Historical allusions (details)

Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, grew up in a poor family and suffered from hunger and clothing all the year round. A year of drought, naked land thousands of miles. In order to survive, my father sent Zhu Yuanzhang to the temple to become a monk, so as to make a living and save his life. Who knows that the monks in the temple are hierarchical, and the young Zhu Yuanzhang is hungry besides working, so he has to make a living outside the temple. What is the cause of the disaster year? For three days in a row, the rice did not enter, and Zhu Yuanzhang was so hungry that he even struggled to walk, and his eyes flew golden flowers. Just as a rich man was celebrating, the old chef saw Zhu Yuanzhang thin and lonely, starving to death. Seeing that the host was away, she quickly poured the leftovers, vegetables and tofu from the bowl and plate into the pot and warmed them for Zhu Yuanzhang to eat. After Zhu Yuanzhang wolfed down for a while, there was still a delicious aftertaste on his tongue and lips, which was endless. What is the old woman's dish? The old chef replied: "Pearl jade white jade soup" (pearl is rice grain, jade is green leaf, white jade is tofu block). After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he often missed the wonderful taste of the "pearl white jade soup" made by the old woman, so he invited the old woman to Beijing to make "pearl white jade soup" for him. After Zhu Yuanzhang ate it, he felt bland and not as delicious and refreshing as before. He asked, "Why is the soup made by her mother-in-law not as delicious as before?" My mother-in-law smiled and said, "Hungry people eat delicious food. Now that you are the monarch, you can eat all the delicious food in the world. That soup is just ordinary people's home cooking. How can we achieve the taste of imperial cuisine? " Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized. In order not to forget the sufferings of the past and the kindness of the people, Zhu Yuanzhang asked the chef to make him a "Zhuyu Baiyu Soup". This dish has been handed down to this day.
