Chapter 736: A Sumptuous Dinner

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Even though Li Qi said earlier, this cannot completely eliminate the grievances in the hearts of the people, his move is undoubtedly to shorten the distance between himself and the people of Fengxiang Mansion and eliminate their hostility towards him, which will provide him with a lot of convenience in the future. Of course, cooking so many people's meals, even if it is the king of golden knife chefs, it is enough to choke!

But as soon as the words were spoken, Li Qi could only fulfill his promise, and he immediately ordered a long stove array to be set up in this street, and then called for someone to prepare the materials he needed, and took advantage of this opportunity to withdraw and return to the county office

"shw!"

"Hmm, what kind of noodles is this, it's really delicious."

I saw that on the street in front of the county office, those people were holding hot instant noodles, serving canned food, sauerkraut, and ouch, and the one they ate was called a fragrant! But I saw that the zigzag noodles stretched and shrunk in the air, swaying with a tempting soup, sparkling and tempting. For these victims, this instant noodle is undoubtedly the most delicious delicacy in the world, not to mention the soup, even the residue is left, and the bowl is as if it has just been washed after eating, and it is not stained.

Li Qi, Zhi Yanzhi, Ji Minren, and those soldiers ate the black and unpleasant, tasteless unknown dry food, which is said to be made of glutinous rice and grass roots, and the amount of grass is more than glutinous rice. However, seeing the happy smiles on the faces of the people, the dry food became extremely delicious, even if it caused diarrhea, it was worth it.

Therefore, corrupt officials have the pleasure of corrupt officials, and good officials have the happiness of good officials.

Before he knew it, Li Qi wiped out his share of dry food, took a sip of water, and said to Ji Minren: "Ji Zhifu, didn't you say earlier that the local landlords have left?" ”

Ji Minren was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Li Qi said lightly: "They started from this land, but when they encounter difficulties, they abandon their homes and leave, since they don't cherish this land, then they are not qualified to stay here, you can give their land to those people who have no land." Also, Ji Zhifu, you go and count how many officials have escaped in the entire Fengxiang Mansion, and write a list to me. ”

"This." Ji Minren frowned and said, "Bu Shuai, this seems to be out of order." ”

Zhi Yan's eyes rolled, and he nodded: "Yes!" Bu Shuai didn't know that the rich people in the northwest were deeply rooted here, and doing so might cause a lot of trouble. ”

Boy, use the agitation method in front of me, you are still a little too tender. Li Qi laughed and said: "Since I am here, then my words represent the words of the emperor, the words of the two, do you want to remind me that the emperor's decree will not work for them?" ”

Ji Minren hurriedly said: "The lower officials don't dare." ”

Li Qi's face sank and said, "Since this is the case, then let's do it." In addition, Ji Zhifu, General Zhe, if anyone wants to return to the land, tell them first, if they don't listen to the persuasion, they will be killed directly, you can rest assured, when this matter is clarified, I will ask the emperor to send you a holy decree after returning to Beijing. Their move is not limited to themselves in an unrighteous place, but also almost caused a catastrophe, damaging the foundation of my Great Song Dynasty, I don't trouble this kind of person, even if they dare to find it, I will not spare them. ”

When Zhi Yanzhi heard this, his heart was extremely happy, and he hurriedly said: "Bu Shuai, please rest assured, I will definitely not strictly monitor this matter, and I will never allow them to mess around." ”

Ji Minren saw that Zheyan said this, so he had no choice but to say: "I'll handle it later." ”

"Okay."

At this time, a scribe came over and whispered, "Bu Shuai." "This person is the scribe of the guard, Li Qi's handwriting is not good, the article is not good, and he doesn't know the rules of the Great Song Dynasty very well, so it's really not good to go without a scribe to follow him.

Li Qi looked at it, nodded, and then confronted Ji Minren and Oriyan: "I'm sorry, I'm missing." ”

"Please."

Richie smiled apologetically, and then walked to the side with the scribe. The scribe took out a piece of letter paper from his bosom and whispered: "Bu Shuai, the letter has been written according to Bu Shuai's intentions, and please take a look at it." ”

Li Qi took the letter, read it carefully, nodded and said, "Very good." But don't say anything to anyone about it, you know? ”

The scribe bowed his head and said, "The lower official knows." ”

"There you go."

"Yes."

Li Qi beckoned to Yue Fei again, and Yue Fei hurriedly walked over and said, "What do you have to do with Bu Shuai?" ”

Li Qi handed the letter to Yue Fei and said, "Order someone to send this letter to Qin Xuezheng in an urgent manner for eight hundred miles, remember, you must hand it over to Qin Xuezheng by hand, this is a secret, and there must be no mistakes." ”

"Yes."

Yue Fei took the letter, and then quickly walked towards the military camp outside the city.

After lunch, the people marched towards the rice fields in groups with hoes on their shoulders and the soldiers, talking and laughing.

And Li Qi also began to prepare for tonight's dinner, looking at the long row of tables on the side of the road, and the stove, his hands were also a little itchy, and he thought, it seems that he has not made this Shaanxi food for a long time.

In later generations, I believe that any chef will never give up the study of Shaanxi cuisine. Because compared with the food of other places, the food of Shaanxi has a very unique advantage, that is, it is real and full. Like Jiangnan cuisine, he focuses on beauty and taste, as for the amount, it is only secondary, and Shaanxi cuisine is different, its first requirement is to have a full stomach, which is a must, and then improve the taste on this basis, so to make this unpretentious material delicious, it is very elegant, don't look at the piece of flatbread is simple, in fact, it is not easy to do a good job.

When the materials were ready, Li Qi began to work, of course, he could not do it alone, and he was anxious to help some local women who could make pasta, as well as the cooks who came with the army.

The main dish of today's riri is still pasta, so the material is naturally based on flour, but when you see the bags of light yellow flour, just from Yan sè, you know that this is authentic stone ground flour, pure natural green sè food, the nutritional value is quite high, and the pasta made of this stone ground flour has a flexible taste and rich wheat aroma. It looks like a lot, but compared to the people who eat, it seems a little cold, but this is the only flour left in Linyou County today, and it was made by the local people with the 20,000 stone military rations not long ago. As for the side dishes, that is, some pickled wild vegetables, meat or something, that is all extravagant.

"Bu Shuai, do you really want to do it yourself?"

Ji Minren saw that Li Qi had washed his hands and looked like he was leaping and trying, and he couldn't believe that this official from the capital would really cook for the people.

Li Qi asked rhetorically, "How?" Is there a problem? ”

Ji Minren sneered: "Is this a share?" ”

Li Qi said: "Governor Ji, I have been cooking for more than ten years, and I have never felt anything important, but you mentioned that I am worried, if I stop cooking, wouldn't I be worthy of the title of the king of the golden knife kitchen." ”

Ji Minren saw that Li Qi had said this, what else could he say, and nodded: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm too pedantic." ”

After all, Zhi Yanzhi was young, and he was quite curious about the cooking skills of this Golden Knife Chef King, so he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Bu Shuai, I'll do it with you too." ”

"Will you do it?"

"No, it won't."

ri。 You won't come back? Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and said: "Then you can learn on the side, the food I made today can also be used for the march, and by the way, pour water and do some chores." Learn to cook, at least you won't treat yourself badly, when I went to Jinguo, their prince was a master of cooking. ”

Let Orihiko do the chores? Ji Minren was shocked when he heard this, thinking that this handsome step is really taboo-free!

Zhi Yanzhi didn't mind at all, and nodded a few times.

Li Qi was not in a hurry to do it himself, he first wandered around the tables, instructed the women to knead the dough, he planned to cook three kinds of northern Shaanxi cuisine, two of which are the famous Shaanxi Eight Monsters, trouser belt noodles and pot helmets, and one is the crystal cake that originated in the Song Dynasty. Since the pot helmet and crystal cake have gradually spread, some of these women can do it, which also saves Li Qi a lot of effort.

However, these three delicacies are not yet mature, and can only be said to be an embryo, the practice brought by Li Qi, but after a thousand years of evolution, it is naturally not comparable to today, and it can be said to be another cuisine.

Li Qi first taught them how to make advanced crystal cakes and pot helmets, and as for the trouser noodles, he was not in a hurry to do it.

The first thing to pay attention to in this pot helmet is the water temperature, and the water temperature must be adjusted according to the season; Second, it is the kung fu of the hand, when the cake is baked, it should be flipped quickly, commonly known as "three times and two turns", and it is cooked when the fire is even, the leather surface is slightly bulging, and the bottom of the skin is golden when it is cooked.

The process of crystal cake is more cumbersome, meticulous, especially filling, and more troublesome, but this trouble does not exist now, there are not enough materials here, Li Qi uses the existing materials to mix a simple filling.

At first, those women felt a little nervous when they saw Li Qi come to teach them in person, but after a while, they got used to it, and felt that the big officials from the capital were too approachable, not to mention their cooking skills, and they could also tell jokes, without a bit of official arrogance, and everyone was enthusiastic, and they were in full swing, and they were also talking and laughing with Li Qi, and they were very happy.

Seeing this scene, Zhi Yanzhi admired Li Qi in his heart, and it was the first time he had seen the government and the people cooperate so harmoniously, even if they had never done it.

Happy times always go by quickly, and before you know it, Ri is going west.

At this time, the street was full of aroma, but I saw that the cauldron helmets next to the table, which were more than a foot and a half long, were piled up, and there were yellow and brown and red, and white and yellow, exuding bursts of attractive aroma. Those children squatted under the table, their little hands supporting their chins, looking up at the pot helmet, their eyes were round, their eyelids were not blinking, and their saliva was flowing out and swallowing inside, which was so cute.

Li Qi smiled knowingly, and asked people to take three pot helmets and cut them into small pieces, and first relieve the hunger of those children. In fact, don't talk about children, those women can't resist this temptation, and the lady who cut the pot helmet twitched her nose vigorously while cutting.

Li Qi was also shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly said: "Auntie, you cut it, don't drop the saliva, otherwise the whole piece will be yours." ”

The eldest lady seemed to only hear this last sentence, and hurriedly asked, "My lord, are you telling the truth?" This whole piece is mine. ”

"Huh?"

Richie was immediately stupid.

The crowd burst into laughter.

Those children took the pot helmet and said thank you very politely, and then gathered around and stuffed the pot helmet into their mouths vigorously, eating it very fragrant.

After a while, Li Qi saw that the hour was almost up, and shouted, "Boil water." ”

He rubbed his hands and began to make zuò trouser noodles, this trouser noodles are a bit similar to ramen, in terms of skills, maybe not as demanding as ramen, but in terms of exquisiteness and special sè, it is not inferior to ramen at all!

Kneading soft, rolling thick, and cutting wide, these are the first three main steps of the trouser belt surface.

Li Qi first rolled the dough into centimeters thick, half a meter long, and then cut it into more than an inch wide, several pieces stacked on top of each other, pulled and pulled. The noodles seemed to have a spirit in his hand, and the spirit rotated in the air, getting longer and longer, and the speed in Li Qi's hand was getting faster and faster.

Those villagers looked dumbfounded, and even Yue Fei and the others looked stupid, this was still cooking, and it was clearly a trick.

After pulling more than ten times in a row, Li Qi's hands shook violently a few times, and the noodles slammed into the tabletop, making several loud "bang bang bang" sounds.

The hearts of the villagers also beat violently.

I saw that the noodles are now one meter long and three inches wide, as for the thickness, it is like a trouser belt, but because it is stacked together, it is probably two or three centimeters, but from the level, the people don't seem to believe their eyes, how many noodles are in these three centimeters, and I saw Li Qi's hands suddenly waved back and forth a few times, and the noodles spread out when they landed, like a surging river and stormy waves, I saw that the noodles were as thin as cicada wings, almost transparent, dancing in the air.

The whole set of actions from the beginning to the completion took place almost instantaneously, fast, too fast.

Then, Li Qi put the noodles into the pot, gently stirred them with long chopsticks, and covered the pot. A new round of "trick" performances began.

When those people saw the back, they all applauded, they could be regarded as seeing the strength of the chef king

.

"Hey, do you smell it, it's so fragrant!"

"Yes! What smells so good? ”

"Ouch, I smell hungry."

"It must be our Bu Shuai cooking, our Bu Shuai is the first chef in the world, the king of golden knife chefs."

"Oh? Let's take a look. ”

At this time, the villagers who went to farm also came back one after another, and just walked to the gate of the city, a strong fragrance greeted them, and hurriedly ran towards the city with their hoes.

Those soldiers also wanted to go in and have a look, but unfortunately the military order was like a mountain, and without Li Qi's order, they could only obediently return to the barracks.

When the villagers who had returned from farming arrived at the gate of the county government, they saw that the table was full of fragrant delicacies, including large, round, and attractive pot helmets, crystal cakes, and bowls of hot noodle soup.

What a great dinner for them!

"Goo-goo-goo"

Everyone's stomachs resonated in unison.

Li Qi laughed and said, "Folks, hurry up and line up, you can eat." ”

Knock knock!

As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers hurriedly lined up, I am afraid that they have never been obedient in their lives.

While Li Qi hurried up, he ordered people to distribute food to the villagers, giving priority to those men who came back from farming, a bowl of noodles per person, a crystal cake and a pot helmet.

When they had received the food, they squatted down by the wall and ate it.

The first thing they chose was the crystal cake, I have to say, this crystal cake is so tempting, crystal clear and as clear as a crystal stone. These are not literati, they chew slowly, bite off more than half of them directly, the skin falls off, those people's faces tightened, and they hurriedly catch the falling puff pastry with a bowl, but then their expressions seemed to be still.

Delicious! It's so delicious!

Cool tongue and teeth, sweet and palatable, smooth and delicious.

"Uh-huh!"

Within two clicks, those villagers wiped out the crystal cake in their hands, and the aftertaste was endless! Hurry up and take a sip of noodle soup, this warm flow down, and it is intoxicating.

"shh

An interesting scene happened, only to see the villagers shivering vigorously, but the noodles seemed to be infinitely long, and they would never see the end. Those who were in a hurry were sweating profusely, but they secretly rejoiced in their hearts, and some of them really thought that the noodles would never be eaten until there was really no way to eat them, and they finally remembered that they could actually bite off.

After a mouthful of noodles, my mouth was full, but this noodle was soft and slippery, the taste was refreshing, and everyone ate it with relish, if this scene was filmed, it would undoubtedly be the best advertisement of the year.

However, in fact, a bowl of noodles is only three noodles at most, and those people eat half of them when they see one, and they cry without tears!

And those who are still queuing, seeing this scene, let alone saliva, even tears and snot are about to flow out, and their stomachs are full of noise. But it is also a great increase in food, as soon as the food arrives, I don't even have the effort to squat, so I eat directly by standing.

Maybe it's really that the pants are long, those people eat halfway, although the aftertaste is endless, but they feel a little tired, and they bite down again, and when they bite down, a strong fragrance bursts out, hitting them directly in the face and penetrating into their nostrils, as if this pot helmet will spray incense.

The pot helmet has four characteristics, dry, crispy, white and fragrant.

Dry, that is, dry, hard and chewy, crispy, crispy inside, crispy outside, white, is white and shiny, and fragrant is naturally mellow and delicious.

You can imagine how you can combine these four things in one food, and you call it unpalatable.

Some people felt that this pot helmet was too dry, and they took the pot helmet and stirred it a few times before eating, and the taste was even more authentic, and the rest of the people quickly followed suit.

At this time, an eldest lady walked up to Li Qi and said honestly: "My lord, do you want me to send some to the military masters to eat." ”

These people are simple-hearted, and they think of others first.

Li Qi smiled and said, "No need, they just need to eat some godmothers." ”

The soldiers he brought with him had all gone through the difficult wilderness survival training, and they were not as delicate as before, and they were already very satisfied with dry food. Of course, after all, this is a dish made by the Golden Knife Chef, and those soldiers still feel a little regretful, especially the Zhejia Army, they only hear its name, but they haven't tasted its food.

When the people had almost eaten, Li Qicai, Ji Minren, Zhi Yanzhi, Yue Fei, the generals and those who helped began to eat.

They didn't have any special treatment, so they sat directly on the steps of the county government and ate. And those people didn't rush to leave, squatting together, talking about Li Qi's cooking skills, and they all gave a thumbs up!

Not to mention, if more people eat together, they still eat more deliciously, and they eat in an atmosphere.

"Bu Shuai, why do you want to squat and eat!"

Seeing that Li Qi was the only one squatting, Orihiko couldn't help but be curious.

Li Qi smiled: "You don't understand this, you have to squat to eat, because he is long enough, squatting to eat is cool enough, I can't help squatting, and I have to straighten up and put the bowl to the lowest, so that I can eat the special sΓ¨ of the trouser noodles." ”

"Oh? And this is exquisite, so let's squat and eat too. ”

Several people began to squat on the ground and learn to eat from Li Qi. Those people laughed happily when they saw these usually strict officials making this move.

Ji Minren took a bite of the noodles and said, "This noodle is really interesting to eat." ”

Orihiko said: "And it's quite delicious, it's the first time I've eaten such delicious noodles in my life." ”

Niu Gao grinned and said: "Of course, Bu Shuai's cooking skills are unparalleled, not to mention noodles, even if you give him a piece of mud, you can make delicious food." ”

Ma Qiao shook his head and said, "I don't believe it." ”

Li Qi said seriously: "I don't believe it either. ”

Niu Gao froze when he appeared, and looked at Li Qi pitifully, as if to say, I'm patting you on the back, and you're still pulling my hind legs.

The drunkard suddenly sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity! ”

Ji Minren was curious: "What's a pity?" ”

Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "It's a pity that there is no wine." ”

The drunkard nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, yes, you still know me, if you can have a glass of wine, it will be perfect." ”

A lady suddenly said: "I still have two or three jars of wine at home, it's not a good wine, if the adults want to drink it, I'll get it now." ”

The drunkard couldn't close his mouth, and nodded vigorously: "Thank you, thank you." I never pick a drink. ”

Where are you not picky, you are clearly a mother if you have wine. Li Qi suddenly waved his hand at the eldest lady and said, "Auntie, you don't have to bother, I don't drink." ”

"I'll drink it!" The drunkard shouted that not letting him drink alcohol would not be the same as depriving him of the meaning of living in the world.

Li Qi frowned and said displeasedly: "What are you yelling about?" Drunkard, let me tell you this, I Li Qi swear to God, if you drink even a drop of wine here without my permission, when you return to the capital, as long as you are still a meter away from the wine, you will be greeted by hundreds of archers. ”

When the drunkard heard about the hundreds of archers, he couldn't help but think of the scene he saw in those two nights, and he trembled, he really believed that Li Qi could do this kind of thing, after all, Li Qi had not done less before, and immediately glanced at Yue Fei angrily.

Yue Fei felt aggrieved, you can't look at me, I am also acting on orders, otherwise who is willing to take hundreds of soldiers to deal with a drunkard, if this spreads, he will not be able to get over his face.

Ji Minren saw that Li Qi and they all called this person a drunkard, and he did look like a drunkard, so he hurriedly came out and said: "If Your Excellency wants to drink, I have a few jars of good wine at home, and I have not been willing to drink it. ”

Ma Qiao shook his head and sighed: "If that's the case, then we can disperse soon, and I won't tell you, he will pour it as soon as he drinks it." ”

"Huh?"

Ji Minren and Zhi Yanzhi were shocked at the same time, and looked at the drunkard in surprise, they thought to themselves, since you dare to call the drunkard, the amount of alcohol must be incredible, how can you pour it as soon as you drink it.

The drunkard said angrily: "Xiaoqiao, what did you say? It's not so bad to be a teacher, right? ”

Ma Qiao was stunned and said, "Could it be that I am wrong?" Every time I drink with you, you have already fallen before I even start. ”

You kid can't get drunk no matter how much you drink, can I compare with you? The hatred in the drunkard's heart, he loves wine the most in his life, even more than martial arts, but on top of his favorite, he can't even take a finger from Ma Qiao, and immediately lowered his head and said: "Xiaoqiao, do you know what the most regrettable thing is in the life of the teacher?" ”

This Ma Qiao really didn't know, and was curious: "What is it?" ”

"I just didn't teach you the amount of alcohol to be a teacher, so that you use this thing every day to humiliate you as a teacher, it's too hateful."

"Haha!"

When Li Qi and the others heard this, they burst out laughing. (To be continued.) )
