Origin of Tianjin Goubuli steamed stuffed bun:

It is said that this steamed stuffed bun shop was opened in Tongzhi period of Qing Dynasty. The owner's surname is Gao Minggui, and the child's name is "paparazzi". According to Guiyou's mother, Guiyou had a stubborn temper when he was a child. When he got up, he didn't even let the dog play tricks on him. ?

Therefore, the neighbors made fun of him and called him "dog neglect". Later, Gao Gui went to learn to cook. His steamed stuffed bun is not only exquisite in material selection, but also exquisite in craftsmanship. Delicious and distinctive, it is well received and loved by diners. Empress Dowager Cixi liked the smell very much and couldn't help praising it. Since then, this kind of steamed stuffed bun, "a dragon, the price is ten times", is also famous in the world, and the business is getting more and more prosperous. More and more customers come to taste steamed stuffed buns every day, and they often come to weddings in droves. Later, Guiyouyou suddenly came up with a new business idea: even if there were several baskets of clean chopsticks on the table in the shop, customers wanted to buy steamed bread. He asked to put the change in the bowl first and then pay the steamed bread according to the amount in the bowl. The customer finished eating jiaozi, put down the chopsticks and left the store, and was busy with noble friends from beginning to end without saying a word. Neighbors made fun of him and said, "Paparazzi don't care if they sell steamed buns." Later, his shop was named Goubuli by dense neighbors, and his steamed bread was called to believe, without opposition from noble friends. Once the name of this shop spread, it was well-known and spread to this day, which can be described as a long-lasting prosperity.
