Legend
It is said that there were many stalls selling fried mahua in Tianjin at that time, with different levels and quality. In order to compete with others, the founder Fan Guilin came up with original and elaborate designs. In addition to changing the fried twist noodles to half-frozen noodles, he also sandwiched a strip of fried twists with various ingredients such as osmanthus, sugar, peach kernels, green and red silk, rock sugar, etc. Crispy filling with small ingredients.
After being designed in this way, the fried twists are crispy, sweet and delicious. And the crispy taste remains even after being stored in a dry place for many days. On the other hand, Fan Guilin's fried hemp flowers are larger in size and can weigh several kilograms. They are also crispy inside and out, which is difficult for ordinary people to achieve. These cannabis flowers are not only delicious food, but also wonderful works of art. Based on many years of personal practical experience, Fan Guilin pays attention to the accuracy of the input ratio. According to the changes in temperature, the amount of alkaline alkali should be increased appropriately when kneading the noodles, and it is better to fry them thoroughly with warm fire. The fried golden brown and crispy cannabis flowers are admired by customers.

Anti-fraud
The most popular place in Tianjin In some places, special gift bags such as Tianjin Mahua are often sold. Try to avoid these places because they are expensive or not necessarily authentic.
The most famous building in Tianjin is the Porcelain House. After seeing the Porcelain House, people often choose to go shopping in the Italian Style Street. There will be many tour buses around the Porcelain House, which will take you around and explain at the same time.
The tour bus recommends black shops
The tour bus may chat with you and say that the Goubuli steamed buns in Tianjin are all lies. Don’t eat them. If you want to eat, go wherever you want. , and then someone in the middle will recommend that there is a century-old "18th Street Mahua" nearby, which is purely handmade. Just as I was talking, I stopped at a mahua shop,,,,,,,,,,,,
Buying in a blur
As long as you go in, the staff will ask you what you want. What about hemp flowers? The store has bulk hemp flowers, one pound, two pounds, three pounds in size, as well as individually packaged small twists and various desserts and pastries.
It is generally recommended that you get cannabis flowers because they are very heavy on the scale. No matter how bad it is, they will give you twenty or thirty small packages of twist.
Mahua is more than 20 yuan per pound, and it takes less than five minutes to enter the store. A hundred yuan is considered a small amount. Some people even don’t know whether it is genuine or fake after buying it. Afterwards, the tour bus driver may ask you how much you paid for it. Then you have to understand, people are asking how much commission they can get!!!!!
Ask for directions
Some friends meet kind-hearted aunts to give directions. , recommended to such a mahua shop. Of course, we cannot question the kindness of others with unfriendly thoughts, but when we encounter such recommendations.
1: Use the above-mentioned methods to identify fakes, apply what you have learned, and at the same time, you will not disappoint the good intentions of passers-by.
Two: If you feel something is wrong, take a wait-and-see attitude. If I don’t buy it, others won’t force you to buy it.
If you are really led to a black shop, I hope you will not blame these guides, and the commission will be very small. Although we must condemn such immoral behavior, it is all just to make ends meet.
My boyfriend and I found out that we had been cheated. After the uncle left, the two of us stood there and laughed. This kind of thing is also a valuable and unique experience on the road.
Summary:
Finally, we have reached the end. Although it is just a small defense, it takes a lot of time to write the whole article. I just hope that I can share my experience to help more people. Having more friends can help you avoid similar situations and improve your knowledge.
Not to mention that even our foreign friends have become accustomed to "Made in China". The Chinese people are world-famous for their hard work and intelligence. When we use the unique wisdom of the Chinese people to cleverly counterfeit foreign brand products that are difficult to distinguish from genuine, please don't be so complacent.
This is a shame and nothing to be proud of. We have brains, wisdom, and hard-working qualities, so why do we always imitate others?
Just like countless counterfeit domestic brands, foreign ones are so imitated that it is difficult to tell the authenticity, not to mention the counterfeit domestic brands? ! Not to mention a small twist! ! ! !
But as can be seen from the above introduction, the "Three Wonders of Tianjin" steamed buns, twists, and sugar ears have been the most common things among the people from the past to the present. They are so inconspicuous! ! ! ! But these three things have been passed down by word of mouth, are famous all over the country, and even spread to the world. Is it because they taste great? It’s not just because of the delicious food
Looking back on the entrepreneurial history of “Tianjin Sanjue”, the founders of Sanwei all came from poor backgrounds, but they all had ambitions, constantly studied cooking techniques, paid special attention to the standards of input materials, and never He deceived himself and made food that customers could trust. These three exquisite snacks are still the pride of Tianjin people and the pride of Chinese people, and have even become a cultural symbol.
Not only because they are delicious, but also because of their unremitting research on products, their demanding taste, and their pursuit of quality since their establishment! ! ! ! This spirit is the reason that supports the "18th Street Twist" to the present, and only this kind of "professional spirit" of excellence makes the 18th Street Twist stand out - "18th Street" in Nanlou, Hexi District, Tianjin ", went to Tianjin, went to Henan, went to Jiangsu, went to Beijing, and went to the world. . . . . . .
Therefore, every century-old brand that has reached this point must have its own uniqueness and persistence, but there is one absolute thing in common, which is the persistence of quality and the spirit of excellence. . Even a Mahua can be so dedicated and a Mahua can do it, let alone us as a human being! ! ! !
Therefore, traveling is not just about where I went, how many photos I took, and how many delicious foods I ate. It is about opening my heart to feel the breeze that has been blowing in this city for hundreds of years, and having an in-depth understanding of the city that is unique to me. The experience, the memory, and the stories behind the food and scenery.
Only when we deeply understand, understand and feel the little things in this city (such as mahua) can we say that our trip is worthwhile.
At the same time, I also realized from this little thing about Mahua that just as a small Mahua can still be so persistent and tenacious, it is even more so as a human being! ! ! !
