Origin of Twist in Shibajie, Tianjin
Guifaxiang 18th Street Twist is the most authentic twist in Tianjin, a century-old twist shop and a traditional craft. Together with Tianjin Goubuli steamed stuffed bun and Erduoyan fried cake, it is also called "Tianjin three musts", ranking first. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was an alley named "Eighteen Streets" on the west side of Tianjin Weihe River and at the southern end of the bustling Xiaobailou. A man named Liu Laoba opened a small shop with the name of "Gui Faxiang" in this alley. This man is very smart and capable, and can be said to be a unique skill in frying twist. The twisted dough he fried is real, using refined white flour and refined oil. Every day, the smell of the twist can spread all over the alley, and people flock to his shop to buy it, so his shop is always full of customers. Later, his business grew bigger and bigger and he opened a shop. At first, they were all guests, but as time went on, people felt a little tired and annoyed, and business was not as good as before. The old man is not reconciled. Later, a shopkeeper in the shop went out to play once. When he got home, he was tired and hungry and asked for snacks. It happened that all the snacks were gone, only some snacks were left. There was nothing else to eat, so the little shopkeeper had a brainwave and asked someone to mix the dim sum residue with the twist and fry it in a pot. As a result, the fried twist is different from the previous one, except that it is crispy and delicious. According to this method, Liu Laoba devoted himself to research and put assorted crispy stuffing between the white strips and hemp strips of twist. As for the ingredients, I have spent a lot of thought, such as osmanthus, Fujian ginger, walnut kernel, peanuts, sesame seeds ... and green and red silk and rock sugar. In order to make your own twist unique, improve the taste and taste, and prolong the storage time, the materials are becoming more and more refined, such as the fine salted osmanthus processed from osmanthus in West Lake, the crystal sugar made from sugarcane planted in Fu Ling, and the refined wheat flour. Not only are they stored for a long time, but they are crispy and delicious, and their mouths are watering.
