In the autumn of 225, the third year of Jianxing in Shu and Han Dynasties, Zhuge Liang attacked the enemy, captured Meng Huo in seven ways, and moved back to North Korea after making good relations with the southwest ethnic minorities. March to Lushui, it's autumn in September, and suddenly there are clouds and winds; Soldiers can't cross, report to Zhuge Liang. Kong Ming asked Meng Huo again, and someone told him, "This water used to be a disaster, so people who come and go should sacrifice." Zhuge Liang said, "What shall I sacrifice to enjoy?" He said: "In the old days, 7749 black cows and white sheep were sacrificed because of evil spirits in the country. Year after year, it was naturally calm and fruitful." Zhuge Liang said, "I have solved this matter. Can I kill a person for nothing? " So I went to Lushui Bank to watch. Everyone was surprised to see the strong evil wind and rough waves.

Kong Ming was very suspicious, so he asked the natives. The natives reported, "Since the Prime Minister passed by, I only heard ghosts crying by the water every night. From dusk to dawn, I cried nonstop. In the smoke, there are countless ghosts. Therefore, if it is a disaster, no one dares to cross it. " Zhuge Liang said, "This is my sin. Before Ma Dai led thousands of Shu soldiers, all died in the water; He also killed southerners and abandoned this place. Crazy souls blame ghosts, which can't be explained, and it happens. I should go to sacrifice myself tonight. " The locals said, "We must follow the same example. If you kill forty-nine heads as a sacrifice, the ghost will disperse. " Zhuge Liang said, "I am a ghost when I die. How can I kill another person? I have my own ideas. " Tell the kitchen to slaughter cattle and horses; Taking dough as the agent, it is molded into a human head and replaced with meat such as cattle and sheep, which is called steamed bread.

This is how steamed bread is produced. Later, with the continuous development of society and the close connection with the needs of life and diet, steamed bread with meat stuffing gradually evolved into "steamed bread".
