According to legend, in December of the first year of Guangming reign of Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty (880), Huang Chao's rebel army attacked Luoyang, easily captured Tongguan and approached Chang'an.
Emperor Xizong and his ministers were helpless and wept. Prime Minister Lu Xie committed suicide out of fear.
Tian Lingzi led 500 Shence troops and hurriedly led Xizong and a few clan princes to flee the capital, first to Hanzhong and then to Chengdu, Sichuan.
After Xuanzong, Tang Xizong became another Tang emperor who fled to Sichuan.
At that time, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty lived in Qingyang Temple in Chengdu. Since the Taoist temple became a temporary palace, "guan" was renamed "palace". From then on, this Taoist temple had the reputation of "Qingyang Palace".
Emperor Xizong was fond of fun and delicious food, and he could not forget his palace delicacies even in this troubled place. He asked the chef to make palace pies for him. However, the escape was urgent that day and he would not have time to bring the imperial chef. The imperial kitchen was full of local chefs from Chengdu.
Although these Chengdu chefs have superb cooking skills, they are not familiar with the palace pies in the north. However, they are not ordinary people. They came up with a way: roll the dough into a very thin dough, cut it into small cubes, and stuff the meat with it.
Wrap it up, but as the emperor's royal meal, the wrapping method of dough should be very particular.
One of the chefs noticed that the emperor was looking at the scenery outside the temple with his hands folded in front of him. He had a beautiful posture and proposed a wrapping method of folding the dough in half into a diamond shape and folding the two corners forward, which was approved by everyone.
So I made this special shaped "pie".
When this "pie" was cooked and presented to Emperor Xizong, the emperor asked angrily: "What kind of pie is this? I have never seen it before!" The clever chef said: "This is an innovative Chengdu pie. We
When I saw the emperor copying his hands and watching the scenery, I imitated the emperor's copying techniques to wrap the stuffing, so this special pie made just for the emperor was called 'Long Chaoshou'."
When Emperor Xizong heard this, he became happy and tasted the first "Long Chao Shou" with chopsticks. He found it smooth, fragrant and delicious.
So the dragon devoured all the "dragon hand" offered to him and ordered him to eat the "dragon hand" every day in the future.
?Extended information: Wonton is mostly called wonton (also called Chaos) in the north. It is called wonton in some places in Shandong and wonton in Guangdong.
Wonton was originally a food used by the people for sacrifices.
Long Chao Shou is a restaurant in Chengdu, Sichuan, Mainland China, famous for its wontons.
The hand-made hand made by this shop has extremely thin and translucent skin and is very popular.
After the 1960s, Long Chaoshou moved to No. 6-8, South Section of Chunxi Road, Chengdu. It not only operated various varieties of Chaoshou, but also added various Chengdu snacks, etc., and developed into a large snack restaurant, attracting many tourists.
The founder of Long Chaoshou is Zhang Guangwu, who founded the store in Yuelaichang, Chengdu in 1941.
The word "dragon" was chosen because Zhang Guangwu borrowed the homophonic pronunciation of the word "strong" from "Nonghua Tea Garden" when he was planning to build the store.
In 1995, Long Chaoshou was awarded the title of "Chinese Time-honored Brand" by the People's Republic of China and the Ministry of Internal Trade.
