Celebrities are also human beings, and they want to eat the fireworks of the world just like ordinary people.

However, due to the different identities of celebrities, there are many endless interesting anecdotes between celebrities and food.

Celebrities are worth a hundred times more than gold. More than a thousand years ago, Tang Meng of the Western Han Dynasty was ordered to go to South Vietnam as an envoy.

At the banquet, he drank the mellow and delicious Jujiang wine for the first time and greatly appreciated it.

When he returned to the court, he took a few bottles with him and presented them to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Jinkou tasted it and immediately offered it as tribute wine.

Jujiang wine suddenly became worth a hundred times.

During the Qing Dynasty, Wang Zhihe started a tofu business because his official career was not going well.

Later, the tofu he made was tasted by the Empress Dowager Cixi by chance. Cixi praised it and it became an imperial product. From then on, Wang Zhihe's business prospered and his wealth continued to grow.

Famous and Special Flavor Created by Celebrities "Shabu-boiled mutton" is a famous and special flavor.

But its ability to be passed down is related to Kublai Khan.

700 years ago, Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, wanted to eat the delicacy "stewed mutton" on the grassland while leading his army.

The chef who accompanied the army immediately slaughtered the sheep and trimmed the meat. Unexpectedly, the enemy situation suddenly broke out and it was too late to make "mutton stew". The chef hurriedly cut the mutton into thin slices, put it in the pot, stirred it, took it out, put some seasoning and served it.

Kublai Khan was hungry and was not selective about food. After eating, he faced the enemy and won a complete victory. He also ordered the chef to prepare the food in the same way and suggested adding a lot of condiments. After eating, the ministers praised him endlessly.

Kublai Khan gave it the name "Shabu-boiled mutton".

"Jinhua Ham" was invented by Zongze, a famous general in the Song Dynasty.

Zongze was the leader of the war faction. Because he won successive battles, the people carried fat pigs to express their condolences. There was too much pork to eat, so Zongze ordered people to cut off the pig legs and marinate them.

Because the pickled pork legs were wet and heavy, they were inconvenient to carry on the march, so they were often exposed to the sun for a few times and hung in the wind to dry. Over time, the leg meat became as red as fire, and everyone called it "ham."

.

Eating habits vary widely. Celebrities have their own dietary habits.

In the Ming Dynasty, Qi Jiguang liked to get ahead. When he was guarding the Xuguan Pass, in order to satisfy his addiction to pig heads, he did not hesitate to send a horseman to Chaoshou Hutong in Beijing to buy Huajia pig heads there.

Liu Bang loved to eat cold pizhi.

When Liu Bang was granted the title of King of Han, he became addicted to the local Liangpizi in Hanzhong.

After becoming the emperor, he did not forget to eat Hanzhong Liangpi.

It is said that some people were promoted because they paid tribute to Liu Bang.

"Zhaojun Pizi" is a stuffed Pizi that Gansu people eat daily in summer. It is said that Wang Zhaojun was not used to eating pasta after going out of China, so the chef separated the flour into starch and gluten.

"Guifei Chicken" is a famous Sichuan dish in Shanghai, named after the story of Yang Guifei getting drunk in Baihua Pavilion.

"Han Palace Cangjiao" was originally called "Loach Diamond Tofu", which is a famous dish in Jiangxi. The tofu is used to describe the purity of Diao Chan, and the loach is used to compare Dong Zhuo's treacherousness.

EMI Customs and Nostalgic Feelings Among the food customs of past dynasties and various ethnic groups, many are related to celebrities.

For example, eating "rice cake" is to commemorate Wu Zixu.

In 514 BC, King Wu asked Wu Zixu to supervise the construction of the royal city.

After King Wu's son Fucha succeeded to the throne, he believed the slander and killed Wu Zixu.

Before he died, Zixu said to his subordinates: If after my death the country is in trouble and the people have no food to eat, they can dig three feet under the city gate wall to find something to eat.

Later, the State of Yue attacked the State of Wu, and the soldiers and people in the city were short of food. Wu Zixu's subordinates led the soldiers and people to dig under the Xiangmen City, and as expected they dug out many "city bricks" that could satisfy their hunger. It turned out that the "city bricks" were made of glutinous rice flour. This is

Wu Zixu's strategy of "accumulating food to prepare for emergencies" was devised during his lifetime. The soldiers and people of Wu State relied on these city bricks to tide over the difficulties.

From then on, every new year, the people of Wu State would make rice cakes similar to "city bricks" to commemorate Wu Zixu.

There are many such situations, such as eating rice dumplings to commemorate Qu Yuan; eating Laba porridge to commemorate Buddha; eating wontons to commemorate Pangu, etc.
