Political Commissar Xiao Hong led the team into the city to obtain the Japanese army's sweeping plan, although this arrangement surprised many people, but it was expected for Huang Youming, the elder of the cooking squad. Because he knew that the person in charge of the underground party organization and the underground traffic officer in Zhongxiang County were his nephews, one was the son of the junior brother, the other was the senior apprentice of the senior brother, and Xiao Hong was the beloved daughter of the senior brother.

Back then, he and his senior brother Xiao Jiayong and younger brother Ou Benshan worshiped at the same time to learn cooking under the name of Zhan Qiankun, a famous chef in Zhongxiang, and a series of stories that happened during this period made him unforgettable.

Zhan Qiankun's grandfather's grandfather was a chef in Xingwangfu during the Ming Dynasty. According to legend, in the sixteenth year of Ming Zhengde (1521 AD), Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao died, no son succeeded to the throne, filial piety Emperor Zhang Empress Dowager passed the decree, and sent Wuzong's edict to Huguang'an Luzhou at the same time to the late Xingxian Wang Zhu Youqi's son Zhu Houxi, De'an's Shouding King Zhu Youxi, Weihui's Ru'an King Zhu Youji, ordered the three of them to "come first for the king, then to be the minister". Zhu Houxi received the edict with joy and sorrow, and was worried. The sad thing is that the emperor's brother Yan is newly dead, the joy is that the edict is about to reign in the world, and the worry is that Anlu Prefecture is more than 3,000 miles away from the capital, De'an and Weihui are only a few hundred miles away from the capital, and they are close to hundreds with a distance of 3,000. Just when he was so anxious that he didn't think about tea and dinner, the soothsayer Yan Song offered a plan: "Only when the prince pretends to be a prisoner and sits firmly in the prisoner's car can he travel day and night, and no one dares to stop him or answer him, but he can go to Kyoto on the 20th." Yan Song's suggestion made Zhu Houxi's eyebrows stretch and his confidence greatly increased. He immediately decided to pretend to be a prisoner and rush to Beijing in a prisoner's car. Zhu Houxi is the prince of the vassal king, not to mention the extravagance of his daily life, and he is still in a prisoner car, but eating on the way has become a big problem. So, he ordered the palace chef to make a kind of food that "eats meat but doesn't see meat", and if he can't make it, he will be killed. There is a red case master named Zhan Duo in the palace who has just had a wedding banquet, and he suddenly suffered such an unjust disaster

Heartbroken. His newlywed wife saw that Lang Jun had not returned early and late, and was afraid that he would be hungry, so she took a few steamed sweet potatoes from home and sent them to the house to satisfy his hunger. Zhan Duo was worried that he couldn't make dishes that "eat meat but not meat", how could he have the heart to eat sweet potatoes, and the two of them ended up breaking the sweet potato skin in the push, revealing the yellow pulp. Zhan Duo's eyes lit up when he saw this scene, and his mouth suddenly opened, and a food that ate meat without meat flew into his mind. He took white pork, lean meat and fish and chopped them into meat puree, used salt, chives, ginger as condiments, mixed evenly with starchy eggs, and then wrapped and steamed with sweet potato skins. So Zhu Houxi took the "sweet potato" in his arms and traveled day and night in a prisoner car, and it didn't take half a month to rush to Beijing and ascend the throne of Jinluan. And his two imperial uncles, King Shouding and King Ru'an, thought that the road was close and worry-free, and under the scramble of officials from all over the country, a small banquet in 20 miles and a big banquet in 30 miles, and when they arrived in the capital, the world was decided. Emperor Jiajing was grateful to the people who had helped him, and worshiped the fortune teller Yan Song as the prime minister, and promoted the chef Zhan Duo to serve as the head of the Xingwang Mansion, and Zhan Duo soared from there. In the second year of Jiajing, Zhan Duo was ordered to enter Beijing, and then improved the "sweet potato", made a cylinder one and a half feet long, one and a half inches wide, and seven and a half minutes thick, and the wrapped potato skin was also replaced with an egg skin made of egg yolk and edible red pigment, which was steamed and cut into thin slices, and plated in a bowl, red and yellow, like a dragon. Jiajing named this dish "Panlong" imperial dish. The Zhan family also officially became the inheritor of the royal "Panlong dish".

The Zhan family's culinary skills, with the prestige of their ancestors, have been famous for hundreds of kilometers around Anlu Mansion for hundreds of years. In Zhan Qiankun's generation, the culinary skills have been carried forward even more. In addition to the ancestral panlong dishes, the Zhan family absorbs the strengths of all families, and the Wang family's braised pork, hairy mouth braised chicken, Yang's hoof, etc. have all become the unique skills of the Zhan family. In addition, the sipping of thousands of zhang, steamed thousand zhang, and tofu banquet have become the main dishes of Chinese longevity food.

It was purely by chance that Lao Huangtou was able to become an apprentice of the Zhan family when he was young. One day, when he went into the city to collect work, he happened to encounter Mrs. Zhan being hung up by a speeding carriage, so he hurriedly sent Mrs. Zhan to a nearby pharmacy for treatment, and then personally carried Mrs. Zhan home. Madame Zhan saw that the young man was kind-hearted, diligent and capable, and that he was her life-saving benefactor, so she persuaded the head of the family to take him as an apprentice.

Zhan Qiankun was very satisfied with the three apprentices he had received. The eldest apprentice Xiao Jiayong is righteous, the second apprentice Huang Youming is sincere and loyal, and the third apprentice Ou Benshan is smart and flexible. The eldest disciple focuses on vegetarian food, which is called a must at the Qianzhang Tofu Banquet; The second disciple mainly focuses on meat food, and is famous for its marinated frying and frying; The three disciples have a combination of meat and vegetables, and they are well-known in Panlong dishes and steamed fish cakes.

As the second apprentice, Huang Youming was studying art with his master, in addition to his filial piety to his master and mother, and his respect for his brother and brother, he also cared for the only smart and beautiful little sister Zhan Xiaoyu. Although he knew that his senior brother and junior brother also had a secret affection for his junior sister, the junior sister had a good impression of the three senior brothers, and the lifelong entrustment of the master and his wife to Zhan Xiaoyu was more inclined to the handsome, chic, smart and flexible third apprentice Ou Benshan, all of which he could see from their eyes. But he is confident that if it weren't for the earth-shattering changes in Master's family, he would definitely chase down his cute little sister Zhan Xiaoyu and become his eternal goddess.

The changes in the Zhan family started because of the beautiful Zhan Xiaoyu. At that time, the son of the police chief in the county also fell in love with the beautiful Zhan Xiaoyu, and after many roadblocks and entanglements to no avail, he sent people to the Zhan family to propose marriage. In the face of the scoundrel son, the upright and strong Zhan Xiaoyu sternly refused and swore not to marry. Zhan Qiankun himself was disgusted with the insidious and cunning police chief, especially his uneducated and unskilled, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and causing trouble all the time, so he politely refused this family business. The police chief consciously lost face and held a grudge, and it didn't take long for Zhan Qiankun and his wife to be put in prison and tortured to death on charges of fornicating with the revolutionary party.

Master and mother were killed, and the Zhan family collapsed. Xiao Jiayong, the eldest apprentice who had already been out of school, swore a poisonous oath: If you don't take revenge, you will be a man in vain. So on a stormy night, he was alone with one

He infiltrated the police chief's house with a sharp kitchen knife, stabbed the police chief's father and son, and then resolutely joined the revolution. The little junior sister Zhan Xiaoyu followed the senior brother without hesitation, and married Xiao Jiayong with all her heart. The second apprentice, Huang Youming, saw that the little junior sister already belonged, and resolutely followed the footsteps of the junior brother and sister to participate in the revolution. The third apprentice, Ou Benshan, originally thought that he would eventually become the fast son-in-law of the Zhan family, but now that the Zhan family has suffered this fate, he is sad and determined to keep the ancestral business of the Zhan family and pass on the cooking skills of the Zhan family.

A few years later, in a fierce battle, Xiao Jiayong, who was the head of the Jingzhong Ying guerrillas, died honorably, and Huang Youming, who was his deputy, was also seriously injured and lost his roots as a man. Another year later, Zhan Xiaoyu, who served as an underground traffic officer of the guerrillas, was also unfortunately arrested and killed, and at this time, Xiaohong, the child of his brother Xiao Jiayong and his sister Zhan Xiaoyu, was not yet 6 years old. Huang Youming was sad to see the orphans of his brothers and sisters, so he naturally took Xiaohong to his side and regarded him as his own. When he reached school age, Huang Youming managed to send Xiaohong into the city to be raised by his younger brother Ou Benshan. At this time, Ou Benshan had already made a fortune in the local area with his cooking skills, and had already married a wife and had children. When he saw the children sent by the second senior brother and the senior sister, he couldn't help but hold Xiaohong with tears rippling. Since then, Ou Benshan has regarded Xiaohong as a treasure, named her Xiao Hong, carefully cultivated her, and even spent a lot of money to send his son and Xiao Hong to the provincial capital to study. It was not until the fall of Wuhan that Xiao Hong returned to Zhongxiang, and then as the orphan of a revolutionary martyr, he was sent by Huang Youming to study at Yan'an Kang University, and only after graduating from Kang University in 1940 did he return to Zhaoquanhe, the base of Jingzhong Ying Anti-Japanese Resistance.

Originally, the old yellow head was also clamoring to accompany Xiao Hong into the city to complete the task, and after Xiao Hong repeatedly persuaded and promised to give his braised wild boar meat to his uncle Ou Ben with his own hands, he reluctantly agreed to lead a few personnel who were injured in the training to stay in the base camp, while the rest of the personnel went out of the mountain overnight, like a sword out of the sheath, and went straight to Zhongxiang County.
