After the death of Tongzhi, the imperial court issued a decree that no one in the country should eat meat. At this time, Lei Duanzao and his wife Lei Santai, whose ancestral home is Guiyang and the owner of a tofu shop, saw this good opportunity. They added appropriate amounts of salt, alkali, chopped green onion, and other seasonings to the tofu. After mixing thoroughly, they shaped the tofu into balls the size of walnuts and fried them before selling them. Surprisingly, this little fried tofu dumpling became very popular as soon as it came out.
