Hu Zhonghua, deputy director of Hechuan Cultural Center and head of Hechuan Intangible Heritage Protection Center, said that Hechuan has been a material distribution center since ancient times, and the catering industry is thriving. All kinds of famous dishes and snacks are famous in Chongqing. "Hechuan Meat Slices" came into being in the catering industry such as the water wharf. There are three versions of folk stories, telling the historical origin of "Hechuan Meat Slices".

One day, after work in the restaurant, the chef wrapped the leftover minced meat with eggs and starch, fried it until it was golden on both sides, and then added various auxiliary materials and seasonings to cook it for himself. I didn't expect it to be delicious Since then, he has continued to make such pieces of Hechuan meat, which has gradually become a flavor dish.

Two: On the occasion of the Southern Song Dynasty's resistance to Mongolia, Wang Jian of Zhizhou came to a pub in Hejiang (Hechuan was called Hejiang in ancient times) for dinner. When the young apprentice who looked after the shop saw that the adults were well known, he panicked and put the bean powder, eggs, glutinous rice balls and meat into the oil pan. When the sliced meat was browned, he brought it in a panic. Who knows, the adult well-known tasted it and said, "Wonderful! Wonderful! What is the name of this dish? " The little apprentice casually said, "Hezhou Meat Slices".

Three said: During the Qing Dynasty, an official from Sichuan came to Hechuan by boat and went ashore to live in a hotel in Hejie Street. Master Yuan, a celebrity in the catering industry in Hejie Street, was just cooking. Seeing a foreign guest officer coming to the store for dinner, he put a piece of crispy meat he had just figured out on the table. The diners pointed to Master Yuan and said, "Hechuan sliced meat is delicious!" Hechuan sliced meat production skills have been handed down since then.
