Gaojie Dairy Shop

Gao Jie's dairy workshop was one of the stops we made during our trip to Eryuan. Her main job every day was to make various dairy products, mainly milk fan. She boiled milk, added brine, and then molded and hung them on bamboo poles to dry. When we passed by, she was often busy, usually molding and placing them on bamboo poles, probably because this step was the most time-consuming.

She is always very enthusiastic to pinch a piece of the still hot breast for us to try, because what we usually eat is breast fan, and it is not easy to eat this soft semi-finished product before drying.

Because Dengchuan is an important source of milk in Dali, every household sells fresh milk, with or without sugar (locals usually drink sugar). We will take guests to observe the process of Gao Jie making milk pudding, and buy some fresh milk (5 yuan) and old-fashioned simple ice cream (2-4 yuan, some are added with milk pudding or other). Generally, guests are surprised to find it delicious, because simple things are rare nowadays.

Some customers like this scene very much, so they will buy some and be very happy. Some customers look down on such a simple workshop. This is the first stop, and everyone is not familiar with it. It is inevitable that they suspect that the tour guide brought them here to shop (haha), so they leave in a hurry or are unwilling to stay. It's a pity. No matter what, Sister Gao and her husband are busy with their own things. They don't care whether the guests buy a lot or not, and they never hint at sales. This is very good and very comfortable, so everyone loves to go to her house.

We often buy some cheese sticks ourselves, especially Li Zhenhao and He Chen, and we can also use them as snacks for guests when we lead other activities. Many guests think they are very delicious, fresh, soft, sweet, and different from the ones on the market. So we often ask the tour leader for the sister’s WeChat, and let the sister deliver the goods directly. We are also very happy that they can sell more.

The items that people think are good to take away are cheese strips and milk blocks (35/catties), and milk flakes (40/catties). Customers also buy them because they are specialties, and seeing how they are made with their own eyes always gives them a sense of security and emotional connection.

If you want to purchase, please contact her directly on WeChat. We only provide recommended information. We hope that everyone can buy simple and good things so that they can increase some sales.
