Not only delicious, but also the auspicious dish that Shaoxing people do not abandon in their minds, which means reunion, consummation and auspiciousness, whether it is a "red and white" wedding banquet, or a reunion dinner for the New Year's Festival, it is inseparable from the big dish of fish balls. The birth of the fish ball condenses the price of life. According to legend, in 210 BC, Qin Shi Huang made a tour of the Eastern Tour to worship Yu, go up to Ji Mountain, and sacrifice Dayu. This east tour tasted the delicacies and local flavors of the greater yue, and the river freshness of the yuedi made him feel delicious, but the fly in the ointment was that the shrimp were shelly and the fish were thorny. Qin Shi Huang liked to eat fish, but he was also afraid of fish thorns, which made the officials feel exhausted and racked their brains, and it was difficult to get anything. In desperation, the chef was ordered to cook a thornless fish dish, and several chefs failed and lost their lives. One day, it was the turn of the chef surnamed Zhang, knowing that his life was not safe, in the midst of grief and indignation, he chopped the fish to pieces, stirred it with salt and water, and made it into a soup, which was dedicated to the First Emperor, and in sincere fear, waiting for the judgment of fate. Unexpectedly, after qin shi huang pin, he felt novel and delicious, and suddenly the dragon face was greatly pleased, and the chef surnamed Zhang not only saved his life, but also received a reward, and everyone was very happy. Since then, it has been passed down to the world and improved into fish balls.
