Field notes
The page identifies the maker as Taishan Changjiang Food Co.’s cured-meat processing factory and describes a sequence of handwork from selecting and preparing meat to stuffing, tying and drying. It says the Baota name dates to 1989, following an earlier “Song Ji” shop, and lists municipal heritage recognition in 2021 and 2022. Overseas customers are directed to inquire rather than use a visible checkout, and the page states a 30-jin minimum for mixed-product dispatch.
