Chapter 177: Worthy of the Name

The old capital is a city with a lot of culture and history. If the Yan Kingdom of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is also counted, it is also the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. It's also a remarkable achievement in the country's history.

For a place to become the capital of a country, it must have its own important places.

The most important thing about the current old capital of the Ming Dynasty is its strategic location, which was once the first line of defense against nomadic invasions from the north. In the Qing Dynasty, it became an important pass for the Manchu Qing Dynasty to guard the retreat of Longxing outside the Guan. If there is a change in the world, the Manchu royal family can calmly retreat from here outside the border.

In modern times, the importance of the old capital is reflected in the cultural aspect and traditional political implications.

Otherwise, the voice of the three towns of Hankou was quite high when the capital was first established.

Of course, as a city with a history of more than 1,000 years, the old capital naturally has a lot of famous cuisine. And these delicacies are widely known throughout the country with the spread and promotion of various film and television dramas.

For example, there are several famous century-old shops on Qianmen Street.

For example, the famous Quanjude roast duck, this duck restaurant is famous, how many Chinese people want to come here to find out.

There is also a place of siu mai, which was originally called a unique place. Legend has it that Emperor Qianlong, who stayed anywhere except the palace all day, was hungry in the middle of the night and found it when he came out to forage for food. If you want to say that Qianlong Ye is also hard, it is not all day long that Xia Jiangnan has all kinds of strange love stories with summer rain lotus, spring rain lotus, autumn rain lotus, and winter rain lotus.

Or he has traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers of the motherland like a superman, eaten hundreds of snacks, and left his name and pen and ink.

You said that he was hungry in the middle of the night, and he couldn't order takeout in the palace, Meituan and Hungry are also beyond the delivery area. There was no way, Qianlong Ye could only get up in the middle of the night, get dressed and walk around Qianmen Street. As I walked around, I saw a night snack stall on Qianmen Street. What is sold is roasted wheat and sliced soup, and many people eat it. Qianlong had a supper with those who worked hard, bricks, kilns, and just finished prostitution.

After eating, wipe your mouth, the emperor generally goes out without money. So, Qianlong plans to eat white food. I asked the shopkeeper what your name was, and the shopkeeper said, "It's called a unique place." ”

Qianlong pondered for a while and said: "It's not good to be called independent, you can't be independent in business, I see how about you change your name to one place." It's all in one place. ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he said, "Hey, sir, this name is good." ”

"Okay, it's worth the meal. I'll go first, and walk home to digest my food. Qianlong patted the belly that had been propped up after eating three cages of mutton and roasted wheat.

"Sir, you can't do that. Three-cage mutton roasted wheat, if you don't give money, my business will be a net loss tonight. The shopkeeper pulled Qianlong and didn't let him go.

Qianlong saw that this can't go, I have to go to the morning court tomorrow, I have to go back to bed early, otherwise I will be late for work tomorrow.

Qianlong had no choice but to say: "In this way, I am sparing you a dish." What do you think of this dish for dinner?"

"Sir, do you know how to cook?" the shopkeeper looked at Qianlong, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like he could cook.

Qianlong slapped his thigh: "Give me the word [?]." Do you know what is called squirrel fish? Do you know what is called frozen rice candy? Do you know what pot lid noodles are? Those are all invented and created by the master. Get up, you will show you a hand!"

After that, Qianlong picked up the seasonal cabbage and cut it into sections, poured out the sesame paste with two to eight soy sauce water, added sugar and Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar to the sesame paste, and stirred evenly. Then put the Chinese cabbage with this sesame paste, let the cabbage fully cover the sesame paste, and then put it on a plate, and sprinkle the sesame seeds evenly after serving.

The shopkeeper carefully picked up a piece and tasted it, hey, it tasted good, it was sour and sweet, and the crisp raw Chinese cabbage, and the sesame paste was originally very greasy, but the sweet and sour sesame sauce with cabbage was only fragrant and not greasy. It tastes good.

The shopkeeper turned his head and was about to praise Qianlong, and looked left and right.

It turned out that Qianlong Ye took advantage of the shopkeeper's efforts to eat this cabbage and ran away.

Later, Qianlong went to the Temple of Heaven to worship the heavens, and the people of the imperial city knelt down on the street to see him off. The shopkeeper of this small stall also knelt on the side of the road, and he wanted to raise his neck after kneeling for a long time, and this neck just happened to see Qianlong on the dragon.

"Eh! It's not that I didn't pay for eating my three cages of mutton and roasted wheat...... Woo~Woo~Woo~"

Before he finished speaking, he was covered by the person next to him.

"Don't talk nonsense. That's Lord Qianlong. ”

"But he didn't pay me for my mutton roasted wheat. ”

"Hey, when did Lord Qianlong give money. He didn't pay for the steamed buns when he went to my store. ”

"I haven't given it fried liver to eat. ”

"You haven't given me any porcelain. ”

"I haven't even been given shoes to wear. ”

"I haven't even been given a dress. ”

A group of small shop owners kneeling next to him, such as Neiliansheng, Rongfuxiang, Tianxingju, etc., have said that this is the norm. It is normal for the emperor not to give money for meals.

The boss of this place is unbalanced.

"If you don't have money, it's a loss. ”

"You're stupid. Did Lord Qianlong leave anything with you? such as ink treasures, calligraphy and paintings, fans, poems, and so on. Although it is true that what he wrote is not very good, it is left by His Majesty the Emperor, and it can be used as a means to attract customers. ”

The boss of Duyi thought for a while: "I left a store name, I originally called it Duyi, and he changed the name to Duyi." There is also a dish, sesame sauce with cabbage. ”

The shopkeeper next to him slapped his face: "Come on, brother." Wherever I go to make a plaque, I will write it all in one place. I'll give you a brand of Qianlong's imperial pen. And that sesame sauce mixed with cabbage, you also changed the name, it is called Qianlong cabbage. ”

The boss hesitated when he heard this: "This ...... Are you okay? Not afraid of taboos?"

"Hey~ What a taboo. He doesn't give money for food, so we shouldn't use his name. Look at how many brands related to him there are in these four or nine cities. ”

The boss of all a place moved his fingers and calculated, hey, it seems to be true. This Qianlong Ye's footsteps of eating white food are all over the Sijiu City.

Since then, this has been related to Qianlong Ye. It's a pity that Quanjude, which opened in one place, was born more than a hundred years late, and failed to let Qianlong come to eat ducks for nothing.

Otherwise, you can also have a plaque with the title of "The First Duck in the World" hanging at the door.

Zhang Tong was not sensitive to the duck thing, after all, it was strange to go to the duck shop alone. I've never eaten any of this, so let's try it.

Lao Zhang was not polite, and ordered a portion of the signature mutton roasted wheat, a fried enema in the old capital, and a Qianlong cabbage that is said to have been left by Qianlong.

After all, it's the old capital to play, eat some snacks to cushion your stomach, and you can taste other flavors later.

It doesn't matter if you taste it, it's a shock.

This century-old store really lives up to its name...... It's unpalatable!

PS: There will be a new chapter tonight. Now hurry up and go to make dinner, my wife is so hungry, and it is another busy day of breastfeeding the wheat. In the afternoon, I was fed 60 ml of milk, and I didn't waste a mouthful, and I vomited all in my face.
