In fact, many plots echoed that there was a small kitchen in the harem of the Qing Dynasty. In the TV series "Zhen _ Biography", sweet cakes with lotus root starch, fragrant cakes with milk powder, and Dong 'e Ejiao longan soup all come from the skillful hands of chefs. The so-called kitchen is dedicated to providing food for the concubines in this palace. So what kind of existence does the small kitchen of the empresses have for the whole Forbidden City?

At first, the small kitchen did not belong to the institution formally established by the Forbidden City. Compared with the royal chef, it is not only much smaller in scope, but also basically belongs to the physical exception.
As we all know, the Imperial Chef is a right-track organization dedicated to serving as the royal food supply and supported by the emperor. The small kitchen is independent in each palace, and the concubines take out their own private houses to set it up. To put it bluntly, I am tired of eating the diet in the imperial kitchen and buy a small stove with my own money. Therefore, the dim sum dishes cooked in the small kitchen are generally suitable for this kind of palace princess's mouth and stomach.
In addition, the small kitchen has a main instinctive function, that is, it acts as an arsenal in the palace, specially assisting the queen who goes through fire and water. As the saying goes, "If you want to catch a man's heart, you must first catch a man's stomach." There are several delicious dishes in my palace that I can get rid of. The emperor would rather sit there! For example, in Zhen _ Zhuan, Hua Fei, dressed in gorgeous clothes, said charmingly, "Dong 'e Ejiao longan soup has just been cooked in the courtier's palace." It is estimated that it is difficult for any man to obey, let alone the son of heaven.
Of course, although a small kitchen has so many advantages, not every empresses can set up a private kitchen. As long as the concubines favored by the son of heaven or concubines with higher status can set up small kitchens, those concubines with lower status, or those who have only been favored by the son of heaven once or twice, have no impression at all, and basically do not enjoy this reward.
When it comes to the fact that the Qing emperors allowed concubines to own small kitchens, the most famous one is Rong Fei (the prototype of ChristianRandPhillips) of the Qianlong emperor.
Rong Fei and Zhuoshi are the only two Uighur concubines in Qianlong's harem. Gan Long met her at a court banquet for Ali and Zhuo, and named her Zhu Zi. She was placed in the harem. From then on, he became a holy relative with Zhuo's family, and was promoted from Zhu Zijin to a concubine, and then he was named a princess.
In order to alleviate Hezhuo's homesickness, Qianlong not only allowed her to wear Uighur clothes in the palace, but also allowed her to set up a small kitchen to cook southern Xinjiang dishes for her. This shows the significance of the existence of a small kitchen, which not only helps concubines meet the emperor, but also means the emperor's love for concubines.
Tired of watching, watching a joke makes you happy and relaxed.
The routine is deep, who is serious.
The fox was foraging in the forest and saw a crow standing in a tree with a piece of meat in its mouth. It wants to eat meat, so it says to the crow, "Dear crow, I think you must sing very well!" " "The crow sang happily when he heard this, and the meat in his mouth fell to the ground. The fox bent down happily to pick it up. A tiger emerged from the grass behind him and untied his belt: "You are a snack, and you can't be cured without care." "
