In addition to Jinan, there are also snacks called "oil spins" in Henan, northern Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia and other places.

Zhang Shihua told the Lightning News reporter that more than twenty years ago, he opened a shop on Weisan Road. A few years later, someone came to the store and said that he would bring a few oil spinners to an old gentleman in Beijing to taste. The old man tasted it, which was exactly the taste he had eaten when he lived in Jinan when he was young, and he liked it very much. Later, Zhang Shihua learned that this old gentleman was Ji Xianlin, vice president of Peking University and master of traditional Chinese studies, and that one of his disciples, Professor Cai Degui of Shandong University, came to buy oil spinning. At that time, Zhang Shihua's shop did not have a store name, tentatively asked Professor Cai to ask about it, Mr. Ji actually agreed, and gave the name of the pen "soft crispy oil swirling Zhang" six words, these six words have been used to this day.

At that time, Mr. Ji was hospitalized in Beijing 301 Hospital in his later years, and due to physical reasons, he could not eat too much oil spinner, so Zhang Shihua specially made a small oil spinner for Mr. Ji. In the years that followed, Mr. Ji's disciples would buy dozens of them from Zhang Shihua every month and take them to Beijing. In June 2009, Ji Xianlin's son Ji Cheng came to Jinan for the first time to buy oil for his father, that year, Zhang Shihua had planned to go to Beijing to celebrate Ji Xianlin's birthday, who knew that in July, he suddenly learned the news of Mr. Ji's death, "I can't help but be in pain," Zhang Shihua told the Lightning News reporter. At the farewell ceremony of the body, Zhang Shihua made 98 oil spins and sent them to Babaoshan to mourn the 98-year-old Mr. Ji. Zhang Shihua and Ji Xianlin have not met, but because of the oil swirl, in a sense, they have become "yearless friends".

Li Fengmei, a citizen of Jinan who bought oil spinners in the store, said: "There are several companies in Jinan that sell oil spinners, which are no better than his family." When I was a child, my father was still alive, and he bought the oil swirls he brought back, and since then, we have eaten their oil swirls every day. "A small oil swirl carries the sorrow of the hometown and the memories of the past."
