Each century-old shop has its own story behind it, let's see why Laobian dumplings can be called the world's first?
The founder of this old side dumpling, everyone can guess it: his surname is Bian. His full name is "Bian Fan", and Bian Lao Han is actually not from Shenyang, but from Hebei. He opened a dumpling shop in his hometown of Hebei, which was not very wealthy, but barely able to feed himself. However, during the Daoguang years, there was a great famine in Hebei, the people did not have enough grain to feed themselves, and the government increased the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, so the people could not survive at all. So they decided to flee the wilderness, and Hebei set off a wave of desertion, and many people left their hometowns.
The old man who is mixed in with it is naturally no exception, after all, during the famine period, no one will spend money to eat at his dumpling shop. The old man decided to flee to the northeast of the White Mountains and Black Water, and on the night he had just arrived in the northeast, something happened that changed his fate. It was one night in 1829, and the old man was staying in a family, and it happened that the family was wishing the old lady a happy birthday, so he gave the old man a bowl of dumplings to fill his hunger. After the old man ate it, he was deeply impressed by the delicious taste of the dumplings, and he humbly asked the master's family for advice. The owner looked at the old man and told him the secret of the dumplings: it turned out that in order to make the old lady eat comfortably, the family used a pot to sauté and then wrap it, so the dumplings made were fat and not greasy, soft and delicious.
The old man of bian deeply engraved the secret that his master told him in his mind, and later he settled down on the bank of the moat of Ozu Bridge outside the Xiaodongmen Gate of Shenyang and decided to open another dumpling restaurant. He named his dumpling restaurant "Laobian Dumpling Restaurant", because of the use of secret filling methods, Laobian Dumpling Restaurant attracted many people, and the reputation of the shop gradually became loud. To this day, Laobian Dumplings has left Shenyang and opened branches in Beijing, Changchun, Xi'an, and even Japan.
