The joke that mutton soup didn't give a spoon.

One of Cixi's favorite dishes in her life is mutton soup, but when she learned about the raw materials, because Cixi knew that the mutton soup she drank was boiled with amniotic fluid, she angrily killed the chef. Empress Dowager Cixi thinks she is noble, and she is a very clean person. Eating amniotic fluid is an insult to her identity. She felt that the chef showed special disrespect to her and killed him.

Empress Dowager Cixi is a very extravagant person. She only needs hundreds of dishes every day, and she eats very little, and a lot of them are wasted, but she doesn't know it. She also invites more chefs to cook for her and holds a chef competition. In order to win the attention of Empress Dowager Cixi, many chefs try their best to cook more delicious food for Empress Dowager Cixi, so that they can be promoted to a higher position and be reused. One of the chefs made mutton soup which was deeply loved by Empress Dowager Cixi. He drank it every day, so the chef's Jiajing also improved a lot.

Because the food that Empress Dowager Cixi usually eats is burnt for a long time before she is tested for poison, she can only eat it if there is no problem, so Empress Dowager Cixi has a bad stomach and often has a stomachache. There is no cure for this. When a cook heard that Empress Dowager Cixi had this problem, she thought she could use mutton soup to nourish her stomach, so she made a mutton soup for Empress Dowager Cixi and told Empress Dowager Cixi that the soup could warm her stomach and greatly relieve her stomachache.

Empress Dowager Cixi didn't like mutton soup at first. She thinks mutton is obscene and mutton soup is obscene. But Empress Dowager Cixi tried to take a sip at the suggestion of the eunuch. She found mutton soup especially delicious, and the soup was warm and comfortable in her stomach. Cixi was particularly satisfied with this and gave the cook a lot of rewards. She named mutton soup every day.

Cixi drank mutton soup every day for the next ten years, and her stomachache was greatly improved. One day, the kitchen was going to retire and say goodbye to Cixi. Cixi asked him how to make mutton soup, and the cook told Cixi that it was boiled with sheep. Empress Dowager Cixi was very angry and immediately ordered the cook to be chopped. Empress Dowager Cixi felt that she was a noble person and could not pollute her mouth with such lowly things. This was a contempt for her status.
