With the prevalence of the Us group and hungry now, the takeaway industry is becoming more and more popular in life. Now people are more and more accustomed to the convenience of takeaway to us, after their own fatigue, sitting in their own room, mobile phone operation, there will be delicious meals delivered to their own doorstep, after they have eaten and drunk enough, we do not have to think, when did the takeaway thing start? What happened when people like us didn't want to move?
It turned out that the takeaway industry had begun as early as the Warring States period, but at that time it was only prevalent among the nobles, and it was not until the Song Dynasty that it began on a large scale in the folk.

The Song Dynasty, in China's dynasties, can also be said to be one of the best dynasties that emphasize literature and light weapons, although the Song Dynasty was defeated militarily, but their economy was second to none; during the Song Dynasty, the happiness index of the people was still very high, along with the growth of GDP, the requirements of people's quality of life naturally increased, which is the emergence of takeaway; when it comes to the takeaway of the Song Dynasty, it cannot be ignored to talk about, the emperor who loves to eat takeaway --- Song Xiaozong Zhao Xuan.
.1. Emperor Xiaozong of Song, as the second emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, was fortunately selected by Emperor Gaozong of Song at the age of six, and in the thirty-second year of Shaoxing, Zhao Xuan succeeded to the throne. In the second month after Zhao Yun ascended the throne, he issued an edict summoning Zhang Jun, a veteran general of the main war faction, to the dynasty to discuss the grand plan to restore Heshan. He also accepted Shi Hao's suggestion, and issued an edict to rehabilitate Yue Fei in a wrongful prison, recover his original official, and pardon Yue Fei's exiled family. In addition, Zhao Yun gradually began to repeat the official position for the main war minister who was degraded and deposed. He reused the main war faction and actively prepared for war. In internal affairs, we have strengthened the centralization of power, actively straightened out the rule of officials, eliminated redundant officials, punished corruption, attached importance to agricultural production, and the people's well-being. Later generations called it "Zhuoran the title of the emperor of The Southern Crossing".

2. But such a wise emperor has the same habit as us, that is, to eat takeout. He once ate too many folk cold drinks because of his greed, pulled his stomach for several days, and frightened a group of ministers. During a lantern festival in the Longxing years, after nightfall, the emperor was very hungry, so he called the "Nanwa Zhangjia Yuanzi" and "Li Mother-in-law Fish Soup" on the night market and sent them to the palace, after eating the dragon heart, the tip was very generous: "Straight and consistent, the second consistent", enough to pay a consistent (1,000 copper coins) to tip.
3. Through the attitude of the Song Emperor to takeaway, we can imagine that takeaway was prevalent at that time. This matter is also demonstrated on the Qingming River Map.
At this time, some readers will ask "At that time, the technology was not developed, how to send takeaways?" If it's a little farther away, you can't send it."
In fact, at that time, the takeaway industry, not only just had a small two to deliver food, but also evolved a special "takeaway" --- idle people, that is, standing on the street to sell, people who need to order takeaway, will go to them, ask what dishes, and then order food here and then determine the time, that is, many self-employed people now do the behavior, but the idle people of the Song Dynasty only earn errands in this process.
After experiencing the dividends brought by takeaway, people in the takeaway industry want to expand a lot of business.
Do you think it is a VIP plus various subsidy red envelopes, that is wrong; the people in the takeaway industry have specially invented a hollow porcelain - warm plate for long-distance guests, which can add hot water to keep food warm and facilitate long-distance transportation.

It can be seen that the takeaway industry at that time was very popular, and from the side, it also reflected the economic development of the Song Dynasty at that time, and was a well-deserved "rich Song".
