Soup is as delicious as a mother's love, as Wang Anshi said.

This sentence was praised by Wang Anshi for simmering soup in a crock, a non-legacy food in Nanchang, Jiangxi. Wang Anshi in the Northern Song Dynasty passed through the Jiangnan East Road Criminal Prison to Yuzhang, passing through a simmering soup shop, and the aroma was attractive and crowded. When Wang Anshi tasted a bowl, he felt fresh, fragrant, mellow and beautiful, elegant and gentle. Its taste was similar to the stew made by his loving mother in those days. He said, "Soup is like a mother's love, and it tastes the best in the world." Nanchang crock stew has been passed down to this day.

The story of simmering soup in a crock:

It is said that during Jiayou period in the Northern Song Dynasty, a gifted scholar from Hongzhou invited a friend for an outing to a beautiful place, and ordered his servant to cook fish, cook chicken and roast meat on the spot and play until sunset. Everyone was still unsatisfied and agreed to come back tomorrow. When he left, the servant put the remaining chicken, fish and seasoning into a crock, filled it with clear spring, sealed it with a lid, and stuffed it into an unlit ash furnace and sealed it with soil, leaving only one hole for ventilation.

the next day, everyone arrived as scheduled, and the servant moved the buried crock out before opening the crock cover. It was fragrant and delicious! Since then, everyone went out to play in the same way, and was later learned by a shopkeeper and led to the restaurant. Since then, the crock simmer soup has become famous among the people and has become a must. A gourmet once wrote a poem praising: "People have been stewing soup for thousands of years, and guests from all over the world often linger. A thousand years of exotic flowers can be harvested, and the maple red is everywhere. "
