Report 1

It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang was born in poverty. He was a beggar and a monk when he was young. Once, because he was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, he picked up expired tofu discarded by others, fried it willy-nilly, and stuffed it into his mouth. The taste is unforgettable. Later, when he became a military commander, the army successfully hit Anhui all the way. As soon as he was happy, he ordered the whole army to eat stinky tofu to celebrate, and the reputation of stinky tofu finally spread widely.
