Where is the most authentic cannabis flower in Tianjin?

"Gui Faxiang" twist is the most authentic, and Gui Faxiang's 18th Street twist has established a century-old brand and become the favorite food of Tianjin people.

Tianjin hemp flowers are produced with exquisite craftsmanship and high quality ingredients. Each twist is filled with assorted pastry strips made of peach kernels, green plums, sweet-scented osmanthus and more than a dozen other small ingredients, and then twisted into five flowers with hemp strips and white strips. Fry thoroughly in peanut oil over low heat. After taking it out of the pan, add rock sugar and green and red silk. It is characterized by sweetness and crispness, and will not become soft, deteriorate or lose flavor after being stored for several months.

Origin: In the late Qing Dynasty, on the west side of the Haihe River in Weihai, Tianjin, at the south end of the bustling Xiaobailou, there was an alley called 18th Street. A man named Liu Laoba opened a shop in this alley. He opened a small twist shop called "Gui Fa Xiang". This man is very smart and capable, and he has a unique skill in frying fried mahua. The fried twists he makes are made from real ingredients, using refined white flour and high-quality clear oil. The fragrance of the twists made every day can spread throughout the alleys. People smell the fragrance and flock to his shop to buy, so his shop is always crowded with customers. Later, his business grew bigger and bigger and he opened a store. There were quite a lot of guests at first, but as time went by, everyone felt more and more tired of the mahua, and gradually the business was not as good as before. The old man was unwilling to give in. Later, there was a young shopkeeper in the store. He went out for a trip and came home tired and hungry, so he asked for snacks. Fortunately, the snacks were gone, leaving only some snack residue. There was nothing else to eat, so the young shopkeeper had an idea and asked someone to mix the dim sum residue and twist noodles together to make twists and fry them in a pan. As a result, the fried twists were different from the previous ones. In addition to being crispy and fragrant, the taste was also very delicious. According to this method, Liu Laoba studied carefully and sandwiched assorted pastry fillings between the white strips and hemp strips of the twist. As for the ingredients, I thought hard and spent a lot of time on them, including osmanthus, Fujian ginger, walnut kernels, peanuts, sesame seeds... as well as green and red silk and rock sugar. In order to make our own twists unique and enhance the taste, we extend the storage time and use more and more refined materials, such as high-quality salted osmanthus processed from Hangzhou West Lake osmanthus, rock sugar made from sugar cane grown in Lingfu, refined wheat flour, etc. Wait, it will not only last for a long time, but also be fragrant, crispy and delicious, and fill your mouth with saliva.

In this way, after repeated and careful research, Liu Laoba finally created assorted stuffed hemp flowers that are golden, shiny, sweet and last for a long time. From then on, "Gui Fa Xiang" hemp flowers became famous in the market. , is very popular and has become the first of Tianjin Wei's famous "three unique" foods. Gui Faxiang’s 18th Street Mahua became a century-old brand and became the favorite food of Tianjin people.
