The old shops lining Zhengyang Street in the old days were numerous, and the ancillary products derived from the big stage, in addition to gongs, rouge, including the doorway of the sliver of snacks, that a mouth-watering name - "Ma Shaojiao", The story behind the mouth-watering names - "Ma Shumai", "Li Liangui bacon cake" - is implicit in their respective stories.

While it cannot be considered an authentic commercial street, Zhengyang Street is crisscrossed with Zhongjie Street and occupies a geographical advantage, so it is more or less tainted with the flavor of business. And those engraved in the old Shenyang people's memory of the name of the business, once unearthed, will emit a tantalizing charm. This charm spread in the air, accompanied by the former Imperial City of the Palace in the past, recording the history of the old city of Shenyang changes. Now the big stage is still there, just renamed "Liu Laogan", but that had been named after the big stage twist, fried cake is no longer found. From the few records show that the "big stage twists" also called "Zhang twists", by the Taian County Huangshatuozi village Zhang Xingde in 1926. In 1941, Zhang Xingde family came to Shenyang, the first in the small East Gate opened a sisal workshop; Zhang Xingde son Zhang Hanyu presided over the operation of the sisal workshop in 1948 moved to the "Grand Stage" near the theater, so the "Grand Stage sisal" will be called to open up.

In 1948, the workshop was moved to the vicinity of the theater.

In the memories of the old people, the crunchy Big Stage Sesame Flower was unmatched by today's delicacies. Initially, the big stage twist selling point in the west side of the big stage hutong mouth, and later with the business boom, the big stage twist began to have their own store, no longer sell stalls. Old people in the neighborhood recalled: "At that time, everyone was lining up to buy the twists, and how crispy were the twists? To tell you may not believe, a twist pick up less than half a meter high, and then so dropped on the table, the twist all broken into small pieces, no exaggeration. "The south end of Zhengyang Street had a building called Lianfengtang, Lianfengtang is what? Old people joked that the last word can remind you of its use, in fact, it is a bath hall in the old Shenyang City is not rare.

Data records, Lianfeng Hall was built in 1913, by the Dalian people Zhang provincial three and several other people funded 7000 yang. Lianfeng Hall's name is also taken from Dalian, Fengtian two names in the end of the word with the first word combined. Since its construction, Lianfeng Hall and the middle street of the Golden Orchid Pavilion, the North City of the Chengying Spring, Tiexi Fengda and known as the four major baths in Fengtian.

When Shenyang people recognized bathing as an indispensable part of their lives, public **** baths began to develop. When Lianfengtang was first built, it was a low-rise bungalow like many small-scale baths, and the arrangement was quite simple. However, even with the primitive method of drilling wells and boiling water in cauldrons, it was not easy for the baths to reach such a level in China at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China. With the continuous improvement of business methods, in 1924, Lianfengtang began to expand, built a small two-story building, the bath also began to be divided into ordinary and elegant rooms of different standards. The expanded Lian Bong Tang was much better than the smaller baths in terms of interior facilities, not only spacious and bright, but also in terms of good hygiene, spacious lockers, and simple resting beds with towels printed with the word "bath" for the guests.

Because of its location on Zhengyang Street, Lianfengtang has attracted the bosses and shopkeepers of some of the biggest businesses on the south end of the street, thanks to its prime location and high-class service. The upper class people inside the Shuai Fu at the north end of the street also frequented the restaurant, and it was recorded that Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling had patronized Lianfengtang many times. For this reason, Lianfeng Hall specially set up an official pool on the second floor for these figures to bathe and rest.

Until the sixties of last century, the business is quite prosperous, door to door bathing guests, the bath inside the pedicure master was even named Shenyang city's model worker. However, the old bath did not escape the rules of history out, it quietly disappeared in Zhengyang Street and Shengjing Road, the intersection of that one. Nowadays, there is no trace of Ma Shaojiao on Zhengyang Street, but it is rumored that this famous snack did originate here.

Back in the first year of the Jiaqing period in the Qing Dynasty, a businessman named Ma Chunsheng started a siu mai business in Fengtian Province. He pushed the wheelbarrow to the small west gate to the grain market and other lively places, with the car with raw materials and cooking utensils, the side of the package while selling. Due to the Ma Chunsheng's fine selection of raw materials, unique formula, attracted a lot of customers. Daoguang eight years, Ma Chunsheng's son Guangyuan in the small west gate barricade set up outside the door, officially hung up the "horse shumai" plaque. From then on, Ma Shaojie business is getting more and more popular, and customers are coming to the door all day long.

Qing Guangxu years, General Chongshi's subordinate Gaoqiao general town record name Governor Zuo Bao Gui was ordered to repair the Xiaoximen City Tower, Ma Shaojie's business naturally affected, and Ma Shaojie has a lot of customers at the moment, so these people are quite dissatisfied with this, and hope that the construction will not deprive them of their blessings. Hearing this voice, Zuo Bao Gui some curiosity, he was wondering what kind of baked goods can make people so obsessively chasing, so he tasted it himself, felt wonderful, but also feel that the people's voices are not unreasonable, so Zuo Bao Gui licensed horse baked goods another place, in the small west gate near the other two houses, re-open the horse baked goods museum, and personally inscribed plaques, after several generations, resulting in the snacks have been passed down to the present.

To this day.

In 1915, the horse shumai and by the horse long Yong passed on to the descendants of the two brothers Ma Hongfang and Ma Mingqing business, until 1948, the two brothers due to old age, business is unable to, when open and stop. After the founding of New China, in order to carry forward the characteristics of national flavor, Ma Siu Mai was invited out again, and the fifth generation of the Ma family inherited the ancestral business, Ma Jiting. To date, only Li Liangui's smoked meat cakes remain on Zhengyang Street.

Data records, Li Liangui smoked meat cake for Hebei Province, Luan County, Liuzhuang people Li Liangui in 1908 in Lishu County, Siping, has been nearly a hundred years of history.

According to legend, in the spring of 1908, Li Liangui fled to Lishu County, opened a small restaurant that operates the hanging oven cakes and bacon. In a change of heart, the old Chinese medicine doctor high quality of the ancestral recipe for smoked meat with more than a dozen flavors of valuable Chinese herbs told Li Liangui, under the guidance of the old man, Li Liangui on the preparation of medicinal materials, selection of meat, cut meat, raising soup, and noodles, fire and other processes of study and experimentation, and finally produced a unique flavor of Li Liangui smoked meat cakes.

Several years later, Li Liangui died of illness, and his stepson Li Yao inherited his father's business. 1937, Li Yao moved from Lishu to Siping City, and established the Siping Li Liangui Smoked Meat Pancake Shop, and Li Liangui Smoked Meat Pancake has since taken root and settled in Siping.

In 1950, Li Yao's son Li Chunsheng came to Shenyang from Siping with a pot of old soup on his back, and opened Li Liangui smoked meat pancake store in Guangshengtang Hutong at the south-west corner of the Drum Tower at the west end of Shenyang's busiest Middle Street, and the store's business was booming, recognized by the people of Shenyang.

However, in the 1960s, Li Liangui bacon cake was an unexpected catastrophe, the store was smashed, forced to sell rice and pot dishes. Li Chunsheng in order to preserve the flavor, despite the labor of the whole day chores, insisted on boiling the old soup once a week, so lasted for ten years. It was not until 1979 that the plaque for Li Liangui's smoked meat cakes was hung up again.
