Xinmin Evening News (Reporter Yang Yuhong) Eating soup dumplings is the highlight of the Lantern Festival for Shanghainese. The newly renovated Ningbo soup dumpling shop recently ushered in a peak of customer flow, selling more than 70,000 dumplings a day, and a one-meter bar will be pulled up at the door of the store during peak hours to maintain order.
At 11 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the store was full. In addition to the old diners who are familiar with the food, there are also many young people who bring their parents to relive the taste of their childhood. "There were too many people during the Spring Festival, so we deliberately staggered our visit to Yu Garden. Miss Yu, a citizen, told reporters that every year on the eve of the Lantern Festival, she would bring her family to Yu Garden, walk the Jiuqu Bridge, and eat a bowl of black crispy gnocchi.

When the waiter sees a customer entering the store, he will take special care of him: "Find a seat and sit down first, and then order!" Xu Zhengliu, manager of Ningbo Tangtuan Shop, explained: "Many customers habitually look at the price list first when they enter the store, and it is easy to block the passage; It coincides with the peak flow of customers, and customers wait for a long time after ordering, which can easily cause the gnocchi to be mushy. That's why we'll remind customers to take their seats first, order later, and wait for the waiter to deliver the food to the table and savor a bowl of hot gnocchi. ”
To provide a better dining environment for citizens and tourists, Ningbo Tangtuan Restaurant has launched a series of optimization measures. For example, the store implements two methods of desktop scanning code scanning and manual ordering at the checkout counter, which not only keeps up with the pace of young people, but also takes care of the consumption habits of the elderly.
The restaurant service is more user-friendly and the products are richer. The reporter saw that the traditional black crispy flavor soup dumplings have become a must-order "darling" at every table, followed by a crab roe fresh meat soup ball with a large filling; For first-time tourists, the salty and sweet flavor of double soup dumplings is their best choice; Durian gnocchi and matcha bean paste gnocchi are more popular among young people and children.

The fastest sell-out every day is the Year of the Dragon Spring Festival limited edition "Qile Dragon Dragon" glutinous rice blessing group. Xu Zhengliu said that this dragon-shaped glutinous rice futuan tailored for the Year of the Dragon takes a dim sum chef more than half an hour just to depict dragon scales and dragon horns, because it is purely handmade, "there are no two identical glutinous rice fudough in the world." The snow-white dragon shape is matched with red wolfberry eyes, which are wrapped in sweet and delicious jujube paste filling, implying a family reunion and sweetness in the New Year.
