As we all know, there are many legends of Qianlong and food in the folklore, and we all know that he is a veritable king of food. In fact, there is also a food king, commonly known as "foodie", this person is the Zhu Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang, who loves mischief and invites the minister to make "pearl emerald white jade soup" for dinner. The legend that Zhu Yuanzhang loves to eat pig's trotters has been expressed, and today I will talk about the legend of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhengzhou roast duck.
Some storylines have to be repeated. It still dates back to the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when Zhu Yuanzhang was a teenager. At that time, there was a great drought in the world, thousands of miles in the red land, plague was prevalent, and locust plagues were swarming. Crops have been harvested and there have been countless hungry people. After their parents starved to death, their siblings were separated. Zhu Yuanzhang asked for food all the way and came to Guancheng County. He went to Donglin Temple in Xingyang and became a monk. To this day, jiayu town still has the legend of Zhu Yuanzhang's monastic family. In fact, before Zhu Yuanzhang left home, he also worked as a cattle herder for the landlord on the shore of Donglin Lake. Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang also sent ducks by Donglin Lake. Speaking of which, don't believe it. Jiayu Town still has the legend that Zhu Yuanzhang gave people cattle herding dolls.
When Zhu Yuanzhang herded cattle for others, he had not yet joined the rebel army, let alone become a disciple of the Ming Sect. He is also a "red seedling" child of a "red seedling" of the "old society of all evils". On this day, Zhu Yuanzhang and a few children went out to herd cattle together. Originally, children can't do anything, they can't eat idle meals at home, they always have to find some support to do. Even so, I often get so hungry that my eyes are dizzy. Even the strength to curse The Heavens was gone.
Once, Zhu Yuanzhang fainted from hunger while herding cattle, only to see a seller selling burnt cakes, and suddenly gave three oil-braised flatbreads! Zhu Yuanzhang ate and wanted to eat, and when he woke up, it turned out to be a dream, and he went to his grandmother's! Later, Zhu Yuanzhang stole the eggplant from the landlord's family, ate or was hungry, returned to the landlord's house, saw that the people in the kitchen who had left the pot of water had not been poured out, Zhu Yuanzhang drank a fine light! Alas, the more you talk about it, the farther it goes.
One day, Zhu Yuanzhang gave the landlord Wang Lao a good cattle herding, and there were several other "fellow party members." Zhu Yuanzhang let it go, grunting in his stomach. The stomach and intestines have nothing to digest, a strong entanglement, stalking.
Several other dolls once played the game of being emperor with Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang had already become the supreme emperor in their hearts. There was a doll who said, Emperor I am hungry! Another doll also said, I am hungry too! Everyone says I'm hungry too! If the emperor wants to become a good emperor, he must do everything possible to solve the problem of food and clothing for his people.
Zhu Yuanzhang had already developed a character of not being afraid of heaven in a difficult environment. He looked, wanted to come, and his eyes fell on the cattle that grazed. Hey, if only I were a cow too, and the "aiqing" were all cows. It's good to be a cow, and you can eat grass if you don't have food. When the emperor is hard, he can't just "brag", we have to... There was a thought that flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind!
Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Aiqing, do you want to eat meat?" ”
A child shouted, "Dogs don't want to eat meat!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Can you finish eating this cow in front of you?" ”
When a few children heard this, they were frightened and said, "This is the cow of the big landlord king's good family!" Aren't you afraid? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: Afraid, afraid, afraid, I am afraid that you will the girl! ”
As a result, the cow of Wang Laohao's family was slaughtered by Zhu Yuanzhang. Several dolls worked together, carried the cow to the side of Donglin Lake, stripped the cow and washed it and roasted it. The aroma drifted far away. That's the beef of Dog Day, which you have to pay a lot of money to buy now!
Zhu Yuanzhang and a few dolls said while eating: "When will you take something and make a pilgrimage to the emperor?" ”
A doll rushed and said, "I'll invite you to roast duck another day!" "It's just a lack of confidence.
Speaking of which, the "old bubbles" are no longer stunned, "roast duck" is waiting for you here!
"Is this true?" Don't say that Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't believe it, and whoever he says it to, no one will believe it!
The child said, "Whoever speaks nonsense should forget the eight when he dies, and when he dies, he still carries a monument!" ”
Just saying, Wang Laohao came to "check the gang" to pass by, which is called surveillance, in fact, he was attracted by the smell of meat. But when it comes to the front, don't talk about beef, and the cow bones are gone.
Elder Wang was anxious: "Cow! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang and a few dolls came to the edge of a hilly mound, pointed to the tail of the cow that had been inserted in advance, and said: "The cow drills inside, and it can't come out!" ”
Wang Laohao looked at the ox's tail, and his pupils dilated and shrunk several times. Zhu Yuanzhang took a look, only to see Wang rush over and drag the oxtail, fall backwards on his back, and almost fall to his death.
In the end, it is conceivable that Zhu Yuanzhang was beaten by Wang Laohao. They were also driven out of the landlord's manor. This further strengthened Zhu Yuanzhang's class stand of "bitterness and great enmity."
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't let go of the cattle, so his life couldn't go on. If you can't go on, you can't mix it up, and when a monk hits a day's clock, the days are not yet over. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang really worked as a bell-striking monk in Xingyang Donglin Temple for a few days. During this period, Zhu Yuanzhang let go of ducks in Donglin Lake.
Zhu Yuanzhang became a monk at Donglin Temple, and the abbot saw that he was young and heard him say that he had once herded cattle. So he said to Zhu Yuanzhang, there is a group of ducks in the temple, and you should go to Donglin Lake every day to release ducks.
Zhu Yuanzhang listened, this work is really not bad! So I went. Once, Zhu Yuanzhang found that the ducks he had driven were two or three less. If he rushed back, the abbot would not pursue him, and the other monks in charge would still be able to spare him. Looking around, I smelled a fragrance. Following the aroma, I came to a ditch and found a few little farts roasting ducks! Zhu Yuanzhang immediately understood.
His favorite dish, though, is roast duck. Look at the guy who made the roast duck, I don't know where to get the condiments, the whole duck is really like that. The guy said that the roast duck is baked over a charcoal fire, which can be made into a dish and the duck can eat crispy, fat but not greasy. If you use the water of Donglin Lake when making it, the roasted duck is more thin-skinned and tender, and the taste is better. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the roasted duck, and the corners of his mouth immediately hung with harrahs. While eating, he couldn't help but marvel: "Zhengzhou roast duck is indeed worthy of the name!" In the future, it will definitely be passed down for hundreds of generations, and the list of famous dishes in the city will be managed! ”
The little fart children saw the emperor coming, and quickly asked the "emperor" for a reward. Zhu Yuanzhang tore the ducks to eat them, that is to say, Zhu Yuanzhang also forgave the dolls.
Originally, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who first proposed that the ministers make roast duck to honor the "emperor". After the roast duck was eaten, everyone was worried, how did Zhu Yuanzhang return to the temple and explain to the monk in charge of the temple? Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Donglin Lake, his eyes rolled, and he really had an idea. Zhu Yuanzhang drove the wild ducks roosting by the lake back to the temple. The monk in charge looked at it and had no problem. As for the next day, the wild ducks flew away. The monk in charge of the matter wanted to break his head and did not understand what was going on inside.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang could not even become a monk. Also vulgar later, and a few other dolls. Maybe these dolls are called Liu Bowen, Xu Da, Hu Dahai, Guo Ying, and Chang Yuchun. First joined the rebel army, then joined the Ming Sect, using the name of Zhang What, to become the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly came to the world and his identity was prominent.
Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor and enjoyed endless glory and wealth every day, and he could not eat endless delicacies. That is to say, eat all the geese in the mountains and beasts, and the cattle and sheep on land are fresh on the seabed. But Zhu Yuanzhang still misses the mountains and rivers, grasses and trees, songs and songs in his childhood. Especially the one who once made him remember, is not the little ninth sister when he was a teenager, nor the little ajiao in his youth, but the Zhengzhou roast duck, roast duck Ah kiss!
Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang could not eat the "Guancheng Roast Duck" of that year, that day when he used to mix together, he once joined the rebel army together, also joined the Ming Sect, and became the founding father, but unfortunately the mistake was to mix with his buddies when he was a child. Zhu Yuanzhang caught a mistake, made an excuse to be precise, and slaughtered it. So I can't eat it. Even if the Imperial Dining Room launched the "God Eater Competition", it would be difficult to satisfy Zhu Yuanzhang's once unforgettable appetite. He relied on himself to be the emperor and forced the chefs to make roast duck. A few palm spoons are difficult, where is that recipe, do, do, do, let your sister, let your great aunt do it. Complain and complain, you can't always do without your head, just make roast duck for the emperor, and change the law day by day.
It was in this way that after Zhu Yuanzhang established the capital of Nanjing, the imperial chef of the Ming Palace used the thick and succulent lake duck of Nanjing to make dishes. In order to increase the flavor of the duck dish, the chef uses charcoal to bake, and after the dish, the duck eats crispy, fat but not greasy, and is praised by people. After the Ming Dynasty moved the capital to Beijing, Nanjing roast duck developed into Beijing roast duck. Speaking of Zhengzhou roast duck, the material is selected from Beijing to fill the duck. The roast duck made of it has a beautiful appearance, ruddy and shiny oil, with the characteristics of crispy outside and tender on the inside, fat but not greasy, and delicious taste. Zhengzhou roast duck is completely process improvement, technology improvement. As for the legendary story of Zhu Yuanzhang eating roast duck on the shore of Donglin Lake, it is not known by many Chinese people.
