Yanghe

— The 1982 average per capita annual income in Yongning County was substantially higher, 539 yuan according to the Population Census Office (1987:206).[…] In terms of the small food industry, eight households opened small restaurants in Yanghe Township with several others selling yang zasui — a traditional Hui spicy stew made from the internal organs of sheep.[…] Before 1949, Hui proclivity for growing cash crops in this area was noted by Fan Changjiang. He observed that the opium produced by Han and Hui peasants in the Yanghe area was of a very high quality, but the Han could not make much of a profit from it: They smoked too much of it themselves and were too weak to gain financially from it.
