The First Dumpling 

       Din Tai Fung Oil Company didn’t have enough money to run the business. What could they do? Before selling the dumplings, Mr. and Mrs. Yang considered selling Hakka food or Shanxi food.

      However, Shanxi and Hakka food are too common. Mr. and Mrs. Yang wanted to sell something more special and delicate. Therefore, they accepted Mr. Tang’s suggestion and started selling Shanghai food.

      Mr. Tang introduced a dim sum chef, Mr. Lu, to Mr. and Mrs. Yang. They decided to be partners and sold Shanghai dim sum. Mr. Lu sold Shanghai dim sum at one side. Mr. Yang sold oil at the other side of the store.

      When the first dumpling(XiaoLongBao) came out, customers loved the food. They brought more people to go to the restaurant and taste delicious dumplings. Gradually, Mr. Yang stopped selling oil and began to sell dumplings and noodles. They opened a whole new page in the history of Din Tai Fung.
