The Economic Development of Zhanghang Town
Hometown of vermicelli
Zhanghang Town is the origin and main producing area of "Longkou vermicelli" and enjoys the reputation of "Longkou vermicelli is the first town in the world". Longkou fans in Zhangxing Town are time-honored brands with a history of 150 years, and have won the "Jingui" award, the highest international food award.
In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Zhangxing Town began to produce mung bean vermicelli. In the fifth year of Qing Jiaqing (1800), a vermicelli workshop with mung beans as raw materials was opened in the north of lizhuang village. In the 29th year of Qing Daoguang (1849), Xu and others from Xujiacun in this town operated a "Fuju" store in Zhao Cheng. Later, his people successively set up powder farms such as Jutaifu and Hongtaifu, and bought fans and shipped them to Yantai. In the tenth year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty (1860), the four major flour mills of the Xu family jointly set up a "Hongtai" dealership in Hong Kong to buy mung bean fans produced in Zhaoyuan, which were shipped out of Longkou and sold to Southeast Asia and Western Europe through Hong Kong, and the words "Longkou fans" were marked on the packaging. Since then, mung bean fans have been called "Longkou fans". Longkou vermicelli is known as the "king of vermicelli" by domestic and foreign markets because of its fine and even silk strips, pure and transparent light quality, tough and soft texture, refreshing taste and the effect of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat.
After the opening of Longkou Port, Zhaoyuan people set up noodle farms in Longkou to increase exports, which gradually made Longkou fans famous at home and abroad. In the 1920 ~ 1930 s, the production and sales of Zhaoyuan fans reached their peak. The output of Shi Zhaoyuan's fans is equivalent to the total output of other counties in Shandong, and most of them are produced by fans in Zhanghang. From 65438 to the early 1970s, vermicelli production developed from a workshop to a professional manufacturer. 1980s realized the leap from manual processing to mechanical processing.
2 1 century, the processing equipment of vermicelli changed from mechanization to modernization and automation, and new products such as instant vermicelli and straight vermicelli were developed, and famous brands such as "Guanzhu" and "Judy" were cultivated. In September 2002, Zhaoyuan was awarded the title of "Fans Capital of China" by China Agricultural Society. In 2005, there were 74 vermicelli production and processing enterprises in the town, and the main products were Longkou vermicelli, miscellaneous grains vermicelli and bean protein. In 2005, the output of dried noodles in the whole town was 6.5438+500,000 tons, and the soybean protein was 60,000 tons, earning 23 million US dollars through export.
