It has been more than 30 years since the opening of Dingji Mutton Soup Restaurant. Ding Xianwei, the boss, went to Baoji City, Shaanxi Province to study under Zhao Changhai at the age of 19. Zhao Changhai has been killing sheep and selling mutton soup for generations, but it is the third generation in Zhao Changhai, so the Zhao family has its own unique skills and methods in killing sheep and cooking soup. Three years later, Ding Xianwei returned from his studies and opened a Dingji mutton soup restaurant in Lingtou Township, Ruzhou City. While doing business, he studied and explored the method of making mutton soup. After more than 30 years, Ding Xianwei constantly summed up experience, explored innovation and collected the strengths of various sects, and finally created the formula of Lao Dingjia's four seasons mutton soup. He selected all kinds of precious medicinal materials and the first-class goat meat for unique cooking, and then matched it with the secret recipe handed down by Zhao Jiazu to make the soup delicious.
