In daily life, the "steamed bread" people eat belongs to a kind of food fermented and steamed with flour, which is round and bulging. At first, this kind of food was stuffed, and later it was called stuffing-free steamed bread in northern China. Why? It is closely related to Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period. In order to explain the origin of "steamed bread" and "steamed buns" that people generally like to eat in life, we need to start with Zhuge Liang.

Legend has it that Zhuge Liang, while assisting Liu Bei to conquer the world, led an army into the southwest to conquer Meng Huo. When crossing the Lushui River, that is, in the lower reaches of the Yalong River, after the Jinsha River joins the Yalong River, it happened in May of the lunar calendar, that is, Zhuge Liang < < a model > >, "Crossing Luzhou in May, going deep and barren", what is this? In other words, in May of the lunar calendar, summer is hot, and Lushui is different from the water in other places, "miasma is too strong". Not only that, the water also contains toxic substances. The soldiers didn't expect to die, and more people became ill after eating Lushui.

In this case, Zhuge Liang, after careful consideration, ordered the soldiers to kill pigs and cows, mixed beef and pork, chopped them into paste and steamed them in the shape of a human head, so that the soldiers ate them and quickly destroyed the disabled and sick soldiers. As a result, people around Lushui circulated that Zhuge Liang's head-shaped "steamed bread" could avoid the plague.

Since then, people have stopped making "steamed bread" in their lives. With the continuous development of social life practice, closely combined with the needs of life and diet, it gradually evolved into a food with meat in "steamed bread", which is called "steamed bread". Because it is wrapped in flour and meat, it is just right, and it is named "steamed bread".

However, it is even more interesting that a book in> says: "In the Song Dynasty, there was a doctor named Sun Lin who treated gonorrhea in Song Ningzong, that is, he took garlic wrapped in steamed bread and lobster sauce three times a day and recovered after three days, and was regarded as a miraculous doctor. Lu You, a famous poet in the Song Dynasty, not only wrote: the praise of poetry is also the self-annotation of his poetry; There is a cloud in Its> poem: "Fog and rain are dark, grass is dark, children will be like in Shu, and a plate of cage cakes is a pea nest." "Lu You's evaluation is:" The barbecued pork buns (that is, stuffing) in Shu are very good, but the Tang people only call them cage cakes. " It can be seen that the pork noodle steamed bread in Sichuan was already very famous at that time.
