, I also went to taste Goubuli. As for the quality, it is a century-old store after all, so you have to have a certain limit, it won’t be too bad! Buying a few steamed buns from the old store on Shandong Road won’t cost you a fortune, but the Goubuli Hotel is luxuriously decorated and expensive, so it’s not recommended for ordinary tourists.
I will give you a brief introduction to the origin of Goubuli. Part of the content comes from Internet searches. Goubuli, the name is not elegant, but it has its origin. The founder of “Goubuli Baozi” is named Gao Guiyou, who is from Zhili

)people. His father had a son when he was forty. In order to seek peace, he gave him the nickname “Gouzi”. This has the same meaning as the names Gou Sheng and Tiedan in the countryside in the past. It’s easy to make a living with a coward name!
When Gao Guiyou was 14 years old, he arrived

I work as a waiter at Liu’s Steam Food Shop on the edge of the Nanyun River. After completing his studies in three years, Gao Guiyou opened a snack shop specializing in steamed buns - “De Ju Hao” (Gubuli’s original name was quite impressive😄). This was during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, and later Cixi Lafayette loved to eat Goubuli steamed buns, which made Goubuli famous. Because Gao Guiyou is good at craftsmanship and is very conscientious in his work and never adulterates, the buns he makes are of good color, aroma, taste and shape, and his business is very prosperous. More and more people came to eat his steamed buns, and Gao Guiyou was too busy to talk to the customers. As a result, the steamed bun eaters jokingly called him “a dog who sells steamed buns and ignores people.” Over time, people took it easy and called him “Goubuli”, and the steamed buns he sold were called “Goubuli steamed buns”. However, the original store name was gradually forgotten by people.
“De Ju Hao”, also known as Goubuli, went out of business in 1952. The operator at that time was Gao Huanwen, the grandson of Gao Guiyou. 1956,

The city nationalized Goubuli Baozi and moved the store to Shandong Road, Heping District.
Goubuli is very particular from the selection of materials to the production. “Thin-skinned and large stuffing with eighteen pleats, shaped like a chrysanthemum” refers to Goubuli steamed buns. But don’t expect too much from it. Even if it tastes exactly the same as before, people nowadays The taste has improved and the daily diet structure is different, so I won’t think it is so delicious. In those days, even a white-flour steamed bun would taste delicious, let alone a meat bun.
