When it comes to Cixi, everyone has endless topics, and the topics about Cixi's quest for perfection, land-cutting indemnities, and her extremely extravagant daily life are all topics that people are talking about. Cixi likes to drink a kind of soup, and the cook has been making it for her for 10 years, but when he learns the raw material, he kills him!
Cixi's meal specifications can be said to be similar to the emperor, sometimes a meal requires dozens of dishes, and she can't eat them all, and then all these ingredients are wasted, most of the dishes are thrown away without even moving the chopsticks, but Cixi still has to maintain so many dishes at each meal, because she thinks that this can highlight her identity.
It is reported that Cixi once asked the cook in the palace to make her a soup that she had not drunk before. After some thought, the cook still thought of a soup that ordinary people often drink, that is, soup made of haggis. For the next ten years, Cixi drank a bowl of soup made of haggis every day, but all along, Cixi did not know the ingredients of the soup.
However, when she knew the raw materials of this dish, she immediately became angry and directly killed hundreds of chefs, for fear that they would tell them about their soup drinking, so as to lose their identity, and these chefs sacrificed for no reason, but this dish was still left behind.
