Su made meat, went to the court, went to the streets, and the people were happy
According to the elders, in the 45th year of Qianlong (1780), Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty visited the south and stayed at the home of Chen Yuanlong, an official in Yangzhou. Chen house chef Zhang Dongguan speculated on the emperor's taste, for Qianlong master carefully designed and braised a meat dish, Qianlong praised after eating. Zhang Dongguan also therefore drove into the capital into the imperial dining room. The new dish is called "Su Zao Rou", which means "Su Zao Rou". This dish was later introduced into the people, in order to adapt to the consumption of the common people, later generations tried to use cheap pig water, especially with pig intestines as the main raw material instead of pork belly, its flavor is more unique, thus "Suzao meat" evolved into "spiced small intestine". Spiced small intestine has a strong taste, and the price is low, both to satisfy cravings and hunger, and it is popular with the people. Therefore, Chen's father and son sold this food in the off-season of farming, and then passed down to the third generation Chen Yutian. Chen Yutian learned art from a young age, inherited his father's business, and made this brine boiled small intestine more authentic.
Suitable for the people, meat to change the intestine, small intestine Chen, famous
In Chongwen District, Beijing Yongwai West Innovation, No. 110, Beijing small intestine Chen soup shop small intestine Chen's successor, old Master Chen Yutian, said that in the Qing Dynasty Guangxu, Jingdong Sanhe County Chen Yutian's grandfather Chen Zhaoen is selling Su made meat. In the old society, there were many poor people, and the price of Suzhuan meat cooked with pork belly was expensive, so Master Chen replaced the pork belly with cheap pork head meat, and added the cheaper boiled water system. After Chen Yutian's father, Chen Shirong, and his son inherited his father's business, Chen Yutian, after more than 100 years of inheritance and innovation, finally created the famous brine boiled small intestine in Kyoto.
