Chengdu roast meat has a long history, which began in the early Qing Dynasty and was inspired by Guangdong-style braised food. In the old days, it was mainly sold at night under lanterns. When Mou Maolin, Yang Hanjiang and Leng Yuanju, three people with some culture, got together to discuss doing food business, in order to cater to the consumption habits of Chengdu people, they used chicken wings, chicken feet, duck wings, duck feet, goose feet, goose wings, and chicken, duck, goose gizzards, livers and other small goods as braised products, which would definitely win customers. So they founded an inconspicuous 0 small shop, and directly cut a sentence from Du Fu's poem "Guest Arrival" to make the store name "Pan Su Market", and the store was located on Huaxing Main Street in Chengdu. Anyone who has read Du Fu's poems can feel the "elegance" and "reality" of this "Pan Su Market", which is close to ordinary people. Such an elegant shop sign was very rare in the Chengdu catering industry at that time, and it became a good story for a while. Many diners heard the sign and came in droves, only then did they know that this braised food was delicious. In addition, the store is close to the Chengdu Jinjiang Theater, and the middle and upper class women who love Sichuan opera are almost all the guests of "Panshan City". Most of these customers are good eaters, which has promoted the store invisibly, so the business is booming. The stewed food in Panshan City uses fine ingredients and pays attention to the heat. The small goods that are stewed well are soft and delicious. They are brushed with sesame oil when they are sold. The color, aroma and taste are one level higher than the general "roast meat stalls". They are favored by diners and are crowded with customers every day. Later, in order to expand sales, the store launched braised meat with pot cakes while operating braised food. It is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the marinade is refreshing and has a strong aroma. Eating two can not only fill your stomach and enjoy the taste, but also the price is cheap, convenient and affordable, so that diners can feast on it. Gradually, "Panshan City" has become a well-known pickled and marinated store in Chengdu. The braised meat with pot cakes made by Panshan City is not only loved by ordinary people, but also welcomed by dignitaries. Legend has it that during the warlord period, Chen Guodong, the commander of the Seventh Division of the Sichuan Army, liked to eat the braised pork with pot cakes from Pansun Market. He often sent his orderly to Pansun Market to buy hot pot cakes and run back home for his own consumption, and often used them to entertain guests. Once, he went to the suburban counties to inspect work, and asked the driver to take a detour to Pansun Market and call for a few braised pork with pot cakes. He ate them while sitting in the carriage, which became a hot topic in the military and catering circles. How to make this braised pork with pot cakes: The crispy white flour pot cakes are baked by the pot cake chef in the hall, and the chef on the other side uses a knife to cut the baked white flour pot cakes in half from the edge; the pot cake is placed on the stove and cooked over low heat to keep the brine slightly boiling. When the customer orders, the chef cuts the half-fat and half-lean braised meat into thin slices, puts the pot cakes into the hot brine after it is heated, and then scoops in an appropriate amount of brine. Guokui with braised meat is both a staple food and a side dish. It is very convenient and simple, and soon became a fashionable snack in Chengdu. To this day, there are often people who come with their families, or with friends, or alone, all for the braised meat with Guokui in Pansun City. During the outing season and the New Year holidays, people have to queue up to buy it. From the 1930s to today, it is a pleasant thing for Chengdu people to taste the braised products in Pansun City. After several generations of operators, especially the efforts of modern operators, Pansun City was awarded the title of "Famous Snacks in Chengdu" by the municipal government at the Chengdu Food Festival in 1992, and won awards in many food activities; in 1995, it was awarded the title of "China Time-honored Brand" by the Ministry of Domestic Trade; in 2002, "Shun City Braised Banquet" was rated as "Famous Chinese Banquet" at the 12th National Chef Festival. Today, Pansun City is affiliated to Chengdu Catering Company of Sichuan Province. It is no longer a small store as before, and there are more than 10 chain enterprises in and outside the province. The old store on Huaxing Main Street is now a three-story building with a business area of more than 5,000 square meters. Its decoration is simple and elegant, yet modern, with a hall, private rooms and takeaway windows. In addition to maintaining the traditional small braised products, it has added pig heads, pig tails, pig tongues, pig feet, pork elbows, whole ducks, whole chickens and other braised products. It has also added Sichuan-style sauerkraut fish hot pot and various Sichuan-style stir-fried dishes and Chengdu snacks, forming a professional restaurant with braised products as the leader and comprehensive catering management capabilities. Pansun City’s pickled stews are deeply loved by Chengdu citizens. There are long queues at the takeaway window every day, and the door is full of customers, and basically the supply cannot meet the demand.
