Fold the whole pig's head and bake it.

Allusions Legend has it that during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, a lotus master in fahai temple was good at cooking, and the cooked pig's head was tender and sweet. He often entertains donors with his own roast pig's head. The food is delicious and is known as the taste of Jiangnan. The children also made up a song to sing, because monks can burn pig's heads. In fact, there is nothing special about being a vegetarian, because disciples teach from door to door. Later, devadatta, a disciple of Shi Jia, set up a separate portal and proposed not to eat meat, eggs, fish and meat. In Liang Wudi, Buddhism was established, and a fast system in which Buddhists did not eat meat and vegetables began. Later, Master Lian passed this unique skill on to a chef in the temple. The chef learned this method and opened a restaurant outside, specializing in cooking and roasting the whole pig's head. After making, put the head meat and tongue into the dish, then put the cheeks, pig ears and eyes in place to form a complete pig's head shape, and then pour the original soup, retaining the techniques and flavor handed down by fahai temple Lotus Master.
