Qin Gui, a great minister and a thief in the Song Dynasty, and his wife Wang killed Yue Fei, a hero who was loyal to his country, and even worse, he tortured the celebrities who had wronged Yue Fei alive and died on trumped-up charges, arousing the anger of the masses. A warrior named Shi Quan was beheaded for stabbing Qin Gui. His brother, Shi Zhong, and his wife learned that Qin Gui was going to destroy Jiuzu. They took a boat from Lin 'an (now Hangzhou) and fled to Tianjin via the canal. They took a berth at Sanchahekou and changed their name to Zhu Qinhui (that is, the homonym for killing Qin Gui). In order to make a living, the husband and wife changed from selling peanuts to selling fried goods, cut the reconciled noodles into small pieces, and then piled the two small pieces together, stretched them into long strips and fried them thoroughly in the oil pan, and took the name "Fried Chicken", which means to blow up the Qin Gui Wang, a dog man and a woman, so that people could chew them up and swallow them. To relieve the hatred in my heart. As soon as the "Fried Beer" went on the market, people bought it one after another. Although the husband and wife were tired, they were very happy to sell the "Fried Beer" to relieve their hatred and make money. Many years after Qin Gui's death, although "Fried Gui" was crispy and delicious, Qin Gui was notorious. Under people's resentment, they simply called this snack "Fried Gui", or "Oil Gui" or "Oil Gui" to put it mildly, and later it was called "Fried dough sticks".

Scorpion is the general term for these varieties. Cudgel fruit is a traditional breakfast food in Jinmen, so it is named because the finished product is cudgel-shaped.
