The Eight-Nation Alliance entered Beijing, but thanks to cen Chunxuan, the envoy of Gansu Province, who led the troops to escort him, Cixi was able to reach Xi'an with all his tails in full force. In order to please Cixi, Cen Chunxuan once invited a famous chef in the capital to make a full Han feast for Empress Dowager Cixi, but Li Lianying found a big mistake in the last dish, and Cen Chunxuan hurriedly corrected this mistake, otherwise his head was difficult to protect, what is this little-known mistake, or let Xiaobian reveal the secret to you from the beginning.
Cen Chunxuan had a meritorious escort all the way, and after coming to Xi'an, he was appointed as the Inspector of Shaanxi by Empress Dowager Cixi. In order to repay Cixi, Cen Chunxuan invited two chefs from the capital at a high price, and these two chefs had more than ten years of experience in making the Full Han Dynasty, so Cen Chunxuan was still assured of their craftsmanship.
Although Cen Chunxuan was known as "not learning and no skills" in the official arena of the late Qing Dynasty, he really did not dare to have the slightest carelessness in entertaining Cixi, and he deeply knew that although he had made meritorious contributions to taking over the driving, at this extraordinary time (Cixi's heart was not smooth), once he did something wrong, the moody Empress Dowager Cixi really had the possibility of immediately turning her face and cutting off his head.
The two chefs prepared the ingredients for the full table of Man Han, and they first made a "longevity feast" for the whole table of Man Han, and then Cen Chunxuan invited Li Lianying over and asked him to taste it first, and once he found the missing and wrong, he immediately made final corrections.
The longevity feast of the whole Han Dynasty, a total of 108 dishes, these dishes include Mingzhu tofu, Baizi Winter Melon, Sampo Qianzi and Cuiliu Fengsi, etc., these two chefs have good skills, even more than the palace kitchen, Li Lianying ate even nodded, but the last dish, more precisely, is the last farewell tea, Li Lianying looked at the tea bowl served by the maid, he "sighed", changed his face, and said: "Big mistake, big mistake, Cen Patrol, you want to serve this bowl of tea, doomed to head hard!" ”
Cen Chunxuan looked at the Lushan Yunwu tea served by the maid and asked, "General Manager Li, is there any problem with this cup of Lushan Yunwu tea?" ”
Li Lianying pulled Cen Chunxuan to the inner chamber, and then found the white paper, on which he wrote out the Mongolian pro-Pan feast, the first opening tea was white jade milk tea, and the farewell tea was Xinyang Maojian; the opening tea of the court banquet was Shifeng Longjing, and the farewell tea was Zhulan Dafang; the opening tea of the Thousand Sorrows Banquet was Junshan Silver Needle, and the farewell tea was Yanghe Spring Green; and the opening tea of the Longevity Banquet was Lushan Yunwu, and the farewell tea was: Jasmine Tongue.
Cen Chunxuan also drank tea, but he didn't know much about tea, and he was confused when he saw these dazzling tea names.
Li Lianying whispered to him that white jade milk tea must be drunk at a fresh pace to drink well, Shifeng Longjing, Junshan Silver Needle and Lushan Yunwu, some of them are green tea, some are yellow tea, all belong to the morning tea series (as long as the tea is on the market, you should preempt the tea to taste tea, in order to have a good taste). The reason why these four kinds of tea are arranged as open teas, the purpose is very clear, that is, the setters hope that the feast will start early, and everyone will stagger and eat happily.
However, the meaning of Xinyang Maojian, Zhulan Dafang, Yanghe Spring Green and Jasmine Finch Tongue is not like this.
Yanghe Spring Green is produced at the foot of Lion Mountain Peak in Yanghe Tea Farm, Ebian County, Sichuan Province, and is a famous evening tea.
Xinyang Maojian is the evening tea in the north, and the picking time is two weeks later than that of Jiangsu and Zhejiang green teas such as Longjing and Biluochun in the West Lake.
The Pearl Orchid Dafang and Jasmine Bird Tongue are all made of tea, which need to be smoked with floral fragrance, and the time of preparation is as long as two or three months, so it also belongs to the late tea series.
After Li Lianying finished talking about tea, Cen Chunxuan understood that the reason why the "longevity banquet" of the manchu Han whole table was finalized with jasmine tongue meant that he hoped that the banquet would end "late and late".
And Cen Chunxuan's maid actually brought up the Lushan Yunwu tea, which represented the "early end" of the feast, and Empress Dowager Cixi could be happy, and once it was not done well, Cen Chunxuan's merits in driving might be erased, and his head might fall to the ground.
In addition to his gratitude to Li Lianying, Cen Chunxuan also gave the Li Grand Manager 3,000 silver tickets.
Although Cen Chunxuan's Manchu and Han all-seat was very successful, and Empress Dowager Cixi was even more fond of Cen Chunxuan, they really did not think about it: At this time, Beijing was being occupied by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the people of the capital were living under the butcher's knife of foreign invaders.
Cen Chunxuan and other important officials of the imperial court, as well as Empress Dowager Cixi, the holder of the supreme power of the Qing Dynasty, if they spend their minds on the rich country and strong soldiers, rather than focusing on the last tea of the Manchu and Han dynasties, which tea is the most "auspicious", then don't say that the Eight-Nation Alliance, that is, the Eighteen-Nation Alliance, can fight and win! ......
