The history of sweet potato yellow clip in Yueqing
Sweet potato yellow clip is a name directly translated from Yueqing local dialect. There are two versions about the historical origin of this sweet potato yellow clip. One saying is that the sweet potato yellow clip comes from Wengyang Town, and the other is from Xiangyang Town. 1, Xiangyang Town Edition: During the Republic of China, there was a landlord Wang Xing who loved to eat in Huazun Village, Xiangyang Town, Yueqing. Every holiday season, there will always be food and wine. Wang Xing's landlord paid a lot of money. Whoever cooks a new dish and gets his appreciation will be rewarded. Under the so-called four rewards, there must be a brave man. As a result, a variety of dishes are frequently released, including many fine products, but none of them can satisfy Wang Xing's landlords. Just when the landlord was disheartened, a handyman developed this translucent yellow-green jiaozi made of sweet potatoes. In the sun, the skin was golden, the shape was the same as that of jiaozi, the size of a fist, and it smelled of sweet potatoes. The landlord didn't expect much, so he picked it up, stood up straight, his eyes shining and he was amazed again and again. Ok, ok, ok! The servant immediately came forward to please and asked the landlord to give him a name. Wang Xing's landlord asked about the production method, ordered his servant to throw a bag of gratuities in the past, and gave it a name, Sweet Potato Yellow Clip (also called Sweet Potato Yellow jiaozi, Sweet Potato Clip). As a result, a new dish was added to the annual sacrifice. With the changes of the times, the production technology of sweet potato yellow clip has gradually spread. The famous landlord Wang Xing of Yueqing was later lost, and his descendants have not lost this technology. The most famous breakfast chain in Liushi is the Miaoxiang Juice Laowang Steamed Bun Shop opened by his descendants. After so many years, the taste of sweet potato clip has changed greatly on the basis of the original, and each place has its own different flavor. Sweet potato yellow clip has also become a wonderful flower in Yueqing snacks. In the past, only wealthy families would do this. In this version, the ancestors of Miaoxiang Juice also brought their technology from a wealthy family in Wengyang Town to the landlord Wang Xing in Xiangyang.
