The salt industry in Wutongqiao, Leshan is developed, and salt merchants specialize in using raw brine from cattle to pull salt. Many cows that pull brine are sent to slaughter and sell beef when they are old. There is a village in Suji Town, which has been killing cattle for generations. Men, women and children are proficient in this way, and they are called "killing cattle in Zhoucun". This has become a cattle slaughter point. Most of the beef slaughtered in Zhoucun is exported to Niuhua, Leshan, Shawan, Shuikou and Zhenchang. Because the tripe transportation is unchanged, it can't stay for a long time, so we have to deal with it on the spot. So people in Zhoucun buried a pot to cook beef offal on the west bank of Eguan River in Sujichang, because there were many people working hard in Suji, and the beef soup pot was cheap and cheap, which was very popular among the people.
Affordable stilt beef spread slowly. At first, the beef on stilts could only be regarded as the food of the lower class, and the conditions in the restaurant were also very simple. There is only a square table, and there is no stool for the guests to sit on, but there is a crossbar under the table for the guests to rest. Therefore, this delicious dish is also named "Tiptoe Beef" because the guests sit with their feet up and eat it.
