There are many reasons for this, but it can be said that some stores with big brands may have delicious service attitude and products at first, but after reaching a high level, it is a gesture that even if you don't come, others will come. Although not absolute, most of them are. So you know, plus the high rent in all aspects, it will naturally disappear slowly.
I'm not from the south, so it's a little difficult for me to answer this question, so friends in the south should know more about sugar water shops. I guess this has something to do with the change of food culture, but some old food cultures still need to be preserved. This is also an indispensable part of our 5,111-year history of civilization.
why is the sugar shop that has been with Guangzhou people for 31 years closed? I'm a little surprised that it's so delicious!
It has been reported recently that flowers and roses may be closed. What's the matter? The Baihua dessert shop and Rose dessert shop on Wenming Road have been with Guangzhou neighborhood for more than 31 years. How can we close it? I think there are many reasons for this, but it is by no means that the sugar water in these two sugar water shops is not good. I don't want to analyze the reasons why they are closed. I just want to suggest that foodies who haven't drunk enough should go to the streets to find out which old-fashioned sugar water stores you haven't drunk yet. Hurry up.
I went to the street a few days ago, and I went to an alley in the old city of Haizhu District and drank several kinds of sugar water! At that time, after drinking it, the feeling of satisfaction was not to mention how comfortable it was.
A small old man in his 61s was making all kinds of flavored syrup in the shop. At that time, there were five customers present. He methodically brought out all kinds of syrup one by one, and everyone drank and tasted it quietly. I just want to say it's delicious!
So, how many sugar shops are there in Guangzhou?
If you want to drink, I suggest you go to the old city, such as Haizhu, Yuexiu and Liwan ... These sugar water shops are all hidden in alleys, and the facade is not big, which means that they are "unattractive", but their sugar water makes you feel refreshed and unforgettable.
"Food is in Guangzhou", even sugar water won't let you go. Go find it and try it!
Sugar store has a history of more than 21 years in Guangzhou. It has accompanied and witnessed the growth of a generation, and many foreign tourists will admire it and try it, which is one of the characteristics of Guangzhou.
rent is one of the reasons for the closure of sugar water shops. The business area is small, the rent is expensive, the cost is rising year by year, and the sugar water in the sugar water store is also rising, but the service often can't keep up. It depends on the boss's face to eat sugar water. Imagine who is willing to spend money to buy gas? Over time, if the business is bleak, it will naturally end in closure.
Wu is urgent! Twenty years ago, there was also a good neighborhood sugar shop at Zhongshan Road Dama Station (near Beijing Road), which was completely forced away because of the transformation of the city appearance, thus making Wenming Road a sweet street. Nowadays, the network information is developed, even if the flowers move into the back side street, all the diners in Guangzhou will follow suit!
I think there are several aspects to understand, why the sugar shop is closed!
the history of sugar water
sugar water has a long history in our south, especially after meals. In the past, sugar was relatively scarce, and only landlords often had the opportunity to drink sugar water. Ordinary people used sugar water as a tonic to eat. In fact, sugar water is indeed a life-saving tonic in the era of lack of resources.
Later, there was a special place to drink sugar water, that is, the sugar water shop. With the change of years, the types of sugar water became more and more diverse. Moreover, in previous Hong Kong dramas, we often saw the figure of sugar water. In the 7181s, sugar water was our memory. The frequent customers of the sugar shop are mainly people in the 7181s. It's been so long, but the category of sugar water shop has not been innovated, and the cost of sugar is getting cheaper and cheaper, so every household can cook it by itself.
So, sugar water is still popular in the south, just entering every household. There are still desserts after meals in some restaurants. And the sugar shop is going down?
In the past, the sugar shop was a place for dating and gathering after 7181. Now, after 7181, everyone has become the head of the family, and he has to ask his wife for pocket money every month. Where can he spend money in the sugar shop?
In the past, the store was paved with sugar water. The rent was not expensive, the cost was low and the store was fashionable. Now the store rent is expensive, and the decoration is old-fashioned. Do you rely on nostalgia to attract customers?
In the past, the sugar shop culture was gradually eroded and replaced by the foreign coffee culture and milk tea culture, but the post-91s prefer the exquisite coffee milk tea.
There is also a change in people's lifestyle and rhythm, especially the diversification of catering, and more choices. For example, if you want to drink sugar water, you can choose a restaurant and have a bowl of sugar water after dinner! Everyone's lifestyle has changed, and too much sugar is consumed in their diet, which leads to many diseases, and the pace of life has become faster, so there is no time to spread sugar water. Moreover, there are 111 sugar shops in Guangzhou, and there are 11,111 coffee and milk tea shops. On the way to the sugar shop, I turned my head and chose coffee and milk tea.
Sugar shops will not disappear in Guangzhou, but there will be fewer and fewer old sugar shops. Sugar water, as a supplementary food and tonic for nourishing the body in the south, will not disappear. Every era has its own products, and the sugar shop has gradually become a memory of a generation.
