The origin story of "stinky tofu";

It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang was born in poverty. He was a beggar and a monk when he was young. Once, because he was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, he picked up expired tofu discarded by others, fried it willy-nilly, and stuffed it into his mouth. The delicious taste is unforgettable.
