The epidemic in the past three years has had a significant impact on Hangzhou's catering industry, and some operators will even choose to give up the store that they have worked hard for many years. However, there are also unaffected merchants. For example, , Longxiangli Snack Street, No. 245-1, Yan'an Road.
Longxiangli Snack Street is a passage less than 100 meters away, and it gathers nearly 30 snacks in various places. As soon as it opened in September 2019, it became a new landmark in Hubin Business District, and business is booming every day.
On one hand, here is the unrivaled West Lake , and on the other hand, it is the bustling Yan'an Road, which is a must-visit check-in place for tourists. The traffic of people is often so large that it is scary. (Click to play the video of the crowd after the 2019 West Lake Music Fountain ended)
Many people remember the New Year's Eve on December 31, 2019. How many people were there in Longxiang Bridge that day? The stinky tofu stall ranked first in the snack street set a record of shocking jaw drop. The 4-square-meter stall was open all night until the next morning, and it made a turnover of 70,000 yuan with stinky tofu per serving.
Although the epidemic was later encountered, the snack street merchants re-entered their state not long after, and their business was still very booming.
Recently, District B of Longxiangli Snack Street has also opened, which is only 28 meters away from the previous one. What’s amazing is that the business is still very popular.
The transportation here is convenient. After exiting the C of Longxiang Bridge Metro Station, you can reach it in a few steps. Even if I go on weekdays, there is a huge crowd at the entrance of the newly opened District B. If you encounter weekends or holidays, there will be more people coming here to eat. It is not an exaggeration to describe it shoulder to shoulder.
Because the traffic of people is too high, the snack street also has to hang out traffic-limiting signs from time to time, send security guards to maintain order, and set up one-way import and export of people.
Almost every family is queuing up, and the teams are very close. In order to prevent customers from queuing incorrectly, merchants will play their own queuing guide card.
A long queue is lined up from indoors to outdoors, and some tourists even bring small folding stools.
Although it rained lightly last night, the popularity of the snack street was still unabated, and the team was still lined up outside the door.
These two snack streets sell classic snacks from all over the country. They are delicious and inexpensive, and the decoration design is also very trendy and fashionable, attracting many young people to check in. Women wearing Hanfu, JK, and radish can be seen everywhere.
Hangzhou foodies reported at the end of July that Chongqing couple who bought a new house of 4.27 million yuan by selling spicy and sour noodles were also optimistic about this place and opened a "Tianfu Street Stand Malatang" upstairs in District B of Snack Street.
The classic Malatang is both down-to-earth and fashionable internet celebrity temperament, and all the people come from young people. In the eyes of many girls, taking pictures is more important than eating. You must take pictures first, and then post them on Moments and Xiaohongshu while eating.
Although I eat skewers here, I use hot pot ingredients. The varieties that must be ordered in hot pot are skewers and then cooked in soups of different flavors. There is no need to worry about not being able to salvage them after cooking.
If you want to eat more varieties, but are afraid of getting full quickly, there are also various small plates of rinse dishes in the refrigerator, yellow throat , chicken feet, tripe, quail eggs, tender beef... There are so many varieties.
There are also some very red thumb fried breads here recently. As long as they are fryed out, they will be taken away by the customer immediately. If you start slowly, you have to wait for the next pot to fry it out.
It is also very convenient to drink beverages. It is placed on the supermarket shelf at room temperature.
If you want to drink ice in the freezer, Weiyi soy milk, which is the best-selling variety in the store, is the best-selling variety.
When we were eating, we sat at two long tables, and it felt like we were eating Western food, but the ones we cooked in the pot were skewers.
Everyone sat on the barrest stool and soda tank, and they were eating very hot and lively.
Because of the good business, the store manager has always been in a good mood. He often works in multiple positions and is very busy. He is the one who is busy at all positions. Before the singer and the band arrived, he would occasionally sing to create an atmosphere.(Click to play the video)
The little brother has a little strength in singing. Customers often think that he is a resident singer and even ask for a song order.
Some people want to have a drink when they are having fun. The slogans on the craft freezer are so inflammatory, making people unable to help but drink a few more glasses.
Many tourists will order a cup of ice cream in bamboo tubes. Everyone thinks it is more than the so-called " old yogurt " in Hangzhou.
The environment here is retro and very design-oriented, integrating the nostalgic elements of old Hangzhou and Chongqing. There are both the old-fashioned enamel dining plates from decades ago and the aroma of osmanthus under neon lights.
The kitchen was shaped like a barber shop in the 1980s, and a three-color rotating light was carefully installed. There are also many old Hangzhou elements in the
store. Just take a casual shot of the scene at the old Hangzhou Railway Station, and it is a perfect photo of tourists checking in.
This wall is a popular check-in point in the store, full of various Hangzhou door numbers. For old Hangzhou people, each piece is familiar and friendly.
This place is usually both a waiting area and a dining area. People who can’t wait to eat on the long table can start eating. They just start eating as soon as the plastic stool is placed, which is a perfect street stall style.
The wind of "missing you" in major cities across the country has also blown here. Although these Internet celebrity street signs are banned on outdoor roads, they are powerful traffic-driving tools in the store.
After many tourists figured out the meaning of these two sentences Hangzhou dialect , they took photos and posted them on the two street signs.
Now at around 8:30 every night, some merchants on the snack street will put out sold-out brands and no longer receive customers.
The boss of Tianfu Street Stall Malatang is willing to tell reporters that as long as you want to open business, customers always come to the door, but in order to keep the clerks in a good working state, they will close their work immediately after selling.
is willing to say that his experience of selling hot and sour noodles gave him a lot of inspiration. The epidemic has not had a big impact on down-to-earth, delicious and affordable snacks. Although he was very tired, he felt very at ease.
