Su Dongpo's story in Hangzhou is less than 200 words.
Su Dongpo organized migrant workers to dredge the West Lake, so that the crops in the four townships of Hangzhou were bumper. Grateful Hangzhou people pay a New Year call to Su Dongpo with pigs and wine. Su Dongpo cut pork into squares, burned it red and crisp, and then distributed it to Hangzhou people according to the roster of dredging the West Lake for the New Year. People call this kind of meat Dongpo Meat. Because "Dongpo Meat" tastes delicious, oily but not greasy, it is very popular with the people. Later, restaurants in Hangzhou, large and small, also learned to cook this dish, put up a brand and named it "Dongpo Meat". It is also said that one day, after Dongpo meat became famous, North Korea's censor came to Hangzhou for a visit in disguise. As soon as he entered the restaurant to order food, the first time he saw Dongpo meat, he collected all the restaurant menus and went back to Beijing to play the emperor, saying that Su Dongpo took bribes in Hangzhou and perverted the law. The people hated it and wanted to eat its meat, and presented the menus as evidence. The emperor didn't know the reason, so he ordered Su Dongpo to be removed and sent to Hainan.
