The “Mooncake Season” is here again. The turbulent Shanghai meat mooncake sector is embarking on a new round of queuing time competition.
In fact, behind the violent riots, Shanghai’s time-honored brands have many “secrets” about fresh meat mooncakes.
How do you start with too much material? Let’s start with the story of Rashomon between Guangming Village, Changchun and Harbin, the “Big Three” on Huaihai Road.

Long line of fresh meat mooncakes in Guangming Village. Aunts and uncles came prepared, and the small benches were brought on
The Guangming Village on Huaihai Road remains the same this year. In the past few days, the long queues for buying fresh meat mooncakes have been all the way to the “Popeyes”(Popeyes) span>.
Actually, as early as the end of August, more than a month before the Mid-Autumn Festival, we found that this team had “re-emerged”.
One pot 65The moon cakes and 5 boilers were all started. In the afternoon of weekdays, the long line of moon cakes still blocked the entrance of the alley next door.
An old man wearing a white Polo shirt and a one-shoulder briefcase just squeezed out of the crowd, carrying 4 boxes of fresh meat mooncakes in his hand.
“Allah’s age is more meticulous (careful), I came to print samples yesterday. I have to queue 1.5 in the morning. At the beginning of the hour, the salesperson talked about the second half of the day (afternoon) less people.”
“I’ll come over now and see how long the team is. I really bought it in less than 10 minutes.”
“In fact, it is the most cost-effective to buy now, without the pain of queuing.” Grandpa is happy to share his “staggered” buying experience.
As early as late August, many customers came to buy moon cakes “staggered”
“My name is Lu, Lu from Luwan District. I am old Luwan. Buying this (moon cake) is nostalgic,” he said.
It turns out that the 73-year-old Lu was born in Le’an Fang, opposite Guangming Village.
He is a caring person. This time he came here to buy four boxes of moon cakes because of their four brothers and sisters, and he is going to give a box to the family.
The meat mooncakes of Shanghai Beach can be roughly divided into boiler pie and oven pie.
Old Lu Ting Boiler Pie. He said: “Most of them are baked in the oven now, and the baked pieces are rounded, like steamed buns. The whole bite is flour, and it’s stiff to match, indicating that the pastry is not well done.”
The fresh meat mooncakes in Guangming Village are baked in a boiler. “Its skin is short-boiled, and when you bite it in your hand, the layers are like snowflakes.”

It has been more than a few years since I bought it, and the old Lu even understood the “inheritance” of his mooncake skills.
“It turns out that there was a master chef in the first generation who was doing it himself, and the meat fillings are always good.”
“Allah is a kind of “pimple” mouth. After this teacher retired two years ago, Allah found that the filling was filled with sweets, which was not delicious. Fortunately, he changed it back a year later.”
“The two aunts are baking now. But I see that the master’s “Truth” has basically been passed down.”
Aunty used a pan to bake fresh meat mooncakes on the spot, which has been “true biography” by the master.

On Dianping’s Shanghai “Fresh Meat Mooncake List”, Guangming Village currently tops the list and stands at the top of the chain of contempt.
However, in the middle section of Huaihai Road, which is characterized by pastries and cooked food and successfully developed a “earth-flavored top stream” (How did this section of Huaihai Road become “earth-flavored top flow”) span>, other time-honored brands are not “vegetarian” either.
It is not just Guangming Village that sells fresh meat mooncakes.
Taikang, which has set up fresh-baked counters for local specialty products across the country, and the southern district boss who just opened a store recently, belong to the “away game”, but the price is set to “told”. Fresh meat mooncakes sell for 6 yuan.
Changchun Food Store and Lao Dachang are the “old land”. The price of fresh meat mooncakes is the same as that of Guangming Village, selling 5 yuan per piece.
Lao Dachang is also a “boiler pie”, and there is a pan in the store that is ready to sell.
