As mentioned above, there is one most important difference between Beiwudu spicy soup and Xiaoyao Town spicy soup that was not mentioned. That's the soup base.

The soup base of the spicy soup in Xihua Xiaoyao Town uses bone soup, while the soup base of the spicy soup in Beiwudu uses broth.

As the saying goes, "the meat rots in the pot", Beiwudu Hu spicy soup actually boils the meat in the soup, and then adds day needles, fungus, gluten, peanuts, vermicelli, diced pork and other auxiliary ingredients.

Four, the famous Hu spicy soup merchants

are relatively representative merchants in Xiaoyao Town, including Gao Laoda, Gao Qunsheng, Yang Jia, Fang Jia (Fang Zhongshan, Fang Shengli, Fang Xiurong...) Jingyao, etc. These are all Registered trademark. There are Shanjia, Lujia, Dingjia and Wanjia in Beiwudu, among which Shanjia Hu spicy soup is the most famous.

Whether it is Xiaoyao Town, Beiwudu, or Kaifeng, most of the people selling spicy soup are Hui.

In Zhengzhou, Fang Zhongshan is the most famous from the Internet.

Fang Zhongshan opened a two-story spicy soup shop covering an area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters on Zijingshan Road and Shunhe Road in Zhengzhou in 1991. This man is very financially savvy. Huayuan Road and Zijingshan Road are the administrative districts of Zhengzhou. Government agencies such as the Provincial Party Committee, Provincial Government, Provincial People's Congress, Provincial Military Region, Provincial Court, and Provincial Political Consultative Conference are all here. At that time, most of Zhengzhou's high-consumption groups were here.

Fang Zhongshan seized on people’s rebellious mentality and launched a bowl of high-end nourishing spicy spicy soup for 10 yuan. You must know that in the western suburbs of the industrial zone, a bowl of spicy spicy soup only sold for 0.5 yuan. I was very surprised when I saw the price. A bowl of braised noodles only costs 5 yuan, and a bowl of hot and spicy soup costs 10 yuan. How delicious can it be? But the store was crowded and there was an endless stream of diners, which made me feel like I had been cheated and wanted to try it.

So I ordered a bowl of spicy spicy soup for 5 yuan. After drinking it, I felt it was not worth it. Fang Zhongshan's Hu spicy soup became popular because of his other strange trick. The taste is heavy and spicy. Netizens call it "Xinqiu spicy and salty". But everyone knew this, but the person who was fooled still went ahead and continued to do it, which actually made him successful. Then Fang Shengli and Fang Xiurong from the Fang family came out one after another to enjoy the popularity.

A few days ago, I went to taste Gao Qun Sheng Hu spicy soup. It is said to be selected into the list of intangible cultural heritage of Henan Province, and it is a Chinese food on the tip of the tongue. To be honest, the decoration, service and quality of his store are worth the money. Recently, someone recommended to me the "Domineering Gao Laodao Steak and Spicy Soup" on Qinling Road. After I tasted it, I felt that the soup from this restaurant was fake.

First of all, the gluten in the soup is not hand-washed gluten, but gluten cubes sold in the market. I see many diners leaving all the gluten cubes in the bowl. Furthermore, because they don’t wash gluten by hand, they don’t have gluten-washing paste. They seem to use batter. There is no way to tell whether the meat in the soup is steak meat as they said.

A bowl of soup costs 8 yuan, which I don’t think is worth it. There is also a branch of Fang Zhongshan Hu Spicy Soup in the High-tech Zone. The Hu Spicy Soup costs 7 yuan, which is reasonable. Beiwudu on Xushui Street in Zhengzhou sells it for 8 yuan a bowl.

In fact, the recipe of spicy spicy soup in Xiaoyao Town is no longer a secret. You can see the spicy spicy soup powder sold everywhere in the market. I often buy this kind of powder.

Bring the soup base (water) to a boil, add the soaked fungus, golden needles, and gluten cubes, mix the spicy soup stock and the gravy with cold water, stir the soup base, and add the gravy with the seasoning powder. Put the vermicelli at the end. Although it is not as good as hand-washed gluten soup, it can still be regarded as - "two old men kissing~ it's a joke".
