The origin of eating wonton

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Fu Cha, the king of Wu, defeated the State of Yue and captured it. He got a lot of gold and silver treasures, especially after he got the stunning beauty stone, and he was even more carried away, indulging in singing and dancing, debauchery, and not asking about state affairs. When the Winter Festival arrived this year, the King of Wu accepted the worship of officials as usual, and the singing and dancing inside and outside the court were peaceful. Unexpectedly, during the dinner, he was tired of eating delicacies, so he was unhappy and put the dishes aside. Seeing all this, Shi took the opportunity to run into the royal chef, knead dough and roll skin, and tried to make a new snack to show her mind. After several tricks in her hand, the leather finally wrapped a dustpan-shaped snack. Put it in boiling water, and the snacks will drown one by one. She put it in a bowl, added fresh soup, sprinkled with onions, garlic and peppers, and dripped sesame oil for the king of Wu. King Wu tasted it and it was delicious. He ate a big bowl in one breath and repeatedly asked, "What kind of dessert is this?" Shi did Sarah laugh: This heartless and confused monarch is always in a daze. What a mess. Hearing the question, she casually replied, "Wonton." Since then, this kind of dim sum has flowed into the people in the name of "wonton". Wuyue people not only like to eat wonton on weekdays, but also regard it as an appropriate food for winter festivals to commemorate the wisdom and creation of the teacher.
