In 1930s, in order to meet the market demand, he innovated the making method of steamed stuffed bun. Instead of using half-baked dough and thin-skinned lean meat to mix pigskin jelly cakes and adding glutinous rice, cooking wine, seed oil, sweet noodle sauce, sesame oil, etc. To make stuffing, he used dead flour as the skin and sugar and monosodium glutamate as the stuffing. Through the "three hard and three soft" dough, the gluten is tough and smooth, and it does not leak soup or clothes. It also changed the big cage into a small cage, served in the cage, steamed while eating, and steamed constantly, which not only kept the temperature and shape of steamed buns perfect, but also was easy to operate and well received by customers. This is soup steamed buns. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the soup dumplings were carried forward. In particular, the soup-filling bag operated by the "first floor steamed bun shop" initiated by Huang Jishan has become more distinctive through the continuous improvement of famous teachers. Thin skin and big stuffing, the soup is oily, soft, tender and delicious, and white and smooth. You can lift it like a lantern or put it down like a chrysanthemum. It is famous far and near, attracting a large number of Kaifeng citizens and Chinese and foreign tourists, most of whom enjoy tasting this food.

There is such a legend about baozi. According to legend, more than 600 years ago, at the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang rebelled against the world. 1356, Zhu Yuanzhang led the rebels to Jinhua, Zhejiang. Because the Yuan soldiers guarding the city had long been on guard, they raised the city wall by seven feet and added a gate of 10 thousand Jin to the gate. The rebels attacked Kuya for nine days, but they still couldn't break the city, so they had to camp outside the city. Zhu Yuanzhang and his generals, Chang Yuchun and Hu Dahai, were very anxious. They discussed ways to break the city day and night. One night, General Chang couldn't sleep at night, pacing outside the account and thinking about the plan to break the city. Suddenly, he found that the city gate was opened, and the ten thousand Jin city gate rose slowly. Only Yuan Bing and a group of migrant workers went to the river to fetch water secretly. Chang Yuchun quickly woke Hu Dahai and the uprising soldiers and rushed to the gate. General Chang shouldered his army on the gate of ten thousand Jin and shouted, "Brothers, rush into the city!" " In an instant, the insurgents rushed to the city in droves. Chang Yuchun's shoulder was heavily braked. After a long time, he was hungry. At this time, snacks such as steamed bread and vegetable soup were brought from the camp, so Chang Yuchun asked Hu Dahai to pull them out and feed them to him. Chang Yuchun is really hungry. As he wolfed down the steamed stuffed bun, he kept urging: "Soup, steamed stuffed bun, soup, steamed stuffed bun ..." Hu Dahai looked at his comrade-in-arms who was sweating like a pig, and gave him a plan to let a soldier pour the soup into the steamed stuffed bun first and then feed the steamed stuffed bun into his mouth. Chang Yuchun ate, feel throat moist, strength. It was not until the soldiers rushed into the city that he put down the 10,000-pound brake. Later, Chang Yuchun asked Hu Dahai, "What delicious food did you feed me that day, which made me more energetic?" Hu Dahai said with a smile: "You ordered the' Tang Bao'!" Chang Yuchun also smiled and said, "If it weren't for your soup bag, I would have been crushed to death by the brakes of 10,000 Jin." Later, people also made soup dumplings through this legend.
