Not being a southerner, this question is a bit difficult for me to answer, so my friends in the south should know more about sugar water stores. I guess this has something to do with the turnover of food culture, but some of the old food culture should be preserved. It's also an integral part of our 5,000 years of civilization.
Why did the sugar water store, which accompanied Guangzhou people for 30 years, close? It was so good that I was a bit surprised!
Recently there are reports rumors that Hundred Flowers and Rose may face closure, what is going on? Wenming Road's Hundred Flowers dessert store and Rose dessert store accompanied the Guangzhou residents are more than 30 years time, how to say closed on the closure of it? I think there are a lot of reasons for this, but it is never because the sugar water of these two sweet stores is not good. I don't want to share the reasons why they are facing closure, I just want to suggest that the foodies who haven't had enough to drink quickly go on the street to find out which old sugar water store's sugar water you haven't drunk yet, hold on tight.
The other day on the street, but also to the old town of Haizhu District, an alley, drink several kinds of sugar water it! At that time, after drinking, the kind of contentment satisfaction feeling, not to mention how comfortable.
The store is small, a 60-year-old uncle in the old man doing a variety of flavors of sugar water, at that time, the presence of customers there are 5 people, he methodically a end out of a variety of sugar water, we quietly drink, tasting. I just want to say it's really good!
So how many more sugar water stores like this are there in Guangzhou?
If you want to drink, it is recommended to go to the old city, such as Haizhu, Yuexiu, Liwan ...... This kind of sugar water store is hidden in the alleys, the front is not big, that is to say, "the appearance of the", but their sugar water let you drink a refreshing read, unforgettable!
"Food in Guangzhou", sugar water will not let you go, go to find, try it!
Sugar water store in Guangzhou has more than 20 years of history, accompanied and witnessed the growth of a generation, many foreign tourists will also be admired to taste, is one of the characteristics of Guangzhou.
Rent is one of the reasons for the closure of sugar water stores. Small business area, expensive rent, labor, costs rise year after year, sugar water store sugar water also began to rise in price, but the service can not keep up from time to time, go to eat sugar water to look at the face of the boss, imagine who would like to spend money to buy gas suffer it? Over time, the business is dismal, and naturally, it will end in closure.
Wu is important! Twenty years ago in Zhongshan Road Dama Station (near Beijing Road) also has a good neighborhood sugar water store, because of the cityscape renovation all forced to go, so the achievement of civilization road sweet a street. Nowadays, the network information is developed, even if Hundred Flowers moved into the back of the small street volume to go, the whole of Guangzhou diners will also follow live into the small street volume to help!
I think there are a few ways to understand why the sugar water store will close!
