Huo Yuanjia Barbecue is a well-known barbecue stall in the original Xuzhou New Village area, which has been open for more than 35 years. In 2017, affected by the demolition of municipal projects, Huo Yuanjia Barbecue moved to a single-family house in Liucun Village, Changhu Avenue, Jiefang Avenue, close to the construction site, and the location was relatively remote. The whole store is supported by the owner's mother-in-law, and the cooking is carried out on the charcoal stove at the entrance of the store, and the dining area is appropriated from the courtyard of the house and the interior layout on the first floor, and traces of life can be seen everywhere.

The main dish of the shop is mutton, serving dishes from all parts of the lamb body, and the flavor adheres to the Wuhan heavy flavor style, and the grilled material is quite thick. Sheep eggs and oily waist are the proud works here: sheep eggs are sheep testicles, the body is white and plump, each piece is evenly thick and thick, and it is changed to a string of knife flowers, the taste is soft and glutinous, and the smell is weak. The oily loin is the lamb kidney wrapped in oil, which is cut in half and roasted quickly, and the entrance retains a strong oil fragrance, fresh and refreshing. Scones are a must-have in the shop, and are a common staple food in old Wuhan barbecue, where the round dough is baked until browned on both sides, sprinkled with large green onions and baked ingredients, and the bite is extremely crispy, fresh and spicy.

The owner's mother-in-law has a straightforward personality, prefers regular customers, and does everything herself. In the face of "spitting" (spitting), diners who are "wobaba" (squatting on the ground) are quite disgusted and may refuse to be welcomed, while some of the hot-selling ingredients will be reserved for regular customers first, and unfamiliar faces will be served in limited quantities. After the shop closes late at night, my mother-in-law goes to the market to buy ingredients, and then goes through the processes of cutting meat and skewering to prepare for the business in the coming day, and so on for decades.

The shop environment is casual and simple, the ingredients are placed everywhere in the house, and the furniture such as beds and cabinets are in line with the sight, and the dining area has only a few simple tables and chairs. The mother-in-law is responsible for ordering and serving, and the affairs are handled efficiently and quickly, so there is no need to worry about it after taking a seat. It is worth mentioning that there is no menu in the store, so please pay attention to ask about the availability and price of the dishes of the day when ordering to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
