Laobeijing traditional bakery Ming

Yuxi cakes have always enjoyed a high reputation in the province, among which candied fruit series and other products are all the rage in Kunming, the provincial capital. Lanxinzhai, a famous candy store in the north of the city, produces crystal preserves, sand cakes and cakes (commonly known as sugar cakes), which is an early one. Lanxinzhai was founded by Li's father in 19 14. At the beginning, it was a small business, and only making sugar food could not maintain the family's life. Li's mother and sister had to engage in hand knitting. Gradually, due to the good quality and moderate price of candy produced by his family, the market was opened and the variety and quantity of cakes produced increased. By 1944, "Lanxinzhai" has developed into the leading sugar food production enterprise in Beishi, with certain fixed assets. With the expansion of production, relying on their own labor can no longer meet the needs of production development, and immediately hired eight masters and long-term workers. Business was good then. Every day, we can sell 200 kilograms of miscellaneous sugar, thousands of glutinous rice cakes and more than 300 sugar cakes. In addition, we can also sell a certain number of well-known crystal preserves, mountain red (mountain fruit) and assorted south sugar. 1945, due to the big business, the Li brothers separated, and the store names were divided into Lanxinzhai Junfenzhuang River and Lanxinzhai Baofenzhuang River, which produced sugar food. Junfenzhuang River was a vegetarian, and Baofenzhuang River was a vegetarian.

Lanxinzhai is not only the name of the store, but also the brand name of the products it produces. Registered at around 1945, it established the first registered trademark of Beicheng. Thanks to the registered trademark, the crystal preserves of Lanxinzhai are exported to Shanghai and Hong Kong in China and Myanmar and Thailand abroad, which are favored by customers. Crystal candied fruit is the main export product. The big candied fruit is made of wax gourd and brown sugar or white sugar, with fine workmanship. When cut, it is red coral color, crystal clear, with good color, fragrance and taste. In particular, the crystal candied fruit is made of fine spices and exquisite materials, and the special wax gourd hat is refined through more than ten processes. Candied fruit is as transparent as crystal stone, especially sweet and crisp, slag-free and storage-resistant. It is said that it also has the effects of moistening lung, promoting fluid production and relieving cough.

1945, two branches closed down due to cash flow difficulties. 1956 merged into public-private partnership. Li and Li died on 1960.
