It is said that this chicken eaten by Cixi is not an ordinary chicken, but a kind of chicken called Babao Royal Chicken, which is a chicken fed with eight precious medicinal materials, so each chicken is valuable. And the chicken that Cixi ate, whether it was the imperial eight treasures or not, was worth 5,2 yuan. Luxury hostess

As we all know, the most famous woman in the Qing Dynasty is Cixi. After all, a woman in the harem has gone from the harem to the former dynasty, which is the only special case under the iron law that women in the harem of the Qing Dynasty are not allowed to intervene in politics. Besides, Cixi walked into the former dynasty when she walked into the former dynasty, and the Qing Empire was completely destroyed, so it was difficult for her not to be famous.

What she is more famous for is the luxury during her reign, which makes the Qianlong Imperial City, which has always been known as a local tyrant in the Qing Dynasty, somewhat ashamed. It is said that Cixi is extremely luxurious in daily food and drink. Her meal is the money spent by ordinary people for a lifetime. Her birthday is the cost of beiyang fleet in the Qing Dynasty for one year, and there are countless treasures buried with her, which is rich enough. In short, Cixi is synonymous with luxury, but whatever she has used and eaten is not a sky-high price, and she is sorry for her status as the empress dowager. The road to escape

Cixi, who used to live in the Forbidden City, is expected to be so luxurious all her life. Unfortunately, when Eight-Nation Alliance's army hit the capital, Cixi's good days had to be suspended. After that, Cixi took Guangxu Emperor and countless royal families and began the bitter days of fleeing to the west.

You should know that at that time, the Qing Empire was not only the ruined capital occupied by foreigners, but the whole of China was in dire straits. That is to say, Cixi escaped from the capital, but was only temporarily away from the gunfire of foreigners, and the road to the west was also ruthlessly exploited by western invaders and the Qing Empire. Not to mention the prosperity, it would be good to have a decent mansion to receive Cixi and her party, not to mention the luxury of Cixi's daily life.

So Cixi fled to the west, which was called a mess. It is said that Cixi once passed through many remote areas and wanted to find a Qing official to receive herself, but no one was found, and there was no food. The party was tired, hungry and caught in a heavy rain. Finally, several eunuchs did not know where to find a hard steamed bun and gave it to Cixi. Although this is a huge difference from Cixi's previous eating standards, Cixi ate with relish and was very happy. Jinfeng lies in the snow

It was not until Cixi fled to a place like Datong that her daily living standard gradually improved. After all, it is rare for Cixi to condescend to come to a small place, so that officials in these small places can have a chance to show off. If she can make Cixi happy, maybe she will be promoted to a higher rank and become a knight in the future, and she will develop all the way from now on. Qi Futian, the magistrate of Datong, was such an enlightened official, so people waited for Cixi's arrival in the local area early and tried their best to please Cixi.

Of course, no matter what good things Qi Futian prepared for Cixi, according to his ability as a magistrate in a small place, he certainly can't reach Cixi's luxury in the Forbidden City, but he is better than fleeing on Cixi Road, suffering a lot, and his requirements for food and drink have dropped a lot, which has made many officials see opportunities for performance. Qi Futian thought of entertaining Cixi with a famous local dish, which is called Feng Pawo.

Actually, it's just a delicious dish made of chicken. Because this local dish is very delicious, it's very famous. When Qi Futian found a famous local restaurant and asked them to cook this dish for Cixi to enjoy, Qi Futian was worried that ordinary chicken might not be able to eat, so he asked the cook to use eight treasures of royal chicken as the material.

The so-called eight-treasure royal chicken is a chicken fattened with eight extremely precious ingredients, such as antler, ginseng, bird's nest and ganoderma lucidum. It is said that the meat is delicious. Qi Futian thought that if Cixi ate a local famous dish made of eight-treasure royal chicken, she would definitely have a good time. After all, the best ingredients, with the best famous dishes, how could it not be delicious? Unfortunately, Qi Futian is full of ideas, but the reality is very skinny.

The cook did eat these precious ingredients for the local chickens as Qi Futian said, but somehow, these chickens were all dead, and the cook was afraid to tell the truth in line with Futian, but he couldn't come up with the eight treasures of royal chicken that Qi Futian wanted, so he simply made this dish for Cixi with local chickens.

Of course, Qi Futian still put his mind to it. His many years of courtiers' career made him feel that the name of the dish Feng Pawo was somewhat ironic to Cixi, so people had a brainwave and renamed it Jinfeng Woxue. Maybe it's because the name of this dish is very satisfying to Cixi, or maybe it's because Cixi had a hard time escaping to the west. In short, she was eating happily, and then Qi Futian really got the respect of Cixi, and her career was prosperous all the way.

And Qi Futian gave the restaurant this famous dish as much as 5,2 yuan. Of course, he paid according to the price of the eight-treasure royal chicken, but what he didn't know was that Cixi ate only a local native chicken, but because Cixi ate happily, the native chicken became the value of the eight-treasure royal chicken. It can be seen that it is not important what kind of chicken Cixi eats. What is important is that the chicken Cixi eats is worth 5,2 silver.
