Chapter 859: The Origin of Xiao Long Bao!

Sailors frantically brushed the barrage.

At this time, Yang Fei had already gone to the back kitchen and started to make breakfast.

"Wow!!Xiao Fei is making rice balls!"

At this time, some netizens saw that Yang Fei was making breakfast.

"Wow!!I really want to eat the breakfast that Xiaofei made. ”

"Really, I'm going to the United States!"

"I'm going too, join a team and add friends!"

"Let's go!"

"Add one! Add one!"

The barrage brushed, and Shakira walked to the back kitchen.

"Mr. Yang, what are you doing for breakfast?" Shakira said curiously.

This is called glutinous rice ball, it is a special breakfast in Pengcheng, also known as rice ball, which is to sprinkle the steamed hot glutinous rice with a layer of white sugar, and then sprinkle a layer of meat floss, sesame, sugar, etc., and then wrap it with crispy fritters, take a bite, and it is extremely sweet. It's easy to eat something savory. Yang Fei explained with a slight smile.

"Wow! Shakira smiled slightly, then saw the fragrance coming from the cage next to her, opened it, and said with a smile: "This is xiaolongbao, right?"

"Well, I didn't think you knew. Yang Fei nodded.

"I ate it once when I went to Spain and it was super tasty, so I knew it. Shakira laughed, and then asked, "Mr. Yang, can you tell me about the history of this xiaolongbao?"

"You want to know?" Yang Fei looked at her in surprise, how could a foreigner be interested in the history of xiaolongbao.

"Well, I'm super interested, as long as it's about food

"Hahaha. Yang Fei laughed, it turned out to be a foodie!

"The history of this xiaolongbao can be traced back to Beixue, and there are still similar 'soup dumplings' that have been handed down to this day, and the modern form of xiaolongbao originated in Changzhou Mansion during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, and has formed its own characteristics in various places.

For example, Changzhou is fresh and Wuxi is sweet, but they all have the common characteristics of thin skin and braised feet, fresh fragrance and deliciousness, and have also been spread in Kaifeng, Tianjin and other places.

It is difficult to verify the history of the real formation of xiaolongbao in the south of the Yangtze River in modern times, but it is generally believed that modern xiaolongbao has a genetic relationship with the "cave plum blossom buns" and "soup dumplings" in the Beixue period.

After the Jingkang Change, it evolved from the Beixue royal family when it moved south to the south of the Yangtze River, and it was the same as the soup dumplings popular in northern China, and the inheritance has not been broken for thousands of years, and has been innovated and carried forward in various places.

Changzhou Wanhua Tea House in the Qing Dynasty Daoguang period of the 'plus crab small long steamed bun', Pengcheng Nanxiang Town Huang Mingxian in 1871 created 'Nanxiang small long steamed buns", including the Qing Dynasty Guangxu popular in Wuxi Huishan Taiyuan area of Wuxi folk small long steamed buns, and Kaifeng Tianjin and other places in modern creation of small long buns, all have their own characteristics.

The Jiangnan area and other places have a long history of xiaolongbao cooking, and there are many century-old shops featuring xiaolongbao. Yang Fei introduced her with a slight smile.

"Oh, but did I go to Spain to eat from the same Huaxia?" asked Shakira.

"Well, since more than 50 years ago, Chinese immigrants ran Chinese restaurants in Spain, and Chinese xiao long bao has also begun to enjoy a good reputation among Spanish diners.

The Spanish dish is explained as: 'Chinese bread with meat in the center'.

Since the 90s of the 20th century, a large number of Chinese immigrants have entered Spain, and Huaxia restaurants have sprung up everywhere, and xiaolongbao is one of the main foods that every restaurant must have.

However, at that time, xiaolongbao was no longer written as 'xiaolongbao', but was written as 'xiaolong'.

Some write Huaxia Xiaolong", and some write 'Pengcheng Xiaolong". For this 'little dragon bun', the Spanish note is even more absolute: "The small bread of Chinese dragon meat". ”

"Who changed that?" Shakira wondered.

"As for who changed the 'xiaolongbao' to 'Xiaolong', the reporter couldn't verify it for a while, because the dragon is a symbol of China, and the Chinese people are the descendants of the dragon, and the 'little dragon' and 'giant dragon' are all Chinese people and Chinese things anyway.

Some Spanish restaurants have made bold reforms, simply interpreting 'Xiaolongbao' as: Chinese dragon bread.

As a result, the name "Dragon Bread" quickly became popular in Chinese and Western restaurants, and "Dragon Bread" is both delicious and easy to remember, unlike other Chinese food names that are not easy to say and remember. Yang Fei smiled slightly.

"Oh!!!I remember I saw someone on the Internet that someone said that this xiaolongbao has something to do with Bruce Lee, so what is the relationship?" Shakira looked at Yang Fei curiously.

It was to commemorate the outstanding contribution of martial arts superstar Bruce Lee to martial arts movies, and TV stations around the world have opened up special topics on Bruce Lee movies.

In Spain, colorful posters printed with Bruce Lee can be seen on the streets and alleys, and Spanish children are even more Brucelee (Bruce Lee) and Chinese kung fu.

At this time, the meaning of "Xiaolong Baozi" changed again, and some restaurants interpreted "Xiaolong Bao" as "martial arts superstar Bruce Lee's favorite Chinese meat bread".

The Spanish name of 'Xiaolong Baozi' is 'Brucelee', and when people order, they say to Rantang, I want Brucelee, and Rantang knows that diners want Chinese xiaolongbao. Well-known abroad and famous all over the world, xiaolongbaozi is undoubtedly a famous food among snacks. Yang Fei laughed.

"Wow! Mr. Yang, you know a lot. Shakira looked at her with adoration.

"Hahaha. Yang Fei laughed, he had an Andy searching for him, could he not know? This is all Andy helped him find it......

"Mr. Yang, since you know so much, you are telling me in detail, I will tell my friends when the time comes, they must not have heard such a detailed explanation. Shakira said, pulling out her notebook and pen.

"Okay. Yang Fei nodded in agreement when he saw that she was so curious, and then said, "This xiaolongbao is divided into many types......

Shakira listened carefully and began to remember.

"This modern form of xiaolongbao originated in Changzhou Mansion during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, there were Wanhua in ancient times, Yinggui in modern times, and now Changzhou people know that eating xiaolongbao should go to 'Yinggui'.

Founded in 1911, Yinggui Tea House is famous for its legal operation and focus on quality, and is deeply loved by the public.

The product has the characteristics of 'thin and transparent skin, rich marinade, crab fragrant, fat but not greasy, rich juice, and tender meat filling'.

Supplemented with balsamic vinegar and tender ginger, the flavor is better, which can be called a must in Changzhou. In 1985, it was rated as a high-quality product in the city, and compiled into the "snack recipe of Suzhou and Hangzhou Province", and in 1990 it was listed as one of the top ten famous spots......

Yang Fei said as Shakira wrote it down carefully.
