Xiaojiaping dough twists shop was originally just a sesame seed cake shop that also made dough twists. At the beginning of the last century, with the development of the market, Xiaojialin dough twists were gradually accepted and recognized by the general public and became a traditional snack that Yangzhou citizens liked to eat. In order to meet the market demand, Xiaojiaping sesame seed cake shop abandoned the market of fried dough sticks and monopolized the sales of twist directly. It is reported that around 2004, Xiaojiaping Twist Shop successfully registered the trademark of Xiaojiaping Twist. Further, it marks the birth of the first brand of Yangzhou Twist. However, just as the business of Xiaojiaping Twist Shop was gradually on the right track, Surin Restaurant in Xiaojue Town tried to make "Yangzhou Twist" on May 20, 2007, and could not resist the temptation of "big market".
Xiaojulin Mahua was officially opened to the public on May 20th, 2007. Xiaojiaping Mahua is a shop specializing in frying small Mahua beside Surin Hotel in Xiaojue Town. It is said that the owner of this shop and the owner of Xiaojue Town Surin are brothers. Residents who live around all the year round say that the two kinds of twist have their own characteristics. Xiaojulin twist is not as crisp as Xiao Jiaping's, but it is not oily. Xiaojiaping's twists may be to make them more brittle because there is more oil. Buyers can choose freely.
