Daqin Xianyang Palace.

"The last emperor?".

Ying Zheng muttered these words.

"According to the canopy, the age of the Kyushu kingdoms is ancient, and the era in which they live is the modern era, that is, the future. "

"Now that there is such a thing as the last emperor, is it possible that there will be no more emperors in the future world?"

As smart as Yingzheng, according to a few words, he has deduced the tip of the iceberg of the future world.

Thinking of the lyrics of the Internationale, Ying Zheng had a strong premonition.

Maybe there really won't be an emperor in the future.

But Yingzheng couldn't believe it.

For the people of this era, the emperor is like the sun, an inviolable, irreplaceable, and eternal existence.

In the era when there was no emperor, I didn't dare to think about it.

Ying Zheng glanced at Li Si.

Li Si looked at him, and then silently lowered his head.

Both of them think the same thing.

"I just don't know whose descendant this Yuan Datou is. "

Ying Zheng thought silently.

Anyway, it's definitely not Daqin, after all, Daqin has already died.

....

The video continues to play.

"None of us can do that kind of luxurious eating. "

"But in terms of taste, what the emperor eats is impossible to compete with modern people. "

"Why?".

"Because what we eat every day now is not cooking. "

"It's industry. "

Two big words industrial appear on the screen.

"In cooking, the highest pursuit of the ancients was not sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, but a kind of taste - umami. "

"For the human palate, umami is an extremely delicious experience. "

So the ancients used all kinds of techniques to pursue this taste. "

"For example, the famous Sichuan cuisine, boiling cabbage. "

"It's made from high-end ingredients such as seafood, chicken, and ham to make a dashi. "

"The glutamate in the ingredients is extracted, and finally the cabbage is stewed in this bowl of extremely delicious soup. "

"This dish looks ordinary, but in fact, it takes a lot of effort and resources behind it, so it was once used as a state banquet dish. "

......

Peach Blossom Island.

Huang Rong concentrated, waved her pen and ink, and recorded this dish of boiling cabbage.

The focus is on the word 'glutamate'.

I don't know it, but it's not wrong to write it down.

.......

Tongfu Inn.

"Obediently long. "

"Can the cabbage go to the state banquet?".

Tong Xiangyu was taken aback.

If someone had said that cabbage could go to the state banquet before, Tong Xiangyu would definitely laugh off her big teeth, but after reading Tianmu's explanation, she only felt that this cabbage was worth it!

Then, she turned her head and glanced at Bai Zhantang.

Bai Zhantang was like a roundworm in her stomach, and she immediately knew what she was thinking.

"Auntie, forget about anything else, we can't afford this thing, one dish can make our inn bankrupt." "

"You brainless, we don't have to use such high-end ingredients! Replace them with cheap ones, isn't it the same?".

Tong Xiangyu had already imagined the scene of his inn being crowded.

......

However, this dish, which in ancient times only princes, nobles and emperors could afford, is very common to enjoy in modern times. "

"Because in 1906, the Japanese chemist Kikunae Ikeda discovered monosodium glutamate, gained insight into the secret of umami, and invented monosodium glutamate. "

Since then, fresh food has become a low-hanging fruit for human cooking. "

"The soup stock that the court cook has been hanging for two days is not as good as the three spoonfuls of MSG put by a modern housewife. "

"After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, many imperial kitchens and court recipes flowed out of the Forbidden City. "

"In the twenties of the last century, there were restaurants that organized imperial chefs and their disciples to cook royal meals. "

"To this day, there are restaurants where you can eat the same recipe as the imperial food. "

"But after everyone ate it, most people thought that the taste was neutral and peaceful, not particularly unpalatable, and not very tasty. "

"This is the modern people who have been raised by MSG, and they can no longer adapt to the cooking skills of the agricultural era. "

"And the imperial food eaten by the Qing Dynasty emperor is not as good as the restored imperial food in modern restaurants, because at least modern people eat fresh. "

"Since there was no microwave oven in ancient times, the emperor could pass the meal at any time, so the ancient imperial kitchen would prepare the imperial meal a few hours in advance, or even a day, and put it in a pot to stew, and when the emperor ate it, it was already leftovers. "

........

Great Qing Dynasty Qianqing Palace.

Kangxi squirted out a mouthful of rice.

The food got stuck in his esophagus and almost choked him to death.

The surrounding eunuchs and palace maids turned pale with fright, and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty.

But Kangxi didn't blame them.

He was just startled by the canopy.

The explanation of food is good, how did it come to the fall of the Qing Dynasty!

Kangxi is really going to have a big head.

Looking at the delicious dishes on the canopy, as well as the pile of imperial meals in front of him, he didn't have the heart to eat anymore, and waved his hand and said

"Get out of here. "

........

Great Song.

Zhao Kuo was also panicked when he saw the words of the fall of the Qing Dynasty.

Although he knew that no one could defeat the Great Song Dynasty, there was a high probability that the war would break out and wait for death.

But he still didn't want to hear words like the demise of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Bodhisattva bless. Let me have a good meal. "

Zhao Kuo thought secretly.

..........

"These court dishes are not as good as modern foods, except that they taste inferior. "

"The quality of food in ancient times cannot be compared to that of the modern food industry. "

"Take sugar as a chestnut. "

A purple sugar cane forest appears on the screen.

"Human beings' pursuit of sugar is engraved in our genes. "

"However, before the sucrose extraction technology matured, it was not easy for the ancients to obtain sugar. "

"There was very little sugar in ancient northern China, because sugar cane was mainly cultivated in the south before sugar beet was introduced to China. "

"Only people of high status can eat sweet things. "

According to historical records, Cao Pi, Emperor Wen of Wei, loved to eat sugarcane, and used sugarcane as a stick and crutches with him, gnawing wherever he went, and also used it as a gift to reward ministers. "

"Cao Pi, who loves sweets so much, can only eat the most primitive sweetness, if you give him a white rabbit, or a bottle of Coke, ice cream or something, he can't eat it and forget the world?"

"In ancient times, not only the purity of food could not be compared with modern times, but food safety was not on the same level. "

"Raw livestock and poultry are not as safe as animals on farms. "

"Animals that have not undergone quarantine and medicine are completely dependent on whether they carry parasites or not. "

"No matter how clear the water of Yuquan Mountain is, it is not as clear as modern tap water. "

"So even if you are as noble as a feudal ruler, you will be troubled by food safety. "

"Even if modern people cook a packet of instant noodles, its safety, deliciousness, and fat density are all ancient foods that are completely unattainable. "

"If you add fat house happy water, you can have a fried chicken leg and don't change it for a dragon chair!"
