Qingheyuan Hotel is located in the northeast triangular area at the intersection of Qiaotou Street and Dapu Prefecture in Taiyuan City. It is famous for its long history, exquisite production, rich nutrition and unique flavor-"mind". inside and outside. When talking about the "Qingheyuan Hotel", whether it is to trace the origin of the old store or to talk about the origin of the "mind", it is inseparable from the famous Shanxi thinker and politician Fu Shan from the late Ming and early Qing. This is the main reason why Qingheyuan Hotel is unique and prestigious among many old brands.

According to legend, the Qingheyuan Hotel was built in the early Qing Dynasty and has a history of more than 390 years. At that time, there was a snack stall on the ground in the middle section of Nancang Alley in Taiyuan. At that time, the stall had neither a shop with a small size nor a worker, and the business was not doing well.

Who knows that when Mr. Fu Shan presented the formula of “Mind” and the plaque “He Min Zhe Qing He Yuan” written by himself to Duojia, the business situation soon changed—the expansion of small stalls In the shop, with the help of the buddies, the business was also booming. From this moment on, after the Bailu Festival, "mind" will be listed and supplied. This hotel also hangs a red light in front of the door before dawn every day and starts its business early. People who eat can easily carry lanterns from the streets and alleys of the city, crowding a small shop. The folks put a bowl of "minds" on the table, and the aroma in the hall overflowed with steam. Coupled with the vocal vocals and the flow of people, the scene of eating "mind" is very impressive.

In fact, Fu Shan changed the name of the restaurant to Qingheyuan and changed Bazhentang to the mind. This included the spirit of propaganda to resolve to eat the “mind” of the rulers of the Qing and Yuan dynasties. It must be armed with the idea of overthrowing the Qing government and expelling the alien rule. The minds of the people.

The main raw material, fat lamb, has fixed both the quality of the variety and the place of purchase. In a sales period (from Bailu in the first year to Lichun in the second year), about 200 two-year-old sheep are slaughtered , And with "Hat Box" and "Slight Plum" and other table foods, so that the "mind" business Jackie Chan matching, increasingly perfect.

With the rise and fall of the times and changes, "Qing He Yuan" has experienced ups and downs. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Taiyuan fell, the people did not talk about life, and all industries were in depression. Most of the employees of "Qingheyuan" fled and took refuge. At this time, the shop was forced to change to a guest hostel, and the situation continued until the eve of the liberation of Taiyuan.

In 1949, Taiyuan was liberated, bringing vitality to "Qing He Yuan". In 1956, the Qingheyuan Hotel moved to Qiaotou Street, rebuilt the restaurant, and invited the old teacher who had been lost for many years to carry out the first rectification work to restore the traditional flavor and famous food.

In addition, the raw materials are complete and sophisticated, and the supply is sufficient to ensure the availability of listed products. The quality and quantity greatly meet the people's demand for famous products. In grasping the quality of the "mind", they strictly follow Fu Shan's original formula, emphasizing the role of nutrition and pharmacology, so that it can really play the role of replenishing qi, regulating blood circulation, strengthening the stomach and nourishing the deficiency. At that time, 600 to 800 bowls were sold daily, which was not in the history of "Qingheyuan".
