One winter, Empress Dowager Cixi suffered from anorexia, and she didn't even bother to move chopsticks in the face of various delicacies. A little cook named Bao Ping 'an cooked a delicacy called filial piety dish, which cured the anorexia of the Queen Mother. Empress Dowager Cixi was overjoyed and gave Bao Ping 'an the maid-in-waiting around her, and opened a restaurant for them in the capital. On the opening day of the restaurant, Empress Dowager Cixi asked Li Lianying to send a gold plaque inscribed by her "the best dish in the world".
The first dish in the world is actually boiled cabbage. It is to cut the best Chinese cabbage into small pieces, throw it into boiling water, quickly scoop it up, then soak it in lukewarm chicken soup for 8 hours, so that they can fully absorb the nutrients and fragrance of chicken soup, then scoop it up, wash it off in boiling water, pour it into a purple casserole, add clean water and simmer slowly until it is almost done, quickly open the lid and sprinkle with chopped green onion, then cover it tightly, and eat it later.
Speaking of the first dish in the world, I think of the boiled cabbage at the state banquet. This water is not ordinary boiled water, but the broth is as pure as boiled water after being treated. Take the most tender center of the cabbage, puncture many small holes in it with a particularly fine silver needle, then put it on the colander, pour the cabbage over and over again with cooked broth until it is completely cooked, and finally put it out in a bowl. This dish has a sweet taste of remembering bitter thoughts, which is ordinary outside, but in fact it contains dried Kun.
