Because although it looks like so many dishes, it is enough to eat a few dishes, so we look like the dishes of ancient kings are very good, but they are only superficial.

When the ancient emperors ate, the standard was 100 dishes, including all kinds of dishes, desserts, snacks, soups and so on. It was natural to eat so many meals at once. So the emperors at that time usually only ate two meals a day, usually one in the morning, one at noon and no meals at night. At other times, even if they eat, we often see them in the play. They all ate some cakes and snacks.

At that time, cooks were afraid to cut corners. They gave the emperor enough food and dared not neglect it, so they couldn't finish it. Finally, because I couldn't finish these meals, I changed 64 courses. But there are also many 64 dishes. Although there are so many dishes, the emperor often goes hungry, because besides using silver needles to test the poison, others have to try it, which wastes a lot of time.

It's been a long time since I tried so many dishes. Generally, emperors only eat the first few dishes, and the last few dishes will not move, because the first few dishes are enough to make them full, and it will be shameful to go to the back to eat the latter.
