Qianlong cabbage is a story about two hosts quarreling over whether Qianlong cabbage is a cold dish.

This dish became popular because of a program "Traffic Light" on Tianjin Traffic Broadcasting. Two anchors got into an argument while discussing Beijing food. The male anchor slammed the door and left, leaving the female anchor alone to host the show.

The reason was that the topic of the program that day was "Beijing is not a food desert." However, after the audience pointed out that Beijing roast duck and fried tripe were not considered dishes, the male anchor successively denied that they were not considered dishes. Later, the audience left a message saying that Qianlong cabbage is finally a Beijing delicacy, and the male anchor continued

Saying this is a cold dish seems to prove that Beijing is a food desert.

The female anchor said: Why do you have to say something rude about everything?

The male anchor shouted angrily: I said Qianlong cabbage is a cold dish, but is it a bad thing?

!

Then he slammed the door and left.

Origin of Qianlong Cabbage It is said on the Internet that Qianlong Cabbage comes from the old shop "Duyichu" outside Qianmen, Beijing.

One time, Qianlong left the palace for a private visit. His mouth was dry and his tongue was dry. He happened to pass by this small restaurant and ate this cabbage. His mouth was filled with saliva and he was satisfied.

After returning to the palace, he was specially given a gold plaque and the words "Du Yi Chu" written in handwriting as a gift.

The restaurant also named this dish Qianlong Cabbage.

According to legend, Qianlong did come to this place, and the golden plaque was indeed written by the emperor. However, the emperor ate dried meat, minced meat, and horse lotus meat, and there was no mention of cabbage.

Sun Lixin, the "second uncle" of the famous food blogger "Lao Fangu", posted a video introducing this dish and clearly stated that "this dish was invented by our company."

According to Master Sun’s disciples, this dish was indeed produced in the same place in the capital, but it was only after the reform and opening up.

As for whether Du Yichu was attached to this name because of his connection with Qianlong, there is no way of knowing.
