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

Why is the faint gentleman laughing so weirdly, it should be ambiguous.

Li Qi's heart tightened and Feng Yinu looked at each other, and then the two of them snorted at the same time, and asked at the same time, "What is the matter?" ”

"You two really have a tacit understanding, that's good, that's good." Song Huizong laughed, stroked his beard and said: "That's the case, this time the army returns, at the celebration banquet, in addition to food, music and dance are also indispensable, the oil dance that the two of you danced in the Taishi Mansion last time, I still remember it vividly, so I want you to dance again, it just so happens that Tong Taiwei and Liang Xuanfu have never seen this kind of dance, so that they can open their eyes." ”

In fact, Li Qi didn't know that the waltz he inadvertently danced with Feng Yinu last time made him a great plus in Song Huizong's heart, Song Huizong's choice of courtiers is secondary, the key appearance, temperament, and artistic talent, these three things are the most important, like Wang Huang, Li Bangyan, Cai Jing, when they were young, which one was not a first-class handsome guy, even if it was Tong Guan's eunuch, it would not be much better, if Li Qisheng was the same as Cai Minde, then let his dishes be cooked. Song Huizong probably wouldn't value him so much.

What kind of emperor is what kind of courtier around him, Cai Jing, Wang Hao, Tong Guan and others have no ability, but they all understand that it is useless for you to play with real skills, you must vote for the emperor's favor, otherwise you will definitely be trampled underfoot, so Cai Jing and the others are all done to cater to Song Huizong, of course, Li Qi is the same.

"Ahh

"No way!"

Three voices rang out at the same time.

Li Qi is 10,000 unwilling, he is still angry with Feng Yinu is one reason, and the other is that he really doesn't want to dance, it's too tiring.

Feng Yinu just exclaimed reflexively, in fact, if she was given the opportunity to choose, she would not go, because she finally got out of this circle, but seeing that Li Qi was so resolute in opposition, she couldn't help frowning and bowing her head silently.

These two parties reacted, and that was as it should be, but Gao Yanei also shouted anxiously, which made people feel a little incredible. Song Huizong was angry and laughed: "Kang'er, why did you say no? ”

Gao Yanei sighed, scratched his head and said: "My nephew just thinks that Li Qi's dance steps are like that, and he is not as good as his nephew, rather than letting Li Qi go, it is better to let his nephew go." ”

This is definitely the most shameless self-recommendation.

I'm not good at dancing? How good are you? Li Qi was angry that he didn't even feel in the mood to speak.

Song Huizong wondered, "Are you going?" ”

Gao Yanei said with a smile: "If Uncle Zhao agrees, my nephew is willing to dance with Feng Niangzi to add joy to Uncle Zhao." ”

If this was Brother Yu's here, he would have slapped it a long time ago.

Master Li couldn't help but glance at Feng Yinu, she thought to herself that if Feng Yinu was unwilling, he would help her talk to Song Huizong, but Feng Yinu didn't look at her at all, lowered his head, and didn't say anything at all. Not only was she a little puzzled, but she could only solve Gao Yanei's straw bag first, and said with a slight smile: "Yanei, I don't think it's suitable for you to dance this oil dance with Sister Feng, because it will damage Yanei's prestige." ”

Gao Yanei was stunned and said, "Where do you start with this?" My dancing skills are much better than Richie's, and even if Feng Niangzi makes a mistake, then I can make up for it. ”

Li Qi gritted his teeth and smiled: "Are you still immersed in bragging and can't extricate yourself?" ”

Gao Yanei snorted: "Don't be unconvinced, why don't we compare?" ”

Bigger than you. Li Qi shook his head and said nothing.

It's a living treasure. Master Li couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Actually, I'm not talking about dance skills, but about height.

I'm also a little involved in this oil dance.,I found that you have to be tall and short to look good.,Yanai, you and Sister Feng are about the same height.,It looks like you're a little shorter.,The temperament doesn't match.,If you match it, it will be self-defeating.。 ”

This Master Li really has a set, and he knows how to fool these two goods from a professional point of view. Li Qi nodded secretly, if Gao Yanei and Feng Yinu were allowed to jump, it would indeed be the same as a sister holding her younger brother, and there was no beauty at all.

Gao Yanai is not thick-skinned, he simply treats his skin as nothing, and said shamelessly: "That's not right, it's also one tall and one short." ”

Master Li said with a headache, and said, "But this dance itself is divided into men and women. ”

Hong Tianjiu said: "But Feng Niangzi is so tall, it is difficult to find a man to match." ”

Gao Yanei nodded vigorously and said, "That's it, that's it." ”

This is not wrong at all, Feng Yinu's height of one meter and seven is outstanding among ancient women, and among the women Li Qi has seen, I am afraid that only Zhao Jingyan and Yelu Guyu can compare with them.

Having said this, everyone's eyes all looked at Li Qi again, indeed, whether in terms of age, temperament, or height, Li Qi is undoubtedly the most compatible with Feng Yinu.

Song Huizong didn't think about letting Gao Yanei go at all, and said, "Kang'er, don't be unreasonable here." Richie, it's still you."

Depend on! How did you go around and around and around to me again, I have said a word! Li Qiwei said, "Big official, I still have to cook, have you forgotten the task you gave me not long ago?" ”

Song Huizong said with a smile: "You can rest assured, of course, after tasting Wuxiang, I will enjoy your oil dance." ”

Admire your sister's. Li Qi said depressedly: "But it takes a lot of energy to do that Wuxiang, I'm afraid that I won't be able to do it at that time, otherwise I can find another woman to dance with Feng Niangzi." ”

Song Huizong began to be a little displeased, and said: "I have also seen this oil dancing girl with dance, and I found that it is not as good as dancing with men and women." Although there are also dancers in the palace who specialize in oil dancing, although they are a combination of men and women, they are still a lot worse than you and Feng Niangzi. ”

Li Qi was embarrassed: "But I'm also a third-grade member now, maybe it's not good." ”

Wang Hao ha: "What's the matter, this dance book is as famous as the poem, and I and the eldest prince of the prime minister also danced it when we were young." ”

What he said is not false at all, Song Huizong is the emperor of art, you are a courtier by his side, if you don't have a little artistic cell, then how can you do it, there are records in the history books, saying that Song Huizong held a banquet in the palace, Wang Hao and Cai You actually pretended to be clowns and mixed in with the dancers to smile for Boyan and came to be praised by Song Huizong 7 But he praised them big because he blamed AA P and praised them, it can only be said that Song Huizong is a very strange emperor.

And it was not uncommon for men to dance in the Song Dynasty, and everyone in the literary world like Su Shi could dance, after all, singing and dancing were very popular in the Song Dynasty.

No, your mother won't be fooling me, you and Cai You can also dance, it's disgusting. Li Qi couldn't help but shudder, and wanted to say more, but was glared back by Song Huizong, and looked at Feng Yinu again, as if to say, Okay, now that all my reasons have been refuted, it's time for you to play, while Master Li is here, you can talk better.

But Feng Yinu now saw Li Qi pushing and shoving in every possible way, and the disgusting expression on Li Qi's face that flashed just now, was also captured by her, and thought that Li Qi felt disgusted because of the thought of dancing with her, and an inexplicable anger rushed up, but his mind was blank, and he clenched his fists tightly under the table, and was silent.

Li Qi saw that Feng Yinu was silent, and he couldn't figure out the situation, and said secretly, this woman is really strange, she will still use a cup to drive me away, and she will be silent at a critical time. Seeing Song Huizong glaring at him angrily, knowing that Song Huizong had reached the critical point of the outbreak, he quickly nodded and said, "Thanks to the love of the big officials, then I will be ugly." ”

After talking about this matter, everyone continued to brag and drink, and the frequency became faster and faster, and everyone drank dizzily.

At the beginning, Li Qi hung Wuxiang on the top beam of the Drunken Immortal Residence, which was by no means a gimmick, after all, he also said that the basic integrity of doing business is still required, and he is not doing a hammer deal.

However, since Wuxiang can have a headache for the emperor and the queen, the biggest couple in the world, it is by no means a simple matter, counting the days, there is really not much time left for Li Qi, he still has to prepare quickly.

In the afternoon of that day, Li Qi rushed to the imperial dining room after lunch.

As soon as he entered the door, this person hadn't seen it clearly, so Zuo Boqing greeted him and said, "I was thinking about when Brother Li would come, but I didn't expect it to be so soon, it seems that the Wuxiang is indeed a headache." ”

Li Qi said angrily: "Brother Zuo, you can just set up a stall to tell fortunes." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Damn! That's all for you to calculate. We're going to be busy in the future, I don't know what you're happy about? ”

Zuo Boqing said: "It's not a secret, when I heard the emperor's celebration banquet called the Wuxiang banquet, I couldn't sleep with joy, I waited for so long, and finally I was able to witness the birth of the Wuxiang with my own eyes, no matter how tired and bitter it was, it was worth it." ”

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."

Zuo Boqing said nervously: "No, Brother Li, this can't be a joke, when the emperor, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and the harem are all staring at you, you must not make a mistake." ”

Li Qi smiled: "Okay, don't be nervous, since I took it, then I must be sure." ”

Zuo Boqing patted his chest and said, "You're really scared to death, let's go upstairs and talk about it." ”

The two came to Zuo Boqing's special lounge, Zuo Boqing enthusiastically poured a cup of hot tea for Li Qi, and then sat in front of Li Qi with his waist straight, like a primary school student, eager to learn, and said: "Brother, what kind of dish is your Wuxiang." ”

Li Qi didn't hide it this time, and said truthfully: "Soup." ”

"Soup?"

Li Qi nodded, and said with a straight face: "Actually, Wuxiang is a soup." ”

"So many ingredients just to make a bowl of soup?" Zuo Boqing was surprised.

Li Qi asked rhetorically: "Then according to what Brother Zuo said, can so many ingredients be made in addition to soup, can they be made in other ways?" ”

Zuo Boqing was stunned for a moment, felt that what he said made sense, and nodded: "Yes!" I should have thought of it a long time ago. After a pause, he added, "Then tell me how to do this." ”

Li Qi didn't answer and asked, "Brother Zuo, what do you think is Tang's taboo?" ”

"Big taboo?"

Zuo Boqing groaned slightly and said, "Naturally, it is greasy and smelly. ”

"Oily, greasy, smelly, to be exact." Li Qi smiled and asked again: "Then does Big Brother Zuo know where these three things come from?" ”

Zuo Boqing said: "Naturally, in the process of stewing, the oil on the animal's body, as well as the foam and dregs suspended in the soup. ”

Li Qi nodded and said, "Not bad." In fact, the preparation of raw materials for soup is only secondary, after all, there are only a few. The key is how well you can remove oil, debris, and odors. When cooking the soup, the raw materials must be heated simultaneously with the water, and cold water must not be added to it, which is conducive to the nutrition contained in the animal raw materials and some umami substances to be fully analyzed and dissolved in the soup. However, there are some things that cannot be dissolved in the soup, so they float in the water like grease and some dregs, so it needs to be removed manually, which is also the so-called soup making technology, but it is difficult to completely remove it, and it is impossible to completely remove it, and all we can do is to minimize the smell and oiliness in the soup, and it is impossible to completely cover it up. ”

Zuo Boqing nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, when we make soup, we generally choose the freshest raw materials, and rarely use sheep and cows, because the soup made from sheep and cows has a great peculiar smell, unless it is used when we want to make zuò mutton soup and beef bone soup." Speaking of this, he suddenly shook his head and said, "Brother Banmen has an axe, and your soup-making skills are much stronger than mine." ”

"Brother Zuo is too modest." Li Qi smiled modestly and said: "And the first trick of Wuxiang is here, I said before, the trick of Wuxiang is to take its essence and remove its dregs, here's 'go, is to completely remove all the factors that affect the quality of the soup without leaving a trace." ”

"Completely removed?" Zuo Boqing was surprised.

"Not bad." Li Qi nodded, and asked again, "Brother Zuo, do you remember the phaseless material?" ”

Zuo Boqing thought about it, felt a headache, and said, "I don't remember very clearly." ”

Li Qi smiled: "Let's put it this way, what do you say will happen if you put those ingredients together in a pot and cook them into soup?" ”

Zuo Boqing shook his head and said, "Then how can you eat it." ”

Li Qi smiled: "Yes, if you follow the ordinary soup making method, you can't eat it at all, but if you only keep the substances that can be completely dissolved in the soup, then it is not necessarily." If we stew chicken soup, if we use the method of non-phase for one chicken, then the soup will be light and tasteless, but if we use 50 chickens, it will be very delicious. ”

Zuo Boqing nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "But if so many ingredients are shared in one pot, they can't be made, not to mention whether there is such a big pot, even if there is, it can't be cooked at all." ”

Li Qi smiled: "I didn't say that I want to share a pot, this is the second trick of Wuxiang, in fact, the seasoning of Wuxiang is different from ordinary soup, and its seasoning is also soup." ”

"Huh? Use the soup as a dressing. The more Zuo Boqing listened, the more curious he became.

Li Qi snorted and said, "Wuxiang is synthesized from a total of nine kinds of soups, of which there is one main soup and eight seasoning soups. The main soup can only have the umami of the raw materials, and no salt or other ingredients can be added, such as the electrolyte of salt - how to say this, that is, salt can solidify some substances and hinder the filling and analysis of some umami substances in the food, but it is not good if there is no salt taste, so you need seasoning, use seasoning to absorb the flavor of the ingredients, and then season it.

In other words, all the ingredients are divided into nine portions and boiled into nine kinds of soup. But in order to meet these two points, first, it needs a special boiler, and in addition, there is a special tool. ”

Zuo Boqing said: "What tools." ”

Li Qi was about to tell him, when someone suddenly came outside the door: "Lord Steward, the dude is here." ”

"Duke? What did he do? ”

Zuo Boqing was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You ask the grandfather to wait for a while, and I will come later." ”

"Yes."

After the man left, Zuo Boqing smiled bitterly at Li Qi: "Brother Li, your trouble is coming!" ”

Li Qi was surprised: "Brother Zuo, don't talk nonsense, I and the eunuchs are generally insulated, why bother." ”

"Do you know who this playboy is?"

"Shemale, oh no, eunuch."

Zuo Boqing rolled his eyes and said, "Who asked you this, I'm asking you, do you know who this playboy is?" ”

"How do I know this, among the eunuchs, I only know Taiwei Liang and Taiwei Tong." Li Qi said speechlessly, who has nothing to do to observe the eunuch, isn't this psychopathic.
