Chapter 31: Barbecue
Qin Degui hurriedly beckoned two little eunuchs and told them to clean them without the slightest bit of soil.
After beating the little eunuch, Qin Degui said with a smile: "Uncle, come with the little one here and see what good things the little one has prepared for you?" ”
"Okay, I'd like to see what good things you've prepared?" Li Zhongyi followed Qin Degui back to the camp with a smile, he knew that Qin Degui deliberately wanted to please him, and there was no need to ruin people's happiness at this time.
No matter what Qin Degui's purpose is, kindness is always kindness, Li Zhongyi is not Qin Degui's direct boss, so he naturally wants to give him some face.
Qin Degui lifted the curtain, Li Zhongyi stepped into the tent, and by the afterglow of the sunset, Li Zhongyi felt that in the middle of the tent, a complete set of exquisite and unusual tea sets were placed.
"Uncle, although the little one is illiterate, he knows that you are a learned scholar, so he has the audacity to make his own decisions and arrange a set of tea utensils for you." Qin Degui said very modestly, but there was a bit of smugness between his eyebrows.
Although Li Zhongyi was very uncomfortable with the method of adding a lot of ingredients to drinking tea in this era, this did not affect his acceptance of Qin Degui's kindness, he smiled and said: "It's expensive, let you bother." ”
Qin Degui heard Li Zhongyi call him by his nickname, the smile on his face became more and more uncontrollable, and he hunched his waist and said, "Serving you as a good uncle is the duty of a villain, and I can't afford your praise." ”
Li Zhongyi smiled slightly and said, "You are expensive, you have done a good job, I like it very much." Go back, when Huang Gong is free, you must invite him over for tea. ”
The meaning of these words is extremely rich, and it is very easy to make people reverie.
The brighter Qin Degui smiled, lowered his waist, and asked for warmth, but he was afraid that the service was not thoughtful and careful.
It is convenient for others to be convenient for oneself. Moving his mouth, benefiting without cost, Li Zhongyi never minds doing more.
In the previous life, in Li Zhongyi's experience, some very talented masters, because of their poor popularity, finally fell on the eve of a higher level because of the crowd's mouth.
Character determines fate!
Li Zhongyi remembers very well that when the old dean was about to retire, his votes far exceeded that of his biggest competitor by several times.
To be honest, Li Zhongyi's skill level is very limited compared to that person, even if he is more clever.
In the end, the nod of the superior, the satisfaction of the patient, and the good popularity of the following, these three together formed a joint force and pushed Li Zhongyi into the position of successor.
If it weren't for the unfortunate car accident, Li Zhongyi would now be a department-level dean who enjoys the treatment of deputy ministers.
Whether it is the salary and bonus of cadres and workers, or going abroad for training (travel), or signing orders for meals, it is just a matter of his words.
The so-called officials want to be deputies, but some deputies who are eager to be the number one but fail to compete for the deputy position, are just sour words in private, which are not worth mentioning at all!
What Li Zhongyi didn't expect was that in addition to Qin Degui's skillful mouth, his skills in making tea were actually very good, like flowing water in his peers, which was staggering.
Three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion.
It seems that it is not easy to be a good eunuch in the palace!
After the spring water boiled, Qin Degui grabbed a handful of green onions and ginger and other things, Li Zhongyi saw that the situation was not good, and quickly waved his hand and said: "I don't like to add these things, so I can drink clear tea." ”
Qin Degui was a little surprised, but he thought it was just Li Zhongyi's quirk, so he didn't care too much.
Li Zhongyi took a sip of Emei Snow Buds that didn't add anything, and couldn't help nodding secretly, the pure natural and unpolluted spring water in this era, the tea brewed is sweet and delicious.
After a few cups of tea, the little eunuch came in and reported: "Master Qin, all the utensils for cooking meat have been collected." ”
Qin Degui asked the little eunuch: "It's all silver frost charcoal, right?" If it's black charcoal, the taste of the roasted meat is far from good. ”
The little eunuch smiled and said, "Thank you for your old blessing, as soon as the little Liu Zi saw that the little one was gone, he immediately gave the best silver frost charcoal." He also said that if it is not enough, just go and get it. ”
Qin Degui smiled proudly and said, "That guy Xiao Liuzi has a bit of eyesight. ”
The little eunuch grinned and said, "Xiao Liuzi used to be short of catties and less than two catties, and he deducted good things. This time, thanks to Qin Ye's blessing, the little one finally raised his eyebrows. ”
"Quack, the better days are yet to come." Qin Degui was a little forgetful, but Li Zhongyi just didn't see it, and buried himself in the tea.
Everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, and does not care about the frost on the tiles of others, and many disasters are just to be strong!
Knowing is not knowing, it is rare to be confused, this is a wise saying that Li Zhongyi has deeply understood in his previous life.
When Li Zhongyi walked out of the tent, from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, countless bonfires were lit, endlessly, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
The tempting aroma of mutton and the strong pungent cumin fragrance waft into the nose with the mountain breeze, which makes people very appetizing.
Qin Degui Jue Li Zhongyi looked around with some curiosity, so he explained with a smile: "The noble concubine likes to be lively, and His Majesty used to like to be quiet, but now he also likes to be lively. ”
The hidden information in these words was extremely rich, and Li Zhongyi just nodded and smiled without saying a word.
[Note: Xiaoyao Hou Shuyou's skirt has been built, skirt number: (7) (5) 2o6 (7) (7) 6 (eight digits, zero in the middle), welcome brothers to come in to discuss the plot. ]
Li Zhongyi sat down in front of the bonfire, and the dogwood he had picked earlier had also been ground into powder according to the requirements, except for a few seeds.
To put it mildly, although the Li family is an official eunuch, Li Zhongyi, the eldest son, rarely has the opportunity to eat roasted meat.
In Li Zhongyi's impression, the memory of the hot meat is already very vague.
Because of this, Li Zhongyi is a little curious, what is the practice of hot meat in this era?
The chef was busy with everyone's dinner on the bonfire, and Li Zhongyi carefully observed that his freshly scorched meat was actually thinly sliced mutton and grilled on bamboo skewers.
The little eunuchs sat around the bonfire, and Li Zhongyi because of Qin Degui's special courtesy, there was a small table in front of him, with a pair of dishes and chopsticks on it, and a few white porcelain plates.
On the plate, cumin, pepper, peppercorns, shallots, and slightly yellowed salt grains are roughly all the condiments for barbecue in later generations.
With little effort, the little eunuch took the meat plate from the cook's hand and gently placed it on the dining table in front of Li Zhongyi.
Li Zhongyi picked up the chopsticks, took a piece of roasted brown mutton slices, dipped some condiments, and threw it into his mouth.
After careful tasting, Li Zhong felt that although the chef's skills were good, because the condiments were not mixed together during the barbecue, the taste was always several breaths worse.
Moreover, for people like Li Zhongyi, who like to eat spicy food, although pepper and pepper are spicy, they are far from spicy.
Qin Degui is now, as long as Li Zhongyi picks up the roasted meat, he will definitely dip it in the powder that he can't name.
Seeing that Li Zhongyi was eating sweetly, Qin Degui couldn't help but leaned over and salivated and said, "Uncle, what's this name?" His gaze wandered around Dogwood's dish.
Li Zhongyi said with a smile: "This is called dogwood, if you are not afraid of spicy, you can taste it." ”
Qin Degui picked up a piece of roasted mutton, dipped it in dogwood and stuffed it into his mouth, and before he could chew two bites, his face was so spicy that his face was red, and he quickly spit it out.
Li Zhongyi shook his head, this is just a dogwood equivalent to chili peppers, if it is the Chaotian pepper in Guizhou in the future, Qin Degui will probably become the first eunuch in China to be killed by spicy peppers, right?
The "daughter red" made by the palace was said by Qin Degui to be very noble and extremely rare. In fact, Li Zhongyi, who is accustomed to drinking 53-degree five-star Moutai, is not interested in this low-alcohol wine similar to Xiaogan rice wine.
The wine is not good, and the barbecue is average, and Li Zhongyi's appetite has decreased significantly.
Qin Degui felt that Li Zhongyi put down his chopsticks and hurriedly asked, "Uncle, isn't the meat delicious?" ”
Li Zhongyi looked around, and felt that everyone was barbecuing or eating meat separately, and no one was paying attention to them, so he beckoned Qin Degui to his side.
"You go and get the cook, and you say I have a unique craft that I can teach him." Li Zhongyi's words were very tactful, but Qin Degui knew that this uncle definitely didn't eat well.
The chef stood in front of Li Zhongyi with trepidation, feeling extremely worried. This Qin Degui's uncle, although he is only a small doctor, is the brother of Huang Qing, the current internal minister and court order.
Huang Qing's protection and wilting are notoriously powerful in the palace. Moreover, the consequences of offending Huang Qing's strict zhòng, almost everyone in the palace knew about the palace maids, eunuchs and miscellaneous servants.
Li Zhongyi saw that the chef's face turned pale with fright, so he smiled and comforted: "I'm not afraid." I'm a little bit trying to get your help. ”
"As long as the villain can do it, you can just tell it." The chef felt that Li Zhongyi's attitude was gentle, and the hanging heart was finally put back into his stomach.
"You come here, I tell you, you should barbecue like this......" Li Zhongyi called the chef to his side and whispered twice until the chef understood his intentions.
After the chef left, Li Zhongyi looked at his back and couldn't help but sigh secretly, if it weren't for the strict hierarchy of Hou Shu in this evil country, if he wasn't an official, then he would have the courage to roll up his sleeves and have a self-service barbecue in front of everyone.
It's a pity that in this era of gentlemen and far bud cooking, Li Zhongyi barbecued meat by himself in front of the public. As long as this news spreads, he will definitely be criticized by the scholars and doctors, and his reputation will be stinky.
For a leisurely and happy life in the future, Li Zhongyi has to endure even if he endures internal injuries.
Under Li Zhongyi's gaze, the chef lifted the kitchen knife, cut a large piece of mutton fat very thinly, and then found a large pot of boiling water and put it on the bonfire.
After the cauldron is spicy, the chef pours the lamb fat into the pot and begins to refine the oil.
Li Zhongyi nodded while watching, he is worthy of being the royal chef in the palace, his knife skills are really good, and his comprehension is not bad.
According to Li Zhongyi's instructions, the chef found a few long bricks, built the prototype of a modern barbecue grill, poured silver frost charcoal into it, and ignited it.
Next, the chef skewers the cut lamb onto bamboo skewers and sets it on top of the white porcelain chopstick rest.
Because there was no special brush for condiments, the chef was in a hurry, so he simply wrapped a piece of white handkerchief in his hand and wiped it with his hand.
After Li Zhongyi saw it, he nodded again and again, the son can be taught!
Wipe the condiment, turn over, smear the lanolin, turn it over, smear the condiment, turn it over......
Soon, the new barbecue made according to Li Zhongyi's requirements was placed in front of Li Zhongyi.
Under the anxious gaze of the chef, Li Zhongyi picked up chopsticks, picked up a chopstick "authentic" kebab, and put it in his mouth.
As soon as the barbecue meat was eaten, Li Zhongyi felt that except for the slight difference in spicy taste and salt, it was not much different from modern barbecue.
With a bite of barbecue and a mouthful of "daughter red" rice wine, Li Zhongyi finally had the most satisfying dinner when he came to this Hou Shu Kingdom.
