This man is really bold. Zuo Boqing was shocked, and hurriedly said: "It's okay to talk." ”

Li Qi said: "I know, so I won't admit it when I come out of this door." ”

Here it is again. Zuo Boqing smiled bitterly and said, "This dude is amazing, he is Empress Zheng's person." ”

Empress? Li Qi was shocked, and then whispered: "You didn't come to me, did you?" ”

Zuo Boqing didn't give Li Qi any hope, nodded and said, "It's definitely coming to you." Empress Zheng has always been very economical, and she usually looks very closely at the imperial dining room, and you consume so many materials for this disappearance, she naturally can't look at it, and I also heard that the queen has had a dispute with the emperor about this matter. ”

I've known this for a long time. Li Qi spread his hands and wondered: "What does this have to do with me, the emperor asked me to do it, I didn't even instigate it, and I am innocent." ”

Zuo Boqing said angrily: "You won't just take the words and tell the queen, right?" As a courtier, you naturally have to share the emperor's worries, and you still use the emperor as a shield, how can this work. ”

Li Qi sighed: "I'll just talk about it." ”

Zuo Boqing said: "Then you have to pay attention later, don't talk nonsense, if you really offend the queen, then you will suffer." ”

"Thank you Brother Zuo for reminding me, I'll pay attention."

"Let's get out then."

When the two came downstairs, they saw an old eunuch dressed in a light blue chamberlain sitting on a chair, at least forty years old, white and slightly thin, not like Tong Guan, who could see the clues at a glance, and it seemed that he had been clean at a very young age.

"Dude Playboy, don't come unharmed." Zuo Boqing arched his hand and smiled.

"Mr. Left."

The playboy screamed angrily, and Li Qiguang shivered when he heard the voice.

The playman's eyes suddenly fell on Li Qi, pinched his orchid fingers, and giggled: "This is the famous Golden Knife Chef King." ”

Li Qi endured his nausea and arched his hand: "Exactly, exactly." ”

The duke smiled and said: "It's good that you're here, lest our family have to go to the palace to find you, that's the case, the queen said that since the deputy chief manager came to the imperial dining room, she has also tasted the deputy chief's craft, and I suddenly want to try the deputy chief's craft at noon today." ”

This is definitely a feast! Li Qi smiled: "This is a mistake in the next place, I'm really sorry, I don't know what the queen wants to eat at noon today?" ”

The playboy said: "The queen's appetite is not very good today, you just make a few vegetarian dishes, oh, Wei Guifei is also there, so you have to make two people's portions, but you don't want to make too much, the queen doesn't like to waste." Also, also, the queen asked you to do it, and she sent it over in person. ”

This is clearly looking for my stubble. Li Qi was depressed in his heart, but he said, "Yes."

I know what to do. ”

"Then our family will take their leave."

Zuo Boqing said: "I'll send the flower father." ”

The grandfather waved his hand and said, "Our family doesn't dare to bother Manager Zuo, say goodbye, say goodbye." ”

After the dug-in-law left, Zuo Boqing asked, "What are you going to cook?" ”

This has to be carefully considered, cooking is my strongest point against women, don't waste it. Li Qi frowned and pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "There is." ”

"What?"

"Of course, it's a thrifty and simple dish."

"Didn't you say nothing?"

"Sassy, sassy. It's the Arhat fasting. ”

Luohan Quanzhai, also known as Luohan cuisine, originated in the Tang and Song dynasties, and its source is based on the eighteen Arhats, which were originally made of eighteen kinds of vegetarian dishes, but there is not much attention to it, anyway, it is to sit down with the eighteen Arhats, and the taste of the dishes has nothing to do with it, and then after continuous evolution, it has been changed to eleven. They are dried cabbage, chestnuts, black fungus, vegetarian chicken, mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, daylily, ginkgo seeds, cauliflower, and lotus root.

The other ingredients and the imperial dining room are ready-made, but this vegetarian chicken has to be made by Li Qi himself, Li Qi first asked Zuo Boqing to do a simple processing of the rest of the ingredients, and he made the vegetarian chicken himself.

Although the vegetarian chicken has the word "chicken" in its name, it has nothing to do with the chicken, and it is all made with tofu, but a good chef can make the vegetarian chicken so fake that people can't taste it made of tofu at all.

Li Qi first removed a few tofu skins and sprayed them with water to soften; After spraying soft, each tofu skin is flattened, overlapped and rolled up tightly, wrapped into a round stick shape on a clean cloth, and tied tightly with fine hemp rope; Put the wok on a hot fire, put in the water, put in the tofu skin roll, boil for half an hour, take it out, cool it, untie the fine hemp rope, remove the cloth, and cut it into slices more than one centimeter thick; Bring the wok back to the heat, add vegetable oil, cook until it is hot, put the tofu skin slices into the pan and oil for half a minute, pour it into a colander and drain the oil; Leave the bottom oil in the wok, put it back on the hot fire, stir-fry the red grains and ginger slices, add some water, then put down the tofu skin slices, add the sauce, sugar, and stir-fry a few times.

In the end, he cut the vegetarian chicken into slices, and at the same time, Zuo Boqing also got it done.

Li Qi wok put on a high fire, add oil, burn until it is hot, stir-fry all the raw materials except the fat cabbage, add sauce, ginger, sugar, rice wine, fresh soup and other seasonings, stir-fry evenly; Then serve the vegetables, simmer slowly over low heat, see the juice boiling, thicken with wet starch, drizzle with sesame oil, and put it on the plate.

"That's it."

After the dish was ready, Li Qi did not delay and followed the two palace maids towards the harem. was finally able to enter the harem, Li Qi was very looking forward to it, but he forgot about his worries and went out of the clouds.

Generally, men other than the emperor enter the harem, they have to bow their heads and go, but Li Qi doesn't care so much, looking around, but the result makes him very disappointed, although there are a lot of ponds, attics, pavilions, but it is deserted, can only see the palace maid who walks by in a hurry, there is no picture of his imaginary open chest and exposed breasts, frolicking by the pool, swinging, that is, occasionally you can hear the sound of mahjong in the house, not even a concubine, at this time, he really hates this mahjong.

After a while, Li arrived outside the first palace, and after the report, Li Qi came to a room on the left side of the palace under the guidance of a palace leader.

The inside is spacious and bright, but the furnishings are extremely simple, directly above is a couch, covered with a yellow carpet, a red lacquered round table in the middle, a long table in front of the window, a few potted plants are placed on the long table, and some calligraphy and paintings are hung on the wall with the fragrance of flowers, which is probably the most valuable thing in this room. Li Qi originally thought that the places where the queen lived were generally extremely luxurious, but he didn't expect it to be so simple.

At the round table sat two noble with elegant manners and gorgeous faces. Both of them are about the same age, although they are well maintained, but Li Qi, a master of love, still sees some ways, and the preliminary estimate is that they should be over forty years old.

The one on the left is a little older, and you don't need to ask to know that this beautiful woman is the first person in the harem, Empress Zheng. But this Empress Zheng's dress is not as luxurious as in TV, what wears gold and silver, not only that, her dress is relatively simple, light makeup is elegant, wearing a pale yellow dress, with a bead hairpin on her head, her skin is very well maintained, like a thirty-year-old young woman, fair and moving, plump and attractive, and the beauty that even the years cannot erod, the temperament is more graceful and luxurious, exuding the charm of a mature beauty, only a few strands of white silk on the temples are a little dazzling.

The beautiful woman on the right is not as good as Empress Zheng, but she also belongs to the upper class, with a standard melon seed face, willow eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, a slender figure, and extremely simple clothes. This is Concubine Nawei, in fact, Li Qi is more familiar with her than Empress Na Zheng, because she is the biological mother of Song Gaozong Zhao Gou

But the more simple they dressed, the more depressed Li Qi became, because it can be seen that they really dislike that kind of luxurious things, which is actually a traditional virtue of the Song Dynasty, the emperors of the Song Dynasty are all very frugal, it shouldn't be the freak of Song Huizong, which may only be described as the opposite of things.

"Weichen Li Qi see the queen, the concubine." Li Qi was mentally prepared this time, and he didn't have any distractions and saluted respectfully.

Empress Zheng's lips opened lightly, her jade arm stretched out, and she smiled slightly: "No courtesy." ”

The sound is extremely good, making people feel like they are bathed in the sun, which may be the unique charm of the queen.

The two beauties looked at Li Qi unabashedly, which made Master Li feel a little shy. Li Qi is delicate and slender, and he originally belonged to the kind of man who was very pleasing to women, but his hairstyle still made the two beauties shake their heads secretly, in fact, Li Qi is very good now, at least he didn't cut it short, the key is that Bai Qiannuo issued an order to prohibit Li Qi from cutting his hair. But now the hair bun is too short, so you can only tie a ponytail first.

Empress Zheng looked at it and said with a smile: "Although I have lived in the harem for a long time and rarely go out, but in the past year, Li Qi's name is still like thunder, from the very beginning of stinky tofu, unparalleled in the world, and then to the later Siua banquet, the king of the golden knife chef, ranking in the third grade, one qiē one qiē sounds really incredible, in fact, I have long wanted to meet this rising star of my Great Song Dynasty, but I know that you are now wearing many hats, so I didn't bother you." ”

"Wechen is embarrassed. The queen understands the righteousness, understands her subordinates, takes care of everything, and is a mother in the world, and Weichen is really admired and grateful. Li Qi said.

Wei Guifei chuckled: "It is said that the King of the Golden Knife Chef is eloquent, and it is true that he is worthy of his reputation when I see it today." ”

Empress Zheng smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes." ”

Although our Master Li is open-minded, especially his face has always been invincible, but now that he is ridiculed by the two beautiful women, he can't help blushing a little, laughing, and can't make a sound.

Empress Zheng didn't say much about it, and asked, "I don't know what kind of food you cooked for us today." ”

"Back to the queen's words, what Wechen is offering today is Luohan Quanzhai."

"Arhat fasting? But is that the Luohan dish? ”

"So to speak, but Wechen has changed it slightly, so it is called Arhat Quanzhai."

"I really like to eat this Luohan dish. Hurry up and bring it in. ”

The palace maid listened, immediately presented the dish in her hand, as soon as the cover was opened, a burst of warm fragrance hit the nose, but saw that the plate was colorful, and there were six flowers carved with pears on the side, plain and proud, red, green, blue, purple, beautiful, and extremely attractive.

Empress Zheng nodded with satisfaction, stretched out her hand and said, "Sister, let's try this Arhat Zhai of the Golden Knife Chef King." ”

"Yes."

Wei Guifei picked up a piece of lotus root, took a small bite, only to feel that the fragrance lingered around her lips and teeth, and the aftertaste was endless, so she nodded and said: "Not bad, not bad, fresh and refreshing, with a unique taste, it is much more delicious than the previous Luohan dishes." ”

Empress Zheng tasted a cauliflower, Fang Jue had a pleasant aroma, and there was a strong natural flavor, as if she was in the mountains and wilderness, and she couldn't help but nod and said: "What my sister said is not bad at all, although this Arhat Zhai is simple and simple, but the taste is mellow, and the food is not greasy. ”

Wei Guifei suddenly wanted to speak and stopped: "But ---。 ”

Empress Zheng was curious: "But what? ”

"Although this dish is changed to Luohan Quanzhai, it doesn't seem to be vegan, and I just tasted a piece of chicken."

Li Qi smiled: "Wei Guifei misunderstood, what you eat is not chicken, but vegetarian chicken, which is made of tofu?" ”

"Made of tofu?"

Wei Guifei was shocked, tasted it again, tasted it carefully, and felt that it looked like a chicken but not a chicken, and nodded: "Listen to you, it doesn't seem to be chicken again." ”

Empress Zheng also took a piece of chicken and tasted it, only to feel that it was soft and tough, delicious and mellow, and it was difficult to distinguish between meat and vegetarian, but she believed that Li Qi did not dare to deceive her, and praised: "I didn't expect that your cooking skills have reached such a state, and it is incredible that you can make the taste of chicken with tofu." ”
