Eight-treasure rice is a famous dish in Hubei, and "Jingzhou Eight-treasure Rice" is famous at home and abroad as one of the first-class foods.

It is said that Empress Dowager Cixi in the Qing Dynasty loved eight-treasure rice very much. At that time, there was a chef named Xiao Dai who was good at cooking this dish, which was very popular with the Western Empress Dowager, and made others very jealous and jealous. I don't know how much effort was made in secret, and I always wanted to make the eight-treasure rice better than Xiao Dai, but all my plans failed.

As the saying goes, colleagues are enemies, and Xiao Dai is inevitably assassinated. Slowly, the Western Empress heard a lot of bad words about Master Xiao. Some said that Xiao Dai's tableware was not hygienic enough, others said that Xiao Dai's materials were not natural, and some said that Xiao Dai did not treat the Queen Mother behind his back ...

Finally, Xiao Dai fell out of favor and was expelled from the Qing Dynasty and lived among the people. Xiao Dai, as a royal chef who was favored by Empress Dowager Cixi, certainly won't be banished willingly. In Jiangling, he happened to meet the owner of Jingzhou Juzhenyuan restaurant.

The two met as soon as they met, and the owner of Juzhen Garden made a public outcry for Xiao Shi, sincerely invited him and was willing to hire him with a large sum of money.

So Xiao Dai decided to make a fresh start in Jingzhou. He devoted himself to design and elaborate.

Soon, "Jingzhou Babao Rice" became very famous, and all famous people from far and near rushed to taste the famous chefs who had worked in the imperial kitchen.
