As a top foodie, Hong Qigong is very particular about food, which few people in Jin Yong's works can match.
Friends who like "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" must be familiar with the five dishes that Hong Qigong loved in his life. If you don't know, don't say you are a fan of the Condor Heroes.
The first dish: Yuanyang Five Delicatessen After Hong Qigong met Huang Rong, he had an oral taste. He ate so many delicious dishes made by Huang Rong in one go. Although he was full of praises, he still felt unsatisfied because there was one dish.
He always wanted to eat it but couldn't eat it. Unfortunately, even Huang Rong, who is a superb cook, can't make this dish. This is what Hong Qigong often talks about. He would rather die after eating it once.
The five treasures of Yuanyang are so delicious.
This dish came from the royal chef of the imperial palace and was a delicacy enjoyed by the emperor. The workmanship is very exquisite.
Later, Hong Qigong, who had lost all his martial arts skills, followed Guo Jing and broke into the palace. He finally got his wish and tasted this delicious dish.
The second dish: Good Qiu Soup. As the saying goes, "A gentle lady likes a good Qiu soup." This is the origin of "Good Qiu Soup".
In fact, Hong Qigong is definitely more than just a foodie. The so-called top foodie, Hong Qigong, is naturally worthy of this famous name.
As he said, every dish has its own specialties, just like a poet composing a moving poem, but every word has its source.
Integrating some allusions into a dish will make it taste more delicious.
The third dish: Beggar’s Chicken was a delicacy that Huang Rong once cooked for Hong Qigong.
Just by looking at the name of this dish, you will know that this beggar's chicken has a long connection with the Beggar Clan. Friends who like shooting condors also know that Hong Qigong often calls himself "Old Beggar".
This beggar's chicken is also very famous. It is still a famous food in some places today, and some stores even directly quote Hong Qigong's name.
Therefore, this dish should be extremely famous.
The fame of a dish mostly comes from the allusions behind it and its unique taste.
If a dish is not enough to conquer one's taste buds, then how can it be famous?
The fourth dish: Twenty-Four Bridges on a Bright Moon Night "Twenty-Four Bridges on a Bright Moon Night" is originally from a poem by Du Mu. You can tell how good this dish is by looking at the poetic name of the dish.
Mencius once said that gluttony is also human nature, let alone facing a delicacy with such a good reputation?
As a top foodie, Hong Qigong found it even more difficult to control himself when he saw such a delicious dish.
It was precisely because of this dish that Hong Qigong was conquered and finally agreed to accept Guo Jing as his disciple.
Therefore, this dish is also of special significance to Guo Jing's life.
Don’t you know that this poetic dish requires a lot of effort? When Huang Rong was making this dish, she naturally also included her love for Guo Jing, right?
The fifth dish: Fried Centipede This dish comes from The Legend of the Condor Heroes. Yang Guo meets Hong Qigong, and Hong Qigong invites Yang Guo to eat centipedes.
That was the first time Yang Guo met Hong Qigong, and they only met once. Hong Qigong died in the fight with Ouyang Feng.
The meeting between Hong Qigong and Yang Guo was considered a very important encounter in Yang Guo's life. After all, Yang Guo's mother Mu Nianci had received guidance from Hong Qigong.
