One day, a certain chef made a royal meal, and when he saw that the fish was timid and fierce, he used a kitchen knife to smash the fish on the back to vent. After two clicks, smashing and smashing, he was surprised to find that the fish bones of the fish bones were automatically exposed, and the flesh of the fish became fish mushrooms. At this moment, the palace passed the meal, the chef was in a hurry, picked out the fish bones, and conveniently kneaded the fish mushrooms into balls, and without thinking, he threw them into the boiling leopard fetal soup and turned them into balls. After a while, one by one, the white color, soft and crystalline, and the tender fish balls floated on the soup noodles and were presented to Qin Shi Huang. When the First Emperor tasted it, he praised it so much that he ordered a reward. Later, this practice gradually spread from the court to the folk, which is the origin of fish balls.
