Among them, braised pork with plum vegetables is of great origin. Let Bian Xiao introduce the origin of "braised pork".

Legend 1: The land in Lingnan is vast, with low mountains and undulating fertile soil. In the late Ming Dynasty, a large number of Hakkas in the Central Plains moved their families to the south to escape the war. 40 miles north of the city, there is a flat land surrounded by mountains, welcoming Pan, Liu, Lu, Yu and others. They chose their own areas to start businesses and settle down. Duke Lu was born in a scholarly family and worked as a small local official. Dissatisfied with political corruption, he also settled here with his wife and children from the south. This place is open and flat, and streams flow through it. A simple wooden bridge was built across the stream and across the water. Later, the village was named "Tuqiao".

Mrs. Lu Huo was born in a noble family, learned and kind, but not good at farming. Mrs Lu gave birth to five children. She is still young and hungry, running around in the war, and all her savings and expenses are exhausted. She only relies on her husband to farm, half hungry and half full. One day she was washing clothes by the river, and the children were hungry and crying for dinner. The wife couldn't help feeling sad and tears flowed down the river. A breeze, floating a colorful cloud, saw a girl standing in front of me, kind-hearted, sage like type. The girl came forward to comfort her and said, "Madam, take a rest and be sad. Good people are blessed by God. Today, I have cultivated and cultivated a hundred-year-old bag of vegetables, which is widely supplied to all people. It can be harvested before the Spring Festival, and then there will be one more thing in China, and the children will be full and warm! " With that, the fairy walked away, and Mrs. Hu quickly thanked her and asked the girl's last name. In the future, she will repay her. The girl smiled and replied, "I don't want to repay you." My surname is Mei. " Then go away. Mrs. Lu chose the autumnal equinox season and planted seeds in the garden. Within a few days, green-brushed seedlings appeared, extremely strong. Transplanting coincides with the autumn harvest, and there are a lot of rice fields for transplanting. So, the couple prepared the transplanted soil for a few days and planted more than an acre for a few days. After watering and fertilizing, it is the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye, and it is the harvest season again. Vegetables grow big and fat, each weighing several halls. Picked and cooked, fresh, sweet and smooth, especially delicious. The children are full and like to jump straight. After eating for several days, when the vegetables were ripe and blossomed, they asked their neighbors to adopt them. You have a basket, and there is still one piece left that has not been harvested. If you don't harvest it, it will get old. What a waste! While worrying about what to do, Mrs. Lu suddenly remembered bacon, and her eyes lit up: pork can be cured, but vegetables can't? She tried to cut the vegetables, dry them, pickle them in pottery (jar), and pancreas! Top good. In order to remove water, dry and store, she collected a kind of soft and clean grass called Huang Mao Slope on the mountain as an auxiliary cushion and sealed it for storage. The dried vegetable meat is bright, golden, waxy and fragrant. During the Spring Festival, relatives and friends guard against each other. At the banquet, they took out plum vegetables and cooked them with pork, which was fresh, sweet and delicious and had a unique flavor. Relatives and friends asked what it was, and Mrs. Lu said it was a dish sent by Mei Jie, so it was called "Mei Cai". After that, it was introduced by relatives and friends, and soon spread in the Dongjiang River Basin and was widely planted. Since then, Huizhou has had plum dishes.

After the Opium War, western powers carved up China, and British imperialism sent a large number of missionaries into China for cultural aggression. On the hillside near the highway in the north of Aipigu village, an English building with a conical roof and semicircular windows was built. The locals call it "Fanguilou". In the building lived an English missionary named John, who preached and collected disciples in the local area. Win people's hearts. John occasionally wears western-style clothes and a hat, walks into village roads and fields with a civilized stick, chats with local young farmers and preaches Catholic teachings. Over time, we got to know each other. One day, John invited a group of young people to drink coffee in the building and talked about the gold rush in Nanyang, a British colony. There is a great opportunity to make a fortune, and there is no retreat in the future! A group of young people are eager to try, led by John After some thinking, they finally persuaded their elders and decided to leave their hometown to start a business in Nanyang. So I chose an auspicious day, took John's letter of introduction and map, worshipped my ancestors, packed a pinch of hometown soil, and took a big bag of plum vegetables on the journey. After half a month's turbulence, a group of young people headed by Xiao Peng finally arrived at a place called Jilongpu in Ji Ling, Nanyang Islands, and became the first generation of Chinese to develop Nanyang. At that time, there were thousands of Chinese from all over the mainland, new arrivals, acclimatized, allergic to skin and dizzy; Repeated medication has no effect. Desperate, I had to burn incense in the north and ask the ancestors of the mainland to bless me. Because he missed his ancestors, Xiao Peng thought of the plum dishes he brought from the mainland. He wants to boil water and take a bath with plum vegetables in his hometown. Maybe he can get rid of foreign diseases! Xiao Peng tried, and it worked. After taking a bath, he relaxed and refreshed! It turns out that the ingredients of hometown products have some kind of blood-like induction with people, and plums have medicinal value of clearing away heat, detoxifying and removing annoyance. According to Xiao Peng's statement, expatriates from all over the world came to ask for boiled water for a bath. The expatriates finally overcame the initial signs, and realized that the plum dishes in Tangshan's hometown were a must-have treasure for the expatriates in Southeast Asia. It is not only a precious delicacy, but also a divine dish for health care and disease elimination. Expatriates began to raise funds, and elected Xiao Peng as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and returned to China to buy plum vegetables every year. After the Spring Festival, plum vegetables are on the market, and expatriates are scrambling to buy them, which is a must for every family. Huizhou plum cuisine, a Lingnan specialty from the motherland, is well-known in Nanyang.

Legend 2: It turns out that the whole name of this village is Lu, and it moved from Jiangxi to settle down 500 years ago. The Lujia married a young daughter-in-law, Hongmei, who was hardworking and kind, and was very filial to the elderly. The village is full of clay, so it is difficult to grow rice and vegetables. In the transplanting season, people in the village have no food to eat. To this end, Amei often has to walk dozens of miles back to her parents' house to get food for her in-laws. There is a small river outside the village and a wooden bridge over it. People who cross the bridge will fall into the river if they are not careful. Once ah mui was washing clothes by the river, and an old woman wanted to cross the river. The wooden bridge is too narrow for her to cross. Ah Mui said, "Grandma, I'll carry you." So, A-mei's brand was found (2) Yue Yi, Pan's rubber thief, arrived at the other side. Grandma took out two kinds of dishes from her pocket and said to A-mei, "This dish is not eaten by pigs or spoiled by cows. After the rice is harvested, you plant it, and you will marinate it with enough salt in the spring of next year, so that there will be no shortage of vegetables when transplanting rice. " Ah Mui took the food and went back to wash clothes. When she looked back, a dirt bridge appeared on the river. When she looked back, grandma disappeared-it turned out that Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared! Later, this village was called Tuqiao Village, and the vegetables it grew were called plum vegetables. A temple was built in the village to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva. The bell in the temple was cast in Chongzhen of Ming Dynasty, and the locals said that it was a plum dish planted before the bell was cast.
