"Building a Tower in One Night": According to legend 1784, Emperor Qianlong visited the Slender West Lake in Yangzhou for the sixth time and saw the scenery around Wu Ting Bridge from the water. He thought it would be nice if there were a white tower similar to the North Sea here. The speaker was not interested in listening. The wealthy salt merchants in Yangzhou immediately spent 100,000 yuan to buy the pattern of the White Pagoda in Beihai with eunuchs and piled it up overnight.

Origin of steamed dumplings: Teahouses flourished in the past, and many people brought some leftovers when they went to drink tea. When eating, they just take them out and let the shopkeeper wrap them in dough and steam them for lunch. Therefore, when the store owner wraps the bag, he will deliberately reveal some fillings for each family to claim.
