Zhou Gong porridge woman is a famous porridge shop from the depths of Guangdong.

/kloc-in 0/6, Emperor Kangxi left Beijing for a private visit for the fifth time in order to observe the people's feelings. That autumn, the emperor came to Guangzhou with his entourage. The road was very cold and could not be cured for a long time.

Chahar, the ambassador of Fengjiang, Guangdong, informed famous doctors from all walks of life in Lingnan to treat the emperor, but failed. Later, I heard that there are a pair of grandfathers and grandmothers in their eighties in Meizhou countryside who are good at cooking porridge. The porridge they cooked is prepared according to the family tradition, which not only moistens and tastes delicious, but also strengthens the body and eliminates diseases.

So Chahar sent someone to take the grandparents to the inspector's office. According to the requirements of grandparents, they set up a woodpot earthenware stove, using ebony unique to Lingnan as the main material, with other auxiliary materials and several Chinese medicines. After several hours of slow cooking, a pot of health porridge with medicinal fragrance was cooked.

The emperor took a sip and he felt very comfortable. He swallowed three bowls, opened his blood vessels and let Tang Yin shine. Within three days, Emperor Kangxi was refreshed and fully recovered. The elderly grandparents became famous for a while. Later, this kind of health porridge in Meizhou was widely circulated among the people and was crowned as "porridge husband and porridge woman".

In the early years of the Republic of China, with the rise of the Hakka gold rush to Nanyang in Guangzhou, Chaoshan and Meizhou, it is said that grandpa and grandma's sons went together to make a living in the health porridge shop of "porridge husband and wife" in Malaysia. Through years of practice and accumulated experience handed down from generation to generation, "porridge husband and porridge wife" has been continuously improved in nutrition, color and taste, and is loved by people with different skin colors.
