In 1831 (the eleventh year of Qing Daoguang), Gao Guiyou, the founder of "Dog Ignore Buns", was born in Xiazhuzhuang (now Wuqing District, Tianjin), directly under Wuqing County. Because his father had a son at the age of forty, in order to seek peace, he adopted his son by the name "Dog", hoping that he would be as good as a puppy.

When Gao Guiyou was 14 years old, he went to the Liu family steaming shop on the edge of the South Canal in Tianjin to work as a young man. Because of the ingenuity and diligence of the mind, coupled with the guidance of the masters, the craftsmanship of noble friends in making buns has continued to grow, and they have practiced a good job. After three years of completion, Gao Guiyou opened a snack shop specializing in buns by himself - "Deju No." Because of the good craftsmanship of noble friends, work very seriously, never adulterated, the buns made are soft in taste, fresh and not greasy, shaped like chrysanthemums, color and fragrance are unique, and the business is very prosperous. More and more people came to eat his buns, and the noble friends were too busy to talk to customers, so that people who ate buns jokingly called him "dogs sell buns and ignore people". Over time, people shouted smoothly, calling him "dog ignore", and called the bun he operated "dog ignore bun", but the original store name was gradually forgotten by people.
When Gao Guiyou first founded the "Deju" snack shop, he mixed fresh pork with an appropriate amount of water, accompanied by pork rib soup or belly soup, plus small ground sesame oil, special soy sauce, ginger, minced green onion, seasoning, etc., and mixed into a bun filling. The skin of the bun is made of half a hair noodle, and after rubbing the strips and putting the agent, it is rolled out into a thin and uniform round skin with a diameter of about 8.5 cm. Wrap in the filling, carefully fold it with your fingers, and twist the pleats vigorously, the pleats are dense and consistent, like white chrysanthemums, and finally steamed with hard air on the stove.
In 1916 (the fifth year of the Republic of China), Gao Guiyou died of illness, and his son Gao Jinming inherited the property, and set up a semicolon on The East Street of Nanshi in the following year. In 1932 (the twenty-first year of the Republic of China), the Hou family was relocated to the mouth of the Beidaguan Bridge. In 1937 (the 26th year of the Republic of China), the old number and semicolon were merged and relocated to the back door of Tianxiang Shopping Mall (now Liaoning Road), and the new name "Deju" was established. In 1947 (the 36th year of the Republic of China), Gao Huanwen, the son of Gao Jinming, inherited the industry and operated until it closed in 1952. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, in 1956, Tianjin municipalized dog buns and moved the store to Shandong Road in Heping District, and later set up a branch in Nanshi Food Street. In 2001, the "Dog Ignore" main store was expanded.
With the development of "dog disregard", the breeds operated are also innovating on the basis of inheriting the tradition, and gradually form 6 categories and 98 varieties of buns. The technicians have carefully developed chicken, duck, fish, meat, seafood and seasonal vegetables, wild vegetables, fungi as raw materials, using steaming, boiling, roasting, roasting and other cooking techniques to make "golden needle bun", "dragon and phoenix bun", "Mandarin duck bun", "parsley bun", "assorted bun", "prawn leek bun" and so on.

There was nothing else to eat, and the little treasurer's clever move made people put the dim sum residue and twist noodles together to make twist under the pan and fry. The result is that the fried twist flowers are different from the previous ones, except that they are crispy and fragrant, and the taste is delicious.
