In the 20th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1895), Li Guangzhong, a native of Liuzhuang, Luanxian County, Hebei Province, was the first pear tree in Siping, with a history of more than 100 years. When Li Liangui fled to the pear tree, he opened a "after prosperity" raw meat shop, mainly dealing in raw pork, sauce meat, pies and wine. According to legend, Gao Pinzhi, an old Chinese medicine doctor, told Li Liangui the secret recipe of Chinese herbal medicine to make bacon. Under the guidance of the old man, Li Liangui devoted himself to studying the procedures of dispensing, selecting meat, cutting meat, nourishing soup, mixing noodles and cooking. Because the sauce meat of the Li family is clean and rotten, and the pie is soft and crisp, people who eat it are full of praise: the pie rolls bacon, which is not enough to eat, so it is often full in Lishu Town, which is very popular with the masses.
1924, died of illness, and adopted son Li Yao (nephew, adopted by Li because he had no children) inherited his father's business, moved from pear tree to Siping with soup stock, and opened Gui Lian bacon pie shop. Later, a branch was added in the northeast market of siping road.
1950, Li Chunsheng, the son of Li Yao, inherited his ancestral business, moved Li Liangui bacon pie to Shenyang with an altar of soup stock, and opened a shop at the west end of the bustling Zhongjie. During the ten-year turmoil, the shop was smashed and sold rice and cauldrons instead.

The enterprise also raised more than 200,000 yuan by itself, and registered international trademarks in six countries and regions including Japan, Russia and Hong Kong. It laid the foundation for "Li Liangui" to go global.

On March 7th, 1995, Li Liangui Flavor Restaurant registered the service trademark of "Li Liangui Brand" in the State Trademark Office. At this point, "Li Liangui" has the right to use two trademarks.
In August, 1996, the nationwide anti-counterfeiting campaign was launched. More than 450 infringing shops were banned, and 26 shops were destroyed in Siping City alone. Nine infringing shops that refused to clean up were prosecuted according to law and all won the case. Purify the market environment, improve the brand reputation and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises.

1998 In August, based on the principle of "cleaning up (using the fees collected in the cleaning process to meet the cleaning needs), combining the selection of stations (removing counterfeit brands and establishing chain stores at the same time), focusing on stations (mainly establishing as many chain stores as possible), ensuring quality, rational layout, improving efficiency and carrying forward", we vigorously developed chain operations. Up to now, 150 chain stores have been established in 22 provinces and cities (regions) in China, using "Li Liangui brand" commodity trademarks and service trademarks. Its chain speed and scale are unique in the whole province. The annual turnover of national chain stores is 270 million yuan, and it entered the top 100 catering enterprises in 2002. Using the celebrity effect, Deng Xiaoping Room and Li Peng Room were opened. According to the memories of the leading comrades who accompanied Deng Xiaoping and Li Peng for dinner, the tables and chairs were copied. At that time, the photos and historical profiles of relevant leaders in Siping City were hung in the restaurant to let customers know the history of Li Liangui brand development while eating.
Since the 1950s, Party and state leaders such as Chen Yun, Li Xuefeng, Yang, Hong Kong and Macao have all tasted bacon pies. Li Liangui bacon pie 1980 was named as a high-quality flavor variety by Jilin provincial people's government, and 1997 won the title of "China famous snack" and "famous trademark"! Li Liangui's son Li Yao's reminiscence article: Li Liangui Bacon Pie (originally published in Siping CPPCC Literature and History Data (the first series), page 44).
Li Liangui School, named after its founder. In the 20th year of Guangxu reign of Qing Dynasty, Li Liangui, his stepfather, made a living from Luanxian County, Hebei Province, went to Kanto for a visit, settled in Lishu County, opened a "Xingshenghou" raw meat shop, and also handled cooked meat and blue cakes. In order to get business, we have carefully studied the habits of northeast people who like to eat roasted, baked, smoked and fried products, and constantly improved the production technology of cooked meat and blue cakes. With the help of traditional Chinese medicine, we added more than ten kinds of Chinese herbal pieces as seasonings in the smoking process, and initially formed the operation standard of bacon cake.
1924, my father Li Liangui died, so I inherited his father's footsteps and moved to Siping, where I made Li Liangui's signature.
It is the result of my father's long-term management of the restaurant. Through continuous exploration and research, he gradually summed up his experience and made such a unique bacon pie. Li Liangui bacon pie is not only famous in Northeast China, but also unique in China. In the old society, we kept it absolutely secret and didn't tell anyone at all, in order to monopolize profits.
When Bacon Pie was founded, it only made ordinary cakes and bacon. The store is small, with few customers and, of course, little profit. My ancestors, in order to support their families. In order to make a fortune, I used my brains and tried my best to improve the quality of food. After years of thinking and practice, the quality of bacon pie has finally been improved. So gradually, after customers tasted it, they felt that our bacon pie was unique, with special flavor and pleasant smell, and they were full of praise. They spread the word "two", "two" and "three", so customers are more and more like a day. Some people regard it as a gift. So it is famous far and near. In the Republic of China and the puppet Manchukuo period, commerce flourished. Although it is not crowded, the small room in our shop is full.
Our management style is also different from other hotels. They come and go from day to night and make a lot of noise. Our shop doesn't open until ten o'clock in the morning and closes at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and it becomes silent at night. We only sell one bite of pork bacon a day and never kill more and cook more. Sell more, serve more, and those who come late have to find another place to eat. But the profit is by no means lower than theirs.
The key to the success of our store is to improve the quality of bacon and pies. Improving the quality of bacon pie lies in paying attention to the quality of raw meat. For example, we smoked enough meat to kill pigs ourselves, and we would never go out to buy meat for fear of buying sick pigs or inferior meat. Even if the meat I bought is good enough for pigs, I'm afraid it won't fade and my skin will be hairy. That will ruin the reputation of our shop. If reputation is destroyed, economic resources will be damaged. Therefore, sick pigs and bad meat are our most taboo.
During the Puppet Manchuria, we added another place in the northeast market of siping road. At that time, the Japanese invaders imposed economic oppression for plunder and were not allowed to kill pigs themselves. Therefore, we must go to the butcher shop to buy meat. Whoever has good meat will buy it. If the meat is not good, we will never buy it and have to close down a lot. Although employees are paid if they don't start business, they are still full of grievances. Because he can get a tip of five or six yuan for a day's work, which is several times higher than their daily salary. They said to the outside world: "Our shopkeeper is too special. Without good meat, we won't accept business if we don't make money." In this way, it has helped us a lot and the reputation of the store is also great. Furthermore, customers come to our store and see that our bacon is very different from other places. The leather bag is golden yellow and transparent. When eating, the fat is tender and smooth, fat but not greasy; Lean meat is delicious and delicious, which makes people never tire of eating it. As a result, more people come every day, profits are increasing every day, and shops are gradually booming.
1950, my son Li Chunsheng opened another one in Shenyang. In order to keep the traditional characteristics of Li's bacon pie, Li Chunsheng is meticulous in making and selecting ingredients. When he chose pork, he used fresh pork with fat and thin from the front trough to the ribs, then rinsed it with water and alkali, soaked it in clear water for 6- 10 hours to remove blood and foul smell, then cut it into cubes and stewed it in a pot. Fennel is also added in summer and autumn to make the sauce meat more tender and delicious. At the same time, pour the broth, boil it with high fire, and simmer it slowly with low fire, so that the meat can be turned up and down and the floating foam can be thrown out in time. When the meat is cooked, take it out, drain the oil, put it in a smoking pot and smoke it with brown sugar. Cake is made by adding broth, salt and seasoning to flour to form soft dough. It takes a long time to sober up, rolling and oiling. Roll it a few times and bake it into a cake. Characterized by bacon fat but not greasy, thin but not firewood, fragrant and red; The pie is yellow and fragrant, and the layers are soft inside and crisp outside. Carry forward our old traditional business methods, adhere to the credibility and ensure the quality of cakes and meat, so the business is booming and famous at home and abroad. Shenyang is the political, economic and cultural center of northeast China. The establishment of Li Liangui Bacon Cake Shop in Shenyang laid an important foundation for Li Liangui to go to the whole country.
General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee Deng Xiaoping visited Pingping 1958. After tasting, he praised: "it is economical, simple and delicious." The following year, Chinese leader Chen Yun praised him for his "unique flavor" when he visited the province.
1959. I visited Beijing at the invitation of the exchange office. In the Oriental Hotel, the communication office called the technicians from major hotels to learn from me. After half a month, I patiently taught them how to operate and the ingredients. Beijing leaders, hotel managers, secretaries, company secretaries and so on. Everyone came to the scene to taste and was well received. After returning to Ping, the leaders of our city encouraged me to continue studying and make contributions to the socialist construction of the motherland and the improvement of people's living standards.
The above materials were dictated by Li Liangui's son Li Yao (Li Liangui's nephew, adopted as a son because Li Liangui had no children). Before his death, he was the manager of Siping Station Hotel. According to him, Zhang Shoushan, an old artist, came to the era of peace, and after eating bacon cakes, he exclaimed, "I have been performing arts all over the country and traveled to major cities in the north and south. I just think your bacon pie is particularly fragrant. It couldn't be better! " In fact, Li Liangui bacon pies are well-known because they study hard and keep exploring, but they can keep their flavor. If you use meat, the old pig doesn't need it, and neither does the pig. Being fat and thin is always appropriate. As far as killing pigs is concerned, the main technology is to strive for perfection without a hair. As far as cook the meat is concerned, what he pursues is temperature, hard and rotten, fat but not greasy, thin but not firewood; As far as ingredients are concerned, after years of exploration, five drugs with the strongest fragrance have been selected; As far as cake making is concerned, to achieve a moderate combination of crispness and water, the temperature of pancakes and bacon should be equal. Speaking of careful research, Manager Li is an expert in killing pigs. Be good at distinguishing the quality of meat. In order to chop a dozen mouthfuls of pork into smaller pieces and mix them together, we can also pick out these mixed pieces and put them back in the original pork pile. When it comes to features, the most prominent ones are soup stock, cook the meat and facial use. If it's missing, make it up. The longer the year, the better. Because of this, it can enjoy a good reputation.
