The dog came to Tianjin to study at the age of fourteen, and worked as a waiter in Liu Jia Steamed Restaurant near Tianjin South Canal. Dogs are ingenious and curious. Under the careful guidance of the masters, this noble friend's skill in making steamed bread has been continuously improved, and he soon became famous.
After three years as a teacher, Gui Youyou mastered all kinds of skills in making steamed buns, so he independently opened a snack bar specializing in making steamed buns-"Dejuhao". He added a proper amount of water in the ratio of 3: 7 to lean fresh pork, supplemented by ribs soup or belly soup, and added ground sesame oil, special soy sauce, Jiang Mo, chopped green onion, monosodium glutamate and so on. Mix them carefully into buns. The steamed stuffed bun skin is semi-hairy, and it is rolled into a round skin with a diameter of about 8.5 cm and a uniform thickness after rubbing the strips. Wrap the stuffing, knead it carefully with your fingers, and at the same time twist it hard. Each steamed bread has a fixed number of 15 pleats with uniform pleat density, such as white chrysanthemum. Finally, steam in the furnace with hard gas.
Because Gui Guiyou's craftsmanship is good, his work is very serious, and he never adulterates it. The steamed stuffed bun made by Gui Guiyou is soft in taste, fresh and fragrant, not greasy, and looks like chrysanthemum. It attracts people from thousands of miles away to eat steamed stuffed buns, and the business is very prosperous, and it soon becomes famous. As more and more people come to eat his buns, Gui You is too busy to talk to customers. As a result, the person who ate steamed stuffed bun called him "a dog selling steamed stuffed bun, ignoring people". Over time, people called him "Goubuli" and the steamed stuffed bun he operated as "Goubuli Steamed Bun", but the original store name was gradually forgotten.
It is said that Yuan Shikai was the governor of Zhili, and when he was training the new army in Tianjin, he gave the "Goubuli" steamed stuffed bun as a tribute to Empress Dowager Cixi in Beijing. Empress Dowager Cixi was overjoyed after tasting it, and said, "Wild geese in the mountains, cattle and sheep on the land, and fresh seabed are not as good as dogs ignoring incense and eating for a long time." Since then, Goubuli steamed stuffed bun has gained a great reputation and gradually opened semicolons in many places.
Later, Gui Youyou suddenly used his quick wits and came up with a new idea of doing business: even if there are several baskets of clean chopsticks on the table in the store, customers will buy steamed bread. He asked to put the change in the bowl first, and then he priced the buns according to the amount of money in the bowl. Customers eat steamed buns, put down their bowls and chopsticks and leave the shop, while aristocratic friends are too busy to say a word from beginning to end. So the neighbors made fun of him and said, "Paparazzi sell buns and ignore them." Later, good neighbors named his steamed stuffed bun shop "Goubuli", and the steamed stuffed bun he made was called "Goubuli Steamed Bun", and noble friends did not object. Once the name of this shop spread, it became well-known and has been passed down to this day. It can be said that it is enduring!
Goubuli steamed stuffed bun is famous all over the country for its delicious taste and enjoys a good reputation at home and abroad. Goubuli steamed buns are very popular. The key lies in its fine materials and exquisite production. There are some unique skills in material selection, formula, stirring, kneading and rolling, and there are clear specifications and standards in workmanship, especially in the symmetry of steamed stuffed bun pleats, each steamed stuffed bun is 15 pleats. The steamed stuffed bun just taken out of the drawer is uniform in size, white in color and soft in face. It looks like an autumn chrysanthemum in bud in the fog. Refreshing and comfortable, a bite, oily as water, fragrant but not greasy, has always won the favor of the general public and friends from all over the world.
