One day was hot and the weather was hot. Su Dongbo saw a couple hurriedly walking over with a child in their arms. He stopped the farmer and took it to see that the child gritted his teeth and his hands and feet twitched, which was exactly what the medical book said about heatstroke. So he called the farmer to lay the child flat on the ground, picked a handful of camphor leaves, rubbed them and placed them under the child's nose. After a while, the child cried loudly. The couple took Su Dongpo to repay their gratitude and walked home.
Early in the morning, the farmer came back from buying pork. Ask Su Dongpo how to cook it. At this time, dew hung on the rice leaves in the field, like bright pearls. Su Dongpo was fascinated by the beautiful scenery. He wrote poetry and deliberated his words. The farmer asked softly at the door: "Sir, how do you see this meat eaten?" Dongpo was fascinated by writing poems and read: "Wo-Cao-Zhen-Zhu-Heart-penetrating Fragrance" The farmer took the meat to the kitchen and followed Su Dongpo's instructions and his own thoughts, asked his wife to carry the pork with straw. Place the whole piece of the land in a pot and simmer it until it is thoroughly cooked.
While eating, Su Dongpo saw a piece of whole meat, but it was still tied with straw, for some unknown reason. The farmer saw Su Dongpo looking at the meat in a trance, so he said to Su Dongpo: "Didn't you say that 'the grass is cooked and fragrant to the heart?' Why don't you eat it, sir?"
It turned out that the farmer had strung his words together. Unexpectedly, the pork was mixed with the aroma of straw, which was very fragrant and delicious. When the couple went out, Su Dongbo left a note that read: "The host's kindness was difficult to refuse. Dongpo left without saying goodbye." When the couple came back, they were surprised to see the police officer. It turned out that the benefactor who saved their children was the famous Mr. Su Dongpo.
This story spread from time to time. Everyone learned to tie the meat with straw and cook it to eat. It was really crispy and delicious. The villagers called this meat "Dongpo Pork".

The first step is to clear the pork blood, so that there will not be so much floating foam during subsequent stewing; spreading ginger on the bottom of the pot can effectively prevent the pork from getting burnt in the pan; do not cut the pork too small. Pieces must be at least three centimeters square, otherwise when turning over, it will affect the positioning; using wine instead of water can effectively remove the fishy smell of the pork itself and add a unique aroma.
