Industrial and Commercial South Gate Market. A visit to Yixiangzhai Chicken Essence Factory and a sincere apology to it

I don’t know if you still remember this (why should you remember such a boring thing). Anyway, three years ago, I came into contact with the product Drip Chicken Essence for the first time because of my pregnancy. At that time, I drank Yixiangzhai, an old store in Nanmen Market

It seems that my relationship with my husband is not bad. After learning about this, Yixiangzhai sent some chicken essence to repair my tire. It’s really cool. Jiu Ganxin

In recent years, many famous brands of dripping chicken essence have been produced, and even local dramas have been produced (surprise) (I am even more surprised that it is very expensive)

In order to let me and the public know how the chicken essence comes from, this time they invited me to visit the factory to understand the manufacturing process

I originally thought that I would just take the high-speed train to eat, drink and visit the factory with the focus on throwing away the bag, but unexpectedly This trip unexpectedly solved my misunderstanding about Yixiangzhai. Through this article, I want to say goodbye to it (bow).

The factory is located in Caotun, and it is produced by Shuangsheng Food Processing Factory. It is said to be the first factory in Taiwan to manufacture dripping chicken essence

There is Duozao, I heard that it was dripping 20 years ago, 20 years ago At that time, I was still a young girl, and Michael Jackson was still there (please shout an octave higher). People were still holding their noses and drinking black chicken essence that smelled fishy to me! I didn’t expect that there would be chicken essence drops at that time. Why didn’t you tell me earlier (who did you tell me?)

It turned out that my father, who was the owner of a factory, made chicken essence drops to take care of my grandmother who was sick and had a bad appetite. To replenish her body, this is a cooking method that has been in Taiwan for a long time. It was called "chicken glue"

When I heard this, I couldn't help but think of the previous Hong Kong movie "Zombie" because the slogan was to turn the corpse into a zombie. (As I get older, I can’t remember what happened just now and I still can’t forget the inexplicable things). It turns out that zombies and dripping chicken essence are both made.

The point is that looking at the poster, you would never have thought that the person was Wu Yaohan. Ah ah ah (is this the point?), he is already in his 70s or 80s, and he is still jumping around. He should be taking supplements normally. This shows how important supplements are (return)

Later, my neighbor saw it and thought it was nutritious and delicious. It worked, so I asked them if they could make more and sell it, so the chicken essence factory was born. The machine is not very big, and the chicken essence is being produced

To be honest, it was much different from what I thought. I originally thought It's a huge factory that produces 200,000 tons a day. Then, in order to worry about finding chickens, I thought about what shoes to wear. In the end, I didn't see any live chickens. They were frozen directly from qualified farms. Made of black-feathered native chicken (and it needs to be male, I heard that the meat is more oily and less oily) (it turns out that in the chicken world, females are also more oily, no wonder women are fatter) (Shit, Sui Tang is obviously very thin)

Anyway, there is no chicken poop in the factory and there is no strange smell. It is small but quite hygienic

So much will come out at one time, so you need to cover it to prevent the steam from entering and diluting it. Make sure that only the chicken ingredients are not stolen. After adding water, the chicken smells strong and super fragrant~ (Intoxicated)

I took out the chicken and only took out the essence below. I was shocked to find that it was not a mummy of the chicken after dripping. It looked quite good. They are tough and feel like they can still escape (preferably)

This is what they look like after six hours of dripping. I heard that other companies also use dripping for more than ten hours. Maybe that way they will look like mummies (right? ) Later I went to try the chicken legs, which actually had a bit of flavor. With some seasonings, it was almost the same as boiled chicken.

The bones were very soft and fell into pieces as soon as I picked it up, but I was still shocked that it was not a mummified corpse. So much chicken can only drip out of less than a third of the bucket. It looks oily when it is not filtered, but in fact it is Jinhua ham flavor, so there is some ham in it. Jinhua ham is delicious. The next step for you is to filter out impurities

I heard that the proportions have been adjusted for a long time. Too much ham will be too salty, too little, and tasteless. It’s hard to be a human being. This is nonsense. They When I was fishing, I also asked why there was jelly in the shrinkage.

It turns out that this is collagen, the collagen that women need most (grab a handful and take it home)

I regretted seeing this, because everyone said that raising the second child like a pig was no exception for me

The first child was very serious about taking things such as chicken essence drops and vitamins for pregnant women. I didn't even worry about the second pregnancy. But I heard that the second baby's belly will be very loose, so collagen is very important. It turned out that there was so much chicken essence in it, but I didn't drink much. Is this God trying to kill me?~~~After filtering, remove the oil, pack and sterilize, and then observe at room temperature for ten days to see if there is any deterioration

I took pictures but I was tired I don’t want to let go (willful)

It is emphasized that commercial sterilization uses the Pasteur disinfection method. I think this seems to us (brainless) consumers who have heard that forget it and who cares how to sterilize it. Ah

But wrong! That day I found out why most chicken essences on the market have to be frozen, but Yixiangzhai’s can be stored at room temperature. The reason is that it has gone through this troublesome sterilization process that also greatly increases the cost of packaging materials (because it requires sterilization and packaging) It needs to be thicker)

It turns out that freezing is only antibacterial. They add a high temperature or something (forgot what it is) to really sterilize

Why do we have to do this if it increases time and cost? As for the matter, the factory director said that because freezing only inhibits bacteria, although we will also throw it into the freezer when it reaches your home at extremely low temperatures in the factory, it is difficult to guarantee whether it will be safe on the way to delivery.

What's the matter with peanuts

It turns out that this is the secret of their ability to be stored at room temperature

To be honest, I don't care. The convenience of room temperature for me is that the more chicken essence you buy, the more you buy. The cheaper the product (housewife mentality)

This kind of supplement is meant to be consumed for a long time, but if you buy a bunch of it at once for the sake of cheapness, the refrigerator will be full. Isn’t it better to store it at room temperature?

Or like when I take it to the hospital to drink it at room temperature after giving birth, it is much more convenient to bring it and heat it up

I didn’t expect that there are also issues such as comprehensive sterilization and just bacteriostasis. There are so many things to learn in this world, why do you behave like this? Tired (shoulder hammer) I finally want to write about why I misunderstood it and I must apologize to it

I admit that when I wrote this three years ago, I didn’t drink from other restaurants. I simply regarded it as the old restaurant in Nanmen Market. The store, and the use of the powerful-sounding black-feathered local chicken, I feel that the quality is not bad, and it tastes delicious (again, I emphasize that Jinhua ham is very delicious)

I have been drinking it over the years. After trying three brands of chicken essence, I suddenly felt that Yixiangzhai’s was quite bland

I also checked the price and found that it was also the cheapest in the chicken essence industry, so I felt relieved about the bland taste< /p>

I thought it was a bit rare but cheap and acceptable

So later some friends or netizens asked me privately about the quality of Yixiangzhai. I honestly said that I think their taste is bland, but It’s also the cheapest in the industry, let’s see if you don’t mind that.

When I visited the factory that day, I told them that I thought yours tasted bland. I’ve tried other brands and found them to be more concentrated

The factory manager first asked me if you pay attention to the ingredients. I said the ingredients of chicken essence are chicken, what else else

He said that in fact, many brands have more than that

Me I was so shocked that I immediately checked it on my phone, only to find out that some of the ones I drank that seemed strong had pork added and some added red dates

It was clearly written as the original flavor, but it turned out there was something else in it! ! Aren’t you afraid that Muslims will drink it (somehow you care about this)

Next is the sterilization function. They say that sterilization will lose a little flavor, which is insurmountable.

But I think it is convenient to kill it. I felt reassured, so I continued to kill it. There was no difference in nutrition, but the taste was really lighter***

I thought to myself, how could it be possible, so I did a test on the same day, and showed off the freshly made and After sterilization

The one on the left is freshly made and the one on the right is the finished product

Looking at the photo, I think the oil is a bit oily when it is just made. In fact, it seems to have been filtered, but it needs to be filtered a few times. Daocai is what we drank

It turns out that the extinguished one really tastes less strong. Is it because it has passed the high temperature? It is really a mystery

Here is the taste of Yixiangzhai The mystery of the blandness was finally solved. It turned out that it was not cutting corners or using chicken that was not plump.

It took more time (sterilization and observation for ten days after sterilization to see if there was any deterioration) and money. (The packaging material needs to be thicker and the sterilizer is not cheap either) For peace of mind

I was also spread the rumor that it was lighter because it was cheaper. Do I have to kneel down and apologize?

But I think they will forgive me because I am a pregnant woman, and it is human nature to think about it. After introducing the factory, I sincerely apologized, and in the end I had to come to the industrial and commercial service.

That day The factory director said that everyone can actually take the drops at home and the nutritional value will not be much worse. The ones bought are just for convenience. Should he be so honest as a person?

But I feel that I am annoyed by the drops. And it will be really oily when it drips out. Like the day I drank too much without filtering it completely, I felt a little greasy (I drank a lot, so I didn’t need to refill it for half a month)

The Chinese New Year is coming. Do you want to give a gift? Do you want to replenish your body? Do you want to drink some chicken soup (you can go to Jiyuan!!)

Anyone who wants to buy or research should come to Yixiangzhai official website: goo/ X54YfA

*** The pre-ordered Jinhua Ham Drizzled Chicken Essence is not what I am saying. It is really suitable for the Chinese New Year. The saltiness is moderate and the addition of ham has a different flavor than pure chicken soup

Supplements It tastes less and tastes better

If you are pregnant and want to drink it for a long time, it is recommended to drink it in staggered intervals

Because my friend said that although chicken essence drops are just chicken soup, she drank it during pregnancy. It gets annoying after a long time

, and later swallowed it as medicine

I think she just didn’t buy the Jinhua ham flavor~~~

I forgot to mention that the original flavor of ham should be frozen and not used, in order to preserve the Jinhua ham flavor. Ham has a unique flavor and texture, so if you get it without sterilization, refrigerate it quickly. The last one (back again)

If you ask me what the effect of this thing is, I honestly can’t answer. I used to drink it during pregnancy to feel safe.

However, I am in the early stages of pregnancy. I drank very seriously. Later, during the prenatal check-up, I was told that the baby was over the limit, so I didn’t drink that often.

I didn’t drink much and the baby was always a normal size, but I am still quite fat.

I think this kind of Dongxi is more suitable for people who are seriously ill and weak and have no appetite, just like people who visited the doctor in ancient times would bring chicken essence

Now you have The other choices are more delicious and the best part is that the original flavor does not require ice and is suitable for giving away.
