Peng Zu and Peng Zu, a Taoist priest in the pre-Qin period, were sealed in Dapeng by Emperor Yao because they were good at preparing delicious wild chicken soup. This kind of wild chicken soup is the earliest recorded name in China's ancient books, and it is known as "the best soup in the world". China Cooking History 9 says that Peng Zu is "the first famous professional chef in China" and "the longest-lived chef", and he is regarded as the granddaddy of chefs.
The story about Peng Zu's 880-year-old goes like this: Peng Zu is in charge of heaven, and his colleagues are in charge of life and death books. While his colleague was sleeping, he found his name from the book of life and death, tore it off, rolled it into a thin strip and bound it with a rope.
In this way, there is no name on the life and death book. Peng Zu finally got enough of being an official in heaven. He went to earth, where he became an official, married and had children. Legend has it that Peng Zu not only has a long life, but also looks youthful. He also married 50 wives and gave birth to 54 sons.
When I was in my 50th wife, I was curious about the secret of his longevity. One day, I spoiled and asked, if I die, will you remarry? Peng Zu said very readily, of course she wants to marry. Otherwise, who will accompany me? Her wife coquetry asks you what is the secret of longevity? Maybe your name is not in the book of life and death, and this Peng Zu can't help being a coquettish woman, so he told his wife the truth. Unexpectedly, his wife died the next day, and when she arrived in heaven after her death, she told the jade emperor the news.
The Jade Emperor immediately sent someone down to find Peng Zu, finally found the evidence, and directly took Peng Zu away.
