Yulin meatballs are divided into beef meatballs and pork meatballs. Because of their round appearance, Yulin people call them "meat eggs". It is said that the earliest meatballs were created by Liang Guangzhi's great-grandfather, Liang Yexun, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the technology has never been spread abroad. Before the founding of New China, Liang Yexun's son, Liang Daji, sold beef brisket powder at Naihe Bridge in Xihu Chi Park, Yuzhou District, Yulin City, and made dozens of kilograms of meatballs as ingredients by hand every day. Meatballs are delicious, crisp, slag-free, tender and delicious, attracting many repeat customers. During the period of the Republic of China, Li Zongren was stationed in Yulin, and once his men gave him meatballs to taste. Li Zongren liked them very much after tasting them. After leaving Yulin, Li Zongren sent his men to Yulin to buy meatballs, which made Liang Daji's meatballs famous. Before the founding of New China, Yulin Daily once published an article introducing the alternative bridge to remember beef brisket powder.
After the founding of New China, the West Lake Pool was filled up and the Naihe Bridge was demolished, and the beef brisket powder of Liang Daji became the memory of the old Yulin people.
in p>2, Liang Guangzhi, the fourth generation descendant, inherited his ancestral business. At first, he just sold beef brisket powder and some meatballs on the street like his ancestors. With the development of Yulin economy, Liang Guangzhi saw the potential market of meatballs, so he managed meatballs and beef brisket powder separately. He introduced modern technology, constantly studied and improved it, and finally succeeded in combining modern technology with traditional handwork to produce meatballs with traditional taste. In 28, Liang Guangzhi registered the trademark "Laobao" for Yulin meatballs, becoming the only enterprise in Yulin that registered the trademark of meatballs. "Laobao" was originally a Yulin dialect, meaning "naughty, naughty". It is this trademark full of local flavor that makes "Laobao" meatballs a household name in Yulin, and its products have entered the local supermarket, attracting foreign merchants.
