What is the origin of Du Yi?

The steamed dumpling restaurant opened in the third year of Qingganlong (1738) was founded by Shanxi Renwang. At first, it was a shed hotel, east of Qianmenwai Street and south of Xianyukou. After making money, a small facade building was built in the seventh year of Qianlong (1742). Business varieties include boiled peanuts, rose dates, Ma Lian meat, dried meat and other side dishes.

In the seventeenth year of Qianlong, he became famous because the emperor gave him a name and a "tiger head" plaque. During the Tongzhi period, steamed dumplings were added, which were not only thin but also delicious. ?

During his stay in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Du Yixing escaped bankruptcy, but his business remained sluggish until the liberation of Beijing. Du Yi Steamed Dumpling House, located at No.36, East Street Road, Qianmen, a prosperous city in Beijing, has a history of more than 260 years, specializing in all kinds of steamed dumplings, fried triangle, Ma Lian meat and Shandong cuisine.

Differences between ancient and modern dietary methods;

Near noon, the store was crowded with people, and almost every table had a drawer for sale, only to see its lace folds layered like delicate silk flower. According to the master nearby, the process of cooking and selling vegetables in a place is different. From scalding, mixing and hammering to steaming and serving, it takes six to seven masters' hands, *** 14 processes.

Except kneading and pressing, all other steps are purely manual. However, the number of folds on the barbecue can reach up to 30, and only five or six masters can do it in a museum. Looking at these small and exquisite looks, I can't help but sigh in my heart that modern people are really doing things more and more carefully.

Because it is said that until the 1970s, the unique steamed dumplings was just "big and round" and put in a big drawer with a diameter of about 1 m. No matter what drawer it is, it is not as exquisite as today's small jasper, and it is full of the boldness of burly men in the north. However, people who really know how to cook and sell will definitely order Fried Triangle, the first dish in history.

Fried triangle looks ordinary at first glance, like fried dumplings, but old diners know that even if they look all over Beijing, there is only one. In the early years, the people who came to DuDu to eat fried triangle were basically wealthy businessmen and shopkeepers in Qianmen area, and there were also many outsiders.

In the evening, as soon as the theaters in Tianqiao area were over, they were all full, and the lively scene was even worse than today. After liberation, the bombing triangle was lost for some time, and it was not restored until a few years ago. At this moment, diners who can eat enough really sigh that they have had a good meal.

These complex and mysterious traditional old crafts are irreplaceable by modern science and technology. As Master Du Yi said, these century-old crafts are family heirlooms and unique secrets, so the kitchen in Du Yi naturally becomes a forbidden area, and it will take a lot of trouble just to peek.
