1 Dongpo pork, a famous dish in Hangzhou, is stewed with pork.

According to legend, it was created by Su Dongpo, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty (Meishan, Sichuan). Dongpo meat originated from Huanggang, Hubei Province. 1080, Su Dongpo went into exile in Huanggang, where pigs were plentiful and meat was cheap, so he came up with this method of eating meat.

Zhou Zizhi in Song Dynasty wrote in Zhupo Poetry: "Dongpo likes pigs by nature. When he was in Huanggang, he tasted the poem "Eat pork":' Slow fire, little water, and only when the heat is enough can he be beautiful. Get up and play a bowl every day until your husband doesn't care. ""Later, Su Dongpo came back from Huangzhou in 1085 and returned to Kaifeng, the capital, as Changzhou and Dengzhou. Soon excluded, 1089 asked to be transferred to Hangzhou as a satrap, and developed Huangzhou's experience of burning meat into Dongpo meat. As a delicacy of Han nationality, it became popular in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. Dongpo Meat was first created in Xuzhou. "Famous Cuisine in Ancient and Modern Xuzhou" records that when Su Shi became well-known in Xuzhou, the Yellow River burst, and Su Shi took the lead in building dikes to protect the city with the people of the whole city. Xuzhou people slaughtered pigs and sheep and went to the government to comfort them. Unable to refuse, Su Shi instructed his family to cook braised pork and return it to the people. After eating, people feel fat but not greasy, crispy and delicious, so they call it "Sichuan style pork". When Su Shi demoted Huangzhou, he sang "Cooking Meat": "Huangzhou is a good pork, and its price is as cheap as dung. The rich refuse to eat, and the poor don't know how to cook. Slow down the fire, less water, and it will look good when the fire is full. People began to imitate each other and dubbed it "Dongpo Meat". When Su Shi was appointed as the second magistrate of Hangzhou, he made great contributions to dredging the West Lake. When everyone gave him wine and meat to celebrate the New Year, Su Shi ordered pork and wine to cook for migrant workers. His family mistakenly thought that rice wine and pork were cooked together, but everyone felt crisper and better after eating. The reputation of "Dongpo Meat" slowly spread all over the country. Su Shi was a famous great writer in the Northern Song Dynasty. He is not only profound in poetry and calligraphy, but also a gourmet in ancient China. He is also good at cooking, especially at braised pork.

The emperors of the Qing dynasty were just like Nanjing people-they liked to eat ducks, and ducks were always indispensable in every imperial meal. In the fifty-third year of Qianlong (A.D. 1788), on the seventh day of July, the breakfast in Qianlong included stewed duck in wine, duck in soup and steamed duck.

Gan Long likes to eat ducks, and he also eats a famous dish "Duck with Dried Vegetables". According to a big restaurant, when Gan Long went to Jiangnan, he heard that the ducks in the water town were delicious, so he planned to try them early. It's almost noon, and I'm still worried about it. The cook was so anxious that he didn't even pluck the duck feathers. What should I do? The cook can also fool, and conveniently sprinkled a handful of dried black vegetables and covered the duck feathers with the light duck. Who wants to eat Kung Pao-flavored dried dragon at ordinary times, change it to a mouth that feels fresh and praise it for its delicious taste? Because the emperor loves to eat, he made such a famous dish. This legend is not credible. This may be made up by the restaurant, but it shows that Gan Long likes to eat ducks.

For another example, Empress Dowager Cixi's daily imperial meals include braised duck, braised duck, roast duck, duck tongue, duck paw, duck gizzard, duck liver and duck intestines, which she likes to eat.

Puyi, the last emperor, copied a rough list of Xuantong's four years in February in the book My First Half Life. At that time, Puyi was only 7 years old, but she ate nearly 30 dishes for breakfast, including three fresh ducks, fried sea cucumber with duck strips and diced duck with Gexianmi.

Because Cixi likes to eat ducks, someone has made good luck. Xiao, a famous eunuch in the late Qing Dynasty, is one of them. The reason why Zhang Xiaode can become a red man in front of Cixi can be found out because he is good at making a dish that Cixi likes to eat-stewed duck strips.

One of Cixi's great hobbies is to eat flowers and take a bath. The medical records of the Qing court show that Empress Dowager Cixi, who loves beauty as a life, is the person who can "consume" flowers the most. Hua Rendeling, an American who once worked as a personal female official beside Cixi, once wrote a book "Two Years of Qing Palace", which wrote: "She (Cixi) loves flowers, trees, dogs and horses and other creatures like ordinary people."

General Nian Gengyao.

The material in Qing Chao is about the famous Nian Gengyao. After being dealt with by Yong Zhengdi, the family was ruined, and those concubines also fell apart and married into the homes of ordinary people. One of the maids married a poor scholar in Hangzhou. Shortly after the marriage, the maid revealed to her current husband that she was one of the chefs of the general in 2008.

And interestingly, she only cooked one dish for General Nian Gengyao, that is, fried meat, and completely ignored the rest, so she earned a high salary in Nianfu with this dish. The details are as follows: Nian Gengyao's daily menu must be given to the chef one day in advance. If it is "small fried meat", the people in the general's office must be busy for half a day. However, we usually only eat small fried meat once or twice a month. "If you order small fried meat, you have to be busy for a long time, once or twice a month." This "small fried meat professional chef" only works once or twice a month.

Li Yu, a gourmet in Qing Dynasty, has a light, natural and compassionate diet view, which should be appreciated by many people who advocate light diet and animal protectionism in modern times. Because Li Yu has always believed that "meat eaters are contemptuous" and "meat is not as good as meat, and meat is not as good as vegetables", the more food is separated from complex cooking procedures, the better it tastes. Therefore, those American health salad houses can translate Li Yu's quotations into English and post them on the wall, encouraging everyone not to paralyze themselves with big fish and meat after work, but to come to this restaurant to eat a pot of fresh vegetables like grass for lunch.

Among all kinds of foods, Li Yu admires bamboo shoots the most, followed by mushrooms suspected of matsutake. He is also particularly interested in mustard, and his favorite meat food is crab. From this point of view, if Li Yu lived to this day, he should be very keen to join the luxury food tour group to Japan. Living in modern times, Li Yu should have a more wonderful life, and his indifference should not be under Yuan Mei.
