When it comes to China's ancient famous food with historical origins, people often think of Dongpo meat first. According to legend, this is a kind of delicious food invented by Su Dongpo, a famous poet in the Northern Song Dynasty. The preparation method of Dongpo meat is not complicated. There are fresh pork, salt, sugar, wine, soy sauce and other things, and then simmer with a small fire to make a delicious Dongpo meat. Su Dongpo cooked this dish and always shared it with his neighbors. This dish gradually became famous and passed down. People in this world eat this dish, and it is quite interesting to think of allusions.
In addition to Dongpo meat, beggar chicken has a long history. According to legend, when Zhu Yuanzhang attacked the world, he was chased by the enemy all the way. When he was tired and hungry, he suddenly smelled a strange smell ahead. He stepped forward and saw a beggar wrapping the whole chicken in mud and roasting it on the fire. Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled and asked the beggar what he was doing. When the beggar saw that it was Zhu Yuanzhang, he humbly presented his roasted chicken to Zhu Yuanzhang. After Zhu Yuanzhang tasted it, he was full of praise for this dish. Later, when Zhu Yuanzhang ruled the country, people handed down this dish as a souvenir. Zhu Yuanzhang also specially named this dish Fu Gui Chicken.
In addition to the above two dishes, there are countless dishes with origins in history. Although history is difficult to textual research, these origins and allusions add a lot of connotation and charm to dishes, making them more valuable. Today, we should also cherish the wisdom of our ancestors and let these dishes and allusions continue to spread.
