Sweet potato yellow clip is a literal translation of the local dialect in Liushi Plain. There are two versions about the historical origin of this sweet potato yellow clip. One saying is that the sweet potato yellow clip comes from Wengyang Street, and the other is that it comes from Liushi Town. The most popular saying is that the sweet potato yellow clip appeared in Wengyang Street (Tatou Street in Anxiang, one of the five streets in the county) in the Qing Dynasty, and it has been circulating ever since.
In the past, only a wealthy family in Weng Yang would do this. In this version, the ancestors of Miaoxiang Juice were also married from a wealthy family in Wengyang to a landlord in wang xing, Xiangyang, and brought the craft of making authentic sweet potato yellow clips to Liushi. During the Republic of China, there was a wang xing landlord who loved food in Huazun Village, Liushi Town. Every time there is a festival, there will always be food and wine.
One day, the landlord of wang xing paid a lot of money, and whoever made a new dish and gained his appreciation would get a reward. As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under the four rewards, so all kinds of dishes come out frequently, among which there are many fine products, but none of them can satisfy the landlords in wang xing.
Just when the landlord was disheartened, a handyman developed this jiaozi made of sweet potatoes. Translucent yellow-green, golden skin in the sun, jiaozi-like shape, the size of a small fist, a sweet potato aroma. The landlord didn't expect much, so he picked it up casually and stood up straight, his eyes shining, and he repeatedly exclaimed, "Good, good, good!" The servant immediately came forward to please and asked the landlord to give him a name. The landlord of wang xing asked about the production method, and ordered the servant to throw a bag of gratuities in the past, giving it a name and a sweet potato yellow clip.
As a result, the landlord added a new dish to the annual sacrifice.
With the changes of the times, the technology of making sweet potato yellow clips has gradually spread from the rich and famous in Wenzhou.
The landlord in wang xing later lost his family, and his descendants didn't lose this skill. The most famous breakfast chain store in Liushi is the Miao-xiang-zhi Lao-wang baozi stuffed with juicy pork.
after a hundred years' baptism, the taste of sweet potato yellow clip has also changed a lot on the basis of the original. All parts of Liushi Plain have produced their own unique flavor, and a hundred schools of thought contend and bring forth the new. Sweet potato yellow clip has also become a wonderful flower on the local snacks in Liushi. Nowadays, every time overseas travelers think of their hometown, they can't stop thinking of soft and delicious sweet potato yellow clips.
