The coffee story lost the princess and won the Viennese coffee

In 1805, Napoleon led his army into Vienna and occupied the Austrian emperor's summer palace, the Fountain Palace. He not only slept in Queen Terezia's big bed for a year, but also forcibly married the Austrian princess. During the French occupation, when the Austrians had nowhere to vent their anger, some Viennese cafe owners asked the running hall to put on Napoleon uniforms to serve the guests, which was regarded as a kind of AQ resistance.

As a result of the war, Vienna cafes were in short supply and prices rose again and again, and some people were quick to replace coffee with a grass root that tasted similar to coffee. However, after all, "substitute coffee" can not replace coffee, resulting in fewer and fewer guests in the Vienna Cafe; in addition, out of fear of the French revolution, the Emperor strengthened the control and monitoring of political activities in the Vienna Cafe, stipulating that only official newspapers can be read in the Vienna Cafe, and banning the display of political books in the Vienna Cafe. Ernst, a German poet, said: in the cafes of Germany, France and Italy, he can always hear free speech and experience the vitality of thought, while in the Vienna Cafe, the guests whisper and look frightened. In early 1810, the government issued a ban on the sale of coffee.

The ban is a headache for all Viennese. Viennese, who are used to using Viennese coffee with bread, cannot accept this reality. Without Viennese coffee, the Viennese cafe naturally does not live up to its name, selling wine at noon and hot food in the evening, which has actually become a fast food restaurant.

Four years later, with the abdication of Napoleon, the Viennese resumed life in the Viennese cafe, and the long-awaited day suddenly came, which made the Viennese get out of control. The battle for Viennese coffee took place in the streets, and the citizens ignored their demeanor, with men and women wrestling with each other, some with flowers in their heads and others with broken ribs.

Although the order is in disorder, I am in a good mood. Anyway, the Austrian lost a princess and won back Viennese coffee. The bitter Viennese coffee injected resurrection into the imperial capital. Viennese coffee likes to add milk, cream, milkshakes and sugar, this tradition continues to this day, seems to be at odds with Napoleon who can't smell the milk in the coffee.
