Historical background: Zhou Wang and da ji, a dog man and a woman, lived in luxury. People dug a large pool with a length of 10 feet, a width of 5 feet and a depth of 2 feet, and used it as a swimming pool. No, it was full of wine, and hundreds of livestock, birds and prey were slaughtered. Their tender parts are cut off, carefully baked and hung up. This is the wine pool meat forest. Of course, it's not over. He let 100 ladies-in-waiting and 100 maids (not eunuchs) dance and play naked in the shuttle or bow their heads to eat meat like animals. Zhou Wang and da ji laughed at the porn reality show, but they only felt enjoyment, not excitement. They also arrested several ministers who were suspected of being double-minded, and let them walk a red-hot copper pillar, which is also called the punishment of branding. ...

Historical influence: At this stage, a country and a king are not far from extinction. Zhou Wang's debauchery finally destroyed the Shang Dynasty, and he himself was regarded as a synonym for a tyrant. Wine pool meat forest is also regarded as the metaphor of the most luxurious life, which has become a lesson for later kings.

Gourmet: After Shang Dynasty, the state banquet in Zhou Dynasty was rice mixed with bear oil, which was similar to Shang Dynasty. At that time, cooking techniques and seasonings were limited. The best food may be barbecue. Pepper cumin will wait 65,438+0,000 years, and pepper will not be introduced into China until 2000. When barbecuing, only sea salt obtained from Dongyi people (Jiaodong) can be sprinkled as seasoning. Wine is relatively primitive rice wine, but it is not necessarily bad. It should be a bit like the thick wine in modern Shaanxi.

2. Feast of the Brave: Zhuan Xu stabbed Liao Wang.

Historical background: At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Guo usurped the throne of his nephew, Gongziguang, who decided to take it back. He accepted Wu Zixu's suggestion and adopted a samurai named Zhuan Xu to learn the practice of carp and fish in the West Lake.

On this day, my son invited Liao Wang to your home for dinner, saying that he had a chef who was good at cooking carp that the king liked. Although Liao Wang had doubts, he couldn't resist the temptation of food and decided to eat. He took strict security measures. There are guards all the way from the palace to Gongziguang's palace, and Gongziguang's room is also heavily guarded. In the banquet hall, there are all guards. Only Liao Wang and Miyako's uncle and their subjects attended the banquet. Every waiter or chef who serves food near the banquet must be strictly searched. After a while, Miyako left the room on the pretext of going to the bathroom. Just then, Zhuan Xu came with a big carp, and several guards searched him at the door. Zhuan Zhu knelt in front of Liao Wang and presented carp. Liao Wang drooled and was about to move chopsticks. Zhuan Xu suddenly held out his hand, pulled out a sharp dagger from the carp's stomach and stabbed Liao Wang violently. The sword penetrated Liao Wang's close-fitting armor and pierced his chest. The guards around him were stunned by this sudden behavior. Later, he woke up like a dream and hacked Zhu Yingtai to death. Childe came out of the basement with a guard. He soon took control of the situation, and soon he finally sat on the throne, known as He Lv, the king of Wu.

Historical influence: This was an excellent assassination, which made a warrior like Zhuan Xu shine in history, but since then, the banquet has become a place with frequent conspiracies. He Lv, the king of Wu, initiated the hegemony of Wu. He was wounded and died in the war with Yue, and his son was Fu Cha, the king of Wu. Since then, he has derived one historical drama after another, such as Wu Gong Yue, Gou Jian's hard training and Fan Li's Beauty.

Gourmet: Wu, a rich and prosperous country, is located in Suzhou and Hangzhou and is also a land of plenty. There are not only carp at the party, but also other delicious dishes. Heiner once ate hangzhou dishes and thought it was fresh and delicious. Rice wine, too. Without the temptation of these delicious food and wine, Liao Wang would not go to dinner easily.
