Diao Chan Tofu, also known as "Loach Drilling through Tofu." The loaches in this dish symbolize the cunning Dong Zhuo. In hot soup, the loaches are so flustered that they have nowhere to hide, thus drilling into the cold tofu, but ultimately cannot escape being cooked. This is similar to Wang Yun presenting Diao Chan and cleverly using the beauty strategy. This dish features white tofu, a fresh and spicy taste, and rich soup. There is also a folk snack called "Diao Chan Tangyuan (glutinous rice balls)." Legend has it that Wang Yun asked people to add ginger and chili to ordinary tangyuan. After eating these tempting, spicy, fragrant, and refreshing glutinous rice balls, Dong Zhuo felt his head swell, sweat profusely, got drunk unknowingly, and was killed by Lü Bu taking advantage of the situation. A woman's beauty doesn't solely rely on external embellishment; a good diet for beauty can better nourish both appearance and health. We will explore the four great foods associated with the four ancient beauties, helping you eat your way to beauty.

Zhaojun Duck: It is said that after Zhaojun, born in Chu, went to the frontier, she was not accustomed to eating wheat-based food. So the chef combined vermicelli and oil gluten and cooked them in duck soup, which suited Zhaojun's taste very well. Later, people cooked dishes with vermicelli, gluten, and fat ducks, calling it "Zhaojun Duck," which has been passed down to this day.

In the northwestern region, there is also a kind of "Zhaojun Pi Zi" named after Wang Zhaojun, which is a fermented gluten made from flour. The method involves separating the flour into starch and gluten, making noodles with the starch, cutting the gluten into thin slices, and eating them together, accompanied by spicy and numbing seasonings. Eating it feels sour, spicy, cool, flexible, and delicious.
