Foreword
Anyone who is close to Chairman Mao knows that he is a humorous person. Even if someone accidentally makes a mistake, he can easily get rid of it.
三不stick
In 1947, Mao Zedong went to Abbot Shi Yilao of Xiaohe Village in Jingbian County to hold an enlarged meeting of the Central Committee. Everyone present knew that this was a military meeting, and all those present were hard-core. Ying: Zhou Enlai, Ren Bishi, Peng Dehuai, He Long, Chen Yi, Chen Geng, Wang Zhen and other army leaders, as well as Yang Shangkun and others from the rear work committee, were among them. During the meeting, everyone was quiet and kept talking. of taking notes.
After a long meeting, almost half of the people present felt hungry. Chairman Mao saw that everyone looked like food, so he held a dinner. The eyes of the people sitting below immediately became bright.
I have my best comrades by my side, and victory is in sight . The atmosphere at the dinner table is also very relaxed and comfortable. Everyone can't hide their smiles while changing glasses. There are also some foodies among them who have no time to socialize and just focus on the food. Staring at the food on the table.
After a while, the chef served a dish. Its scientific name is " three non-stick ".

Speaking of three non-stick, it is also a very famous palace dish. Of course, it also has another name - Osmanthus egg .
The creator and creation time of this dish are unknown. However, the legend about it has been circulated among the people.
It is said that when Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty was on a tour to the south, he happened to pass by Zhangde Mansion . The emperor came in person, and the prefect would not dare to neglect food easily, so when offering meals At that time, the "three non-stick" was cut off. Emperor Qianlong was used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas in the palace, and had never tasted this delicacy. As a result, after taking one bite, he wanted to swallow his tongue. The Sacred Heart was so happy that the prefect I wiped off a lot of cold sweat and finally got through this.
If the delicacies on the table are not loved by the emperor, I don’t know how much trouble will be caused.
Emperor Qianlong liked sustainable development, so he ordered his servants to memorize the recipe of this dish. It was this experience that spread the "three non-sticks" to the palace, and a folk delicacy instantly became a favorite in the palace. This shows Qianlong's love for it.

However, the recipe of this dish is not difficult. It is made of egg yolks, starch, white sugar, and an appropriate amount of water. It is just stir-fried because more is used in the frying process. Oily, so that when eating, it does not stick to the plate, teeth, or chopsticks, so people call it the "three non-sticks."
Later, a chef named Mou in Guangheju, Beijing met an imperial chef in the palace, and he wanted to learn one more dish. After going back and forth, he actually learned the "three non-stick" techniques. He was also a very creative person. After a few improvements, the effect turned out to be even better. Then it was gradually spread to the people, and Sanbu Nian became a delicacy within reach of the common people.
All of you here are soldiers who fought in the Northern and Southern Wars. You have never heard of such a story. Therefore, with the blessing of the story, this dish becomes even more eye-catching. They impatiently stretch their chopsticks to the plate. inside.
Chen Geng also put his nose to the edge of the bowl and said: "It smells so good!" Among the people present, only Chen Geng did not touch Sanbu Niao. However, he also made a protective gesture, and others still did it for a while. I really can't do it.

Seeing this, Chen Geng suddenly said: "Hey, everyone, once I was eating in a restaurant on the street in Shanghai. While I was eating, a beggar came. What do you think he wanted?" The faces of everyone Everyone looked confused. They really had never had such an experience. Chen Geng had expected this reaction from them, so he didn't continue to talk about it. He just saw him " "Puff puff" spit into the bowl twice, and then pretended to be surprised and said: "Look, how can you eat this? I had to give him the rice, oh, damn, damn, why did I really vomit?"
Chen Geng’s imitation was so perfect that everyone wanted to laugh, but unexpectedly, Chen Geng actually made things worse. Everyone was happier, but they didn’t dare to show it openly, but it was really funny. How funny!
Among the people present, only Chairman Mao actually laughed.: "Well, you Chen Geng, you can eat what you want, and don't play tricks on all of us!"
In a few words, Chairman Mao dismissed Chen Geng's embarrassment Directly relieved.
Chen Geng also laughed: "The chairman still understands me, so I would rather be respectful than obey him." After saying that, Chen Geng directly picked up the plate, and then before everyone could react, he emptied the plate in one breath. San Bu Guo ate it all.

Everyone present admired Mao Zedong. This is the art of speaking!
Fourteen years later, Chairman Mao was still busy with work as before, but this time he came to Lushan. When Chairman Mao was eating, the security guard was also with him. However, this time, I don’t know whether he was nervous or not careful. He actually knocked over the rice, and then saw that all the food was scattered on the table. The security guard looked at the table. After the meal was served, he shouted: God is going to kill me!
He didn't know how to remedy it. He hesitated and stood there motionless. He had already figured it out. If he couldn't do it, he would just sit back and wait for Chairman Mao's punishment. Although Chairman Mao never did such a thing, this time It was indeed my fault first.
However, Chairman Mao didn't know what happy thing happened to him that day, and he was in a very good mood, so , when he saw the guard being so careless, he didn't even look angry at all. Instead, he went straight to work and took a handful of the rice on the table. A handful of them were caught in the bowl. The guard didn't react for a moment and looked at Chairman Mao's actions in stunned silence.

The guard did not move, but Xiao Xing, an actor from the Nanchang Song and Dance Troupe, stood upright next to Mao Zedong. When he saw him doing this, he couldn't help but remind him: "Chairman, you are grabbing with your hands like this." It's not hygienic."
The guard felt even more guilty. It was originally his own problem, but now Chairman Mao has to pay for his wrong behavior.
As a result, Mao Zedong said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I eat, I eat." The guard did not dare to stand there and be invisible, and hurriedly snatched the bowl from Mao Zedong's hand.
After the guard went out with the bowl, Xiao Xing was also curious. She asked Mao Zedong in confusion: "You can just let him do it. Why do you do it yourself?"
Mao Zedong knew that this girl's experience was relatively shallow, so , He also did not hesitate to teach: " Xiao Xing, if you want others to respect you, you must first respect others, are you right?"
After hearing what Mao Zedong said, Xiao Xing suddenly understood that Chairman Mao was not unwilling to get angry, but he knew how to respect. importance, but she still had a question: "Yes, Chairman . I remember. But why is he so nervous?"

Mao Zedong continued to explain patiently: "He is a new comrade, and these children are good children. "
Xiao Xing also understood immediately. Perhaps, this is why everyone likes to work around Chairman Mao. It is not because of vanity, but a kind of tolerance. Chairman Mao himself often helps everyone out in a humorous way. , which is what everyone needs.
Bitter Melon Stir-fried Chicken
Of course, due to work, Mao Zedong’s location is often not fixed. For example, from October 1969 to April 1970, Mao Zedong lived in East Lake, Wuhan, and at that time, he was selected as Mao Zedong’s cook. It is Yu Cun.
Yu Cun had always tried his best, but when the barber Zhou Fuming came to the kitchen to inform Yu Cun that he wanted to cook for Mao Zedong, Yu Cun was confused, because even Mao Zedong's chef usually didn't know him. Exact meal times.
People nowadays have fixed meal times. Even if there is a delay, there will not be much time interval. However, Mao Zedong is different because he reverses day and night. He usually sleeps during the day and sleeps at night. He worked, which meant that his dinner time in the evening could not be fixed at all. Therefore, neither Yu Cun nor those who had been with Chairman Mao for many years could give an exact time.

Faced with this problem, everyone usually prepares the ingredients in advance according to the recipe. In this way, when they receive the notice, they can make it at any time and serve the meal. However, even so, it is always Accidents will happen.
On that day, Mao Zedong's chef waited until the early morning of the next day but did not receive a notice from Mao Zedong to eat. In this way, a dinner suddenly turned into breakfast. The waiting time was always boring and long. The master chef said Cun also fell asleep while waiting.
It was not until after five o'clock in the morning that Zhou Fuming appeared in the kitchen again: "Chairman Mao is going to eat, please hurry up and prepare it." After hearing this, Yu Cun dared to continue to rest and hurriedly said Climbing out of bed, he cheered up and cooked for Mao Zedong.
follows the recipe. The main dish of this meal is Kung Pao Chicken . He is already familiar with this dish and can make it easily. The main ingredient of Kung Pao Chicken is chicken breast. The ingredients are Green onions are used , garlic, dried chili peppers, etc. . However, Yu Cun was sleepy and was woken up when the sky was gray. Although his body was awake, his brain was still in a chaotic state, which also caused him to be in a state of confusion. Something went wrong while cooking.
Picture | Mao Zedong and Zhou Fuming
According to the recipe, after frying the diced chicken, he should immediately add the ingredients of diced onions and garlic. As a result, his brain did not react, actually poured a plate of bitter melon into the pot, By the time he came to his senses, it was too late to remedy the situation.
At this time, his sleepiness was completely driven away. He thought, he should make up for it quickly. However, he only prepared one portion of diced chicken. It was too late to change the dish now. He looked back at the food in the pot. Vegetables, the bitter melon inside must be ripe Now, think about Chairman Mao again. He must have been extremely hungry. Moreover, Chairman Mao had been tired all night and had to go to bed quickly after eating. Therefore, he simply could not do it again willfully. In desperation, He could only bring this dish to the dinner table.
Yu Cun wrung his fingers, feeling extremely nervous. He did not dare to hide it and directly informed Zhou Fuming and Chairman Mao of the truth.
After Zhou Fuming heard the news, his heart skipped a beat. Why was Yu Cun's service so unreliable? Zhou Fuming himself was also a little nervous. While serving the dishes, he had to pay attention to Mao Zedong's expression. Then he saw Mao Zedong staring at the "Bitter Melon Stir-fried Chicken" with curiosity in his eyes. Mao Zedong must have never seen the matching.

What he guessed was indeed correct. Mao Zedong just looked at the plate of food and asked curiously: "Whose invention is this?" Zhou Fuming did not hide anything and said it directly. When Mao Zedong came out, after hearing this, there was no trace of dissatisfaction on his face. On the contrary, he was interested. After all, no one had done this before.
Mao Zedong was still willing to try such an unintentional thing, so he took a bite of this newly invented dish.
It’s just that at that time, the organization had very strict requirements for the staff who followed Mao Zedong. Therefore, the people who followed Mao Zedong must not make any mistakes. Although Mao Zedong didn’t say anything about this meal, this incident It was Yu Cun's fault first, and he was criticized in the end.
After Mao Zedong heard about Yu Cun being criticized, he didn't want to make him feel uncomfortable, so when he saw Yu Cun again, he joked with him: "Did they punish you? They felt bad, I I think it’s very good, and I will order this dish from now on - stir-fried chicken with bitter melon.”
Yu Cun knew that Mao Zedong was trying to comfort himself, but when he heard Chairman Mao say this, he felt a lot relieved.

Chairman Mao’s birthday
Mao Zedong was not particular about his meals, and the same was true on his birthday. Birthday is one of the most important festivals for a person, but on Mao Zedong's fifty-ninth birthday, the person who accompanied him to dinner was health doctor and administrative secretary Wang Hebin.
Even if it was his birthday, Mao Zedong would not go to the hotel specifically to celebrate it, but would continue to spend it in the lobby of Ziyunxuan. When Wang Hebin received Chairman Mao's invitation that day, he was very happy to have dinner with Chairman Mao. The opportunity is rare.
When Wang Hebin arrived, several dishes of side dishes were already placed on the Eight Immortals table. There was nothing special about these side dishes. They were just pickles, , chili and fermented bean curd sauce beef. When he saw these Hunan dishes, Wang Hebin was convinced. It must have been made by chef Liao Bingfu, but he still found something Something special is that there is no rice and stir-fried vegetables
that Mao Zedong usually eats on the table. Instead, there is a basin of freshly cooked clear soup white noodles, and there are two medium-sized goblets and glasses. Half a glass of wine had been poured inside. Seeing this combination, Wang Hebin was confused. What was going on?
At this moment, Mao Zedong walked out of the bedroom, and then directly greeted Wang Hebin to sit down. Shi Shiran walked over and raised his glass again, smiling and said: "Doctor Wang, come, cheers! Today is my birthday. After saying that, he clinked Wang Hebin’s cup.

Only then did Wang Hebin know that Chairman Mao actually invited him to dinner because of this incident. He felt excited and blurted out congratulations: "I wish the Chairman good health! Long life! " After speaking, he Bored.
Mao Zedong took a sip of wine and said : "Doctor Wang, we are not celebrating his birthday, but we can eat clear soup noodles, right!" Then, he took a bowl from the table and made it into a bowl of noodles for Wang Hebin. Wang Hebin felt flattered and quickly served Chairman Mao a bowl of noodles. Dong was eating noodles and mixed with side dishes, and felt happy: "Doing longevity won't make people live longer, right! It's amazing if a person lives a hundred years!" He didn't say these words suddenly, but before. A few days ago, someone said to him: "I wish you a long life without borders." After hearing this, Chairman Mao smiled and said: "Where is the long life? People will not live long!"
Then, Wang Hebin suddenly remembered that Mao Zedong's secret technique Ye Zilong had asked for instructions a few days ago: "Chairman, birthday wishes from brother parties and foreign leaders. What to do with the telegram?" Mao Zedong had no other reaction after hearing this, and just said: " If you accept it, it will not be published." After thinking for a while, he continued: "If people want to ask why their messages were not published in the newspaper, just say that this is the habit of our country." Wang Hebin smiled. This year On his birthday, Mao Zedong still did not make a big deal. Instead, he had a meal of clear soup noodles with the ordinary staff, and passed by simply.
Perhaps, only those who follow Mao Zedong know how happy it is to be around him, and sometimes Mao Zedong can come up with unexpected jokes.

I remember another time, Han Afu cooked food for Mao Zedong, but he didn't pay attention when cooking. He accidentally put too much salt . Han Afu didn't taste it himself, so he just served Chairman Mao on the table.
They didn't notice anything different about Mao Zedong when they were eating. The only difference was that he seemed to drink two more glasses of water. Perhaps Chairman Mao was a little thirsty today, so they didn't take it to heart.
However, Mao Zedong later called Han Afu to his side, and Han Afu couldn't figure it out. Why did Chairman Mao call him over?
With curiosity, Han Afu walked in. As a result, Mao Zedong opened his mouth and asked Master Han: "What is your master's surname?"
Master Han's monk Zhang Er was confused. He really couldn't understand what Chairman Mao meant, but , nothing will happen, and then he said: "Chairman, my surname is Han!" Didn't Chairman Mao know about this? Why did he ask again?
After hearing this, Mao Zedong pretended to be serious: "I see that this Master Han of yours is no longer Master Han, but has become Master Xian!"
Picture | Mao Zedong Han Afu
It was only then that Master Han realized that his dish was cooked It was so embarrassing that Chairman Mao was embarrassed to tell him directly, so he could only tell him the matter tactfully in this way.
Master Han's face turned red. He was really embarrassed about this kind of thing. The most important thing was that he was really at fault in this matter.
Chairman Mao is a good leader. He will not make anyone feel uncomfortable, so there is no need for them to feel uneasy. Even if they do something wrong, he will come to their rescue.
