Zhuji is a well-known carbon-water kingdom in Zhejiang Province. It is affiliated with Shaoxing. The delicacies of every small county under Shaoxing can be used for solo debuts. Of course, forming a group is also good.

It is not an exaggeration to call it "Shaxian County, Zhejiang", with an absurd amount of delicious food.

Of course, when it comes to "Zhejiang Shaxian County", I guess Taizhou, Ningbo, Huzhou, and Hangzhou are definitely not convinced and want to fight. You might as well vote at the end of the article and send your favorite Zhejiang food city to debut.

The first time I saw the delicious food in Zhuji was from the Ciwu Da Noodles on the school food street. The first time I ate there, I was amazed by the texture of the noodles and the richness of the toppings. Zhuji Noodles opens next door to Yibin Noodles, which always gives people the feeling that they are secretly competing.

Later, I went to Pujiang next to Zhuji to see the orthopedics department. There was a Ciwu noodles shop in front of the hospital. I ate the waist noodles there, which I will never forget.

In addition, it also has a hidden identity: Sock City.

Just one sock industry belt can conquer the whole world. If you open the sock storage cabinet in your home, you will probably find that about 70% of the socks in it come from Zhuji.

Because of the developed sock industry, a large number of rich people were born in Zhuji. This small county town without a very loud name hides the code of wealth.

There is also a company in Zhuji that specializes in producing national flags. 60% of China's national flags are produced by this company. In addition to socks, 70% of domestic hardware tubes and 80% of pearls also come from Zhuji.

It turns out that the pipes in your home, the clothes on your feet, and the clothes on your neck may all come from Zhuji.

Of course, what I want to focus on today is the delicacies in this carbohydrate kingdom, as well as some interesting places in Zhuji. So, who are the people of the carbohydrate kingdom?

After two days of eating, I divided them into three categories:

1. Zhuji Ciwu Noodles: Zhejiang Noodle Ceiling

2. Zhuji Steamed Vegetables : After eating it, I want people to settle in Zhuji

3. Zhuji snacks: motivation to get up every day

Zhuji people said: I am used to eating noodles from my hometown and noodles from many places in the province. They all felt bored eating. The first is that the noodles are not cooked well, and the second is that the toppings are not fresh enough.

In terms of noodles, Zhuji people are quite picky, and the local Ciwu noodles can be regarded as the ceiling level in Zhejiang.

Moreover, Zhuji people eat this bowl of noodles regardless of time. They can eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There are 365 days in a year, so there are only 300 days to eat noodles

Many Children who go out to study turn into "dry noodle people" as soon as they come home.

Zhuji people’s preference for noodle making has also led to noodle shops popping up in every corner of the city. In the urban area of ??Zhuji alone, there are 1,300 noodle shops.

As the name suggests, noodles are beaten out with a metal stick. A filial son may not come out of the stick, but strong noodles will definitely come out.

Dough maker: I’ll roll it hard!

Dough: Dama!

Only when the pole is beaten back and forth on the dough can the dough have enough strength, and the dryness and humidity of the dough must be controlled well. It is not easy to make a bowl of qualified dough.

Zhuji is a well-known hometown of basketball, and the CBA arena is located in Zhuji.

The recent epidemic prevention policies are so strict, I guess many basketball players must be very greedy for a bite of noodles!

What’s even more exaggerated is that at the Zhuji venue, there was also Ciwu who beat each other to support him. I thought of the slogan for support: beat each other, beat him, beat him, da baa da ba!

This is a noodle shop that only makes fried noodles. Among Zhuji noodle shops, its reputation can be ranked among the top three. As for its strength, the signboard says: Zhuji's top ten noodle shops.

The store is located next to a small park on Jiyang Road, and it is very smoky.

I asked the boss: What do you recommend?

Boss: I don’t have any recommendations. You can choose whatever dish you like. The noodles are all the same. This casual and confident answer can't help but make people feel how wise he is.

When I arrived at the noodle shop at 10:40, it was almost 2/3 full. The time to leave the store is 11:15, and there are already many people waiting in line.

I ordered the classic three-fresh noodles. There were so many toppings, it was like a bowl of stir-fry, so the noodles had to be pulled several times before you could see them.

The toppings include pork belly, three delicacies rolls, river shrimps, mushrooms, and fresh bamboo shoots stir-fried together, which partially overlaps with the ingredients in Hangzhou three delicacies soup.

My favorite is the three fresh rolls, with minced pork wrapped in egg skin, wrapped in circles. The meat filling is neither fat nor greasy, and even tastes a little solid.

I took a look at the noodles at the next table. The toppings were very luxurious. The beef noodles had large and plentiful beef cubes, and the portion was well worth the price.

When the store is not very busy, you can see Boss Zhi making noodles. The dough needs to be pressed against hundreds of large plates of metal rods before it becomes tough enough.

Then the large noodle pieces are stacked into 3-4 layers. The boss cuts them with fluent hand speed, and then grabs a handful of noodles and shakes them in the air to keep them loose.

In short, whether you are watching the process of making noodles or eating noodles, you can enjoy it here.

Ciwu Asheng Handmade Noodles

Ciwu Asheng Handmade Noodles (Xi Shi Hometown Scenic Area Store)

: 30

It is a well-known chain noodle shop in Zhuji. A local girl said: "Although there are chain stores all over the city, the one in Xishi's hometown is the flagship store and the ceiling among chain stores."

It is located in a scenic spot with a good view, and it does not raise prices because it is a scenic spot store, but actually makes every bowl of noodles well.

Last night I read the article written by Jiu Yuan Rimi and clicked on it. Believe it or not, you will not be greedy for these 12 noodle restaurants in Hangzhou. I was really greedy after seeing the shrimp fried eel noodles, so I ordered shrimp fried eel noodles here too. This bowl of specialty is worthy of 360 praises, especially the eel, which is amazing at the first bite.

After the eel is fried to a crisp, it is softened in the soup and can be eaten with the bones. The river shrimps are small, very fresh, and the orange-red color is very attractive.

The vegetable ingredients include wild rice, pumpkin shreds, pickles, tomatoes, onions, and mushrooms, all of which are top-notch in the vegetable world.

Let’s talk about the noodles. Personally, I think Asheng noodles are more elastic than Li Zhao noodles. It can be called the rubber band in the noodles. It has a very elastic texture and a little egg flavor.

There is a floor-to-ceiling window in the store, facing a tourist street in Xishi’s hometown. It is a very authentic experience to eat local Ciwu noodles and watch the scenery of Zhuji’s most famous scenic spots. .

In addition to the popular Shrimp and Eel Noodles, the Pork Liver Noodles, Three Fresh Noodles, and Beef and River Prawn Noodles here are some of everyone’s favorite picks.

If you feel free after eating, you can also visit Xishi’s hometown to refresh your mind.

There is a rather exaggerated saying: If you come to Zhuji and can only eat one meal, then eat steamed vegetables. If you have two meals, let’s eat steamed vegetables. When I heard this, I was absolutely dissatisfied and had to fight with the steamed vegetables.

Last time I wrote about Xiaoshan: It is not a boring area where rich people gather. When I eat well and have fun here, I recommended Xiaoshan’s steamed vegetable restaurant to everyone.

Zhuji is very close to Xiaoshan, about an hour’s drive away. Xiaoshan once moved out from Shaoxing, so there must be a connection in terms of food.

Later, my little guide in Zhuji said that in addition to noodles, another gourmet ace in Zhuji is the steamed vegetable restaurant, and the number one old-fashioned steamed vegetable restaurant in her heart is this one - Yu De Shui, It’s a local’s secret little restaurant.

Yude Shui Steamed Restaurant

:70

Most of the dishes at Yude Shui are steamed in advance. Walk into the store and find a good seat. , see what delicious food is in the big steamer, and just take it.

Compared with other old steamed vegetable restaurants in Zhuji, Yudeshui's decoration is relatively exquisite, and the yellow door looks very bright beside the green avenue

It wasn't there when I went there The most popular meal, the biggest feeling it gives me is: everyone in the restaurant is working happily. The staff at the steamer ordering area asked with a smile what kind of food they wanted to eat. The lady boss at the cashier area raised her lips when she mentioned her own steamed vegetables. She felt privileged...

The moment the clerk opened the steamer, I was not hungry at all. The colorful steamed vegetables are floating in the mist, stimulating human vision, taste and smell. After taking a closer look, the food here is quite similar to the "Xiangxiang Steamed Vegetable Restaurant" I ate in Xiaoshan before.

Following the recommendation of Ms. Zhuji, I ate here: steamed three delicacies, the three delicacies rolls with egg skin are the same as those in the noodles. In addition, they also contain egg cubes, meatballs, fungus, Quail eggs, pig heart, pork rinds, and river shrimp~what a hearty bowl.

The ingredients for the meatballs and three-fresh rolls are very solid. The color of the egg skin of the three-fresh rolls is rich yellow. It can be inferred that the eggs used are better (the darker the egg yolk, the better the quality) ).

There is also a series of pickled vegetables, all of which are delicious in the store, including steamed pumpkin with pickled pickled vegetables, braised pork with pickled pickled vegetables, and steamed meatloaf with pickled pickled vegetables, all of which are salty and fragrant.

Finally, I would like to recommend the steamed tofu skin. It is paired with bacon and dried chili peppers. The soup is very delicious and the tofu skin is smooth and soft in the mouth.

Wanshou Steamed Vegetable Restaurant

Zhuji Wanshou Steamed Vegetable Restaurant

: 50

This restaurant is much more famous than Yude Shui, and the taste is It is comparable to Yude Shui, but I personally feel that the overall dining experience is slightly worse than Yude Shui.

Wanshou Steamed Vegetable Restaurant opened on Wanshou Street. I originally went to this restaurant, but I found that there are many steamed vegetable restaurants around, and they are crowded during meal time. It seems that they are all restaurants that are popular with locals. Here is It’s comparable to the Xianghu Road Steamed Vegetable Restaurant Street in Xiaoshan!

When I went there, a table of out-of-town guests came. They were a little confused looking at the ingredients in the bowls and didn’t know where to start.

I specifically observed the guests at this table and found that they almost left with a disc in the end. They had a pretty good meal at an average cost of 3 per person.

A child asked his mother: Why is this a steamed vegetable restaurant but there is no steamed crayfish?

Mom said: Because crayfish is not a local dish~

I ordered a sparkling Xishi tofu here: in addition to the protagonist's soft tofu, there are also enoki mushrooms, fungus, The soup base with minced meat, oil residue and soy sauce flavor is very delicious.

The rich aroma of lard doubles the aroma of Western-style tofu! Take a spoonful and put it into the rice. The rice grains are wrapped in the soup, and the rice is cooked twice as fast.

In addition, the steamed pumpkin, steamed pig brains, and steamed three delicacies here are the most picked steamed dishes by locals, so please close your eyes and order them.

When I left the store, I saw the proprietress making minced meat very seriously. She spread the meat evenly on the wall of the bowl and dug a hole in the middle. After steaming, they must be very tempting. people.

There is also home-brewed Shaoxing fruit wine in the store. It seems like a good place to have a late night snack and relax with a little wine in the evening breeze.

Among them, I am most interested in the ones that are glutinous, crispy, sour and sweet~

1. Brother’s handmade rattan soup

Brother’s handmade rattan soup cakes

: 20

This is a mom-and-pop shop. The boss makes rattan soup outside and the wife makes sugar paste inside.

I think Teng Geng is like the Zhejiang version of rice rolls, and it also has the meaning of "Linhai Pancake Cone". The boss first rolls a layer of rice paste on the dough sieve, rolls it into a round shape, and then steams it in a special steamer until it becomes transparent.

After that, different fillings are added. The more popular fillings in the store are pickled vegetables and tofu fillings, as well as prunes and pickled mustard fillings.

If you think it’s too plain, you can add sausage, poached eggs, etc. Especially those stuffed with prunes and vegetables, it is yyds to eat them with eggs.

The rattan soup skin is very Q, more elastic than the rice roll skin, and the pickle filling inside is very delicious. It is sandwiched with a small amount of tofu and is mixed with the skin and bitten together. It is delicious.

By the way, there are often takeaway guys waiting to pick up food at the entrance of the store, locals drive here to buy it, and there is also a grandfather from a nearby resident who bought several in one go.

The boss is so skilled at making rattan soup that he can watch TV while doing it. His movements are also very graceful and have a deep muscle memory. Is this considered work and entertainment at the same time?

In addition to rattan soup, the signature dish here is Tangyang. It is a local sweet made from rice. Zhuji Tangyang is different from the surrounding Yiwu, Pujiang and Dongyang Tangyang.

First of all, it is two-color, with a thin white skin on the outside and red bean filling on the inside. The red beans that have been cooked very soft are clearly visible inside.

The taste of Tangyang is a bit like glutinous rice, glutinous and chewy; the sweetness is about 50% of the sugar in milk tea, which is quite suitable; the size is just right in one bite, so it is suitable as a dessert after a meal.

I found that the orders taken by the takeaway guys here are almost all "the combination of Fuji Geng + Tangyang". Teng Geng without extra ingredients is 4 yuan each, and Tangyang is 13 yuan for a large box.

The seats on the side of the store are also very interesting, like a place where the nearby grandfathers and ladies sit to enjoy the cool air and chat in the morning or after the sun goes down.

Xishi Reunion Cake

Xishi Reunion Cake

: 3 pieces for 10 yuan

In Zhuji, Xishi’s hometown, Reunion Cake is a specialty here A traditional delicacy, it is a must-have dish in Zhuji people’s wedding banquets or birthday banquets.

The skin is usually made of flour or buckwheat flour. It is the most fragrant when fried until golden brown and eaten out of the pan. The filling is filled with radish, shredded green onions and pork. When you take a bite, the juice will flow out.

The reunion cakes sold at the scenic spot are 3 pieces for 10 yuan. The taste is quite addictive. Although it is deep-fried, the vegetarian filling inside makes it not greasy to eat.

If you go to Xishi’s hometown, then I recommend the reunion cake opened opposite Ciwu Ashengda Noodle House. This restaurant has been open for 15 years. The owner is 76-year-old "Old Man Zhou", who is very good at making cakes and stinky tofu.

You can also buy a few reunion cakes, eat them in a pavilion by the river, and enjoy the food while watching the scenery. The surrounding area is very eye-catching.

Caota Lao rice cake glutinous rice [zuò]

Caota Lao rice cake glutinous rice

：7-10

To say Zhuji makes people happy If you are interested in breakfast, I must nominate Caota Lao rice cake glutinous rice, which is a famous snack in Zhuji that has been passed down for nearly a hundred years.

This restaurant mainly serves breakfast. Friends from Zhuji recommend going there at 6 or 7 in the morning. This is the best time.

I went there in the afternoon, and luckily I missed it. The boss said: "There are only the last two Caota Lao rice cake glutins left!"

At 3 p.m. At this time, when coffee should be paired with dessert, I chose the very filling Chinese afternoon tea rice cake glutinous rice cake, which costs 7 yuan each.

It is a big piece in my hand. I think it looks like a glutinous rice UFO, with two large glutinous rice cake balls sandwiching a generous amount of shredded radish.

When you get it, it is still warm. When you bite it, you will find that the glutinous rice is very elastic and does not stick to your teeth. Chew it carefully and you will feel the fragrance of rice in your mouth. It tastes softer than ordinary rice cake strips. The shredded radish in the stuffing is stir-fried with pork. It tastes so fragrant and you can still taste the soup.

If you go in the morning, you can also add refueling sticks to the glutinous rice dumplings. The carbohydrate value will be explosive!

In addition to shredded radish, there are also prunes and sugar-filled ones. The combination of sugar + glutinous rice is almost impossible to go wrong in the food formula. It is a very sweet set of CP, which is perfect.

@ ZhujiGood Times

If you go there in the morning, remember to order another Shaomai with salty soy milk. You can have a super happy Chinese breakfast for about 10 yuan. .

@August11th_8195

There were some fried rice cake slices placed at the window of the shop, which were a little more fragrant than what I had tasted in the New Year market before.

Jiangdong Dumpling House

Jiangdong Dumpling House

: 20

This shop has been open for many years, and almost everyone in Zhuji Know. I originally planned to go straight to the nearby "Tongshanlao Grilled Wontons", but due to the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of Zhuji people, I was completely attracted by this restaurant.

It was 3:30 when we went to the dumpling restaurant, and they refused to accept customers. Dinner started at 4 o'clock.

When the shiny dumplings were served, I felt hungry instantly. It's like a dumpling version of sweet and sour pork, each covered in a sweet and sour brown sauce.

The skin of the dumplings is fried to a crispy texture, and the meat filling inside is fragrant with green onions. You won’t feel greasy after eating a few more, which will whet your appetite.

The steamed dumplings here are also a must-try. The skin is very chewy, as if they were rolled by your own hands. Especially the stuffed plums, after steaming, the aroma of the whole plums comes out, and it evenly penetrates into the meat, making it full of freshness. Some people say: 10 dumplings is usually the limit, but here you can eat 15.

@香草auntie

Remember to eat it with the side dishes in the store, such as dried fish and dried beans, which make people unable to stop one after another, just like eating melon seeds.

Tongshanlao Grilled Wontons

Tongshanlao does not open on Jiangdong Road On the street, but hidden in the alley.

@yan10蕷

Many people have never seen this kind of round wontons, but in the Jinhua area, such round wontons can be found everywhere.

@yan10谗

Tongshan’s signature grilled wontons are also sweet and sour, and you can also braise the wontons! The wonton wrappers are crispy and chewy, and coated with a small but delicious sweet and sour sauce.

You can choose meat or shredded radish for filling. The prices are 20 and 15 respectively. The wontons are filled with fillings and the portion is super generous. There is also a hidden secret in the store - homemade chili sauce, be sure to dip it in it, it is slightly spicy and fragrant.

@ ZhujiGood Times

In the past year, I have been to a lot of cafes opened in the county and found that many cafes in the top of the county are as good as those famous restaurants in big cities. , whether it is decoration or taste, you can battle.

Nowadays, independent cafes are becoming more and more popular in the county, and they are often packed. Some people say: As soon as you drink the coffee here, you feel like you are in Shanghai.

Zhuji's "Jianjia Cafe" is a seven-year-old shop that currently has two branches, integrating coffee drinking and coffee training. After checking the ranking, it turned out to be the number one coffee in Shaoxing, including the entire urban area of ??Shaoxing and its subordinate counties and cities.

The store I went to was very secretive, and it was actually on the second floor of a community. Climbing up the stairs, about 5 meters away from the door, I smelled the strong aroma of coffee.

I thought it was a small cafe, but when I opened the door, I found it was very spacious.

I visually estimate that the area is about 100 square meters. In the field of independent cafes, this is considered a huge cafe. Most independent cafes are 10-30 square meters.

The coffee craftsman atmosphere in the store is very strong. For example, when I want to drink oat milk latte, there are three types of beans to choose from: dark roast beans, SOE, and sherry.

After drinking too much SOE hand brew, I wanted to drink SOE latte. The clerk immediately told me that oat milk and dark roasted beans would go better together, which was a sign of professionalism.

Friends who love milk coffee can try the "Ice Blog" in the store. Compared with ordinary latte, Ice Blog has a more milky taste.

After 12 o'clock, customers started arriving in this coffee shop one after another. To my surprise, by 1 o'clock, the seats were already packed. Generally, coffee shops will reach this situation between 2 and 3 o'clock.

The coffee production is very good, and the manager has won many coffee competition championships, such as the third place in the world and the Chinese champion in the 2019 World Latte Art Competition.

The mirror hanging on the door of the bathroom seems to be from the last century. It says on the door: The mirror was bought from a grocery store for 5 yuan, but the person in the mirror is priceless.

A cafe like Simple Home is like an independent magazine in the county, conveying some new concepts and lifestyles. Unlike the standardized Starbucks and Tims, they have plenty of personality and are more humane.

Finally, let me talk about an obvious difference: there will be many part-time workers working on computers in cafes in big cities, while in cafes in county towns, there are almost no people who come to work, and everyone consciously comes here to relax.

I came to this cafe again the next day and found that the hand brewing was also very good, and there was a viewing and sharing area for the hand brewing station, which was my favorite corner of the cafe.

The coffee can obviously taste the flavor written on the brewing list. My cup is "White Horse Mountain Juniper". There is almost no bitterness in the coffee, but I can taste the summer black grape and pineapple. , the charming flavor of gin.

In addition, watching the process of hand brewing is really a visual enjoyment. The pot used by the barista sister is the same style as that of Du Jianing, the world hand brewing champion, and her hands are super stable, and her movements are quick and calm.

If you like grocery stores, Grandmama is worth a special trip to Zhuji. You can buy many of the same styles as Shanghai LOFT here. If you live in Zhuji, you will be very happy if you can buy the latest cultural and creative products and groceries at your doorstep.

It is a shop at the entrance of the community. The door is covered with large areas of cute illustrations, making it highly recognizable. Although it felt quite chaotic after entering, it was orderly in the chaos. The cup area, figure area, and bag area were clearly divided.

What shocked me was: when I went in, I saw a large wall of paintings by the illustration blogger warmgreytail that I really liked. The shop owner actually bought the entire wall of the same paintings from their Korean store!

The area behind the store owner is

Korean illustration blogger warmgreytail’s store looks like this

The meaning of a grocery store is that no matter where you put your eyes, There is something fun in every corner. The density of things in this store is so high that I could turn around 360 degrees and look at them for 10 minutes.

Moreover, the prices at Grandmama are quite friendly, with glasses priced at RMB 20-50. Some designer original fabric bags cost no more than RMB 100, and the same style on Taobao sells for RMB 20.

On the day I came back, I actually watched the live broadcast of Grandmama’s store for two hours at night. It was very exciting.

In the live broadcast room, it can be heard that the shop owner has a wealth of knowledge about domestic and foreign creative designers, illustrators, and their works. With a learning attitude, I was introduced to many interesting brands, and I strongly felt the love of the shop owner for this business.

As a final rule, I will post a list of delicious food and shopping for everyone to take screenshots of.

I passed by Zhuji many times, but never stopped. Nice place to look at. But this time, in addition to being delicious, Zhuji actually gave me new inspiration.

For example, the life attitude of local people, who are keen to make money but also strive to enjoy life; and the shops that some interesting young people like, they are all places that make people feel very comfortable in small counties.
