In August of the 28th year of Guangxu reign, Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing and burned the Yuanmingyuan. Empress Dowager Cixi fled to xi 'an with Emperor Guangxu in the name of "Xi Shou". It is said that when he stopped to eat at the home of the 17-product county magistrate halfway, he fled in a hurry and told the county magistrate not to care too much and make it as soon as possible. After ordering this dish, the chef in the room takes fat mutton as the main ingredient, with other main and auxiliary materials and sauces, and stews it in one pot. After serving, the aroma is fragrant and the entrance is mouth-watering. After eating, the taste is unique and the taste is fragrant and tender. Cixi forgot her own situation at this time, and suddenly her spirit doubled and she was greatly grateful. She learned that this dish is "braised mutton" and claimed to recruit the chef into the royal chef.
After more than a year, Cixi returned to Beijing and settled down a little. Although foreigners are nervous, they have not forgotten to enjoy themselves. In fact, they ordered the chef from the county magistrate's office to be recruited to the Imperial Restaurant to make this stew for her to eat.
The chef's surname is Zhang in Fujian. Later, chef Zhang made use of the better dishes and utensils in the court, devoted himself to research and improvement, and constantly produced a variety of braised pot series dishes, which Cixi praised one by one after eating. It has gradually become an indispensable dish on the table of Cixi. One day, Cixi recommended this dish to Emperor Guangxu, and Guangxu was full of praise after eating it. It is listed as a royal banquet dish and named "Qipin Braised Pot".
