According to legend, after putting down the rebellion, Emperor Qianlong grabbed the wife of a Uighur leader in Xinjiang to be a concubine, that is, a fragrant princess. After ChristianRandPhillips was robbed, she didn't think about tea and rice day and night, worrying about Gan Long. The chef showed off his cooking skills, but ChristianRandPhillips didn't even look at it. Ganlong had to order the White Hat Camp to make hometown snacks for ChristianRandPhillips and send them to the palace.

On the other hand, after ChristianRandPhillips was robbed into the palace, ChristianRandPhillips's husband came to Beijing from Xinjiang, hiding in the White Hat Camp and trying to find out the whereabouts of ChristianRandPhillips. When he heard that the emperor ordered the people in White Hat Camp to cook the best food in their hometown and send it to the palace.

ChristianRandPhillips's husband knew this was the best opportunity to contact ChristianRandPhillips, so he made a rice ball. This method of making dumplings is very special, only he can make them, so as long as ChristianRandPhillips sees this dumpling, she will know that it is her husband.

When Jiang Mi jiaozi was sent to the palace, the eunuch asked him what his name was. He thought his surname was "Ahmed", so he used his quick wits and blurted out: "It's called Aiwowo". ChristianRandPhillips knew her husband was coming as soon as she saw Aiwowo, and she was very sad. She picked up an Aiwowo and took a bite ... Gan Long was very happy when she heard that ChristianRandPhillips had eaten it, so she decided to let Ahmed of White Hat Camp make Aiwowo and send it to the palace every day. From then on, Aiwowo became famous and later spread to the people.

Rolling donkeys, Beijing snacks

It is said that once, Empress Dowager Cixi was tired of the food in the palace and wanted to taste something new. So, the chef of imperial cuisine thought about it and decided to make a new dish with rice noodles wrapped in red bean paste. As soon as the new dish was ready, a eunuch named Xiao Lv came to the chef. Who knows that Xiao Lv accidentally knocked the newly cooked new dish into a basin full of soybeans, and the chef was worried, but it was too late to do it again. No choice, the chef had to bite the bullet and present this dish to Cixi.

As soon as Empress Dowager Cixi ate it, she thought it tasted good and asked the chef, "What's the name of this thing?" The cook thought it was all done by the eunuch named Xiao Lv, so he said to Empress Dowager Cixi, "This is called snowballing." As a result, snowballing, one of the famous snacks in China, was born.

Unique place

Dudu Steamed Dumpling House was built in Qianlong three years (AD 1738). Its original name is "Wang Ji Brewery", and it is a humble shop. However, on the Lunar New Year's Eve in the seventeenth year of Qianlong, families got together and many shops closed early. Only the Wang Ji Hotel is still open.

At this time, three servants and servants came in the shop, neatly dressed and handsome; One of the guests asked, "What's the name of your shop?" The shopkeeper replied, "This shop has no name." The guest gave birth to some feelings: "It is still open at this time, and you are the only one in Kyoto. Let's call it' all in one'. "

A few days later, several eunuchs sent a "Du Yi" tiger tag and told the shopkeeper that the guest was Emperor Qianlong. Since then, "Wang Ji Brewery" has been renamed as "Du Yi".

Quanjude

It turns out that "Quanjude", formerly known as "Dejuquan", is a shop selling dried and fresh fruits on Qianmen Street. Due to bad business, it finally closed down.

In the third year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty, Yang, a hawker who sold raw chickens and ducks for a living, bought this store and started to operate roast ducks and roasted meat. Before opening the store, a Feng Shui gentleman said, "This is a treasure trove of Feng Shui, and its future is limitless. It's just that this store was unlucky in the past. If you want to deal with it, you must reverse the old font name of Dejuquan and call it Quanjude. "

Yang Renquan knew at once that he was right. Coupled with the sincerity of the shopkeeper in the future, the old brand "Quanjude" was born.

Stewed pig offal

In the forty-five years of Qianlong (1780), the emperor made a southern tour and stayed at Chen Yuanlong's home in Yangzhou An Lan Garden. The dishes cooked by Chen's chef Zhang Dongguan are very popular with Qianlong. Later, Zhang Dongguan entered the palace with Qianlong. Knowing that Qianlong loved thick food, he cooked a meat dish with pork belly and nine spices such as clove, cinnamon, licorice, Amomum villosum, cinnamon, nutmeg and cinnamon, and later named it "Su Jujube Meat."

Later, this dish slowly spread to the people. In the old society, "Suzhou-made meat" cooked with pork belly was too expensive for ordinary people to eat, so he replaced pork belly with cheap pork head and cooked with cheaper pigs. I didn't expect to get it right, and I created a delicious food handed down from generation to generation out of control. This is something we will be familiar with in the future.

wang zhihe

One day during the Tongzhi period, An Dehai, the eunuch who was favored by Empress Dowager Cixi, went out of the palace to do business, passed by the "Wang Zhihe South Sauce Garden" and curiously bought a piece to taste. Although it smells a little smelly, it tastes special.

So An Dehai took it back to the palace and presented it to Empress Dowager Cixi. Cixi picked up chopsticks and tried to put some in her mouth. She said, "Stop it, the taste is really unusual …" Unconsciously, she ate two pieces in this dinner.

Then ask An Dehai what's the name of this food? An Dehai called it "stinky tofu", and Empress Dowager Cixi shook her head and said the name was indecent. She saw that the food was square and blue, so she named it "Fang Yuqing" and included it in the royal cookbook, and served it at the right time.

Yueshengzhai

In October of the 12th year of Guangxu (1886), Empress Dowager Cixi celebrated her birthday, and the Qing and Wu dynasties searched around for rare treasures to prepare birthday presents. A minister thought, "What birthday present should I give lafayette? There are countless treasures in the palace, which have long been stale. I have to send a unique birthday present! "

So, he specially came to Yueshengzhai, prepared a beautifully packaged gift box, tied it with a ribbon "I wish the Queen Mother a long life" and gave it to Lafayette.

Never thought, empress dowager cixi tasted the sauce meat of Yueshengzhai and praised it greatly. She specially gave "Yueshengzhai" four "waist tags" as proof of going out and entering the palace. Every other day, "Yueshengzhai" will send special sauce meat to the royal chef.

Yitiaolong restaurant

One day at the end of spring in the 23rd year of Guangxu (A.D. 1897), two customers came to Nanhengshun. One is like a master in his twenties, and the other is like a servant in his forties. After eating the meat, he had no money to pay the bill. Korean shopkeeper saw that these two people didn't look like people who had eaten, so he smiled and said, "Never mind, you two go! When is it convenient to bring it? "

Unexpectedly, a little eunuch in the palace sent the money the next day, and then everyone knew that the young man was Emperor Guangxu yesterday. Korean shopkeepers immediately dedicated the stools and used hot pots made by the emperor yesterday as "treasures". Wrap it in yellow silk and don't let others use it again.

Therefore, the story of a "dragon" (the emperor used to call it a dragon) eating in Nanhengshun quickly spread in Beijing, and people called Nanhengshun a "dragon" ...

Bianyifang roast duck

In A.D. 1552 (the 30th year of Ming Jiajing), Yang Jisheng, then the minister of war (equivalent to the current deputy minister of national defense), severely impeached the traitor Yan Song in the court, but was framed by Yan Song. One day I came to Mishi Hutong and saw a small shop full of fragrance, so I went into the store and took a seat. I ordered roast duck and some dining tables. The shopkeeper respected his integrity and received him personally.

Yang Jisheng has long forgotten his unhappiness and sighed: "This store is really convenient, very pleasant and worth the money!" When I learned that this shop was called "Cheap Shop", I bent over and wrote three big characters "Cheap Shop" on the case!

Yang Jisheng was framed to death by Yan Song. Yan Song asked the owner of the cheap shop to take down the plaque, but the owner refused. After Yan Song sent someone to forcibly remove the plaque, the boss was beaten to vomit blood while protecting the plaque. Yan Song gave up and the cheap square became famous. ...

Yang Yan steamed bun

According to legend, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty went out of the front door incognito and tasted the sheep's eye steamed buns of the Hui people. Emperor Kangxi walked into the mutton steamed stuffed bun shop. After greeting Emperor Kangxi, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of being annoyed. I have never tasted the delicious food in the palace, but I am too young to be filial. "

Kangxi knew that his identity had been discovered, but he still wanted to eat steamed buns. The shopkeeper had to do so. Emperor Kangxi put one on a plate with chopsticks and observed it carefully. I just felt the fragrance. When I put it in my mouth, it was delicious and the texture was unusual.

However, Emperor Kangxi looked around and didn't see the "sheep eye", so he asked the shopkeeper, "Why can't you see the sheep eye?" The shopkeeper quickly replied, "If you come back, the stuffing is not sheep's eye, but it is made more carefully and the size of the bag is smaller, just like sheep's eye, so it is named' sheep's eye steamed stuffed bun'."

Kangxi tasted two and found them very delicious, so he ordered them to be sent to the palace often. From then on, Yang Yaner's steamed stuffed bun became famous in Beijing. Therefore, Muslims all over the four cities make sheep's eye buns, which have become Muslims' favorite food.

Bean rolls and pea yellow

It is said that one day Cixi was sitting in the meditation room in Beihai, and suddenly she heard the sound of gongs and shouts from the street. She was confused and asked what she was doing. The eunuch on duty reported that she sold pea yellow and kidney rolls.

Cixi was happy for a while and sent someone to call the man into the garden. When the stall owner saw Galeries Lafayette, he quickly knelt down with kidney rolls and pea yellow in his hand. Please come to lafayette. Cixi was full of praise after tasting it, and left this person in the palace to make pea yellow and kidney bean rolls for her.
