According to legend, during the Jiayou period of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a gifted scholar in Hongzhou who invited friends to travel. When he arrived at a beautiful place, he ordered his servant to cook fish, chicken and meat on the spot and play until the sun went down. However, everyone still wants to meet again tomorrow. When he left, the servant put the remaining chicken, fish and seasoning into a crock, filled it with clear spring, sealed it with a lid, and stuffed it into an unlit ash furnace, sealed it with earth, leaving only one hole for ventilation. The next day, everyone arrived as scheduled, and the servant moved the buried crock out before opening the crock lid. It smells good already. From then on, everyone went out to play like this, and was later informed by a shopkeeper and introduced to the restaurant. From then on, crock simmer soup became famous among the people and became a must for Gancai. A gourmet once wrote a poem praising: "Folk stews soup for thousands of years, and guests from all over the world often stay. A thousand years of wonders can be collected, and this soup will not be changed. " "Pot simmering soup" also recorded that "the pot is fragrant and boiling, elegant in all directions, and the pot is stewed to the end, which is amazing in the world."
