Is Qufang Wu worth a visit? Is Qufang Wu interesting?

No matter where I go, I always like to follow an alley, eat local snacks like a local, walk the local path and listen to the local dialect. I think this is the real local customs.

Is Suzhou Qufang Wu worth visiting? How was Qufang Wu? On the first day I came to Suzhou, I inquired about Qufang Wu, a local favorite market, and then took a taxi. I got up early, but the typhoon a few days ago still brought some coolness. The sun is like a mist, looming.

Qufang Wu is a street in the west of Suzhou, located in Nagato, Suzhou. Originally one of the ancient workshops in Suzhou, it was named after the ancient Wu people's song "Wu Ququ".

As soon as I entered, I saw a store in Zhenxingge, which seemed to be mainly noodles. I was born without noodles, so I didn't go in. Looking into the street, the road is narrow, but it is still bustling.

Shops here are generally small, with street stalls. Many shops can't be found without looking carefully. I saw a Jialehui wonton, and I heard it was the best in this street. I can't wait to go in and order a bowl of special bubble wonton and glutinous rice balls.

The so-called bubble wonton is a thin wonton. And it is floating in the middle, bulging, glittering and translucent and lovely, hence the name bubble wonton. Take a bite, the skin is smooth and tender, and the juice is overflowing, which is very satisfying. Let's start with the bottom of this pot, which is cooked by big bones. Finally sprinkle a handful of garlic leaves and pour a spoonful of special lard. The taste is fresh and makes people tremble.

Another feature of their family is jiaozi, which is very big. It is said that jiaozi is freshly squeezed, and the skin kneaded by water mill is particularly delicate and soft. The stuffing is also made by the proprietress herself, with three flavors: fresh meat, bean paste and sesame. There is soup in the meat stuffing of fresh meat. Take a bite, the juice is full, and there is a sweetness in the umami flavor.

Two steps forward, I saw a baked wheat cake. I heard that Suzhou people can't have breakfast without sesame seeds cake. Looking at the queue in front of the sesame cake shop, I think that sentence should be true. I asked for a sweet sesame seed cake, which tastes crisp and dregs. When I eat it, I will taste sweet syrup, hot syrup mixed with crispy sesame cakes.

People are very happy.

Further on, I came to a bridge and saw a couple's booth crowded with people. I went over to have a look. That's an omelet. Men roll noodles, women spread cakes, and men and women match. Work is not tiring. Spread the batter evenly, knock an egg, and then ask if you want onions or leeks. I choose leeks and sprinkle a handful of leeks on the cake that is about to be fried. When it's ready, brush it with sauce and wrap it in a hot dog or tenderloin. This is a finished product.

I walked into an old shop at noon and ordered a soup bag. There are two kinds of soup buns in Suzhou, one is called crumpled yarn buns, and the other is called steamed buns. I have to say that the dumplings in Suzhou are really delicious, with thin skin and thick meat and delicious gravy. Take a sip and the soup will overflow.

I accidentally saw something called a living bead and didn't think much. Curious, I bought one and thought it was a raw egg dipped in cumin. Unexpectedly, when I opened the egg, I found that it was an unformed chicken, and my stomach turned straight up.

Live beads are live chicken embryos hatched and developed by traditional techniques. Because their developing blastocysts are shaped like moving pearls in perspective, they are named live pearls.

A day's drive passed, and then I tasted some local characteristics of other places one after another. Glutinous rice is filled with sesame oil sticks and syrup. With a gentle bite, sesame flavor mixed with the crispness of fried dough sticks and the sweetness of syrup spread in my mouth instantly, and the tip of the tongue was a feast.

Pot stickers are also common food in Suzhou. They are shaped like fried dumplings. They are big, neither oily nor greasy, with thin skin and many ingredients. There is a little cooking oil outside and layers of shallots. The juice inside the skin is fresh, and the juice inside is sweet and refreshing.

There are countless delicious foods in Suzhou, so I just tasted them. If you come to Suzhou, I hope you can take a walk in this alley and taste the authentic Suzhou flavor.
