Note that the donkey oil fire is not the donkey oil fire. The fire is everywhere, and the practices are different. However, we can't underestimate the "donkey oil fire" in Tai 'an. We have participated in the 11th National Games and the Shanghai World Expo, and the special materials and techniques make the baked meat crispy outside and tender inside, which tastes particularly fragrant. The donkey oil is a treasure, and the donkey oil is also a treasure. The fire made of donkey oil can be imagined.
