history
The history of Steamed Brown in Zhaoqing is also relatively long, and it is said that there was a prototype of Steamed Brown in the Qin Dynasty. At that time, Qin Shi Huang was in power, and we all know that Qin Shi Huang was a relatively brutal emperor, so at that time, the people had a lot of hard labor, and the people were unspeakable. At that time, the people in Zhaoqing were busy with farm work in the fields, in order to save some time to go home to eat, so they had to choose to bring some dry food out of the house, but the general dry food is steamed bread and flatbread, and the work requires a lot of physical strength, so the nutritional needs are completely unable to keep up. But if you bring a meal, the meal has become sloppy from morning to noon or evening, especially in the summer heat. Therefore, the industrious and wise people of Zhaoqing came up with the idea of wrapping rice in bamboo leaves and cooking it and bringing it to the field as dry food, because with the bamboo leaf wrapping, the rice inside is not so easy to break, which is the earliest steamed brown.
