Zhu Gekongming is a well-known historical celebrity, so many folk delicacies are attached to him to increase his popularity. The most famous story should be the origin of steamed bread. Song Gaocheng's "Things Jiyuan, Liquor, Diet, Steamed Bread": "The official novel cloud: Zhuge Wuhou's levy Meng Huo, people say:' There are many witchcraft in the wild, so you must pray to God, and the fake Yin soldiers will help you. However, if you are vulgar, you will kill people. If you sacrifice it first, God will send troops to it. " The marquis of Wu refused to obey, because he mixed the meat of the sheep's dog, but wrapped it in noodles, like a human head and a shrine. God also wants to send troops. Later generations became steamed bread.

This steamed bread should be called steamed stuffed bun in modern times, because it has meat stuffing.

There is also the Guo Kui of Bowang, Henan Province. Legend has it that in the Three Kingdoms period, after Liu Bei burned Bowang, Nanyang Fangcheng, he left Guan Yu to guard it. It was a drought and water shortage, and the soldiers were hungry and thirsty. Guan Yu wrote to Zhuge Liang to beg for his withdrawal. Zhuge Liang wrote back to Guan Yu, asking him to stick to it, and taught him to "use dry noodles, mix less water, mix with lumps, make a pot of kang, and eat as a helmet", so as to "make the soldiers feel better". This product is as big as a shield, as thick as a wine bottle, and it smells delicious. Since then, Bowang Guokui has been named for thousands of years. Up to now, people still make it according to Kong Ming's wonderful method.

The pancakes that are often eaten in the morning in modern north are said to have been invented by Zhu Gekongming. When Zhuge Liang assisted Liu Bei at the beginning, he was outnumbered, and was often chased by Cao Bing. He was once surrounded by yi river and Su River, and the pots and pans were completely lost, but the soldiers were hungry and sleepy, and they could not cook. Zhuge Liang asked the cooks to use water and flour as pulp, set the gold (copper) on fire, spread the rice paste with a wooden stick, and fried delicious pancakes, which greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers after eating. Since then, pancakes have spread in Yimeng, which can be regarded as Zhuge Liang's contribution to his hometown Linyi.

There is also Zhuge grilled fish, which is directly named after Zhuge. At that time, Zhuge Liang, who lived in seclusion in Langya County, loved to eat grilled fish. The materials and practices of this kind of grilled fish were different from ordinary grilled fish, which was unique. Every time Zhuge Liang prepares a family dinner, he often invites several friends to taste delicious grilled fish. Later, Zhuge Liang left Longzhong to assist Liu Bei in farmland; A year later, he made a special trip to invite several friends to taste delicious grilled fish, and sent someone to take care of the famous chef who made grilled fish. After Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu, Zhuge Liang recommended him to the palace as a royal chef. This kind of grilled fish is not only eaten by Zhuge Liang, but also enjoyed by Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others, and has become an indispensable food at the royal banquet. After Zhuge Liang's death, some people renamed this stunt grilled fish "Zhuge grilled fish".

According to the above statements, Zhuge Liang really deserves to be a gourmet of the Three Kingdoms. Although all the above may not have been invented by Zhuge Liang, if we can carry forward and inherit Chinese food culture in the name of Zhuge Prime Minister, we will not be ashamed of Zhuge Prime Minister's name.
