Old people sell traditional snacks for 50 years

I believe that for most people, street snacks must be good for many people. Although many old people and doctors will say that these snacks are unhealthy and unsanitary, there is no way. The taste is really hard to refuse. We may eat less, but few people can really stop eating. Actually, this is normal. After all, China itself is a gourmet country. Whether it is a meal or a snack, each city has its own local characteristics and tastes very distinctive. Every time you travel to a new city, if you don't try all kinds of local food, then this trip really lacks some souls.

So what I'm going to take you to see today is a particularly famous snack bar in Hubei. It has been opened for more than 30 years and has been passed down for four generations. Although the location is remote, business has been booming near Shipai ancient town in Zhongxiang, Hubei Province, and even many old customers drive here every day just to have a good meal. From the appearance, there is nothing special about their home, and it can even be described as "simple". The overall area is not large. Because they are a pot of rice at the door, the sanitary environment can not be said to be very good.

This humble shop only sells one kind of food-scallion Baba. To put it bluntly, this is a snack similar to scallion cake, but because of some differences in income and production methods, the taste is definitely different. This is a traditional local snack. Many old people can cook it, but now fewer and fewer young people like it. All the people who come here are elderly people, not only for the taste, but also for the feelings.

Their onions are all made of old noodles to ensure that the taste of the final product will not be too bad, and they are especially willing to use onions. Their onions consume dozens of kilograms every day. After the finished product is made, the outside has become very golden and crisp, and the slag can be removed with a little effort, but the inside still retains a very soft taste, and the bite is full of onion flavor.

If the biggest feature of their family is that they must insist on using firewood, their family is the only two shops around here that still insist on using firewood as snacks. Many elderly foodies just like to eat this firewood at home. After all, this is the real "taste of childhood".

Although their daily income is not high, but because the unit price is relatively cheap, only 3 yuan, and for so many years, this store has never thought about raising prices, and has always maintained the principle of small profits but quick turnover, which may be one of the reasons why many old customers like to come to this store.
