When it comes to supper life, Changsha is hardly inferior to any city in China. Flavors such as shrimp, stinky tofu, snails, Changsha rice noodles, grilled skewers, etc. There are many genres in Changsha alone, and the provincial capital is inclusive. Interestingly, barbecue was a rarity in Changsha in the 80s of the last century. With the rapid development of the economy, Xinjiang barbecue, Northeast barbecue, Yueyang barbecue, Mongolian barbecue, etc. have settled in, and Changsha's local barbecue has been "leading the way for hundreds of years", and they have also learned from each other in the competition. Although the market is now blooming, Mongolian barbecue and Xinjiang barbecue have long been in decline. Even the huge Yueyang barbecue is declining, and the cost performance and taste are much inferior to those in Yueyang. In recent years, it is not the local barbecue in Changsha that has become popular with diners, but the barbecue in Xiangxi. The local saying of "barbecue" has gradually been replaced by foreign "skewers".

The barbecue boom in Xiangxi can sweep Changsha, largely thanks to Mengzhong barbecue. A number of popular entertainment stars have visited one after another, and Mengzhong barbecue has become the well-deserved number one popular barbecue in Changsha, with long queues every day. But when it comes to taste performance, Mengzhong barbecue is not the best in Changsha, such as Qiaosun Erniang Xiangxi barbecue wins. This barbecue restaurant located on Jianxiang Road, a "remote" place for supper, has expanded from a 30-square-meter shop to a video game city next door to Panxia in just one year, and has set up two more branches, and its stable food performance has contributed to its stable food performance.

The old store (head office) underwent a small renovation in the second half of 2018, and although the environment is simple, it is better to be clean and tidy. The distance between the tables and chairs is spacious, sweeping away the impression that traditional barbecue restaurants "can't turn around". The restaurant has a menu, but diners need to go to the large freezer to order the dishes by themselves, and then go to the front desk to pay the bill. The ingredients cover a variety of meat and vegetables, all of which are neatly sorted and bundled. The number of lots varies with different varieties, but the price is generally 10~15 yuan/hand (measure words, generally one hand = five skewers, but different expressions in various places, Xiangxi skewers are generally one hand = fifteen skewers). In winter, when the temperature of the skewers can be delayed, the restaurant also provides a charcoal stove that keeps the skewers warm, so that the taste lasts for a long time.

The biggest feature of Xiangxi barbecue is that it is small and exquisite, with only a little bit of small meat on each skewer, which makes people still unsatisfied after eating a skewer, and arouses the appetite of feasting. Butter is the most classic representative of Xiangxi barbecue, and the size of the small size shows the barbecue skills. Therefore, there is also such a sentence among the folk to evaluate Xiangxi barbecue: "Whether the barbecue is good or not, the butter will be clear." Most of the ingredients of Qiao Sun Erniang are transported from Xiangxi, such as butter and bezoar throat, etc., which are taken from the cattle raised in the deep mountains of Xiangxi, just to follow the original taste of Xiangxi. The restaurant cuts the butter to a size that you can easily bite into in a small bite – don't worry about being too big to taste and small enough to burn. The plump butter has a faint layer of crunch on it, and when you bite into it, it has a smooth texture. The mellow milky aroma slowly unfolds when chewing, and the fragrance overflows the teeth. Another Xiangxi barbecue boutique bezoar throat is crispy and chewy, spicy but not too dry. In addition to Xiangxi barbecue, Xiangxi cured meat has also been famous for a long time. Many people may have only heard of Xiangxi smoked bacon, but they have missed the Xiangxi smoked sausage, which is also cured. Qiao Sun Erniang has a unique idea to combine Xiangxi barbecue and sausages. After the sausages are opened, they are fried in oil and then roasted over charcoal fire. This kind of sausage is twice as thick as ordinary sausages, in which there is more lean and less fat, and the taste is firm and full. In the thick smoke, the sausage still exudes a mixture of Sichuan pepper and white pepper, which is very attractive.

Generally speaking, the vegetarian food of the same barbecue restaurant should be on par with meat food, but the performance of Qiao Sun Erniang was somewhat unexpected. Compared with the high standard of meat food, the vegetarian dishes in the store can almost be labeled as a "minefield". The chef will fry the vegetarian dishes first and then grill them over charcoal. For example, the dried potatoes have been fried to the point of dryness, and the greasy problem is prominent after roasting, giving people the illusion of chewing oil residue. The classic minced garlic eggplant is also off par. When you pick up the eggplant meat with both chopsticks, you can feel the greasy burden. The mouth is filled with a strong red oil smell, and the other seasonings have no chance to express themselves. The proprietress said that the restaurant followed the practice of Xiangxi people who like heavy oil, and did not improve the taste. Therefore, if the reader is not a lover of the heavy oil genre, it is not recommended to click on it.

In addition to barbecue, Qiao Sun Erniang also serves a large number of Xiangxi specialties, and the production level is comparable to meat barbecue. For example, the chilled glutinous rice sweet wine recommended by the proprietress is a barrel of handmade sweet wine transported from Xiangxi, known as "the delicacy that the proprietress drank from childhood to adulthood". The wine has a sweet and mellow taste; Among them, the pearl glutinous rice is full and white, and the taste is soft and smooth, which can be called the anti-greasy artifact in barbecue. In addition, sausage mixed noodles and Xiangxi mixed rice tofu are also delicious foods worth trying.

As a barbecue restaurant, Qiao Sun Erniang has a clean environment, a spacious location, a wide range of barbecue dishes, and a large number of Xiangxi special snacks. The per capita is generally about 80 yuan, which is delicious and not expensive.
