The first "domestic snack giant" to go abroad
In September 2017, yang mingyu, a yellow stewed chicken rice brand created by Jinan people, took the lead in "entering" the United States and opened its first branch before Shaxian snacks and Lanzhou ramen.
Up to now, Yang Mingyu Yellow Braised Chicken Rice has opened more than 100 stores in Australia, Japan, Singapore and Canada, and nearly 400 franchise cities around the world, with the number of franchised stores exceeding 6,000.
Yellow braised chicken rice, the earliest is actually just a dish "yellow braised chicken". Going back in time, Shandong, Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan and other places have the dish of yellow stewed chicken, but as a snack, yellow braised chicken rice is properly derived from Shandong.
In the 1930s, there was a famous store "Jiling Garden" in Jinan Province, Shandong Province, which was called the three famous stores in the provincial city together with "Huiquan Lou" and "Jufengde". His signature dish, "Baicao Yellow Braised Chicken", was deeply loved by Han Fuyu, then chairman of Shandong Province. He once rewarded thirty pieces of silver for this, and praised: "This chicken is ingenious and unique, and it is above the best product, and it should be a must." ”
In the 1990s, the ancestors of Yang Xiaolu, a post-80s boy in Jinan, opened a small restaurant in Luokou Town, Jinan, named Fuquanju, and the main dish at that time was yellow stewed chicken. In 2011, Yang Xiaolu revived the staple dish of his ancestors, innovatively paired yellow braised chicken with rice, and opened the first yellow braised chicken rice shop near Jinan Zhou Gong Temple, selling more than 300 copies per day. The first franchise agreement for Yang Mingyu's yellow stewed chicken and rice was also signed on a small table outside the store.

Shandong people who love pasta, why would they braised chicken + rice group CP?
Some people may wonder, Shandong people usually use noodles as a staple food, why did they give birth to such a recipe as "yellow stewed chicken + rice"?
If you know that another big folk snack in Jinan is "rice dumpling meat", it is easy to understand.
The rice-producing areas in Jinan are concentrated along the Yellow River, and the old Jinan people usually regard rice as "fine grain", "good meat" with "good rice", there is a "soul", in order to become a delicacy.
