In order to meet the qualifications of mutton in his heart, the boss Ma Gang will personally go to Hebei and other places for inspection and procurement in June ~ August during the peak period of cattle and sheep slaughtering every year. In order to ensure sufficient supply, Niujie alone has established two large cold storages, which can accommodate enough stores to sell for a year. In order to ensure the taste, the beef and mutton are thawed and coarsely processed every day, and then delivered to the store that night. To Jubaoyuan, hand-cut mutton is naturally essential.

The knife work of each hand-cut meat is good, and the production is relatively stable. In addition to shabu-shabu, the most impressive thing about Jubaoyuan is the pancakes. This is one of the staple foods of shabu-shabu, but it seems that Jubaoyuan has the most careful production, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the best baked cake in the shabu-shabu restaurant on the list.
