After the founding of the country, Liu Bang killed many ministers, and Han Xin, Yingbu, Peng Yue, and other generals who followed him around in the battle were killed one by one. Of course, there were also many heroes left in the founding of the country, one of whom was almost killed, and later his descendants no longer became officials. Because Fan Duo left a secret recipe for future generations, his 77th generation descendants have become the general manager of a company, earning three billion yuan a year.
Fan Was born in 242 BC, and he was one of the first to follow Liu Bang in the army. Fan Duo has been following Liu Bang around in battles, and his most famous deed should be at the Hongmen Banquet, because Liu Bang entered Guanzhong first, which caused Xiang Yu's dissatisfaction, so he held the Hongmen Banquet under Fan Zeng's design. This banquet was actually an assassination, but Liu Bang had to go, and Fan Duo, who was guarding Liu Bang's safety, also followed.
At that time, Fan Duo was originally at the door, and later Fan Zeng asked Xiang Zhuang to draw his sword and pretend to dance, in fact, he assassinated Liu Bang. Zhang Liang sat inside, and after noticing that something was wrong, he went to the door to discuss with Fan Duo. Fan Duo was a rough man, so he rushed straight in, and after entering, he stared at Xiang Yu, and out of courage Xiang Yu was more interested in him, and also rewarded him with wine and uncooked pork legs. Fan Huan didn't care either, and pulled out his sword and cut the pork to eat. He also bluntly told Xiang Yu that whoever had agreed to enter the customs first was the King of Guanzhong, and now that the King had arrived, he would suspect Pei Gong. From this, it can be seen that Fan Duo is a person who is serious about righteousness and courage.
Later, Fan Huan married Lü Hou's sister Lü Wei, and he and the emperor became in-law, but at the same time he was also tied to the Lü family. In 195 BC, the King of Yan rebelled, and Liu Bang himself was ill and sent Fan Huan to quell it. But at this time, someone told Liu Bang that Fan Duo had already colluded with Lü Hou, and the emperor should be wary. Liu Bang really listened to this man's words and sent Chen Ping to take Fan's head.
However, Chen Ping was aware of current affairs, and he understood that Fan Duo had fought with Liu Bang very early on, and was still Lü Hou's brother-in-law. In the future, Liu Bang and Lü Hou would not let him go, so they discussed with Zhou Bo not to kill Fan Duo first, and it was not too late to suppress him to the capital and kill him again. Chen Ping's move saved himself, because Liu Bang soon fell ill and died, and Lü Hou took power. Fan Yu lived well in this way, and Lü Hou also restored his title.
It was only when it came to his grandson Fan Taguang that there were rumors that Fan Taguang was not Fan's family. The emperor came and went and revoked his throne in the sixth year of the Han Jing Emperor (144 BC). Since then, he has left a last word to posterity to only do business and not to be an official. The secret recipe left by Fan Duo was the secret recipe obtained in the early years when there was no rebellion, and this secret recipe also has a legendary story. At that time, Fan Duo was still just a person who ran a dog meat business, and Liu Bang liked his dog meat very much, but Liu Bang was a scoundrel in the early stage, and he ate and didn't pay.
Fan Duo was not happy to let him eat it, but things could not be done, so she tried her best to avoid him. Once Fan Duo went to the Surabaya River to do business, Liu Bang was anxious to find Fan Duo, but he did not have money, so he directly shouted at the river that I am Liu Bang, I want to cross the river. Then a turtle said to be the size of a table came out to drive Liu Bang, and Liu Bang successfully found Fan Duo. After Fan Duo knew the reason, he thought of a way, he went to the river with a rope and a knife the next day, and also said that he was Liu Bang to the river, and after the turtle came out, Fan Duo put a rope on it.
After catching it, he killed this somewhat magical turtle and boiled it with his dog meat. It is said that on that day, his business was surprisingly good, so he left this soup behind, dried it with the soil in a special way, and it is said that this is the ancestral secret recipe of their family. When Fan Xiantao, the 77th generation descendant of Fan Xiantao, fan Xiantao still used this secret recipe to do business.
Fan Xiantao's Peixian Fan Duo Dog Meat Company is already relatively large, Fan Xiantao's secret recipe is called Peixian Shrew Sauce Dog Meat, and in 2009 it was selected into the list of intangible cultural heritage in Jiangsu Province. It is precisely because of the protection of the ancestors of the Fan family that the secret has been preserved, and now Fan Xiantao can be said to make 3 billion yuan a year by relying on this secret recipe. However, this matter also caused a dispute in the past few years, fan Xiantao gave the attitude of protecting pet dogs, not killing working dogs, and only eating meat dogs.
