Legend has it that the meat is made from over thirty seasonings and served with aged soup, resulting in a soft and tender texture, a rosy color, and a rich and fragrant flavor. The reason why Liangpi and Roujiamo are put together is that they are the best partners. One portion of Rougamo is not enough, and two portions of Rougamo are a little greasy. Then let's have a bowl of Liangpi! There are many kinds of Liangpi, including rice crust, flour crust, and brewing crust. "Tendon", "thin", "thin", "Rang" are the biggest characteristics of Liangpi, which tastes sour, fragrant, and hot, and can be matched at will.
