Braised pig's feet are also called "Wanshan pig's feet." There is a legend about the origin of "Wanshan pig's feet." However, the local processed pig's trotter is very hard, and it can only be eaten if it is cut with a knife. Knives and sharp weapons cannot be used in front of the emperor. Shen Wanshan figured out a way to take the finished pig's knuckles home, and simmer it with a low fire until the meat is very soft. Just a light touch can separate it. Because Shen Wanshan's money was much more than that of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately wanted to harm Shen Wanshan and Zhu Yuanzhang asked Shen Wanshan to invite the emperor to eat. Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly pointed at the pig's feet and said to him: "What kind of dish is this? If Shen Wanshan's answer is "pig's feet", "pig" and "Zhu" are homophonic, isn't it just eating the emperor's feet? It must offend the emperor, the emperor. It is not impossible to condemn him to death! At this time, Shen Wanshan hurriedly changed his words and said: "This is'Ten Thousand Foot', please taste it. In this way, Shen Wanshan resolved this life-and-death question, leaving Zhu Yuanzhang unable to do harm. And that dish: braised pig's trotter so it was renamed "Wanshan pig's trotter." "
