The birthplace of Liumei roast chicken handmade craftsmanship is Leting County, Hebei Province, located in the southeast of Tangshan City. It is also the birthplace of Leting drum. The Liumei roast chicken handmade craftsmanship was created by the founder, Mr. Liu Jun, who, based on the ancestral stewed meat that has been passed down for more than 200 years, has devoted himself to research and pioneered the shaping of roast chicken in my country, and became famous for it. According to the "Leting County Chronicles", in 1897, Liu Jun and his grandfather Liu Chong, who moved from Ligezhuang, a small village by the sea in Leting County, to the south gate of the county, hung up the plaque of "Liuji Roast Chicken Shop" and started the business of the shop. The business was booming. In 1905, Liu Tan, who was a second-rank sword-bearing guard beside Emperor Guangxu at the time, returned to his hometown to visit his relatives. After tasting Liuji roast chicken, he felt that the color, fragrance and taste were good, but the whole chicken was not elegant when placed. Later, the shape was changed to insert a wing of the white-striped chicken through the knife edge of the chicken neck and out of the chicken mouth, so that the chicken head and chicken neck were close to the side of the chicken's back with the chicken wing. , the other chicken wing is naturally bent, and then the chicken claw is curled into the abdominal cavity. After it is formed, it is put into the pot of ancestral old soup, and 28 kinds of precious Chinese herbs are added. The roast chicken is placed there, and it is like a naked chicken sleeping without feathers, with both spirit and form. In the autumn of 1906, Liu Tan, who had entered the Summer Palace as the bodyguard of Empress Dowager Cixi, returned to his hometown to visit his relatives again. He brought dozens of chickens back to Beijing and presented them to Empress Dowager Cixi and the princes. When Empress Dowager Cixi saw and tasted the Liuji roast chicken presented by Liu Tan, she was very pleased and named it "Liu Mei Roast Chicken". Liu Mei Roast Chicken It is a famous food in northern my country, sold in Beijing, Tianjin, Tang, Qin and the three northeastern provinces (currently sold to 18 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions across the country). Its unique combination of color, fragrance, taste and shape, especially pioneered the shaping of roast chicken in my country (the shape has been patented by the state), completely breaking the problem of roast chicken with two claws and two wings sticking out and drooping neck, which is very unsightly in the past, and promoting the development of the shape technology of whole chicken in my country's roast chicken industry. As a delicious food, Liumei roast chicken has the effects of invigorating the spleen and stomach, refreshing the mind, and strengthening the body. As a topic to be solved in food culture, it enriches its profound connotations, has been passed down for a hundred years, and has lasted for a long time, which is rare. After the reform and opening up, with the continuous development and growth of Liumei Industry, it has promoted the adjustment of the rural agricultural industrialization structure.
