In 1992, the Zhang siblings began to set up a stall in Jiefangbei to operate Copyshou and Lo Mei, and today, the stall has developed into a medium-sized catering enterprise with several directly operated stores in Chongqing. Each Zhangshou insists on the habit of opening 24 hours a day, which makes it a late-night canteen for many night owls.
Zhang Zhaoshou's menu is rich in categories, such as copying hands, rice noodles, noodles, braised vegetables, etc., giving diners a lot of choices, just copying hands has four flavors: barrel bone red oil, tube bone clear soup, chicken soup, and crossing the bridge. One of the highlights of the store is the chicken soup, which is golden and translucent, thin and transparent skin, and has a large and plump meat filling, exuding a light fragrance. Take a sip of the soup base, you will know its uniqueness, the soup is fragrant and not greasy, the chicken soup has a rich taste, and you can't detect the existence of industrial seasonings such as monosodium glutamate and chicken essence. Wrapped in soup, the mouth is fresh and smooth, the light skin melts in the mouth, and the meat filling is delicate and chewy. The minced ginger in the meat filling neutralizes the fishy taste of the meat, which is mixed with the umami of the soup and the meat filling. This bowl is sufficient, even a normal amount of diners will have a strong feeling of satiety after two or two stomachs, so there is generally no need to increase the amount. The lo-mei in the store is a must-order for regular customers, the dried tofu is soft and glutinous and sweet, and the pig's tail is crispy and chewy, which is very good to accompany your hands or wine.
Zhang Zhaoshou's stores are much more luxurious than their peers in the industry, especially the flagship store on Yanghe East Road. The décor of this store is spacious and bright, and the floor-to-ceiling glass windows make it look very atmospheric. The white light box door is highly recognizable at night. The tables, chairs and benches in the store are all made of wood, which is clean and tidy.
As a medium-sized chain copying brand, Zhang's service is remarkable. The waiters in the store are sufficient, and the actions of serving food and wiping the table are quick.
