Youtiao is a favorite breakfast food for many people. Speaking of its origin, it has something to do with Qin Hui.
"Song History" records: In the 11th year of Emperor Gaozong in the Southern Song Dynasty in Shaoxing, Qin Hui and a group of traitors killed Yue Fei and his son on charges of "unnecessary". The soldiers and civilians of the Southern Song Dynasty were filled with indignation. At that time, there were two food stalls selling breakfast in the vicinity of Fengbo Pavilion in Lin'an. They grabbed the dough and kneaded two noodles in the shape of Qin Hui and Wang respectively, twisted them together and fried them in a frying pan, and called them. "Fried juniper". Suddenly, the people who bought and eat breakfast yelled knowingly: "Eat fried juniper! Eat fried juniper!"
In order to vent their resentment, people rushed to follow suit. Since then, fried dough sticks have appeared on cooked food stalls everywhere. Up to now, in some places, the fried dough sticks are still called "fried juniper". "
