the word "eating goods" is popular now. What is eating goods? Generally refers to people who have a soft spot for food. More advanced, it is often accompanied by expressing emotions after tasting delicious food, such as crying, having no friends and eating the taste of first love. However, the title of "eating goods" did not rise today. If you turn over the ancient chapters, there are many people. For example, Yan Song, the powerful minister of the Ming Dynasty, was one of them. Yan Song's reputation can be summed up in three words in history: terrible. Despite his bad reputation, Comrade Yan Song has always been tireless in his pursuit of good food. According to historical records, Comrade Yan Song has countless tableware and light chopsticks at home, and the materials and tastes are very high-grade, including gold, silver, ivory, tortoise shell, agate, jade, ebony, lacquerware and so on. In modern terms, the chopsticks used by Yan's family can circle the earth seven times if they are connected together. On holidays, Yan Song will invite some celebrities to give a big banquet, and then invite some friends from the literary circle to make comments on the treasures in the government.
It is interesting that people like Yan Song always seem to meet in ancient dynasties. For example, Cai Jing, the powerful minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, is the best. Of course, the evaluation of Cai Jing in history is equally bad. However, he eats in a variety of ways. In Caijing's exclusive private kitchen, there are dozens of people in Everbright Kitchen. As for serving my sister, there are countless and clear division of labor. Some are responsible for shredding onions, some are responsible for nourishing food, and some are responsible for serving tea and water. However, most of the people invited to the dinner in Cai Jing Mansion enjoyed the supreme VIP treatment. According to historical data, after a feast with banquet officials, one of them went back to Weibo and lamented that Cai Xiang was domineering, and the crab yellow steamed bread alone cost 1,311 yuan. As for Cai Jing's own diet, he is also very particular. Because he prefers quail soup, he kills hundreds of quails for every bowl he eats.
if we push the times forward, there will still be such luxury food. For example, it was recorded in the year of Jin Shu. At that time, there was a senior official in the Western Jin Dynasty named Ji Wang, who was also a famous gourmet. On one occasion, the then emperor Sima Yan came to Wang Ji's home for dinner. When the emperor comes, be careful. Of course, this is not a problem for Ji Wang at all. So, a table of delicious food was served. As for all kinds of food utensils, they are also very exquisite, all carved with gold and jade. Sima Yan himself is very particular about food and drink. After tasting it, he praised it. During the dinner, he tasted You Mei's crock steamed vegetables, so he asked, how can this dish be steamed? Wang smiled and said, this is just a common practice, steamed with human milk. It can be seen that most of the ancient foodies were high officials and rich people, and most of them were extravagant.
how about it? Seeing these high-end foodies, some young people who drink cat excrement coffee, eat western-style desserts and then take out their mobile phones to test drugs and send them to Weibo should not have the courage to claim to be foodies, right? Not really. Yan Song, a corrupt foodie, never occupied a minority in ancient times, but it was not all. After all, human pursuit of food is by no means measurable by money. For example, the one below is not rich or expensive. He only got a dead salary in the imperial court, but he is also an out-and-out foodie. This man is very famous. His name is Ji Xiaolan.
This man, Ji Xiaolan, is generally described as an elegant gifted scholar in many literary works, but his diet style is really not elegant. As for his reputation in the foodie world, the record is similar: he eats dozens of pounds of meat every day and hasn't eaten a grain all day. What a strange man! He eats meat without a grain of rice. What do you mean? Is Ji Xiaolan prefer to eat braised pork, even to the point of not eating meat. As for rice, the staple food we often say, he doesn't touch it at all. No? Talent is willfulness. It's just that our comrade Ji Xiaolan took a bite of oil and changed the Siku Quanshu in a literary way. Such a scene is also quite funny.
However, this story of eating vegetables may sometimes lead to murder. For example, there is such a record in the historical records that there was a famous gourmet named Zi Gong in the State of Zheng in the Spring and Autumn Period. This buddy has been in the food industry for a long time, but he has actually developed a special function, that is, whenever he feels a feast, his index finger will move. One day, Zi Gong wrote in the Weibo: The next day, if you move your fingers, you will eat foreign objects. Sure enough, a few days later, Zheng held a tasting of American food, the theme of which was "squid soup". Zigong, as a senior foodie, was naturally invited. However, at the banquet, Zheng intended to play the role of this gourmet. Everyone present had a soup, but Zi Gong didn't. Now, Zigong is angry: eat with dignity. Zheng, how can I mix in the food industry in the future? So I strolled forward, dipped my finger in the soup, licked it, took a selfie and posted it on Weibo. It's really delicious. Then he left.
of course, the story is not over yet. My father-in-law made a scene at the banquet. Is this a complete humiliation of the leader? Zheng Gongling was very angry and decided to give Zi Gong some color to see. However, Zi Gong is not easy to mess with, so he will start first and turn against him. Therefore, there are historical records: Zi Gong seeks the first place and kills Ling Gong. You see, if you eat it, you will enjoy it, and if you joke, you will make fun of it. If you get mixed up, you will be killed. Interestingly, about the murder caused by eating, and. Next is the famous Qi Huangong Xiaobai.
As we all know, Qi Huangong is the leader of the Five Commandments in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he is quite bullish. However, our little white comrade is old and getting old. Of course, at this time, we should affectionately call him Lao Bai. This old white man, standing on a high platform, watched people coming and going under his feet, sighed and sent a Weibo: I have never experienced any storms in my life. What scenery have you never seen? What delicious food have you not eaten? No regrets in this life! It's just that I heard that human flesh is delicious, so let it be. There happened to be a chef named Yi Ya in Qi, who was bent on squeezing into the civil service, but he couldn't help but see the news of Weibo. Seeing this was an opportunity, he immediately made a bowl of broth and submitted it to Qi Huangong.
Qi Huangong drank the broth and found it delicious. He patted Yiya on the shoulder and said, OK, OK. I didn't think about this shot, and Yi Ya shed tears. Qi Huangong was curious and asked why. Tao, Yi Ya, I see that you recently wanted to eat some human flesh in Weibo, so you cooked your three-year-old children and put them in the meat soup. Qi Huangong faint voice, looking at his hand, turned out to be full of moved, so a wave of his hand, came to my side to do something. In this way, Yi Ya changed from a chef to a powerful minister.
However, is Yi Ya really a loyal person? The answer is naturally no. However, we in Qi Huangong finally have to pay the price, because we occasionally deviate from the inspiration in the way we eat food. Yiya used her lethargy in her later years to form a clique, which made Qi's politics a mess. When Qi Huangong was seriously ill, all the forces under his leadership won the leadership of the country and declared war on each other. Qi Huangong's generation, however, was neglected and dying, but they could not taste a mouthful of hot porridge and starved to death on their deathbed, which was terrible.
