The origin of boiled eggs in local dishes

Legend has it that during the Three Kingdoms period, the famous doctor Hua Tuo came to Miancheng to collect herbs. One day, when he was sheltering from the rain in an old man's house, he saw that the old man was suffering from headache and dizziness. He was very painful and embarrassed. Hua tuo immediately diagnosed the old man, picked a handful of rice dishes in the old man's garden, and asked the old man to take juice and boil eggs.

The old man obeyed, took three eggs and recovered. The story spread, people scrambled eggs with rice in succession, and the craze spread all over urban and rural areas. Hua tuo treated the elderly on March 3, so it became a custom in Mianyang to fry eggs with rice on March 3. Later, it gradually spread and became popular in Jianghan Plain.
