The Origin of the Name of Tanya Dog

There are almost no mothers in Ningbo who can't keep jiaozi. Jiang Dingfa's mother is very obedient, and her snacks are delicious, especially in jiaozi. At the beginning of the 20th century, because of his poor family, Jiang Dingfa, who was still young, went to sea as a helper with adults. In order to feed him well, his parents nicknamed him "A Dog", so all the adults on board called him "A Dog" and "A Dog", and gradually the name "Jiang A Dog" became louder than Jiang Ding. Life at sea is bitter and hungry. A dog often has a sweet dream, in which his mother calls him "a dog, come and eat jiaozi".

Jiang's dog grew to 18 years old, and Ying made up his mind not to let his son go to sea. "Doing coolies is not the way. How can I live without craftsmanship? " Jiang Agou was sent by his mother to Sanbei Shunhe Township School to do business. Shunhexiang is a shop selling southern goods. Being an apprentice is not much better than being a helper on a ship. I live under the fence, submit to humiliation, respect the shopkeeper and greet customers with a smile.

However, Jiang's dog is smart, diligent and active. After three years of apprenticeship, he mastered a business course: doing business must be honest, and only by eating small losses can he get big profits. The shopkeeper wholeheartedly left him to help in the shop, and Jiang Aguo, who is just in his early twenties, has made up his mind to go home and take care of his mother.

I didn't expect my apprentice to get married the first thing when he came back. Britain's belief in men's "get married first and then start a career" has already forged a good marriage for A Gou. He Fengxiu, a native of Fenghua, is hardworking, kind and lovely. After getting married, he helped Ying's family take good care of it. On the contrary, A Gou was a little guilty and chatted privately with his wife. "Our orphans and widows have no money. Why do you want to get married? " He Fengxiu's answer came as a surprise to Ah Gou. "I have eaten the glutinous rice balls sent by my mother. They are big and sweet, and I feel that I can't suffer at your home."

Daughter-in-law, but let Jiang Yigou suddenly enlightened. Neighbors praised my mother for her good jiaozi. Why not set up a stall to sell jiaozi? People all over Ningbo like to have a bowl of lard sesame dumplings. A Gou and his mother said that Ying Shi was very supportive, so the family of three closed the door of the old house, took some silver coins they had saved before, and went to Ningbo City God Temple to set up a jiaozi stall.

At first, there was only glutinous rice balls, but Ah Gou was kind. The guests wanted to add more sugar and osmanthus, and he did everything. But he soon realized that it was not enough to sell jiaozi, and the guests would get bored sooner or later, so he had wine-fermented meatballs and bean paste meatballs, and jiaozi, who had various fillings, had other practices, and guests came to his booth for dessert in an endless stream.
