How did the West Lake vinegar fish come from
Legend has it that in ancient times, there were two brothers surnamed Song, full of articles and very learned, who lived in seclusion in the West Lake to make a living by fishing. The local villain Zhao Daguan once went swimming in the lake, and on the way, he met a woman who was wearing a yarn by the lake, and when he saw its beautiful appearance, he wanted to occupy it. As soon as someone inquired, it turned out that this woman was Brother Song's wife, so he used conspiracy means to kill Brother Song. The infringement of the evil forces made the Uncle and Sister-in-law of the Song family very angry, and the two of them went to the government office together to file a complaint, hoping to show their righteousness and punish the villains. They did not know that the government at that time was out of the air with the evil forces, and instead of accepting their accusations, they beat them with a stick and drove them out of the official palace.
After returning home, Sister-in-law Song asked Brother Song to quickly pack up and flee, so as not to avoid the villains from following him and coming to take revenge. Before leaving, my sister-in-law cooked a bowl of fish, added sugar and vinegar, and cooked it in a strange way. Brother Song asked his sister-in-law: How did the fish burn like this today? Sister-in-law said: Fish have sweet and sour, I want you to go out this time, don't forget how your brother died, if your life is sweet, don't forget the bitterness of the people being bullied, don't forget the bitterness of your sister-in-law's drinking and hatred. The younger brother was very excited to hear this, ate the fish, and remembered his sister-in-law's intentions. Later, Brother Song decided to study hard and gain fame outside, returned to Hangzhou to avenge the killing of his brother, and punished the villain. But at this time, Sister-in-law Song had already escaped and had not been able to find it. Once, When Brother Song went out to a banquet, he ate a dish during the banquet, and the taste was what his sister-in-law burned when he left home, and he quickly asked who burned it, only to learn that it was his sister-in-law's masterpiece. It turned out that after he left, the sister-in-law avoided the villains to pester, hid her name, and hid in the official's house to work as a cook. Song Di was very happy to find his sister-in-law, so he resigned his official position, took his sister-in-law back home, and resumed the life of a fisherman who made a living by fishing.
Later, someone ate this dish, and the poem flourished, and wrote a poem on the wall of the restaurant: "The skirt and the sandals are drunk, and the green sun shadows go upstairs; How many lake boats are in front of the door, half from the three pools of the moon back. Why return to Zhang Han perch (the vinegar fish in the West Lake is better than the delicious Songjiang sea bass), the fish flavor says west Lake; Qijun had this conciliatory hand, and he knew that Song Concubine wu did not have it. The last sentence of the poem refers to the legend of the "Vinegar Fish of the West Lake".
