In the Song Dynasty, the Jin army invaded on a large scale, captured the Jingshi Kaifeng, and captured the Second Emperor. King Zhao of Kang proclaimed himself emperor at Lin'an (Hangzhou), forming a confrontation between the north and the south. Under the pressure of a strong enemy, the Song army was gradually defeated, but the army led by Yue Fei defeated the Jin soldiers, and spent eight thousand miles directly attacking the town of Zhuxian in Henan.
Unexpectedly, while waiting to restore the rivers and mountains, Yue Fei was recalled by the imperial court with twelve gold medals, and Qin Ju and others were executed for the crime of "false accusations".
Twenty years later, during the Reign of Emperor Xiaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a peddler named Wang Xiaoshun in Hangzhou, who fled to Lin'an with his parents from Kaifeng Province at an early age and opened a pancake shop under the Wangxian Bridge. One day, his fritters made too much, cold fritters were soft and tough, the taste was not good, and no one bought them for a while.
So he wrapped the thin dough cake (spring cake) with cold fritters, put the shallots on it, heated it on a pan, and then, pressed it with a stick, and baked it until the dough skin was golden brown and the pan "creaked" in the pan, took it out, and shouted loudly: "Eat the fried juniper, eat the fried juniper." "While making cakes and attracting customers, passers-by have gathered around. Wang Xiaoshun sold sweet noodle sauce and hot sauce mixed with sweet noodle sauce and hot sauce in pancakes rolled with fritters and green onions to passers-by.
As soon as everyone ate, the fritters were crisp, the spring cakes were fragrant and delicious, salty and spicy, and the taste was excellent, so they paid for it, and the business was prosperous. Before long, it became a famous snack in Lin'an City. Xiao Shun simply named this food "onion wrapped juniper". This "onion bun juniper" that Hangzhou people like to eat is not only because it is delicious, but also "relieving hatred" to eat this Qin juniper.
