  When visiting Lanzhou, Jin Lan Mala Tang in Anning District must be on the must-eat list.

  At noon on March 19, looking at the endless diners, Ms. Chen, a citizen of Lanzhou, lamented: "Jin Lan Mala Tang, which is deeply loved on weekdays, has become more popular recently!" This is an old-fashioned Mala Tang shop in Lanzhou. The proprietress’s name is Wen Jinlan, and she is from Longnan, Gansu Province. She has been here for more than 20 years. After the hot spicy dip in Tianshui, more and more diners came here, and sometimes they even had to wait in line for an hour to eat.

  In order to meet the huge passenger flow, it is normal for Wen Jinlan to get up early for nearly 20 hours every day. The reason why it is popular, in the view of the proprietress Wen Jinlan, is because of "popular taste, everyone likes it". The raw materials such as Gangu pepper, Wudu Dahongpao pepper, vermicelli specially customized from Dingxi and grain vinegar produced nearby have jointly contributed to the mouth-watering "spicy and hot".

  "A large pot of vegetables, all kinds of ingredients wrapped in red juice, a spoonful of crisp sour radish, and the smell of oily spicy seeds between chopsticks directly hit the taste buds." Every meal, Yanji Mala Tang in Zhengning Road, Chengguan District, all the tables inside and outside the store are full. Many people ask, after more than 30 years of opening, people are so popular that there must be an exclusive secret recipe, right? Mr. Zeng, the boss, said frankly: "My wife and I are out-and-out Jianyang people in Sichuan. We have lived in Lanzhou for decades. We improved and adjusted the proportion of juice according to the tastes of local people, which reduced the hemp degree of pepper. It brings together Gansu local materials such as Dingxi Kuanfen and Gangu Chili, forming a unique flavor of Gansu Mala Tang. "
