I traveled to Changsha and spent a week "eating", and I made a special discovery: Changsha gourmet restaurants with high ratings on the Internet are all "eating" by Changsha people tirelessly and have real reputations.

For example, when I was near Yinhua, I opened a food website and found this restaurant: "No. 1 in the seafood rankings in Furong District", Xuji Seafood.

This is a gourmet restaurant that Changsha people can be proud of. It is very honorable to bring guests here to have a meal at home.

Even when Changsha Metro Line 2 arrives at the Furong Square station, the radio will announce: "Passengers arriving at Xuji Seafood Yinhua Branch, please get off at this station." This shows its great reputation in Changsha.

So my friends and I quickly decided to go pull weeds.

1→Go to Changsha, an inland city, to eat seafood?

What do you think?

Seeing me eating seafood in Changsha, a friend said: Come to Changsha and eat seafood?

Didn't you come here in vain?

But I don't think so.

"Historical Records" says: Changsha's "terrain is fertile for food".

In other words, Hunan is a place where there is never a shortage of food.

It can be inferred from the funerary objects at Mawangdui in Changsha that during the Western Han Dynasty, which was more than 2,000 years ago, there were nearly a hundred delicious cooking methods in the borders of Hunan and Chu.

It can be said that Changsha people’s pursuit of taste is innate. No matter what delicious food they eat in Changsha, they are not “free”.

Whether it is the famous stinky tofu or the "unpopular" seafood and game, they are all Changsha flavors worth tasting.

Changsha is not just about stinky tofu and rice noodles. When traveling to Changsha, you must try all kinds of delicious food.

2 Changsha people like to eat seafood. When I was choosing a meal in the lobby, I saw a girl with a Changsha accent and her parents coming to eat at Xuji Seafood. The girl was very young and she must be born in the 90s. They ordered some

Small seafood and ginger oysters cost around 180 yuan per person.

People in Changsha love good food, and they particularly value the "experience" and cost-effectiveness of a store. For example, when my local friend in Changsha mentioned Xuji Seafood, the first three sentences everyone commented on it must include "the service attitude is the best in Changsha" and "

High-end" and "comfortable".

Xuji Seafood’s various services are indeed in place.

When you park downstairs, you can directly go to the waiter to get your parking ticket. The welcome at the gate is enthusiastic, and the waiter skillfully arranges the plates, passes towels and changes the dishes during the meal. This thoughtful feeling is an "extra enjoyment" besides experiencing the taste of delicious food.

3 Taste: Because there were so many people, we boldly ordered a few "hard dishes".

Among them is the most expensive dish I have ever eaten during my travels: king crab, which cost 3,000 yuan per plate.

The crabs were presented on a luxurious plate. The waiter pushed the soup pot into the hall and cooked the crabs one by one at the table, giving each person a few pieces.

But...even though this crab is so expensive, I only ate it as a "fresh" one. It was dipped in a light sauce and felt soft and tender. I really don't know how to appreciate the "expensive taste" (face covering)

.

On the contrary, the "cheap" oyster next to it was steaming with a hint of heat when it was served in a steamer. The beautiful waiter used a delicate spoon to elegantly fill each oyster with cherry ginger juice, leaving a fragrant aroma on the lips and teeth.

Very delicious.

In the second half of the meal, the waiter soaked the rice with the king crab soup and got a bowl of "seafood porridge", one for each person, which was a little surprising.

I suddenly discovered that every dish in this restaurant, as long as it has soup, is very suitable for soaking in rice. It is not oily, not greasy, not salty, not heavy, fresh and fragrant, and goes well with rice.

You see, this is Changsha gourmet food. Well-known big restaurants always have their strengths in "small places".

For example, in Xuji Seafood, the expensive king crab didn't surprise me, but the humble rice was so delicious that it couldn't fit in the bowl, which was really interesting.

What’s also amazing is the walnut bun. When you bite it lightly, the sauce inside pours into your tongue. The brown sugar flavor on the outside is also very mild. The craftsmanship is not inferior to the dim sum I have eaten at morning tea shops in Hong Kong.

The waitress said that this dessert was not originally the main recommendation of the store, but unexpectedly all the guests liked it, and it became a must-order "Internet celebrity dessert" at every table.

Being able to eat such "authentic" Cantonese taste in Changsha, a city in central China, I have to sigh.

4 Postscript Xuji Seafood has a history of 20 years and has an excellent reputation in Changsha. It also has more than 20 directly-operated branches across the country. I heard that it will open a branch in Shenzhen this year.

A seafood restaurant in an inland city is now expanding to coastal cities. It must be said that Xu Ji is the pride of Hunan people.

Nowadays, when the name "Xuji Seafood" is mentioned in Changsha, many people will define it as "a place for rich people's luxury consumption". However, there are more than ten people at our table, and the final calculation is about 300 per person. From this point of view,

In fact, it is not as "exaggerated" as rumored by the outside world.
