Why do Sichuanese call wonton "wonton"

There are two reasons to say super hand:

1, because it is thin and easy to cook, it has been cooked before serving. There is a story that someone strolled to a snack bar on the street of Chengdu and asked the boss why "wonton" became "wonton" here. Without explanation, the boss threw his wonton into the soup pot, then put his hands on his chest and copied it, leaning against the door frame. A minute later, the food was ready, put in a bowl and served to the diners, shouting "copy your hand";

2. Another way of saying it is that it looks like a person holding two hands: the last process of making wonton is to copy the two ends of the dough into the middle and stick them together tightly, which is quite similar to the image of people holding their hands in their arms to avoid the cold, so it is called "grasping hands".

The origin of the name "Chaoshou" has never been compared, but judging from the pronunciation rhythm in Bashu area, the word "Chaoshou" is obviously more in line with the habits of Ba people.

Extended data:

Because the pronunciation of the word "wonton" in Sichuan dialect is a falling tone, and the pronunciation of "wonton" is not only a rising tone but also a long aftertaste, which can be extended indefinitely in the tone of Sichuanese. The beauty is that there are still a few spaces for free rotation, and a little coloratura of Sichuan Opera can be faintly heard at the tip.

Except Sichuan people call wonton wonton, Guangzhou people call wonton, Sichuan people call wonton noodles, Xinjiang is called Ququ, Jiangxi is called clear soup, and southern Anhui is called Baojian.

Now wonton is similar to wonton, but smaller than wonton, with thin and smooth skin, tender and delicious meat and slightly spicy soup, which makes people memorable. Chongqing's famous "Ma Lao Wonton" is sought after and loved by the public because of its special, medium and slight hemp characteristics, and gradually becomes famous in Chongqing and even the whole country.
