This is a folk tradition, which originated from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period (also known as the Three Kingdoms).

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a respected doctor named Hua Tuo. One day, when Dr. Hua Tuo was picking herbs, he encountered heavy rain and took shelter in an old man's house. Seeing that the old man had a headache, dizziness, pain and embarrassment, Hua Tuo diagnosed the old man, and picked a handful of shepherd's purse in the old man's garden and asked the old man to take juice and boil eggs to eat.

The old man did this, took three eggs, and he recovered. After the story spread, people followed suit. Because Hua Tuo treated the elderly on the third day of March, on the third day of March, boiled eggs with rice dishes gradually spread and formed a folk tradition.

boiled eggs with shepherd's purse is a dish, which belongs to the domestic food. The main raw materials are shepherd's purse and eggs, and the main ingredients are cooking oil, refined salt, etc., which are made by slow fire stewing.

1. Take the eggs out of the refrigerator and let them cool in cold water for 1 minute (to prevent them from breaking when cooked); Then open fire and cook with the lid closed (first medium fire, then turn to medium fire and water after boiling) for 7 minutes, and turn off the fire for 1 minute; Finally, take out the eggs and break them one by one.

2. Wash the shepherd's purse and cook it with the roots in boiling water until the soup becomes discolored and thick, and the shepherd's purse smells, and take out the boiled shepherd's purse.

3. Pour the shepherd's purse juice into the bowl filled with eggs, sprinkle some salt to add flavor, let the eggs soak in the juice for one day (so that the shepherd's purse juice can fully enter the broken eggshell) and then take it out for eating.
