From early morning to night, Wuhan has its own magic

Text/Xiao Fei Xia

One early morning in Wuhan, while walking along the Yangtze River, I met a group of middle-aged and elderly swimming teams. The captain was an uncle, shirtless and with his scalp shaved off. He chatted for a while and invited us to swim for a while. He was so enthusiastic that he listed several famous restaurants, "You all went to eat mao?"

There was a breeze by the river, and the air was humid and hot. I think of Wuhan written by Chi Li: "The rivers and lakes are unorganized, willful, chivalrous, hot-tempered, and military-minded. There are thousands of people from all over the world, and everyone has their own preferences. It is indeed a good place to write novels."

Wuhan is also a place where eight meals a day are delicious.

Yan Lao Yao Shao Mai

"Lao Yao" means the youngest child in the family in Wuhan dialect. On the way to Yan Lao Yao's house, the driver told me that their family is engaged in catering, and any brother's house they go to will always taste good!

I made preparations a day in advance and arrived at the door of the youngest Yan at around 7:30 in the morning. There were about seventy or eighty people lined up outside the store. It was midsummer and the temperature was not very high in the early morning. Everyone was waiting in line patiently.

The long queue is actually for the tofu skin, because the tofu skin has to be cooked pot by pot, which takes some time. The two young men were busy filling the egg pancakes with rice and spreading the ingredients. After each pot was made, they served it to the guests with a spatula and distributed it in two minutes.

The siomai is white and soft, and is packed in a huge steamer. The shopkeeper holds an empty plate with one hand and grabs the siomai on the plate with the other. Many people brought Shaomai and placed it directly on the plastic square stools on the side of the road. The aunt at the cashier saw it and shouted: "You won't be seated, you won't be seated! The city management will come and check!"

Hot dry noodles are poured with black sesame sauce, minced meat and mustard are sprinkled on top, and served in a paper bowl. Eggnog and osmanthus rice wine paste are indispensable to pair with hot dry noodles. I spent the morning sitting in a steamer-like room, sweating profusely.

Swallow Soup Restaurant

The restaurant recommended by Baek Jong-won in "Street Food Fighter". When I arrived at the store at noon, there were not many customers. The boss leaned back in his chair and was distracted.

The first recommendation is the lotus root and pork ribs soup, served with a bowl of rice and a few dried radish. The lotus root soup is delicious, covered with a layer of oil, and garnished with black pepper and chopped green onion to enhance the flavor; the lotus root is soft and glutinous, and when you take a bite, it pulls out silk, and the fragrance fills your nose.

An uncle at the next table bought a bottle of tartary buckwheat wine and paired it with lotus root and pork ribs soup and rice. He ate slowly, unhurriedly and deliciously.

When I walked out of the door, I saw several pots of soup on the stove that looked like clay pots. They had been burnt black after years of baptism.

Adeyu Bay

A small restaurant located in an old community. At noon, the room was full of people.

The environment is friendly to the people, and the space is quite cramped. There is only a walking path between the tables, and the aroma of cooking wafts through the whole room.

The kitchen was bustling, with cheerful conversations and laughter from the waiters and chefs coming from time to time. It's a small shop. Even if there are many people, the food is served quickly. The few dishes are simple and delicious.

The first dish was the fragrant fish in the iron pot. The fish pieces are battered and cooked slowly in the pot. The skin is crispy, the meat is tender, and the juice is rich.

The fried squid kidneys are cooked to perfection and are crispy, tender and chewy.

The chicken with crispy bones is also delicious, so crispy that it goes well with both wine and rice.

Stir-fried shredded lotus root is Ade’s must-order dish. He glanced at it and saw that this dish was on the next table.

The shredded lotus root is stir-fried until it is crispy and spicy, and after chewing a few times, you can taste the freshness and sweetness of the lotus root itself.

Xianyun·Yehe

Going to Xianyun Yehe is for the name of Black Pearl. Chatting with the store clerk, I found out that this local restaurant group has many famous restaurants, so the food would certainly not be bad.

Xianyun·Yehe specializes in Cantonese fusion cuisine. The two of us ordered a set meal and ate the whole meal. I didn’t think there was anything particularly surprising about it, it was pretty average.

Bozi-flavored asparagus and Shawan baked fish head are dishes with similar tastes;

Yuanbei mustard heart is a bit off-putting, the mustard heart is bitter, and the taste is not good;

Wenchang chicken and oysters are stewed together in a casserole. The chicken and oysters are simmered by the heat until they are tender and juicy. It is the best in this dish.

A large pot of preserved claypot rice was filled to the brim. It tasted good, but it lacked some steam and was not that fragrant.

Wu Changzi Braised Vegetable Restaurant

After drinking a few cups of coffee in the afternoon, as the sun set in the evening, I walked to an intersection and saw Wu Changzi Braised Vegetable Restaurant.

Various braised foods are placed in a large basin. Duck heads, chicken feet, sausages, dried fragrant spices, pig tails, and pig ears are piled together. They turn brown under the sunlight and are very attractive.

The ingredients are so well braised and the store’s own seasonings are added that you can’t wait to pinch a piece with your hands to try it.

Xiaomin Food Stall

After Wu Changzi cut a stewed vegetable and took it away, he went straight to Xiaomin Food Stall.

"Reward the late-night stomach of Wuhan people" is written on the wall, and the room is full of guests and bustling. Everyone ordered beer barbecue stir-fry and enjoyed the deliciousness of summer night.

The shredded dried beans are simply the standard for casual drinking; the sizzling shrimp sliders are tender and smooth; the spicy frog is numb, spicy, and fresh all in one, making you sweat profusely after eating; the stir-fried lotus root clips are still the same It's an authentic Chinese flavor; you can't go wrong with just a few skewers of meat tendon skewers for barbecue.

The name of Xiaomin Food Stall sounds friendly enough. There are several chains of this local restaurant, so queuing up during meal times is a common occurrence. In addition to tourists who come to check in and try new things, many locals come for a bowl of cold noodles, a handful of grilled skewers, or a few delicious dishes to go with wine, and the two of them shared a large bottle of Baiyunbian.

Liang Liang Steamed Shrimp

Liang Liang is as famous as Xiao Min, famous for its crayfish and queue.

Drinking coffee near Wansongyuan, the boss said that if you want to eat delicious food, remember to line up early. According to her recommendation, there is one not far away. I haven’t arrived at the restaurant yet, so I don’t have to queue. It’s nice.

The braised prawns are very tasty, and the signature steamed prawns are of good quality. Peel the prawns and dip them in some sauce to taste the plumpness and sweetness of the prawns.

Unnamed BBQ

Unnamed BBQ reminds people of masters in martial arts novels, hiding from the world and hiding their fame.

The barbecue restaurant is located in an alley outside a community. Although the store is difficult to find, it is crowded with diners after the sun goes down. The business is so good that everyone has a blank piece of paper to order by themselves, and after writing it down Leave it to the boss and wait slowly.

The boss and his wife can be called "arrogant". They don't say much, they just keep telling everyone not to worry, grill the skewers one by one, and eat the meat one bite at a time.

There are not many types of dishes, but a few special dishes can easily satisfy the stomach of foodies. Barbecued meat and pork ribs are a must-try, and you might not be able to eat them if you come late; chicken feet are especially delicious, becoming softer and glutinous after being cooked, and full of spiciness; ham sausages are grilled like the smell of a store in front of the school, which evokes people's emotions. memory.

Late at night, the boss and his wife were still busy. The oil sparkles and the condiments burn in the air.
