Yangzhou fried rice is a Cantonese dish. Everyone thinks that Yangzhou fried rice belongs to Yangzhou, but in fact, Yangzhou fried rice was actually a Cantonese dish invented by a Fujian person, and Yangzhou means barbecued pork and shrimp.

So who was the first person to invent Yangzhou fried rice?

that's Yi Bingshou. He was a Jinshi in Qianlong's reign and was from Fujian. And he used to be the magistrate of Huizhou, Guangdong and Yangzhou, Jiangsu. Some people think he is from Guangdong, others think he is from Yangzhou, but what I didn't expect was that he was actually from Fujian.

It was he who invented Yangzhou fried rice together with the cook, and Yangzhou didn't mean Yangzhou, but represented barbecued pork and fresh shrimp.
