So he reluctantly scooped a piece and tasted it, and found that it tasted good, and quickly ate it all. He exclaimed, "It's delicious!"The wife teased, "I'm not kidding you, do you have such a treat?"The husband happily said, "Then let's call this block of bean paste 'husband's treat!"Later, the couple began to cook "husband's treat" every day.

During the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong visited the Qing Town, and Zhang Yilong, the 56th Abbot, discovered that the star Zhibi had moved south, so he knew that the emperor was coming.
