Origin of Laiwu Sausage in Shandong Province

Laiwu sausage production has a history of more than one hundred years. Laiwu sausage is produced in Tusikou (now Kou Town), a famous ancient town 30 miles north of Laiwu, and is one of the famous foods in Shandong. Rich in nutrition, delicious in taste, appetizing and invigorating the stomach, regulating qi, and has the characteristics of no moth, no fly bite and no deterioration after long-term storage. It is good food for parties and friends.

Laiwu sausage, also called Nanchang, is a famous Shunxiangzhai. The founder of Shunxiangzhai is Su Zhiting, a native of Licheng, Jinan. His ancestors were in the sausage business, but the business was not very good. In the late Qing Dynasty, Su Zhiting's family moved to Boshan. At that time, Boshan was already a prosperous city, with developed handicrafts, workshops all over the streets and lanes, and an endless stream of businessmen. But after several years, business has not improved much. Su Zhiting moved to Sikou in the north of Laiwu, which is today's town. Tusikou is a famous market town in history, and the Song Dynasty was the main distribution center of Qilu silk. Although the spinneret in the late Qing Dynasty has declined, it is not as prosperous as Boshan Jinan, but it is still a lively place. It was here that Su Zhiting created Shunxiangzhai and Laiwu sausages. Laiwu sausage

After the founding of New China, Shunxiangzhai, a century-old brand, has undergone several changes and gained new development opportunities in the new society. Since 1970s, under the influence of the state-run sausage processing factory "Shunxiangzhai", Kouzhen and its subordinate villages such as Xiashuihe have successively opened sausage processing factories, making Laiwu, a famous food manufacturing industry, more prosperous. At present, there are more than 100 sausage processing plants, among which Quanxiangzhai, Zhengxiangzhai, Yuxiangzhai, Shengxiangzhai, Jinxiangzhai, Juxiangzhai, Yuanxiangzhai and Xingxiangzhai are relatively large. 1955, the original manufacturer was changed to public-private partnership; 1966 with the successful completion of the transformation of private industrial and commercial enterprises, "Shunxiangzhai" enterprises were changed into state-owned units; 1986, with the approval of Laiwu municipal government, Nanchang factory in Shunxiangzhai, Kouzhen, Laiwu city was established. .
