Historical allusions about the origin of fried dough sticks
Fried dough sticks are one of the most popular foods. The original name of deep-fried dough sticks is "deep-fried juniper", which is said to have been first invented by Lin 'an people.
It is said that during the Southern Song Dynasty, the evil prime minister Qin Gui and his wife Wang, out of jealousy and greed, connected with the State of Jin, and set a poisonous plan at the East Window, killing Yue Fei, who was loyal to serving the country, in the Fengbo Pavilion. When the news spread, all the people were indignant, and restaurants, teahouses and streets were discussing the matter.
At that time, under the Anqiao River, there were two food stalls, one selling sesame and onion biscuits and the other selling fried glutinous rice balls. On this day, just after the morning market, Wang Ertong, who made baked wheat cakes, turned on the stove, tidied up the last stack of onion baked wheat cakes sold on the stove, saw that there was no buyer, and sat on a bench to rest. At this time, Li Si, who made glutinous rice balls, had also packed up the oil pan and squatted there smoking a bag of cigarettes.
After greeting each other, they chatted together, and talked about Qin Gui's killing of Yue Fei. Both of them are very angry and want to express their views on this matter in a way. After much deliberation, Wang Er thought of a way, only to find that he got two pimples from the panel, kneaded them, pinched them round and round, and soon they became two dough figurines, a hanging eyebrow scoundrel and a crooked mouth. He grabbed the slicing knife, cut it horizontally on the neck of the hanging eyebrow rogue, and then cut it vertically on the belly of the crooked bitch.
When Li Si saw it, he thought it was not just right, so he ran back to his stall, brought the oil pan to Wang Er's oven for baking sesame cakes, re-kneaded the two cut dough figurines, stuck them back to back, and threw them into the hot oil pan for frying. While frying noodles, he shouted, "Let's see the fried tamarind! Let's see the fried pineapple! "
Passers-by heard the "fried cypress" and felt so fresh that they all gathered around. Everyone looked at the two ugly people in the oil pan, and they were squeaking and frying, so they understood what was going on and shouted. "Look, look, Fried juniper! Look, look, fried juniper! "
As it happens, Qin Gui was retreating from the palace to his home in an eight-sedan chair, passing by Anqiao. Qin Gui heard the noisy shouts in the sedan chair, and when he felt the sound stabbing his heart, he told him to stop the sedan chair and immediately sent QinBing to arrest people. Qinbing squeezed into the crowd, grabbed Wang Er and Li Si, and even brought the frying pan to the front of the sedan chair. Qin Gui saw two ugly people who were fried in the frying pan and their beards were all up, and they came out of the sedan chair and screamed loudly: "How dare you! Do you want to rebel? "
Wang Er answered calmly: "We are in small business, and we are not interested in rebellion."
Qin Gui said, "In that case, how dare you use the official's name?"
Wang er said, "Oh, Prime Minister, you are the" juniper "by the wood, and I am the" stew "by the fire! "
At this moment, all the onlookers shouted," Yes, yes, the sounds are different! " Qin Gui has nothing to say. He looked at the two ugly people floating in the oil pan and shouted, "Don't bother! How can you eat this fried black charcoal? It is clear that two unruly people are gathering all beings and deceiving the government! "
After hearing what Qin Gui said, two people in the crowd immediately stood up and said, "This is the way to blow up!" While scooping up the noodles in the oil pan. Also repeatedly said: "delicious, delicious! The more I eat
, the happier my teeth are. I really want to swallow it in one gulp! " Gal, angry Qin Gui face like purple pig liver, he had to stare eyes, a drill into the big car, flew away.
Qin Gui, a rogue, was beaten in public, which stirred up Lin 'an City. People rushed to Anqiao, all wanting to eat fried sesame seeds. Wang Er and Li Si simply started the fried sesame seeds business together.
Later, because kneading dough takes a lot of time and customers have to wait in line for a long time, Wang Er and Li Si came up with a simple way. They spread a big dough evenly, cut it into many small strips with a knife, and took two pieces, one was a rogue Qin Gui, and the other was a naughty woman Wang. They pressed it with a stick, twisted it together, and put it in a frying pan to fry it, still calling it "Fried Ji".
At first, the common people ate "Fried Fried Chicken" to dispel their resentment, but once they ate it, it was really delicious and the price was cheap, so more and more people ate it. At that time, many stalls in and outside Lin 'an learned to do it, and then gradually spread to other places. Over time, these long strips are called "fried dough sticks".
First, the origin of deep-fried dough sticks
When it comes to Qin Gui, I believe everyone hates his guts. In those days, as the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei, our most respected anti-gold star, killed each other on trumped-up charges and became a generation of traitors, which has always been spurned by people. In order to commemorate Yue Fei and express dissatisfaction with Qin Gui's actions, the Song people at that time used a special cooking method to knead the processed noodles into the shape of Qin Gui and fry them in a high-temperature oil pan to express their hatred for the treacherous court official. Therefore, the fried dough sticks at that time were also called "fried sesame seeds".
According to The History of Song Dynasty, in the 11th year of Emperor Gaozong's reign in the Southern Song Dynasty, Qin Gui and others killed a generation of gold-resisting famous Yue Fei and his son on trumped-up charges. At that time, the military and civilians were very angry, and they always wanted to express their dissatisfaction with the traitor in their own way. One day, there were two vendors selling breakfast in Lin 'an Fengbo Pavilion. They had always respected Yue Fei and Yue Jiajun very much. On impulse that day, they kneaded the dough on their hands into the shapes of Qin Gui and Wang, twisted them together, put them in a frying pan, and slowly fried them, and named them Fried Gui.
When the shouts came together, people in the past heard them and felt very novel. They immediately gathered around. Everyone saw these two ugly people rolling around in the oil, making a squeaky noise. After introducing them, they understood who the bombed noodle man was, and everyone shouted along.
Unexpectedly, Qin Gui, the hero of the story, appeared. That day, he happened to pass by in a big sedan chair. When he passed by Anqiao, he heard a loud noise outside and seemed to hear his name, so he stopped the sedan chair. After knowing the situation, he immediately sent someone to arrest people. Qinbing came to the scene and arrested two people involved in the production of fried dough sticks, namely Wang Er and Li Si. Of course, the frying pan and two ugly people had been blown up beyond recognition. Qin Gui was so angry that his stomach would explode. He immediately shouted: You two, but you want to rebel? The other party was very calm and replied in unison: We are all small businesses and have never been interested in rebellion. Qin Gui went on to say: Then why use my first name?
It seems that the two of them have already made a countermeasure. Wang Er immediately replied, we don't use adult's names, your word is beside the wood, and we use the stew next to the fire. Hearing this, the surrounding onlookers applauded: Yes, yes, the same pronunciation but different characters. Qin Gui was immediately very embarrassed, his face forward. He looked at the two ugly doughs in the pot and roared: Is this something like black charcoal edible? Obviously, you two unruly people are trying to make trouble. Unexpectedly, a person suddenly ran out of the crowd, and the other person immediately rushed forward, fished out the dough in the pot, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and dubbed it: delicious, delicious, never eaten such delicious dough.
At this time, Qin Gui didn't expect such a scene. He couldn't get a word at once. When he saw more and more onlookers, it was useless to quarrel any longer. His face turned red and his eyes were bigger than a bull's eye. Finally, in desperation, he had to get into the sedan chair and slip away directly. There was endless applause at the scene. Everyone gave the highest praise rate to Wang Er Li Si's practice, and they suddenly became idol stars in everyone's hearts.
As soon as this story came out, the story of treacherous court official Qin Gui making a fool of himself in public became more and more interesting, and soon the whole city of Lin 'an became aware of it. Everyone suddenly became interested in this special fried chestnut, and they came to try it one after another. In addition, the fried food itself was delicious, and the two men combined to make technological adjustments, and finally it became a well-known food. Of course, at this time, Wang Er and Li Si have become the founders of fried dough sticks.
The well-known people like to buy. First, they vent their dissatisfaction. After trying it, they find it tastes really good, and the price is not expensive. As a result, it has become a favorite food after publicity and promotion. So many stalls inside and outside the city have learned this trick. After a long time, the whole country has pushed it away. Finally, after a long time, they called these strips fried dough sticks. This is the source of fried dough sticks. Everyone understands.
Second, other historical records about deep-fried dough sticks
Of course, this is only the opinion of one family, and in "Requirements of Qi People", the method of making fried food was recorded. This book is the work of Jia Sixie, a famous agronomist in the Northern Wei Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Another book related to fried dough sticks is "Qing barnyard grass banknotes", in which it is mentioned that fried dough sticks are called fried bean sticks, and the production process of this kind of food is described: fried bean sticks can be as long as one person, and the two pieces are twisted into one, such as the rope is fried, the second hand is used, and the second foot is used, and it is said that the traitor Qin Gui mistakenly entered the country and the people made it according to its shape. In a blink of an eye, the production of fried dough sticks has undergone many historical changes, and there are various opinions about fried dough sticks. Some places call it fried fruit, some people call it fruit, and some places like to call it tianluojin and so on. According to historical data, during the Xianfeng period, a Zhang Linxi wrote a book "Trivial Things and Leisure Spirit", which once defined fried dough sticks, which indicated that all provinces in the north and south ate this snack, some called fruit, some called oil embryo, and some called sesame candy, or oil buns, fried ghosts and so on. It is understood that in Beijing, fried dough sticks are called fried ghosts. Of course, whether the origin of fried dough sticks is in the south or the north is still controversial. Of course, there is still no unified way to make fried dough sticks in the north and south, but today, both the traditional formula and the improved version of health care that everyone pays attention to have new changes. Although the principle of operation is different, the fried dough sticks we eat basically have the same feature: fluffy and crisp.
As a fried food, the deep-fried dough sticks are still the favorite breakfast of many people today. A careful observation of this fried food reveals that it is long and hollow, tastes very good, crisp and tough, and truly belongs to the traditional breakfast in China. However, apart from fried dough sticks, similar related fried pasta originated much earlier than the Song Dynasty, and it is said that it can be traced back to before the Tang Dynasty, but at present, all historical materials have not enough evidence to prove when and where fried dough sticks originated.
third, the choice of fried dough sticks and how to eat them all over the country.
When you choose fried dough sticks, you must choose healthy fried dough sticks.

In the traditional breakfast in Shanghai, fried dough sticks are among them, and others include big cakes, soybean milk and rice balls, etc. In Guangdong and Hong Kong, the most popular way to eat them is to wrap rice rolls in fried dough sticks and then pour it with refined soy sauce. Of course, some auxiliary materials such as Chili sauce or sweet noodle sauce can be added, and even some people like to eat them together in porridge. People in Henan don't eat like this. They will eat fried fritters with bean curd or some hot and sour soup, which is also the local people's favorite breakfast.
In Baodao, Taiwan Province, fried dough sticks are usually put into cooking or cut into pieces and put into rice balls, which is a perfect breakfast with soybean milk.
