Noodle meat is a traditional dish for entertaining guests. The meat is fat but not greasy, tender but not greasy, salty and sweet, and has an endless aftertaste. Legend has it that Emperor Chongzhen was on a tour of the South incognito and stayed at a farmer's shop named Ding. The Dings were very hospitable and took out the bowl of meat they had prepared for the New Year at home, processed it and sent it to Chongzhen. Chongzhen was overjoyed after eating and praised them repeatedly. Later, Chongzhen told them his identity, appointed Chef Ding as the royal chef, and entered the palace with him. From then on, the noodles and meats have been passed down to this day.
