Zongzi is a traditional food of the Chinese nation, and most people choose to eat Zongzi every year during the Dragon Boat Festival. Speaking of zongzi in Wufangzhai, Jiaxing, I think everyone is familiar with it. This is a very famous brand of Zongzi, so why is this little-known Zongzi so famous?
Jiaxing Wufangzhai originated in the Qing Dynasty, and the founder's surname is Shen. Now he is from Yuanhe Town Development Zone. At first, this man just opened a dessert shop outside his home, and made five kinds of things that Suzhou people like to eat with roses, osmanthus flowers and lotus seeds as the main raw materials. The Shen Shi family has five daughters, namely Mei Fang, Gui Fang, Fiona Fang, He Fang and Zhi Fang. Neighbors nicknamed his shop Wufangzhai, and the boss named the shop Wufangzhai from then on, hence the name Wufangzhai. Since then, Wufangzhai has spread since then. The jiaozi of Wufangzhai is characterized by waxy but not rotten, tender meat and fragrant leaves. It is made according to the traditional cooking technology and formula, and the selection of raw materials is very particular. Jiaozi, the meat stuffing, is made of the best hind leg lean meat, and glutinous rice balls are made of red beans, which are then seasoned and cooked with other ingredients. Zongzi in Wufangzhai, Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province has a history of hundreds of years. Also known as the king of zongzi in the south of the Yangtze River, it has become a unique scenery in Jiaxing.
In 2008, Shanghai Wufangzhai Corporation moved to No.28 South Yunnan Road. On the basis of the original Jiaxin Wufangzhai Zongzi, they paid more attention to the quality of the brand and introduced many traditional crafts, such as scallops, prawns, egg yolks and big meat. Wufangzhai has a set of technical specifications in the operation process, and the soaking time, cooking time and cooking time of glutinous rice are strictly controlled. The variety of jiaozi with minced meat fully shows the local characteristics of Shanghai, and jiaozi is vacuum-preserved and easy to carry. The design of the gift box is very atmospheric and practical, and it is a very good choice to give it away or eat it yourself.
