Agui wonton steamed dumplings

Compared with a year ago, A Gui's home is brand-new. After a rest, the shop looks bright and clean, but chopsticks and small plates are still the old places where you can get them by raising your hand on the wall!
A Gui, who has worked hard for half a lifetime, has become a technical director. The newly recruited "apprentice" has replaced A Gui's slightly stooped back and is busy in the kitchen.
After ordering, in a short time, white and fat wonton with green shallots, thin skin and fresh meat, and lard smell came to the table. Take a bite, and it still tastes as I remember. Old customers say that the taste has not changed since childhood. Donghong Hotel

Glasses Mutton
It's an old shop that has been open for more than 3 years. It's not easy to find in Qianqiao Old Street, but it's this kind of small shop that can give people the most pleasant taste. Mutton has been steaming in the wooden bucket at the entrance of the shop, and the soy sauce made by the proprietress is particularly delicious. Braised mutton and fried lamb tripe are definitely recommended.
I tried lamb's hoof for the first time, dipped it in some soy sauce, and took a bite. The stew was rotten and waxy, and it melted in your mouth. It was full of collagen, and I felt beautiful!

Old Cao Huishan tofu flower
used to set up a tofu flower stall at the gate of Xihui Park for more than 2 years.

The name of the shop is named after the boss, so it is called Lao Cao tofu flower. Lao Cao's tofu flower is the memory of an era, and the tofu flower at the entrance of Xihui Park in spring outing is delicious in many people's memory.

The thick soy sauce paste and the tough snow-white bean curd flower are matched to form a classic Wuxi snack.

Plum Blossom Cake in Shengquanlou

Yixing and Qiaoren, the old stall owner, gave up doing it long ago, leaving a pair of copper plum cake molds for his disciples. Now this old plum blossom cake shop is located near Huilong New Village, Mingan Road.
besides the old-fashioned flour paste and stuffing, the key to the delicious recipe of Shengquanlou plum blossom cake is the equipment for making plum blossom cake.
A pair of abrasives for Shengquanlou Plum Blossom Cake was made of pure copper by hand. The mold added with glutinous rice makes the heat transfer to the mold mild, and the plum cake in the mold can not be partially zoomed because of the high heat.
I don't know when it started, but online celebrity stores became the norm for punching in friends' circle, while the old stores that have been passed down for generations are losing momentum.
Words such as "ingenuity" and "craftsman" have been mentioned again. In reality, all kinds of online celebrity delicacies are flooding our circle of friends. What kind of situation are those who really pass on the delicacies with their heart?
it is better to call for inheritance with slogans than to do it with deeds. With more attention to traditional old shops, the craftsman spirit will be recognized by more people.
