Is there a prototype of Sesame Hutong?

"Sesame Hutong" Qinfangju pickles have no prototype and no specific pickles garden. It exists independently, just to tell the life of old Beijingers and the production of pickles in old Beijing.

Recently, a film and television drama "Sesame Hutong" about pickles brought the audience's eyes to the old Beijing pickle garden. As a representative, Yan Zhensheng described the development of Qinfangju pickles.

Old Beijing pickles are very strict in every step from material selection to raw materials, and are also used as court side dishes. Some of the pickles are expensive, and high-grade and rare pickles are more expensive than meat, which is difficult for ordinary people to eat. At that time, the sauce was different from the sauce made of beans now. It is fermented with meat and can only be enjoyed by the court or nobles.
