Legend 2:

In the late Qing Dynasty, there was a place called Boya in the south of Zunyi County, and the locals called it "Miao". Next to a local Wang Yu temple, there is a chicken vendor. Chickens are not particularly outstanding in appearance, but their business is surprisingly good every day. At that time, the traffic was underdeveloped, and whether it was passers-by coming from south to north or merchants and vendors in the city, they had to buy a few when passing by. As time goes on, this kind of chicken becomes more and more famous, and people call it "Taifu Chicken". Li Shangyi is not only curious about this kind of chicken, but also wants to see how to make it. After several years of "three worships and nine knocks", people discovered the method of making this kind of chicken. Later, Li Shangyi opened a restaurant specializing in this kind of chicken in Shixian Lane (now Laosha Lane) in Zunyi County.
