, sweet and sour radish peel, etc., are all delicious standard for Suzhou people to spend the winter solstice night.
According to the store manager Cao Yun, the enthusiasm of the citizens to buy braised vegetables this year is the highest in Suzhou in all years. The store’s historical sales record was broken yesterday, and today is the day of the winter solstice night, early in the morning. There are more people coming in line to buy than yesterday!
So, do you know how this century-old brand managed to achieve a winter solstice festival with a sales performance of 10 million?
A few days ago, this editor specially went to the braised vegetable processing workshop and found that since a week ago, there have been three shifts 24 hours a day, and production is non-stop throughout the day.
chickens, ducks, geese, fish, cows and pigs are classified as "Fei Jiao Tiao" by Mr. Du Sanzhen Enterprise Director and national-level culinary master Mr. Zhou Bin. He said, "The market now has a very large demand for Fei Jiao Tiao Lu Wei. Not only do you want to eat at the table on the night of the winter solstice, but also whole chickens, whole ducks and whole pieces of generous meat, which are also bought by the citizens of the winter solstice ancestors. Therefore, every winter solstice is our busiest time."
Edited in Zhao Tianlu, another century-old shop in Suzhou, I saw that the stewed dishes here are also dazzling. Although there is no queue, the business is quite good. Zhu Xia, the manager of
, said that according to the "Qing Jialu" written by Suzhou native Gu Lu in the 23rd year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty (1818), Suzhou people gave each other "Winter Solstice Boxes" at that time. The custom of sending a gift box full of rice noodle cakes to neighbors is a sign of family abundance. So today, some Suzhou citizens follow the tradition and buy a lot of steamed buns, hair cakes and siu Mai in "Zhao Tianlu". People say that this means that their own business is also high, and the package is selling! How about
? This winter solstice, is there such a grand grandeur as Suzhou on your side?
