Haijia Mutton Soup (Main Branch)
海家羊肉汤
A Halal establishment open since 1992, and the earliest mutton soup shop in Heze city to serve white broth. The broth is rich, and there are long queues before and after Spring Festival.
Hai Wei and his wife founded the shop on Guangfu Street in 1992, and they claim it was the first mutton soup shop in Heze city to serve white broth. The soup is simmered continuously for over five hours without any added water, and before serving, a powder of more than a dozen spices is added. The table offers two kinds of chili: fine wet chili to stir into the soup, and dried chili to wrap inside flatbread. The old shop is near Heze No. 1 High School, and many Heze people who study or work away from home come back for a bowl. For a month around Spring Festival it is very hard to get a seat, and even at midday it is often full. It mainly serves breakfast and lunch, at about RMB 20–30 per person. The main branch is at No. 18 Guangfu North Road in Mudan District, south of the Guangfu and Bayi Road intersection. Another branch is in Jiaotong Future City on Renmin Road.
