There is an allusion about Youxuan. Ji Xianlin, the academic leader and master of Chinese studies, is from Linqing, Shandong Province. Ji Xianlin left his hometown at the age of 6 and came to Jinan to join his uncle. He went to private school, primary school and middle school in Jinan. Life in Jinan

, left an indelible mark on Mr. Ji.

In many of Ji Lao's essays such as "My Childhood" and "The Moon Is the Brightness of My Hometown", he mentioned his hometown and Jinan.

Mr. Ji was very satisfied with the snacks in his hometown, and even specially wrote an inscription for the shop owner named Zhang who makes the oil spin: "Soft, crispy and fragrant, the oil spin is Zhang".

Youxuan is crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and fragrant with green onions. It is named Youxuan because of its shape like a spiral and its oily and golden surface.

It is said that youxuan was learned in Nanjing by the three Xu brothers (today's Qihe County) during the Qing Dynasty when they went to the south. The taste of youxuan in the south is sweet. After the Xu brothers came to Jinan, they made it according to the dietary characteristics of northerners.

The taste of the oil spin was changed to a salty aroma, which has been passed down to this day.

At present, youxuan is available in many restaurants in Jinan, but as far as I know, there are two small shops that are more delicious. One is "Youxuan Zhang" inscribed by Ji Lao, and its address is at the intersection of Jingsiweisan Road, Shizhong District.

Another one is hidden in the street next to Laodongmen. There is a sign at the door: Jinan's famous food - Youxuan.

This is the "Youxuan Zhang" inscribed by Mr. Ji. It is located near the fourth latitude and longitude three. Although the store is not big, the taste is extraordinary!

This is a stove for making fried dough, which is a bit like a teppanyaki. The rolled dough is rolled into pancakes and topped with golden peanut oil, which quickly turns into fragrant and crispy fried dough.
