How did the history of Gaotang dried vegetables come about

In 1751 (the 16th year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty), the processing of agricultural products in Gaotang had a great reputation in the Chaoshan area. The 14th generation ancestor, Zhang Gong, founded the "Lao Yusheng" trading company, which opened up the domestic eastern coastal markets of Suzhou and Shanghai on the "Red Head Boat" in Zhanglin. Therefore, there was a popular saying at that time that "Gaotang dried vegetables were better than Shanghai pig tongues"; In 1820 (during the reign of Emperor Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty), the 15th generation ancestor Kaiwei promoted the "Lao Yusheng" brand and launched the "Golden Chicken" brand. Dried vegetables were packed in wooden barrels with bamboo leaves and transported to Siam (Thailand). It is said that each batch of shipping could reach 150 tons. "Eating dried vegetables and thinking about home" became a way for the wanderers to miss and express their feelings for their loved ones in Tangshan. This is evidence of the export of "Yusheng" high-end pickled vegetables. In 1988 (after the reform and opening up), Wu Zexiong, the 23rd generation ancestor of Yusheng, continued to maintain the industry of the "Yusheng" trade name. In 1998, guided by the agricultural industrialization policies of the Party and the government, he founded "Raoping County Gaotang Yusheng Food Co., Ltd.", which inherited the "Yusheng" secret recipe from the previous generation and combined modern scientific packaging technology to strengthen and expand the brand. Yusheng Food's Delicious Family owns sub brands such as "Gaotang", "Gaotang Sister in law", "Gaotang dried vegetables", "Xinzhongyuan", etc. Especially, the "Gaotang Sister in law" brand is a leading brand in dried vegetables. It pioneered small packaging dried vegetables in 1998 and has maintained a leading position in sales among peers since its launch

Method of making Gaotang dried vegetables

Gaotang dried vegetables are delicious and sweet. In addition to the excellent quality of radishes, they also have a unique pickling method: when pickling, dig a hole in the sand according to the number of radishes. Before pickling, remove the leaves from the pulled up radishes and soak them in a salt water bucket for a while. After removing them, place them one by one on a relatively flat ground to sun dry. That evening, soak the radish slices in the salt water bucket for a while, then collect them in the hole and sprinkle an appropriate amount of coarse salt on each layer of radish slices. Cover the dried vegetables with straw. After repeated operation for two or three days, the radish slices have gradually become soft. Next, put the radish slices into the Hori, sprinkle a thin layer of salt, and have a person stand barefoot on the Hori and gently step on them, allowing the salt particles to seep into the radish slices. The next day, the radish slices were spread on the ground to bask in the sun. In three or four days, wash the radish slices one by one with clean water, then put them into a grain basket, sprinkle thin salt, cover them with clean straw or sugarcane leaves, and press them with stones to squeeze out the acidic water in the radish slices. In the future, arrange the radish slices on a grain basket or bamboo fence and sun dry them continuously for three to four days. After the radish slices are 80% dry, add ingredients such as star anise powder, aged wine, and brown sugar, gently knead them, and compact them in a jar. Seal the jar tightly, and after about a month, it will be the fragrant and fragrant preserved cabbage. Method of consumption: 1. Wash and tear open, send rice directly, often eaten for breakfast; 2.
