If you haven't remembered that the dog ignored you, just listen to this paragraph: "There are so many bamboo boards, alas, we won't praise others!" I boast that this traditional food-Goubuli steamed stuffed bun! What's so good about this Goubuli steamed stuffed bun? It is thin skin, big stuffing and eighteen folds, just like a flower. "
Tianjin tune with Tianjin flavor, this Goubuli steamed stuffed bun is not only a well-known allegro in Tianjin, but also a legend of Goubuli.
Legend has it that there was a farmer in the suburb of Tianjin, who was only happy when he was forty years old. In order to seek peace, he took a nickname "Dog Son". When the dog reaches the age of fourteen, he has to go to the city to learn art and work as a waiter in a steamed food shop. The dog is ingenious, diligent and studious, and has practiced a good job. However, his poor family is always looked down upon, and then he is constantly teased. So the dog was unwilling to be placed under the fence and be at the mercy of others, so he set up a steamed stuffed bun stall. Dog's steamed stuffed bun is unique under his thinking. Fine materials and exquisite production. In terms of materials, fresh pork with 70% thinness and 30% fatness is selected for the stuffing of steamed stuffed buns, and the first-class soy sauce is used to find the mouth. Then, sesame oil, monosodium glutamate, minced onion and ginger are added, and water is added while stirring, and diced meat is made into water stuffing. The skin of steamed stuffed bun uses semi-fermented "one arch fat" noodles. In terms of workmanship, there are clear specifications and standards for kneading dough, pulling agent, rolling skin, stuffing, pinching bags, putting drawers on the stove, and the pinched steamed buns are well-proportioned, with no less than fifteen or six pleats for each steamed bun.
This technology of filling with water and half-baked flour makes the steamed stuffed bun taste soft, delicious and not greasy, and more and more people come to eat steamed stuffed buns, and the business is very prosperous. The dog was too busy to talk to the customers, and everyone joked, "Dogs ignore people when they sell buns." After a long time, the steamed stuffed bun became a "dog ignored" after shouting smoothly.
It is said that when Yuan Shikai was training a new army in Tianjin, he also brought Goubuli steamed stuffed bun into the palace and presented it to Empress Dowager Cixi. After eating the steamed stuffed bun, she was particularly happy, saying, "The wild animals in the mountains are flying in the clouds, and the cattle and sheep in the hinterland are fresh on the seabed, which is not as good as Goubuli's fragrance, and the food will last forever." As a result, Goubuli became famous.
Nowadays, Goubuli Steamed Bun has been a well-known overseas brand by adhering to the traditional craft and pioneering and innovating, and "Goubuli" has also become a famous trademark in China. The Goubuli Head Office on Shandong Road in Tianjin and the Goubuli Hotel on Heping Road are important means for Goubuli to develop into a brand. More sales outlets can also meet the consumption requirements of the majority of diners. Although times have changed, the dog ignores the taste, and the authentic Tianjin flavor is surrounded by steaming steamed buns, which makes people salivate!
On the train leaving Tianjin, there is a kind of gift that can't help attracting people's attention, because basically every traveler from other places in Tianjin carries a very delicate box with basically the same color and the same shape, with red as the main color, and the huge twist is impressively printed on the outer box. Of course, the twist in the box is also the famous Guifaxiang 18th Street.
Some people call this kind of twist "Guifaxiang Twist" and others call it "18th Street Twist", but the two names are the same thing. It is called "Guifaxiang" because the founders of twist here are brothers Fan Guicai and Fan Guilin. They once opened two twist shops, "Guifaxiang" and "Guifacheng". Later, the two shops merged and became "Guifaxiang". It is called "18th Street" because both of these shops were located in 18th Street, Dagu South Road, Tianjin, which was named after the place. And we are here to show that these two kinds of twist are produced by one company, so we call it Guifaxiang 18th Street Twist.
I always think that this kind of twist has two unique skills. One is the "unique" technology: the main ingredients are flour, peanut oil and sugar, and more than a dozen small ingredients such as sweet-scented osmanthus and green plum are added. It needs fat, sugar boiling, ingredients, stuffing, dough mixing, layering, splitting, aligning, forming and frying 10. It consists of ten thin strips, and a crisp stuffing containing sweet-scented osmanthus, ginger, peach kernel, melon strips and other small materials is sandwiched between the white strips and hemp strips, and twisted into three flowers to become a mixed stuffed big twist. In the process of frying, the size of pastry should be adjusted according to the quality of flour, and the weight loss and alkali dosage should be increased to adapt to the change of temperature, so as to ensure the feeding ratio. Therefore, after the twist is formed, it can be placed in a dry and ventilated place for several months without odor, softness and deterioration. Finally, put the twist into the peanut oil pan and fry it thoroughly on a low fire, then clip in the rock sugar block and sprinkle with small ingredients such as green red silk and melon strips. Crispy and sweet, better than crisp sugar. The second is the "unique" packaging. In the 2002 "China Star" National Packaging and Logo Design Competition, the packaging of Guifaxiang 18th Street Twist won the gold medal in the food packaging category. This unified brand positioning makes the packaging picture of the product intuitive and distinctive, which adapts to the requirements of domestic and foreign products. Through packaging, it improves profits and opens up the international market. Guifaxiang Twist Diet Group Company, located at No.25 Qianjin Road, Hexi District, covers an area of 10,000 square meters, and is sure to meet your taste and smell requirements. Otherwise, you will pick up a few boxes of twists on your way home, and enjoy them slowly when you get home.
There are three unique skills in Tianjin: one is that dogs ignore them, the other is that Gui Faxiang, and these three are ears and eyes.
Erduoyan is not the size of fried cakes, but because Liu Wanchun, the founder of Fried Cakes Liu, made a living by selling fried cakes all the year round at the exit of Erduoyan Hutong outside the north gate and gradually formed a unique style, so he was dubbed Erduoyan Fried Cakes. The traditional method of making Erduoyan fried cake is to select the first-class fresh sticky yellow rice from Beihe River and Xihe River, water mill, ferment, alkali and knead to make dough. Choose high-quality adzuki beans to boil, use copper wire to rub sand, add brown sugar juice and stir-fry them into bean paste stuffing. Deep-fried cake dough, first put warm oil into the pot, then add high heat to fry thoroughly.
The fried cake made by this method is cooked properly, and it is neither burnt nor stuffed. After being cooked, it is even in thickness and golden yellow, and the fried cake is large, which makes it "high-risk" and has auspicious meaning of wishing customers a higher income.
Ear-shaped fried cakes are quite big, and people who queue up to buy fried cakes only buy three or five at a time, but this is the amount that the whole family can eat. Besides, this kind of fried cakes is tender, sweet and crisp, and deeply loved by Tianjin people. If you go to Beimenwai Street opposite the big hutong to buy ear-shaped fried cakes, you will really be in a hurry if you don't line up.
If you come to Tianjin again this time, remember to taste these authentic Tianjin flavors, so that these attractive smells floating in the air can become the delicious food in your mouth. I hope you are used to the taste of Tianjin people. I hope it has a history and a delicious taste of Tianjin is one of your good memories when you stay in Tianjin.
