In 1828, Zhu Qingtian, whose ancestral home was hubei and "lived in the government and was honest and honest, and loved the people like a son", went to Taiwan to become a county commander. When the new official took office, he received one after another the local people beating drums and beating grievances over the strange cases that had plagued him for several years. However, when Lord Zhu personally went to the crime scene to investigate, the scene in front of him made him happy!
Zhu Qingtian, whose real name was Zhu Caizhe, was called "Zhu Qingtian" by the people because of his honesty and honesty. As soon as he arrived in Yilan County, Taiwan, there were many lawsuits filed by local rice farmers for the destruction of the field boundary. Under careful questioning, Zhu Caizhe found that the culprit was actually the "arch boundary worm" in the mouth of the people.

In order to find out, Zhu Caizhe personally went to the rice field to investigate, only to see countless fat and large insects scurrying away in the field.
"Isn't this an eel?" Zhu Caizhe was happy at once!
It turns out that the local climate is warm and the rainfall is abundant, so most of the people live on paddy fields. The eel, on the other hand, uses the field mound as a burrow, often arching the boundary between the two fields. The water of this family flowed to that house, and the fat of that family ran to this house. For the people, the things in the fields are big things.
Therefore, the two landlords have constant disputes, no one admits whose fault it is, and sometimes they will fight and go to court. Over time, more and more people have filed complaints, and none of them are directly responsible, all of which are cases made by the Arch Worm. As a result, these cases can only be closed.
Looking at the eels that were getting fatter every day in front of him, Zhu Caizhe's mind was a plate of delicious eel meat. In their hometown, eels are a delicacy! I didn't expect that the people here only thought that eels were big pests, and they never wanted to catch them and eat them! What a tyrannical thing!
Thinking like this, Zhu Caizhe had a plan in his heart. He smiled and groaned and said to the local people, "After three days, in the county court, all the parties must be present, and I hope that the villagers who care about handling the case can also come to observe!" ”
On that day, the crowded water outside the county gate was as lively as a temple fair. Everyone wants to see how the new parent official can settle this long-standing and difficult public case.
However, when the people came to the top of the court, they saw four large eight immortal tables full of fragrant delicacies, which made people dazzled and drooled. The onlookers were all confused, not knowing what kind of fame this Zhu Daren was doing.
At this time, Zhu Caizhe beckoned (ordered) everyone to come forward and taste the food. Who knows, just take one bite, you can't stop. The more you eat, the more fragrant it becomes, until the dish is clean, and the person who eats it is still not exhausted, licking his mouth and wiping his tongue.
After the delicious meal, Zhu Caizhe spoke in the public court. It turns out that these delicacies are all "arch insect feasts" made of the big pests in their mouths. In his hometown, this is called eel, not only delicious taste, high nutritional value, but also has a healthy spleen, stomach and stomach, liver protection, qi and qi, wind and other medicinal effects, is home travel, feast on relatives and friends one of the indispensable cuisine.
Speaking of this, the people understood that the real intention of Lord Zhu's big feast was to call on everyone to catch and eat the "arch worms", so that the culprit would not be successfully resolved.
Zhu Caizhe also patiently told them about various methods such as how to fry and fry the "Arch Worm". For a time, the local "insect catching fever" arose, and the famous "pimp eel" in Zhu Caizhe's hometown was also carried forward here, and to this day the locals also love this fish dish.
Leather eel is a traditional dish in the Jingsha area of Hubei Province, the method is: the eel is slaughtered and boneless, add salt, cooking wine, pepper and marinate for a while. Then fry the surface in a frying pan with starch and fry it again.
After that, the oil is boiled, the sweet and sour sauce is poured in, and the fried eel is put into the sweet and sour sauce and stir-fried.
The pimp eel is tender on the outside and tender on the inside, and the color is golden and bright. It is said that it was originally called "bamboo eel", but because a chef named "Pi Tiao" improved the dish to be more delicious and delicious, people changed the name to "Pimp Eel".
