According to legend, Zhu Yuanzhang was poor when he was young, never had enough to eat, his parents died and he was homeless. In order to make a living, he was forced to become a monk in his hometown Huang Jue Temple. Unfortunately, there was a famine in my hometown soon, and no one cared about the incense in the temple, so I had to go out for alms. In the meantime, he went through many vicissitudes, and often didn't eat a bite of rice all day. Once, he didn't get food for three days in a row. He is hungry and tired. He fainted in the street and was rescued by an old woman passing by.
The old woman put the only piece of tofu and a handful of spinach together, poured a bowl of leftover porridge and cooked it for Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang was refreshed after eating and asked the old woman what she had just eaten. The old woman took pleasure in suffering and joked that it was called "Pearl Jade White Jade Soup".
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor and tasted all the delicious food in the world.
Suddenly one day he was ill and couldn't eat anything, so he remembered the "pearl jade white jade soup" he had when he was begging in his hometown and immediately ordered the chef to cook it for him. The chef had no choice but to make soup with pearls, jadeite and white jade. After Zhu Yuanzhang tasted it, he felt that it was not right at all.
Son, he killed the cook in a rage.
Another chef from his hometown was asked to do it. The chef is very clever. He changed pearls into fish eyes, sliced red bell peppers into rubies, spinach into emeralds, tofu into white jade stuffing and fish bone soup.
After offering this dish, Zhu Yuanzhang felt delicious as soon as he ate it, just like the old woman gave it to him, so he ordered the chef to be rewarded. After the chef was rewarded, he went home sick and passed this dish that Zhu Yuanzhang liked to eat on to Fengyang's father.
