Gansu Mala Tang, initiated a request for continuous wheat

Original greedy YOU Chengdu

To say that the recent hot bite is delicious, Gansu Mala Tang is one.

On social platforms, many people share their experiences of going to Gansu to eat mala Tang. There are also people who deliberately go to Gansu to study and make mala Tang and prepare to open a Mala Tang shop in Chengdu. Just a short sentence of "returning from school and preparing for the store" has gained a lot of attention and expectation.

After a dish is cooked, it is filled with chili pepper red oil. Special local pepper, like free. Gansu mala Tang, which is strange to say, makes people wonder for no reason: what is this smell?

No, Xiao Du turned into a taster and found a shop in Chengdu to have a taste first.

● ● ●

Zhaolinji Northwest Mala Tang is located in Jiaochangba Middle Street.

For the first time, in order to avoid the crowd, I deliberately arrived at 1 pm, but I still underestimated the heat.

The shop was full of people inside and outside, and the boss told him to wait for more than an hour, so he abandoned it and turned to eat a stir-fry across the street.

The next afternoon, I went again after an hour’s waiting, and I had to have a taste.

The door of the store is the vegetable picking area, and the innermost is the kitchen. Only four or five small tables are placed in the store, and four or five tables are temporarily placed outside. According to the boss, there are only two chefs in the shop, so they are really busy. They have to wait for about 40 minutes at almost any time, especially at lunch, and it starts an hour.

Eating here is like playing a game of breaking the barrier. In the crowded corridor of "make way, pass", it is difficult to get food, queue and so on, and this first level is considered to have passed.

After paying, getting the number plate, leaving the phone number, and roughly calculating the waiting time, the boss said to the waiting diners that "you can go around nearby first" has become a fixed process.

I interrupted and went to this mala Tang restaurant twice. Although the waiting time is really too long, I can feel the temperament of the small shop run by the northwest people is still different. The whole is a chaotic and orderly atmosphere. In the face of customers urging inquiries, or waiters busy making mistakes, the boss has no impatience for a moment, and his tone is gentle at any time, very atmospheric and easy to communicate. It is very harmonious for everyone to cooperate with the operation. It is very calm to solve the problem when a problem comes.

Customers who bring puppies to eat mala Tang.

Just look around. It’s not boring compared to a dam. This "street restaurant for workers on Hongxing Road" has many Sichuan restaurants, noodle restaurants and snacks along the street. If you don’t want to wait in line, you can choose many alternatives.

We, who are determined to eat mala Tang, choose to sit in a nearby coffee shop and take out the computer to write the above contents first.

We left at 1:23, and the boss called at 15:00. We walked from the coffee shop and waited for more than ten minutes. Mala Tang finally served.

Mala Tang can choose sweet spicy, medium spicy and spicy. Sweet and spicy were sold out at noon that day, so we chose medium spicy.

Cooked vegetables are covered with black and red peppers and need to be stirred by themselves. According to the boss, this is the Gangu pepper in Tianshui, Gansu, and this is the soul of Gansu Mala Tang.

Gangu County, Gansu Province, is known as the "hometown of peppers". Gangu pepper is a specialty here, and it is also a symbol product of chinese national geography.

The boss reminded me: "Be sure to mix well, and you can add more peppers at any time when there is not enough." Mix the "soul" fully, and this dish will be colored instantly, and the eyes will be greedy first.

When you take a bite, the aroma of chili pepper overflows in your mouth, and the medium spicy is not spicy, but pure. With a variety of vegetarian dishes, it is not greasy to eat. It’s as simple and refreshing as mixing a delicious dip when cooking with water.

However, this oily child will be a little bitter in the end. Therefore, personally, mala Tang can be eaten as a whole, but the expected value is not too great.

A friend who asked not to be named has been to Gansu to eat mala Tang, and said that by contrast, she still thinks Sichuan mala Tang is delicious. "Guess it may be because of geographical reasons. There are many frozen goods in local Mala Tang in Gansu, unlike our small county liver, beef, all kinds of delicious internal organs in Sichuan, and there are not many fresh vegetables. But the lasagna and potato chips are really delicious. "

As for why Gansu Mala Tang is so hot, my friend said, "It was a gust of wind that blew to Chengdu."

In the cupboard of this shop, there are still more vegetables but less meat. However, as my friend said, his dry-mixed juice and wide powder really attracted me the most. The wide flour made of potato flour tastes very soft and glutinous, which is very special.

Look carefully at the broken section, and there is still a little crystal sense. Very well received, which is what I want to eat in the street noodle restaurant.

At three or four o’clock, there were fewer guests in the store. At last, the boss can take a short rest and start to sit by and stir mala Tang for the guests, and he wants to eat it himself. The girl at the next table added two spoonfuls of chili pepper, and she liked the taste very much.

I saw some local people comment: "Although it can’t be completely restored, it still has that taste." I took time to chat with my boss. He said that they came from Zhang Ye and opened in Chengdu a few months before Gansu Mala Tang became popular on the Internet. He didn’t expect it to be so hot himself. The present shop is too small, and a new one may be opened recently. So, if you are greedy, please be prepared to wait, and remember not to rush to the meal. The price/performance ratio of the store is good, so you can try it and eat it fresh.

Editors and photographers can do it.
