Legend has it that there was an old Chinese doctor in Leshan, Sichuan. He felt sorry when he saw some wealthy families throwing beef offal into the river, so he picked up the beef offal, 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 taste and fragrance, 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. Some people who had no seats stood, some squatted, and some sat directly on the steps at the door with their legs crossed and took the bowl to eat. Over time, diners gave it a nickname of "cross-legged" beef, and it has been passed down to this day.
Over the years, the taste of cross-legged beef has been improved from generation to generation and has become more and more popular.
