Ji Xiaolan can eat ten pounds of meat a day. He prefers snacks to dinner.

China is a big agricultural country with a long history. For thousands of years, people's diet has not changed much. In terms of diet, there are three main dietary differences in Qing Dynasty: ethnic differences, regional differences, and differences between the rich and the poor. As far as the main situation is concerned, it mainly includes three categories: staple food, non-staple food and beverage. Here, let's talk about the anecdote of Qing people's diet. The book says that Ji Xiaolan can't eat rice all his life. Pasta is eaten occasionally. Three meals are mainly lean meat with a pot of tea. You can eat two or three pounds of meat at a meal. Really? Please elaborate.

Ji Yun, whose real name is Xiaolan, whose real name is Chunfan, whose real name is Shi Yun, whose real name is Guan Yi Taoist. In recent years, it has become a household name through the banter of TV series and the spread of various media. Born in June of the second year of Yongzheng in Qing Dynasty, he died in February of the tenth year of Jiaqing. Born in Yongzheng, Qianlong and Jiaqing Dynasties, 82-year-old, literate, posthumous title. In the Qing dynasty, it was rare to see a scholar who had experienced three dynasties and was famous for a while.

Generally speaking, Ji Xiaolan's academic achievements should be mentioned in his articles. For example, he presided over the compilation of the largest book in China's cultural history, Sikuquanshu, and wrote 200 volumes of the Summary of Sikuquanshu, which had far-reaching influence and wrote Yuewei Caotang Notes, which was profound and profound. Of course, for Ji Shi, his humor is the most popular one now. What we want to talk about here is not Ji Xiaolan's life as an official and scholar. Let's look at the other side of his life and talk about food in Ji Xiaolan.

Generally speaking, I think Ji Xiaolan is not only a famous scholar, but of course a weak scholar. Not really, but Ji is a tall and fat man in the record. In terms of diet, he is also very different from ordinary literati. Xiao Ting Zalu (volume 10), Zhao Bao's record of Ji Xiaolan in the Qing Dynasty is as follows: "The northerners are little known for their arts and sciences, while Xiao Lan Zongbo has read all the books for a while.

The catalogue of Sikuquanshu, a 3,000-year-old classic, is concise and elegant and won the hearts of the people. I'm eighty years old and still horny. Eat dozens of pounds of meat every day, not one a day. It's really amazing. "Eighty years old, he still looks like a woman. He eats dozens of pounds of meat every day and doesn't eat a millet all the year round. No wonder he is really a wizard. He Ying, his official partner in Ji Xiaolan, once saw him eating: at dinner, the servant brought a big bowl of barbecue, which weighed about three pounds. Ji Xiaolan was eating a big piece of meat while talking to people. In a short time, the meat was finished and the meal was over. In the usual diet, Ji Xiaolan basically does not eat rice, pasta or occasionally, and the main food is meat. When entertaining guests, Ji is "clean", but as the host, he just raises chopsticks for everyone to eat, and he "only eats a plate of meat and cooks a pot of tea".

Ji Xiaolan's eating habits are different. He never eats. He eats vegetables for three meals a day. He loves meat, especially meat. He eats everything, including pork, mutton, rabbits, snakes, venison and beef, but he doesn't eat ducks. It is said that eating this kind of food will cause nausea. To this end, and _ has repeatedly seized this shortcoming of him and made mischief. He told Emperor Qianlong that Ji Xiaolan liked ducks, and Emperor Qianlong believed him. At the banquet between the monarch and the ministers, he never forgot to send Ji Xiaolan a plate of duck meat, which made Ji Xiaolan hungry and could not eat well. He was very flustered.

Ji Xiaolan also has a habit, that is, he never drinks, and all festive banquets or gatherings of relatives and friends use tea instead of wine. In the TV series "Qianlong Dynasty", he was sent to Xinjiang, and Xiao Shenyang went to see him off, and Ji Xiaolan drank. This is actually the director's "innovation", and Ji Xiaolan is no exception.

Another feature of Ji's diet is to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and snacks never leave his mouth. As long as he is at home, all kinds of dried and fresh fruits, hazelnuts and chestnuts of Chen Fang must be on his desk. Because people can't explain his special eating habits, some people say that Ji is a fire spirit, while others think that he is reincarnated as a monkey spirit because he eats hazelnuts and chestnuts all the year round.
