A bowl of wonton, a mouthful of bamboo tube noodles, a lifetime of Guangzhou love! An endless stream of tourists from all over the world come to Liwan District, Guangzhou to taste Xiguan cuisine, experience food culture and feel Guangzhou's profound humanistic feelings.

How many people can tell where the honor comes from?

"How many wonton are there in Qing Rong? What is the difference between Da Rong and Xi Rong? " A series of questions puzzled many diners from all over the world, and the younger generation who lived in Guangzhou for a long time could not answer them. In the beautiful noodle restaurant of Shangxia Jiuduobao Road, colorful classical Manchu windows and mahogany dining tables, when the reporter entered the door, it was like going back to the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. The retro atmosphere came to my face, and the citizens in line were tasting Wonton Noodles.

"Fine Rong and big Rong can't be separated, mainly because of cultural fault," said Mr. Wu, the person in charge of the noodle restaurant. "Wonton Noodles is a snack, not a staple food. Xi Rong and Da Rong are actually what Wonton Noodles said. "

According to industry insiders, the bamboo tube noodles are 1, with 4 wonton noodles, so a bowl of wonton noodles is called "fine Rong"; 1 two halves 6 wonton is "Zhongrong"; Eight-sided wonton is "great honor" In traditional Wonton Noodles, noodles should be crisp and wonton should be of moderate size. The stuffing of wonton is river shrimp and semi-fat pork, and the soup base is made of native fish, pig bones and shrimp after a long time, which is fragrant and delicious.

On the second floor of the noodle restaurant, there is a handmade noodle room with a big bamboo on it. According to insiders, noodles should be made by hand from opening, powder, burying, sitting, car surface and cutting surface, and top-grade bamboo noodles should be carefully made.

"You should make noodles by hand with bamboo poles," said Mr. Wu. "As long as you insist on making noodles by hand, you can make the best bamboo tube noodles. Although the mechanically made noodles are fast, the taste is not so elastic. "

How to be authentic? The following is wonton, and the above is noodles. The details are delicious: send the noodles upstairs and cook for 5 seconds less.

"We insist on being Wonton Noodles just to let everyone know what the real Wonton Noodles is," Mr. Wu said. A bowl of Wonton Noodles is served, with wonton at the bottom and bamboo on the top. This practice is also to prevent noodles from absorbing water, resulting in poor soaking. "

"The noodle restaurant has the second floor. For the guests sitting on the second floor, we will be called Wonton Noodles's chef. When he sees customers ordering food on the second floor, he will spend five seconds less in Wonton Noodles. These five seconds are reserved for the clerk to deliver the noodles to the second floor.

"If you can't taste good Wonton Noodles, it's a waste of food," Mr. Wu said. "Our shop assistants sometimes see many diners playing with mobile phones, and we will remind them to eat noodles quickly, otherwise they will not taste the bamboo noodles with elastic teeth after soaking for too long."

The quality of Wonton Noodles embodies the pursuit of Guangzhou people for gourmet quality culture, while Wonton Noodles culture is still a problem of the inheritance of China traditional culture.

Behind Mr Wu's opening of Wonton Noodles store is a traditional story of China family. "He Laobo, the noodle shop owner, used to sell Wonton Noodles in Shangxiajiu," Mr. Wu said. 765,438+0 years ago, Mr. He Lao, the father of noodle shop owner, sold bamboo noodles in Shangxiajiu. Later, he brought Wonton Noodles, who was studying in Guangzhou, to Hong Kong, attracting a large number of diners, and thus founded a catering group. Today, the catering group has more than 20 stores in Hong Kong, Macao and other places. "

To promote Wonton Noodles culture, Mr. Wu has participated in Guangfu Temple Fair for five consecutive years. During the temple fair, tourists from all over the country personally cooked wonton with the clerk to meet the queue in Guangfu Food District beside Beijing.

A family of three eats a bowl of wonton together.

"My face is full of teeth, and wonton is juicy." Li Bo, 66, of Fengyuan Road, and his wife each ordered a bowl of first-class wonton, and a box of barbecued pork. "We ate wonton and remembered the past 40 years ago. At that time, my wife was young and beautiful, and I was very young. "

"A bowl of wonton noodles, also don't want to eat at that time. I remember when my son was 3 years old, our family bought a bowl of "Rong Da" wonton and shared it among three people. My son ate five, and my wife ate three and some noodles. I finally ate soup and noodles together. "

Today, many years have passed, Li Laobo and his wife are tasting Wonton Noodles and recalling the past. "My wife likes juicy barbecued pork, so I'll add one for her."
