The origin of braised pig's trotters

Braised trotters are also called Wanshan trotters. There is a legend about the origin of Wanshan trotters. It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang offered to eat this kind of pig's trotters in order to spite Shen Wanshan, the first wealthy businessman in Jiangnan. However, the locally processed pig's trotters are very hard and can only be eaten with a knife, but you can't use a knife and sharp tools in front of the emperor. Shen Wanshan figured out a way to take the cooked pig's trotters home and stew them with a small torch until the meat is very tender. You can separate them with a touch. Because Shen Wanshan had much more money than Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to harm Shen Wanshan Zhu Yuanzhang and let Shen Wanshan invite the emperor and queen to dinner. Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly pointed to the pig's trotters and said to him, "What is this dish? If the answer is "pig's foot", "pig" and "Zhu" are homophonic. Isn't that eating the emperor's feet? It is bound to offend the emperor, and it is not impossible for the emperor to sentence him to death! At this moment, Shen Wanshan quickly changed his tune and said, "This is Wanshan hoof. Please try it. In this way, Shen Wanshan solved this crucial examination problem, making Zhu Yuanzhang unable to hurt it. And that dish: braised pig's trotters were renamed "Wanshan pig's trotters".

The legend about trotters has a long history, and the story about trotters can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. According to legend, from the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination met with his Jinshi. In the future, if one of them became a general, he would ask the calligraphers of the same clan to write the Wild Goose Pagoda in Zhu Shu (red pen).

After that, this agreement spread all over the world. Then one day, a foodie's brain opened wide and suddenly found that Zhu Shu's title was called Zhu Ti for short, and that was "pig's trotters". From then on, whenever someone rushed for the exam, relatives and friends gave him pig's trotters. "Pig" is homophonic with Zhu, and "hoof" is homophonic with the title. The original intention of giving pig's trotters is: I hope to be a champion, a candidate, become a relative, and I can also "write down the title of Zhu Shu"
