"One of the origins of Huainan beef soup is the Qing # Qianlong # years. Zhang, a native of Hanlin, Huainan, studied herbal medicine and was good at cooking. He is a senior official of the palace and is deeply loved by the emperor. After retirement, I returned to my hometown and the beautiful bank of Huaihe River to pass on the secret recipe of Qing Palace to future generations.
Now it seems that I won't cook unless I come from the palace. In addition, there was no academician like Zhang Zheng in Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty.
Moreover, the slaughter of cattle was forbidden in the Qing Dynasty. How could the emperor take the lead in breaking the law and advocate eating beef?
The Great Qing Law stipulates that:
"Whoever butchers cattle and opens a private shop to sell butchers, the first offense is two months, and the staff is one hundred. If the crime is only heavier than this crime, it will be punished as a case of stealing cattle and exempted from the crime of stabbing to death. He will stop the staff for 100 miles, and he will charge nearby again. Those who slaughter their own cattle will be flogged in January with a rod of eighty. "
Is to kill their own cattle cangue for a month, the staff is responsible for 80. Who dares?
In fact, Huainan beef soup was actually brought by Hui people who settled in Huainan, which has been a mining city since modern times. After liberation, the workers in Huainan Coal Mine came from all over the country. As wage earners with higher incomes, they used to do business mainly as miners, so it is reasonable to have beef soup.
In my opinion, the real beef soup is only 40 years old.
I have seen scalpers slaughtered on the spot and boiled soup with big bones, but I have never seen any precious Chinese herbal medicines. If you count angelica dahurica and Amomum villosum, there is.
