As we all know, Yuan Shikai has a first wife and nine concubines. Food at home is supplied collectively through the big kitchen in the house. Each of his concubines also has his own small kitchen, and specially invited a famous chef 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 Guifei, the wife of five rooms, is deeply loved by Yuan Shikai, probably because Yang Guifei has excellent cooking skills and often makes some favorite foods for Yuan Shikai in different ways, 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 five-room Yang Guifei 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 after seeing it, which made Yuan Shikai's idea of becoming an emperor more firm.
Among them, Yuan Shikai's favorite dish at that banquet was "Presidential Duck". When writing this name, I must know that this dish is made of ducks, which is different from the ducks we eat every day. These ducks were personally fed in the palace, and antler and sorghum were added to the feed. Ducks who grow up eating these feeds are very energetic, and they will definitely put on makeup after eating them, which is very beneficial to Yuan Shikai and the wives at home.
There is also a dish that Yuan Shikai likes very much. It's called "Carp Baked Noodles". The carp in it are all 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 the capital. A good standard diet like Yuan Shikai must be satisfied by royal figures.
Besides, Yuan Shikai has a big appetite. How can he hide his appetite when eating with his family at home? If you eat on a formal occasion, you will certainly look very concerned about the world. Once at dinner, Yuan Shikai deliberately summoned the committee members, only to see him eating with 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 studying.
