The second statement is related to a butcher in the late Qing Dynasty. According to legend, the butcher can't read, so he learned the words "pork", "pork liver" and "pork vermicelli sausage" from the teacher near his home for the convenience of bookkeeping. Later, the course was opened, and some people encouraged the butcher to take the exam, saying that fame and fortune depended on the ancestors' accumulated virtues. The butcher believed it, ran to the exam, wrote the words "pork", "pork liver" and "pork sausage" on the paper and handed them in. It happens that this year's examiner is the teacher who taught him these words. The teacher was amused and thought it would be better to make him happy, so he handed in another article to the butcher. Later, in the butcher's high school, the teacher began to regret it, fearing that the butcher would come back and be an asshole, so he ordered the examiner of the next subject to invalidate the paper if he saw that someone only wrote the words "pork", "pork liver" and "pork vermicelli sausage" on it. Unexpectedly, after seeing the examination paper, the examiner remembered the instructions of his former colleagues, thought there was a mystery in it, and was happy to betray his personal feelings, so he made an article to let the butcher win again. Later, the butcher went to Beijing to take the Jinshi exam, but he was late and was turned away. Stunned, a prince passed by and left a lantern. The butcher picked up the lantern and strolled to the entrance of the test center. When the guard saw that it was Wang Yejia's lantern, he thought the man was serious and hurried to welcome him. The butcher put the lantern on the table, and so on. He wrote seven big characters on the paper and handed it in. The examiner who saw the lantern in Wang Fu was busy writing an article for him, and the butcher was in high school. Later someone asked the butcher what high school he went to. The butcher replied, "pork, pork liver, pork sausage." Therefore, later generations called the porridge boiled with these three materials "Heshou porridge".
The third argument is that during the Qing Dynasty, Lin Zhaotang, the champion of Guangdong Province, returned to his hometown (now Wuyang Town, Wuchuan City, Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province) to worship his ancestors. He likes to cook porridge with pig liver, kidney and belly every day. One day, an imperial adviser who retired to Guangzhou came to visit Lin Zhaotang. It happened that the champion Lin was eating porridge, and hurriedly asked the old suggestion to eat it together. It is suggested to smell an attractive fragrance and ask him what porridge he is eating. Lin Zhuangyuan knew that the old censor often wanted his son to go to high school, so he pointed to porridge and replied respectfully: There is also the first porridge. The old suggestion heard that he was full of love and you're welcome, so he had dinner with the champion. Porridge is as white as porridge and delicious. In the imperial examination era, the number one scholar, the number one scholar and the number two scholar were the top three in the imperial examination. Lin Zhaotang compared the three internal organs of pigs, namely, liver, kidney and belly, to Shan Zhi. After eating the first bite of porridge, Yu Shi returned home and ordered the chef to cook it according to law, and gave it to his son after careful cooking. His son is a top student in high school. The old suggestion was overjoyed, and everyone was talking about the benefits of porridge. Therefore, the first porridge is widely circulated.
The fourth statement is closer to the reality of life. In the pork industry and catering industry, Guangdong people call pig intestines "entering the water", but it is not appropriate to write this nickname directly on the menu. In order to improve its status in the water, gourmets nicknamed it "Ji". Later, the porridge shop also renamed the porridge cooked by pigs as "Hedi porridge", also called "Sanyuan Hedi porridge". Guangzhou Xiguan is the center of old Guangzhou. Since the Tang Dynasty, it has been a gathering place for foreign businessmen, a distribution center for goods and a very active commercial trade. The catering fashion and cooking methods in various places have promoted the development of Xiguan catering industry. Literature records: "Guangzhou Xiguan, meat forest and wine sea, no cold and heat, no day and night." A large number of traditional cuisines with their own characteristics have been produced here, among which "Hetian porridge" has been passed down from generation to generation and is a household name.
