This delicacy is now well known to everyone, it is hot pot.

He Shen's original name was Niu Hulu Shanbao.

He was a minister during the Qianlong period and also a corrupt official.

It is said that Heshen embezzled the fiscal revenue of the Qing Dynasty for twenty years, equivalent to about 1.1 billion taels of silver.

His invention was hot pot.

The Qing court often held palace banquets, one of which was called the Thousands of Old Banquets.

When Kangxi was 60 years old, he held the first Qiansou Banquet in Changchun Garden.

During the Qianlong period, he had seen the unprecedented scene of his grandfather Kang holding a birthday banquet since he was a child, so he imitated Kangxi and held the Qiansou Banquet.

In the fiftieth year of Qianlong's reign, the world was at peace and the world was stable. It just so happened that Qianlong had a fifth generation grandson, so he decided to hold a banquet for thousands of old people in Qianqing Palace.

But hot pot actually existed a long time ago, but it was not used so frequently.

During the Western Han Dynasty, the utensils used by the princes and kings were not well known to ordinary people.

He Shen transformed it into a modern hot pot.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the development of hot pot reached a new height, and different regions formed hot pots with their own characteristics, such as the spicy hot pot in Sichuan and Chongqing and the old Beijing hot pot in Beijing.

Due to the development of the economy, many expensive and exquisite hot pots were produced during this period. Qianlong's hot pot was delicious. In order to show his hospitality, He Shen invited a famous chef to use a variety of precious ingredients to carefully prepare a hot pot dinner, which was called a luxury.
