After Cixi imprisoned Guangxu in power, Empress Dowager Cixi was the master of all affairs in the imperial court. What followed was that the whole Qing Dynasty began to set off the extravagant wind. That kind of luxurious life is beyond our imagination. Luxury and luxury are reflected in all aspects. Of course, the food we eat every day is also very particular. It is said that Empress Dowager Cixi cooks more than 65,438+000 dishes a day. We all know that the literary inquisition in the Qing Dynasty was cruel, but the three dishes that Empress Dowager Cixi usually liked shocked us. Let's see how cruel it is, not only cruel, but also the most famous three-course dish in Qing Dynasty.
The first course is called boiled goose's feet. Everyone may have heard of this dish, but you can't imagine how it is made. The method of this dish is to put a cage in the air. There is a big goose in the cage, and there is a hot charcoal fire burning below. Then put a small dish of sauce next to the goose. When the goose is roasted to unbearable thirst, it will drink the sauce bit by bit in despair, and then wait for the goose to be burned to death bit by bit until it is cooked.
The second course is called Sichuan style pork. Although the name doesn't sound so cruel, you will know how cruel and unbearable it is. The practice of this dish is to send someone to hit the pig on the back at first. Pigs are living things, and they will naturally suffer. They will run away when they are in pain, and their muscles will be tense in the process of running away. Then they will chase the escaped pig with sticks in their hands, and those sticks will specially hit the pig's back until the pig can't run because its back is swollen, so they will arrest the pig and kill it, and then remove the meat from its back.
If the first two dishes will still be considered ok and not so cruel, then the most cruel third dish will appear. The name of the third course is Monkey Brain Suction. As the name implies, the practice is to fix the head of a live monkey on the table, then knock the monkey's head open and pour hot oil into it. When the monkey died, he struggled to resist, and finally dug out the brain marrow in the monkey's head with a spoon and ate it.
After the introduction of the three courses, everyone will have a better understanding of why the Qing Dynasty quickly perished. During the feudal period of the Qing dynasty, many terrible things were done. The so-called dignitaries in the court could do anything to satisfy their own selfish desires and gradually pushed the Qing dynasty to extinction. It is said that some places are still eating monkey brains. In fact, just looking at the name is horrible, let alone eating it.
