This is a traditional famous dish that reflects the beautiful temperament of West Lake. It has a strong local color. This dish is elegant in color, fresh and tender, and has a unique flavor!
Legend has it that Longjing shrimp is related to Emperor Qianlong. When Qianlong traveled south of the Yangtze River to Hangzhou, he wore casual clothes and traveled to the West Lake. It was Ching Ming. When he came to Longjing Tea Village, it rained heavily, so he had to shelter from the rain at a village girl’s house nearby. The village girl was hospitable and asked to sit and make tea. The tea is brewed from the newly-picked Longjing and charcoal-fired mountain springs. Qianlong was overjoyed when he drank such fragrant and mellow tea. He wanted to take a bit of it back to taste, but he didn’t want to say anything, let alone reveal his identity. Taking advantage of the village girl not paying attention, she grabbed a handful and hid it in the dragon robe in the plain clothes. When it rained and cleared, I bid farewell to the village girl and continued to travel around the mountains and water until sunset. I was thirsty and hungry. I took a seat at a small wine shop by the West Lake and ordered a few dishes, one of which was fried shrimp. After ordering the food, he suddenly remembered the Longjing tea he had brought, and wanted to soak it to quench his thirst. So he called the shop Xiaoer while picking up casual clothes to get tea. Xiao Er was shocked when he saw Qianlong's dragon robe when he was receiving tea, and hurried into the kitchen to tell the owner of the shop. The shopkeeper was frying shrimps. When he heard that the sage arrived, he was very panicked and made a mistake in his busy schedule. He actually sprinkled the Longjing tea leaves that Xiaoer had brought in as green onions on the fried shrimps. Unexpectedly, this dish was served in front of Qianlong. It was fragrant and fragrant. I tasted it and felt fresh and delicious. When I looked at the dishes on the dish, I saw that Longjing was green and the shrimps were white and tender. I couldn't help but praise, "Good food! !""
