As we all know, Yuan Shikai has a first wife and nine concubines. The food at home is supplied collectively through the big kitchen at home. Each of his concubines also has his own small kitchen, and he specially invited famous chefs to cook some delicious food with only one purpose, that is, to please Yuan Shikai. They also have their own unique skills, including three concubines from North Korea, and natural kimchi can also be used as the government's home cooking.
Among these concubines, Yang, the wife of five rooms, is deeply loved by Yuan Shikai, probably because Yang is a superb cook and often cooks some dishes that Yuan Shikai likes to eat in a different way, which proves that "grasping a man's stomach can grasp a man's heart", which makes Yuan Shikai very happy.
19 15 years, Yuan Shikai had the idea of being an emperor and thought about it every day. This influenced his eldest son Yuan Dingke, who wanted to be a prince. On Yuan Shikai's birthday, the eldest son specially asked Wu Fang Yang to prepare a special banquet. According to records, at the banquet that day, there was a golden dragon with five claws made of flour on every dish. It is dexterous and vivid, and Yuan Shikai was very excited to see it, which strengthened Yuan Shikai's idea of becoming an emperor.
Among them, Yuan Shikai's favorite dish at that banquet was "Presidential Duck". When writing this name, we must know that this dish is made of ducks, which is different from the ducks we eat every day. These ducks are personally fed by the palace, and the feed is crushed with velvet before adding sorghum. Ducks who grow up eating these feeds are very energetic, and they will definitely make up for it, which is very good for Yuan Shikai and his wives at home.
There is another dish that Yuan Shikai likes very much. It's called "Carp Grilled Noodles". The carp in it is the best Yellow River carp. In order to eat fresh, carp caught from the Yellow River are specially put in lard and then transported to Beijing. A good standard diet like Yuan Shikai must be available to royalty.
Besides, Yuan Shikai has a big appetite. How can he hide his appetite when he eats with his family in his own home? If you eat on a formal occasion, it will definitely show that you care about the world. Once when having a meal, Yuan Shikai deliberately summoned the committee member and saw him eating a small bowl of porridge, a fish and a small bottle of seasoning. After seeing it, the cabinet members said that the simplicity of the president's life is worth learning.
