Just because of the long-standing Chinese cuisine, for the Chinese, as long as they have the ingredients, they can turn them into delicacies, snacks, etc. You know, pig offal, this food that was not included in the diet at the beginning has now become

Food that cannot be ignored.

The most typical example is saddle pad delicacy. Do you know what kind of delicacy this is?

How is it done?

See below for details.

During the Zhenyuan period of Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty, there was a general. There is no record of his name in history, but his foodie instincts were recorded one by one.

In the eyes of this general, everything in the world can be viewed from the perspective of gourmet food. In his opinion, there is nothing in the world that is inedible.

So, he opened his own restaurant, where he could use anything to cook.

There are a lot of cooking ingredients, but few people can eat the dishes he cooks without any scruples.

The general was also able to tidy up the old mats under the saddle and the used arrow pots, process them, and then put them in the kitchen to cook, and actually made a hot dish.

The delicious food comes out.

However, we have no way of knowing what the general thought after the meal. It is said that the saddles at that time were made of bearskin and deerskin, so there should be no indigestion or poisoning.

But our current mats are all made of various kinds of gums. If you want to imitate them, I think you should worry more about your own life!

"Dragon and Phoenix Wedding Cake" is now a famous dish in Hubei, but do you know where it comes from?

According to legend, during the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan, King of Wu, adopted Zhou Yu’s suggestion and married his sister Sun Shangxiang to Liu Bei.

In fact, he took this opportunity to force Liu Bei to return Jingzhou.

Because Sun Quan and Zhou Yu knew that the marriage was a sham, they did not dare to tell their mothers, ministers in the court, and the people of Wu, lest the sham come true.

Liu Bei's military advisor Zhuge Liang saw through the conspiracy at a glance, so he decided to use the trick and sent Zhao Yun to protect Liu Bei as he went to Jiangdong.

Before leaving, Zhuge Liang ordered people to make a lot of dragon and phoenix wedding cakes, and asked Zhao Yun to distribute them to the people along the way after he arrived in Jiangdong to let them know about the marriage between Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang.

As a result, Sun Quan's mother also learned about this and was very satisfied with Liu Bei, so she agreed to the marriage, and the dragon and phoenix wedding cakes became popular among the people.
