Life in ancient times was like a pyramid. Those who have power live at the top of the pyramid. Their life is extremely extravagant and wasteful, and they always suppress and exploit the people below. Otherwise, where there is oppression, there is resistance. Cixi has to undergo strict training every time she eats, because she has to be extremely respectful and solemn. After the Empress Dowager Cixi finished her meal, she had to serve a whole hundred dishes, two meals a day, plus two "dim sum" dishes, at least twenty bowls, usually about forty or fifty bowls.
Cixi eats two meals a day. Dinner is divided into breakfast and dinner. Breakfast time is 7: 00 -9: 00 am, dinner time is 65438+ 0: 00 -3: 00 pm, and snack time is about 6: 00 pm. This is a fixed meal.
The most luxurious buffet is unique in the world! As a sign, the eunuch around him immediately understood the meaning of Lafayette and brought this dish to her. Under normal circumstances, Empress Dowager Cixi can only eat one chopstick. If it tastes good, she will eat one or two more dishes. She has to serve 150 kinds of dishes at a time, and each eunuch serves 6 dishes, which takes about 25 eunuchs. In addition, there are two small tables of various fruits, plus eunuchs who set tables and chairs for meals, totaling no less than 50 people, which can now be converted into RMB 100. It is estimated that Cixi spends 2 million to 8 million yuan on a meal a day. The treasury of the Qing dynasty was probably used for eating, pathetic! The rest of the dishes are all ours, saying that they are leftovers, but basically the chopsticks have not been moved, just like the sacrificial dishes removed during ancestor worship.
