A special snack in Tianjin called "Wudou". Actually, it's just cooking five flavored fava beans, also known as fennel beans. According to legend, Emperor Qianlong traveled southward along the canal in his humble attire and rowed to Mu Zhuangzi (now known as "Tianmu Village") in the north of Tianjin City. He passed by a shop and smelled the aroma, which aroused his appetite. The shopkeeper presented the steaming sprouted black beans on lotus leaves. After Emperor Qianlong's meal, he praised it endlessly. After returning from his southern tour, he still thought about it and ordered the shop owner Mu Shi to enter the palace, specializing in cooking sprouted black beans, which he must eat for breakfast every day. As a result, it became a palace food.
