Is it the ordinary appearance, the harmonious taste composed of more than 20 kinds of spices, the comfort brought to Chongqing people every morning by coarse and fine, or the warmth floating from the air every night? ...
In the eyes of tourists, the most attractive thing about noodles is to keep changing, otherwise this bowl of noodles, such as miscellaneous sauce peas, braised beef, spicy chicken and braised pork intestines, will become richer and more attractive.
In Chongqing, there is a unique noodle. Their family's specialty is not any kind of jiaozi mentioned above, but a common dish on the dinner table of China people's New Year's Eve-cold pig's ears.
Chongqing people love cold dishes, and they can't live without cold dishes all year round. Chicken with saliva, white meat with garlic paste, cucumber with garlic paste and eggplant with cold salad are the representatives, occupying a corner of our dining table. Cold dishes made of special parts such as pig ears and pig arches have become a blind tune in plain life.
Pig ears are unique in texture, showing a crystal clear state after cooking, with whiskers embedded in the middle and distinct layers. Generally, eating pig's ears is simply pickled, and then dipping in Chili noodles is delicious and appetizing.
Of course, in order to make the taste more uniform, various seasonings can also be mixed with pig ears to make the taste more delicious. "Opening pig's ears for half a day" is to combine Chongqing noodles with cold pig's ears and create a sky in the huge market of Chongqing noodles.
Because it was only sold for half a day, the supply of noodles in their house was in short supply. After the popularity, Pig Ear embarked on the road of joining.
At the intersection of Shaanxi Road in Chaotianmen, Chongqing, the area of this "pig ears for half a day" is only about 10 square meter, of which one third is used as a kitchen and the rest is a restaurant.
Therefore, it can accommodate at most 15 people at a time. If there are too many people, you can only put two temporary tables on the roadside.
Youpin ordered a rice noodle, a small noodle and a plate of pig's ears. Every 6 yuan, spent 18 yuan. From the point of view of weight and location, this price can also be said to be cost-effective.
After tasting it, I was a little disappointed. Compared with the store's word of mouth, the overall taste is very general, and there is no amazing feeling.
I don't know if the store is busy cooking. The rice noodles and noodles are hard, but the disadvantage is that they are not finished. Cold pig ears taste good, delicious but not enough for me to fall in love with.
When I shared this store with netizens, many people questioned: Isn't it in Majiapu to open pig ears for a long time? Is this shop fake?
Indeed, franchisees spend a lot of money to learn technology, using the same store name, but in any case the taste will be somewhat different from the original, and it is understandable that people have such doubts after eating it.
In addition to the pig's ear for a long time, there are many Chongqing noodle brands to join, such as the old lady noodle stand, the flower market pea noodle, the fat girl noodle restaurant and so on.
Unlike chain stores, there is no unified management and franchise stores are uneven. Over time, people's impression of franchise stores has gradually stopped at "no".
The "no" here is not completely unpalatable, but quite different from the original. However, the development of franchise stores is not black and white, and the huge number of small noodles in Chongqing has also helped Chongqing's economy.
As long as the taste is passable, there is no shortage of Chongqing noodles, but those are always talked about by people.
