A Tang Spreads the History of Happy Relaxation
In the late years of the Republic of China, because of frequent wars, social unrest, bandits'looting and warlord's gangding, the market was depressed, but the disaster was not the only one. The head of Zhao's Hu hot soup was addicted to smoking. When he started smoking heavily, his family was still in good condition. After he became addicted to heavy smoking, he soon spent all his poor family. The family is difficult to live, helpless, he was banished out of the house, let its own life and death.
The head of Zhao's family lived on credit when he was in the street. The neighborhood pitied him and occasionally gave him something. But as his addiction to tobacco increased, he soon owed a large amount of debt, the most of which was an old man Wang who sold fish soup and miscellaneous soup at a stall. For a time, he was determined to get rid of drug addiction and resume his old business in order to pay off his debts, but he was too poor to buy medicines for soup. There was a pharmacy boy named Wei Xiniu, who was an apprentice from Longyi and pharmacy in Shanxi Province. He was very sympathetic to his experience. He quietly stole some medicine from pharmacy to make Hu hot soup according to the Hu hot soup formula he gave him. This can be said to be the first time that people outside Zhao's surname have received Hu Ho Tang's prescription.
After a short period of persistence, the smoking addiction of Zhao's leaders broke out again, this time more than before. He felt that he could not get rid of this "magic barrier" any longer, so he abandoned himself and sat to death. Considering that there was still a lot of debt to pay, he decided to use the cooking technology and formula of Hu hot soup to pay the bill. After he taught Wang Guoyu, Wang Laohan's son, the boiling technology of Hu hot soup, his body had completely collapsed. When he was dying, he said to Wang Laohan that the ingredients of Hu spicy soup were in Weixi Niu's place, and then he let go of the dust. Later, Wang Guoyu got the prescription of Hu Hot Tang from Weixi Niu, and became the most famous master of Hu Hot Tang in Xiaoyao Town during the Republic of China.
After liberation, the state transformed the handicraft industry and industry and commerce, and Xiaoyao Town assembled these skilled cooks to form cooperatives, which allowed each cook to contribute his or her skills and paid his or her wages according to the level of his or her cooking skills. Among them is Wang Guoyu, a master of making Hu spicy soup. Chefs exchanged information in the process of performance, and soon mastered the production method of Hu Hot Soup, the highest level of which is Cheng Jinyu. According to Mr. Hou Kequan, Hu Hot Soup was later made more famous, such as Zhang, Gao, Yang, and so on. It was learned in the cooperatives at that time. The reason why Mr. Hou Kequan knows so many stories about Hu spicy soup is that Mr. Hou's father made good friends with Wang Guoyu, Wei Xiniu and Cheng Jinyu. When he was young, he listened to a few adults chatting down.
Spring breeze and pleasure
The real development of Hu Hot Tang is after the reform and opening up. According to Liu Jianwei, secretary-general of the Xiaoyao Hu Hot Soup Association, Hu Hot Soup in Xiaoyao Town has been vigorous since the 1980s. At the beginning, the people of Xiaoyao Town had not yet come out of the shadow of "cutting the tail of capitalism", only the local Hui people secretly made it for sale, but also worried. Gradually, other people also saw the benefits, and some people began to go out and hang the brand of Hu Hot Tang in Xiaoyao Town to other areas. First, Luohe (the nearest prefecture-level city from Xiaoyao Town), then Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Kaifeng, and so on. Later, it went north to Heihe, south to Haikou, West to Tianshan, east to Dada. Hai, Xiaoyao Town Hu hot soup has been spread all over the country.
The Xiaoyao Town Government established the "Xiaoyao Hu Hot Soup Association" on February 15, 2003. It is hoped that through this association, Hu Hot Soup of Xiaoyao Town can be made into a real Henan brand by standardized chain operation mode, change the image of Hu Hot Soup in people's minds, and let more people know, accept and like it.
It is reported that "Xiaoyao Hu Hot Soup Association" is registering the trademark "Xiaoyao Town Hu Hot Soup". Because some people have rushed to register the trademark, the Xiaoyao Town Government is negotiating with the other party to solve the problem. Of course, I hope they can get the trademark "Xiaoyao Town Hu Hot Soup", because from the historical and realistic point of view, this trademark should belong to them, no one should take it away.
Food Legend of Hu Hot Soup
The origin of Hu spicy soup: Legend has it that during the reign of Emperor Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor was busy in monastery and wanted to live forever. In order to please the Emperor, Yan Songyan Ge, a scholar of Cabinet University, patted people everywhere to search for secret recipes. Unexpectedly, he sought a party in the hands of a layman. According to Taoists, this way could prolong his life and Yan Song offered the imperial meal. After the Jiajing Emperor took the soup, it was refreshing and refreshing. He felt the soup was exquisite. So Longyan Dayue named it "Yutang". In this soup, the imperial dining room specially added ginseng and other precious tonics, also known as "Jintang". It was really "Palace Yuye soup", which was only available to the imperial family. Good luck! At the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the Qing soldiers entered the Customs, Zhao Qi, the Royal chef, fled to Xiaoyao Town, a famous town in Central Plains with the secret recipe. He could not bear the loss of the soup and spread it to the local residents. Since then, the local people have been handed down from generation to generation as treasures, and after many changes and improvements, it has become a treasure on the local people's dining table, so the soup is spicy and appetizing, and it is gradually called "Hu hot soup" by the local people.
Hu hot soup anecdote: Legend has it that paste hot soup cured the famous Qing official Yu Qian's cold in Ming Dynasty. "Shattered bones, no fear - Yu Qian Memorial Hall" Memorial anthology records: Yu Qian was governor of Henan and Shanxi provinces, stationed in Kaifeng Festival. One year when he was celebrating his birthday, he happened to be visiting Zhengzhou. He found a "Huji" restaurant and spent his birthday drinking a bowl of hot and spicy soup. This unique birthday food made Yu Qian remember its delicious taste deeply.
On one occasion, Yu Qian returned from a tour of Shanxi Province and passed Zhengzhou County (now Zhengzhou). Because of the heavy road and busy business, he caught a cold for several days and was not very well. One night, Yu Qian suddenly remembered the soup of "Huji" and sent someone to buy it. Hu Ji's cabinet is respectful to the governor to eat, put enough seasoning, elaborate production. After eating, Yu Qian sweated heavily. The next day, he was light and healthy, and the cold recovered unconsciously. Yu Qian sealed the silver twelve and thanked Hu for his hospitalization. He suggested that the soup should be named after Hu. From then on, the soup became "Hu hot soup".
After the Qing Dynasty, Zhengzhou sold more Hu hot soup. However, since the Qing Dynasty was founded by Manchu people, people dare not say more "Hu" words, soup looks pasty, "Hu" and "paste" homonyms, so Hu hot soup later changed to paste hot soup, and has been used today.
Now, paste hot soup has been accustomed to be called Hu hot soup, also known as "court Royal brocade soup".
