Although the storefront is not big, it tastes authentic. Some are handed down from generation to generation, and there are too many flashy things, which will make consumers picky. When they travel to Xi, they must try mutton bread in soup. As the old saying goes, "If you don't eat a bowl of instant noodles in Xi 'an, you haven't been to Xi 'an." In the minds of Xi people, mutton bread in soup plays an important role.
All the friends I have met know that mutton bread in soup is like a poor way to eat. In fact, its earliest prototype is the way ordinary poor people eat. Ancient people had to take dry food with them when they went out for a long trip. When passing by the hotel, there is a shop selling hot soup for the convenience of people on the road to eat steamed buns. Later, it developed into mutton soup, and the times changed.
Many people think that to eat mutton buns, you must go to a roadside stall. In fact, in Xi 'an, mutton buns have long been taller. Even in more upscale restaurants, mutton buns are sold and even made into chain brands. It is indeed a trend to print the LOGO of the shop on the cake.
There is a very interesting phenomenon in eating mutton buns. After ordering, first find a place to sit down, and the waiter will give you some cakes on the top, so that you can experience the fun of handmade buns and break them yourself.
Of course, you can also choose a good one. Most people will choose to break buns for the first time, because they really want to know what is magical about mutton buns, which can make many consumers crazy, and they are not in a hurry to eat anyway. Then break it a little.
All steamed buns are the same size. After nearly half an hour's hard work, my hand will be broken. The waiter said, "Broken buns have skills". The smaller the steamed bread, the more uniform the soup. Soybean-sized steamed bread is just right, so you can chat with your friends. Local customs can also be seen as a way to pass the time.
After breaking up, I exchanged seat numbers with the waiter. After a while, a bowl of steaming steamed bread came out. Of course, steamed buns are also divided into price grades. The more expensive mutton is, the more enjoyable it is. The taste is mellow and rich, the rotten meat soup is thick, the nutrition is rich, the fragrance is fragrant, the aftertaste is endless after eating, the oil is light and the salt is light, and the soup is fresh.
Mutton is delicious, soft and rotten, and has no smell. Hot steamed bread is eaten around the bowl under the guidance of local people. Like most northerners, Xi people like to eat garlic. There are sugar garlic in the shop, which is sour and delicious and can neutralize greasy. That's good.
The price of a bowl of ordinary mutton bread in soup is around 30 yuan. The mutton is very big and comes with a bottle of local ice peak soda. We can chat with friends while eating, and our parents are short, so we are very happy.
There are four ways to eat steamed bread: dry planing, oral soup, water enclosure and single walking. Generally speaking, it is recommended that you take oral soup as well. Crispy mutton, strong vermicelli, hot steamed buns, delicious soup, and sugar and garlic will make steamed buns more delicious.
Go alone
The way to eat alone is a bowl of soup, steamed stuffed bun is not cooked in soup, and both soup and steamed stuffed bun can be eaten.

Boiled in a wide soup, the cooked steamed bread and meat are placed in the center of the bowl, surrounded by soup, and the steamed bread has a sharp point in the middle of the soup, just like water around the city.
Koutang
Mouth soup, boiled buns are soft and smooth. After eating steamed bread and meat, there is a mouthful of soup at the bottom of the bowl, hence the name Koutang.
Dry planing
Dry soaking, through boiling, the soup is completely absorbed into the steamed bread, which is tough and sticky, and there is no soup, steamed bread or meat in the bowl after eating.
Mutton bread in soup is also divided into ordinary and high quality, the difference lies in the amount of meat and the type of side dishes.
People who travel to Xi 'an will not come to Xi 'an unless they eat a bowl of mutton and bread pieces in soup. If you want to know the taste, you need to taste it yourself.
