This morning, the little friend told Xiaobian that she was going to get married next month, and asked Xiaobian to go to Shenyang next month to be her bridesmaid. As a foodie, Xiaobian is of course searching for something delicious in Shenyang while he is happy. In line with the principle of "delicious is not as good as dumplings", Xiaobian locked a long-established brand in Shenyang at a glance--- old side dumplings.
Laobian dumplings are a traditional snack in Shenyang and have a history of nearly 200 years. Mr. Hou Baolin, a famous cross-talk master, once left an ink treasure: "Bianjia dumplings, the first in the world." "Listen, the world's number one dumpling, how delicious it must be!" Today, let's talk about this century-old delicious side dumpling.
There is a story of coincidence behind every time-honored delicacy, and Laobianjia dumplings are no exception. First of all, let's talk about why this old side dumpling is called old side dumpling. Some people may say, isn't it an insult to our intelligence to say this? Why is this called Lao Bian Dumpling, naturally the founder of this dumpling is surnamed Bian Bao! This is true, the founder of the old side dumpling is called the edge of the banner.
Bian Laohan was originally from Hebei and opened a dumpling restaurant in Renqiu County, Hebei Province, although he was not rich, but the family was also living happily together. During the Daoguang years, there was a famine in the area of Renqiu County, and the people were already living hard, but the government did not care whether the people lived or died, and increased the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes. The common people really don't need to put up with it anymore, don't think about it too much, it's not about uprising, it's just that one by one they all left their homes with their families and fled the wilderness. The old man also closed his dumpling restaurant and joined the escape squad with his family.
Where to escape? Let's go north, of course, not to Beijing "North Drift". Instead, I came to the northeast of the White Mountains and Black Water. It was a night in 1829, and the Bian Lao Han family was staying in a family, and it happened that the family was wishing the old lady a birthday, so the family gave the Bian Lao Han family a bowl of shou dumplings to fill the hunger. The old man on the side felt that this dumpling was fragrant and delicious, and its filling was fat and tender and soft but not greasy, so he humbly asked the family for advice. The owner saw that the old man was honest and kind, and told him the secret, it turned out that the family made the old lady comfortable to eat, and when making the dumplings, they used the pot to cook the dumplings and then wrapped them, so that the dumplings made were fragrant and soft, and not so greasy.
Sauté the pot with the good dumplings and then wrap them, do you think you have learned the secret of this old side dumplings, in fact, it is still far away. The old man of the side took in mind the method of sautéing that the well-wishers told him, and later settled down on the bank of the moat of the Xiaojin Bridge outside the Xiaodong Gate of Shenyang City, built a small room with a horse frame, and opened the "Old Side Dumpling Restaurant". Due to technical improvements, the reputation of old side dumplings has gradually become loud. Every day after the store closes, when the guy leaves the store and his wife goes to sleep, the children and grandchildren of the old side family begin to sauté the filling to prepare the next day's filling.
Some people may ask, why do you have to wait until the guy leaves the store and his wife goes to sleep before starting to stir in the stuffing? In fact, in the old society, in order to keep the business and occupy a place, the old dumplings used the stuffing as an heirloom. In history, the head of the old side dumplings in order to keep secrets is to pass on the unique live son not to the wife, the man does not pass on the woman, so it is every day after the store closes the store to wait for the guys to go out before personally filling. Of course, in the current view, this transmission of men and women is too patriarchal, but in the old society this phenomenon is not uncommon. Whether it is passed on to men or women, the production method is indeed confidential.
The method of production is confidential, which is a common trait of many old brands in the past, and it is also a recipe for the old brands to remain superior for many years. Of course, after liberation, the descendants of Laobian Dumplings sacrificed the unique trick of simmering stuffing, and The Laobian Dumpling Restaurant also began its new glory. Although the trick has been made public, the craftsmanship has not changed, and it is still careful. At present, the old side dumpling shop has developed a lot and has opened branches in many places.
Lao Bian Dumplings also launched a unique flavor of the "Lao Bian Dumpling Feast", steaming, burning, boiling, frying dumplings of various shapes, laid out on a table, plate dumpling filling is different, there are white fungus filling, hair vegetable filling, shiitake mushroom filling, shrimp filling, fish filling, panic melon filling, red fruit filling, hawthorn filling... Think about it all drooling, Xiaobian can't wait!
