Strictly speaking, Nanhua Commercial Street is not considered a university-standard backstreet, after all, there is still a little distance. But it is better than a back street, where all kinds of small shops and old tastes are like graffiti in the streets. The shops I’ve eaten at can’t be figured out even if I try carefully. Many memories are as messy as graffiti, but the collection of these memories is not abrupt and inexplicably harmonious like graffiti. Generally speaking, this place is for the memory of youth. Added an indelible sum.

During the day, if you go deep into it, it is no different from most of the streets you walk through. The people who are slow are the nearby residents, and the people who are in a hurry are the students nearby. Only at night, when the night is dark and the incandescent lights are on, regardless of old residents or new diners, everyone walks into the food stalls of barbecue restaurants. Whether you eat kebabs or crayfish, the city begins to come alive at this time.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the grill is sprinkled with the first handful of cumin. I can't forget to grab the crayfish, and the bald-headed "bearded master" in front of him looks like his uncle flipping the mutton skewers in his hand. This scene is very similar to the scene in "A String of Life".

The aroma released by every turn of the mutton skewers on the stove even makes people return to the trance feeling of eating mutton skewers on the roadside many years ago. "A string of one yuan, authentic Yanchitan lamb, iron stick lamb, the real taste of childhood" After eating the lamb skewers grilled by the bearded master, I almost used these simple but sincere phrases to replace this Mutton kebabs thought out the copywriting in advance!

What's interesting is that the bearded master doesn't have a beard. We joked: he doesn't even have hair. He laughed and simply took off his hat when he heard it. Compared with many barbecue masters we have come into contact with who "have some personalities and are not easy to get in touch with", the bearded master is very easy-going and friendly.

The bearded master is almost synonymous with memories. In the old Huaiyuan, he specializes in kebabs, which is already the source of the taste in many people's memories. I can't forget that Crayfish hired a national treasure-level griller from Huaiyuan Market, Mr. Big Beard, to grill lamb kebabs himself, so that diners can recall the taste of their childhood. In addition to this good craftsmanship, good taste naturally requires good mutton. All mutton is selected from Tan sheep. Township --- Ningxia Yanchi, the original flavor, the purpose is to restore the most delicious food in memory!

At the end of 1993, the bearded master began to have an inseparable relationship with kebabs for so many years. As for why he did this, his answer was really unpretentious:

At that time, the wages were low, and you could set up a stall on the side of the road and start a side business. Unexpectedly, this iron stick not only strung up lamb skewers, but also many people's memories of old Huaiyuan and youth.

Today, this taste is still here. Nanhua Commercial Street, Wencui Road, the alley opposite to the east road of KFC New Bai Ningyang store. Walking in along the alley, it feels more like walking into a retirement community, No. 308 Commercial Street, and you can't forget to grab crayfish.

Here you can have this classic old taste. The mutton is fragrant in the mouth. It really feels like eating skewers when I was a child. It lies in the good craftsmanship of the bearded master and the quality of Yanchi Tan sheep!

And the price seems to have stagnated in the memory of youth, a string of one yuan. Even the beef skewers in the store are one yuan, but there is a limit of 1,000 skewers per day, so hurry up if you want to eat!

The iron-signed mutton skewers are just one of the delicacies here, just like the store is called hand-caught crayfish. In fact, in the past and this summer, the old diners naturally want to order a few crayfish from the store when they come to sit down.

Now, in addition to crayfish, there are bamboo cage seafood that are popular in other places, especially the bamboo cage oysters we tasted this time. The high-end way of eating seafood is naturally steaming, and the requirements for ingredients are naturally needless to say. The master chef in the store cooks this dish in Hangzhou, Zhejiang.

Every day, we select premium oysters from Rushan, Shandong, the hometown of oysters. The big and fat fresh oysters are steamed quickly in the store. It also smells like bamboo cages.

Just pick up one and break it open, it is fresh visible to the naked eye. You can directly suck it into your mouth without sticking anything, and the sweetness will melt in your mouth! As for these rich oyster meat, the correct way to eat them is of course not to forget to dip them in the garlic balsamic vinegar sauce, fresh and sweet oysters, Hang a few millet peppers, and eat a little hotter and fresher in your mouth!

In addition to this, I also strongly recommend the fish sauce seafood in the store. This small seafood can be said to be the most filling one I have eaten locally. The tall cup is solidly filled with various seafood, including rattan pepper. There are two flavors of red oil and spicy.

There are abalone, conch, crayfish, prawns, various shellfish and small seafood, etc. There are surprises with every chopstick. This school season, before the summer is over, hurry up and make an appointment?
