Perhaps there is a kind of karma curse that dictates that things must be returned to where they were taken from.
The fate of the Zhang family and his son finally changed again because of Xuantong, the submissive emperor.
In 1932, Puyi went to Changchun and planned to establish the puppet Manchukuo in Changchun.
Because he was dissatisfied with the cooks in the Northeast and the manpower he brought was not enough, he sent his men to look for old people.
When the subordinates came to the capital, they asked one by one where the old people in the imperial kitchen of the Yangxin Palace were, hoping that they could come and help.
Unexpectedly, everyone dislikes the long distance and is annoyed by the Japanese. No one likes to go there.
Based on the actual situation, not many people can escape.
Because the Royal Chef, this sign is valuable.
People from the old imperial dining room, represented by Wang Yushan, the "King of Speculators", had already set up the "Fangshan Tea House" east of Wulong Pavilion in Beihai at that time, and the business was booming.
Most of the other people also found reasons to go to the big restaurants in the capital. Is it necessary for them to go?
As a result, these men encountered obstacles everywhere.
After searching and searching like this, they finally focused on the Zhang family and his son as their main target.
Because first, although Cixi did not have a good reputation among the people, she was a "noble person" to the Zhang family and his son.
Everyone knows that since the Zhang family left the palace, they have been thinking about the good son of the old queen mother.
Secondly, the Zhang family is not only good at craftsmanship, but also has heart problems.
The Zhang family's father and son are truly capable. They are unparalleled among the royal chefs in the imperial palace. They are not only sophisticated but also comprehensive.
With them, it means that they can take on all the work in the imperial kitchen, and they can do it.
But precisely because of this, they always feel that it is unfair for several generations of their family members to be the best ones only.
I am really angry about this, and everyone always complains when mentioning the palace.
Even because of this, he is quite alienated from other royal chefs and has no contact with him.
Thirdly, the Zhang family father and son are one of the few people who do not have fixed jobs.
They live no more freely than other chefs. The main business is in the major offices.
As long as you don't have a job, you can leave if you want, without any worries.
So these are the places where they get most into trouble.
Pu Yi's people came to the door and first complained about the Queen Mother's "kindness".
Following that, they were promised the official position of Imperial Shanfang Shanzheng, and finally paid a hundred taels of gold as a deposit on the spot, saying that they would be released as long as they worked for two years.
In this way, Zhang Zhi was fascinated by the small favor and became tempted.
He thought it would be better to just make a trip, not only to repay his old master's favor, but also to satisfy his ancestor's regret, and also make a fortune.
At the same time, it can also give my son a long experience and see what the real royal system is and how appropriate it is.
It's a pity that the father and son just slapped their butts and left, which means they are trapped in a dragon's den and a tiger's den.
The Zhang family and his son never thought that the Japanese were actually in charge of Northeast China.
To put it bluntly, even Puyi has gradually become a prisoner. If you follow him, you can still have a good life.
The Zhang family and his son in the Northeast are so worried. Their treatment is okay, but they have a home and cannot return.
In addition, the reputation of traitors is not good, and the Japanese special grandson, in order to control the people around the emperor, deliberately gave Zhang Zhi a white face.
But that's not the worst thing. Unexpectedly, a major general of the Kwantung Army who came from a noble family admired their cooking skills.
He was so tyrannical that he forcibly recruited them and took them further north with the army.
Okay, now it’s bad luck.
Not to mention the harsh environment, this is a battlefield, it’s just a joke.
Later in 1939, the Battle of Nomenkan broke out between the Japanese army and the Soviet army, and they were indeed involved.
The Japanese major general was later killed by a shell, but Zhang Zhi's drug-addicted body could not withstand the ice and snow, and he died of illness when he fled.
"Zhang Dashao", who had just turned twenty-one, was also captured in a raid by the Soviet cavalry.
If ordinary prisoners of war were to be released, they would now have to be sent to the western part of the Soviet Union for mining. It would be a narrow escape from death.
But the good thing is that people of any race in the world have to eat, and they are willing to eat well.
At this critical moment, the ancestral craftsmanship saved "Zhang Dashao".
A meal of "breaded chicken", plus Lafayette's favorite royal pastry "six-pin soufflé", was a feast for the Soviet general.
For this reason, "Zhang Dashao" was pardoned and became the general's chef.
But I must say that fate is so hateful, it can’t tease people enough.
In the second half of 1941, the Soviet army and the German army went to war, and "Zhang Dashao" was captured by the German army again, and was then detained as a cook in Germany and France.
But this was not over yet. When the German army was defeated in 1943, "Zhang Dashao" was captured by the US military again and served an American lieutenant colonel for two more years.
After that, he was handed over to the National Government and eventually sent back to China.
To put it bluntly, although he is just a cook, he is definitely not an ordinary cook.
He is a cook who has served both the Axis Powers and the Allied Powers!
The fact that he is still alive after being tossed around so many times is enough to show the profoundness and appeal of our country’s food culture.
The saying that art does not overwhelm the body is absolutely correct.
But you must also know that after being away from home for twenty years, "Zhang Dashao" has gone to work for four people when he comes back. Not only is his family gone, his father is dead, and he has to go to jail.
How can he not hate this? Puyi, the Japanese, and the foreign devils led the national army, and he almost hated the whole world.
But the only one I don’t hate is the Red Party.
Because the Red Party not only gave him freedom, gave him a job, helped him start a family, but also gave him personal respect. For the first time, he heard the inspiring words "laborers are glorious".
So since the founding of the People's Republic of China, whether in "Cuihua Building" or "Fengze Garden", he has tried his best to work hard and teach his apprentices well.
Whenever the Great Hall of the People and the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse used chefs for political tasks, he not only contributed, but also provided reasonable suggestions and suggestions in accordance with the regulations of the Qing Palace.
But who would have expected that just a few years after Ansheng's life, he would start to be unlucky again.
First of all, the apprentice he taught was arrogant and worked in this new society. He had not experienced the difficulties of seeking skills and lacked training.
Although he is relatively talented and has top-notch skills, he is also proud of his skills and has no regard for others. This is the root of trouble.
The incident happened when I was receiving two Indian guests at the restaurant.
At that time, China-India relations were still good friends of the "Bhai-Bai", and Nehru often sent people over.
Ordinarily, this is a very simple matter, because we are also from a third world country and are not particular about food.
How about a drink? Just give me a glass of tap water.
It’s okay to drink the water with dead cats and dogs floating in the Ganges River, and your body is almost invulnerable to all poisons.
But the only thing people care about is religious habits. Don't eat this, don't eat that, there are many taboos.
At that time, the two guests directly proposed to be vegetarian through the words expressed by the accompanying staff.
Everyone knows that the basic principle of communication is to absolutely respect the religious beliefs of guests and respect other people's eating habits, let alone diplomacy. This cannot be wrong.
It’s not that Zhang Dashao’s apprentice doesn’t understand this principle, but this kid likes to show off by nature, or is a bit pushy.
He just learned the ability to "change the flavor" from "Zhang Dashao", and he couldn't help it.
When I think about it, isn’t this the time for me to show my ability?
It’s fine if you don’t eat meat, but I still have to make it taste meaty for you.
In the end, they used their tactics to eat a plate of freshly mixed vegetarian assorted vegetables and a plate of roasted tofu, which made the two Indians talk incoherently and were greatly impressed.
Don’t forget, who is “Zhang Dashao”?
Back then, his ancestor and Liu Haiquan of "Quan Su Zhai" were colleagues, and they were both in the longevity dining room.
What hasn’t the Empress Dowager Cixi eaten? This is the best vegetarian dish.
What big deal is it to bring down one or two "Asan" by means of the palace?
Unexpectedly, although the guests were happy with their meal, after they left, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs turned around and sued the restaurant.
They said they made a diplomatic mistake by deliberately feeding their guests meat.
There are two types of vegetarian dishes: fully vegetarian and semi-vegetarian. "Zhang Dashao's" apprentice just followed the instructions just to show off, without thinking.
The flavor of the roasted tofu comes from a spoonful of broth, which would make Indians red-eyed.
Actually, the accompanying staff discovered this oversight after taking a sip.
But since the guest had already entered, he had nothing to stop him or say anything. He could only report it to his superiors afterwards and hold him responsible.
Of course, the restaurant leader was criticized for this, how could he spare this kid?
The manager will punish this boy and send him to do odd jobs.
But at that time, this kid was afraid that his future would be ruined, so he came crying and begged Master to help intercede.
I would say that "Zhang Dashao" is angry, but he also feels sorry for his apprentice's craftsmanship, which he spent ten years of hard work on.
So I took the initiative to help him share the responsibilities, and told the manager that it was because I had not taught him clearly that he, the master, also had responsibilities.
If you want to be punished, just punish them both together.
It's just that it's better for the child to stay on the stove, and it will be ruined by doing chores.
That's how I saved this kid.
But "Zhang Dashao" really didn't expect what he taught. The apprentice he taught had never tested his character and was just a wolf in Mr. Tiao Dongguo's arms.
When it was his turn and something happened, this guy showed no mercy at all.
