In 1930s, Mianmian Street in Hanyang had a shop opened by a foreigner who specialized in making snacks. He kneaded glutinous rice flour and water into a ball, wrapped it in sesame seeds, slowly fried it in warm oil, immediately poured it into another pot with caramel, and then turned it into a study basket covered with sesame seeds to push. The "Happy Tuo" made in this way looks like a walnut, crisp outside and tender inside, sweet but not greasy. It was a good food that was born prematurely at that time, and the "white sugar happy lump" that many poor vendors peddled along the street was this thing. Wuhan traditional snacks are full of joy, and now many large and medium-sized hotels in the three towns have them. The difference is that it has a more elegant name "Ma Yuan". Why do you want to change its name? Because two years ago, it was chosen as "China Famous Point" by this name. However, in addition to the people in the catering circle, Wuhan citizens did not know that they were happy to go online in the past two years. Origin of the name: In 1960s, there was a Mianyang store in Huamian Street, Hanyang, specializing in "Huanxituo". Rub glutinous rice flour and water into a ball, wrap it with sesame seeds, slowly fry it in warm oil, pour it into another pot, add maltose, stir fry, take it out again, turn it over a few times, and it will become a laundry basket covered with sesame seeds. Made of happy chunks. Shaped like a walnut, crisp outside and soft inside, sweet but not greasy. This was a popular breakfast at that time, and vendors selling along the street called it "Happy Sugar Tuo".
This passage comes from a food magazine in Wuhan, which truly records the process of Mianyang Huanxituo entering the provincial capital market, which can prove that Huanxituo originated in Mianyang. Mianyang people generally call lovely children Happy Tuo. Perhaps it is for this reason that food is called Happy Tuo. Now, a Wu Hanyou comedian named Huanxituo is very popular. He opened several venues in one night and made a lot of money. This person is round, simple and honest, which is really gratifying. Reason 2: Why is it called Joy Group? It is said that there was a Dow family in Jingzhou in the late Qing Dynasty, which was separated in the war and went through all kinds of hardships, and finally reunited. The old man surnamed Tao is glad that his family didn't die in the war. He found out the stored glutinous rice, washed it, ground it, drained it, mixed it with proper amount of flour and brown sugar, kneaded it into balls, dipped it in sesame seeds and fried it. Unexpectedly, the finished product was very sweet and the family enjoyed it very much. In order to commemorate the reunion, it is called "Happy Group". Taoism is also famous for being good at creating "happy groups". Historical changes Although many old Wuhan have a hard-to-give-up complex about Huanxituo. However, with people's neglect of heavy oil-rich foods in diet taste, Huanxituo is withdrawing from the "mainstream breakfast" in Wuhan. The improved Huanxituo pays more attention to the choice of flour and sesame. The "size" doubled, from solid to hollow. Looking at the atmosphere, it tastes delicate and crisp. In 2004, Wuhan Star Garden Hotel declared "China Famous Point" with this "Ma Yuan" and achieved success. The reporter learned that marijuana yuan is still very popular in large and medium-sized hotels in Jiangcheng, and the price has changed from 50 cents per serving in the past to around 14 yuan (12). Fang Yuanfa, a "China culinary master" who specializes in pastry making in Wuhan Commercial Service College, said that the "old trees grow new branches" with joy, indicating that Wuhan snacks with deep cultural accumulation still have their own market space as long as they make efforts in innovation. For example, at the second China Catering Expo recently, Wuhan Four Seasons Beauty tomato soup packets and Kaiyang steamed dumplings were also recognized as "China Famous Points" by China Hotel Association. Their experience is the same as joy's. This food has different names in different places. For example, in Chongqing, commonly known as "Ma Yuan", it is crispy, oily and sweet. Soft and sweet, with excellent taste.
