Stuffed tofu became a famous dish, which is closely related to Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
When Zhu Yuanzhang was young, his family was very poor. One year Fengyang was hit by a catastrophe. Zhu Yuanzhang's parents and sister-in-law died of starvation. He became an orphan, and he became a monk in Huangjue Temple near his hometown. Once, Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't asked for something to eat for a few days. He moved his weak body forward step by step with a strong spirit, and finally moved to a restaurant, just about to open his mouth to beg, but his body never stopped. I couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the door of the restaurant. When the restaurant owner saw a young monk in a ragged robes lying at the door, he quickly helped him up. The restaurant owner was very kind, so he quickly brought a bowl of water and poured it slowly into Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth. As his throat squirmed up and down, Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes. The boss got up and brought the rice, and brought the stuffed tofu, the housekeeping dish of the shop. When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the food, he couldn't wait to swallow even the bowl. -The gust of wind swept the clouds, and Zhu Yuanzhang ate everything he brought. This meal was too timely for Zhu Yuanzhang. After leaving the restaurant thankfully, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was walking on the road, thought: Why is this stuffed tofu so delicious? There is probably nothing more delicious than stuffed tofu in the world. More than ten years later, Zhu Yuanzhang, who became the emperor, can naturally eat the delicacies of mountains and seas, but Fengyang's stuffed tofu is always unforgettable. Soon, he took the chef who made stuffed tofu in his hometown into the imperial dining room of the palace. After stuffed tofu became a tribute dish, his reputation became more and more popular.
