Introduction to Chikan Old Street
Chikan Old Street is the area where Zhanjiang Old Town is located. Her essence is that she used to be an ancient commercial port, and she is the soul of the city, bearing the prosperity, changes and changes of the city.
Wandering in the old streets and alleys of Chikan, looking at the people and things around you, all the traces left here occasionally touch the nerves of the city and the people who once lived here.
Maybe this is a potential culture.
The ancient port area initially formed in Chikan is mainly concentrated in the triangle between Zhongshan Second Road, 92 1 Road and Zhumin Road, and is mainly composed of vertical streets such as Datong Street, Zhongxing Street, Fujian Street, Chaozhou Street and Gaozhou Street. Before the end of Qing Dynasty, Zhumin Road and Nanhua Square in Chikan District were beaches, and there were boats parked outside Adam Harbor. Cargo ships coming and going can only enter and leave commercial ports through Adam Port by tidal wave, and can directly berth at commercial ports such as Gudu.
There are many breakfast shops on Dazhong Road. The old neighborhood, also known as "Shuijingtou Breakfast", is named after a well on the road. In the 1970s and 1980s, ordinary families ate more breakfast at home. The business of the breakfast shop here is average. At that time, the most popular ones were fried dough sticks and hot pork sausage rolls.
I remember that the big iron pot in front of the shop smelled of oil. Rub the beige dough in the shop on the chopping board and cut it into two pieces, as long as our palms. They gently put boiling oil on the edge of the pot. They used sarong fences to hold down long chopsticks. Fried dough sticks grow up slowly and become big and golden. They were trapped in the sand fence dripping oil.
When eating fried dough sticks, they are wrapped in paper. At first glance, they are hot, fragrant and crisp. Several children can't stop the color, smell and taste of fried dough sticks and can't bear to stay at the wellhead.
Neighbors no longer eat and chat around the well as before, but sit in cool air conditioning and comfortable and clean environment.
Unfamiliar environment indicates that the familiar taste will never be far away.
