3. The homemade version of "ice cream" is cold outside and hot inside-fried sweet potato paste.

It is a famous traditional dish in Kaifeng City, Henan Province. The appearance is crystal clear and the taste is sweet and delicious.

According to legend, foreigners invited Lin Zexu, a patriotic general of the Qing Dynasty, to eat ice cream. When Lin Zexu saw the ice steaming, he thought it was hot air blowing from his mouth, only after eating it did he know it was ice gas, and he was laughed at by foreigners around him. Lin Zexu was very angry about this and made up his mind to find an opportunity to teach foreigners a lesson.

By chance, the emperor asked him to receive foreigners, and he asked the chef to cook a fried sweet potato paste. Seeing that the mashed sweet potatoes on the table were not steaming, the foreigner picked up a spoon and began to eat. But the mashed sweet potatoes just out of the pot are covered with oil. Although they are not steamed, they are really hot inside, which makes foreigners scream.

Therefore, the reputation of fried sweet potato paste as a patriotic dish has also come from this and has been passed down to this day.
