During the Spring Festival, the period drama "South to North" was on the air, and Tie Hanhan's "Niu Dali" in the play also became popular. Niu Dali in the play invited Uncle Ma and Wang Xin to dinner, and during the banquet, he claimed that a dish "Niu Dali Stewed Chicken Soup" was named after himself, but he was honestly told by the little assistant, ** slapped in the face! It turns out that this cow is strong, not the other cow! Niu Dali, in fact, is a Chinese herbal medicine with a long history and a wide range of uses!
Legend has it that Mrs. Xian, the first hero of the women's house, known as the "Holy Mother of Lingnan", led a large army to the area of the eastern district of Yangjiang City, Guangdong Province, in order to quell the rebellion, and fought fiercely for several days without distinguishing the winner or loser. A soldier on Mrs. Xian's side cooked the "powdered arrowroot" he picked up and ate it. The next day, I found that the soldiers who had eaten this soup were all in good spirits. Seeing this, Mrs. Sin inquired about the reason. The soldiers showed the "Pink Ge" to Mrs. Xian, and everyone in the army said that this thing was not "Pink Ge", what was it? Nobody knows. Mrs. Xian said: "This thing is non-toxic to eat, and it strengthens the spirit, but it is okay to eat, but everything is famous, and the power of food is as great as that of an ox, and it should be called a cow vigorously." The whole army then drank the soup and defeated the rebels in one fell swoop. Since then, Niu Dali's reputation has spread from Yangjiang to Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan.
