Zhang Ji shabu, located at the front gate, is a favorite of many old Beijingers. The store is not large, and it has the atmosphere of a food stall. But the boss Zhang Xueming, as an authentic Beijing veteran, successfully made Zhang Ji Shabu a classic in the hearts of Beijing neighbors. "Don't dip this small ingredient in the first bite, just eat it with a white mouth, and taste the sweetness of this cucumber strip...... That's right, this is the old Beijing flavor of shabu-shabu restaurant pie, the boss is simply the standard consultant of every table, and every move of the diners is in his eyes. For each table of guests, the boss will personally explain the characteristics of his mutton, the way of shabu-shabu, the taste and so on. These are a unique treat for new diners of shabu-shabu. As an authentic veteran, the boss has many rules of his own. For example, for mutton, the boss Zhang Xueming only chooses the lamb of the blue flag of Ximeng, and appears in the market at 5 o'clock every day to choose the part he is satisfied with. According to the boss, these sheep grew up drinking the water of the Yellow River and eating shallots, and basically have no mutton smell, but have a tender and three-dimensional mutton flavor. Although the boss himself admits that this is not as good as Ningxia Tan sheep, the quality is still excellent. The bottom of the pot is the cheapest pot base in the store, but it is the most respected by the owner, just to recommend the original way to eat the mutton to diners. "Shabu-shabu should only come from the hind legs" is his paranoid mutton, and as a result, the common goat-shabu list of other families has disappeared from his list of shabu-shabu. The most admired thing in the store is the rarest cucumber strips. Strange to say, not everyone can order this, one reason is that the goods are gone, and the other is that the owner wants to leave it for diners who know how to make pork. "If you waste it, you are committing a crime against others" vividly portrays Lao Pao'er's stubbornness. Cucumber strips have obvious advantages over ordinary mutton without dipping sauce, and the mutton aroma fills the entire mouth, chewing carefully, and there is a faint milky fragrance surrounding. There are also lamb tendons and sheep grinding crotch in the store, which are the main recommendations. Lamb tendon is a regular muscle on the hind leg of the lamb, wrapped in a meat membrane, a little tendon shuttle between it, the entrance is chewy, and there is a trace of sweetness after chewing for a period of time. The sheep mill is close to the buttocks of cucumber strips, and the texture is soft, and because it is also close to the tail of the sheep, there is generally a possibility of smell. Zhang Ji's sheep mill stall is fresh and tender enough, the taste is smooth and dynamic, and the umami is full. Located at the front door, Cheung Kee Shabu is frequented by a constant stream of glossy tourists, which contrasts sharply with the store's décor. A small hut with only a few tables, the walls are covered with photos of celebrities and bosses, and diners need to go to the public toilet next door if they want to go to the toilet. Users who are accustomed to high-end experiences may be tempted to retreat when they see this. All in all, for diners looking to experience the authentic food culture of Beijing's Lao Pao'er, Zhang Ji Shabu is worth a visit.
