Ugly? This is not a song selection, what does it have to do with looks? Zuo Boqing felt a little surprised by Li Qi's words, but he didn't study it carefully, and pointed his hand at the middle-aged man who was walking in front of him in white sè clothes, with thin cheeks and a wisp of goat's whiskers, and said, "The one wearing white sè clothes is the imperial chef of the Jin Kingdom, Long Jiang." ”

"Oh?" Li Qi couldn't help but look at it twice.

Zuo Boqing pointed to the middle-aged man on the left, who was dressed in blue sè clothes, slightly chubby, and had a particularly prominent wide mouth: "The one in blue sè clothes is the imperial chef of Dali, Gao Ping." Then he pointed to the middle-aged man on the right who was wearing a gray robe, inverted eyebrows, and a more vicious face, and said, "The remaining one is the imperial chef of Western Xia, Guo Qian." ”

Li Qi smiled and said, "It's really uglier than the other." ”

At this time, those imperial chefs also seemed to notice Zuo Boqing and walked over to this side. Several people saluted each other.

Long Jiang laughed and said: "Manager Zuo, I haven't seen you for three years, don't come to harm." ”

"Master Long's body is still so tough."

Zuo Boqing smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to Li Qi beside him, and said: "Come, let me introduce you to you, this is my first official Yan envoy of the Great Song Dynasty and the deputy head of the imperial dining room, Li Qi, is also the imperial chef sent by my Great Song Dynasty to participate in the Four Kingdoms Banquet this time." ”

Gao Ping glanced at Li Qi in surprise and said, "It turns out that this is Master Li, who is unparalleled in the world when he brewed, rude, rude." ”

Li Qi arched his hand and smiled: "Be polite, be polite." ”

As for Longjiang and Guo Qiandu, they were very bland, but they just arched their hands and didn't say much.

Although the military force of the Great Song Dynasty was not good, the Han culture reached its peak, so most of the people in the surrounding countries could also speak Chinese, not to mention these imperial chefs.

Long Jiang narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Manager Zuo." Three years ago, Long lost to you, Long has been obsessed with this matter, in the past three years, Long has been diligent in practice, hoping that one day he can compete with the left manager, but unfortunately I didn't expect that this time the left manager would abdicate and let Xian, alas, it's really regrettable. ”

Wow! So arrogant? Three years ago, it was clear that you won, but you said that you were like losing, are you not thinking that you are mocking Brother Zuo. The face sè sank. Squinting at a glance, he saw that Zuo Boqing's face was slightly embarrassed, and he felt a little guilty in his heart, if he didn't come, this time it would definitely be Zuo Boqing who went to attend the Four Kingdoms Banquet, which was an honor, but later after the emperor ordered him to participate in the Four Kingdoms Banquet, Zuo Boqing was not only not annoyed, but supported him strongly. This kind of mind alone is not something that ordinary people can have. Without waiting for Zuo Boqing to speak, he smiled and said, "Master Long's words are wrong. ”

Long Jiang sighed and said, "I don't know what Master Li has to say?" ”

Li Qi smiled and said, "I thought you should say yes." There is a knife for killing chickens, this is like what our chef should say, besides, Mr. Zuo won the imperial chef of Liao. It's not the imperial chef of the Jin Kingdom, and you can't fight with eight poles. ”

The corners of Zuo Boqing's mouth twitched a few times, this Li Qi's scolding was really to the point.

Long Jiang's face sank. A flash of anger flashed in his eyes, defecting to the enemy and treason, this is his biggest taboo, and he snorted angrily: "I didn't expect Master Li to be young, but this tone is quite arrogant." ”

Li Qi sneered: "Oh, I understand, it turns out that the reason why Master Long can be so arrogant is not because of his strength, but because he is old, and the younger brother must remember Master Long's teachings and wait for a hundred and eighty years to be arrogant." ”

The two imperial chefs and the eunuchs who led the way couldn't help laughing out loud when they heard Li Qi's fallacy, and they lowered their heads one after another, and it could be seen that they were very uncomfortable.

Long Jiang's face was like eating flies, he nodded again and again, and said, "Okay, okay, then let's see the real chapter under the knife." ”

Li Qi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Actually, you can also see the real chapter outside the knife, I don't know if Master Long has heard of the gambling of Hongwan Gambling House, the little brother is not talented, he bought a thousand yuan of the little brother to win, if Master Long is confident, can he try it, he can not only win the competition, but also make a lot of money, why not do it." Coincidentally, I happen to know the proprietor, do you want me to introduce you, it's still too late to place a bet. ”

In terms of eloquence, Li Qi can be comparable to Wang Huang, how can this Longjiang be his opponent, and he will be eaten to death in just a few words. Long Jiang sneered and said, "This doesn't bother Master Li, Long has never been interested in things other than cooking." Long still had something to do, so he left first. With that, he waved his robe and left with a look of anger on his face.

The other two also gave their leave.

Zuo Boqing smiled bitterly: "Master Li, this Longjiang has always been arrogant, why should you meet him in general, it's good now, the banquet hasn't started yet, and you have offended people all over again." ”

Li Qi remembered Mrs. Qin's earnest teachings again, and he couldn't help but feel a little weak in his heart, and rolled his eyes and said, "Please, I never planned to be friends with this kind of scum who sells for glory, okay." Let's go, let's go up to the Dragon Pavilion and take a look, I'll have to calculate the angle. ”

Although the Four Kingdoms Banquet has to compete in three ways, they are all completed in one day, the morning competition is knife work, the noon is soup, and the evening is the main course, and the winner of two dishes wins, but if each person wins one, then the winner of the main course is the crown.

The jury is composed of gourmets from various countries, because in ancient times, ordinary people could not be gourmets at all, so they were generally some princes and nobles, and the two did not conflict. These people have tasted more than a thousand delicacies, the taste is very tricky, the general food is not unpalatable, and they are all people who love food, only come for food, from the past examples, have never found any unspoken rules.

In addition, Cai Jing is also impressively listed, although he is already at home, but he is the number one foodie in the Great Song Dynasty, how can he be missing from such a banquet.

Since it is a gastronomic event, in addition to the food of several imperial chefs, the host will cook a variety of dishes around the clock, all day long.

However, this time, all the fine wines are provided by the Imperial Wine Workshop, and in addition to the peerless, almost the entire series of the world's unequaled ones is included. The envoys of the other three kingdoms also came to the Great Song Dynasty for a while, and they also tasted this unparalleled in the world, but it was only the tip of the iceberg. Today is just the right time for them to have a comprehensive understanding of the world's unparalleled.

The next morning. Song Huizong led a group of ministers and envoys from various countries to the second floor of the Dragon Pavilion Pavilion, and at a glance, the entire Dragon Pavilion was in full view. At this time, the whole Longting Garden is full of lights, extravagant and luxurious, beautiful and magnificent. Naturally, the banquet is also a golden cup and jade cup, a jade plate of delicacies, poor and extravagant.

In terms of wealth, the Liao State was originally able to compete with the Song Dynasty, but it was a pity that it was destroyed by the Jin State. And the Jin State has just been founded, so naturally it cannot be compared with the Great Song Dynasty, and the envoys of various countries looked at this luxurious scene, and their faces were full of jealousy and envy.

The four imperial chefs, including Li Qi, also arrived at the Dragon Pavilion on time. The people in the attic shouted in unison, "Hurray, hooray, hooray." ”

Song Huizong raised his hands and said with a smile: "Zhong Aiqing is flat." ”

Li Qi and the other imperial chefs stood in the middle of the hall, while the rest of the ministers took their seats. Liang Shicheng stood on the left and began to recite a long and boring opening sentence in his signature sharp voice. The meaning is nothing more than the praise of Song Huizong and the respect for neighboring countries.

Hearing that Li Qi was drowsy.

After Liang Shicheng finished reading, Song Huizong waved his hand and said, "Take it." ”

I saw a small eunuch on the side walking up with a tray. In the tray is a kitchen knife made of pure gold, shining gold, the blade is inlaid with nine shining pearls, and it is also engraved with the words "the first in the world". The font is a thin gold font created by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and the handle of the knife is inlaid with an emerald green gemstone, which is dazzling.

The ministers and envoys of various countries saw this. They whispered one after another, showing surprise on their faces. In fact, the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty were very frugal, which can be seen from the tombs of the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty. At the beginning, Song Zhezong initiated the Four Kingdoms Banquet, mainly because of the need for politics, so the victors generally got some money, cloth and other rewards, but Song Huizong was a very extravagant emperor, and he couldn't govern the country and fight, but he really didn't have anyone else to play this set.

Song Huizong smiled slightly: "This nine-star golden knife was specially prepared by me for this Four Kingdoms Banquet, if anyone can win the laurels at this Four Kingdoms Banquet, I will give him this treasure knife, and personally issue an edict to crown him as the king of the kitchen." When he said this, he deliberately glanced at Li Qi.

Except for Li Qi, the rest of the imperial chefs were all very excited, and they all bowed to the emperor. This is a great honor for a chef. And Li Qi, a businessman, has never dared to be interested in these things, besides, he has been a chef for a long time, he still loves money, although this knife looks good, but it doesn't work, and it's not safe to put at home without even a safe.

If this is known to Song Huizong, he must vomit blood in anger.

After Song Huizong finished speaking, the banquet officially began.

As soon as the imperial chef stepped down, the dancers poured in, swinging their graceful bodies, and a series of delicacies prepared by the chefs of the imperial dining room were served one after another, including Li Qi's nǎi oil cake, double nǎi skin, roast duck and other special dishes.

As soon as he got out of the attic, Wu Xiaoliu asked in a low voice, "Brother Li, how much did you say that nine-star golden knife was worth?" ”

Li Qi said: "I also want to know this, otherwise, when we win it home, you can help Brother Li sell the knife, so that we can know how much it is worth." ”

"Sold?"

Wu Xiaoliu was shocked and said: "Brother Li, you can't help it, if the emperor knows about this, then you have to cut off your head." ”

Li Qi sighed and said, "I also know this, and I'm just talking about it casually." ”

Wu Xiaoliu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a face full of gossip: "Brother Li, I went around this morning, what did you say I saw?" ”

Li Qi laughed and scolded: "cāo! Why did you kid do this son without asshole again? ”

"Aren't I curious?" Wu Xiaoliu smiled and said, "Brother Li, I saw that the Dali Imperial Chef prepared a big watermelon, which is so big." He said that he also gestured with his hand, and said: "The Xixia imperial chef has prepared a lot, a winter bamboo shoot, a white radish, and a gourd, and I don't know what he is going to do." ”

Li Qi said: "Isn't it common to use fruit to carve, do you need to be so surprised?" ”

"It's not strange, but the things prepared by the Jin Guo Imperial Chef are a little weird, it's a piece of big tofu, the size of a chessboard, and it's a whole piece, and there's a big wooden basin."

Li Qi frowned, then smiled and said, "It seems that the person surnamed Long does have some skills." After a pause, he said to the two apprentices, "If you want to carve with tofu, you will have to practice hard for at least five years." ”

"Five years?"

Wu Xiaoliu and Chen Dazhu both showed surprise. (To be continued.) )
