If the proposition that the sewer is the conscience of the city is true, "the water saves the people" and "the water is the savior of the people" also makes sense.

The earliest sewage is a description of the scene, Du Fu has a poem that says: "Jijiangyuan is self-expansive, and the water is not laborious", which is the same as the use of sewers. In China, where the people take food as the sky, I don't know when the water has become synonymous with internal organs, and the more violent name is "offal". In Stephen Chow's movie "God Eater", there is a description of a bowl of miscellaneous noodles. When the male protagonist fell, he was ridiculed by his opponent that "you are not even qualified to sell chopped noodles on the street"; in order to eat the "Overlord Meal", the male protagonist constantly pricked the miscellaneous noodles, and even said that there was shit inside.

Cantonese people have a special love for offal, it is said that some specialize in miscellaneous food, but also pay attention to a fresh, with hot processing to eat delicious. Guangdong, which dares to eat anything, frightens many people, and it is estimated that this is the reason that Chongqing and Beijing have a great reputation in the lower water industry.

When eating Sichuan and Chongqing hot pot, many people like to order a plate of hairy belly and duck intestines. In the early years of Sichuan-Chongqing hot pot, there was also an alias for Mao belly hot pot. It is said that on the banks of the Jialing River in Chongqing in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, chaotianmen wharf was a place where Muslims slaughtered cattle. Muslims only need meat, bone, and skin, not internal organs. This cheapened the sailors and porters on the shore, thinking about how to eat in line with the principle of making the best use of their resources and not wasting. In view of the heavy smell of internal organs, after washing, add pepper, pepper, ginger, garlic, salt and other spices to remove the fishy. These groups are heavy manual laborers, and "not tired of eating" is not useful, so they are mixed together and cooked and eaten. After a long time, the spicy Sichuan-Chongqing hot pot takes shape.

Although Beijing is the foot of Tianzi, there are also some poor people, and the famous brine boiling fire is also the crystallization of the poor joy of the common people. Legend has it that during the Guangxu period, there was a famous dish in Beijing called Suzao Meat (also known as SuZao Meat), and the main ingredient was pork belly. "Su made fat and full of old proverbs, and burned the soup stained meat to embed." Even though the gluttony is greasy, a paste is already full of oil. For the people, pork belly is somewhat expensive, pig head meat and pig water is cheap, just use them as "stand-ins", over time, it will become a brine and fire. In addition to the fire, the main ingredient of the brine boiling fire is now pig intestines and pig lungs, and they are all singing the protagonists in the water anyway.

In addition to this famous north-south twin, Yunnan also has some fame in this regard. Many places in Yunnan love to eat "", that is, lamb stew in a pot, if there is no water in it, it is simply a fraud. In the Bai family of Dali, Yunnan, on every red and white celebration, in the simple meal before the banquet, you will see a "sewing dish". Pork lung is usually stewed and boiled with green sheep soup pot dishes and vermicelli, which is a meat and vegetarian dish. It's a very important thing for farmers to entertain, usually to kill their own pigs and use the water well – this is my guess about the origin of this dish.

The launch is a microcosm, reflecting the economical means of the people. Many famous dishes that have been handed down, the original head is a pity, or cheap. Jumping out of this circle, even thinking it is great wisdom - what is more powerful than good and not expensive? As the movie "God Eater" says, there is no god of food in the world, or everyone is a god of food. Or, as Chairman Mao said, the people, the people, and only the people are the driving force behind the creation of world history. The sewage saves the people from hunger and cold, and the people give the sewage a greater value.
