Behind every dish name, there is an intriguing story.

Whether it's folk unofficial history or myths and legends.

Let's taste a delicious food and explore the story behind it.

There is a well-known snack in Sichuan called "Dragon wonton soup", but now people are used to omitting the previous word and calling it "wonton soup".

But there are many friends from the north who will find out after coming to Sichuan:

"Hey? Isn't this similar to our wonton in the north? Why is it called copying hands? "

Friends from the south will also ask the same question:

Isn't this the same as wonton in the south!

Why is it called differently? Why is it called "dragon" wonton soup?

Everyone will understand after reading the following story.

According to legend, after the "An Shi Rebellion" broke out in the Tang Dynasty, in order to avoid the chaos, Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty chose to come to Sichuan, a "land of abundance" with fertile land.

At that time, the emperor chose Tianhui Town in Chengdu as his temporary residence.

It is estimated that many people can't adapt to the huge differences in life and eating habits when a person comes to a distant hometown from his own country, and the emperor can't avoid customs.

The emperor wants to eat pancakes from the north, but Sichuan chefs can't cook them! I had to make the dough thin as I was told, and then I made the meat stuffing, but how to wrap it became a difficult problem.

So the chef secretly went to see what kind of person the emperor was and whether he would kill himself because he couldn't do it.

At this time, he saw that the emperor was copying his hands to see the scenery. He had a brainwave and went back to cut the dough into squares, put the meat in the middle, folded the two corners in half, copied the other two corners together like the emperor's hands, and served them as soon as the pot was cooked.

When the emperor saw some unhappiness, he asked what it was.

The chef replied with trepidation, "This is a dragon copy. Your majesty, if you copy it, the world will be peaceful!" "

As soon as the emperor heard how happy he was, he began to eat, and the taste was very good. So I remembered this snack.

After returning to Chang 'an after avoiding chaos, the emperor still wanted to eat, but the chefs in the north couldn't do it again.

Gao Lishi scolded the chef: "Bastard!" Then tell the chef what to do.

The chef was so angry that he muttered as he cooked, "Assholes are assholes, so this dish is simply called Assholes." However, when the snack spread to the common people, it was called "wonton" because it could not be associated with the snack. So it is called "wonton" in the north.

Later, it spread to the south, and because of the great differences in accent and region, the name became "Wonton".

The above is the story of dragon wonton soup! When you see the picture, you will find that these three snacks are really similar, but there are still some subtle differences.
