This company can be said to be the leader and representative of Shaoxian Shaomai industry. Different from the meat stuffing of Beijing Shaomai and the glutinous rice stuffing of Jiangnan Shaomai, the stuffing of Shaxian Shaomai is made from a mixture of vermicelli, diced pork, diced bamboo shoots, and diced mushrooms. In the breakable skin, when they are freshly released from the cage, they are pink and trembling and crowded together. When eating, they are dipped in Shaxian's unique soy sauce. They are fragrant, smooth and delicious. They are a famous snack well-known far and wide.

It is said that the ancient people of Shaxian County went to Beijing to take the exam and took Shaxian sesame cakes with them as dry food on the way. After winning the first prize, they returned home and gave them the name "Zhuangyuan Cake". Shaobing, this pasta snack with the most ancient Central Plains characteristics, has taken root in Bancuo Lane in Shaxian County for thousands of years. The aroma of pancakes doesn’t have to worry about the depth of the alley. If you walk a few steps into Bancuo Alley, you can see the popular pandan and luolan pancakes. Both of these are family workshops that integrate processing and sales. Among them, Luolan Shaobing is more famous, but in terms of service attitude, Pandan Shaobing is even better.

Shaxian Bianrou evolved from wontons. Different places have different names for wontons, for example: Sichuan calls them "Chaoshou", Guangdong calls them "Wontons", Wuhan calls them "Baomian", Jiangxi calls them "Qingtang", Jiangsu calls them "Huai dumplings", and Xinjiang calls them "Ququ". "etc. There are many kinds of flat pork in the north and south, and most diners think Shaxian snacks are very famous. Among the dazzling array of delicacies in Shaxian, flat pork is the most popular snack. It won the title of "Chinese Famous Snack" as early as 1997. However, the flat pork you eat locally in Shaxian County really doesn’t feel the same quality as what you eat elsewhere.

Shaxian Chengguan Miaomen Bianrou is famous. Many people come to Sanming to have a bowl, even if they have to queue up for a long time. The meat filling of Shaxian Bianrou is pounded by hand with a wooden mallet. Making minced meat is a laborious and technical job. To make a delicious bowl of flat meat, meat filling, dough and stock are all indispensable. The meat filling made by hand is more solid and elastic, and the plump meat filling can be seen through the thin dough. Taking another sip of the soup made from pork bones is really satisfying.

In addition to flat pork, they also sell other snacks such as noodles, taro dumplings, tofu balls, etc.

This is probably the most controversial time-honored store in Shaxian County. Many locals say it has become a tourist store, but this does not affect its popularity at all. It is said that Feijie has been open for more than 20 years. The old store is right next to the rope bridge and sells many types of food. There are everything from "big dishes" like salted duck to Xia Mao noodles and duck blood soup that are suitable for one person.

My favorite is the salted duck. Shaxian salted duck is a traditional family delicacy in rural Shaxian County, and is known as "cured duck" among the people. Its origins date back to the Zhou Dynasty three thousand years ago. The finished product is flat in shape, yellow in color, has a delicious meaty aroma, is moderately salty, has a refreshing fragrance and is not greasy, and does not require any seasoning.

Shaxian snacks have a long history. They originated from the Chinese food culture in the Yellow River Basin of the Central Plains during the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Jin and Song Dynasties. They have a strong historical and cultural foundation among the people and are especially famous for their wide variety, unique flavor and economic benefits.
