Yueyang, which is 151km away from Changsha, has not only the misty Dongting Lake, the famous Yueyang Tower, but also the more hot and lively crayfish and the barbecue which is delicious in off the charts.

Unlike Chenzhou, which I wrote about on a whim, it's a city I've always wanted to go to, because the barbecue here is so famous that it attracts people like me who love barbecue. You know Paopao has many friends in Changsha, and they even drive to Yueyang for barbecue ... and crayfish. It's estimated that many people don't know that Yueyang is an important crayfish breeding base, and at least 21 million crayfish are shipped to the whole country every day.

So, some local people will tell me: Yueyang is the bearer of Hunan supper.

This time I ate alone in Yueyang for one day and two nights. Although the time was tight, I basically ate all the stores I wanted to eat because I walked fast enough and ate a lot. Some of them were well-known shops, while others were small shops only for locals, but they were all remarkable.

Let's talk about a family. First of all, if you want to be famous, the most famous barbecue restaurant in the local area must be Sanmao, and if you want to go, you must go to the main store in Paotai Mountain.

Sanmao Barbecue is estimated to have many stores in China now, because it is open to join.

when you sit down, you can see that there is a round iron plate on each table. Later, I learned that it is specially used for frying leek eggs.

this is it. It looks ugly, but all the tables are ordered, so I can't avoid it out of curiosity.

first put some oil, then spread the leek kang, and the eggs are directly beaten on the leek. The iron plate is very hot and it is made quickly.

It's actually the best leek egg I've ever eaten, especially fresh and tender, with a unique aroma. No wonder it's his signature, and now it makes my mouth water.

Wazi fish is delicious, too. It's actually a catfish with a big mouth.

The fish is tender, even in the thickest part, and it tastes delicious. It looks red, but it is not particularly spicy. The peppers in Hunan don't want to cover up everything, but only improve the taste and increase the points.

To have a barbecue in Hunan, roast butter is a must.

Butter is the breast of a bull. You should be able to understand its preciousness just by listening to it. Every cow has only four or five taels, so it is also called golden meat.

when baking butter, the fire should not be too strong, and the seasoning should not be too much. When baking it to a certain degree, you should sprinkle chopped green onion. After sprinkling chopped green onion, you should quickly wrap the chopped green onion with butter, so that the high temperature can force out the fragrant onion. The butter baked is full of fat and fragrant, with a mouthful of burnt incense, which has both the Q-bomb of tendons, the tenderness of meat and the fragrant waxy oil.

I can't get tired of eating it, because the shell is hard and crisp and the inside is bursting with oil.

pipe reinforcement is rare in our place, but it is not rare here.

The taste of this part is particularly crisp, but it is not hard. It is crunchy and does not feel greasy at all.

The battens are slightly drier and more resilient.

The red willow kebabs are just so-so. This one is better made in Xinjiang.

This is chicken cartilage. I like to eat this part, and I feel very happy when I bite the cartilage in the middle.

Roasted beef tendon mixed with fat and thin will double the satisfaction, but if you eat too much, you will get bored easily.

roasted squab is not common, but I think it tastes ordinary.

It's mainly because it's too dry. I still appreciate the Cantonese cuisine. Crispy skin and tender meat with juice are the top grade.

I like this dried fruit very much. Most of qianzi in Hunan has a smoky smell and is very chewy. It's my dish.

Sanmao Barbecue is famous, but I may have eaten too much delicious food in Hunan, but I don't think it is so outstanding. What I like best after eating is scrambled eggs with leeks, which is a bit unexpected.

Later, I went to a small shabby shop which was highly praised by local people, called the paper mill Lao Li barbecue. It was very far away, and it was raining that day. I took a taxi one way and killed almost 111 yuan. There was basically no environment in the shop, and the mess was all over the place, and there was no service. I only relied on self-help.

There are not many dishes in the whole store, just a few. This string is made of meat and rubber bands, and the taste of his family is stronger than Sanmao's.

There are also tube tendons and beef. Beef skewers are particularly delicious, fresh and tender.

I also ordered grilled crucian carp, which was placed directly on the iron plate. They like to use this iron plate very much here.

Carassius auratus is particularly dry, and its edges are crisp and fragrant.

You can also order stinky tofu in the shop, but it's not made by his family. His family's business is good, and those who sell stinky tofu nearby follow suit.

Stinky tofu is full of ingredients, but it can be fried a little harder. I like the type with hard and crisp taste.

but overall, it's not bad. I'm almost a CD player by myself.

his family has a particularly amazing match, that is, this bean curd is not cheap, and it costs ten yuan for a small portion, so you can't eat a few mouthfuls.

but it's really refreshing and greasy. It's rich in bean flavor and slightly sweet.

I ate these two restaurants, which are mainly engaged in barbecue. After all, I have to leave more space for myself when I am foraging alone, but Yueyang's midnight snack does not stop there.

Tianbao Shrimp Tail is also a famous shop, and the bald head on the far left is the boss Huang Tianbao.

His family's main dish is shrimp tails. When you enter the door, you can see the shrimp tails that are ready for cooking.

and some cauldron dishes.

the cold dishes are put directly in the freezer.

The taste of shrimp tail is not bad, but it is not outstanding. Being in Hunan, the demands are inevitably rising.

although it's a shrimp tail, it's still full of q-bombs.

a person can only peel shrimp by himself when eating, and his eyes are full of tears.

It can be seen that the state of shrimp is very QK, which is the skill of Hunan people. You don't need whole shrimp, but you can still cook the taste of whole shrimp.

this cold eel is highly recommended by the store, and it turns out to be terrible.

It's the first time in my life that I've eaten such an unpalatable eel. It's fishy and bitter.

braised pig's trotters are just so-so.

it's not bad, but it has no memory at all.

stinky tofu, like Lao Li's barbecue in the paper mill, is cooked by a nearby store. After ordering in the store, the boss will have it cooked and delivered, and the payment will also be paid to the delivery person.

it's a real store fire, and it can be fired all around!

The stinky tofu in this house is even more delicious than that ordered by the Lao family.

it is fried more thoroughly and the seasoning is more fragrant.

The green bean paste was also made and sent by another family nearby. It is the best green bean paste I have ever drunk.

The Hunan Spicy Huan I shared some time ago also had delicious green bean paste. Although it was 91% similar to what I drank here, it was still a breath away.

Brother Geng's food stall was still full at ten o'clock in the evening.

The salted duck has been eaten for many years, and the salted fish is the first time.

The fish is firm, fresh and fragrant, sweet and tender in the mouth, but full of stamina and spicy, which impressed me and made me fall in love with it.

You must eat ginger and spicy series when you come to Yueyang. Originally, ginger and spicy snakes were sold everywhere here. Because of the epidemic, snakes could not eat them, so I ordered ginger and spicy chicken feet.

both ginger and spicy taste are prominent, and chicken feet are soft and waxy, which is a standard appetizer, and it is the most suitable for mouth-to-mouth.

His ginger and spicy series is good, but it's not the best I've ever eaten.

Tasty shrimp is definitely the main point. If you don't eat more in Hunan, you will regret it when you go back!

They're all keen on putting perilla in their shrimps here, and I quite like the taste.

I just mentioned that the series of ginger and spicy food in Geng Brothers' food stall is not the best I have ever eaten, so let me share with you my favorite place to make ginger and spicy food.

This is an old shop. At present, I have eaten many ginger and spicy series, and his family always ranks first.

I ordered a ginger-spicy bullfrog at his house to taste it. It was really well done and worth going again.

Just by looking at it, you can see how spicy and delicious this bullfrog is, and the aroma is even more tangy. From the moment it is served, there is no way to control the secretion of saliva.

The bullfrog is very fresh. You can eat it by eating meat. It's not small. Look at these thick thighs, haha!

It's a lot. I almost fished out two bowls like this, and I couldn't control myself. I ate them all by myself, sweating all over, which was super cool.

The main theme of Xiang La Huan, which was shared some time ago, is the ginger spicy series. Although the products are already very good, like the Geng brothers in front, they can compete with each other, but the level is still a little lower than that of Yueyang's small family. The main feeling is that the ratio of ginger slices to peppers and the temperature are poor.

There are too many choices to eat lobster in Yueyang. I chose some special ones, and this He Xiaogu Shrimp and Crab House is quite good.

a person can't eat too much, so he directly ordered the signature braised prawns in the store.

some people may wonder, shouldn't braised in oil be the way to cook shrimp in Wuhan? Why did you eat here?

In fact, Yueyang is separated by a river from Jingzhou, Hubei, and 211km away from Wuhan. Therefore, in Yueyang dialect and food, Hubei flavor is also infiltrated. There are many things connected with Wuhan, for example, many people here choose to eat Regan Noodles for breakfast!

Shrimp is relatively large here, because people in Hunan don't care about the size of shrimp, but more about whether it tastes good, so in fact, prawns are rare here, and they are basically small.

It's really tiring to peel shrimps. Usually I eat at least ten kilos of lobster as the base, but now I just want to eat two kilos myself and hurry away. Haha!

The best thing about his family is that you can ask for a portion of powder after eating the shrimp. This flat powder is difficult to store and transport, and it is hard to eat when you leave Hunan.

The meat of crayfish is very tender. This soup is spicy and sweet. With smooth rice noodles, it is really tasty and heart-warming.

I know you will be greedy, so think of me, how greedy I am to write here!

Fine-wool catering is highly recommended by local friends and me, which is particularly hard to find. I couldn't find it by taxi for tens of dollars, so I finally called my boss to pick it up.

The mural on the wall is also very interesting, and it feels like a story shop.

His family is looking at dishes and ordering food, which means a bit of a peasant cauldron.

There are also menu bars on the wall, but many of them are not available this season.

It took me a long time to order food. I don't think I've ever seen a person who came so far to eat alone in the store. The aunt who ordered food thought that I couldn't eat it, and she thought that it was too heavy and tossed it for a long time.

The signature steamed shrimp is a must. As explained earlier, I won't say why the famous steamed shrimp in Wuhan is the main dish here in Yueyang. It's normal haha!

It's very big. It's the biggest shrimp I've ever eaten in Hunan, but it's still not as big as the shrimp I recommended here in Hefei.

gill whiteness can explain the water quality of lobster growing environment.

it's yellow. I like shrimp heads best. It's yellow here.

the meat is full and elastic, with a natural slightly sweet taste.

it comes with dipping sauce, but I prefer the original flavor myself. The dipping sauce always feels that the taste of the meat itself is covered up.

I also ordered an oily tofu, which made me very appetizing.

It's really delicious, too. The oily tofu is full and thick, and it absorbs soup. It's slightly spicy and particularly appetizing.

I also ate some snacks, but my fighting capacity continued to decline with the passage of time. This noodle restaurant for the deaf in Liu lived daily, which was quite worth eating.

I specially chose a non-food meal. There are not many people in the store. You know, what a person is most afraid of when going out for food is that the store is too busy to even have a seat, so there is no way to take a meal and occupy a seat ...

Continue to choose flat noodles to eat. It is not difficult to eat round noodles out of Hunan, and flat noodles will be gone if you really miss them.

spicy beef rice noodles with signature dishes, as well as lotus root dumplings and soybean milk.

spicy beef rice noodles are delicious, not very spicy, but very fresh.

Spicy beef means a little beef jerky. Large pieces are chewy, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes.

Powder is very smooth. It's hard to eat powder in Hunan. Any small shop will be delicious.

I haven't eaten lotus root dumplings before. The lotus root here is great, but I didn't order them this month, so I had to eat them to soothe myself.

so I figured this should be made in season, and then
