Ninghuafu Yiyuanqing is the most famous vinegar store in Shanxi Province. It’s been producing extra aged vinegar here for more than six hundred years. And as the Laba festival approaches, the store has served thousands of customers and sold even more vinegar.
Reporter: “It’s only 9:30 in the morning, and these people have already been standing in line for two hours to buy vinegar. The store manager says since the start of the twelfth lunar month, thousands of customers have come to do the same every day. And he says, more than 10,000 liters of vinegar can sometimes be sold in a single day.”
"The Laba festival is coming. We’re all here to buy vinegar to make Laba garlic, which will be so delicious to eat alongside dumplings during the Lunar New Year."
The garlic is soaked in vinegar on Laba day. So that by the Lunar New Year, about twenty days later, the garlic will be just right to eat.
"Vinegar quality is key to tasty Laba garlic. You should use high quality vinegar and garlic with purple skin." Lian Jia, deputy manager of Shanxi Donghu Vinegar Co., Ltd, said.

With anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory qualities, it can reduce the greasiness 7 of food while adding a unique flavor.
