The legend of duck blood glutinous rice
Legend has it that there is a white dragon next to the tomb of the Dragon Mother at the top of the mountain, in charge of the wind and rain in Changshu. One year, Changshu was suddenly flooded. When the little white dragon inquired, it turned out to be a black dragon making waves. Little white dragon didn't want to see the people suffer, so he immediately flew to the mountain to fight the black dragon. Two dragons were killed in the dark and rolled from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. Later, people called this rolling ditch "Broken Longxi". The black dragon escaped, and the little white dragon was injured and slept in the broken dragon ditch. When people saw that the little white dragon was injured, they all took herbs to treat it. Potions flow into rice fields with blood. Later, blood-red rice actually grew in the rice fields, and the people called it "Dragon Blood Glutinous Rice". The emperor was surprised to hear that there was blood-red rice, so he asked Changshu officials to send it over. The emperor asked the magistrate, "What is this rice called?" The magistrate of a county said, "This rice is called ..." The dragon swallowed the word before he could say it. It turned out that the emperor was called the real dragon emperor and said that "dragon blood" would be beheaded. The magistrate couldn't answer for a moment, but kept saying, "Ah ... Ah ..." The emperor was amused. "What is a duck?" The magistrate of a county casually said, "This is the duck blood glutinous emperor who filled the dragon body." Very good! All right! There are new products for rice. So the red rice in Changshu has a new name "duck blood glutinous rice".
