***6 pieces of scallion meat pie snack originate from Fuzhou. Whenever someone comes from northern Fujian, I will tell you in advance: when passing through Fangcun, don’t forget to take a few pieces of scallion meat pancakes with you.
But eating such overnight cakes was never satisfying, so I finally couldn't bear it anymore and decided to visit Fangcun in person when I went to northern Fujian.
We are not afraid of not knowing the goods, but we are afraid of comparing goods.
When I arrived in Fangcun, I compared more than 20 small shops selling scallion meat pancakes, and I realized that although all the scallion meat pancakes in Fangcun were good, Wangfu shop still made the best ones.
This is proved by "seeing is believing": First of all, there are two scallion meat pie shops adjacent to Wangfu store. There are a full basket of scallion meat pancakes at the door of these two shops.
The basket of scallion meatloaf in the Hu store has long been sold out.
Although the three workers in the store were still busy making the cakes, as soon as the cakes came out of the oven, they were immediately picked up by passengers from buses and cars parked on the roadside, and they snatched up each bag.
The latecomers were in a hurry and couldn't wait for the new cakes to be baked, so they had to turn to the two small shops next door to buy cakes.
The owner of the Wangfu shop said that they had moved twice, and each time they moved, two bakeries followed them. One on the left and the other on the right opened a shop next door to take advantage of the Wangwa shop.
Fortunately, the nature of life in rural areas is simple, and the supply of scallion meat pancakes in Wangfu shop is always in short supply, so they are happy to leave the business to their neighbors, and they live in harmony with each other.
