One-stop mutton restaurant name
The Muslim one-stop mutton restaurant on Qianmenwai Street, whose real name is Nanhengshun mutton restaurant. Founded in the fifty years of Qing Qianlong (1785), it was founded by a Han surname in Yucheng, Shandong.
History
There are many Hui people in Yucheng, Shandong Province, and some of them are engaged in mutton trading in northern provinces and towns. In the old days, most mutton shops in Beijing were run by Shandong people. In about 44 years of Qing Qianlong (1779), a 14-or 15-year-old young man surnamed Han from Hanjiazhai, Yucheng, Shandong, went to Beijing to survive and worked as an apprentice in a mutton shop in Dongsipailou. This mutton shop not only sells raw meat, but also processes and sells homemade cooked food such as roasted mutton, beef with sauce and white sheep head meat, as well as baked sesame seed cakes and other foods. Han is smart and eager to learn, and his popularity is good. He quickly mastered the production techniques of various foods. After starting his career, he started to set up a stall in the south of Dongsi Pailou. In the fifty years of Qianlong (1785), because the shop was in the south of Dongsi Pailou, and he hoped that the business would be prosperous forever and everything would go well, he chose Nanhengshun. Later, I found a place to do business on the west side of Qianmen Street. With his hard-working skills, his business soon improved, not only building a house, but also recruiting people, which laid the foundation for future development.
When the business of Nan Hengshun spread to Han Tongli, the sixth generation of the Han family, a frontispiece's package house was built on the west of Qianmen Street, with the front door on Qianmen Street and the back door on Jewelry Market Street, and there was a hidden building above the house (Qianmen Outer Street was the only way for the emperor to go to the Temple of Heaven every year in Qing Dynasty, and the road was far less spacious than today). In order to prevent assassins, it is forbidden to build "Ming Lou" in Qianmen Outer Street. The variety of business has also increased instant-boiled mutton, stir-fry, mixed noodles, pulled noodles, etc. on the basis of the original simple variety, and the number of employees in the store has also increased to more than a dozen. They are hospitable, the meat is clean, and the business is booming. At the end of the reign of Emperor Tongzhi and the beginning of Guangxu, Nanhengshun built a shop, and from the mutton shop that used to sell only raw meat and some cooked meat, it added instant-boiled mutton, stir-fried dishes, mixed noodles, pulled noodles and other foods. Its instant-boiled mutton, mung bean mixed noodles, sesame paste biscuits and other foods were carefully selected, processed, fed and served. Flavor characteristics
What makes Nan Hengshun's instant-boiled mutton unique is its selection of ingredients. Nanhengshun has a stacking house at the west entrance of the grinding factory. There are several rooms in the stacking house to store all kinds of goods, and sheep are kept in the small yard for later use. Nan Hengshun specially sent people to buy Xikou sheep and Beikou sheep at the sheep market in Madian, outside Deshengmen, and absolutely did not use local sheep in Beijing. Xikou refers to Gansu and Ningxia. Xikou sheep group tail (small tail rolled inward), with small skeleton, white and fat powder, tender and tender, and long capillary, is also called "beach sheep" because it was born in the Yellow River floodplain. The biggest sheep in Xikou is fifty or sixty catties. Beikou sheep refers to Zhangjiakou, Zhangbei, Cullen and other areas. Beikou sheep is second only to Xikou sheep. The local sheep in Beijing are big-tailed, coarse-haired, coarse-fleshed and shy. Sheep dealers from the west and north ports all live in Madian, and Nan Hengshun drives the sheep from Madian to the pile to feed them for a few days, and then slaughters them when they are fat. Fine processing, sliced mutton thin. Slaughter the sheep, skin it, choose the hind legs of the sheep, find a clean place, put natural ice, cover it with a layer of foil, stack the mutton on it, cover it with tarpaulin, and press a piece of ice on the tarpaulin. This is called "pressing meat".
just like zhengyanglou, a dragon has sliced meat thinly, served in partial plates with complete condiments, and generally eats instant-boiled mutton, with sesame cakes as its staple food. Nanhengshun's sesame seed cake is also different from other places. A pot of flour is ten kilograms, and nine kilograms of flour is added with one kilogram of hair flour. Ten Jin of noodles should use one Jin of sesame paste. The sesame seed cake is baked on the pan first, then baked in the furnace, and then baked at the bottom, so that the sesame seed cake sauce is big and cooked. Crispy and palatable. Mung bean noodles can absorb greasy food. A bowl of mung bean noodles can not only absorb the floating oil in the fire pot, but also remove the oil from people's mouths. Therefore, the fine and even mung bean noodles are another delicacy of Nanhengshun. According to legend, in the twenty-third year of Guangxu (1897), Emperor Guangxu once had a meal in Nanhengshun mutton restaurant, and later everyone called it "one-stop". Since then, customers in Nanhengshun have been bustling, and business has been more prosperous in the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu. After the Gengzi Incident, one-stop building became three frontispiece, two-story underground shops. In the early summer of 1983, a dragon accidentally caught fire again, and the shop was burned down. Xindiantang was completed in the autumn of 1985. This is a three-story spacious and bright shop with Islamic style. Recently, with the start of the renovation project of Qianmen Street, the one-stop mutton restaurant has also moved out of Qianmen Street and settled down in Hongqiao.
