What is a flower roll?
According to legend, during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu, led his troops to attack Nan Man and captured Meng Huo alive in seven ways, so that Meng Huo finally surrendered. Zhuge Liang moved his troops back to Chaoxian, passing through Lushui on the way.
When the army chariots and horses were preparing to cross the river, suddenly the wind was strong, the waves were thousands of feet, and the ghosts were crying and howling, so the army could not cross the river. At this time, Zhuge Liang summoned Meng Huo and asked why. It turned out that the two armies were at war, and the fallen soldiers could not return home to reunite with their families, so they made waves on this river, preventing all the soldiers from returning home. When the army wants to cross the river, it is necessary to sacrifice the heads of 49 barbarians to the river, so as to be calm.
Zhuge Liang thought: casualties are inevitable when the two armies are at war. How can we kill 49 more people? Thinking of this, he came up with a plan, that is, he ordered the cook to take rice flour as the skin, wrap the meat of black cattle and white sheep, and mold 49 heads. Then, set up the incense table, sprinkle wine and offer sacrifices to the river.
Since then, there has been a saying of "steamed bread" among the people, and Zhuge Liang has also been honored as the ancestor of dough sculpture. In the Ming Dynasty, Lang Ying recorded in his notes "Seven Manuscripts": "The real name of steamed bread is Mantou, which is a sacrifice to the gods. Zhuge Zhi ordered Meng Huo to take bread and meat as the head sacrifice, which was called' Man Tou' and is now also steamed bread. "
After all, the steamed bread created by Zhuge Liang is full of beef and mutton, which is complicated and expensive. In this way, later generations omitted the process of making stuffing and turned it into steamed bread. Stuffed buns are made, and those with many folds like flowers are called "flower rolls"
