Legendary story:
According to legend, when Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, four courtiers who waited on him fell ill one after another because of working day and night, and ships and cars ran around. Faced with this situation, even physicians are at a loss.
So Emperor Qianlong ordered the local county magistrate to post a list for medical treatment. Soon, a monk came to reveal the list After taking the pulse, he prescribed the prescription of "lotus seeds, gorgon fruit, yam and poria cocos stewed pork belly in the same amount" and declared that "four ministers, it's done!" . After the four great men surrendered to this prescription, they really recovered immediately.
Since then, every southern official has used this recipe to stew for health. Over time, this convenience was widely circulated among the people in the name of' four ministers soup'. When this recipe spread to Taiwan Province Province, it was not clear about the origin of "Shen Si Soup", and the Taiwanese pronunciation of "Chen" and "Shen" was the same, so it was changed to "Shen Si Soup".
