I. Rewards
The emperor's leftovers are usually given to concubines, children, ministers and so on. However, the food given is definitely not eaten by the emperor himself, but has never been eaten. This is not for sanitary reasons, because it is a eunuch who picks dishes for the emperor and uses public chopsticks, which is very sanitary. This is a strict confidentiality rule of the royal family. Most of the emperors who were killed were poisoned. Therefore, the food eaten by the emperor is also confidential, and outsiders must never know what the emperor likes to eat.
Dining Bottom File is a court document that records the emperor's diet. Everything is recorded in detail, but what the emperor likes to eat can never be recorded, and the emperor will never say what he likes to eat or what he wants to eat today. Eunuchs and palace staff who serve meals are not allowed to talk casually, which is a taboo in the palace. Those who casually talk about or disclose the emperor's dining situation will be held accountable, and those who are serious will be beheaded.
Without the will of the emperor, no one, including the queen, can eat with the emperor. So, first of all, the chef has to change the pattern every day, and rarely cooks a dish many times. Second, the food eaten by the emperor is generally not given to others.
Second, treat it as waste.
According to the rules, eunuchs and maids must not eat the leftovers of the emperor. The emperor's leftovers can only be used as swill, thrown away or fed to pigs. During the period of Puyi, the Manchu Dynasty collapsed and the palace was in chaos. Some eunuchs even steal Puyi's food and sell it to foreign diners when dealing with swill, which is called imperial food. This is naturally illegal, and once the eunuch is found, it will be over. To put it bluntly, selling this dish can't turn a few dollars, which shows the eunuch's attitude of treating money like life.
