The story of the girl Huajiao
far away in the ancient times when floods flooded, Dayu controlled the flood and led thousands of troops to clear out the three gorges of the Yangtze River. The people who suffered from the floods returned to their long-lost homeland, cleared up wastelands and sowed, and returned to the comfortable days of "pastoral life".
In the army of water control , there is an old doctor who follows Dayu with a little granddaughter. The girl is beautiful and intelligent, named Huajiao. She follows her grandfather all day to treat migrant workers in water control and local people.
Dayu's flood control army cleared Three Gorges . When he was about to move to another place, the flood control army had an epidemic eye disease where it was originally stationed and lived.
A local girl with good looks from the girl Huajiao was thin due to eye pain. She finally recovered from eye disease and grandson. Under the treatment of her grandson, the girl finally recovered from eye disease. The girl was grateful.
However, people with eye diseases and people with various diseases have been continuously increasing. Seeing this, Miss Huajiao couldn't bear to leave the people of the Three Gorges, but she couldn't bear to leave her grandfather. Faced with a dilemma, Miss Huajiao finally made a difficult decision and proposed to her grandfather to stay in the Three Gorges.

Seeing that this innocent little girl had a heart for the people, Dayu liked her very much, but to test the medical skills of the girl Huajiao on the spot, she proposed several difficult diseases and asked her to reply to the disease. The girl Huajiao could answer the questions fluently and take the medicine according to the symptoms.
Then Dayu asked Miss Huajiao to cure the eye disease of several local people alone. Miss Huajiao can really rejuvenate and cure the patient's eye disease by the medicine.
Grandpa nodded and said yes. Dayu convinced Miss Huajiao's grandfather with satisfaction and left Miss Huajiao in the Three Gorges.

Every local people like her and call Miss Huajiao a "miracle doctor".
Later, due to the dense forests and humid land, the damp and hot eye diseases are widely prevalent. In severe areas, people fell sick from house to house and groaned, and some even blinded their eyes.

In order to prevent eye diseases, the dishes with fragrant numbness and red grains were added to the dishes for three meals a day. Over time, these small red grains became the seasoning in the dishes. The small red grains and chili peppers have become a unique flavor in the dish - spicy flavor. Since then, it has been passed down from generation to generation to this day.
Since then, the spicy flavor of Sichuan has continued to this day, and the spicy cuisine has become a very famous specialty dish in China.
