Ganlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River and ate local delicacies. Eunuchs are afraid of success. When they go back to the palace for dinner, they can't make the emperor angry. So we can only put a spoonful of sugar into the dish, so that the dried dragon is too tired to eat.

Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty loved to visit the south of the Yangtze River. I heard that the food of Yangzhou salt merchants was delicious. So in Jiangnan, salt merchants carefully prepared a big table for him, but Gan Long ate it but didn't respond. The salt merchant was surprised and asked the eunuch. The eunuch said, "You are used to eating, but you still want to eat when you go back to the palace. There is nothing we can do, so we all put a spoonful of sugar." If you do this, you won't taste anything delicious.

In fact, the cooks in the palace can do it, but in the palace, the cooks' cooking skills are limited. Everything is done by the rules. How many things to put in a dish and what seasonings to put in it must be recorded, so the chef can only do it according to the recipe, not according to his own meaning and feelings. So even the top chef can't play his top level. Therefore, the emperor can't eat the most delicious food.

The emperor can't eat delicious food because there are too many rules in the palace. The emperor is very particular about eating. He can't start eating until all the dishes are served and set. This kind of food is definitely not as delicious as the one just cooked. By the time the emperor ate it, this dish had passed its best moment. In the palace, the emperor can't eat as much as he wants when he meets his favorite dishes, because he is afraid that people will know what dishes the emperor likes and poison him, so the emperor can only eat one bite of everything.
