History of pigskin production in Quexiang Village

There is a Chenghai District in Chaoshan, a Longdu Town in Chenghai District, and a small village called Quexiang Village in Longdu Town. Quexiang Village is famous for mass production of an authentic and unique meat product-"stir-fried pork skin".

The history of pigskin production in Quexiang Village can be traced back to the early days of liberation. After years of development, Quexiang Village has now formed a clear and complete "fried pigskin" industrial chain. The villagers perform their duties according to different production processes: every morning, the villagers who are responsible for purchasing pigskin go out to buy fresh pigskin, and when they come back, they give it to others for degreasing, depilation, drying and frying. Each process is handled by a special person. It is reported that from the purchase of fresh pigskin to the release of products, each pigskin has to go through a processing period of about half a month.

"Fried pigskin" generally has to go through more than 10 processes, such as boiling to remove oil, depilating, washing, drying and frying, and each process has strict requirements, otherwise the product quality will be affected. In terms of material selection, the pigskin selected for "fried pigskin" must be fresh pigskin slaughtered on the same day to ensure the quality of fried pigskin; The sand used for "frying pigskin" is collected from the Han River, and the size and weight of the sand must be uniform; The fuel of "fried pigskin" is not ordinary gas, but litchi wood produced in Fujian and Guangdong, because litchi wood has the advantages of uniform firepower and flame resistance. Technically, the most important thing to make "stir-fried pork skin" is that the producer must control the heat very accurately, otherwise there will be scorching and other situations, which will lead to all previous efforts being wasted.

The "fried pork skin" produced in Quexiang Village is not only refreshing and crispy, but also suitable for frying, stewing, boiling and stewing, and it is also a beauty product. Long-term consumption is conducive to maintaining the skin and is a special food on the table. Therefore, the "fried pigskin" in Quexiang Village is often in short supply. Products are not only supplied to all parts of the country, but also exported to Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore and Thailand and the United States on the other side of the ocean, becoming a "local product" favored by many overseas Chinese.
