As a famous town in Zhongzhou, Xiaoyao town has been prosperous since ancient times and has a long history. In ancient times, it was known as "water and drought wharf, transportation hub", and now it is known as "commodity distribution center, food and entertainment city".

The origin of Xiaoyao

Ferry boat shadow, connected with prosperity, into the depths of history. The origin of Xiaoyao town and the two rivers is deep and long. The traces of the past are still looming beside the Shahe levee. Beside the Shahe River, there is a ferry, an old iron boat, and a bamboo pole for rowing. In form, it still retains its original imprint. On the other side of Xiaoyao Town, Yinghe river has no modern scenery of Shahe River. Its scenery is silent behind history. Although it is unpredictable, it has a deep relationship with the original name of Xiaoyao town.

Before the Qing Dynasty, Xiaoyao town was not called Xiaoyao Town, it was called Heliu town. The reason why it is called this strange name has a lot to do with Yinghe River, because here, Yinghe River and Shahe River merge, so it has this name.

The name can be traced back to the Han Dynasty, when it was called heliukou. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, it was changed to Heliu Town, also known as Xiaotao and Xiaoyao. In the Song Dynasty, the town of Heliu was already quite prosperous, so the government set up Qingshui County here to govern the whole territory of today's Xihua county and some towns of today's Shangcai, Yancheng and Shangshui counties. In Ming and Qing Dynasties, Xiaoyao town developed rapidly. For a time, it became the economic center of the surrounding areas. The prosperity of Commerce will inevitably lead to the expansion of urban construction. The town has also started to build civil engineering, a large number of temples have sprung up, and five village gates and two water gates have been built to protect the safety of residents and merchants. Many old people still vaguely remember the appearance of the village gate. However, like all ancient buildings, they have disappeared with time.

Xiao Yao Zhen hu la Tang

The position of Hula soup in Henan is unshakable. Hula soup is not only delicious, but also has the medical value of disease prevention and fitness. It is also economical and can be consumed regardless of the high or low, so it is widely welcomed by many consumers.

There are two main schools of Hula soup in Henan

Beiwudu Hula soup in Wuyang County of Luohe City and Hula soup in Xiaoyao town of Zhoukou City are only 100 kilometers apart.

Origin of hu la Tang

Xiaoyao town Hula soup originated in Ming Dynasty. It is said that in order to please the emperor, Yan Song, an old man in the cabinet, got a pair of flavoring medicine from an expert to give to the emperor to make soup. When Zhao Yuchu and Emperor Jiajing tasted the soup, Longyan was very happy. When he asked why the soup was made, he said "longevity soup". The soup was delicious and Longyan was very happy. It was named "Yutang", so he left the imperial chef in the palace. After the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Yuchu fled south because of the war and settled in Xihua Xiaoyao Town, where "longevity soup" also settled. Zhao Ji, the imperial chef, received the favor of Xiaoyao Hu, so he taught this recipe to Hu. After several years of folk processing and development, a kind of Hula soup was born in Xiaoyao Town, which is suitable for the taste of northerners, spicy, mellow and fragrant. As a result, the soup was fragrant and spicy, and was managed by Hu family. Later, it was gradually called "Hu hot soup" by local people.

Mode of operation

1. The operation of shop stalls is similar to the traditional operation mode, except that in the traditional soup making process, the operators buy large materials from the manufacturers and then process the soup. That is to say, the operators themselves will not prepare the ingredients of Hula soup, but need to purchase pure ingredients of Hula soup. The latter is the manufacturer who benefits from the pure material of Hula soup.

2. The second mode is the above-mentioned enterprise industrial production of spicy soup. This mode was started by Henan Jingyao Food Co., Ltd. In 1992, Ms. Hu Suhua, the 19th generation successor of Hula soup in Xiaoyao Town, who used to run a hula soup chain store in Zhengzhou, was inspired by the limitations of traditional Hula soup operation and inconvenient promotion, which made it difficult for ordinary people to drink whenever and wherever they wanted, so she changed her business model. Back home in Xiaoyao Town, we set up a factory, specializing in industrialized production of spicy soup seasoning. It is convenient for thousands of households and other operators to use hu la soup to make hu la soup, so that the people can really "drink the authentic Xiao Yao hu la soup without leaving home." In order to commemorate the history of Hu's spicy soup in Xiaoyao Town, which was spread from the imperial kitchen in the capital palace to Hu's family in Xiaoyao Town, Hu's spicy soup in Xiaoyao town was named "Jingyao" Hu's spicy soup, which means from the capital palace to Xiaoyao Town, and his company was named "he Nanjing Yao Food Co., Ltd". As a result, a new industry has opened up, bringing the traditional Hula soup into a new era of industrial production.
