the origin of Huainan beef soup has two versions: Zhao Kuangyin in Song Dynasty and Liu An, the king of Huainan.
in the western Han dynasty, it was recorded in Huai nan zi qi su Xun: "nowadays, slaughtering cattle and cooking their meat is either sour or sweet, and it tastes like a cow." ? [2]?
During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty (1736 -1796), Zhang Zhengshen, a scholar of Hanlin and a native of Shouzhou, was good at food and once served as a senior official of the imperial court. After returning home, the secret recipe of the Qing palace was handed down to future generations. ? [3]?
allusions and legends
Huainan beef soup
In the sixteenth year of Emperor Wendi (164), Liu An was conferred the title of King of Huainan.
according to legend, Liu Dao, the royal chef of Wangfu, is a superb cook, and everyone in the Liu family calls him "Lao Liu Tou".
King Huainan refined elixir on Bagong Mountain, but the delicacies were already cold and tasteless when they were sent to the mountain. When Liu Tou saw that Huainan Wang was eating cold food to satisfy his hunger, he became thinner and thinner. He couldn't help thinking hard and finally came up with a plan.
Liu Tou led many people to kill cattle and take bones, selected herbs and marinades to make soup, and prepared side dishes such as beef and vermicelli to carry up the mountain with the soup.
because the soup is covered with oil, the heat will not go away for a long time.
Huainan Wang was full of praise after tasting it, and beef soup became the secret meal of Liu's family, which was passed down from generation to generation among the people. ? [2]?
During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Zhao Kuangyin attacked Shouchun (now Shouxian County) according to the troops from Bagong Mountain. Shouchun's garrison commander Liu Ren was strict in military discipline and guarded the city like a life. Although the Zhao army fought tenaciously, it was still unable to attack again and again. For a long time, there was no reinforcements outside and no food and grass inside, and Zhao Kuangyin was trapped in Nantang by soldiers.
The local people saw it in their eyes and were anxious. Finally, they slaughtered their own cattle, boiled them into a cauldron of soup and sent them to Zhao Ying. After drinking it, the morale of the officers and men was greatly boosted, and they broke through Shouchun City at one go. In the sixth year of Xiande in the latter Zhou Dynasty (959), Chen Qiao mutinied and Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, and he never forgot the beef soup in Nantang.
Therefore, people call it "Shentang" and "Rescue Decoction".
