A short story of Anhui's unpopular history
"Free and unfettered chicken" is a delicious food in Hefei, Anhui Province, and a famous historical dish. It is made of whole chicken, coated with honey, fried, marinated with various seasonings, and braised until crisp and rotten.

In 208 AD, Cao Cao, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, led hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Jingzhou. At that time, Liu Biao had just died, and his son, Liu Cong, was shocked by the momentum of Cao Bing, and quickly surrendered to Liu Biao. Liu Bei had to retreat to Jiangling. Soon, Cao Bing captured Jiangling and moved east along the river. Liu Bei's presence in Xiakou is crucial.

Zhuge took the countermeasure of uniting Wu against Cao and went to Jiangdong to persuade Sun Quan. Zhou Yu and Lu Su, the main warring factions in Dongwu, quickly assembled their troops and deployed along the Yangtze River, which soon formed a military confrontation between Sun Liu and his old enemy Cao Cao.

On the eve of the famous Battle of Red Cliffs in history, Cao Cao, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, led a great army to Luzhou (Hefei, Anhui), suddenly fell ill and had to rest in xiaoyaojin. This xiaoyaojin used to be the battlefield where Cao Cao's general Zhang Liao fought fiercely with Wu Dong's army, which was a great threat to the world. Seeing the imminent demise of Wu, Cao Cao's army was in a hurry.

Cao Jun stepped up his practice day and night under the "corner platform" where Cao Cao personally commanded the battle. On this day, during the exercise, a Luzhou man suddenly presented a "secret recipe". According to the "secret recipe", the chef in the accompanying troops caught a local "Yaji" about half a catty, pickled it with Chinese medicine and good wine, and gave it to the Prime Minister.

Cao Cao has been eating without touching water or rice for many days, but he thinks the chicken is delicious and his appetite is greatly increased. He ate more than half of the chicken in one sitting.

After that, the chef cooked it three times in a row, and Prime Minister Cao ate it all, and his body soon recovered. From then on, everywhere he went, he invited a chef to eat this kind of chicken, and he kept praising people: "It's delicious and carefree."
