The most vicious popular snack - "(Chinese) dough"(You-zha-gui)
Chinese popular snacks are quite diversified inkind; and the story behind each of them is alsofascinating. One of an easy-made wheat food iscalled "You-zha-gui" (Chinese dough), peoplefrom north China named it as "You-tiao"(Twistedcruller). But this fried wheat food is, in fact, prettyvicious in nature.
From "You-zha-kuai" to "You-zha-gui"
During the fall of the Southern Dynasty, the court traitorQin-kuai made use of "groundless" accusation to sentencethe patriotic and loyal courtier Yue-fei to death, resultingin popular indignation. Consequently, in order to let offones agitation, a hawker then used flours to knead theshape of Qin-kuai as well as his wife, frying "them" in thepan, shouting loudly and publicly "You-zha-kuai" (friedKuai) all over the street, where Qin-kuai wascoincidentally passing by. Fortunately, someone nearbycame up a good idea in time of crisis, saying "You-zha-gui" instead, so that Qin-kuai's anger could then bepacified!
