Flavor characteristics: 1. The lotus root produced in Xiaxue Lake, Tianzhu Mountain, Anhui Province is as white as jade fat and as refreshing as a crisp pear. It is locally called a fairy product. In history, it was once presented as a tribute to the emperor and used to make imperial meals. Legend has it that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao led his army to attack Shuzhou (now Qianshan County), and the city was destroyed. Among them, nine generals and civilians retreated to the Tianzhai by the Snow Lake and were captured. Cao's soldiers tied them together and beheaded them before throwing them into the lake. The lake was dyed, and from then on, the lotus root grew nine holes, pure white and firm, with a crispy and tender taste than before. In memory of them, the Snow Lake was renamed "Blood Lake". 2. This dish is crispy, refreshing, and has a moderate sour and sweet taste, making it a traditional sweet cold dish in the Tianzhu Mountain area of Anhui Province. This method is also commonly used in lotus root producing areas in Jiangnan water towns.
