Yiya was a native of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period. He likes food. In his early years, he studied cooking everywhere. Finally, he heard that Peng Keng was in Qi. Who is Peng Keng? Peng Keng is a legendary chef in history, who is good at cooking health dishes. Yi Ya is more active than Liu Bei in getting Peng Keng's biography. He finally learned Peng Keng's cooking from his three apprentices. In just a few years, Yiya has become a first-class chef, who can cook major cuisines in the north and south.

In 630 BC, Yiya opened a private restaurant in Qi State, which made his cooking famous all over the world. Once, palace officials came to a restaurant in Yiya for dinner. After eating, they even praised Yiya for her exquisite cooking. After he returned to the palace, he quickly recommended Yiya. Qi Huangong immediately invited Yi Ya to the palace and cooked a table of delicious food for herself. Qi Huangong ate a lot, but he didn't feel bloated, especially the southern dishes cooked by Yiya.

Yi Ya soon became a waiter, managing the whole kitchen. He cooks for Qi Huangong in different ways every day. Qi Huangong's favorite concubine, Chang, has a strange disease. She is getting thinner and thinner and can hardly eat anything. The famous doctors in the palace are helpless. Yiya remembered the cooking practice of the dietotherapy department she had learned at the beginning, and soon made a plate of five-flavored chicken. After eating a lot, her appetite increases greatly. Meanwhile, Yiya has a pot of chicken soup for her to drink. Often recovered quickly and looked like spring. Qi Huangong was overjoyed, but Qi Huangong never imagined that Yiya was more than that.

On a sunny day, Qi Huangong just finished eating a delicious table.

Joke:? Yiya, since you came here, I have eaten all kinds of delicacies, and people have gained dozens of pounds, but I haven't eaten a kind of food, and I still don't know what it tastes like. ?

Yiya:? What food? ?

Qi Huangong:? Human flesh, huh? .

The happiest thing in the world is that you are just a simple sentence, but others will go through fire and water to help you achieve it. This is the case with Yiya. No one expected Qi Huangong to say such an unintentional thing, but Yi Ya took it seriously. Since Yi Ya became a popular figure in Qi Huangong, he didn't want to be a chef anymore, but wanted to make a difference in politics. At that time, it was easy to get some human flesh casually, but Yi Ya thought that looking for human flesh casually could not show his loyalty.

Yiya finally decided to kill her 3-year-old son, and then put it in a pot to cook it until it tasted delicious and made soup. The whole process is the same as cooking game in peacetime. When Yi Ya's wife found out, Yi Ya had put her son in a clay pot and made adult broth.

Qi Huangong tasted it and said? Yiya, this soup is really delicious and the meat is very moist. I just don't know what it is. ?

Yiya:? Last time I heard what it was like to eat human flesh, I thought ordinary human flesh was definitely not fresh. I killed my 3-year-old son on purpose and brought it to you. ?

Hearing this, Qi Huangong was happy and surprised. It is gratifying that Yi Ya is so loyal, and it is surprising that Yi Ya actually killed her own son.

In 645 BC, Guan Zhong was very ill, but he was worried that Qi Huangong would be bewitched by Yiya after his death. On this day, Qi Huangong came to see Guan Zhong and asked him what he wanted to eat, so that Ya Ya could do it. Guan Zhong bluntly said: Then drive Yiya out of the palace! ?

Qi Huangong is naturally unwilling to give up. Qi Huangong thinks Yiya is loyal and a good cook. He is indeed a rare chef in the world, but Guan Zhong said, to what extent can a person kill his son cruelly? What he did was to make you use him again. Who would be so stupid if it wasn't for ulterior motives?

Qi Huangong is like an awakening. Before he died, Guan Zhong finally removed Yiya from his post and drove him out of the palace. However, after Qi Huangong left Yiya, he could no longer eat the dishes cooked by other chefs. In just two years, Qi Huangong recalled Yiya. Soon, Qi Huangong became seriously ill. Yiya felt that the time had come and even rebelled. He blocked the duke's bedroom everywhere and couldn't let anyone in or out. Finally, Huan Gong is still alive.

After the death of Qi Huangong, Yi Ya unified Qi, and the civil strife ended only when Qi Huangong came to power. However, Qi was no longer the overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period. After the failure of Yiya, she fled to Pengcheng and started to open a small restaurant until her death.

Although the cooking by Yiya has brought disaster to the country and people, and these practices have really made the world revile, Yiya's attainments in cooking are really high. His diet dishes have been circulated in Pengcheng so far, and he created fresh soup and fish belly mutton. Even today's ham was created by Yiya, which was called fire meat at that time. In addition, Yiya's dietotherapy dishes have the effects of keeping healthy, beautifying and prolonging life, so Yiya is the top in such industries as chefs.
