Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

……

The food during the Tang and Song dynasties was not only of high quality but also of great variety and included many precious ingredients.

Although due to transportation and preservation limitations.

As a result, it was no longer as easy as it is now to eat food from all over the country.

But with the limited variety of existing ingredients.

The quality has been greatly improved.

It can also achieve freedom for hairy crabs.

Many netizens shed tears of envy.

Song Huizong also said proudly:
"See? The food in the Song Dynasty under my rule is so good!"

"Even the netizens in later generations who are so advanced have to envy me!"

"I really didn't expect that."

"The ordinary people of our Song Dynasty eat better than the ordinary netizens of later generations, hehe!"

The sky continues.

[Next we will introduce the Ming and Qing dynasties. ]

Qing Dynasty.

Qianlong thought of the sumptuous food he ate every day.

He said again with great confidence:
"Although Tianmu said that I am perfect... Lao Deng is a perfect old dog."

"But I feed hundreds of millions of people in the Qing Dynasty."

"And the level of food consumed by the people of the Qing Dynasty was definitely the highest level since the Shang and Zhou dynasties until today."

"Maybe it's just slightly inferior to the Chinese of later generations?"

It wasn't just Qianlong who was bragging.

This is basically what the ancient people of all dynasties thought.

With the progress of the times,
The food is definitely getting better and better.

Even the living standards of the people in the Tang and Song dynasties had improved so much.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The people will definitely eat better.

But Tianmu said:
[During the Ming and Qing dynasties, due to population growth, the level of dietary diversity among ordinary people declined compared to the Tang and Song dynasties.]

[So today's video will focus on the imperial cuisine of the Ming and Qing dynasties. ]

[During the Ming and Qing dynasties, except for a few relatively frugal emperors such as Zhu Yuanzhang, Chongzhen, and Daoguang, their imperial meals were slightly smaller in size.]

[Other emperors were extremely extravagant.]

[For example, Emperor Qianlong once had an ordinary breakfast in the palace, which included fried chicken, fried meat and stewed sauerkraut, roast duck, pork buns, bird's nest, fat chicken, fried tofu, mutton slices, mutton offal, small steamed buns, small cakes, side dishes, tofu soup, shredded duck meat, etc. and dozens of other dishes.]

[This is because we are in the palace, and the conditions are limited. ]

【So the food is relatively simple. 】

[You should know that during the Qing Dynasty, the emperor's daily food quota included: 22 catties of large plate meat, 5 catties of soup meat, 10 catties of pork, two sheep, five chickens, three ducks, 5 catties of various vegetables, 3 radishes, 19 catties of onions, 60 liang of wine, and 6 catties of vinegar.]

[As well as rice, flour, oil, milk wine, ghee, honey, sugar, etc. in varying quantities. ]

[The emperor was also provided with 120 kilograms of milk and 15 kilograms of tea every day.]

[I don’t know if the emperor can eat it. 】

【But anyway, Master Smith should be full. 】

[It is also because the emperor’s menu is too rich. 】

[This led to a rumor among the people.]

[That is, in order to prevent poisoning, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty only allowed three bites of each dish. ]

[In fact, this is pure rumor. ]

[Each emperor of the Qing Dynasty had his own favorite dishes. 】

[If the emperor likes a dish, will you prevent him from seeing it tomorrow? ]

【Then the person the emperor won’t see the day after tomorrow will be you. 】

[The menus of the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties were not only rich in variety, but also designed to satisfy the emperors’ appetites. ]

[The human, material and financial resources mobilized by the entire country are also very huge. ]

[For example, one of the three major hatreds in life mentioned by Zhang Ailing is that shad has too many bones. ]

[The meat of shad is delicious, but it has even more bones than crucian carp. ]

[Although it is troublesome to eat, shad still attracts many gourmets. ]

[But in fact, the most troublesome thing about shad is not that it has many spines. ]

【But it dies as soon as it comes out of the water. 】

[A lively shad was already dead when it was just taken out of the water.]

【Therefore, the ancients regarded shad as a symbol of chastity. 】

【Due to the characteristic of shad that it dies as soon as it leaves the water. 】

【Therefore, gourmets throughout the ages can only taste shad by the river, catching and eating it right after it is caught. 】

[But the emperor himself would not come to the river just to eat a fish.]

[But the shad is so delicious that it must be eaten by the emperor.]

【then what should we do? 】

[Let’s still use the old method, let’s ride a horse to make the concubine smile. 】

[During the Qing Dynasty, hilsa fish were immediately put into offering boxes filled with lard and ice cubes after being fished out of Nanjing.]

[A seal from local military and political officials was affixed to the outside.]

【Then he immediately rushed to the capital. 】

[A relay station was set up every 30 miles along the way, with fast horses waiting on the road to take over. ] [During the transportation of shad, all local officials along the way had to wait on the road to serve the cavalry responsible for transporting shad. ]

[The sentry boxes along the way should be flagged during the day and lighted at night to maintain the road and clear pedestrians. ]

[The cavalry must not be allowed to get lost or blocked]

[The transport cavalry had to eat while riding. ]

[In short, we must do everything we can to deliver the shad to the imperial kitchen without stopping.]

[Because the imperial kitchen has a rule that after the shad is taken out of the water, it must be delivered to the emperor's table within 44 hours.]

[In order to transport the shad, the imperial court had to dispatch 3000 horses and mobilize nearly civilians.]

[From Nanjing to Beijing, all the military and political forces within 2500 miles along the way had to serve a fish on the emperor's table.]

……

Let’s stop here for the story of looking at the sky curtain.

The nobles in ancient times thought it was nothing special, or rather, it was expected and normal.

The emperor.

And now netizens,
I know that the emperors in ancient times lived in luxury.

But many details are still unclear.
As a result, netizens filled the screen with comments complaining.

"Good fellow, it is unjust that the Qing Dynasty should not perish."

"Fuck, Qianlong's breakfast has more than a dozen dishes. How full must he be?"

"120 kilograms of milk, taking a bath. "

"Only the Ministry of Internal Affairs knows how much loss there is."

"It's OK that the emperors of the Qing Dynasty ate well, but the common people of the Qing Dynasty ate poorly!"

"Yes, haha, during the Kangxi and Qianlong eras, the people's food standard declined even more than that of the Tang Dynasty. The Tartar Qing Dynasty is really a joke!"

"The emperor laughed as he rode a horse in the yellow dust, but no one knew it was a fish coming."

"Even so, the shad was smelly when it was served to the emperor."

"The emperor is really frustrated about eating this fish."

Qin Dynasty.

In terms of mobilizing the people's power,

Naturally, he is no less outstanding than Emperor Qianlong of later generations.

But Ying Zheng also knew that
What I eat is far less delicious than what Qianlong eats.

It's a little pity.

Although Ying Zheng himself did not demand as much material enjoyment as Qianlong did.

What Ying Zheng cared more about was the reputation of the entire Qin Empire.

But seeing here,

Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Then Ying Zheng concluded:

"Tianmu said that ordinary netizens in later generations eat better than the emperors in ancient times."

“It seems that this is not the case.”

"Let's not talk about anything else. How could it be possible that Emperor Qianlong ate worse than ordinary people in later generations?"

Although he was the emperor of a pseudo-dynasty in later generations.

But Ying Zheng was quite happy to see that the emperor ate better than the common people.

Because what Ying Zheng was thinking was.

What if even the emperors from ancient times to the present do not eat as well as ordinary people in later generations?
This news was transmitted to the world through the sky.

How can we then reflect the emperor’s uniqueness?

But the sky is coming.
It continued playing.

Tells why this video blogger,
It is very likely that ordinary people today eat better than the emperors of ancient times.

[After talking about Qianlong’s recipes, some friends will definitely ask the host, didn’t you say that I eat better than the emperor? ]

[The emperor eats all kinds of delicacies, how can I compare with him? ]

【Don't be impatient. 】

【Listen to me playing for you. 】

[First of all, judging from the dishes, the emperor ate all kinds of top-quality ingredients, carefully cooked, and specially presented in unique shapes.]

[It is easier for their emperor to eat bear paws and shark fins than for us to eat Chinese cabbage.]

[Just like the last, so-called emperor, Yuan Datou. ]

[The small bag he carried with him was filled with ginseng and deer antlers ground into powder.]

[I took it out anytime as a snack, and it made my nose bleed so much that I almost died.]

[Indeed, we cannot compare to the emperor in terms of food ingredients.]

【But eating. 】

[In addition to the quality of the ingredients. ]

[Isn’t it also about taste? 】

[Anyway, I can say this for sure.]

[The taste of food that the ancient emperors ate cannot be compared with that of us today. ]

【We eat better. 】

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Not only the emperors didn't believe it.

Many netizens themselves do not believe it! (End of this chapter)
