Mingwa Gallery, located in Qinhuai District, Nanjing, is a street with a total length of about 5 meters. It was named after the Ming Dynasty when this street was a place to run Mingwa, which was a kind of glass in ancient times.
In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Mingwa Gallery was an important commercial road, with many shops, which was particularly prosperous. Moreover, Mingwa Gallery was marked on the map of the Ming Dynasty, which shows its importance. Today, it is still prosperous, especially the food and snacks on this street.
There are two gourmet snack bars that are particularly eye-catching in this street, namely "Jinwei Chestnut" and "Jinhongxing Duck Restaurant".
I believe many people have heard this saying: "No duck can walk out of Nanjing alive" and "Jinling duck is the best in the world". Nanjing people like to eat ducks, which can be said to be deeply rooted in the bone marrow. According to statistics, at least 1 million ducks are eaten every year, and "Jinhongxing Duck Shop" is definitely a favorite shop for locals and tourists. When it comes to chestnuts, autumn is the season to eat chestnuts, and "golden chestnuts" are well-deserved, with long queues every day.
Golden-flavored chestnuts only bloom in autumn, and the rest of the year are closed. Whenever they are opened, they always see this scene, which is not only loved by local people, but also attracts many tourists. The reason why they are so popular has a lot to do with the taste and quality of chestnuts in his family.
Unlike many chestnut shops in Nanjing, Jinwei Chestnut has its own personality. This one has no branch, and it is sold in limited quantities. Everyone can only buy chestnuts from 5 yuan at 23.8 yuan a catty, and only accept cash.
Almost every autumn, I come here to buy a catty of chestnuts. His chestnuts are thin, full and fresh, and they are very easy to peel.
In addition, the chestnuts that have just been fried are hot and hot, so it is recommended to wait for 5-1 minutes to eat them. They taste sweet and soft. Every time I hold golden chestnuts, I think that I can eat this delicious chestnut in autumn, and I will not lose this charming autumn color.
There is a duck shop about 1 meters away from Jinwei Chestnut, which can be said to be as popular as Jinwei Chestnut. It is "Jinhongxing Duck Shop", which is not only a century-old store, but also a online celebrity store, and it is the only one with no branch. Every time it opens, there is a long queue, and business is not too good.
Ducks include salted duck, roast duck and some snacks such as duck gizzards, duck necks and duck tongues. You can cut them and buy them whole. If you buy them whole, you can also pack them in vacuum, but no preservatives will be added. Vacuum packaging is more suitable for taking away and giving them away, but it is not recommended to store them for too long, otherwise the taste will be bad.
