At this time, he saw smoke rising from the roof of a farmer's house in the distance, and Kangxi went straight to the farmer's house with his entourage. After going in, he saw the old woman of the farmer's house baking a cake and went forward to beg for it.
The old woman said, "The cake hasn't been turned over yet. Only burned one side, not cooked yet. " Emperor Kangxi said, "If you can't turn it over, eat it." He grabbed the cake and began to eat it. The old woman was afraid that Kangxi would choke, so she quickly scooped a bowl of chop suey soup from the pot on the stove and served it to Kangxi. Kangxi soaked the cake in the soup and ate it happily.
After eating, Kangxi asked the old woman what the name of the cake and soup was. The old woman casually replied: We villagers call this kind of cake "mung bean cake" and this kind of soup "chop suey soup".
Kangxi thought for a moment and said that although this cake didn't turn over in the middle when it was just baked, it was particularly delicious, and it tasted better when soaked in this soup. Let's call this cake and soup "non-turning soup".
After Kangxi returned to the palace, he ordered people to give it to the old woman, and also ordered people to attach the words "No soup" when giving it to the old woman. The old woman rented a shop in the city with her family and opened a "soup-free" restaurant. Business is booming.
With the expansion of business scale, the restaurant "KATTO Hall" has received many apprentices, and the production technology of "KATTO Hall" has also been brought to Luoyang City with these apprentices. Today, "KATTO Hall" has become a gourmet "business card" in Luoyang.
