According to investigation, ice powder began in Wuyang (now pengshan county) in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and was founded by Wang Weiyuan, known as "Weiyuan Ice Powder" in history! Originally sold only in pengshan county, it gradually spread to neighboring cities and counties, spread to Sichuan in the middle of Qing Dynasty, flourished in the late Qing Dynasty and reached its peak during the Cultural Revolution! At that time, many people in Pengshan had several ice powder trees at home, and they were eating ice powder all over the street. Pengshan's ice powder seeds were brought to all parts of the country by educated youth, and the hometown of ice powder was famous all over the world!
There is a folk legend about Wang Weiyuan's experience of making ice powder for the first time: in the northwest of Wuyang (now Baosheng Town, pengshan county) in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, there was a wang xing family, and a female named Wang Weiyuan was born beautiful, intelligent and lovely, and filial to her parents, which was a well-known filial beauty.
One day, Weiyuan went up the mountain to pick pears, and accidentally shook the fruit of a vine (now ice powder tree) on the pear tree into a sachet. After returning home, Wang Weiyuan was surprised that there was transparent pulp overflowing from the sachet when cleaning it! Put the pulp in a bowl, and after a while the pulp will condense. Wang Weiyuan looked shiny, like ice, like powder, and couldn't help but taste it. It was cool and smooth! Weiyuan is very happy, but unfortunately it has no taste. So Weiyuan found brown sugar and water, poured it into brown sugar water, and tasted it again. It was cool and sweet! The taste is very intoxicating, and even said: "Ice powder! Ice powder! " .
Soon a bowl of bright ice powder was drunk by Wang Weiyuan! But I couldn't understand the taste, so I picked a handful of ice powder seeds from the mountain and made my own ice powder. After tasting the delicious food, Filial Piety made several bowls for her family. After my parents came back, I tasted it and was amazed. I couldn't put it down!
Seeing that parents love it so much, smart Weiyuan immediately thought that if he took it to the street to sell it, not only could more people taste the delicious ice powder, but he could also relieve some burdens for his parents! Weiyuan's idea was encouraged by his parents, and he promised to help Weiyuan support his ice powder stall. As for the name of the ice powder stall, it was of course "Weiyuan Ice Powder"!
The next day, as soon as Weiyuan went to the street to make ice powder, it immediately attracted many people to watch, and the tasters were in an endless stream! It has been known for a long time that there is a girl selling ice powder on the street in Wuyang (now Pengshan). Not only is the ice powder delicious, but she is also beautiful and easy-going, so people have jokingly called it-Weiyuan Ice Powder! Ice powder tastes good!
Since then, ice powder has become popular in Pengshan, and gradually spread to surrounding cities and counties, and gradually spread throughout Sichuan!
In the three or four hundred years of development, ice powder snacks have grown from scratch, from a county to all parts of the country, from a small workshop to a big industry, and the "Weiyuan Ice Powder" in Pengshan, Sichuan has created a miracle of snack culture!
However, in the past, it was necessary to rub the ice powder seeds by hand and then use lime water to make ice powder. The production method was troublesome and difficult to master, and it was generally difficult for laymen to make ice powder successfully, and it was not very hygienic. For a long time, ice powder was confined to Sichuan Basin, and it was difficult for foreigners to have a good time!
When mainlanders came to Sichuan to taste Pengshan's "Weiyuan Ice Powder", they were both surprised and sorry! What is amazing is the delicious and magical ice powder. Unfortunately, you can't buy ice powder when you go out of Sichuan. At most, you bring some ice powder seeds back to rub them yourself, but many people can't get it right. Even if you get it out, it is still not as delicious as the "Weiyuan Ice Powder" in Pengshan, Sichuan! This makes many people from other provinces very sorry, and it is also the reason why many ice powder operators from other provinces have failed in business!
Later, due to the historical changes and the rise of emerging drinks such as soda, ice cream and ice cream, people gradually forgot about this unsanitary and troublesome snack in difficult times, and the business of "Weiyuan Ice Powder" was also interrupted.
But after a long time, people are tired of eating new drinks! People also miss the "flavored ice powder" they tasted in their most difficult times, especially the elderly people will never forget the delicious food of that year for decades! And the new generation of teenagers are also looking forward to the emergence of new things because they are tired of steam ice cream and ice cream!
The lucky aura of history once again falls on "Weiyuan Ice Powder"!
After studying the technology of making ice powder by ancestors and repeated experiments, the descendants of Weiyuan finally extracted the effective ingredient of making ice powder directly from the ice powder seeds. This kind of product melts when it is washed with hot water, and becomes ice powder when it is cooled again, which makes the production of "Weiyuan Ice Powder" very convenient and hygienic! Not only that, but also konjac powder and seaweed powder were added to the new formula, which not only strengthened the stability of ice powder, but also added charm to the edible value of "Weiyuan Ice Powder" because konjac and seaweed both have health care functions!
This kind of "flavored ice powder" was applauded as soon as it was listed! Many people can make ice powder at home and the cost is low!
People can finally relive the delicious taste of "Weiyuan Ice Powder", which is in short supply!
In order to better promote the snack culture of Weiyuan Ice Powder and standardize the standardized production of Weiyuan Ice Powder, the descendants of Weiyuan established pengshan county Peng Zu Health Food Factory to produce Weiyuan Ice Powder!
With the regular production and supply of manufacturers, "Weiyuan Ice Powder" has once again been brought to the whole country by the vast number of "delicious mouths", and this long-lost delicacy has once again dumped countless consumers! Pengshan, a famous historical city of ice powder, is famous all over the world again!
Driven by the "taste-edge fever", many intelligent Sichuanese brought "taste-edge ice powder" to other provinces to start ice powder business, and many people made a fortune from it and dug up the first bucket of gold in their lives!
