There are still a few weeks before the Spring Festival, and the annual flavor can be smelled everywhere in Yangcheng. The new year's goods market has long been very lively. Shopping malls, supermarkets and shopping malls all put the key recommended new year's goods in a conspicuous position, and the new year's gift boxes of major old restaurants have also been launched one after another. I hope I can provide a map of new year's goods for smart friends in Guangzhou.
Venue: 1: Time-honored Restaurant
Traditional new year's goods are still in demand.
[Impression] Chinese New Year is inseparable from the word "eat", and food accounts for a large part of the new year's goods. Is there a market for "Cantonese-style" new year's goods that can make old people feel at ease? After some searching, I found that "Cantonese-style" new year goods have become more delicious in these years.
[Features] Traditional scattered eggs, crispy corners, rice cakes and fried piles, as well as cowears, dates and almond cakes, which Guangzhou people like to eat, are all foods that can arouse people's memories of the New Year. In Lianxianglou Store on Shifu Road, these "Cantonese-style" new year's goods play the leading role, and people come here to buy them in an endless stream.
Guangzhou specialty egg cake, fried rice cake and Momo crisp are all beautifully packaged gift boxes, which are also economical paperbacks. It is reported that traditional Lunar New Year products with beautiful new clothes have been particularly popular recently. Buyers of all ages have it, and some even bring it to friends and relatives in other places for tasting. The buyers of paperback Cantonese-style new year's goods are mainly the elderly. A middle-aged man shopping here said that in the past, when materials were scarce, these things were supplied by ticket. Usually, tickets are reserved for the Spring Festival, and one can buy some, so it looks like the Spring Festival. Although it is convenient to buy these things now, I don't want to eat them, but I must try them during the New Year, otherwise it will be like something is missing. Emerging coconut milk rice cakes and fruit juice rice cakes have gradually become popular in recent years. Lianxianglou successfully trial-produced seaweed-flavored and sesame-flavored rice cakes this year, and there are more than ten varieties of rice cakes a year.
Location 2: Main supermarket
There are thousands of choices for candy, wine and gift bags.
[Impression] It is understood that the stocking of supermarkets this year has increased by about 50% compared with usual, reaching at least 30%. Every year, on the "full box", there are indispensable snacks such as candy and melon seeds for the New Year. According to reports, there are more kinds of candy this year than last year, mainly taste and variety. Even the wine gift box, which is usually "unpopular", is in a hot-selling state because of the festive packaging of the New Year.
[Features] Parknshop, Trust-Mart, Lotus and other supermarkets will open new year's goods areas in their stores, so that citizens can buy new year's goods on the first floor, and the service is very caring. I made a field trip to Carrefour, where there is a 100-meter new year candy area and a new year street. Hsu Fu Kee, Xizhilang and Taishang Bulk Candy are the brands with the largest sales volume and the most complete varieties. These include crisp candy, fruit candy, chocolate, jelly, lollipop ... There are more kinds of chewing gum this year that were not available last year. According to rough statistics, there are hundreds of kinds of candy on the shelves, but supermarkets provide free tasting services to let consumers buy the most palatable candy.
Generally speaking, wine is one of the first choices for gifts. In terms of liquor sales this year, liquor, red wine and foreign wine also accounted for the main market. The gift box of foreign wine is more expensive, but the brand is trustworthy and the gift is more appropriate. So the gift box sales of liquor will be slightly less than that of foreign wine. However, the sales of single bottle of aluminum boxed liquor for home use and ordinary meals are better than those of similar foreign wines. Supermarkets also provide consumers with free gift combinations with rich and frugal prices.
It is worth noting that when buying new year's goods, you should see the production date clearly and try to choose some well-known brands as your first choice. The quality can be guaranteed, and you don't have to worry about food. The sales varieties and prices of major supermarkets are not much different, but the after-sales service is different. Consumers can go to large supermarkets to buy.
Venue 3: Seafood Dry Goods Street
"Health, environmental protection and high quality" has become the slogan of dry goods.
[Impression] Every New Year, dry goods are the heroes of cooking New Year's Eve. Oyster beans, dried shrimps, mushrooms, squid, scallops, etc. Are all components of the mind. In this year's dry goods market, in addition to Nostoc flagelliforme, traditional dry goods are complete, and many healthy foods have been added, such as Ejiao, fish maw and sea cucumber. According to industry insiders, its sales volume is much higher than that of previous years, and its price is basically the same as that of previous years, with a slight upward trend. People tend to "eat healthy, eat healthy".
[Features] With the ban on sales of Nostoc flagelliforme, it has disappeared in the dry goods market. The pursuit of health is also a major feature of urbanites, and people will also choose some healthy foods with high protein, low fat and low calorie. Laoguang people will buy it at Yide Road Dried Seafood Wholesale Market, which is cheaper than the market, and the grade of the goods can also be chosen by themselves.
Take Yaozhu as an example, there are many kinds from big to small, and the gifts are as big as chess, and the price is about 500g in 300 yuan. But the stall owner said that 500 grams of 80 yuan-100 yuan was enough for personal use. Oyster beans are also divided into those commonly used in restaurants and those used at home. The former is large and semi-dry, in order to look good and save soaking time; The latter is small and dry, represented by Japanese oysters and bamboo oysters. In terms of taste and taste, Dictyophora dictyophora is the best, and the price per 500g is about-1 10 yuan in 95 yuan.
The concept of new year's goods is "expanded"
[Impression] According to the introduction of Guangzhou restaurant, when the supply of goods is in short supply and the concept of new year's goods is relatively simple, the so-called new year's goods generally refer to storage-resistant goods such as rice cakes, crisp foods and pickled foods. Now, although these traditional new year's goods are still hot, products represented by leisure products are playing an increasingly important role in new year's goods consumption. This year, Guangzhou Restaurant will also put cookies, chocolates and other gift boxes on the shelves.
[Features] From the variety point of view, professional traditional time-honored brands are obviously more than supermarkets and shopping malls, and they constantly introduce new products through innovation. Such as Guangzhou Restaurant and Huangshanghuang Bacon Shop. In addition to sausages, there are some rare varieties on the market, such as cured duck kidney, money slices, duck intestines, and sauce-flavored pork belly in Guangzhou restaurant. More importantly, bacon food has a beautiful name and shape. Five Blessingg gift box and Yuanyang Shuang Bao bacon gift box are some special varieties, which make people happy.
Many people think bacon is authentic enough. Although the price is slightly higher than the supermarket, the taste is the most important. Not only do you use vacuum packaging to get rid of greasy, but also the packaging is exquisite and the price is reasonable. In order to take care of the needs of modern healthy diet, there are large and small preserved meats now. The whole big preserved duck is vacuum-packed, and the gift is magnificent enough. Small ones are packaged into mini "granule sausages", which are convenient for eating and storage.
