During the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty (1871), a couple lived by setting up a meat stall in Wuxi County. The husband's surname is Lu, his name is high, his word is prosperous, and he is a Renshi in Lotus Pond. Lu bugao loved to study food all his life and enjoyed it all the time.
One day, while Bugao was taking a nap, he suddenly smelled a strange fragrance and followed it, only to find a beggar lighting a fire in cook the meat. Seeing the step high, the beggar did not shy away, but simply took out something from his broken bag and threw it into the pot, still mumbling. Step up and look closely, the pot is a meat bone, but what is thrown into the pot is an ordinary straw, as well as colorful grass roots and leaves that I don't know where to pick up. With the increase of materials thrown in, the aroma emitted by the pot is more sweet and mellow, which is unheard of in my life, and it is even more unique in the world. Just as I was about to ask questions, the beggar suddenly disappeared.
when I was surprised, I suddenly felt conscious again. It turned out to be a dream. However, what I saw in my dream is vivid in my mind. After careful consideration, I can understand the truth of food. After many inquiries and searches, I finally searched all the "grass roots and leaves" I saw in my dream. They turned out to be Chinese herbal medicines such as yam and clove, which not only improved the taste, but also benefited people. Then these Chinese herbal medicines are mixed and put into the bone soup being boiled. Then the fragrance filled the air and soon spread all over the city.
