Who invented spicy strips?
In 1998, Qiu Ping, whose spicy business failed in Changsha, "escaped" back to his hometown. His "life was in a mess" and he was at a low point in his career. At the same time, Zhong Qingyuan, who was in the glass business, and Li Mengneng, who was working in Guangdong, both encountered obstacles that they could not get around at the time. Three entrepreneurial veterans who were not knocked down by setbacks came together by chance and "still wanted to do something", hoping to get back on their feet.
Pingjiang County has a long tradition of making soybean products, so Li Mengneng naturally decided to return to his old business. After having the idea of making dried soy sauce, in 1983, people from Sanshi Town, Pingjiang County, improved Pingjiang dried soy sauce. For the first time, sesame and chili peppers were introduced as auxiliary ingredients into the dried soy sauce, and they innovated the spicy dried soy sauce. Li Mengneng, together with Qiu Ping and Qiu Ping, After Zhong Qingyuan put it all together, he began to look for suitable ingredients in the farmer's market. After shopping around, he found that the price of soybeans had no tendency to fall back. In comparison, the cheapest raw material on the market was flour. They gave full play to the use of soybean paste. The production process adds salty and spicy flavors to gluten products.
Around 2000, Qiu Ping, who has extensive research on seasoning, began to add an appropriate amount of sweetness to spicy gluten. “Dealers kept reporting that children like to eat sweet things.” Li Mengneng recalled that after constant debugging, by around 2002, Pingjiang’s gluten products established the basic framework of spicy and sweetened products.
