The most famous of Shijiazhuang bacon is Shimen. According to research, during the Kangxi years, the protagonist Li Shankui was named as a royal chef for making bacon. In the early years of the Republic of China, the descendants of Li Shankui went back to the folks to open a bacon workshop, and Li’s bacon was passed down to this day. Shimen Yiwei's bacon is made with more than 30 kinds of precious spices, which are refined through 18 steps of dressing, pickling, soup, cooking and smoked roasting. The traditional craftsmanship and quality are completely preserved.
