舌尖上的傳說：云南美食故事10 花園鎮(zhèn)豆花 Blessed Soybean Curd

Blessed Soybean Curd

花園鎮(zhèn)一帶的石磨豆花，白凈、細(xì)嫩且韌性特好。傳說為漢劉邦庶子淮南厲王劉長貶居雍店時(shí)，其妃雍氏善磨豆花，雍氏去世后，花園鎮(zhèn)一帶的豆花已小有名氣，人們認(rèn)為系雍氏神力所助，故稱"神仙豆花"。

Garden Town (in Sichuan Province) is famous for its soybean curd made with stone-mill, which is as white as snow, as soft as marshmallow. Story has it that when Liu Bang’s son Liu Chang, King of Huainan was demoted to Yong Dian (today’s Garden Town) with his wife surnamed Yong. They were in deep love with each other. During the day when Liu Chang practiced his calligraphy, his wife would stand by his desk and grind ink for him, serving him with tea and desserts. She had a secret ingredient for soybean curd which was widely spread in Garden Town. After her death, the soybean curd had become popular in the neighborhood. People thought it was blessed by the soul of Yong, hence named it as Blessed Soybean Curd.
