Because the leftover materials from beef shops are used as ingredients, they are cheap and delicious, and they are very popular. People call this cold beef offal "husband and wife leftovers". Because the word "waste" is not pleasant to hear, and there are beef lung slices in the ingredients, the homonym "lung" of "waste" is taken and renamed as "husband and wife lung slices" Later, they found that the beef lungs tasted bad, so they cancelled them. 1933, Mr. and Mrs. Guo opened a shop for sale near Chengdu Banbianqiao (now on the right side of the back door of the National Park).
