This bibimbap is very famous, and while eating it, the minister also asked Park Zhiqian about the origin of this bibimbap, and Park Zhiqian was naturally willing to explain to them, cleared his throat, and began to talk about it.
Everyone listened to it very devotedly, as if they were in Goryeo and experienced the customs there, and they gradually began to understand what Li Qi said earlier, the greatest pleasure of tasting food is to taste the local customs.
Song Huizong and the others listened for a while, then got up and left the barbecue restaurant, and came outside, only to see that the whole street was full of people, and many people were shuttling through the crowd at a very fast pace, ignoring him, the emperor.
Song Huizong didn't mind, he was only curious, and asked, "What are they doing here?" ”
Liang Shicheng immediately stepped forward when he heard this, grabbed one, and the two muttered. Liang Shicheng returned to Song Huizong's side and said with a sneer: "Back to the emperor, they actually rushed outside to get money." ”
Due to the limited scale of this street, if you still bring seven or eight people with a minister, it must not be able to fit, so the entourage is waiting outside, but these people usually go out one by one to hug each other, and the heavy copper coins are carried by the people.
But the problem is that they haven't had enough yet, those who are hungry for food and gourmet can't wait to move their small coffers and hurry out to get the money, and at the same time, they also scolded Li Qi from head to toe, which is too tricky.
Song Huizong was happy when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong, and whispered in Liang Shicheng's ear: "Do you have enough money?" ”
The emperor asked, if you don't bring enough, you have to say that you have brought enough! Liang Shicheng hurriedly nodded and said, "Although the emperor can rest assured, the villain has brought a lot of money. ”
Song Huizong breathed a sigh of relief and began to lead everyone to walk on the streets, seeing his ministers walking in twos and threes. It was so lively, and more importantly, that few people paid attention to him, which made him feel refreshed.
Walking and walking, I suddenly saw that the business of a shop on the left seemed to be very good, and when I got closer, I suddenly smelled a strange fragrance coming from inside, Song Huizong was curious: "What kind of fragrance is this?" ”
Li Qi explained with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is the fragrance of olive oil. ”
"Olive oil?"
Li Qi nodded: "Exactly, olive oil is also the oil that is fried with olives." Our Da Song is still relatively small so far. But the Byzantines regarded it as a treasure and used it in almost every dish in their food culture. ”
Song Huizong sighed, raised his head, and said, "Then go in and take a look." ”
"Yes."
Song Huizong frowned, and said: "Don't always say anything about obeying orders, I have already said that there is no distinction between monarchs and ministers here." ”
"Yes."
Cai Jing and the others said embarrassedly. Li Qi scolded in his heart, you have a mouthful of me. The right mouthful, can we think that there is no distinction between kings and ministers?
A group of people came to the store, but saw that it was already full, obviously. They were also attracted by the aroma of olive oil, and Ilte and other Byzantine envoys seemed to have stayed here, and a man with good Chinese skills was talking about Byzantine cuisine to everyone.
Those people saw Song Huizong coming. Just as they were about to get up and salute, Song Huizong raised his hand and stopped them. I took a look at their table, but I saw that the dishes on their table were really completely different from those of Da Song.
At this time, Ilte suddenly greeted him and said excitedly: "The cooking skills of the Golden Knife Chef are really amazing, these dishes not only have our Mediterranean flavor, but also far surpass the dishes of my own country, it is so incredible, I still can't believe it." ”
Li Qi arched his hand and smiled: "Prince Ilt has won the award, in fact, these dishes are still a little different from your Mediterranean dishes, the key is that some ingredients are still different." ”
Ilton nodded and said, "That's, that's." ”
Song Huizong saw that Ilte, who was still unconvinced, and now that he had also surrendered to Li Qi's cooking skills, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Yilt, don't you want to learn a few tricks from Li Qi, he won't teach you." ”
Not to mention, Ilte really had this idea, because as soon as he ate it, he felt that it was his duty to bring this delicacy to Byzantium, after all, Richie cooked Mediterranean cuisine hundreds of years ahead of its time. couldn't help but look at Li Qi in embarrassment.
Li Qi nodded and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this store still has to be opened, and the secret recipe can't be passed on." ”
With the lesson of the previous can, Ilte knew that this task could not be completed for the time being, and there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
"Hurry up and give the old man a portion of this mutton."
An eager voice attracted the attention of Song Huizong and others, and when they turned their heads, they saw that Cai Jing's old man had already found a seat and sat down, and he couldn't wait to summon a bartender, and said excitedly.
The bartender said, "The master wants mutton pie." ”
Cai Jing pointed to the table next to him and said, "This is called mutton pie?" ”
"Exactly."
"Then hurry up. Money money is here. Cai Jing hurriedly took out a hanging copper coin and threw it over.
This old guy is really a big foodie, but it's no wonder, it's almost in the ground, and I'm afraid I won't have a chance if I don't eat it. Li Qi looked at it and shook his head. stepped forward and said, "Master, you have to eat less of this meat." ”
Cai Jing's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "You kid stay aside." "No one can stop a foodie's heart!
Song Huizong laughed, walked over, and said, "Yuan Chang, Li Qi is also good for you." Then he said to the bartender, "Let's have a portion of your restaurant's signature dishes, and cut the mutton pie into four portions." ”
Liang Shicheng immediately began to pay with Gao Yu and others.
What a hardship!
"Yes. Wait a few moments. ”
The emperor spoke, Cai Jingke didn't dare to say more, and recorded this account on Li Qi in his heart.
After a while, several dishes with very special styles and aromas were served.
Song Huizong looked at the mutton pie, and saw that there was jam up and down, red and white, green and green, and the refreshing meat quality was amazing, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Li Qi, what is the point about this mutton pie?" ”
Li Qi explained: "Your Majesty. The lamb is marinated in some herbs and olive oil, layered with hawthorn sauce and locus, and then baked with flour pie crust and cheese. Therefore, this poured mutton pie also has a name, which is called 'Luosuqi sheep'. ”
In fact, this is the most famous dish in Greece, lamb pie, and luosu is eggplant, but because there is no ketchup this year, so. Li Qi can only use hawthorn sauce instead, and those who have eaten tomato sauce may feel regretful in terms of taste, but no one here has ever eaten tomato sauce, so there is no difference.
Song Huizong and Cai Jing looked at each other when they heard it. Cai Jing swallowed his saliva and said, "The old man has eaten a lot of this roast mutton, but such a roasting method is really unheard of." ”
Song Huizong also nodded and said, "Not bad." This roast lamb is also topped with jam and cheese, which is also very peculiar. ”
Ilte said: "Your Majesty, our Byzantium has been sunny all year round, and we have the reputation that the sun never sets. Fruit trees are all over the mountains, all kinds of rich fruits are because there are everything, there are herds of cattle and sheep on the green field, so mutton is the favorite food of our people. In addition, there are many fruit trees, so our people like to mix all kinds of jams together, plus goat's milk as a seasoning. The economy makes this lamb pie show my Mediterranean-style food to the fullest! ”
"I see."
Song Huizong nodded and said with a smile: "This day does not set but it is similar to my Great Song Dynasty's Chaoyang Banner, Li Qi, you should have called the Chaoyang Flag the Sun Flag at that time, which seems to sound better." ”
The sun never sets on the empire? Li Qi looked at Song Huizong in surprise.
Song Huizong said: "What are you doing? ”
Li Qi was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, if you are interested, we can change the Chaoyang Flag to the Sun Never Sets Flag!" ”
Li Bangyan nodded frequently and said: "The sun does not set, the sun does not set, this name is very good, and the meaning is even more far-reaching!" Good! Good! ”
Liang Shicheng patted the horse and said: "The emperor really woke up the dreamer with a word, this day does not set, it is simply tailor-made for my Great Song Dynasty." ”
"Really?"
Song Huizong laughed proudly, he originally said it casually, he didn't expect such a good response, and said, "Li Qi, this matter will be handed over to you." ”
"Yes."
Plagiarism! Naked plagiarism! When Ilte saw that these shameless monarchs and ministers had no scruples about putting the word sun on himself, he couldn't tell how depressed he was.
Song Huizong doesn't care about you so much, he likes it if the sun doesn't set, and he wants to decide, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Then let's taste this Suqi sheep first." ”
Compared to this mutton pie, he prefers Luo Suqi sheep, and the name is easy to remember, literally, it is a dish made by Li Qi with mutton and Luo Su.
Several people have taken the small piece of mutton into their mouths, but feel that an unprecedented taste is eroding their sense of taste, at the beginning, they all feel a little strange feeling, can even be said to be a feeling of resistance, after all, they are used to salty roast mutton, but this mutton is sweet and sour, juicy and tender, but a careful taste, but feel delicious, olive oil is fragrant, the original mutton, all kinds of spices will remove the smell of mutton without traces, and there is no trace of greasy, This is two completely different flavors from the roast lamb of the Great Song Dynasty, with the seasoning of various jams such as Luosu and hawthorn sauce, as well as the sheep cheese that has a myriad of relationships with mutton, which makes everyone seem to see the flowers and fruits all over the mountains, the flocks of sheep on the greenery, and the warm sunshine.
Beauty! It's so beautiful!
This drop of Suqi sheep is so intoxicating.
The different flavors made them feel an unprecedented sense of coolness.
Cai Jing couldn't help but exclaim: "The old man asked himself if he had tasted the world's food, but today, I realized that the old man was just sitting in a well and watching the sky, and this unique taste gave people a wonderful feeling." ”
