One of Zhu Yuanzhang's eccentricities when he was a beggar was drinking tofu soup. Because Zhu Yuanzhang almost starved to death, a bowl of bean curd soup saved his life, so he drank bean curd soup every day after he became emperor, and let the people in the harem accompany him to drink it. For a spoiled concubine, drinking tofu soup is simply miserable.

Zhu Yuanzhang was an emperor of the Ming Dynasty and a civilian emperor. Anyone familiar with history knows that Zhu Yuanzhang's childhood was very miserable. When he was a child, he lived a poor life. In order to survive, Zhu Yuanzhang worked as a cowherd, a beggar and even a monk. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang joined the Rebel Army and began his legendary life. Finally, he overthrew the Yuan Dynasty and became an emperor, from a little beggar to the end.

It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang is also a very capable person. After becoming emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang also made great efforts to give the people a good life. Because he was a beggar when he was a child, Zhu Yuanzhang did not forget the bitter days before he became emperor, and often let his concubines accompany him to suffer. The so-called bitterness is a kind of "sweet soup to remember our bitter experience", a kind of bean curd soup with only a little coarse grains and a few vegetables and no oil and water, which is simply miserable for spoiled concubines.

This kind of bean curd soup was also given a high-profile name by Zhu Yuanzhang, that is, "Pearl Emerald Bean Curd Soup". Although many concubines don't want to drink this soup, no one dares not to drink this soup because of Zhu Yuanzhang's majesty. Once, concubines were put in the cold because they didn't like this soup. In this way, other concubines dare not complain.
