Legend one

It is said that a long time ago, Ningdu had a child whose father died early and whose mother depended on each other. One day, my mother was seriously ill, lying in bed for a long time, dying. For the sake of filial piety, the son went out to try to get a hen for his mother. He put the chicken into a broken bowl and asked his neighbor for a cup of rice wine, a handful of salt and a spoonful of oil. After stewing with charcoal fire, he fed it to his mother. Unexpectedly, the aroma overflowed, which attracted an official chef next door. He tasted a piece and found it delicious.

In order to bid farewell to my brother, my sister killed the only tender three yellow chicken in the family, cleaned it, chopped it into small pieces and put it into a small sand pot to stew together with the chicken viscera. Because the family was poor and there was no seasoning, they put some sweet wine, soy sauce, lard, ginger and so on, and then put them on a firewood stove to stew. After a while, the smell of chicken overflowed, and the taste was very beautiful.

Because of his diligence and honesty, he was favored by the shopkeeper and recruited as his son-in-law. Later, because she was worried about her lonely sister in her hometown, she went back to visit her hometown with the consent of her wife and parents in law. As soon as I arrived at my hometown, I saw that my sister's poor life was hard to sustain, so I packed some luggage to pick her up. The younger brother always remembers the delicious chicken dish he ate when he left home, so he asked his elder sister to cook it again to enjoy the guests. One of the guests is a chef working in the government. Seeing the unique flavor of this dish, I asked about the method and the name of the dish. My sister called it "three cups of chicken" because she put three cups of seasonings. Since then, my sister and brother often used this dish in restaurants. In addition, the chef often made this kind of "three cups of chicken" according to the way he learned, which was highly praised.
