The legend of rice roll pig. Rice rolls, formerly known as vermicelli, is a local delicacy with a long history in Zhanjiang. According to folklore, when Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he heard that Ji Xiaolan, the minister, introduced snacks in Lingnan and western Guangdong, which were more flavorful, so he became interested and decided to secretly visit western Guangdong. One day, Gan Long came to Zhanjiang in western Guangdong. In the market, he only saw ordinary people eating white food with relish around the booth. Emperor Qianlong was curious and asked the local officials around him. Local officials said: "This is rice food, called vermicelli." Hearing this, Gan Long also asked for a dish to enjoy. After eating, I even praised: "Good, good, good, cool, tender and slippery. There is really something delicious in western Guangdong! " And said, "This vermicelli is shaped like pig intestines." Since the emperor opened the golden mouth, the name of rice rolls pig has spread all over Zhanjiang, which is the origin of the word rice rolls in folklore.
