When it comes to "Pie Week", people who have a certain knowledge of food will think of Beijing's "Tong Ju Guan". "Pie Zhou", whose nickname is Zhou Xiaoting, is from the Han ethnic group and later embraced Islam. For nearly 100 years, three generations of his ancestors have made a living from pie. The original "Pie Week" was just a small cart selling pies and porridge. Later, he opened a shop called Tongjuguan on Meishi Street outside Qianmen and started a regular pie business. There is a poem in "Hundred Odes of Food in the Old Capital" that says: "Living in Chang'an is not enough to worry about, and the common people have enough food. To this day, passing by the Media Market Street, there is still the Pie Week in those days."

Now we want to What I am looking for is not the famous “Pie Week” in Beijing, but the “Pie Week” in Harbin.

This dates back to 1932. This "Pie Week" that left a name in the history of Harbin's food was called Zhou Hanchen. From the historical materials, we can find very few words about Zhou Hanchen. Only in the historical materials about the "Yong'an" is Zhou Hanchen's name. "Yong'an Hao" is the predecessor of Harbin Beilaishun. The following text is the recollection of Liu Hongen, the former manager of the Yong'an:

In the 11th year of the Republic of China (1922), I came to Harbin from Huangshanqian Village, Jiayongcheng County, Shandong. After getting off the train and walking a short distance, look, there are many foreign-style houses on both sides of the street, and there are foreign shops and bars one after another. There were some foreigners with yellow hair and blue eyes walking on the street, and foreign carriages were running around, which dazzled me. I came to Harbin expecting to find a good job, but I didn’t expect that finding a decent job in Harbin is very difficult and usually requires two job seekers. When I came to Harbin, except for my uncle, I had no idea where to find a shop assistant, so I had to work in the "Lai Laixuan" restaurant opened by my uncle. I worked there for 10 years. Later, because my uncle had no intention of running the "Lai Laixuan" restaurant, he spent all day eating, drinking and having fun, making the restaurant so noisy that it could only stay open. I looked at it and realized that if you were still dawdling in "Lai Laixuan", you would never get ahead. So, I had to find another way. Zhou Hanchen, who heard about the famous "Pie Week" in Harbin, opened the "Yonganhao" restaurant at No. 35, Daoli Xincheng Street (today's Shangzhi Street). This person was born as a waiter and is very capable in business. Start having a “pie week” with someone else. Later, he changed "Pie Week" to "Yongan Hao" and was the first to operate mutton hotpot in Harbin. Another popular snack restaurant called "Xiao Yong'an Hao" was opened outside the road. Wing On Restaurant has shown great success since the beginning and has made a lot of profits. I thought that only by joining the Yongan Company could I get ahead, so in August 2011, I joined the Yongan Company and became the accountant.

From the memories of Mr. Liu Hongen, we can know that "Pie Week" was very famous in Harbin at that time. Zhou Hanchen's experience from a waiter to the famous "Pie Week" must have been wonderful. Unfortunately it is no longer available. Zhou Hanchen and Beijing's "Pie Week" should have a certain origin, which also shows that Beijing's food has a profound impact on Harbin. This origin can be seen from the Harbin time-honored brands inherited today, such as Laodu Yiyi, Zhengyang Tower, Donglaishun, Laochujia, etc. "Pie Week" Zhou Hanchen was very active in Harbin as a celebrity in the catering industry at that time. He should have operated no less than two restaurants. Among them, "Yong'an", today's Beilaishun, has become one of Harbin's time-honored brands operating into the 21st century. one.
