What food is there in Changshu, Suzhou?

One: beggar chicken. According to legend, there was a beggar wandering around Changshu in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. He accidentally got a chicken and couldn't cook it. At night, he came to the moat, picked the lotus leaves, wrapped them in lotus leaves, coated them with rotten skin, set up firewood by the roadside, slowly baked them until dawn, peeled them off and opened the lotus leaf package. It is so fragrant that it spreads everywhere, which shocked the neighborhood. Look at this. It's amazing!
