Chapter 268: To have power is to be capricious
After coming to Wangcheng, Li Qi really got rid of a Grandma Liu into the city, looking around, only to feel that the design here is really magical, although the architectural style has a strong sense of design, but the surrounding environment makes you feel that you are in the deep forest.
On both sides of the solemn jade road, you can see the gurgling stream from time to time.
Around the corner, you can see the majestic waterfall!
As far as the eye can see, there is lush greenery everywhere, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.
After walking for a long time, they came to the front of a magnificent mansion, saying that it was a mansion, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a palace at this scale, anyway, it was much more magnificent than the palace that Li Qi had seen in the Northern Song Dynasty.
The purple gate alone is almost ten zhang high, much taller than the city gates of later generations, you can imagine how large the scale of this mansion is, and there is a huge plaque hanging on it---- Zijin Cave Mansion.
The purple tile jade wall shines dazzlingly in the sun, and the open purple door is really splendid!
"Let's go inside!"
Gluttony walked straight inside the gate.
The gatekeeper was an old white sheep beast, and as soon as he saw the gluttony coming, he immediately greeted him and shouted loudly, "Zijin Gong, you are back." ”
Li Qi felt a little weird, right in front of him, can you be so loud? Is this the gatekeeper etiquette of the royal city?
Gluttony glanced at the white sheep beast, and then said inside: "Don't hide it, I don't know what virtues you have." ”
What do you mean? Li Qi glanced at Han Ying, only to see that Han Ying was expressionless, and he had no tacit understanding with him at all, as if he had been out of the situation all the time, and said in his heart, she was really a qualified bodyguard!
I followed the gluttony and walked inside, and as soon as I entered the door, I smelled a familiar question.
It's the taste of the cooking room.
Li Qi thought to himself, impossible, no matter how you design, you shouldn't smell the kitchen when you enter the door.
After passing through a corridor, you will come to a very spacious hall... No, not the hall, it's... It's the kitchen.
Li Qi was suddenly a little confused, in fact, with a gluttonous character, it is normal to bring him directly to the kitchen, the problem is that in terms of this pattern, this should be the hall, and this kitchen looks really magnificent, with coral hollow windows, crystal jade for lights, pearls for curtains, and a huge bead hanging on the top, but there is a kitchen table and stove inside, and there is a very large dining table in front of it.
It seems out of place.
Not only that, but there are also dozens of "second senior brothers" standing inside.
Pig beasts are rare in cattle humps, and Li Qi has never seen them.
I saw that these pig beasts had a pair of big ears, a bulging belly, a long nose, fat cheeks, and a hint of ruddy, which looked very cute.
"Zijin Gong!"
At this time, they were hanging their heads, their mouths pursed, their big ears covering their cheeks, and they looked at the gluttony pitifully.
Gluttony pinched his forehead and said, "One day, I will eat you all!" ”
"Zijin Gong, we were wrong!"
But when he saw Senior Brother 352, he suddenly burst into tears.
The gluttonous eyes glared, and they immediately stopped crying, their little eyes flashed with tears, what a pity I see!
The gluttony let out another long sigh, then pointed at Li Qi and said to them: "From today on, all matters here are in charge of Li Qi. ”
"Yes!"
These second senior brothers said in unison.
If you talk about the ordinary royal family, you may be surprised, after all, Li Qi is a human being, but they do not hesitate, and they all look well-behaved.
"Richie, they're the cooks who specialize in cooking for the King of the Earth." Gluttony pointed to those second senior brothers.
Li Qi was stunned and said, "That... So why are they here? ”
Gluttony said: "Because I am in charge of this matter, they will take turns to go to the king's palace to cook for the king of the earth." ”
Dare to be in love for a long time, you are a royal food manager! Depend on! I thought you had a thousand horses. Li Qi nodded and said, "I see." ”
Tao Tao suddenly smiled slightly and said, "Li Qi, do you have any prepared dishes?" ”
Li Qi said: "I already have some ideas, but they haven't perfected it yet, after all, I don't know much about the ingredients in the royal city." ”
"It's okay! It's okay! ”
Gluttony waved his hand again and again, and said, "What ingredients do you want, just tell them, they will help you find them, you can practice here, and I will help you taste them here every day." ”
If I want to cook a dish of this scale every day, I won't be tired to death, and with my cooking skills, I don't need to practice, just think about it. Li Qi smiled: "Zijin Gong, I think if you taste it now, the taste of the dish will definitely be insufficient, but at the same time, it will make you lose your sense of surprise, but it will be counterproductive, I don't think it is bad these days." ”
Tao Tao thought about it, felt that there was some truth, and said, "Okay! I can wait, but the banquet of the century is the banquet of the century, and the agreement between us is the agreement between us, don't say it, you didn't think about the dishes for me. ”
When it comes to eating, how can he be so clear! Li Qi was depressed when he heard this, this time he really didn't think about it, he was here to prepare for the banquet of the century, but this person was under the eaves, he had to bow his head, the gluttony would not eat him, but the problem was here, if the gluttony wanted to tease him, wouldn't it be casual, he didn't even know the rules here, he didn't dare to say it again, and hurriedly responded: "Of course, of course." ”
Gluttony looked forward to it: "Then I don't know what dishes you have prepared for me?" ”
Li Qi had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and said with a smile: "There are many cattle and sheep in the cow hump, but there are not many fish, I thought that there must be a lot of fish in Wangcheng, so all the dishes I prepared for Zijin Gong this time are fish-related." ”
When he flew here, he found that the river channel of the royal city was very developed.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! ”
Tao Tao was very happy to hear this, and suddenly said to a second senior brother: "Pengpeng." ”
I saw that the second senior brother immediately came out, and said with a very obedient smile: "What does Zijin Gong command?" ”
Gluttony said to Li Qi: "What fish do you want, just tell Pengpeng." ”
Li Qi sneered, "I don't know what fish ....... Wangcheng. ”
Before he finished speaking, Second Senior Brother Peng Peng said, "Don't worry, I know what to do." ”
After that, he hurriedly walked out with more than ten second senior brothers.
I didn't say anything! Li Qi looked at the gluttony in confusion.
Tao Tao smiled slightly: "He will find you every kind of fish, you can choose it yourself later." ”
Wow! What a luxury! Li Qi nodded.
Gluttony said: "You take a rest here first, I have something to deal with, and I'll come over later." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw two second senior brothers walking over with a cage of chicken legs, looking at the gluttony with a smirk.
Gluttony smiled helplessly, picked up a big chicken leg and threw it into the wide mouth, turned around and walked out.
The two second senior brothers followed, and when they went out, they turned around and secretly made eye contact with the rest of the second senior brothers, very proudly arrogant.
Li Qi secretly wiped a cold sweat, these imperial chefs are really weird.
As soon as the gluttony left, a second senior brother who stopped said, "Go on, go on, let's continue." ”
Li Qi came back to his senses and saw eight second senior brothers sitting at a long table, one of the second senior brothers took away the wooden basin on the long table, it turned out that there were a lot of crystal pieces under it, and they took out a stack of crystal pieces from their pockets one after another.
Li Qi stepped forward and glanced at it, but when he saw that the crystal piece was carved with various patterns, he couldn't help asking, "What are you guys playing?" ”
One of the second senior brothers replied, "Six clans. ”
"Six Clans?"
"yes!"
Li Qi glanced at it for a while, it was actually a card game, but it was painted with the six perfect races, and there were pots of food and wine around them, they were eating and playing at the same time, it was really the most chic chef Li Qi had ever seen, and he said curiously: "As soon as Zijin Gong left, you guys started playing again, aren't you afraid that Zijin Gong will blame?" ”
"Zijin Gong is reluctant to blame us." A second senior brother has a big round belly and said with a smile.
"Why?"
Richie asked, "Do you think you're very good at cooking?" ”
"That's not all, in fact, Zijin Gong likes to chat with us very much, because we are all interested in eating, and we know Zijin Gong's habits very well."
Isn't it just a sycophant? Really. Why are the second senior brothers so virtuous? Li Qi muttered to himself, raised his eyes again, and said, "Strange! I don't think this place looks like a hall, not like a cooking room. ”
"This is the hall."
A second senior brother who was watching from the sidelines said.
Li Qi was surprised: "This is the hall? ”
"That's right!"
The second senior brother said: "Zijin Gong thinks that this hall is so big, and the decoration is very good, the key is the closest to the gate, and it would be too wasteful to use it as a hall, so he changed this place into a cooking room, and then changed the cooking room into a hall, but Zijin Gong rarely goes to the hall and usually stays here." ”
This... That's so capricious! Li Qi was stunned for a moment and said, "Is this okay?" ”
"Of course other royal families can't do it, but this is the Purple Gold Cave Mansion, if anyone thinks the hall is small, they can not come!"
"That's it! It is! ”
"You're going to the hall, you'll have to go through the side door."
The two second senior brothers are in line with the Tao.
It is really in vain to be capricious to this point! Li Qi nodded and said, "Makes sense." "I thought in my heart, it seems that this mansion may not have been built by Zijin Gong, otherwise, before it was built, Zijin Gong should have designed it in advance.
An older second senior brother said, "Xiaojie, you take Li Qi around and familiarize yourself with here, let's finish this game quickly, and we will have to work later." ”
"Okay!"
Xiaojie said again: "Next time, it's my turn to play." ”
"Know! Know! ”
"Richie! I'll show you around, get familiar with it first. ”
"Thank you!"
These second senior brothers seem to be quite easy-going, and they speak very casually, and they don't feel any racial discrimination at all.
Xiao Jie took Li Qi around, this cooking room is really not ordinarily big, it is bigger than the main hall of the Song Dynasty, and it is not easy to go around with the medieval churches in Europe.
Not only that, but the kitchenware here is simply the perfect kitchenware in every chef's heart, all made of purple lazuli, and if you want to steal the kitchen knife out, you will be sent.
Li Qi looked at it and generally asked, "This cooking room is huge, how much does Zijin Gong have to eat in a day?" ”
Xiao Jie said: "That's not a lot, anyway, there are always all kinds of food here, at least enough for Zijin Gong to eat, we will make it after eating, and then wait for Zijin Gong to eat." ”
Is this feeding pigs? Richie nodded.
finally turned around, and Li Qi was a little gasping.
Suddenly, I heard a shout outside: "The fish is coming!" The fish are coming! ”
Xiao Jie said: "Let's go out and have a look." ”
"Oh."
When he came to the gate, Li Qi was immediately stupid again, only to see a giant white rhinoceros pulling huge crystal jars, a long row, and there were all kinds of lively fish in the tank.
That's an exaggeration, isn't it? Li Qi looked up and felt that he had come to the underwater world.
