According to legend, during the reign of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the poet immortal Li Bai served in Hanlin, but he was not reused by the emperor. Li Bai pondered and meditated, and finally came up with a good way.
One day, Li Bai went to the market to buy a big fat duck, cooked it himself, imitated the cooking practices of the duck in his hometown, processed the duck, and then added rich seasonings such as aged Huadiao, wolfberry and Panax notoginseng, and presented it to Xuanzong after it was done.
Tang Xuanzong was originally an out-and-out foodie, and he was very happy to watch Shixian personally make ducks for himself to eat. Tang Xuanzong tasted it carefully, only to feel that the duck soup was fragrant and delicious, and the duck meat was tender and abnormal. He asked Li Bai curiously: "What is the soup offered by Aiqing?" #Celebrity food in the Tang Dynasty#
Li Bai replied: "The minister saw that His Majesty had a lot of opportunities and was worried that His Majesty would be tired, so he followed the practice of steaming duck in his hometown and added some supplements to relieve His Majesty's fatigue." ”
After hearing this, Tang Xuanzong was very happy and said with great interest: "This duck soup is extremely delicious, rare in the world, since you cooked it yourself, let's call it "Taibai Duck". ”
Although Li Bai won Xuanzong's temporary favor by offering duck soup, he was not reused by Tang Xuanzong in the end. So it didn't take long for Li Bai to leave Chang'an.
However, "Taibai Duck" is famous all over the world and has become one of the favorite delicacies of the people. #有关美食的故事#
