In the 14th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 138 1), Xu Da, king of Zhongshan, was ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor, to build Shanhaiguan. One day, Xu Da boarded Wangqin Island (now downtown Qinhuangdao, when Qinhuangdao was an island surrounded by water but close to land) to inspect the terrain. Because Qinhuangdao is located in the western Liaoning corridor, it is the throat of North China to the northeast, and it is also an important meeting point of cultures and trade of all ethnic groups outside the customs. Xu Da cheerfully led his entourage around and unconsciously came to a bridge by the river. The breeze is blowing, and the fragrance is fragrant. Everyone finds his appetite unbearable. They smelled the fragrance and looked around, only to find a simple wooden shed under the eaves of the bridge. The fragrance is coming from the inside. From the inside, there is a woman frying meat and ribs with two children beside her. Xu Da ordered people to buy some and sit down and eat. Suddenly, the fragrance overflowed and he praised them again and again! After eating, the fingers still have fragrance, and the more you eat, the more you like to eat. I feel that I haven't even eaten a few pounds, and I'm still unfinished. So he called the woman to ask? The women's road was originally the home of officials at the end of Yuan Dynasty. Because of the war, the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed and the family was ruined, so she had to flee here with her children. I learned the secret recipe of fried meat from the chef in the official residence, and now I make a living by selling fried meat. Xu Da said, you used to be a big woman, but now you can make a living by frying meat and have children, which is very rare and admirable. So I ordered someone to take pen and ink and write it down: the ribs at the bridge head are famous all over the mountains and seas, and they are given to women, which becomes a much-told story.
