It is said that when Kangxi chatted with ministers, it was already noon, because the two sides were very engaged in chatting. So Kangxi asked the minister, "What? What does Ai Qing usually eat at noon? " As a courtier, I naturally dare not say that I ate too well, so a minister said, "We usually eat vegetables and tofu, and sometimes we eat wowotou. Almost three copper coins are enough. "
Kangxi was taken aback. After all, as a monarch, he usually eats delicacies, and in any case he has to exceed three coppers. Kangxi thought at that time that since ministers could have lunch for three coppers, I would try it, so he told the kitchen to eat Wowotou in the future.
Kangxi usually ate some delicious food, but suddenly he began to eat Wowotou, which was still delicious, so he ate it for seven days in a row. Kangxi thought at that time that eating three coppers a day was 2/kloc-0 coppers for seven days, so the money was definitely less than last month.
As a result, Kangxi looked at the expenditure of the chef and found that it was not less, but much more than last month. So I called the manager of the chef to ask, and after asking, I found that the corn steamed bread I ate was still different from others. Wowotou eaten by others is made of whole grains, while Wowotou eaten by oneself is ground with the best ingredients selected by the royal chef, and in order to achieve the best taste of Wowotou, the chefs are constantly studying it, so they waste a lot of ingredients and finally give the most beautiful Wowotou to the princess.
As the king of a country, even if he is as frugal as a civilian, the following people naturally dare not offend Rowen, and will naturally present the best to the monarch. So Kangxi ate corn for seven days, not only failed to save money, but also made a mess of the chef.
