Make mince of live lean pork skin and use it as stuffing (if you are more sophisticated, you can put live peeled shrimp meat, which will taste more delicious)
Mechanical thin skin
The soup is not easy to adjust, it seems to be a seafood seasoning from Fujian.
The method is very simple. Put your palms flat and put your fingers together, put the skin on the four fingers close to the mouth of the bowl, use a chopstick to push some stuffing to the center of the skin. Just pinch it and it's ready.
Delicious wontons
Why are "Qianlixiang" wontons famous in the capital? The main thing is that the wontons here are well made. "Qianlixiang" has been selling wontons since its opening. Except for the years of the "Cultural Revolution", its main products are wontons and sesame seed cakes. Its wontons are characterized by thin skin, fine fillings, good soup and a wide range of condiments. The wonton wrappers of "Qian Li Xiang" are said to be as thin as paper. If you put the wrappers on a newspaper, you can see the words on it. The filling is thin, which refers to the proportion of how many vegetables are matched with how much meat filling. The meat should be used at the tip of the front buttocks, with seven parts lean and three parts fat, so the filling is very even. For a bowl of wontons, 10 wonton skins make one or two packets of fillings, which together make two or two taels. Basically, there is no difference. "Qianlixiang"'s wontons are all handmade on site. Making wontons is also called pushing wontons, and the deftness of the hands is amazing. There are two masters in each shift, which can feed more than 3,000 people. On average, they can push more than 100 wontons in one minute.
The soup of "Qianlixiang" is a must-have. The soup used to cook the wontons is made from large pig bones and takes about 6 hours to cook. The soup should be rich in flavor and not greasy. Since the bone soup contains calcium, many elderly people like this soup for this reason. The ingredients of "Qianlixiang" pay attention to the word "whole", including seaweed, coriander, winter vegetables, shrimp skin, egg skin, etc. The reporter wrote a report two years ago, "Beijing's winter vegetables are gone." Winter vegetables are an indispensable ingredient for Beijing-style wontons. "Qianli Xianghou" ran a lot of errands in order to buy winter vegetables, and finally found a manufacturer in Qingxian County, Hebei Province. Now Qingxian's potted winter vegetables have become a special offering of "Qianli Xianghou".
In the 1950s, "Qianlixiang" was already famous in the capital. At that time, Bamiancao was relatively close to the Jixiang Theater and the People's Art Theater in Beijing. After the performances, some famous actors often went to Qianlixiang to have a bowl of wontons and two sesame pancakes as a late-night snack. Although wontons are inconspicuous, they often appear on the banquet. Back then, Premier Zhou hosted banquets with foreign guests and invited the masters of "Qianlixiang" to visit several times. Chen Baozeng (who is over 60 years old this year), the nephew of Chen Qing'an, one of the seven founders of "Qianlixiang", wrote a recall article "I Make Wontons for the Prime Minister" a few years ago, describing these situations in detail. In the early 1960s, the chefs of "Qianlixiang" participated in the national cooking technology competition and won the gold medal. They were received by national leaders such as Li Xiannian and Peng Zhen. At the Beijing Cooking Technology Competition held not long ago, Qianlixiang's wontons won a bronze medal, and at the Popular Banquet Food Festival, their wonton banquet won a gold medal.
The small wontons have made the brand name "Qianlixiang" famous. How to use this golden sign to develop my country's fast food industry has always been a topic that Xinghua Food Company has been thinking about. As a time-honored brand, "Qianlixiang" once had a history worth showing off. However, in the face of fierce market competition in the catering industry, if we still follow the prescription and adopt the original small workshop-style production model, we obviously cannot keep up. At the beginning of this year, Xinghua Food Co., Ltd. invested 1.2 million yuan to fully renovate "Qianlixiang", giving it a new look, re-adjusting the store, and increasing the business area. The major change is the method of making wontons, which has been comprehensively reformed in accordance with scientific and standardized methods while retaining tradition.
The old business model of "Qianlixiang" is: each employee can do everything from rolling out the dough, making stuffing, making soup, and serving. Now, people are appointed according to their positions, and they are responsible for rolling out the dough and stuffing. , just cook, and serve alone. In the past, stuffing and crusting were all done together, but now we have found a separate location (due to the high cost of land in Wangfujing, so we try to increase the business area) to build a central kitchen exclusively for the store. In the past, customers bought the cards and went to the counter to serve the wontons themselves. Now, the service is delivered to the table and the account is settled after eating. In the past, "Qianlixiang" had a single variety, with only one kind of wonton filling. In addition to wontons, it only sells sesame cakes and side dishes. Now, they asked technicians and nutritionists to repeatedly ponder and identify, and the number has been increased to 28 varieties, with 5 kinds of fillings for wontons alone. There are 4 types of sesame cakes. In addition, there are noodles, shaomai, xiaolongbao and a wonton feast. In the past, wontons were cooked in the original soup and scooped out. Now I use the noodle basket to cook alone, and the soup is simmered in another pot. The soup is divided into several kinds of stick bones and old chicken. When it is cooked enough, pour the soup on it. There are no more than 10 in a basket. In the past, I used a big pot to cook them directly. , it’s easy for people to notice the unevenness, but now they no longer have these worries.
These changes in the time-honored brand "Qianlixiang" are refreshing to Beijingers. You said how can a time-honored brand not change at all? The value of a time-honored brand lies in its gold content. After "Qianlixiang" reopened, it has been flooded with customers every day. Even though its business area is only more than 300 square meters and it sells wontons for three or four yuan a bowl, its turnover averages 20,000 yuan every day. Above, the peak reached more than 30,000. This kind of economic benefit makes some big restaurants and restaurants chew their tongues.
Since the wontons and other snacks sold by "Qianlixiang" have been basically standardized, and customers are waiting to be seated in the old store, Xinghua Food Company will use this golden sign to open chain stores one after another. Currently, it has opened 4 stores , at the same time, they plan to learn from the experience of foreign fast food restaurants in operation and management, so that this time-honored brand will be rejuvenated. Maybe in a few years, "Thousand Mile Fragrance" will bloom everywhere in the capital.
How can a time-honored brand regain its glory? The experience of "Qianlixiang" is worth learning
