In the long two thousand years of feudal rule in our country, countless emperors have been produced. The State of Qin established by Qin Shi Huang was the beginning of more than two thousand years of feudal state, and the Qing Dynasty finally ended more than two thousand years of feudal imperial rule under the gradual decline. The Qing Dynasty was the last feudal dynasty in the history of our country, although the Qing Dynasty was extremely powerful in the early days of the Qing Dynasty, but in the late Qing Dynasty, the government and the public were extremely luxurious, and the rats only cared about their own power and interests, which led to the complete defeat of the Qing Dynasty and the end of an era.
In the Qing Dynasty, there are many famous historical figures that we are also very familiar with, such as Empress Dowager Cixi, Emperor Puyi, Qianlong Emperor's Kangxi Emperor, Qianlong Emperor, Nian Qianyao, Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang and so on. Among them, Li Hongzhang, together with Zuo Zongtang, Zhang Zhidong and Zeng Guofan, became the four famous ministers of ZTE. Li Hongzhang founded the famous Beiyang Marine Division, was also the leader of the Foreign Affairs Movement, he was the prime minister during the Qing Dynasty, and was also responsible for the diplomatic affairs of the Qing Dynasty.
Because Li Hongzhang was responsible for the diplomatic affairs of the Qing Dynasty, it often needed to attend some foreign banquets. For example, the coronation of Nicholas II of Russia, he also attended. Even in the United States, Li Hongzhang has been to the United States several times, in addition to purchasing advanced weapons and equipment, learning the concept of foreign military management, Li Hongzhang is also more interested in American cuisine. But in contrast, I still think that our Chinese cuisine is better. So during a visit, Li Hongzhang decided to let Americans taste our Chinese cuisine.
Later, he traveled to New York to entertain guests in Chinatown. I heard that there was Chinese food, and there were a lot of guests on the day, and they all wanted to eat a few bites. But the chefs were in trouble, because they were not prepared enough, and they saw that the ingredients were running out. So Li Hongzhang was in a hurry and invented a dish. He ordered the chef to put all the rest of the dishes together and cook them so that a smorgasbord was baked. I didn't expect the smorgasbord taste to be very good, and it was affirmed by foreigners, and everyone was satisfied.
