1. The origin of Buddha leaping over the wall "Buddha leaping over the wall" is the leading brand-name delicacy in Fujian cuisine. It is famous at home and abroad for its exquisite materials, unique preparation method and strong taste. This dish is well-known and has something to do with its magical legend. It was in the Tang Dynasty more than 1,3 years ago. It is said that a monk of unknown origin visited a restaurant adjacent to his temple in Fujian, and there was always a kind of dish with a strange smell, which made him feel stupid. Finally, one day, he couldn't hold back, jumped over the wall and ate his fill, even breaking the rules. The legend is unknown, but it is circulated among the people, which fully shows the enduring charm of the dish "Buddha jumping over the wall". The history that "Buddha jumps over the wall" can be verified is more than 2 years ago. During the light years of the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Chun Fa, a restaurant in Juchunyuan, Fuzhou, was famous for cooking this dish. Zheng Chunfa used to be an official chef in Zhou Lianfu, the chief secretary of the Qing Dynasty. One day, Zhou Lian was invited to a family dinner for the boss of the largest local money house. The proprietress of a money house is known for her excellent cooking skills. On that day, in order to show his skill, he took the opportunity to curry favor with Zhou Lian, and then showed off his specialty of stewing vegetables in jars like the ancients. After this dish was served, the lid of the jar was opened, and the aroma was overflowing immediately, which made people drool. After eating it, Zhou Lian still could not bear to put down her chopsticks. After returning home, he vividly described the shape and taste of this dish to Zheng Chunfa. Zheng Chunfa, who has a heart in mind, tried and adjusted repeatedly according to Zhou Lian's materials, cooking methods and the color, smell and shape of the finished dishes, and finally felt that he had reached the ideal state, so he presented Zhou Lian with this carefully cooked dish. Zhou Lian didn't eat it, but when she ate it, she was amazed at the table and praised Zheng Chunfa for his ingenuity and cultivation. Zheng was not satisfied with following the same pattern, and then he kept thinking about it. The main ingredients were eclectic, and the auxiliary materials were added with appropriate delicacies. The processing method was tailored to the material. After many processes, it was finally simmered with Shaoxing wine, and the effect greatly exceeded that of the proprietress of the money house. After entering WTO, Zhou Lian later fell behind, and Zheng Chunfa also left the Chief Secretary. In order to make a living, I opened my own Juchunyuan restaurant, and took out the stew dishes developed for many years as signature dishes, which soon became famous. Suddenly one day, several scholars came here to taste the famous dish that was popular for a while. When the bartender held out an old wine jar and invited a guest to open it, the scholar not only ignored it, but laughed at the old jar. The attentive waiter went up to open the jar cover, and the stuffy aroma came to the nose. The frivolous scholars immediately put down their shelves, stretched out their heads, snuffed their noses, and drooled, even marveling. One blurted out, "Even if the Buddha smells the fragrance of vegetables, he will jump over the wall and break the precepts to taste them." Another asked about the name of the dish, and the bartender replied that it was "stew in a jar". The scholar waved his head again and again: it was too straight and vulgar, indecent and inappropriate, so he improvised and sang: "The incense of the altar-opened dishes wafted around, and the Buddha heard that he abandoned Zen and jumped over the wall." Everyone claims that it is wonderful, and this dish is named after "Buddha jumps over the wall", which is the most resistant to spiritual taste. Since then, "stew in a jar" has been nicknamed "Buddha jumps over the wall".
