History of Changzhou Special Snacks Steamed Buns
Steamed buns are famous snacks in the south of the Yangtze River, such as Shanghai, Suzhou, Changzhou, Wuxi, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Wuhu and Jiangxi. They originated in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province during Daoguang period in Qing Dynasty, and were initiated by Wanhua Teahouse at that time. According to legend, it evolved from the famous "Dongmei Steamed Bread" in Wang Lou in the Northern Song Dynasty, and was brought to Jiangnan by the royal family in the Northern Song Dynasty and gradually formed. Changzhou steamed buns are delicious, while Wuxi steamed buns are sweet. Shanghai Nanxiang Xiaolong, born in Tongzhi for ten years in the late Qing Dynasty, has a long history and enjoys a good reputation at home and abroad. When and where steamed bread was born has always been difficult to accurately verify. The more concentrated view is that it was born in the middle of Qing Dynasty, in today's Changzhou and Wuxi areas. In Qing Dynasty, Wuxi county was under the jurisdiction of Changzhou government, and steamed buns were the embodiment of food culture in this area.

In ancient times, there were thousands of flowers, and in modern times, there were welcoming Guangxi. Today, everyone in Changzhou knows that eating steamed buns means "welcome to Guangxi" (welcome to Guangxi steamed buns). Guiying Teahouse was established in 19 1 1. It is well-known for its good management and quality, and is deeply loved by the public. The product has the characteristics of "thin and transparent skin, rich marinade, crab fragrance, fat but not greasy, juicy and fresh meat", supplemented by balsamic vinegar and tender ginger, which has a better flavor and is a must for Changzhou. 1985 was rated as the city's high-quality product, which was listed in Jiangsu Snack Menu, and 1990 was listed as one of the top ten famous spots by Changzhou Municipal People's Government.

Understand:

Crab steamed stuffed bun is a traditional seasonal snack in Changzhou, which is available every year around the Mid-Autumn Festival when osmanthus flowers are in full bloom. Crab buns were originally called crab buns. Changzhou people have always called steamed buns, steamed buns.

Steamed buns can be divided into three types: those with numbers, those with embedments and those with crabs. Among them, "the same number" means no crab oil; "Face-to-face mosaic" means that six buns in a cage are made of crabs, and the other six are made without crab oil; "Add crab" means all crab oil.

A cage of steamed buns is also called a guest, so the old Changzhou people often eat steamed buns with the same name: "Two guests are against each other." Or: "Ten guests with crabs, I want to take them to Shanghai." Old diners usually just order "match". Old diners think that only a steamed bread with crab roe and a flower steamed bread with crab roe can fully appreciate the delicious taste of crab roe. If you always eat with crabs, your mouth will be a little dull, and you will not feel the umami taste of crabs more and more. That's why the established name "anti-theft" came into being. [ 1]
