Several chefs died for this; while cooking fish soup , and was afraid of being suspected of cursing Qin Shihuang to "break his body into pieces". One day, a certain chef was preparing a royal meal. When he saw that the fish was timid and aggressive, he hit the fish with the back of his kitchen knife to vent his anger. After hitting it twice, he was surprised to find that the fish bones were exposed automatically and the fish meat turned into minced fish.
