If there is any delicacy that represents Xi'an, I think it is a soap bun. There are many types of soap buns in Xi'an, including , gourdou soap buns , beef and mutton soap buns, etc. The most famous one is mutton soap buns.
When I was in Xi'an, I had to eat mutton soaked buns a few times a week, and I almost lined up every time I went there. First take a bowl and a piece of steamed bun, find a seat to break the steamed bun, break it into small pieces, and then hand it to the window. Within 3 minutes, a bowl of mutton will be soaked out.
There are some specialties in eating lamb soaked. It should be paired with oil-splashed chili and sugar garlic, which is so delicious! Huluhu, I broke the steamed bun for 10 minutes and ate it all in less than 5 minutes, which also shows how delicious it is.
But have you noticed it? It is also a delicacy in the northwest region. Lanzhou ramen has been spread all over the country, with more than 40,000 stores. But mutton soaked buns cannot leave Xi'an. Why is this?
People who travel to Xi'an will taste mutton soaked buns, but many people expressed their disappointment. Lamb soaked in ancient times was called "Yokan". It can be traced back to the 11th century BC. It was a tribute to Western Zhou , and it has a history of more than 3,000 years.
The reason why mutton soaked buns cannot leave Xi'an is because a friend who has worked in the catering industry for more than ten years said that it has four shortcomings and restricts its own development. Let me tell you about it and see if it is right.
[Reasons why mutton soaked buns cannot become popular nationwide]
1. It has a special mutton smell and is not good-looking
People in the northwest love to eat sheep, but from a national perspective, people in most regions eat pork. I ate less beef, let alone mutton. Lamb has a special smell of mutton. People in Northwest often eat it and are used to it.
But for people who don’t often eat mutton, the mutton steamed bun has a stronger mutton smell. Although it has been stewed for a long time, the mutton smell is still there, making people unable to raise their appetite. Moreover, mutton soy steamed buns are a hodgepodge. Although they are delicious, they are not good-looking and are incompatible with the exquisiteness of southern food and cannot be used on the table, resulting in being unable to be popular among the whole country.
2. Eating is complicated and the price is too expensive.
Lamb soaked buns are different from other delicacies. If you want to eat, you have to do it yourself. Let me tell you my personal feeling. Although breaking buns is very leisurely, most people don’t have the time. ah. It takes at least 10 minutes to break a piece of steamed bun, and the taste is completely different for different sizes. If you want to break
, it will take longer to break , and he is very particular. He broke Baijimo into the size of soybeans. It took half an hour. If you didn't like it, I guess no one has this patience.
If you are here to travel, it is good to spend time to experience it. But if it is popular all over the country, as a meal a day, working hours are very tight every day and there is no time to break the buns. Moreover, I had been scrapped for a long time and took it into the stomach in less than a few minutes. It was really troublesome.
The most important thing is that the price of mutton soaking buns is not cheap, and the minimum price is 20 yuan. You should know that a bowl of noodles is only 5 yuan. Eating a bowl of mutton soaking can make noodles for a day. The cost-effectiveness is too low. In addition to true fans, Xi'an local area People don't eat it every day.
3. The practice requirements are high, and foreigners are not authentic. If you want to eat cold skin and roujiamo, you can easily do it at home. But if you want to eat mutton soaking steamed buns, most people really can't make them. The mutton is delicious. The key is a pot of mutton soup and mutton. cooks for at least eight hours just by boiling it, and stew it until the mutton soup is white and the mutton is soft and rotten. In addition, the sheep in the northwest are different from those in other places, so even if the same method is made, the taste will change drastically.
In addition to mutton soup and mutton, the protagonist Baiji Mo is not easy to make. It is not an ordinary pancake. It should be used half a dough and baked until it is browned and crispy. It is difficult to make authentic lamb soaking in other places and it is very costly.
4. It does not meet the taste of most people.
The most popular meat that Chinese people eat is pork and chicken. The mutton needs to be shipped back. There are several reasons. The first is that it has a mutton smell, and the second is that it is expensive. One pound of mutton can I bought 2 kilograms of pork, so in the south, people rarely eat mutton, mainly pork and chicken.
And although the soap bun is pasta, it not only does not meet the eating habits of southerners, but even in the north where the noodles are eaten, they have a low sense of identity with it. They would rather eat noodles or steamed buns than mutton soap buns.
is these 4 shortcomings, which makes mutton soaked buns unable to leave Xi'an and become popular all over the country. However, this is also the charm of the local characteristics. If there were mutton soaking buns all over the country, who would have come to Xi'an?
