Authorized by director Zhang.

"Every city has different flavors and different urban characteristics. “

Recently, some friends from other places exposed the delicious food in Nanning, which surprised me. Why? It's all because they all watched a documentary called Jianghu Nightingale.

The documentary begins with sour milk, which leads to jelly-like raw sheep blood, grassy mutton flat soup, Zhongshan Road night market and uncle "mayor of night market", 30-year-old uncle grilled fish, Nanning people's favorite snail, weightlifting champion roast duck and so on.

As night falls, the time in Nanning slows down. The streets and alleys of this city are ready to act together and start its gorgeous transformation. After a while, even the corners were brightly lit and crowded.

Every food stall and supper stall is crowded with diners who come to feed. Looking around, motorcycles are neatly arranged outside the store, and the snack table is crowded with sweaty diners. What's more, some people drink, chat and eat snacks with small tables at the edge of the horse, and enjoy the happiness brought by midnight snack under the dim street lights.

The stall owners of food stalls are also sweating and selling skills in the dark, robbing diners of their stomachs with food full of gunpowder.

As Du Xing, the general director of Aauto Quicker Jianghu, said:

"When eating a midnight snack, it is more like a person, the label is torn off, and then I don't want to be the same person as during the day."

It is these all kinds of people who use snack food to paint a picture of Nanning's thriving snack life, and show Qian Qian's different life styles in the rivers and lakes.

In the documentary, Jiu Shu, a celebrity manager of Zhongshan Road, Liu Shu, a famous grilled fish man, Wu Shu, a fried snail at the end of Gonghe Road, Tang Liming, a sheep herder in Dashan, and the fat girl of national weightlifting champion Huang Heping West Night Market are the true portrayal of their ordinary life and way of life.

▎ The unknown "brotherhood" of Zhongshan Road

Speaking of Zhongshan Road, Nanning locals describe it like this: "It is like a straw house during the day and like a paradise at night."

Indeed, Zhongshan Road is desolate and dilapidated during the day, with an old house on the left and a construction site on the right.

At night, this 400-meter old street is brightly lit and crowded with people. Usually it takes only ten minutes to walk across the street, but it takes an hour to walk through the bustling crowd at night.

It can be said that this place is the most prosperous place in Nanning's snack Jianghu, not only because of the diversity of food here, but also because of the story and life of a snack Jianghu on Zhongshan Road.

# Uncle "Night Mayor" #

Uncle Jiu is the manager of Zhongshan Road 1, a 400-meter night market with more than 600 stalls. He has 32 years of management experience and is called "the mayor of night market".

At sunset, with Uncle Jiu's command, Zhongshan Road officially started nightlife.

More than 30 years ago, Jiu Shu joined five food stalls and planted the seeds of Zhongshan Road Night Market. Zhongshan Road, which has been busy for more than 30 years, is supported by Jiu Shu alone.

As an uncle who put in a good word for the self-employed, he slowly won the trust of vendors all over the street, and gave full play to the human touch and loyalty in Zhongshan Road, a snack. But only those who have worked hard in this street know the taste.

# Grilled fish Uncle Liu #

Uncle Liu is Uncle Jiu's fair-weather brother for decades. Coincidentally, they were all born in the First People's Hospital near Zhongshan Road, and they spent the next few decades on this 400-meter old street.

The two brothers hit it off, meeting, playing cards and drinking every day. Uncle Jiu patrols Zhongshan Road every day, and Uncle Liu also has his own grilled fish stall, which has been more than 30 years and has become a bearers of grilled fish on Zhongshan Road!

All the recipes used by Uncle Liu for grilled fish were debugged by Uncle Liu after most of his life's experience. Only he knows and never tells anyone.

With his superb barbecue technology, Uncle Liu makes the skin of grilled fish crisp and the meat tender and juicy.

Brush with unique secret sauce, the sauce is attractive. Perilla, sour bamboo shoots, sauerkraut, pickled peppers, bean sprouts and other condiments make the grilled fish full of flavor. Let Nanning's old friends taste it all in this grilled fish.

# Uncle Fried Snail #

Fifth Uncle, full of wild vitality, began to fish snails in Yongjiang River in his teens, and later took root in Zhongshan Road and started his own snail-frying business.

As an outsider, Uncle Wu met Uncle Liu and Uncle Jiu on Zhongshan Road. They accepted and welcomed Uncle Wu to Nanning to achieve his career. So these three people became brothers, which can be said to be a lifelong friendship.

Wild and energetic, Uncle Wu became an excellent chef with his extraordinary arm strength and superb cooking skills. After the washed snail is sterilized with hot water, stir fry in the pan, pour in the secret sauce and keep stirring, then add the auxiliary materials such as sour bamboo shoots, peppers and perilla, stir fry for three times and stew for three times.

After cooking, the fried snails are infiltrated into the snail meat by the hot and sour sauce, but the delicious snail meat is also fresh and sweet, which is simply enjoyable to pick up! The snails fried by Uncle Wu taste like Uncle Wu's personality, which is: Ging in Nanning dialect!

The midnight snack on Zhongshan Road is stable and interesting because of the loyalty of the fifth uncle, sixth uncle and ninth uncle. Their lifelong friendship is particularly precious in today's mixed society.

Mashan black goat

Tang Liming, a herdsman from the mountainous area, came to Nanning by accident and was attracted by the business opportunities in Nanning, so he decided to stay in Nanning.

After fifteen years of hard work, with the support of his brothers, he stood firm in the snack rivers and lakes in Nanning with his unique sheep blood soup and white grass mutton soup.

Tang Liming's sheep blood soup is a Guangxi flavor side dish made of raw sheep blood. When it is mixed with fried mutton, peanuts and chopped green onion, it tastes extremely delicious.

Fresh but not fishy, and the taste is silky. This unique taste of Guangxi makes Tang Liming a favorite of many fans.

There is another equally famous white grass mutton soup, which is also unique to Guangxi. It is commonly known as mutton flat soup, and its making process is particularly curious.

This dish is used to take out the small intestines of sheep that have just eaten grass, cook them directly without cleaning, add sheep liver and sheep gall in time, then fry them until golden brown and then chop them up. At this time, you can smell the smell of grass in the intestines of sheep in the air.

The fresh taste of vanilla dilutes the greasy feeling of fried lamb intestines, and finally, inject rich mutton bone soup and appropriate seasoning, and sprinkle with Toona sinensis. All combinations of flavors can complement each other.

Tang Liming said: "Everything we have now is inseparable from the support of our brothers."

In Nanning, a midnight snack depends on brotherhood and sincerity. His personal story aptly shows the theme of Nanning snacks. Tang Liming is the man who can grow into a towering tree by grasping a handful of soil.

▎ Weightlifting champions use "roast duck" to provoke the burden of life.

Passers-by are easily attracted by the name of this weightlifting couple halogen-burning shop near Guangxi Sports Bureau.

Although "husband and wife" no longer exists, the phrase "once lifted the dignity of athletes, now lifted the burden of a new life" still carries the boss's own mentality.

The proprietress, who used to be a weightlifting champion, chose to give up a stable life and start a new career because she wanted to lead her brothers and sisters to live the life they wanted. So I started cooking my best roast duck again.

The roast ducks that Huang sold to his guests were all freshly baked that day. The fat meat sizzles and the skin oil is golden, which makes people drool.

After cutting the skin, the duck meat is tight but not firewood, and the unique juice of duck meat overflows from the mouth and teeth, which makes people want to stop.

Because the roast duck in Huangjia hometown tastes salty, it is not as sweet and greasy as the honey roast duck in Nanning local market.

Relying on her own creativity, she mixed roast duck with salty old friend powder. I didn't expect this kind of collocation to be liked by many diners. They called it a perfect match.

▎ "Fat sister is sour" to support the family.

Speaking of snacks in Nanning, it is of course sour and refreshing.

There is also a saying circulating in Nanning: "The hero is sad about the beauty pass, and the beauty is sad about the sour wild stall." This sentence didn't come out of thin air. Even the lover of Huang Jue, a star who went out from Guangxi, couldn't resist the temptation of sour taste and drowned in front of the sour wild booth.

As a good appetizer, sour cream appears on various snack tables together with various delicacies. It's like a door to snack life. Only a few mouthfuls of sour cream can you enjoy this snack.

For Nanning people, sour taste is a kind of cultural heritage, and the famous sour taste wild stall may be represented by fat girl sour taste.

Sauerkraut made by fat girl always uses the freshest ingredients, and then makes sour water through her own experience, so that the sour and sweet taste is just right. The fruits and vegetables made by the fat girl are very tasty. They are crisp, sour and delicious, which makes you want to stop. Let the bystanders swallow their saliva.

There is a sign in front of Sister Fei's booth, "Building the most influential sauerkraut food stall in Nanning in 30 years". This is not her arrogance. As long as she has eaten her own sauerkraut, she will know that this signboard is not a false name. No one in Nanning can resist the temptation of a fat sister.

The fat girl, who is also a migrant, came to Nanning from a small village to live for more than 30 years before getting married, because the embarrassing life prompted her to start her own sour career. The fat girl who just started to set up a stall was once shy in front of the stall because of her face.

After more than 30 years of precipitation, Fat Sister has changed from a shy little girl to an all-powerful figure in Pingxi night market. She has created her own world in the rivers and lakes of life. Although the process is hard, she can always stand in Nanning.

In this episode of gourmet Jianghu, there may be more than midnight snack and delicious food.

Among them, those who struggle in this river and lake, the stories that happened to them, and the way everyone is trying to make a living are more worthy of expression.

Gourmet Jianghu is just one of the worlds in which human beings live, but in fact, every industry is the same and the process may be arduous. It is normal not to be understood and recognized, but as long as you work hard, you will definitely get the life you want.

I can't help crying for someone from other places who wrote "I love Nanning" but finally took root in Nanning. Just like the fat girl said, "I am from Nanning", I am happy for her.

It is these street people who make food in the dark that bring the noise of night to Nanning. No matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, the noise of night lasts until three or four in the morning.
