The legend of Fuzhou fish balls
In ancient times, there was a fisherman by the Minjiang River. One day, a businessman took his boat to the south to do business. The boat left the mouth of the Minjiang River and entered the sea. It was hit by a typhoon. When the ship entered the harbor to take shelter from the wind, it was unfortunately damaged on the rocks. The repair of the ship was delayed and the food was bad. Every day, fish are used as food. The businessman sighed, "There are fish every day, and the food is tasteless. Can you change your taste? " "The ship's grain has been cut off, only a bag of potato powder," said the boatwoman. The ingenious boatwoman peeled and pricked a big eel that she had just caught, chopped the fish, coated it with potato powder, made meatballs, and tasted them after cooking. Afterwards, the businessman returned to Fuzhou and opened a "seven-star snack bar" in the city, which specially hired the boat lady as a chef and exclusively operated "fish ball soup". At first, business was not good. One day, a son who went to Beijing to take an exam passed by this store for dinner. The shopkeeper warmly entertained and held out fish balls. After eating the food, I found it delicious, so I wrote a poem:

Little stars are scattered all over the floor, and jade is sweet and fragrant.

Although southern Xinjiang has been drinking for thousands of years, it is rare for seven stars to taste poetry and spleen.

The shopkeeper hung the poem on the floor of the shop and all the guests came to taste it. Since then, business has become more and more prosperous and shops have become more and more popular. "Seven Star Fish Pills" also got its name.
