Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Why didn't ancient people live long? Li Qi now understands that the most important thing is that communication is really inconvenient, as long as there are relatives traveling, it is only for the sake of being in a hurry, if you play so many times, how can this heart suffer.
It's really a boat to do, and a boat to sit on.
Fortunately, in the past few days, under his careful care, coupled with the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor, Master Li's health has improved greatly, and the smile on his face has become more.
In the end, his hard work was not in vain.
In the afternoon of this day, after Li Qi made Master Li's soup, he began to make the dishes required for the opening of the bar, and in three days, the bar will officially open, and now the news about the bar has also spread, and everyone is looking forward to it, after all, Zui Xianju has brought them too many surprises.
"Master Li, someone is looking for you."
A bartender stood in the doorway and said they couldn't go into the kitchen without Richie's orders.
But before the bartender's words fell, a figure walked in directly, "Master Li." ”
"Yo, Brother Zuo, why are you here?"
Li Qi's face was overjoyed, and he greeted him and said, "Brother Zuo, the kitchen is dirty, let's go outside and talk." ”
The person who came was Zuo Boqing.
Uncle Zuo glanced at him innocently and said, "Master Li, although your cooking skills are higher than mine, I have spent more days in the kitchen than you." ”
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Where is it, Brother Zuo's cooking skills, Li Qi is beyond reach." ”
Zuo Boqing smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Master Li, please take a step to speak." ”
The two came to the edge of the pyre, and Zuo Boqing whispered: "Master Li, the big official is now at Mrs. Li's." ”
Li Qi exclaimed: "What? Are you saying that the emperor is here? ”
Zuo Boqing nodded and said, "So you have to prepare a meal for two people today." ”
md。 Thanks to the blessing of Feng Yinu, Lao Tzu has always cooked two meals, but today the emperor is here, presumably that Feng Yinu will not go.
Li Qi nodded, pointed to the stew pot on the stove, and said, "Brother Zuo, please rest assured, I have always been prepared for anything." ”
Zuo Boqing looked in the direction of his finger, frowned, and said, "I'm afraid this dish is not enough." As he spoke, he lowered his voice a little and said, "Master Li, the big official wants you to spend more time today, and it is best to make Mrs. Li eat more happily." ”
"Isn't the teacher unhappy?" Li Qi was stunned.
Zuo Boqing coughed lightly, shook his head like a rattle, and said, "I didn't say this." ”
Exercise! Play this trick with me.
Li Qi frowned and glanced at him, and then suddenly realized, it must be the emperor and Master Li who had an awkward quarrel, but it's no wonder, others have lovers, you also have lovers, but others abandon their wives and run to live with their lovers, you have a rare visit once a month, it's really nameless, no one, if I were a woman, I wouldn't be happy. With a face full of gossip, he said: "By the way, will the big officials spend the night in the attic today?" ”
Zuo Boqing said in fear: "I don't know this, why are you asking this?" ”
Li Qi said with a smile: "I just want you to sue the big official, the teacher and the girl are unwell, and it is not suitable for sexual intercourse." ”
This person is really a master of art and bold, and he actually takes care of the emperor's private life. Zuo Boqing didn't dare to talk about this topic anymore, and said: "Don't worry about this matter, the big official has his own plans, you better hurry up and think about what you will cook later." ”
This guy is tight, right?
Li Qi was a little disappointed in his heart, frowned and thought about it.
Zuo Boqing stood aside and didn't dare to disturb him.
After thinking for a while, Li Qi's eyes lit up and said, "There is." ”
So fast?
Zuo Boqing said: "What are you going to cook?" ”
Li Qi smiled mysteriously and said, "Brother Zuo will know later." ”
Zuo Boqing smiled and said, "Do you need me to avoid it?" ”
Hypocrisy! If you have the heart to avoid it, what do you ask me to do?
Li Qi secretly despised Zuo Boqing's personality in his heart, but said with a smile: "Isn't it just to make a dish, where is it so mysterious, and it is really good to be able to get the guidance of Brother Zuo." ”
"Master Li, don't scold me, how can I have the ability to guide you."
Zuo Boqing smiled, it seemed that he didn't plan to leave.
Li Qi walked to the stove and said, "Liuzi, you guys will immediately help me prepare an osmanthus fish and a hen." ”
As soon as Wu Xiaoliu heard this main ingredient, he knew that Li Qi was going to make some strange dishes again, so he went to prepare the ingredients.
Zuo Boqing said: "Your apprentices are also diligent. ”
Li Qi shook his head and sighed: "They are also diligent at this time, and at other times they are like uncles, where to move." ”
After a while, Wu Xiaoliu and the others got the materials.
After making preparations, Li Qi began to use the knife, and Zuo Boqing, a kitchen idiot, stood aside to observe.
Li Qi first broke open the belly of the chicken, took out the chicken fat and put it into a pot of boiling water to fly water to remove some of the water and odor.
When Zuo Boqing saw it, he thought that Li Qi was going to cook with this thing, and he was very curious.
But I never thought that Li Qi was just refining chicken fat, but don't underestimate this refining chicken fat, if you haven't been in the kitchen for two or three years, you just tell him the method, he can't refine the best chicken fat, this refining chicken fat has very high requirements for the heat, you have to refine it over low heat, if the temperature is slightly higher, the umami will be greatly reduced.
After the chicken fat was refined, Li Qi made a seasoned wine and sauce, and then made a starch thickening and a clear soup, and as for the fish and chicken, he hardly touched it.
After the ingredients are ready, Li Qi peels and bones the cinnamon fish, washes it, takes the chicken breast, peels it, and washes it. Cut the two kinds of meat into 1 inch and 5 minute long strips, put them in two bowls, add cooking wine and salt and mix well, then add egg white and soybean flour respectively, and pulp the shredded fish and shredded chicken.
Then cut off the roots of the bean seedlings, wash them, and cut them into inch pieces.
Sit in a frying pan, pour in vegetable oil, when it is 50% hot, put the shredded fish and shredded chicken into the pot and cook respectively, pour them into two colander spoons respectively, and control the oil.
Leave the bottom oil in the stir-fry pot, add a little shredded chicken and cooking wine, salt and sauce, pour in a little clear broth, stir-fry slightly, add the soybean flour diluted with water, thicken, then pour it into the middle of the disc, and then the bamboo tweezers begin to carefully carve the shredded chicken.
Zuo Boqing, Wu Xiaoliu and the others couldn't understand what he was doing.
After a few moments, a lifelike phoenix stood upright in the middle of the plate.
Zuo Boqing was amazed, and couldn't help but praise: "Master Li, you are really ingenious, Zuo is ashamed of himself." ”
"Brother Zuo is too modest, I'm just an axe in the class."
Li Qi smiled slightly, these are some basic skills, and put the iron pot on the stove, leave the bottom oil, put in the smooth shredded fish, cooking wine, and a little salt, pour in a little clear soup, stir-fry slightly, and then thicken with wet starch, and then pour it into the four sides of the disc, and begin to carve it carefully.
After another half-sound, a swimming dragon faded into existence, coiling around the phoenix.
This is not over, Li Qi put in the bean sprouts and stir-fried, at the same time add a little cooking wine and salt, stir-fry evenly, and pour it directly from the head of the phoenix.
Li Qi, who is striving for perfection, has placed some greens and fruits on the edge of the plate to add icing on the cake.
Zuo Boqing looked stupid, staring at this dish blankly, and didn't know how to describe it.
And Wu Xiaoliu has already drooled.
After making this dish, Li Qi prepared a few more side dishes, and then hurriedly came to Master Li's attic with the wine and food.
At this time, Song Huizong and Li Shishi were playing mahjong, but Li Shishi did not show the usual smile on his face, but Song Huizong was playing with great interest.
"Xiaomin Li Qi see the emperor."
"Zuo Boqing sees the emperor."
"Get up."
Song Huizong sniffed it and said, "Wow! It's so fragrant, Richie, what kind of dishes have you prepared today? ”
Li Qi saluted and said: "If you go back to the emperor, the dish prepared by Xiaomin this time is called 'Dragon and Phoenix Tenderness'." ”
"Dragon and phoenix tenderness?"
Song Huizong was stunned for a moment, then reacted, glanced at Master Li, and said with a smile: "What a dragon and phoenix tenderness, this name is good, quickly submit it for me to take a good look." ”
Saying that, he and Master Li couldn't wait to leave the mahjong table and came to a round table to sit down.
The maids hurriedly presented the dishes.
The first dish was still a mutton soup, Song Huizong sniffed it and nodded slightly, but his eyes were on another plate.
When the maid uncovered the cover, the golden light was shining, Song Huizong and Master Li gasped at the same time, dumbfounded, this is really beautiful, this is a dish, it is clearly a work of art.
"Master Li, this--this is the tenderness of the dragon and phoenix?" Master Li said in a trembling voice.
Li Qi nodded and said, "Not bad." ”
"Incredible, incredible."
Song Huizong shook his head and praised: "Li Qi, your cooking skills have reached the pinnacle of perfection." ”
Damn, some of them ate it, and even the sycophants were patted. Li Qi was neither humble nor arrogant: "The emperor has won the award." ”
Master Li suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "Master Li, you are really too partial. ”
Song Huizong frowned and looked at Master Li with an inquiring gaze.
Obediently, you have irregular menstruation, don't cheat Lao Tzu, such ambiguous words, you actually said it in front of the emperor, damn, the two of us are innocent.
Li Qi's face froze, and he saluted: "Do you still want the teacher and the girl to give advice?" ”
Master Li glanced at him complainingly, and said, "You have been taking care of my diet for some days, why have you never seen you cook such a beautiful dish?" Now that the emperor came, you immediately presented it, what are you not partial? ”
can compete with the emperor and be jealous, I'm afraid only Master Li dares to do this.
Song Huizong listened, stroked his beard, smiled slightly, and looked at Li Qi narrowly.
Day. You also know that he is the emperor, of course Lao Tzu has to be treated differently, if he is not happy, I will die, and the emperor asked me to cook to make you happy.
Li Qi was sweating profusely, and suddenly his heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Miss Shishi, this is not my fault, this dish is called dragon and phoenix tenderness, and its meaning lies in the word 'tenderness', if there is a phoenix without a dragon or a dragon without a phoenix, this dish will lose its true meaning, only when the dragon and phoenix are together, and they are stronger than gold, can they taste the taste of this dish." ”
