The Present Situation of Henan Cuisine Restaurant Opening in China
The local complex in everyone's heart urges us to hope that every kind of food and snack in Henan can go to every corner of the country, so that all hometown people who travel abroad can enjoy the delicious food all the time.
It is true that I believe that many delicious snacks with Henan characteristics, such as Hui Mian, kaifeng soup dumplings, Xiaoyao Hu Spicy Soup, may have indeed gone out of Henan and headed for major cities. But what is their proportion in the whole country? Personally, I sometimes suddenly want to find a place to eat a bowl of Huimian Noodles and drink a bowl of hot soup, but I can't find it in most cities. I believe many people in Henan have had the same experience as me.
Therefore, as far as the whole country is concerned, compared with other local cuisines, Henan specialty restaurants are really rare.
You can always hear this sentence: "When you arrive in Henan, you can eat authentic xx food and snacks". At first, I was proud of Henan. Until now, I deeply realized how sad this sentence is.
Why can't Henan cuisine breed restaurants all over the country?
I'm sorry, Bian Xiao, but I can't answer this question accurately, but I can only throw out a few stupid theories, so that I can start a conversation. If you have different opinions, you can tell me so that I can add.
1. Since ancient times, Henan has attached importance to agriculture and suppressed commerce, lacking the genes of businessmen and the environmental atmosphere of partnership business. Therefore, many people can become chefs through hard work, but they cannot be bosses. Most of these fly restaurants all over the country are run by chefs and bosses.
2. Henan cuisine gradually fell behind in the historical development process, losing its popularity and influence. Many people lose confidence in native Henan cuisine and unconsciously switch to other cuisines. This subtle influence is the most terrible. With the passage of time, Henan cuisine has experienced inheritance, innovation and development. This lost the opportunity to create explosive and innovative dishes like Shandong people's improvement of braised chicken.
3. Lack of industry norms and government guidance, such as the same Hu spicy soup, the taste and materials eaten in different places are very different. Over time, many cottage restaurants have influenced the evaluation of authentic snacks.
4. Henan people are not very demanding on food, so they are not very sensitive to starting a business.
..... If you think there are other more popular local cuisines that I haven't listed, or my last reason is not sufficient, please correct me.
