The origin of calling a dog unreasonable:
Gao Guiyou, the founder of Goubuli baozi, was born in xiazhuzhuang, Wuqing County, Zhili (now Wuqing District, Tianjin). Because his father got his son at forty, he adopted his nickname "dog son" for the sake of peace, expecting him to be as good as a dog.
When Gao Guiyou was 14, he went to Liu's steamed food shop on the side of the South Canal in Tianjin. Because of his dexterity and inquisitiveness, as well as the guidance of his masters, Gao Guiyou's craftsmanship in making steamed buns has been constantly improved and he has developed a good job. Three years later, Gao Guiyou opened a snack shop specializing in steamed buns - "Deju". Because Gao Guiyou has a good craftsmanship, works very seriously and never adulterates. The steamed buns made by him are soft in taste, delicious and not greasy. They look like chrysanthemums, with unique color, fragrance and shape. The business is very prosperous. More and more people come to eat his steamed buns. Gao Guiyou is too busy to talk to customers. As a result, people who eat steamed buns call him 'dog sells steamed buns, ignoring people'. As time goes by, people call him "Goubuli" and call the steamed stuffed bun he runs "Goubuli". However, the original shop name is gradually forgotten by people.
