Steamed meat in Luoning is one of the traditional dishes of Han nationality in Luoning County of Luoyang City and even in western Henan Province. Legend has it that there was a county magistrate named Zhu in Luoning County in the Song Dynasty. This man's corruption and bribery have made the people miserable, and the people can't do anything about him. At that time, the master of a restaurant outside Yamen observed the people's feelings and came up with a dish called "tying pigs with ropes to eat", which means "Zhu". He sliced the pork, chopped it, wrapped it in a thin leather bag and wrapped it in vermicelli, which means tying a "Zhu" rope and chopping it into meat sauce. When the news came out, everyone was in high spirits and wanted to chew "Zhu" and sulk. In this way, by word of mouth, the business of this restaurant is booming. One day, Zhu County officials also came to eat "rope tied", and the restaurant master quickly grabbed a handful of noodles and sprinkled them on it, and covered them with cages for steaming. Because it smelled delicious, the county magistrate asked what was in the cage. The master said it was steamed meat, which made the county magistrate drool and shouted, "Come on, open the cage and let the master eat some steamed meat!" " This time, Zhu Xianguan ate most of the steamed meat with a colander and then came to eat it every day. Later, after hearing the metaphor of steamed meat, he was so angry in the yamen. Since then, steamed meat has spread slowly and become a unique snack in Luoning.
