Peng Zu, whose real name is Mingjian Ken, was born in Liu Dan on the 6th. His father is Lu Zhong and his mother is Fu. Peng Zu is the grandson of the ancient emperor Zhuan Xu (the eighth grandson of the Yellow Emperor). When Emperor Yao cooked wild chicken soup for him, Yao gave him the seal, and later generations called him Peng Zu. Shun Shi learned the truth from Yin Shouzi and lived in seclusion in Wuyishan. By the end of Shang Dynasty, he was 767 years old (or over 800 years old). Despite his advanced age, he still shows no signs of aging. Since he was a child, he likes quiet, does not pursue fame, does not attract attention, does not deliberately dress himself up, and takes health care and self-cultivation as his career all day long. The king asked him to be a doctor, but he couldn't get rid of it and had to agree, but he often refused to go to court on the grounds of illness. He is proficient in the art of assistant instruction; Take cinnamon bark, mica powder and elk antler powder regularly. On weekdays, he is silent, never boasting, and never does anything to confuse people and turn ghosts into profits. He often travels around and never rides a horse. Even if he has to travel for a hundred days or dozens of days, he doesn't bring dry food. When he comes back, it makes no difference when he eats and wears in peace. He is also good at guiding the circulation of qi and often holds his breath from morning till night. After that, he rubbed his eyes, massaged his body, licked his lips and spat before he stood up. Sometimes when the body is tired and uncomfortable, lead it to hold its breath and attack the affected area, so that its nine orifices, five internal organs, limbs and even hair are unobstructed and the body is as comfortable as ever. When the king heard about it, he asked him himself, but he kept silent. Give him tens of thousands of gold, and he will take it all and give it to the poor.

At that time, there was a woman named vegetable girl, who was also an enlightened person and knew how to keep in good health. Although she is in her sixties and seventies, she still looks like a woman in her forties and fifties. The king invited her to the palace, and specially built a purple pavilion house decorated with golden jade for talented women to live in. When Shang Zhouwang saw that Peng Zu refused to preach, he sent cainv there, hoping to learn a thing or two from it. Picking women came to consult Peng Zu's method of prolonging life. Peng Zu told her, "If you want to ascend to heaven, you need to eat elixir. This is the method that Taiyi uses in the daytime, but the king can't use this method. Secondly, we should love the spirit, take herbs, and live forever, but we should not serve the gods and fly in vain. And if you don't know how to press the second button, even if you take medicine, you can't live forever. I lost my mother at the age of 3 and wandered in the western regions 100 years. So far, I have lost 49 wives and 54 sons. I've suffered several times, and I'm so angry that I'm afraid I'll die soon. It's too superficial to promote. I heard that there is a Mr. Jing Qing in Dawan Mountain who has lived 1000 years and looks like a boy. He travels 500 miles every day and asks, "What kind of fairy is Mr. Jing Qing?" "Peng Zu said. "He is not a fairy, but a Taoist. The so-called immortals may be able to fly to the clouds without wings; Or ride a dragon in the clouds to reach day order; Or turn into birds and beasts and swim in the clouds; Or sneak in rivers and seas and soar in famous mountains. They eat vitality, eat grass and go in and out of the world, but people don't know that they never associate with laity. Although you can live forever, you are no different from a sparrow to a toad, but you have lost your true colors. I thought that taking glycerin, connecting yin and yang, making the joints hard and keeping their color will last forever, not being injured by wind, cold and rheumatism, not being offended by ghosts and gods, and the insects of the five mountains will not harm their bodies or be dragged down by emotions. " After that, he taught her room art. Women were selected to receive them one by one. When I came back, I taught the king, and the king tried it, which was very effective. Wang Shang wants to turn this technology into his own. Then I ordered it. Those who preach the art of Peng Zu are all killed, trying to harm Peng Zu. Peng Zu escaped and disappeared. Shang Zhouwang lived to be over 300 years old, and his face was as strong as that of a 50-year-old man. Later, Shang Wang got a beautiful daughter Zheng, who was very promiscuous. Shang Wang was too lewd and died of adultery.

Peng Zu, who was good at preparing delicious wild chicken soup for Emperor Yao, was sealed by Emperor Yao in Dapeng (now Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province). Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet in China, wrote in (Chu Ci Tian Wen): "What pleasure does the emperor have when Peng Keng irrigates pheasants?" How long can my husband last? "This artistically reflects Peng Zu's outstanding contribution in promoting the progress of China's food culture. Wang Yi, a scholar of Chu Ci in Han Dynasty, noted: "Peng Keng, Peng Zu also. Good and delicious, good at pouring soup, able to serve the emperor, the emperor is beautiful and delicious. Hong Xingzu of the Song Dynasty added, "Peng Zu's surname is Qian Ming Keng, and Huang Zhuan Xu is his great-grandson. Good at nourishing qi, can adjust the tripod, into the wild chicken soup, sealed in Pengcheng. "Peng Keng is the ancestor of the Peng tribe, and his descendants will multiply in the future, mainly because of his" mountain chicken soup ",so he was regarded as Peng Zu, and his descendants were called Peng Zu. Peng Zu's The Way of Wild Chicken Soup has gradually developed into The Way of Cooking. Wild chicken soup is the earliest recorded name in China's ancient books and is known as "the best soup in the world". China Cooking History 9 says that Peng Zu is "the first famous professional chef in China" and "the longest-lived chef" and is regarded as the ancestor of the kitchen industry.
