Scribes, the north is mostly called wontons, some places in Shandong are called wontons, and Guangdong is called Wonton. Wontons are a food used by folk sacrifices. In the Song Dynasty's "Wulin Past Events", it is recorded: "Enjoying the first is wontons, and there is a proverb of 'winter wontons, annual wontons'." Your family seeks curiosity, a vessel of more than ten colors, called 'hundred flavor dumplings.' "In fact, after the Southern Song Dynasty, wontons have long been passed down to the market, and it was one of the beautiful points at that time. Northern Qi Yanzhi said: "Today's wontons are shaped like a crescent moon, and the world is also full of food."
Such snacks, whether north or south, east and west, are famous snacks, such as Tianjin's hammer chicken wontons, Huzhou's big wontons, Shaoxing's shrimp steamed wontons, Wuxi Wang Xingji wontons, Guangzhou's fish wontons, Sichuan's Chengdu Dragon scribes, Chongqing Wu scribes, Wenjiang Cheng scribes, Neijiang chicken mushroom scribes, Wanxian haibao noodles, etc., are quite well-known.
In 1941, Chengdu Dragon Scribe opened in Yuelaichang. In the 1950s, the new market was moved, and after the 1960s, the Dragon Scribe moved to the southern section of Chunxi Road to the present day. According to legend, zhang Guangwu and several other shareholders gathered at the "Strong Flower Tea Garden" before the opening to discuss the establishment of a copy shop. When the name of the shop was discussed, someone proposed to borrow the harmonic sound of the word "thick" of the strong flower tea house "dragon" to pray for good luck. He also said that my generation is the descendant of the dragon, the descendants of The Chinese people are endless, and our cause will be passed on from generation to generation and will always prosper. Zhang Guangwu and others unanimously expressed their approval, believing that whether the dragon scribe was supplemented with red soup, clear soup or milk soup, as long as there was water, the dragon would surely come alive, and a generation of famous snacks "dragon scribes" was born.
At the beginning of the store, it was mainly engaged in the operation of copying hands, and also engaged in glass roast sales, Hanyang chicken and so on. The varieties of the scribes are original soup, stewed chicken, seafood, clear soup, sour and spicy, red oil and so on. The main characteristics of the dragon scribe are: thin skin, tender filling, fresh soup. The skin is made of premium flour with a little ingredient, kneaded and kneaded slowly, and rolled out to make a translucent form that is "as thin as paper and as fine as silk". The meat filling is tender and smooth, mellow and delicious. The original soup of the Dragon Scribe is made from the meat of chicken, duck and pig, simmered slowly, and the original soup is white, thick and fragrant.
At that time, there were many stores in Chengdu for sale, and if you want to do a good job in business, you must first pay attention to quality and characteristics. It is said that shareholders such as Zhang Guangwu pay attention to learning from the experience of their predecessors. At that time, someone once introduced to them: In ancient times, when doing scribes, we should pay attention to two points, one is that the soup should be clear. The Tang Dynasty Duan Cheng-style "Youyang Miscellaneous Tricks" said: "Nowadays, there are Xiao family wontons, and the fat soup can be soaked." The Qing Dynasty Yuan Ming's "Suiyuan Food List" also said: "Mr. Deng Zhicheng is commenting on the "Tokyo Dream Hualu" 'small wontons, little sister longan, with chicken soup'. It also mentions that 'there is only one kind of wonton, and it is also expensive clear soup'. In the past years, the beauty of the wonton soup was given to the U.S. and the yan could be written." Second, the filling should be fine. The Yuan Dynasty Ni Zhan's "Collection of Dietary Systems in Yunlintang" records a method of boiling wontons: "Finely cut meat dumplings, human bamboo shoot rice or white russet, leeks, vine flowers can be used, with a little Sichuan pepper almond sauce and hook wrapped, the skin is slightly thicker and smaller, cut square, and then rolled thin with real powder." When the soup is boiled, swirl it around with a very boiling soup. Do not cover, wait for the floating stool to rise, do not stir again. Do not use sand kernels in the filling, use only belching. ”
Dragon scribes learned from these two points of experience, pay attention to the soup clear filling, in addition to paying special attention to the thin skin, and noodles, add the right amount of eggs, eat the dough skin tough and chewy head. In order to make the filling tender, pure pork is used and water is added to make a water filling. According to the characteristics of Sichuan, it is accompanied by a variety of flavors such as clear soup, red oil, seafood, stewed chicken, sour and spicy, and original soup.
In the 1980s, dragon scribes rebuilt the new building on the original site. Now Long Scribe is a four-storey comprehensive restaurant with a business area of 1200 square meters, simple decoration and elegant style, which is the best in Chengdu catering and entertainment venues.
