Text | Look at Xiuzhou
These days
Zhejiang people's hearts
Some fishing vessels in the East China Sea have ended their fishing moratorium
The first fishing boats were released from the ban
Treading the waves on the sea to find "freshness"!

Stir-fried rice cakes with pike crab, steamed crabs, fried red shrimp in oil......
The recipes in my head have been turned around
These fresh and tender "shrimp soldiers and crab generals"
When will it be able to "pour" on the table of Xiuzhou people?
"Start fishing the first net of small seafood! Come on! On the first day of "Xiaokaiyu", the high boss of the "Benwei" local restaurant in Nanmei Village, Xiuzhou District, posted a message in the circle of friends: You can come to try it tonight!
It turned out that the full name of this "Gao Boss" is Gao Wangwei, a native of Nanmei Village, and a well-known "dead ingredients" in the Wangdian catering industry.
In 2020, attracted by the boom in the construction of beautiful villages in his hometown, seeing that the popularity of the village is getting higher and higher, and the platform is getting better and better, he resolutely decided to return to his hometown to start a business and open such a local restaurant.
And this wave of "umami" was transported back from the East China Sea Express by a friend on the same day, just to let diners eat the freshest and most "wild" ingredients.
"Since we have opened the store in the countryside, we have to make the most 'earthy' and leave the simplest and most restored taste of the ingredients to customers." The name of the restaurant is "Benwei", and in Gao Wangwei's view, this is the basis of cooking.
For this "original taste", 2:45, 3:00, 3:15, 3:20...... On the mobile phone, Gao Wangwei's alarm clock was set one after another. Why do you wake up so early in the morning? Gao Wangwei said, drive my small truck to go out to find fresh!
For example, the small fish in the mountain streams of Qiandao Lake, the local goods in the mountains, the amazing size of the Taihu Lake No. 1 wild giant river prawn in Taihu Lake, the hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake, and the wild blue crabs and burbot eels on the banks of the Qiantang River. For example, I have to set off overnight and rush to Taizhou to purchase delicious small seafood, Dachen Island local chicken that grew up with seafood, and smooth and tender seaside tofu......
"I often go to the distance of one or two hundred kilometers nearby, so I have to pick and choose to see it with my own eyes to rest assured." Gao Wangwei introduced, "During this time, I basically get up at 3 o'clock in the morning and set off, and occasionally I get up at 5 o'clock when I am a few days away. Set several alarm clocks, otherwise you will oversleep. He laughs.
Set off in the dark, I saw the stars and moon quietly at night, and I also saw the most beautiful sunrise along the way. Since the opening of the store, Gao Wangwei's late-night search has been persisting for more than 3 years, and he said proudly: "Our family can't talk about any signature dishes, no matter what the dish, it has been 'completely successful' in terms of ingredients!" ”
Regardless of the dish, "fresh" is always the main tone, and it is Gao Wangwei's best skill to preserve the taste of the seasonal ingredients according to local conditions and time conditions.
That night, on the eve of the "August 1st" Army Day, Hu Xiangdong, a diner from Haiyan, invited a group of old comrades-in-arms to dinner. On the table, I ordered sauerkraut fish, pork ribs in sauce, and steamed prawns......
Hu Xiangdong told the editor that this local restaurant is at the top of the list of his private restaurants, and as a loyal fan, he has to bring friends and relatives every once in a while. "We all came all the way, and after eating, we still feel that the dishes here are the most delicious, the ingredients are the freshest, and the boss is also the most attentive!"
The "freshness" of seasonal ingredients has been the same for many years, and the praise among customers has been passed on by word of mouth. Driven by the annual winter and spring plum appreciation season and the boost of rural tourism, the reputation of the "original taste" Nanmeiyu Village has spread farther and farther, and there are more and more repeat customers.
"When there were a lot of people, the four boxes and open-air seats were fully booked, and the call had no choice but to refuse."
"In addition to the surrounding Tongxiang, Haining, Haiyan, as well as guests from Shanghai and Hangzhou, they believe in this bite, and would rather step on the accelerator twice and drive for dozens of minutes to eat here."
"From the opening to the present, there are basically no bad reviews! There are new guests who are not at ease, and the old customers will spontaneously help us prove and publicize, and we will know that the fish and shrimp in the tank are freshly bought......"
This bite of "fresh" is rich and thrifty, from thirty fifty to three or five hundred per capita, in the "original taste" Nanmeiyu Village, homely meals are also available, and business banquets are also good.
In recent years, the reputation of winning with quality, sincerity and truth has been established, the spring breeze of "rural tourism" has become more and more popular, and the income of small shops is getting better and better. But Gao Wangwei said: "It is enough to keep this shop and the quality of each dish, and I also hope that everyone will often come to the village after tea and dinner, and everyone is welcome to beautiful Nanmei!" ”
