Cao Xiuxian loves to eat meat
During the Qianlong period, there was a minister named Cao Xiuxian, who was very cattle. To what extent do cattle? "Four Libraries Complete Book" is familiar to everyone, right? He was the president of the Four Libraries; could the Chancellor of the Forbidden City ride a horse? No, but he could, and the Qianlong Emperor especially granted him the special treatment of "riding a horse in the Forbidden City".
Cao Xiuxian's calligraphy works.
What Cao Xiuxian is most happy about is not how high his achievements are, but his "good eating". Cao Xiuxian was too able to eat, and his stomach was naturally small. Some people say that Cao Xiuxian's belly can usually be folded up one or two times and tied with a belt. When there are more and more things to eat in the stomach, then release the folded stomach in turn.
In order to show his closeness to the ministers, the Qianlong Emperor often rewarded the ministers with some meat and the like, which was equivalent to a kind of welfare treatment. Whenever the Qianlong Emperor gave meat, the princes and ministers gave the sheep black fork (Mongolian specialty dish, whole sheep) to Cao Xiuxian, and the car warehouse was piled up.
On the way home, it was time for Cao Xiu to enjoy a delicious meal first. He used a knife to cut off the sheep's fork piece by piece and threw it into his mouth, and when he got home, the meat in the car barn was eaten clean by him. Cao Xiuxian said very sincerely in his recital to the Qianlong Emperor: "Wei Chen is good at eating meat. ”
At that time, the custom in Beijing was that whenever he met relatives and friends who had a life, he would send roasted duck and roast pork. Every time Cao Xiuxian had a birthday, he received a lot of food. On his birthday, Cao Xiu first asked someone to cut the roast duck sent by others into squares, put it in a dustpan, and then grabbed it with his hands and ate it, very happy.
Cao Xiuxian was old and frail and fell ill due to typhoid fever. The Qianlong Emperor came to visit him and asked him if he could still eat meat, and he said, "I can eat it!" "A qualified foodie, even to death will not forget to eat."
Cao Xiuxian was a clean and honest official, known as "sincere and diligent", impartial law enforcement, and won the hearts of the people. He was very knowledgeable, well-written, good at calligraphy, and a family of his own. After Cao Xiuxian's death, he was posthumously awarded the title of Crown Prince Taifu (太子太傅) with the courtesy name "Wen Ke".
Tatsumi saw the flesh throat ringing
Cao Xiuxian had a colleague named Da Chun, the character Xiangpu, Manchurian white flag people, the general reader of the "Four Libraries of the Whole Book", is also a very special foodie, the most loved is meat.
The Tatsumi family is not very rich, and it is impossible to have meat to eat at every meal. Sometimes the family goes to buy four or five pounds of beef, cooks it a little, and lets him have a full meal.
Da Chun is a person of elegance and has a very good image, but as soon as he arrives at the dinner table, he is exposed in his original form. When eating, as soon as he sees the meat being served, his throat will make a noise, just like a cat meets a mouse.
After that, at the dinner table, I saw him alone with chopsticks constantly shoving meat into his mouth, and the sound of his throat became louder and louder. The people who ate with him did not dare to move their chopsticks.
If you encounter such a foodie in the future, please be sure to calm down.
