Lu Zhoufu said: Su Shi and his younger brother Su Che were between Wuzhou and Tengzhou when they were demoted to the south. They met and saw a noodle seller on the roadside. The two brothers bought noodles and ate them together. The noodles were too thick to be eaten. Su Che put down his chopsticks and sighed, but by this time Su Shi had already finished the noodles.

He said to Su Che slowly: "Jiusanlang, do you still want to chew and taste it carefully?" After speaking, he stood up with a big smile. After Qin Shaoyou heard about this, he said: "This is Mr. Dongpo's principle of 'just drink, regardless of the taste'.
