I am from Datong, especially I love the food in Datong. When I was in primary school, I could eat "Liu Tu Tou" on Headquarters Street for 20 yuan at a time (8 for 10 yuan at that time, which is a bit expensive now), not to mention shaved noodles, and I also like jelly. I like it, and there are also haggis, oat noodles, etc., but I feel that our Datong delicacies lack successful market packaging, cannot create a brand, and cannot be promoted nationwide! This is where our heart aches! On various BBSs, only Datong people praise their delicious food. Outsiders know very little about it. In fact, Datong has so many delicious food! It tastes better than some nationally-known brands. What does Beijing’s Donglaishun taste like? ! It’s far worse than the old Sun family! But this is a "hundred-year-old store"! There are so many mid-range restaurants in Datong, and the consumption is not high, so I don’t care if you eat well! ! In other big cities, there are either roadside stalls or high-end restaurants, and ordinary people cannot eat real food at all! well! It would be great if our Datong flavor snacks could be a hit product one day earlier~ In the past, knife-shaped noodles were not available due to hygiene problems. Now, the Oriental noodles and Chai-style noodles are made into a fast food form, which can be considered to have made a certain contribution, but the real noodles Ace-Dongguan, No. 7 Middle School is still the same~ Come on! As a Datong person, I wholeheartedly support Datong food! ! !
