I talked about snacks in Yuncheng, and most of them are good at earthy flavor. However, due to the limited economic conditions and products, Yuncheng mainly makes a fuss about white flour. Yixiangge, the hottest Yuncheng restaurant in Taiyuan at present, is a staple food such as beef tripe rinse, twisted vegetable rolls and oil-sprinkled noodles. In fact, there is an innovative Yuncheng dish in Taiyuan, which is the Chinese New Year 5A restaurant next to North America's N1. I went to eat it once the year before last. Besides carrots, tofu and eggs, jiaozi is good, and the Yuncheng copper hot pot made by him is delicious. The braised pork is very thin, with golden gouhai rice, and the taste is fine, which is worth recommending.

In terms of Shanxi's food level, Datong should be the first choice besides Taiyuan, the provincial capital. First, Datong was the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty in history, which has a deep cultural background. Second, it is close to Beijing, and it is more convenient to accept advanced culture. Third, Datong's coal was once brilliant, and the army was once brilliant in Datong. The consumption concept they brought, even if they drink cold water tomorrow, has lasted for a long time in Datong. The word "eat and wear" is the essence of Datong culture. More than a decade ago, there were four or five five-star hotels in a small city of Datong. Many Datong people think that the level of Datong hotels is higher than that of Taiyuan.

When I was in college, the most beautiful girl on campus was Datong, and only Datong boys insisted on wearing a suit and tie every day. No matter how many food tickets were still in my pocket, at least I kept myself in good spirits. In the 1991s, Datong had Yungang Hotel, Yanbei Hotel, Hongqi Restaurant, Internet Club and other high-end hotels, especially the Internet Club, which could eat, take a bath and sauna. His boss was also a legend who could play with billions of loans in the 1991s. Later, he went to South Africa for more than ten years, and he voluntarily returned to China in the National Hongtong Action last year because the money was spent. During his running, a pair of plaques dedicated to Wuye Temple in Wutai Mountain were never taken down, but their names were blacked out in black ink, which shows their great influence.

Since the beginning of the millennium, Datong has frequently changed leaders, and each leader has one idea. Moreover, the main leaders often can't pee in a pot. In addition, Datong's coal resources are gradually exhausted, which leads to the development of Datong being surpassed by Linfen, Changzhi, Lvliang. From 2118 to 2113, during his five years in Datong, Geng Yanbo gave a devastating impetus to the urban construction of Datong. Later, the party secretary from Beijing was also a bold and pragmatic person, and Datong did not fall far behind. It can be seen that there are one or two wise leaders in a place, which has a very great role in his development.

I remember when I went to Datong ten years ago, the municipal leaders in Datong's team, all of whom lived in a five-star Howard Johnson Hotel, each with a suite, a luxurious buffet, swimming pool and gym. It was really jealous. A leader invited me to the newly-opened Fenglinge for dinner, and told me that the hotel owner offered me an annual salary of 1 million yuan, and invited a couple from Inner Mongolia. I heard that this restaurant would be a fire, and why? The annual salary of 1 million is in exchange for tens of millions of advertising effects. Who doesn't want to eat the master bag with an annual salary of 1 million? How dare you not have a few hard dishes when you eat such expensive Shao Shao? You have to drink if you have food and meat, right? This is the courage and vision of Datong people to eat. Unfortunately, due to road demolition and other reasons, the Fenglin Pavilion in Datong has closed. The Fenglin Pavilion in wanda plaza, Taiyuan is still open, so you can have a taste.

The most famous snack in Datong is Daoxiao Noodles. A bowl of Daoxiao Noodles, braised pork, dried bean curd and meatballs has traveled halfway through China, which has given us a small sigh of relief in Shanxi's diet. The secret of its success is the Chinese standard procedure which is similar to the western fast food standard, and the threshold is low, easy to enter and easy to popularize. But the shortcomings are also obvious, because there is no strong parent company to support it, and there is no strong unified brand (there are several brands, such as Dongfang, Shunliu, No.7 Middle School Daoxiao Noodles, etc.). There is no centralized distribution of raw materials, so it is impossible to achieve a certain level of scale. I know a friend who is Mr. Li's agent for California beef noodles. According to him, Mr. Li's beef noodles are definitely fake foreign devils who are operated by China people themselves but fully learn from McDonald's and KFC's business model. The headquarters is in Handan, Hebei Province, and all raw materials (including noodles) are delivered. You only need to pay the joining fee. There is a strict system from location to management. Even if you are a rookie and don't know how to operate, you will earn a fixed return every year. Therefore, there is a reason why Mr. Li's beef noodles are everywhere in the country (especially in high-speed railway station).

There is also a snack in Datong called Yellow Cake Dipped Chicken. The raw material is yellow wheat. First, warm water is used to make it into pieces (loose grains), then it is steamed in a cage, then it is poured into a basin and rubbed again by hand, while rubbing some sesame oil on its surface. This can prevent the surface of the cake from cracking. Finally, divide the mixed cake noodles into small pieces and dip them in stewed chicken pieces or meat and vegetable juice. Yellow cake has four characteristics of "yellow, soft, tender and fragrant". It tastes soft and delicious. But it's hard to eat what you can't eat, because it's too soft and sticky. You have to tear a small piece and knead it into a ball before you can swallow it with chicken soup, otherwise it will stick in your mouth, which is very embarrassing. Interestingly, Datong people's explanation of yellow rice has another meaning. In the 1961s and 1971s, the miners in Datong Mining Bureau were well paid, and most of them were single. After they were paid every month, the beautiful women in the nearby village carried a small bag of yellow rice on their backs and sold it to the miners. When they entered the door, they asked if they would measure the yellow rice. Although the yellow rice was more expensive, everyone was happy.

In the early 1991s, there was a star enterprise Datong Tongfeng Meat Products Factory in Datong. His cooked meat products, such as braised pork and braised meatballs, were very delicious and sold well in North China. At that time, the performance absolutely crushed the current Liuweizhai. Unfortunately, the star factory director was patriotic and excellent, and was promoted to be the deputy director of the Provincial Department of Commerce, and later worked as the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee in Yangquan. There was a leader in officialdom, but the enterprise lacked the backbone, and in a few years, the same wind factory collapsed. If Datong can launch a national interlocking Daoxiao Noodles brand, it will be called Tongfeng Daoxiao Noodles Chain Store, which, like Shaxian snacks, will definitely promote Datong's economic revival. In the south, Daoxiao Noodles of Datong is rarely seen, but there is a large number of chain stores run by Shanxi people. I heard that it has entered the Growth Enterprise Market and is ready to go public. Isn't this a blessing?

Datong rabbit head is also famous, spicy and delicious, especially suitable for drinking. I have traveled around many places in the country, but only Chengdu Shuangliu rabbit head seems to be comparable. According to my good friend Shuixiguan Gourmet, Datong's most famous rabbit head was sold in a small restaurant converted from a dilapidated bus compartment at night, and casserole tofu is also very famous, which is most suitable for midnight snack after drinking. Unfortunately, I didn't go to eat it. However, rabbit head has not formed an industry, and there are no products that are convenient to package. The small bag products that rabbit head in Chengdu is convenient to pack are sold everywhere in supermarkets. This is the gap. There are also jelly such as Hunyuan's second sister kannika nimtragol. The Chili oil is particularly fragrant, accompanied by Guangling dried bean curd and fried soybeans, which is also a kind of appetizer for Likou. In the first four or five years, there was a Hunyuan Sister Hotel in the alley west of Wangfujing Department Store in Taiyuan. In addition to bean jelly, smoked chicken smoked rabbit's head and fat intestines are very tasty, and the staple food braised dishes poured with bean noodles are also a must. It is often seen that after visiting Wangfujing's Babri scarf, beautiful women who carry Prada bags and wear Kuchi hate sky heights suck bean jelly here. If you want to contact beautiful women, please serve a bowl of bean jelly, and then go back to Wangfujing to buy a Tiffany diamond ring. It is only two steps away from Kempinski Hotel.
