宫廷厨师使北京烤鸭的烹饪艺术曰臻完善。IfyoutravelinBeijing,youmustdotwothings:climbingtheGreatWallandtastingBeijingroastduck.ThewellknownBeijingroastduckusedtobeavailableonlyintheimperialcourt,butnowissuppliedinhundredsofrestaurantsinthecity.BeijingroastduckoriginatedintheMingDynasty600yearsago,whenchefsfromallpartsofthecountrywereselectedtocookfortheemperorinthecapital.Peoplebelievedthatit’sagreathonourtocookinthepalaceforonlythosewithoutstandingcookingskillscouldbeofferedthejob.Infact,it’stheseroyalchefswhohavegraduallyperfectedthecookingofBeijingroastduck.',)
