King Wu tasted it and it was delicious. He ate a big bowl in one breath and repeatedly asked, "What kind of dessert is this?" Shi did Sarah laugh: This heartless and confused monarch is always in a daze. What a mess.
Hearing the question, she casually replied, "Wonton." Since then, this kind of dim sum has flowed into the people in the name of "wonton". Wuyue people not only like to eat wonton on weekdays, but also regard it as an appropriate food for winter festivals to commemorate the wisdom and creation of the teacher.
