"Goubuli" steamed stuffed bun is a famous flavor in Tianjin. It is white and soft, the size is the same, and the bottom side is the same thickness. It is oily when bitten, but it is not greasy and tastes very delicious. Why does it have this feature? It turns out that it is particular about materials and production.

However, how can local snacks, which has such a distinctive flavor, take such a strange name as "Goubuli"?

Legend has it that in the Qing Dynasty, there lived a young man named Gao Youyou in Yangcun, Wuqing County, near Tianjin. He was stubborn since childhood and was famous for his stubbornness. If he disobeyed his temper, Jiutou Niu would not be able to pull it back, and no one would care. On this day, some noble stubbornness broke out again, and his father scared him to ignore it. His mother advised him to ignore it, that is, twisting his neck and saying nothing. His mother sighed and said, "You are such a stubbornness, what a dog ignores it!" It means that he is so bad-tempered that even the dog won't talk to him. The nickname "Goubuli" spread like this.

In a blink of an eye, Gao Gui has grown to 14 years old, and his temper is still very grumpy and stubborn. His father was afraid that he would make trouble in the village, so he asked someone to take him to Tianjin to learn some skills and find something to do. Liu's steamed food shop, which happens to be located on the edge of the Tianjin South Canal, needs a waiter, so it is introduced to the noble.

Liu's Steamed Food Shop mainly deals in steamed food and meat buns, supplying boatmen, trackers and small traders who make a living on the canal. His work is very heavy. Although he is noble and has a bad temper, he is used to suffering from snacks, so he works very hard and the masters in the shop like him very much. Some noble people are also very smart. As soon as they learn something, they will learn it. Therefore, the store specially asked him to learn how to make steamed buns. Because of his diligence and eagerness to learn, and the careful guidance of the masters, Noble has made progress in making steamed buns and soon became famous.

After three years as a teacher, Guiyouyou has mastered all kinds of skills in making steamed buns, so he became independent and opened a snack bar specializing in steamed buns. Because he is noble, has good craftsmanship, works very seriously and never adulterates, the steamed stuffed bun he made is particularly delicious, and his reputation soon rang, and more and more people came to eat his steamed stuffed bun. Because people used to shout his nickname "Goubuli", they also called his buns "Goubuli" by the way. I didn't expect this special name to make his business more prosperous.

Noble business is getting better and better, and more and more people feel that the nickname of "Goubuli" is ugly, so they give their shop an elegant brand name, called "Deju". Although this brand name is nice, people still "Goubuli" does not leave their mouths.

One day, several foreign businessmen came to taste the "Goubuli" steamed stuffed bun, and when they entered the door, they asked, "Boss, is this" Goubuli "?" On hearing this, Gao Gui immediately became angry, craned his neck and said gruffly, "We have a signboard here, which is the Deju. Do you have eyes?" Dog ignore' is over there, go early. " At first glance, the merchants did not "ignore the dog". They turned around and went out to look for a circle, then turned around and said to the noble, "You just ignore the dog!" What a joke! " Noble has a look, this nickname can't be broken, and now even outsiders know it, so there is no way but to let others call it.

In this way, the name of "Goubuli" spread more and more widely, and "Goubuli" steamed stuffed bun became more and more popular and became a famous traditional snack in China.
