Fried chicken shops can be found everywhere in the streets of Linyi,Shandong Province.Local chicken lovers jokingly say,"No chicken can get out of Linyi alive!"With its rosy colour and spicy taste,Linyi's fried chicken has become the most important role on the banquet and party tables of the Lu Cuisine.

Every morning,the"Stupid Chicken Trot"fried chicken production workshop at the Luozhuang District Aiyinong pre-made vegetable supply chain base is a scene of frenzied production,with automated production lines running at high speed and workers in uniform working methodically on ingredients and packing.

"Now the standard of living is rising,the chicken also has a variety of practices,fried chicken,stewed chicken,spring water hen soup......but the only choice of good chicken,with good materials is not to be the rule."Founder Fu Wendu said.

In2015,in a garage downstairs in a small lane in Linyi,"Dumb Chicken Trot"started its run,with its tantalisingly colourful,heavy-flavoured,firm meat and distinctive mountain and farmhouse characteristics.

"In the past,one person could only fry40chickens,but after factory production,one person can fry400chickens."This has boosted confidence in Linyi's fried chicken to go nationwide and out of the country,Fu said.

Aiyinong is the first enterprise in Linyi to do the whole fried chicken prep industry,from chicken breeding,to processing and production,packaging and sales,has formed a complete industrial chain.The base has a large scale and highly standardised production workshop for fried chicken pre-prepared dishes,with a daily mass production capacity of8,000units.Aiyinong invested40million yuan to build a supply chain base of pre-made vegetables covering an area of more than400mu,and after it is put into operation,the company can achieve annual sales of300million yuan.
