Ma Yu Xing poultry shop in the ancient city of Kaifeng is famous Muslim food store, founded in Tongzhi two years (1864), dating back over a hundred years of history, its traditional staple bucket of chicken, as early as the Qing Dynasty It has crown Plains.

He was born in Yunnan Province. During the reign of emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty, Wu sangua supported his troops into Yunnan, and the Ma family"s prestige declined sharply. So his family moved to Jinling (now Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province) and settled in Shuiximen area. At the beginning of the reign of Emperor Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty, he set up workshops to sell salted duck, salted duck and fried chicken products. "Chunhuitang" was handed down to Ma yongcen"s generation, and its business has begun to take shape, and it has a small reputation in Nanjing. During the Xianfeng Period of Qing Dynasty, Zeng Guofan, the imperial envoy, suppressed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and besieged Tianjing (now Nanjing). The current situation was turbulent and the economy was depressed. Ma yongcen, with his family members, moved north to Bianjing, settled in wenshusi street, set up yushengyong business, and continued to operate Beijing and Guangzhou food products, as well as fried duck, roast duck and fried chicken products. Henan Province is rich in chicken resources, and Ma yongcen has a superb skill. He uses fat and tender hens as the main material to improve the traditional technology and integrate the characteristics of the Central Plains. We have developed new products with unique shape, novel technology and unique flavor. Because the shape is like a barrel, it is named as barrel chicken. In 1865, Ma yongcen raised funds to purchase real estate in the north of Xikou Road, Gulou Street (today"s Broadcasting Station), and moved his business and workshop here. As the Ma family has settled in Kaifeng for a long time and is well-known, Ma yongcen wants to take the opportunity to move the old business into a new one that can reflect the characteristics of the Ma family. In ancient times, Henan was called Yuzhou, and Kaifeng was the capital of Henan Province. Ma yongcen renamed the business name "Ma Yuxing", which means that the Ma family established business in Kaifeng, Henan Province, with a large population and prosperous business. Since then, "yushengyong" was renamed "Jinling Jiaomen horse Yuxing chicken and duck shop". During the reign of Emperor Guangxu, "Ma Yuxing" was booming day by day. Its new product barrel chicken was well-known in Zhongzhou for its exquisite selection of materials, fine production, unique technology, apricot yellow color, fat and not greasy food, mellow, crisp and tender, and long aftertaste. At that time, it was mostly used for banquets of the government and restaurants. It is said that during the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, Chen Mou (a southerner) of Xiangfu County, especially loved Majia barreled chicken, and almost every day"s meal was indispensable. In order to give their favor to the officials, scholars and merchants, barrel chicken is an indispensable gift when they meet or ask for something. As a result, the common people were involved in lawsuits, and they also competed to buy and offer. As a result, the barrel chicken became more and more famous and highly praised. Ma yongcen managed well, constantly expanding the varieties on the market, adding cooked products of roast chicken, fish and shrimp, beef and mutton, and each has its own characteristics and good flavor. Its business characteristics are: good quality and low price, no cheating on the old and the young, the real price, and praise. Ma yongcen died on the 12th year of the 12th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1887). Ma Youren, the eldest son, succeeded Ma Yuxing as consul and took over the business. In 1890, Gulou Street was widened and the shop was moved to the south of Gulou. In 1905, Ma Hongbin, the son of Ma Youren, inherited his father"s career. He was lazy and employed Shang Jinjiang (Wen Tao) as a consul to perform the position of manager. Ma Hongbin had no skills in business and lived a dissolute life. His family wealth was almost wasted and he was unable to manage. So he transferred his store property and his shop name to shangjinjiang (Wentao). Ma Ji, the son of Ma Hongbin, became an adult. He was determined to inherit the family"s ancestral business, raise money in various ways, mediate with others, and redeem the store from Shangjia in 1925. He went around looking for famous teachers who had been lost and worked hard to make Ma Yuxing chicken and duck shop recover. Wang Baoshan, a famous teacher of Banzi chicken, was an apprentice in Ma Yuxing since he was a child. He studied hard and worked hard and worked hard for skills. He could operate independently at the age of 17. Zhang Yulin was ill in his old age. When he returned to his hometown, Ma Yuxing was supported by Wang Baoshan. Ma Jizeng regained his ancestral business and hired Ma ruzhong, a famous teacher in the soy sauce and meat industry with high salary. Fu Guo and Liang entered the store successively, enriching the variety and product characteristics of "Ma Yuxing". In addition to the barrel chicken, the roasted chicken on the market is bright brown and yellow, crisp in the rotten state, and has a mellow aroma. It enjoys the same reputation as the roasted chicken of Daokou yixingzhang. The dried osmanthus duck is light yellow in color, delicious in meat and slightly fragrant in cinnamon. The dried beef is even, salty and sweet, and has a long aftertaste. In addition, there are more than 60 varieties of roast duck, fried chicken, spiced beef, smoked fish, drunken crab, prawns and dried meat floss, all of which are delicately made and have their own characteristics. Ma Yuxing"s products not only sell well in the local area, but also exported to Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan and other places. So far, Ma Yuxing"s business reached its peak. In 1938, the Japanese invaders invaded the Central Plains, and Kaifeng was occupied by the Japanese. Government officials and social dignitaries fled to the west one after another, and Commerce withered. Ma Yuxing chicken and duck shop was also devastated, and its business was depressed. Wang Baoshan, a famous teacher, was forced to leave the shop to seek a new life. Once again, Ma Yuxing chicken and duck shop was on the verge of closing down. After the victory of the Anti Japanese War, Ma Yuxing regrouped and tried to revitalize it. Wang Baoshan returned to his shop and gradually resumed normal business. But soon after, the Kuomintang launched a civil war, and Ma Yuxing, like other firms, managed to maintain its business. After the liberation of Kaifeng in October 1948, with the support of the party and the people"s government, Ma Yuxing quickly resumed his original business, and his business was booming. Ma Fulin, the fifth generation successor, was elected executive member of Kaifeng soy sauce industry association. The spiced beef jerky produced by the shop was approved by the government as military supplies to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea. It was manufactured day and night and transported to North Korea, where it was praised by the government. In 1952, Ma Fulin and technician Wang Genchang (the late) opened "mayuxing chicken and duck branch" in Dehua Street, Zhengzhou. In addition to managing Ma Yuxing"s traditional products, it also added waxed mutton, beef noodle, sausage bag and other varieties. After the public-private joint venture, it was under the leadership of Zhengzhou catering company. In Kaifeng, Ma Yuxing, together with shangyuxing, fuxingzhai and yishengzhai, established the "mayuxing chicken duck cooperation shop". Wang Baoshan, a famous teacher, was elected as a member of the CPPCC municipal committee, and a production and processing workshop was set up in cundeli street. In 1964, he was under the leadership of the municipal food company. Feng Longyun, Gao Hongxiang and Li Suicheng, the young workers, were selected to follow Wang Baoshan to learn arts, so that Ma Yuxing"s products can be inherited and developed. As a famous dish in the ancient city, barrel chicken entertains visitors from all directions. In the 1950s, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held several meetings in Zhengzhou and appointed Ma Yuxing in Kaifeng to send barreled chicken to Zhengzhou. Leaders of the Central Committee and the participants gave them good comments after tasting. In March 1964, Cambodian chief of general staff Lang Hao and his party came to Bian and praised the barrel chicken. At the two Guangzhou trade fairs in 1969 and 1972, Hong Kong, Macao and foreign businesses asked for an order for barrel chicken from Ma Yuxing in Kaifeng. Due to the limitation of production equipment and raw materials, no deal was concluded. After the death of Wang Baoshan, a famous teacher.
