Nine-turn large intestine is a hot word on the Internet recently. This meme is very interesting. It comes from the competition scene of the first season of "Top Chef" because one contestant's large intestine was not processed properly. After the judges tasted it, their faces looked ferocious, and this joke emerged.

When contestant Yu Tao was cleaning the large intestine in "Top Chef", the judges pointed out that there was something wrong with the way he cleaned the large intestine to remove the fishy smell. So after making the nine-turn large intestine, he said, "I removed most of the fishy smell of the intestines, but I kept a part of it. I think it's only when I retain part of the taste that I know what I'm eating is large intestine."

So, all the judges who tasted the intestines made by this contestant had ferocious faces and were so devilish that they have now become the fodder for video uploaders and become popular all over the Internet.

The dish of Jiuzhuan Large Intestine was first created by the chef of Jinan Jiuhualou Hotel during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. The shop owner's surname is Du. He is very rich and has opened nine shops in Jinan. He is very interested in nine, so his shops all have the character nine. The chefs of Jiuhualou have developed a famous dish called Braised Large Intestine. This dish uses all the ingredients and is cooked first, then fried and then grilled.

Ingredients include amomum villosum, cinnamon, cardamom, onions, ginger, garlic, cooking wine, clear soup, sesame oil, etc. The taste is sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and salty. After burning, coriander is added to add a refreshing flavor. When served on a plate, it is red and translucent, fat but not greasy.

One time, the owner, Mr. Du, was entertaining guests. When the waiter served the braised large intestine, everyone was full of praise after tasting the dish. A scholar asked: "How can such a delicious dish be given a good name?" Boss Du was very happy that the guests liked the dish, but he didn't give it a name either.

So he said to the literati: "Brother, please give me a name for this dish?" The literati was very pleased. In order to cater to the shop owner's preference for nine and praise the chef's craftsmanship, he named it nine. Turn to the large intestine, sit down together and ask where the code comes from. He said that Taoists are good at refining elixirs and are known as the Nine-turn elixir. Eating this delicacy is like taking it for nine turns, which is comparable to elixir. From then on, braised large intestine was renamed Jiuzhuan large intestine.
