1. In the mid-198 s, there was a grocery store on Jiefang South Road, and its clerk often took a handful of dry-cut powder to the snail stall next door to cook it. Later, someone bought green vegetables to mix it. Grandma Wang Ji, who sold snails, thought it was delicious, so she sold snail powder.

2. In 197s and 198s, Gubu Street food market became the largest distribution center for the wholesale of endophytic snails in Liuzhou, and the audience in the nearby workers' cinema liked to stroll around after the show, forming Gubu Street night market. Liuzhou people have always been fond of eating snails and rice noodles. Some night market owners deal in boiled snails and rice noodles at the same time. Some diners like to add snail soup with a lot of oil and water to rice noodles, thus forming the embryonic form of snail powder.

3. Snail powder originated in the Tang Dynasty. Liu Zongyuan, a writer of the Tang Dynasty, was demoted to Liuzhou, Guangxi as a secretariat. Because of his bad mood, he was not acclimatized, didn't think about food and drink, lacked health and was at a loss for clothes. Zhou Wanfu, then the chef in the government, was very anxious and didn't know what to do. One day he went to the Liujiang River to wash vegetables and picked up some snails. After returning, I carefully prepared a bowl of snail soup for Liu Zongyuan. Liu Zongyuan liked it very much and it has been widely circulated since then.
