1989, seeing the business opportunity that it is difficult for citizens to eat breakfast, 76-year-old Yao Moxian immediately switched from the electric welding business and started the breakfast shop. At that time, Yao's family couldn't cook fried liver. At that time, they invited a master, and the family followed suit, improving while learning, and also formed their own characteristics. In the 1990s, the fried liver shop was like the breakfast shop of the surrounding residents, and there were few foreign diners. However, with the booming tourism in Shichahai area, Yaoji fried liver shop became more and more famous, and the shop moved from the original East Street of Gulou to the foot of Gulou.

Because of its successful operation in Beijing's special snacks, Yaoji Fried Liver Shop has now become a famous representative of Beijing's famous snacks, and has been officially entered into tourist guide books such as "Playing China", "Beijing Raiders Completely Dominating the Overlord" and "Beijing Snack Map".
