In the past, farmers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang held funerals at home, and some people were asked to help move a body from home to the cemetery for burial. When it's time to eat, the host will set some tables in the yard or on the open space in front of the door and bring the food to the villagers who help. But at this time, there will be some idle people sitting at the table, and no one will help to eat. Even if the owner finds out, it is not convenient to drive away. Funeral meals are relatively simple, mainly tofu, and white is the main color of funeral. Some villagers went to help, saying that they went to the funeral home to help, saying that they went to eat tofu rice. For the guy who doesn't work and eat rice, he is also said to eat tofu. This is probably the root of the word "eating tofu". This humorous and ironic new word began to spread in Shanghai in the 1930s. It is typical and common in life that some men love to flirt with women and even take advantage of them, so they are called "eating tofu". That is, the so-called "all hands take advantage of others" in the article "Eat Tofu" is also true.

According to legend, thousands of years ago, there was a fierce beetle with eight legs and two claws in the rivers and lakes. Not only stealing rice, but also catching people with claws, so it is called "catching people and insects". Later, Dayu went to the south of the Yangtze River to control water and sent a strong man, Plo, to supervise the work, which seriously hindered the project. The PLO figured out a way to dig a trench around the city and fill it with boiling water. People and bugs came, fell into the ditch and burned to death. The scalded insects were flushed red and gave off an attractive fragrance. The plo cracked its shell curiously, and the smell became stronger. I got the nerve to take a bite, but it tasted delicious, better than anything else, so fear of pests became a household name. In order to thank Plough for being the first in the world, we added the word "worm" under the word "Xie", which means that Plough conquered the worm and was the first person to eat crabs in the world.
