On the evening of July 17, the third Qinghai Special Snacks Exhibition and Xining Food Festival opened in Tangdao, Xining City. That night, all kinds of stalls, dazzling snacks, an endless stream of tourists, so that this commercial street located next to Xining Wanda Plaza became the focus of attention.
In 2020, the "night economy" and "stall economy" have strongly broken into everyone's sight.
In just a few days, the streets and alleys of Chinese cities have returned to life, with night market stalls full of goods. In June this year, Xining held Shangri-La Food Festival, coupled with the opening of the Qinghai special snacks exhibition, are a vivid reflection of Xining's timely response to demand and stirring up the vitality of the city through the "night economy" and "street stall economy".
At night on the plateau, the wind is clear and the air is cool. In the night market stalls, various snacks such as mutton kebabs, grilled squid, crayfish, and beer are gathered into the sea of Xining's night economy, and among them, dry board salmon has become the brightest surprise.
"The pear of your country enjoys the melon of Tang, and the dry fish of Huangyuan enjoys the world." Dried fish is a traditional delicacy in Hehuang, Qinghai province. As Qinghai Lake is closed for breeding due to ecological protection, this dish cooked with Huangshui Lake has gradually faded out of Qinghai people's sight. Today, craftsmen with The Times have figured out a way to replace it with other fish, preserving the traditional taste and taste to the greatest extent, making it a new "Internet celebrity food" in Qinghai.
About 200 grams of salmon will be sliced and gutted, washed and arranged in the hot sun on the SLATE or the beach, and dried into rows of neat and uniform, plank-like dry fish bundles, is the dry board fish. The fried fish is crisp and fragrant, fresh, salty and spicy, and visitors can be attracted by a dozen stalls.
In the past, it was rare to see a night market selling salmon food, mostly in high-end restaurants and Japanese food shops. Now, the salmon has added a "fireworks gas" and integrated into the characteristics of Xining. Because of the opening of the night market, salmon officially "swim" into the Xining night economy, which is welcomed by local people and tourists.
Among aquatic products, grilled fish is one of the important items in the night market, which can provide new increments for the end consumption of fish. Some people say that the market economy and the night economy are the key to promoting consumption recovery and potential release in the post-epidemic era: then, the "night economy" may become an important driving force for the new development of the salmon industry. In the future, Qinghai salmon may also "swim" into night markets across the country, integrate local characteristics, and burst out a new luster.
