The origin of snail powder

The origin of snail powder is as follows:

Between 1 and 198, there is a grocery store on Jiefang South Road. Its clerk often takes a handful of dry cut powder to the snail stall next door to cook in the morning. Later, someone bought vegetables for blending. Ji Wang's grandmother, who sells snail powder, thinks the powder is delicious and sells snail powder.

2. In 1970s and 1980s, Gubu Street food market became the largest distribution center of endophytic snails in Liuzhou, and the audience in the nearby workers' cinema liked to wander around after the performance, forming Gubu Street night market. People in Liuzhou always like to eat snails and rice noodles. Some night market owners deal in boiled snails and rice noodles at the same time. Some diners like to add snail soup with a lot of oil and water to rice noodles, thus forming the embryonic form of snail powder.

3. Snail powder originated in Tang Dynasty. Liu Zongyuan, a writer in the Tang Dynasty, was demoted to Liuzhou, Guangxi as a secretariat. Because I am in a bad mood, I am not acclimatized, I don't think about diet, I lack health, and I am at a loss about royal clothing. Zhou Wanfu, who was a chef in the yamen at that time, was very anxious and didn't know what to do. One day he went to the Liujiang River to wash vegetables and picked up some snails. After I came back, I carefully prepared a bowl of snail soup for Liu Zongyuan. Liu Zongyuan liked it very much and it has been widely circulated since then.
