The egg is called Mushu, but the chicken is not called Wood!
After reading the origin of Mushu, you will know why!
Mushu is the mistake of Osmanthus!
Walking around the north and south of the motherland, inside and outside the Great Wall, you can see the dish "Mu Xu Pork" everywhere. This dish has also tortured me deeply for many years. Because I not only love to taste local famous dishes and special delicacies, but I am also afraid of snakes, ants, insects, frogs, and even more afraid of live monkeys, human brains, placenta, eagles, and birds. I secretly thought to myself that I didn’t know what this dish was. If it was a tree, vine, fungus, or something like that, it would be fine. If it was something with whiskers and tails or something even worse, I wouldn’t even eat it at that time. It’s like this. He never had the courage to find out the truth, but he was naturally stubborn and refused to let go of the matter, so that he couldn't sleep at night, couldn't eat to his taste, and looked haggard and exhausted every day... It was also because he was determined not to give up, but one day he met a gourmet master by chance. After hearing the reason, I couldn't help but look up to the sky and smile: "The one who harmed the king is a typo!" Mushu person, Osmanthus sinensis mistake! It refers to eggs. The egg yolk is mixed with white, and the color is like osmanthus. Osmanthus is also called sweet-scented osmanthus. The strokes of sweet-scented osmanthus are so thick that the shopkeepers can’t write it. Over time, no one knows what it is.
Osmanthus osmanthus, also known as Osmanthus osmanthus, is an evergreen shrub belonging to the family Osmanthus fragrans, such as silver osmanthus, four seasons osmanthus, etc., and has dark yellow broken flowers, which are very fragrant. The scrambled eggs are called osmanthus because they are similar in color and shape. In the past, people in old Beijing who were more particular about etiquette were afraid of using words like chicken, egg, etc. that could easily arouse indecent associations, so in restaurants, all dishes with scrambled eggs as auxiliary ingredients were called osmanthus~. In addition to sweet-scented osmanthus meat, there are also sweet-scented osmanthus fried rice, sweet-scented osmanthus cucumber, sweet-scented osmanthus peas, etc. Nowadays, it’s not so particular. Except for the osmanthus meat as a complete dish name, the rest can just call the egg.
To put it simply, mushu is actually a typo of osmanthus. The scrambled eggs are called osmanthus. , because the two are similar in color and shape.
