Tian Lei tofu is a delicious food, also known as Gaoping roasted tofu. This way of cooking tofu is a unique traditional food in Gaoping, which has a history of more than 2000 years. It is said that in the battle of Changping in 260 BC, because Zhao Kuo was defeated by Qin Jiang and Bai Qi, all 400,000 soldiers of Zhao were killed by Bai Qi. Because of Leitian's cruelty, everyone hates him, so he treats tofu as Leitian meat and cooks it with fire to vent his anger. I didn't expect people to feel fresh and attractive after eating it, so the cooking method of Gaoping tofu gradually spread in Gaoping.
