When the word "fried" becomes the source of the meanings of "fried" and "fired" in Cantonese, it is also a tortuous thing. I only know that merchants who used to use Cantonese always liked to cook a fish as the finale of the "reunion dinner" at the end of the year, and the employees who pointed their heads at the fish were also employees who were about to be fired by their bosses. Therefore, in those businesses that used to use Cantonese, and among the employees who hosted the New Year's Eve dinner, if the boss or proprietress served the table by hand when the last dish was fish, the employees pointed at by the fish head would tacitly know that they would be dismissed by the boss, so they would go back to pack their bags and prepare to leave after the New Year's Eve dinner. Therefore, in the New Year's Eve, the dish of "fired squid" is used instead of the fish that is finally cooked.
How many people know the origin and origin of the word "speculation" that is always on their lips? But it's just a parrot.
The final answer: Squid is generally produced in coastal areas all over the world, and so is China: Chaoshan, Guangdong. The dish "fired squid" comes from the people. As for who it comes from, I'm not sure, but what is certain is that it comes from a big business family.
