Stories and legends

In our country, people entertain guests at happy events and festivals. The most important thing is to use eight bowls, seven meats and one vegetarian on the Eight Immortals dining table. The origin of the Eight Immortals Table and Eight Bowls is said to be related to the Eight Immortals in Penglai.

According to legend, when the Eight Immortals crossed the sea, they didn't mean to annoy the Dragon King, so the Dragon King in the East China Sea went to war with them. Due to the disparity in strength between the two sides, it is difficult to win a long battle. Tired and tired, I retreated to the seaside to have a rest. Feeling that my stomach was empty and my hunger was unbearable, I looked for food separately to satisfy my hunger. I don't know. The beach I saw was very thin and desolate. Everyone went home disappointed except Cao Guojiu.

It turned out that Cao Guojiu went to the mainland alone and suddenly smelled a strange smell, making his mouth water. He immediately looked for it and went into a village on earth. He disguised himself as a peasant villager and peeped into the villa owner's house. He only saw eight people around the square table, and attractive dishes were placed on the ground one after another. The prince's maternal uncle thought:

I used to be a prince's uncle in the imperial court, and I was tired of eating palace food. I've never seen a farm dish. Why don't you let me feast my eyes first? Suddenly, I thought that all the immortals were on an empty stomach, so I took seven dishes, and I remembered that Xiangu didn't eat meat, so I brought them alone-vegetarian dishes, which counted as eight bowls, and left a sentence: My uncle borrowed eight bowls of dishes for all the immortals, and I will definitely repay them later.
