Legend has it that when Zhu Yuanzhang was herding cattle for the landlord, he accidentally let the cattle fall into the river. The landlord was angry and did not give Zhu Yuanzhang food for three consecutive days.
Zhu Yuanzhang was starving and rolled on the ground. Suddenly, a big mouse ran in front of him, and Zhu Yuanzhang followed the traces of the mouse, ready to catch a mouse to fill his stomach.
As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't catch the mouse, but found a mouse hole. He cautiously put his hand in, groped back and forth in the mouse hole with his hand, and took out some miscellaneous grains, including rice, red dates, red beans, etc., Zhu Yuanzhang was like a treasure. #Ancient Character Stories#
So, Zhu Yuanzhang cleaned these things and put them in a small pot to cook. Unexpectedly, it was actually boiled into a pot of glutinous and fragrant multigrain porridge. Zhu Yuanzhang ate it happily, only felt that it tasted sweet and delicious, and he still wanted to eat it.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne and became emperor, remembering the multigrain porridge he ate when he was poor and in need, so he instructed the imperial kitchen to boil a pot of porridge according to the method and distribute it to the ministers.
Zhu Yuanzhang said to the ministers, "This is the delicacy I found in the mouse hole when I was in trouble, I gave the landlord's cattle and didn't eat it." Now that we have won the world, we can't forget the days of hardship, I hope that you, like us, will always remember the hard days of not having enough to eat, and be able to do good things for the people conscientiously and share our worries. ”
Since the day when Zhu Yuanzhang ate multigrain porridge was the eighth day of the lunar month, people called multigrain porridge Laba porridge again.
Today, laba congee has become a household name. #美食#
