China's famous time-honored brand "Quanjude" was founded in 1864 (three years of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty). Since 135, "Quanjude" has experienced many historical periods, ups and downs. After the founding of New China, under the care of the Party and the government, "Quanjude" got rid of the danger of being on the verge of bankruptcy, and gradually became stronger from weakness to prosperity. In May, 1993, China Beijing Quanjude Roast Duck Group Company was established, and the century-old store regained its glory.

yang shoushan, whose name is quan ren, is from yangjiazhai, Ji county, Hebei province. In the early years of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty, Yang Shoushan, who was clever and willing to work, went to Beijing and began to trade chickens and ducks. After a certain amount of savings, I sold the store "Dejuquan" selling dried and fresh fruits on Qianmen Street, and changed its name to Quanjude according to Mr. Feng Shui's words. At that time, the cheap shop in Mishi Hutong was booming, and the demand for roast duck was in short supply. Yang wants to roast the duck by roasting the pig. After many experiments by Yang Shoushan and his colleagues, the hanging roast duck finally succeeded. Its color and flavor are not inferior to braised roast duck. Quanjude didn't sell staple food at that time. When the guests come to eat, they should eat the staple food. Ask the little apprentice to buy pancakes and stir-fry in the small restaurant next door, and call them from Zhengyang Building, Tianfutang and Hongqing Building of Chaoshou Hutong in the meat market. After more than ten years of operation, it developed into a famous restaurant in Beijing during Xuantong and the Republic of China.

Quanjude can become a famous big restaurant, the first reason is that the materials are solid, the chefs are skilled and the operation is serious; Shopkeepers entertain customers warmly. In the second year of Xuantong in Qing Dynasty, Quanjude expanded its facade and converted it into a two-story building. In the shop, there are more than 21 single-room private seats besides a scattered seat that can accommodate forty or fifty people at the same time.

Roast duck is the main business variety of Quanjude, and it is meticulous in duck selection, feeding, slaughter and barbecue. Quanjude's selection of Beijing stuffed ducks pays attention to raising them for less than a hundred days and weighing more than five pounds before they can be slaughtered. After the ducks are slaughtered and depilated, dig a small hole under the duck's right arm, put two fingers into the hole, take out the duck's internal organs, then wash the duck inside and outside with clean water, blow the duck's skin with your mouth, insert a stalk into the duck's tail, then pour clean water into the hole under the duck's arm and sew the hole with silk thread. After everything is in order, hang the duck on the hook and bake it in the furnace. In this way, the duck is roasted outside and cooked inside, and the skin is oily yellow. When people eat imported duck meat, it is tender, fat but not greasy, delicious and sweet, which makes people never tire of eating it.

During the Republic of China, a famous chef, Xing Wu Yulai Quanjude, was invited from Tianjin Dengying Building. His cooking skills are superb, and the fried dishes are good in color, smell and taste. Three-non-sticky, steamed duck, crispy meatballs, walnuts and other dishes are his specialty dishes.

After Yang Shoushan's death, his son, Qing Yang, and other three brothers continued to run Quanjude. No.1 Quanjude semicolon was opened in Nanshi, Tianjin. Since then, Quanjude Roast Duck has enjoyed a good reputation in Beijing and Tianjin. Quanjude's business declined after the July 7th Incident.

after liberation, quanjude quickly recovered and developed. In 1951, in Beijing Xidan branch (later Hongbin Building). In 1959, it was in Wangfujing branch again. In 1964, the head office of Qianmen Wairou Market was expanded, and a spacious and bright new store was built in the front street of the old store, that is, the east of Qianwai Street, and an overpass was set up between the old and new stores to connect the old and new stores. In 1979, Beijing Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant was built in Hepingmen.

The heads of state, heads of state, prime ministers and officials of nearly 211 countries and regions, including Gary, Gu Song, Heath, Junshu Haibe, Lee Kuan Yew, La Gandhi and Prince Sihanouk, have visited the prestigious Quanjude.
