"There is a saying in Shanghai that 'only people wait for the small cage, there is no small cage and so on', and the small cage steamed bun must be steamed and eaten to be delicious." You Yumin, the sixth generation of non-hereditary inheritors of Nanxiang Xiaolong's production skills, also stayed at the Shanghai Snack Hall at the Expo this year, she said while opening the steamer with her hands and feet, and the instantaneous heat made many customers subconsciously retreat, but she put the Xiaolong steamed buns into the lunch box as usual and handed them to the customers waiting in line.
As one of the representatives of Shanghai snacks, Nanxiang Mantou Shop, which has participated in the catering guarantee work of Shanghai Snack Hall for four consecutive years since the first CIIE, still came up with its signature products this time to welcome exhibitors and visitors from all over the world with high enthusiasm. The production technology of Nanxiang Xiaolong steamed bun with thin skin and rich soup has been included in the list of municipal and national intangible cultural heritage. "Xiaolong steamed bun is a representative snack in Shanghai, and you must try it at the Expo!" The audience said.
