Is Zhu Yuanzhang or Qianlong the inventor of sour plum soup, a traditional beverage in old Beijing?

On a hot summer day, drinking a bowl of authentic sour plum soup is a great enjoyment. As for the traditional beverage Sour Plum Soup in Beijing, the inventor has two rumors, one is Zhu Yuanzhang and the other is Gan Long, because both are clearly recorded in historical materials.

And I think the first inventor of sour plum soup should be Zhu Yuanzhang. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang flourished in the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. It can only be said that Ganlong developed the sour plum soup and added many Chinese herbal medicines to the ingredients, so that the sour plum soup beverage not only quenches thirst, but also has the function of conditioning the body. According to legend, when Zhu Yuanzhang was at war with Chen Youliang, he cooked sour plums, a specialty of his hometown, with boiling water and distributed them to all the soldiers.

However, this sour plum is too strong, so I add a little rock sugar. I didn't expect it to have a good effect on many officers and men suffering from heatstroke. So the origin of sour plum soup should be invented by Zhu Yuanzhang. Sour plum soup is really good, but we still need to drink it in small quantities at ordinary times, because the sugar content of the current sour plum soup beverage is too high.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang also invented a very famous dish called Zhuyu Baiyu Decoction. Of course, this dish is what we call home-cooked cabbage and tofu.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang put all the ingredients together at random during begging because he didn't eat the last meal. It is said that after Daming Jiangshan was established, people who had cooked this dish were specially invited to cook it again. As a result, all the princes and ministers ate it and stared. Because it's so bad, people eat different foods in different situations and feel different.
