The two keywords of "steel pipe factory" and "Xiaojun liver" have become the symbols of Chengdu string of incense, and the string of incense in Xi'an is swept by these two words, and the eyes are full of "steel pipe factory" and "small county liver". But the strings of incense that really come from the steel pipe factory are only the liver strings of the five districts of the steel pipe factory (referred to as the five districts of the steel pipe). The fifth district of the steel pipe factory is also the first to register the small county liver trademark of the steel pipe factory in Chengdu.
If you want to find authenticity in many steel pipe factories and small counties, you need to pay attention to the full name of the store name and the trademark logo. The words "Liver String Incense in Xiaojun in District 5 of the Steel Pipe Factory" are indispensable, and the signboard has the words "Sister Gu was founded in 1987" next to it, as well as the head of the steelworker with the trademark of the steelworker. If the string incense shop lacks 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 the side ball.
Different from the traditional beef-based, the small county liver in the fifth district of steel is the treasure of the town. The county liver is the gizzard of poultry, and the county liver of the string of incense is mostly chicken county liver or pigeon county liver, the county liver is cut into small pieces, marinated in seasonings, and dipped in the dipping sauce of chili powder and soybean flour after cooking, which is spicy and crispy. It is also the beginning of the fifth district of Zhigang, and the small county liver began to be popular in the string of incense. In addition to Xiaojun's liver, fat intestine knots, duck blood, and 9-second hairy belly are all must-order dishes in the fifth district of steel. The duck blood in the fifth steel area follows the way of the head office, using fresh duck blood, which is served in a bowl, which is more tender and smoother than the quick-frozen duck blood, and melts in the mouth. The hairy belly was originally commonly used in hot pot, and now it has become a common dish in the string of incense. The hairy belly originates from the stomach of the cow, and there are four sub-stomachs: rumen, net stomach, valve stomach and wrinkled stomach, of which the hairy belly originates from the rumen, and it only takes 9 seconds to boil after slicing, and the taste is crisp and elastic.
The bottom of the pot in the fifth district of steel is not as prominent as the side of the road, but it also maintains the standard of the main store in terms of taste. The red pots in the fifth area of steel are all based on butter, which is more spicy and rich than the bottom of the clear oil pot, which is suitable for boiling meat and offal ingredients such as liver and beef. However, if you cook vegetables directly, it is easy to get greasy after eating for a long time, so it is recommended to order the mandarin duck pot to cook vegetables. The bottom of the pot is suitable for vegetable dishes, which is not easy to absorb oil, and can also reduce the greasy feeling of spicy taste for a long time, and can also be drunk as a soup.
Eating skewers in Gangwu District requires a self-service dipping plate, with sesame seeds, peanuts, minced garlic, hot sauce, oyster sauce, chopped green onions, coriander, etc., customers can choose according to their preferences. 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 to ensure the freshness of the oil.
There are many franchised branches in Xi'an, and the bottom of the pot and the production method are all prepared in accordance with the head office. However, the franchisees of the Xi'an store are not unified, which leads to slight differences in service, configuration and business hours, and there is no unified numbering method. For example, the Gangwu District 5 located in Hanguang Gate is open 24 hours a day, even late at night, you can have a skewer, the store is neat and clean, and there are private rooms, but so far you can only make a reservation by phone, and you must arrange for a meal on the spot during peak hours, which is a little troublesome compared to the side of the road.
