In My First Half of Life, Puyi gave a detailed description of the royal dining: nothing consumes more manpower, material resources and financial resources than eating. There is a set of terms about the emperor's eating, which must not be wrong. A meal is called a meal, a meal is called a meal, and a meal is called a meal. When it's time to eat, it's entirely up to the emperor to decide-command: "Pass the meal!" " The little eunuch in front of him said to the eunuch in hall of mental cultivation, "Pass the meal!" Such a road passed down, and before the echo disappeared, a procession like a dowry had already walked out of the imperial kitchen. This is a team composed of dozens of well-dressed eunuchs, carrying seven dining tables, holding dozens of red lacquer boxes painted with golden dragons, and coming to hall of mental cultivation in a mighty way. Entering the Ming Temple, he was taken over by the little eunuch with white sleeves and set up in the East Nuange. There are two tables of dishes on weekdays and another table of hot pot in winter. In addition, there are all kinds of snacks, including three tables of rice, porridge and one table of pickles. The tableware is painted with dragon patterns and famous yellow porcelain with the words "Long life without borders", while in winter it is silverware. Drag it down to a porcelain jar filled with daily water. Every dish or bowl has a silver medal, which is designed to guard against poisoning, and for the same reason, the food must be tasted by a eunuch before it is sent, called the eating eunuch. After all these tasted things were arranged, before the emperor sat down, one eunuch shouted, "hit the bowl cover." The other little eunuchs removed the silver sign and the emperor began to eat.
