Where is the fried string in the old place of Leshan Changyao in Shangqiu City?

Fried string originated in Leshan, located in the west of southern Sichuan, and is rich in bamboo such as Phyllostachys pubescens. Since ancient times, people have used bamboo sticks to string ingredients, and skewers are made of bamboo sticks. After the reform and opening up, string stalls and small shops have become a major feature of Leshan Street, and fried string is one of them.

This is a fried skewer developed by Changzheng Pharmaceutical Factory (now Sichuan Changzheng Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.). Long March Pharmaceutical Factory used to be an old state-owned enterprise in Leshan City, with a huge factory area, including a series of stalls selling fried skewers, which was very famous. Later, due to the reform of state-owned enterprises, individual laid-off workers switched to catering industry, selling kebabs called "Long Medicine Fried". As Leshan is a tourist city with many tourists, the business of "Fried Dragon Medicine" is booming and quickly becomes popular. Other vendors are scrambling to imitate, and they have made signs of long medicine decoction.

With the development of tourism, Dragon Decoction quickly spread to Chengdu, Chongqing and other neighboring cities. Due to the decline of Changzheng Pharmaceutical Factory and its low popularity, "Dragon Medicine" was changed to "Leshan", hence the name "Leshan Decoction".

"Stir-frying" is a typical cooking method in Sichuan and Chongqing, and another famous snack "Sui Shu" in Leshan is stir-frying. Sichuan and Chongqing know more about the cooking methods of frying, but foreign tourists don't. Because the string has long been famous, some merchants have also played the signboard of fried string incense.

With its unique flavor and Leshan's advantages as a tourist city, kebabs quickly became popular, becoming a new strong genre in Leshan kebabs, and being listed as "Leshan's four famous kebabs" along with Leshan Ji Bo, Niuhua Mala Tang and Leshan Barbecue.
