Idiom story

During the Western Jin Dynasty, Lu Ji, the son of general Lu Kang of the eastern Wu Dynasty, lived in seclusion in his hometown for many years. Later, he went to Luoyang, the capital, to visit Wang Ji, the powerful son-in-law at that time. When Wang Ji met him, he asked him what good food there was in Dongwu. Lu Ji replied humbly that the soup made of Brasenia schreberi from Qianli lake is very famous. Without salted soy sauce, it's as good as cheese in the north. This means that the soup with salted soy sauce is more delicious than cheese.
