Today, jiaozi, which has been handed down from generation to generation, shines brilliantly, breaking the world record by having the "Tianjin Baijiao Garden" with the most varieties in jiaozi, and winning the medal of "jiaozi with the most varieties in the world". It is reported that Tianjin has a number of Guinness World Records, but it is the first time that the catering industry has broken the Guinness World Record.
There are 229 kinds of jiaozi in Baijiao Garden, which are divided into ten series, including vegetarian stuffing, aquatic products, wild vegetables, health care and seafood. Among them, there are varieties such as hot and sour duck blood, shrimp celery, Su Sanxian, corn flour, hawthorn tremella, etc. Each skin is thin and stuffed, and now it is packaged and cooked. Among them, jiaozi, beautifully carved and the size of a little finger belly, stands out. Jiaozi, which is shaped like a pearl and has delicious fillings, is known as "Cixi Hotpot".
According to legend, during Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing, and Empress Dowager Cixi fled hastily. When passing by Yangcun Village in Tianjin, the Queen Mother felt a little tired and immediately ordered to stop here. In the evening, the Queen Mother was gloomily watching Peking Opera when she suddenly felt a little empty in her stomach and moved slightly. When the careful eunuch saw it, he immediately leaned down and asked the queen mother if she wanted something to eat. The queen mother nodded slightly and the eunuch hurried away.
In order to please the queen mother, the eunuch gave the chefs a menu. They were ordered to cook a royal meal that the Empress Dowager had never eaten and could be cooked while eating. The chefs were busy separately, and in a few minutes, a plate of the Queen Mother's favorite chicken breast was served with jiaozi wrapped in seasoning and stuffing. I saw jiaozi, the size of apricot stone, dotted with beautiful pearls. At this time, the eunuch set up a single-wind copper hot pot on the long table in front of the queen mother, carefully poured the chicken and duck soup cooked in advance and lit the charcoal below. Under the night, the burning flame keeps beating, just like blooming chrysanthemums, so it is also called "Chrysanthemum Hotpot". Empress Dowager Cixi was very excited to see this scene and praised it repeatedly, so she named it "Cixi Hot Pot" jiaozi.
As the saying goes, "The more you eat, the more jiaozi you have". Baijiao Garden has introduced more than 100 kinds of jiaozi, and also brought five major cuisines from Tianjin, Sichuan, Shandong, Guangdong and Fujian. Bai Jiao Garden in Beijing, with red walls and red lanterns hanging high, has the beauty of ancient rhyme. The interior decoration is antique, many antiques, calligraphy and paintings are decorated by Mo Bao, waiters in traditional costumes stand on both sides, ancient music surrounds the beams, and bright documents are operated in a tense and orderly manner. Some people say that only eating jiaozi can solve the problem of "different opinions". In your spare time, let your body and mind wander in the long river of China ancient culture, and savor the five flavors in the delicate dough.
