When did 18th Street Mahua begin and why is it so famous in Tianjin?

The emergence of 18th Street Marijuana Flower is several decades later than the above "two uniques". It was founded in the 1930s. Big Tianjin Fried Dough Twists with the trademarks of "Guifaxiang" and "Eighteen Street" is commonly known as "Eighteen Street cannabis flower" because its birthplace is in the area of ??18th Street, Donglou, Hexi District, Tianjin. The founder of 18th Street Marijuana Flower is Fan Guilin, a native of Dacheng County, Hebei Province. He was born in a poor peasant family in 1915. His father died early, and he, his mother and two brothers struggled to survive. In 1924, Fan Guilin, who was only 9 years old, and his second brother Fan Guicai, who was 11 years old, fled famine with their mother and came to Tianjin to beg for food. They lived in Nanlou Village to make a living. In 1928, 13-year-old Fan Guilin was introduced to work as a waiter in a twist shop on 18th Street in Donglou. He helps his workers fry the mahua every day, and then carries a food basket and sells it along the street. A few years later, Fan Guilin worked as a waiter at Liu's Mahua Shop in Nanlou Village, still doing the work of frying and selling Mahua. Fan Guilin took advantage of the opportunity of being an apprentice and helper in two mahua shops to carefully figure out and study carefully, and skillfully mastered the ingredients and ingredients of fried mahua, as well as the frying temperature and technology. Since 1936, Fan Guilin quit his job as a helper and set up a stall by himself near Donglou 18th Street, frying and selling twists. His skill in frying twists was very good. The fried twists were beautiful and delicious, and were very popular among customers. Therefore, the stall had a good business, and he quickly saved a lot of money. Fan Guilin understood that setting up a stall was not a long-term solution, so he spent money to buy a small store near the stall and officially opened a twist shop called "Guifaxiang". Fried twists are a popular snack among Tianjin people. At that time, there were many shops and stalls selling fried twists in the city, with varying levels of quality and fierce competition. In order to win in the competition, Fan Guilin repeatedly trial-produced and designed a unique production process. He changed the dough used for deep-fried twists to semi-risen noodles, and sandwiched a strip of crispy filling containing peach kernels, osmanthus, green and red silk, rock sugar and other ingredients in the middle of the white strips of twists. The dough made in this way makes the fried twists crispy, sweet and unique, and as long as it is stored in a dry place, it will remain crispy and taste unchanged even after many days. In addition, Fan Guilin's hemp flowers are larger in size and can fry hemp flowers weighing several kilograms. They are also crispy inside and out, which is difficult for other shops to achieve. These cannabis flowers are not only beautiful in color and fragrance, but also beautiful in shape. They are like wonderful works of art that are unbearable to eat. As a result, Fan Guilin's fried hemp flowers became famous, "Gui Faxiang" became famous far and wide, and "Eighteenth Street Cannabis" also became a famous specialty of Tianjin. After the 18th Street cannabis flower became famous, Fan Guilin still adhered to the original input standards and operating techniques, and never cut corners based on reputation. His ingredients have strict standards. For example, to fry a half-pound twist, it takes 4 taels of oil, 2 taels and 5 taels of white sugar, and half a tael of rock sugar. When kneading noodles, the amount of alkaline food should be increased or decreased appropriately according to changes in temperature. When frying, the fire should not be too strong and must be fried thoroughly over a warm fire. Therefore, the golden and crispy cannabis flowers he fried are very popular among customers. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, this specialty snack with Tianjin flavor gradually spread throughout the country. In 1959, Gui Faxiang's 18th Street cannabis flower participated in the National Commodity Exhibition and received favorable reviews; in 1971, it was exhibited at the Guangzhou Export Commodity Fair and won praise from domestic and foreign customers. Since then, the cannabis flower on 18th Street has become famous at home and abroad.
