Wen Gu chat.
There is a small country in the east called Youxin.
One morning, a girl carrying a basket went to the mulberry forest to pick mulberries, and suddenly there was a cry of a baby.
The girl immediately put down the basket and followed the cry to find it.
In the belly of a hollow old mulberry tree, the girl found a fat red doll, lying naked in the hollow of the tree, naked, looking at his little feet, dancing his hands, and crying. The girl was very strange, how could there be a little doll in the hollow of the tree?
She picked up the doll and presented it to the king of Youxin, who gave the child to the cook in the imperial dining room to raise.
The king was very strange about this, and sent for a visit to the little doll's parents.
It didn't take long for the people who went out to visit to come back, and they told King Xin that the child's background was very peculiar.
The child's mother used to live on the shores of Yishui. When she was pregnant, she had a dream one night in which a man of God said to her, "If the water comes out of the spring rice and goes east, don't look back." ”
The next day, when she was in the spring rice, the water really flowed out, and she hastened to tell the neighbors what she had dreamed about last night, and asked them to go with her.
Some of the neighbors believed what she said, while others thought she was talking nonsense.
She led the villagers all the way east, and after walking for about ten miles, she couldn't help but glance back.
Good fellow, the place where she lived had been flooded, and the fierce waves followed her and the townsfolk closely.
She was so frightened that she raised her arms and wanted to shout loudly, but before she could do so, her body turned into a hollow mulberry tree.
The mulberry tree was just holding back the water**, blocking the rapids, and the flood water gradually receded.
The hollow mulberry tree that the mulberry picker picked up the child was changed by this mother.
All the neighbors who fled with the child's mother can attest to this.
This child is Yi Yin, because his mother lived by Yi Shui, and later became the official of "Yin", hence the name.
Yi Yin grew up under the care of the cook, not only smart, kind, helpful, but also learned to cook well.
He is able to make delicious meals according to the needs of different people. In his spare time, he would memorize the recipe for each dish and practice it repeatedly Xi until he became proficient.
Yi Yin was also very learned, and he often imagined that one day he could help the suffering people.
After a few more years, Yi Yin became the teacher of King Xin's daughter.
He thought that his opportunity to make contributions had come, and he often gave advice to King Youxin.
King Xin has never taken Yi Yin seriously, and King Xin thinks that the children raised by the cook will not be of much use.
Because he couldn't be reused, Yi Yin decided to defect to the Tang King. However, no suitable opportunity has been found.
One day, the opportunity finally came, Cheng Tang wanted to marry the daughter of King Xin, and Yi Yin took the initiative to go to Cheng Tang as a dowryman.
At the wedding banquet, Yi Yin used his superb cooking skills to make many dishes that met the appetite of the guests, which was well received by everyone.
The soup king was very happy and decided to summon this extraordinary cook.
In front of the soup king, Yi Yin started from the cooking methods of various delicacies and talked about the methods of governing the country.
Tang Wang felt that this cook was very talented, and treated him differently from then on, but he did not improve him. Yi Yin felt that his talents in Tang Wang could not be used, and he was very aggrieved, so he defected to Xia Wei.
