Southwest hotel has a history of 60 years, but it still keeps its original appearance well, which makes people feel nostalgic. It pays more attention to the standards of its products. It is never careless. It not only retains the original flavor of "old Guangdong", but also innovates the dishes and snacks. Taking the well-known "west wine gems", namely, egg powder and SaQima, as examples, they have pushed Sanshui"s pastry industry to a new height. Over the years, they have won numerous awards. Last year, they were included in the Sixth Batch of intangible cultural heritage list of Sanshui District, and in June, they were also awarded the title of "Lingnan famous snack".

Speaking of the Southwest Hotel, this former Sanshui County catering service company, which was "born" in 1956 and was officially established in 1982, is no stranger in the old neighborhoods of Sanshui. All these are because the special snacks of southwest, such as Sakima and egg powder, are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and are well-known in the streets. There is a man and his disciples who have made great contributions. This person is Mr. Qian Guisheng, also known as brother Sheng, the inheritor of Foshan intangible cultural heritage project. He has been engaged in the catering industry for more than 40 years. He is now the general manager of Foshan Xijiu catering Co., Ltd. and has been awarded the title of "grade II pastry master" in Guangdong Province. He is often invited as the judge of "Sanshui catering company grade III pastry Master examination qualification". All along, brother has a rigid belief in preserving traditional culture. He insists on handmade, no preservatives and any pigments, and is healthy. He said: "keep the essence, remove the dross, preserve the good traditional culture, and combine with modern culture, so that we can produce the best quality. Taking moon cake as an example, many Sanshui residents recognize the taste of Western wine. In addition to their feelings, they follow the taste more. In recent years, the pure handmade "big four happiness" moon cakes, low sugar five kernels and low sugar double spring white lotus paste developed by Shengge are deeply loved by the majority of Sanshui people. Over time, Sanshui"s catering industry has a "moon cake Prince" reputation. At first, he also started as an apprentice and from the most basic floor. After finishing the floor work every day, he learned the basic skills of rubbing flour and pressing boards with his master (Puer ER). He repeatedly rubbed the flour for 3-4 hours every day, and constantly practiced the skills of kneading, rubbing, pulling and falling, so that the movements were clean and neat. The flour rubbed out did not stick to hands or basins, and was soft and soft. As the saying goes, "only when you have a big dish, can you have the strength to roll." This basic method of training arm and upper limb physical strength has been passed down to Xijiu for 60 years. Now, each of his apprentices has a pair of strong arms and a pair of rough big palms, so that the masters have a saying that "if you can"t make a good floor, you can"t be a master of Western Wine". He is willing to take his apprentice. However, he chooses an apprentice first by fate, and secondly by his intelligence and learning ability. He was very strict with his disciples, both in basic skills and in conduct. Sheng Ge admits that talent is a factor, but his attitude to study and research is more important. What he dislikes most is to be lazy and easy-going and to cheat and play tricks. In fact, he hopes to inherit the traditional pastry making process with solid technology as the premise. However, this nervous master is usually a big brother full of love. He loves his disciples in everything. Everyone calls them "Qian family class". Xiaobian still remembers that he had an interview with his brother before dinner that day. During the interview, he suddenly stopped because he asked the waiter to open an extra table for his Qian family class to eat. He also went to the workshop to ask them to come over for dinner. He could not be hungry. And this series of small moves, small make-up all see in the eye, moved in the heart. He is a big brother who likes to do things by himself and is full of love and love. He loves his disciples, and they also respect him very much.
