Yongweitang Meaning Yongweitang means "eternal taste" and has a feeling of nostalgia and longing.
Originated from Fengyang, Anhui, then moved to Fujian, and finally flourished among the Gaoshan tribe in Taiwan. It is famous both inside and outside the island for its pure handmade and original ecological production technology.
Regarding its origin and development history, it is said that its founder was originally named Li San, and his ancestors made a living by buying tofu. His brewing technology is excellent and he is well-known in Fengyang City.
Originally, he was running this small business safely, but the current situation was turbulent, rebels were everywhere, and some scoundrels even took the opportunity to burn, kill, and loot. People often came to cause trouble.
Once again, someone came to trouble him, and Zhu Chongba (Zhu Yuanzhang), a monk who became a monk, came to his rescue. The two got acquainted and hit it off.
Not long after, Zhu Yuanzhang received a letter from his friend Tang He. After reading it, he immediately took off his monk's robe and returned to secular life to join Guo Zixing's rebel army.
Under Zhu Yuanzhang's persuasion, Li San also gave up the business of selling tofu and joined the rebel army.
As Zhu Yuanzhang's status in the army became higher and higher, the contradiction between the two gradually became acute.
In desperation, Li San gave up the idea of ??joining the army to save the country, secretly ran to Chen Youliang's camp, and continued to make a living selling tofu at the rebel camp.
The weather was hot that year, so all the officers and soldiers in the army ate tofu to satisfy their hunger. However, tofu was hard by nature, and the weather was too hot, so it was difficult for the soldiers to digest it after eating it.
So, Li San thought hard, and finally suddenly thought that he could make this thing thinner to help digestion, because this is recorded in medical skills.
Unexpectedly, when this milk came out, it was warmly welcomed by everyone, so Li San named it "soy milk" according to his own ideas.
Not one day later, news came from the city that Zhu Yuanzhang had ascended the throne. At the same time, there was news that the emperor was looking for him. Li San was shocked because all the unhappiness between him and Zhu Yuanzhang in the past might become the subject of others' remarks.
With the help of friends, he successfully escaped to Fujian.
Fujian was a barbarian land at that time, with an abnormal climate and a sparse population. Li San had no choice but to cross the Taiwan Strait and go to Taiwan Island, where he settled among the Gaoshan people.
When people are in a foreign land, they miss their hometown more than ever.
When Li San was 30 years old, he founded the Yongweitang brand.
In Taiwan, it opened many branches in succession and its reputation increased greatly.
In 1662, Zheng Chenggong led tens of thousands of soldiers from Xiamen and landed at Heliao Port in Taiwan, defeating the Dutch colonists and regaining Taiwan.
At that time, Li Sheng, who was the 6th generation owner of Yongweitang, led celebrities from all walks of life on the island to cheer the Qing army's entry into Taiwan, and distributed free soy milk to the soldiers at various garrison offices on the island.
After the soldiers drank heavily, they all exclaimed that it was magical, and then the name Yongweitang became even more famous.
Now with the progress of the times, various competitors are constantly using new technologies to achieve higher output, but Yongweitang people are still walking firmly with their own footsteps, and on the basis of the original soy milk
, has successively developed health foods that respect the original ecology, such as black soy milk, rice milk, mochi cakes, and Shaqima.
