Guantang sauced meat steamed dumplings

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, it was said that there was a man named Yuchang who, out of his love for the traditional food-"steamed dumplings with soup", developed a unique taste after seven years' deliberation and modulation in the making process. Finally, he opened a soup-filled steamed dumpling restaurant in his own town. Although the ostentation and extravagance was not large, his business was very prosperous because of the delicious color of jiaozi and the unique fragrance of smoked sauce, and Fiona Fang was well-known within a few hundred miles. Over time, there is such a jingle among people: it is a pity that the descendants of the dragon don't eat Yuchang at the banquet of the dragon; Steamed dumplings with soup belong to Yuchang, and the Jade Emperor got off the horse when he smelled the fragrance. It is said that later Emperor Qianlong went out traveling incognito, overheard the singing about Yuchang, and was quite curious. He made a special trip to Yuchang's shop to taste it.
