It is said that it spread as early as the Tang Xuanzong era. There are many romantic stories in Tang Xuanzong, but Yang Yuhuan is my favorite.
Legend has it that Yang Yuhuan collected 3,000 favorite pieces of Tang Xuanzong as soon as he entered the palace. There is a folk legend that "when riding a princess in the world of mortals, no one knows it is litchi." Yang Guifei, whose real name is Yang Yuhuan (AD 7 19-756), was a court musician and dancer in the Tang Dynasty, whose musical talent was rare among empresses in past dynasties. Originally from Yongle, Zhou Pu (now Yongji, Shanxi). In the seventh year of Kaiyuan, 765438+June 09 1 was born in Shu County (now Chengdu, Sichuan). Yang Guifei was born beautiful, and the superior educational environment made her have a certain cultural accomplishment, elegant personality, proficient in temperament, good at singing and dancing, and good at playing the pipa. She was called the four beauties in ancient China together with Wang Zhaojun and Di Xin.
It is said that Yuhuan grew up in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, and especially loved to eat local folk snacks in Sichuan since childhood, especially hot and sour powder-beautiful women have loved hot and sour powder since ancient times, and they must eat hot and sour powder every time they go out. Yuhuan is beautiful as a fairy since she was a child, and she can sing and dance well. Every time I go to the hot and sour powder shop, the owner, Ms. Chen, is very happy. After a long time, Ms. Chen from the hot and sour powder shop recognized Yuhuan as her goddaughter. The Chen family has a son, who is also very good-looking. Yuhuan affectionately calls him little brother every time. The Chen family was also a big family in the local area at that time, and it was just right with the Yuhuan family. Mr. Chen, the owner of the hot and sour powder shop, wants to wait until Yuhuan is older before proposing to Yang. The two adults are also happy, and the two children are considered innocent.
However, there are unexpected events in the sky, and people are doomed. Anything could happen. Yuhuan 10 years old, his father died suddenly. She had to follow her mother to her uncle Hsuan Yang's house, who was an official in Luoyang. Later, due to the transfer of his uncle Hsuan Yang, he moved to Yongle to be an official (Yongji, Shaanxi Province). He never ate his favorite hot and sour powder again, nor did he see her little brother until he became the imperial concubine of the palace.
Until later, Yang Guifei didn't know what disease she had, and she couldn't afford it. Doctor Yu in the palace is at a loss. Everyone can't find the reason, all the displays are normal, just like ordinary people, but she just doesn't want tea and rice and can't eat anything. She was so anxious that Tang Xuanzong recruited famous doctors and experts all over the world to study monkeys, but to no avail. Tang Xuanzong sat in front of a cold and warm bed every day, and even everyone knew that the person riding a red horse didn't know it was litchi. She doesn't eat litchi. Gao Lishi, the eunuch, is trying to please Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei. He wanted to give Yang all the delicious food in the world-all the delicious food was taken away, but Yang Guifei didn't even look at it. Suddenly one day, he had a brainwave and thought that the imperial concubine grew up in Sichuan when she was a child. When she was a child, she wanted to eat snacks from her hometown. Of course, hot and sour powder was very famous in Sichuan at that time. Gao Lishi found the hot and sour powder without much effort, and sent someone to take Mr. Chen, the heir of the hot and sour powder, to the palace. He also brought all the ingredients and unique Xiangyu cream from Sichuan. It is said that this cream has to go through 998 1 process, 8864 ingredients and 7749 days before it can be refined, which is difficult for ordinary people to make and is prepared by Mr. Chen himself. When they came to the imperial concubine's bedroom with a bowl of authentic hot and sour powder, she suddenly sat up. When they saw the hot and sour powder in the hands of Mr. Chen and Mr. Chen, they could not help but burst into tears and drool, holding the hot and sour powder and eating it upside down at the bottom of the bowl. The change of Yang Guifei's body shocked everyone present. Tang Xuanzong even said without thinking that "this kind of powder is the best in the world", and then officially gave him the best hot and sour powder in the world.
