One legend is that ...
According to ancient legend, Huangdi in Xuanyuan made clothes, Emperor Shennong tasted herbs, and Emperor Yanhuang grew food. Emperor Yan's wife was reincarnated as a Mapo Empress, and her husband sang about his wife's peace and took care of each other, and traveled all over China looking for all kinds of food that people could eat.
One day, the couple rode a crane to Tiger Cliff on Baihedong Mountain, only to find that there were litterers all over the mountain, especially the old, weak, women and children lying on the ground.
When Queen Mapo looked at it carefully, she was foaming at the mouth and twitching all over, so she called the local land god and asked him, only to know that a monster came from the west a few days ago, sowing these black fruits, and her tongue was numb, unlike potatoes or taro. Because of the three-year famine here, people starved, ate these fruits and fell down because of the poison attack.
The land master said: I have inquired, and the black mass sown by these devils is called konjac and taro. If you want to eat them, you must add a medicine and cook it thoroughly before eating.
Processed konjac has the effects of satiety, beauty, bowel cleansing, cancer prevention and detoxification, but this secret recipe is in the hands of the devil, and he refuses to take it out. Mapo immediately set up a seven-star stove on Tiger Cliff, cut down millet firewood, and cooked devils in the west for 7749 days. Finally, she burned devils into stove ashes and boiled alkaline water.
Boil konjac with alkali soaked in kitchen ash, the miso is gone, and you don't shoot your tongue. Delicious and delicious. Yan Di's wife Mapo selflessly dedicated this secret recipe of grinding and cooking konjac with alkaline water to the world. Since then, Amorphophallus konjac, a green food, has nurtured generations in China. Later, in order to commemorate the achievements of this mapo, she was honored as the kitchen god-cook.
The Chef Empress specially built a "Chef Temple" for her here, and erected three giant stone pillars hundreds of feet in front of the temple to welcome the Chef Empress to return to the motherland. It is said that someone later set up forty-eight wooden ladders to get a withered Ganoderma lucidum from the top board, and finally managed to get to the second board early and fall far behind. Later, there was a poem to prove it: "A cook makes good tea and meals, and exorcises evil spirits to save the world."
