Before returning home, Li Guangdi studied gouache at Dongyue Temple. At this time, it suddenly occurred to Li Guangdi that the rice noodles made by Tiger Head Spring have a flexible and delicate taste. It is better to make gouache into thick strips, then dry them and take them to North Korea, and then perform them in public.

Ye Shaofen, then the official of Yongchun, rented a house outside the East Gate and hired a private school teacher to make his younger brother Shao Ben study hard and take the exam. Shao Ben is idle and often goes to Sun's house to buy turtles on credit. Almost every day, Sun and his son are too powerful to offend. Over time, they became regular customers.
One year during the Lantern Festival, Ye Shaoben was beaten for being lewd. After he was rejected by Private Pad, Bang Sun and his son took him in. After this time, Shao Ben finally repented, turned over a new leaf, studied angrily, and still often went to Sun's house to chat and eat turtles.

Age: over 900 years old.
Key figures: Quanzhou Taishou Wang.
Story: It is said that Jinjiang Shenhu Fish Pill was very famous in the early Song and Yuan Dynasties, which was related to a doggerel by Wang. It is said that there was a drought in Quanzhou at that time, and hunger was everywhere. At that time, the magistrate Wang of Quanzhou went to Fashi Temple to inspect agriculture. He found a family celebrating the old lady's birthday, and the hall was full of big fish and meat. It turns out that Qin Gui's relative Qin Xing is celebrating the old lady's birthday at Fashi Temple. When Qin Xing heard that the prefect had arrived, he went to the wing to ask the king to write an inscription as a reward, and offered twelve taels of silver. Wang Zao heard that Qin Xing had no culture, and the official bought it off, so he suggested that after the poem was completed, he must go back to the city shipping company and read it out in public, and donate 12 taels of silver to the Fashi Temple for rain and incense, leaving all the offerings on the main hall for the villagers around Fashi Temple to share. Qin Xing readily promised.
Wang Wenshi, Qin Xingxing Question:? Qin Sheng? . Wang waved his hand on the spot. The Qin family is full of fish, and the people are hungry for bran vegetables. Don't forget to benefit the public when you are happy, and don't forget the disaster when you are promoted. ? Qin Xing didn't know what it meant, and happily returned to the city with his family Ashan.
Qin Xing took the poem to the city shipping company and read it out. He wanted to show off Wang's poems, but they were handed down as a laughing stock by the city shipping company. Qin Xing dare not offend these nouveau riche. He hates the king and gnashes his teeth. At the same time, he also drove his servant Ashan out of the Qin family.
It rained in Quanzhou for several days when wheat was flowering and filling. The king went to the Fashi Temple outside the city to visit the peasants, and someone stopped him on the road to cry foul. It turned out to be Ashan's, Qin's. After hearing Ashan's statement, Wang gave Ashan an idea. At Qin Taijun's birthday party, Wang only ate a bowl of water pill soup, but he thought the water pill was too hard and not delicious. He is thinking about improving water pills. So, in Fashi Temple, Wang combined the imperial diet in Beijing with water pills, and wrote down the methods of selecting materials, making, soup heads and stuffing for Ashan.
Ashan regarded it as a treasure and moved his family to Shenzhen with Wang's prescription, making water pills and selling fish soup. The water pills in Shenzhen and Shanghai are tough and white, not easy to deteriorate, and the entrance is soft and crisp. Fish balls are stuffed with eel, fine wax, sensitive fish and spiced meat, and cooked with meat and bone soup, oil onion and lean meat. The taste is different from other places. It is said that it is made according to Wang's prescription.
Beef Soup
Native place: Fashi Mountain
Age: over 800 years old.
Key figure: Lu Xiufu, a famous minister in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Story: Beef soup is the most popular and common snack in Quanzhou. It is said that the appearance of beef soup is related to Lu Xiufu, a famous minister of the southern imperial clan.
According to legend, in the third year of Jingyan in the Southern Song Dynasty (1278), Bos in Quanzhou promoted Pu Shougeng to the Yuan Dynasty and pursued Wen Tianxiang and others with Yuan soldiers. After the death of Song Dynasty in April, Lu Xiufu and others established Zhao, who was only eight years old. In order to escape the pursuit of Yuan soldiers, they sometimes live on the boat and sometimes go ashore for food, which is very embarrassing. One day, Lu Xiufu led the emperor into Fashi Mountain to beg. Only one family lives in the middle of nowhere, and father and daughter live alone. The only old plow cow in the family was slaughtered by Yuan Bing a few days ago, and now there is only one cowhide and four hooves left. Faced with this situation, Lu Xiufu had to scrape off the meat scraps left on the cowhide bit by bit with his father and daughter. When scraped beef is cooked in boiling soup, some sea salt and Jiang Mo are added. Unexpectedly, the aroma was overflowing, which made the emperor have a full meal.
In the second year of Xiangxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1279), the Song and Yuan armies fought a decisive battle in the mountains, and Song Jun was defeated. Lu Xiufu threw himself into the sea behind his back, and the Southern Song Dynasty perished. However, the beef soup made by Lu Xiufu and the farmer's father and daughter was improved by the farmer's father and daughter and spread among the people. In the Ming Dynasty, with the introduction of sweet potato from Luzon to Fujian, sweet potato powder replaced mung bean powder as the main raw material for making beef soup, which has been maintained to this day.
