Mention the Qianlong Emperor, I believe that many people are not unfamiliar with him, as the last link of the Tang Dynasty, the Qianlong Emperor still had a lot of good political achievements in the early period, but at the same time, because Qianlong was the emperor who actually reigned for the longest time in the Qing Dynasty, some of the early achievements were regarded as achievements in his later years, so the later Qianlong immersed himself in the past all day long, and treated the country with a lot. It is precisely for this reason that Qianlong has received a lot of controversy.
Qianlong in the later period of covetousness, even six times the Jiangnan, nominally to carry out inspections, in fact, to enjoy pleasure, so the story of the Qianlong Emperor's pleasure spread a lot in the folk, and even many shops at that time had Qianlong inscriptions, that is, after Qianlong had visited that year, because he was satisfied with the delicious food, he left a mention. Even in today's society, there are still many old brands under the name of Qianlong visiting here. However, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Qianlong loves to play famously, when inspecting Jiangnan, Qianlong heard that there was a local shop selling flower chicken, but because of his status as emperor, he could not blatantly eat chicken, so he planned to put on civilian clothes and bring a personal guard to go up, and sure enough, after a search, the fragrance of the flower chicken led it to a shop, the shop business was very good, and the diners at the door were endless.
In order to act in a low-key manner, Qianlong is still very patient to wait, and then the dish is on the table, Qianlong saw a large mud ball, immediately ready to go crazy, but the child immediately introduced the origin of the called flower chicken, the original called flower chicken originated in the Ming Dynasty, when a called Huazi accidentally got a chicken, because he did not have a pot and no spices, he removed the internal organs of the chicken, and then wrapped it in yellow mud, roasted on the fire, peeled off the mud shell, just the chicken's hair also fell with the mud shell, so it became the original flower chicken, after the New Year's improvement, As well as the processing of spices, this has developed into this mature dish.
After hearing this, Qianlong hurriedly let his men open the mud shell, and sure enough, the aroma wafted out, and Qianlong's appetite was great, and he ate a chicken in a short while. But when it came to paying the bill, it was embarrassing, it turned out that he and the guard forgot to bring money when they changed civilian clothes, the boss naturally would not let them leave, helplessly Qianlong showed his identity, and said that he was willing to mention a pair of couplets to settle the account, the boss knew the identity after he did not dare to ask for money, heard that the emperor wanted an inscription, immediately asked someone to take the pen and ink. Qianlong waved a large pen, and a pair of couplets took shape: three thousand miles north of the famous earthquake, and the twelfth floor of the south of the river was pressed. The boss also made a fortune by relying on this couplet.
