It is a great pleasure to drink a bowl of authentic sour plum soup in the hot summer. There are two rumors about the inventor of Beijing's traditional drink, one is Zhu Yuanzhang, and the other is Qianlong, as both are clearly documented in historical sources.

And I think it was Zhu Yuanzhang who first invented sour plum soup, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang was in the Ming Dynasty while Qianlong was in the Qing Dynasty. It is only fair to say that Qianlong made sour plum soup a great success, and added a lot of Chinese herbs to the ingredients, making it a drink that not only quenches the thirst, but also has the effect of toning the body. According to legend, Zhu Yuanzhang in the war with Chen Youliang two armies, due to the hot climate will be a hometown specialty of sour plums with boiling water after boiling, to give all the soldiers to drink.

But this sour plum flavor is too strong, so slightly added some rock sugar inside, did not expect for a lot of heat stroke officers and soldiers have played a very good effect. So the origin of sour plum soup should be Zhu Yuanzhang invented. Sour plum soup this thing is really very good, but we usually still want to drink a small amount, because now the sour plum soup drink contains too much sugar.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang also invented a very famous dish called Pearl Emerald White Jade Soup. Of course this dish is what we call home cooked cabbage and tofu.

At that time, during his begging period, Zhu Yuanzhang got all the ingredients together in a haphazard way because he ate the first meal but not the next. It is said that after the creation of the Ming dynasty, but also deliberately let the people who once did this dish and then redo it again, the results of all the princes and ministers to eat the blowing beard and eyes, because it is too difficult to eat, people in different situations to eat different food, the feeling is also different.
