Skills: 貓耳朵 (Cat's Ear Pasta) with Nana Ming
According to legend, the Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty traveled to Shanxi and took a small boat to watch shows and touring the scenery in the lake at a time. It suddenly began to rain, and everyone hurriedly avoided the rain in the cabin of the small boat. Everyone waited and waited, but the rain got heavier and harder for a long time. Several hours passed, and Emperor Qianlong was very hungry. The old fisherman told Qianlong that he had noodles but no rolling pin, so he couldn't make noodles. While worrying, the old fisherman's little granddaughter hugged a small tabby cat and walked and said, "There is no rolling pin, I will twist it with my hands." So, the little girl twisted the noodles into pieces, which looked like small tabby cat ears, small and cute. She cooked the weird-shaped noodles in a pot and put them in fish and shrimp marinade and served them to Qianlong. Qianlong saw the unusual appearance of the noodles, exquisite and chic, and after eating them, he felt endless aftertaste. He asked the little girl what noodles were, and the little girl replied that it was cat ears. Qianlong liked this snack-like dish very much, and upon returning to Beijing, he called the little girl to make "cat ears" for it. Since then, "cat ears" has become a famous dish.
