There are many different kinds of Chao Shan meatballs. Except the traditional fish ball, pork ball, beef ball, fish skin dumpling, shrimp ball, pig stomach ball, filled ball, pork cake, fish cake, etc., there are also crab ball and chicken ball, etc. Earlier in Chao Shan areas, there was a parlance, “Even have meatball 3 meals per day, its’ still delicious.” Local producers make different meatballs according to the different local taste. 　　Chao Shan Meatball production was started from the fish ball. It is said that in the period of Spring and Autumn and Warring States, the Emperor Ping of Chu loved to have fish, every meal, he had to eat fish. But the Emperor Ping of Chu was very atrocious, if he was careless to have the bones of the fish, then he killed the cook. One day, a new cook felt that to accompany an emperor just liked to accompany a tiger, he would be killed as well some day. While he was thinking, he felt very angry, so he chopped the fish with the back of a knife blade. At that time, he found the bones of the fish were separated from the fish meat. So he got an idea, he smashed the fish meat, then made balls. After the Emperor Ping of Chu tried, he gave a full of praise. From then, they kept the fish ball, and the fish ball came to Chaozhou with the Emperor Ping of Chu moving down to the south. The common people learned the producing method, and made the pork ball and beef ball. These 3 meatballs with fish skin dumpling are called the “Four Treasures of Chaozhou” 　　The meatball products were handmade before, the intensity of labor was large, the efficiency of the production was low, the difficulty of technique was big, the variety and the quantities were small, the other areas were difficult to imitate, and so the development of the meatball was restricted. Until the 80’s of 20th Century, Jiedong Quxi Town Yongren Foodstuff Machinery Factory produced the first meatball product processing batch– meat mixing machine, started the first step of meatball product mechanized production. Then, Yongren Foodstuff Machinery Factory produced and studied at the same time according to the requirement of the manufacturer, improved the whole set of meatball product machine, mechanized the meatball production. The production technique of meatball product steps to all over the China and the whole world with the “Shan Cha” series machines stepping out of the Chao Shan.
