There are many types of skewers, and the common ones are skewers of incense, cold pot skewers, fried skewers, and bowl chicken. Among them, the string of incense, also known as hot pot skewers, originated from Sichuan and Chongqing, and the ingredients are boiled in bamboo skewers before eating, and the taste of the soup base is similar to that of hot pot. Most of the Chuanchuan incense in Wuhan are brand franchise stores in Sichuan and Chongqing, and there are also some local Chuanchuan incense shops, the former are mostly blended according to the taste of Sichuan and Chongqing, while the local Chuanchuan incense is more combined with local tastes.
The position of Xiaojun Liver in the fifth district of the steel pipe factory (hereinafter referred to as the fifth district of steel) in the skewer world is like Xiaolongkan in the hot pot industry, Xiaolongkan is the biggest contributor to the popularity of Sichuan and Chongqing hot pot all over the country in recent years, and the small county liver of the fifth district of steel has also led Chengdu Chuanchuan incense to sweep the country. Since the Fame of Xiaojun Liver in the Fifth District of Steel, not only have many skewer restaurants and hot pot restaurants added the dish of Xiaojun liver, but also countless skewer incense shops with the names of "Steel Pipe Factory", "Xiaojun Liver" and "Steel Fifth District" have appeared on the street for a while.
Diners who want to find authenticity in this area need to pay attention to the full name of the restaurant and the trademark logo. The full name of "Xiaojun Liver String Incense in the Fifth District of the Steel Pipe Factory" has a lot of words, and the signboard has the words "Sister Gu was founded in 1987" next to it, as well as the head of the steelmaker with the trademark of the steelworker. If the string of incense shops lacks any of the above elements, whether it is adding words, subtracting words or replacing the trademark image, not to mention the taste, there is a suspicion of playing a copycat.
As the name suggests, the liver of the small county is the treasure of the town store in the fifth district of steel. The county liver is the gizzard of poultry, and the small county liver in the fifth district of steel is made of fresh chicken gizzards, which are changed to small pieces and marinated with a variety of seasonings to remove the fishy smell of internal organs. A bamboo skewer is a small county liver, put it in a pot and boil for two or three minutes, roll it in a dry dish from the starting stick, dip it in the seasoning of chili powder and soybean flour and eat it. The texture of Kogun's liver is crisp, and you can hear a clear crunch sound when you bite it with your teeth, and the tight texture is very addictive. There are nearly 100 kinds of dishes in the fifth district, and the crisper cabinet of each store occupies a wall, and the interior is full of all kinds of ingredients. Some dishes that are inconvenient to use bamboo skewers are served on a dinner plate, such as duck intestines, duck blood, and 9-second hairy tripe.
The soup base in the fifth area of steel is transported from Chengdu, so the taste of the soup base in Wuhan is basically the same as that of Chengdu. Its red soup pot is based on butter, which is divided into standard pot and large pot according to the amount of butter, and it is recommended to order the large pot when the number of people ordering more than 4 people, and the soup taste can be more stable in the later stage. Although there has been a joking saying in Sichuan and Chongqing that "not eating mandarin duck pot is the biggest bottom line", if you talk about which pot bottom is more suitable for blanching vegetables, I am afraid that the red pot will give way to the white soup pot. The white soup pot in the fifth area of the steel is boiled with pork bones, chicken, duck and other ingredients, and the soup is delicious, which can not only reduce the greasy feeling of the red pot, but also can be drunk directly as a soup.
In addition to the basic garlic, coriander and chopped green onions, the store also serves sesame seeds, peanuts, spicy sauce and oyster sauce, which is the authentic way to eat in Chengdu. The sesame oil of the dipping sauce is individually packaged, marked with the trademark of the fifth area of steel, and is a disposable edible sesame oil, and the oil is fresh. Diners who love offal dishes such as county liver, fat sausage, and kidney slices may wish to order another dry dish, which is spicy and prominent, and the taste is more domineering.
The taste, service and environment of several branches are basically the same. The decoration style of the store is personalized and fashionable, combining the industrial style of the 80s with comics, using brightly colored steel plates as partitions, and the walls are printed with Sichuan witticisms such as "Ba Shide board", "comfortable very", "never white, you know when you are hot", etc., which are vivid and warm.
