The dish is usually served in advance as a soup to moisten the throat and appetize the stomach, and has been loved by ordinary people for 800 years. In the Southern Song Dynasty, the northern people of Hangzhou used only a little minced meat, eggs and mushrooms to make inexpensive and delicious soups, which became a substitute for the northern hot pepper soup in their memories, and thus, West Lake beef soup is a very common household dish in the folk world.
