❤️About the origin of the cross-legged beef: (extracted from the Internet)
It is said that in the early 1930s, in Leshan, Sichuan, there was an old Chinese doctor named Luo who was good at Chinese herbal medicine and proficient in the art of Qihuang. He hung a pot and cooked medicine by the river in Suji Town, Leshan to help passers-by. This soup not only prevents diseases and quenches thirst, but also can cure common colds, stomach problems, toothaches, etc.
During this period, he saw some wealthy families throwing beef offal (such as beef intestines, beef bones, beef tripe, grass tripe, etc.) into the river and felt it was a pity. So, he picked up the offal and washed it, and put it in a soup pot with Chinese herbs. It turned out that the soup tasted very fresh and fragrant. Because of its special flavor and the effect of preventing and curing diseases. Therefore, there was an endless stream of people who came to drink, and the hall was full.
There were no seats during the meal, some stood, some squatted, and people were used to standing with one foot on the beam under the table. Over time, diners gave it a nickname of "cross-legged" beef, and it has been passed down to this day.
