History and culture of imperial concubine chicken
It is said that Li Longji, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, indulged in debauchery all day long after he married Yang Yuhuan, and did not ask about politics. One day, they were drinking and having fun in Baihua Pavilion. Yang Yuhuan looked excited and shouted, "I want to fly to the sky! I want to fly to heaven! " Li Longji mistakenly thought that Yang Guifei wanted to eat "flying to the sky", so he ordered the chef to serve this dish quickly.
After listening to the chef, the second monk was at a loss. He had never heard of "flying to heaven". What should he do? The emperor's words are as good as his word. He said that there is something, and no one dares to say "no". Everyone was in a hurry and didn't know what to do.
At this time, a Suzhou cook named Su Shoutou used his quick wits. He said that cooking a dish with chicken wings is just "flying into the sky". After listening, everyone agreed, so they used a few chicken wings to stew with mushrooms and winter bamboo shoots. As a result, the dishes are full of color, fragrance, taste and shape.
When the food was served, Yang Guifei's wine had awakened a lot. She put a piece of "flying to the sky" in her mouth, feeling refreshed and fragrant, and repeatedly praised: "Delicious! Delicious! Delicious! "
Li Longji also took a piece and asked the eunuch around him, "What's the name of this dish?" The eunuch replied, "Isn't this what your majesty ordered the imperial kitchen to do?" Li Longji immediately realized his drunken gaffes and had to smile awkwardly.
