In June of the same year, Xiaoyao Hulatang Association sent representatives to participate in the National Chinese Famous Food Competition held in Xiamen, and Xiaoyao Hulatang was awarded the title of "Chinese Famous Food" by China Cuisine Association. In 2004, seven sets of CCTV "Zhi Fu Jing" columns carried out special publicity reports on Xiaoyao Hula Decoction. In 2005, Dahe Daily made a full-page publicity introduction to Xiaoyao Hula Decoction for three consecutive days. On April 23rd, 2006, the second China Xihua Xiaoyao Hot Soup Food Festival was held in Xiaoyao Town.

At present, supermarkets in large and medium-sized cities in the province have exclusive areas for Hu spicy soup, and all counties and towns have sales points for Hu spicy soup, so that thousands of ordinary people can taste carefree Hu spicy soup with full color, flavor and unique flavor without leaving home. At the end of the Republic of China, due to frequent wars, social unrest, banditry, and the capture of Ding in the warlord melee, the market was depressed, and it never rains but it pours, and Zhao's Hu spicy soup head became addicted to cigarettes again. When he first started smoking heavy cigarettes, his family was well off. After he became addicted to cigarettes, he quickly squandered his meager family income. The family has a hard life. In desperation, they kicked him out of the house and left him to fend for himself.
When Zhao's head lived in the street, he lived on credit. Neighbors pity him and send him something occasionally. However, with the aggravation of smoking addiction, he soon owed a lot of debts, the most of which was Wang Laohan, who set up a stall to sell fish soup and braised soup. For a time, in order to pay off his debts, he made up his mind to give up drug addiction and return to his old job, but he had no money and could not buy medicine for soup. There is a pharmacy buddy named Wei, who is an apprentice of Longyihe Pharmacy from Shaanxi. He sympathized with his experience, so he stole some medicine from the drugstore quietly according to the recipe of Hu spicy soup he gave him and asked him to make Hu spicy soup. This can be said to be the first time that people outside Zhao have got the prescription of Hu spicy soup.
Before long, Boss Zhao smoked again. This time, he smoked harder than before. He felt that he could never get rid of this "evil influence" again, so he gave up and sat down and waited for death. Thinking that there was still a large debt to pay, he decided to use the cooking skills and formula of Hu spicy soup to pay off the debt. After he taught Wang Guoyu, Wang Laohan's son, the cooking skills of Hu Spicy Soup, his health had completely collapsed. When he died, he told Wang Laohan that Wei Xiniu had the ingredients of Hu spicy soup, and then he died. Later, he got the recipe of Hu spicy soup from Wei and became the most famous Hu spicy soup master in Xiaoyao Town during the Republic of China.
After liberation, the state reformed the handicraft industry and industry and commerce, and Xiaoyao Town gathered these skilled chefs to form cooperatives, so that each chef could perform and get paid according to his cooking skills. Among these people, there is Wang Guoyu, the master of making Hu spicy soup. During the performance, the chefs exchanged needed goods, and soon mastered the making method of Hu spicy soup, among which the best one was. According to Mr. Hou Kequan, the famous people who made Hu spicy soup later, such as Zhang, Gao and Yang, all learned their skills in the cooperative at that time. Mr. Hou Kequan knows so many stories about Hu spicy soup because Mr. Hou's father made friends with Wei and Wei, and wrote them down when listening to several adults chatting when he was young.
The spring breeze caresses the face and is happy.
Hu spicy soup really developed after the reform and opening up. According to Liu Jianwei, Secretary General of Xiaoyao Grass Skirt Soup Association, Xiaoyao Town Grass Skirt Soup has been full of vitality since 1980s. At the beginning, the ordinary people in Xiaoyao Town had not come out of the shadow of "cutting the tail of capitalism", and only local Muslims secretly made it and sold it, and they were still worried. Gradually, others also saw the benefits, and some people began to go out of their homes and hang up the brand of Xiaoyao Town Hu Spicy Soup in other areas. First, Luohe (the nearest prefecture-level city to Xiaoyao Town), then Zhengzhou, Luoyang and Kaifeng. Later, it went to Heihe in the north, Haikou in the south, Tianshan in the west and the sea in the east. Xiaoyaozhen hot soup has spread all over the country.
Xiaoyao Town Government established Xiaoyao Huiguo Soup Association on February 15, 2003, hoping to turn Xiaoyao Town Huiguo Soup into a real Henan brand with a standardized chain operation mode, change the image of Huiguo Soup in people's minds, and let more people know it, accept it and like it.
It is reported that Xiaoyao Hulatang Association is registering the trademark of Xiaoyao Town Hulatang. Because someone registered this trademark, Xiaoyao Town Government is negotiating with the other party to solve it. I certainly hope that they can get the trademark "Xiaoyao Town Hu Spicy Soup", because no matter from the historical and practical point of view, this trademark should belong to them and no one should take it away. The origin of Hu spicy soup: It is said that during Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, the emperor was busy with monasticism and wanted to live forever. In order to please the emperor, Yan Song Yan Ge, a scholar in the cabinet, took people everywhere to find the secret recipe, only to find one in the hands of a Taoist priest. The Taoist priest said that this recipe could prolong life, so Yan Song offered it, and the chef cooked the soup according to this recipe. After Emperor Jiajing took it, he was refreshed and refreshed. Moreover, because in this soup, the royal chef specially added valuable supplements such as ginseng, which is the so-called "golden soup", it can really be described as "palace jade liquid soup", which is delicious only for the royal family! At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing soldiers entered the customs, and the chef Zhao Qi fled to Xiaoyao Town, the original town of China, with this secret recipe. Unable to bear the loss of this soup, it spread to local residents. Since then, the local people have passed it down from generation to generation and regarded it as a treasure. After many changes and improvements, it has become a treasure on the local table. Therefore, the soup is spicy and appetizing, and later it was gradually called "Hu spicy soup" by the locals.
Anecdote of Hu spicy soup: According to legend, Hu spicy soup cured the cold of Yu Qian, a famous official in Ming Dynasty. According to "Selected Works of Memorial Hall for Yu Qian", Yu Qian was the governor of Henan and Shanxi provinces and lived in Kaifeng. One year, he celebrated his birthday in Zhengzhou, found a "Hu Ji" restaurant according to the frugal practice, drank a bowl of hot soup and spent his birthday. This unique birthday food made Yu Qian deeply remember its delicacy.
On one occasion, Yu Qian returned from a visit to Shanxi and passed by Zheng County (now Zhengzhou). Due to the fatigue of the journey and busy business, he fell ill with a cold for several days and did not recover. One night, Yu Qian suddenly remembered the soup of Hu Ji and sent someone to buy it. The shopkeeper of "Hu Ji" heard that the governor wanted to eat, so he put enough seasoning and made it carefully. Yu Qian broke out in a big sweat after dinner, and the next day he was light and healthy, and he was fine without knowing it. Yu Qian sealed twelve taels of silver, thanked the shopkeeper Hu for his kindness in treating diseases, and suggested naming Tang after Hu. Since then, this soup has become "Hu spicy soup".
After the Qing Dynasty, there were many people selling hot soup in Zhengzhou. However, because the Qing Dynasty was founded by Manchu people, people dared not say the word "Hu" more, and the soup looked mushy, and "Hu" and "paste" were homophonic, so Hu spicy soup was later changed to silly spicy soup, which has been used ever since.
Now, Hu spicy soup has been used to being called Hu spicy soup, also known as "Palace Royal Brocade Soup".
