"Purple case delicacies, silver cup of green tea, golden bottle of nectar, jade plate cucumber." Since then, courgettes have been called cucumbers. About it
Cucumbers are the vegetables we often eat in our daily lives, if you tell you that cucumbers alone can make a table of dishes, do you believe it?
When I first heard the "cucumber feast", I was shocked to learn that the cucumber feast was divided into twenty dishes, eight cold spells, and 12 hot stir-fry. Just a few cucumbers can be made into a table dish? This reminds me of "homophone", that is, the Chinese characters in the whole article are only allowed to use the same sound, four sounds are not limited, punctuation is not limited to a style. "Homophone" reads as if people understand it, but they have to lament the author's ingenious conception and the magic of the writing. Eating a cucumber feast, I have to sigh at the chef's endless creativity and skill!
Cucumber feast is a famous han traditional dish in Shijiazhuang. Created by the chef of Yanchun Hotel, based on a historical legend.
According to legend, Shi Le, a member of the Qi people, established the Later Zhao Dynasty in the xingtai area of present-day Hebei, because the Han people called the ethnic minorities at that time Hu people, so the cucumbers that were transmitted from the western region to the local area were also called "hu melons", because "Hu" had a contemptuous meaning at that time, so Shi Le forbade the use of the word "Hu". Once, when Shi Le tested his Han official Fan Tan, he pointed to the courgette dish in the middle of the table and said, "Qing Know what is the name of this thing?" Fan Tan replied, "Purple case delicacies, silver cup green tea, golden bottle of nectar, jade plate cucumber." "Since then, the courgette has been called a cucumber.
