Where can I find the history of Nanjing Yonghe Garden?

Yonghe Garden was in its heyday in the mid-1930s. At that time, there were two masters from Yangzhou who mainly sold tea here, and also managed their own snacks such as Weiyang fine points and dried silk for tea drinkers to drink.

1937 When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, Nanjing fell, and the "Snow Garden" was half-open and half-closed, breathing for a while.

rename

1939, a man named Bian Yongsheng bought the "Snow Garden" and opened a shop in the "Qingyun Building" in Gong Yuan West Street. It was officially named "Yonghe Garden", which means "eternal harmony and wealth" and covers an area of about 100 square meter.

In the early days, there were three bungalows, one rented a tea stove to sell tea, and the other rented a small hotel. The owner of the small and medium-sized courtyard operated by himself, selling biscuits and dried silk.

After several years of painstaking efforts, since 1942, the owner has recovered the rent, unified the dim sum business, and hired Yin Changgui, a famous pastry chef, to make dim sum in the store.

At this time, the perm-dried silk and crisp sesame cakes in Yonghe Garden have been quite influential in Confucius Temple and famous in Jinling.

Generally, the dried silk managed by tea houses is boiled dried silk in Yangzhou, while the scalded silk in Yonghe Garden is not only as thin as cotton thread, but also called threading. What is more distinctive is that boiling water has been scalded several times, and there is no beany smell, and the taste is soft and elastic.

"Yonghe source" biscuits are more distinctive. Generally, the biscuits in the store are crispy and oily, while the biscuits in Yongheyuan are "Sanqi oil noodles with four crispy doors", and the varieties will change at any time. * * * There are more than 20 varieties.

Sesame cakes are known as "crab shell yellow" because of their golden color.

After Master Yin Changgui came to the store, he added some kinds of Yangbang snacks, such as Sanding Steamed Bun, Beicui Steamed Dumpling, Crystal Steamed Bun, Melaleuca Oil Cake, Crab Yellow Steamed Bun, Steamed Dumplings, etc., and the business was very prosperous.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, with the expansion of the business of 1946, "Yonghe Garden" was turned into a two-story building with a business area of more than 270 square meters, which can accommodate more than 100 small square tables, and began to take shape.

After liberation, "Yongheyuan" continued to maintain its traditional characteristics, did not improve production equipment, and expanded its business varieties.

However, since 1957, the store has been relocated, the second time to Gong Yuan Street, now the location of Kuiguang Pavilion, and the second time to the current location in 1962.

But in 1969, it merged with Liuhuachun and moved to the new railway station. It was not until 1976 that it returned to its present position, and the old shop name "Yongheyuan Tea House" was restored, and the store entered a new heyday.

Since then, the "Yonghe Garden" dim sum has been well known.

In addition to the traditional variety of dried silk, crisp sesame cakes, steamed buns, steamed buns, dried vegetable buns and other variegated colors.

At the same time, we launched snack banquets of various grades, sent people to Shanghai "Deda Western Restaurant" to study and started to operate West Point.

Yin Changgui and his disciples held several elaborate banquets and exhibitions.

Especially the crisp points: frog crisp, white rabbit crisp, goose crisp, shrimp crisp and pigeon crisp all show their postures; Chinese rose crisp, chrysanthemum crisp, orchid crisp, lotus crisp and begonia crisp are all open and full of feelings.
