Money Chicken

Chicken coop

Not a place where chickens lay eggs, but a lost snack that combines chicken, ham,

Shrimp, roast meat, shiitake mushrooms and other fillings are steamed on a piece of dough, which can be understood as unsealed buns.

Landlord shoes

The back of the mackerel is cut to remove the bones, and it is steamed with sausage and Chen Cun flour.

Pheasant rolls

There is no chicken in the ingredients, but sliced fat under the pork belly, rolled up the pork, fried until golden brown, the mouth is sweet and crunchy, and the meat filling in the middle is bursting with a wine aroma, if you don't say it, it is difficult to tell that it is a lard dish.
