What did New China eat at the First Banquet of the Founding of the People's Republic of China?
The main guests are more than 600 people, including leaders of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, senior generals of the People's Liberation Army of China, people from democratic parties and independents, celebrities from all walks of life, generals of the Kuomintang army uprising, representatives of ethnic minorities, workers and peasants and representatives of the People's Liberation Army. Beijing Hotel used to only cook western food, especially French food. The really big China banquet was held during the preparation of the first political consultative conference in People's Republic of China (PRC). At that time, in order to reconcile people's tastes, not only the hotel leaders took great pains, but even Yu Xinqing, director of the Ceremony Bureau of the Special Administration Council (now the State Council), personally took charge of the matter. Yu Xinqing is a protocol expert. He knows the catering industry in Beijing like the back of his hand. After discussing with Wang Ren, the hotel manager, Yu Xinqing thinks that among all the cuisines, Huaiyang cuisine has a moderate taste, which is acceptable to both northerners and southerners. So they decided to introduce Huaiyang cuisine from Yuhuatai. Yuhuatai is a famous Huaiyang dish in Beijing. Originally operated in Xila Hutong near Wangfujing, it has gathered a group of famous chefs. Yu Xinqing personally went to the door and did a lot of work before he invited several famous chefs such as Zhu Dianrong, Sun Jiufu, Wang Dukun and Yang Qirong. These famous chefs really live up to expectations. At a banquet of more than 30 people in the first CPPCC/KLOC-0, their dishes were widely praised by the delegates. This time, the first banquet of the founding of the People's Republic of China will naturally be hosted by these chefs. Yu Xinqing personally arranged the planning and implementation of the first banquet of the founding of the People's Republic of China. This recipe worthy of going down in history is that there are four kinds of cold dishes: spiced fish, fried chicken, stewed cucumber and meat; The first course: soup; Eight kinds of hot dishes: braised shark's fin, roasted four treasures, dry braised prawns, roast chicken, fresh mushroom cabbage, braised duck, braised carp and stewed lion's head. There are four kinds of snacks between the second and third hot dishes, the salty ones are: barbecued pork and spring rolls; Desserts include: bean paste buns and thousand-layer oil cakes. Snacks and cold dishes can be prepared first, and hot dishes must be ready for the table now. Holding a banquet is like playing a symphony at a banquet. There must be a general commander, who was called the banquet manager at that time and later the banquet designer. This position is held by Zheng Lianfu of Beijing Hotel. Later, he was the first to win the professional title of new China banquet designer, which can be described as the national treasure of the catering industry. The chef of the banquet is Zhu Dianrong. He was born in a family in Zhong Ding. He studied under a famous chef at the age of 14, and he has excellent skills in cooking and hosting banquets. Several other chefs are also skilled and unique. Sun Jiufu, for example, is called Sun Kuai Kuai Kuai. He not only works hard, but also moves quickly, and the snacks he makes are also very distinctive. His Huaiyang soup dumplings, ham and glutinous rice, are soft and delicious, and the soup is full and never breaks. He can cook as many as forty or fifty kinds of biscuits, such as Huangqiao biscuits, shredded radish biscuits, minced winter vegetables biscuits, braised oven biscuits and so on.
