Ancient emperors had to have a set of aristocratic etiquette before eating, which was recorded in historical books. There were 22 catering departments in the Zhou Dynasty, including 2 124 slaves and 208 officials, that is, 2,332 staff. In addition, there are more than 120 different foods on Zhou's menu, and each meal is equipped with at least 26 kinds of food for Zhou to enjoy.
When Zhou Wang eats, there are staff members who are busy, accompanied by attendants and concubines. Most importantly, there is a big band to accompany you all the way. So luxurious is to let the emperor enjoy the food in a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere.
In an era when pork can't be eaten, do you want to eat better than the ancient emperor? Is there a pig farm or a mine at home, or did Fish Leong give you the courage to compete with the emperor for food?
As we all know, in feudal society, the emperor was the ninth five-year plan. The life of the ancient emperor was very luxurious. It can be said that the emperor uses it best, his wife is the most beautiful and the food is the most fragrant!
The emperor is a bearer of negative hands, with sideburns and knife-shaped eyebrows, phoenix eyes, imposing manner, prominent head, thin temperament, dashing charm, graceful demeanor and Zhan Ran spirit. He is seven feet eight inches long, with beautiful writing and graceful demeanor, while civil engineering is a mess and he doesn't decorate himself. People think dragons are elegant and natural. How can an ordinary person like you be shorter than the emperor!
Now no one eats better than ordinary people in ancient times. There is a simple reason. Modern people eat a mutated food chain. There is no absolutely safe food, fake and shoddy food enriches the market, and there is almost no food without chemical additives; In this respect, the ancients ate absolutely pure natural and pollution-free green food, even the food eaten by billionaires now dare not say that it is absolutely safe, because the means of counterfeiting is so clever that it has reached the realm of confusing the real with the fake.
Chemical hormones, pesticides, preservatives, covering fruits and vegetables, chicken, duck, fish, rice and oil tea, and even traditional Chinese medicine preparations, are all-encompassing, but human beings are numb, used to it, and are not surprised. Thinking of this, I really envy the primitive lifestyle of the ancients.
If you want to compare with the ancient emperor, it depends on when. If it was the Yao, Shun and Yu era, it would definitely not be as good as us. At that time, it was semi-nomadic, semi-fishing, semi-farming, and relying on the sky to eat. Most importantly, it was evenly distributed. The emperor (leader) and ordinary civilians eat almost the same. The staple food is generally millet, eating meat or luck. If you are lucky, you will be caught hunting.
But since the Xia dynasty, the emperor's food is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties are the times when absolute monarchy began to strengthen in the history of China. Until the Qin dynasty unified the world and established the emperor system, the emperor became the supreme ruler in the world, with supreme rights, eating the best food and using the best items in the world. Even today's ordinary people can't compare at all.
