After tasting the perfect wine, Song Huizong suddenly felt a little regretful, how can there be no food without wine, this is unreasonable, and you must know that this plum wine can also have an appetizing effect. I felt a little hungry again, so I said: "Li Qi, with such fine wine, how can you have no food, hurry up and present the flavor dishes of this restaurant." ”

"This."

Li Qi rubbed his hands, very embarrassed!

This kid is so annoying. Song Huizong didn't understand anything, and hurriedly waved his hand at Liang Shicheng. So, a few bigwigs began to get together again and paid for the meal.

Li Qi nodded, and the bartenders immediately began to serve the food.

After this dish was served, it almost filled the outer circle of the round table, but there was still a vacant seat in the middle, and obviously there was still a dish that had not been served, and the scale of this dish was not small, but even so, the dish that had been presented alone was already shocking. If the dish "dove occupies the magpie's nest" can only be described as "spectacular", then the dishes on the table can only be described as "beautiful".

Before everyone could wake up from these beautiful dishes, the last dish was presented, an oval-shaped porcelain plate, two feet long.

When this dish is placed on the table, I see that there is a "big fish" on the plate, to be precise, it should be composed of various meat slices, the end is cocked, and a few pieces of perilla leaves are dotted with red on the front and green on the reverse side around the "fish body", and there are pieces of meat slices stacked up, like the waves of the sea, and like flowers blooming like delicate white lotus, making people feel as if they are in a beautiful flower bed, the color and shape are picturesque, dreamlike, beautiful. What's more, it is so lifelike, highlighting the "raw" characteristics of the sashimi, making people feel as if the fish is still swimming in the water.

It's so beautiful, so beautiful that people don't want to use chopsticks to spoil this beautiful scenery. This is like using scissors to cut Zhang Zeduan's Qingming Riverside map, and he will be punished by God.

The characteristics of Japanese cuisine can be summed up in one sentence: you can taste it with your eyes.

Chinese cuisine pays attention to both color and flavor, but Japanese cuisine does not pay attention to olfactory enjoyment, it pays more attention to visual enjoyment, whether it is delicious or not is secondary, but it must be good-looking, not good-looking, even if it is delicious. It's also a floating cloud, to put it simply, you can lose it, but you must get out of it.

The strong visual impact made Song Huizong and others already intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves. After a long while, he reacted, shook his head and exclaimed, "Beautiful! So beautiful! ”

Li Qi smiled: "This 'fish' is composed of three kinds of fish: flatmouth fish (flounder), carp, crucian carp, crab meat, venison, and chicken. It is also specially prepared for you, the emperor. As he spoke, he pointed to the small bowl in front of each of them and said, "This sashimi is even more delicious when it is paired with the wasabi paste that Mr. Tengyoshi brought from Japan." ”

"Wasabi mud?"

Song Huizong looked at the small bowl on the side curiously, but saw that the soy sauce soup was a little green.

Li Qi explained: "This wasabi mud is somewhat similar to the mustard of my Great Song Dynasty. But for a little more spicy, it is perfect with this sashimi. ”

This wasabi mud is also the raw material that was called wasami in Japan in later generations, and it is the most commonly used seasoning in Japanese cuisine, and it belongs to yellow wasabi in China. Not a plant, but nowadays wasabi is still widely used in Japan with Chinese herbal medicine, and there is no application in terms of diet. However. During the New Year's Festival last year, Li Qi had already commissioned Tengji Miki to get some wasabi seeds from Japan, preparing to introduce this plant, and then make wasabi to make money from the Japanese.

At this point, Song Huizong and the others didn't say much, they ate first and then said, and they began to do it, because Li Qi had taught them how to eat sashimi, so all the movements were very neat.

Song Huizong used chopsticks to clip a piece of sashimi, and when he saw that the fish fillet was thin into the paper, showing a translucent state, he exclaimed: "Li Qi, your knife work has really been perfected!" ”

Li Qi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is not done by Wei Chen, but by the chef of Jinlou, Master Guda." "At this banquet, in order to save money, Li Qi summoned a lot of chefs from the restaurant, they wanted fame, he wanted profit, and they hit it off! However, due to the relationship between Drunken Xianju and Jin Lou, he originally didn't plan to look for Zhang Chun'er, but Zhang Chun'er himself came to the door, Li Qi was not afraid of her, and agreed with a nod, of course, because of the relationship between Jin Guo, Gu Da was still focused on here, if he dared to do anything, he would definitely be in a different place the next moment.

Cai Jing said: "Master Gu's knife work can also be described as ingenious, the original crab topaz fan, still fresh in people's memory!" ”

Li Bangyan said curiously: "Li Qi, who is better than you and Master Gu's knife work!" ”

His question aroused the interest of Song Huizong and others, and they all looked at Li Qi with interest.

Li Qi said: "In terms of knife work alone, I'm afraid Master Gu is still better." ”

He is not modest, after all, when he first learned cooking, knife work was only a compulsory course, and he also trained his knife skills when he usually cooked. But Guda is different, he is obsessed with knife work, and he has been studying in this area, and his works, Li Qi has also seen a lot, many of which are rare and excellent.

Cai Jing shook his head and said: "Li Qi, don't be modest, although Guda's knife work is exquisite, his dishes are delicate, and your dishes are magnificent, the layout is perfect, gorgeous and noble, which is better or worse, it really depends on the person." ”

He was not wrong, after all, Li Qi had a more scientific method in later generations, so compared to it, it was really between the best, but in the end, it was estimated that Li Qi would still win with his heart. And the reason why Li Qi said this is that he is referring to pure knife work.

Li Qi didn't argue, and said with a smile: "The master is falsely praised, falsely praised." ”

Song Huizong laughed, and didn't say more, put a piece of sashimi on an empty plate, and then took an appropriate amount of wasabi puree and put it on the fish fillet, then folded the fish fillet, covered the wasabi puree, dipped it in soy sauce, and put it in his mouth.

When he first started chewing, a smell that was more pungent than yellow mustard made Song Huizong's brows tighten. Li Qi was also nervous, and he was afraid that Song Huizong would vomit out.

Fortunately, what he was worried about did not happen, as he continued to chew, the more the fish was chewed, the more rotten it became, and the more it was chewed, Song Huizong's brows began to stretch, and he felt that his mouth was full of relish, and at this time, the wasabi mud turned into a compound taste. It's spicy and fragrant. The combination of fragrant, sweet, sandy, salty and spicy is amazing. Paired with a sip of sake, the taste is really intriguing, you can only understand it, you can't say it!

Cai Jing, an old man, doesn't have much interest in sashimi, but he loves crab sashimi and picks crab meat to eat, and if Li Qi doesn't stop him, he has to eat all the crab meat on the plate.

Song Huizong and Cai Jing are great gourmets after all, especially Song Huizong. That's the emperor's tongue, he knows how to taste all kinds of flavors of food, but the rest of the people have not reached this realm, to be popular, they are more picky, and some people are not used to eating sashimi.

Gao Yu is one of them, he is not very cold to sashimi, but he has a soft spot for another dish, I saw him put his hand into one of the dishes and said: "Li Qi." What is this dish called? ”

When Li Qi took a look, he saw that it was a golden dish, strip-shaped, somewhat similar to a thickened version of French fries. There is a thin layer of golden sand on the outside, and through this layer of "golden sand", I can faintly see that the inside is green or white, and I said with a smile: "This dish is called tempura." ”

"Tempura? How is this name so strange? Song Huizong said curiously.

Li Qi explained: "This 'day' is set by me according to the customs of Japan, and I said earlier that there is a 'great enemy of oil' in Japan. They are usually very fuel-efficient, and they almost don't put oil in cooking, so as to live a safe life. Therefore, oil is heaven for them, and the word "woman" was originally used as the "bran" of "maifu", which means flour, and the reason why it was changed to a woman's woman is to make the last word "Luo" more vivid, and the word "Luo" is the essence of this dish, representing the Luo skirt, that is, the outer layer of paste, I call it the tempura skirt, just like a woman wearing a Luo skirt. ”

"Tempura skirt?" Song Huizong laughed and said, "This name is really interesting!" ”

Tengyoshi Miki also praised, "It's amazing that the economic envoy can give a name to a dish based on the customs of Japan." ”

This was originally taken by you Japanese, and it has something to do with me, so I can't come up with such a local name. Li Qi said: "Awards, awards." ”

After Li Qi's explanation, Song Huizong and the others immediately turned their attention to this tempura. Song Huizong's bite off more than half of it, only to feel tender and delicious, compared to other fried foods, this tempura is even more fragrant but not greasy. In particular, the outer layer of golden sand, which combines the three elements of fragrant, crispy and crispy, is wonderful, and there are some vegetables in it, some chicken, and the different flavors are fascinating, and after a while, you will be addicted to it, because you can never know what the next one will taste like.

Cai Jing ate a vegetable Tianluo woman, nodded again and again, and asked: "Li Qi, why does the tempura made of green vegetables only have a batter on one side, while the chicken has a batter on all sides, and you have used this method of hanging the batter on many dishes before, but why is the batter of this tempura so thin as a veil?" ”

is worthy of being an old foodie, and he asked the key as soon as he asked. Li Qi explained: "This is to not affect the original taste of vegetables or chicken in the road, if it is thick, then the batter will be noisy, the taste will be heavier, and the point of lightness will be lost, so the most critical technique of tempura is to hang the batter, the chicken and fish taste is relatively heavy, so it can be hung whole, but it must be thin, and the taste of vegetables is relatively light, so it can only be hung half, for this reason, I also specially selected olive oil with a lighter taste." ”

This is a simple statement, but the difficulty of hanging the batter like a thin gauze can be imagined.

Song Huizong couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This dish is really delicate!" ”

Fujiyoshi Miki picked up a colorful and cute sushi, put it in his mouth, and said vaguely, "I still like this cold rice ball the most." ”

Song Huizong looked at the fragrant food he ate, and couldn't help but miss the taste of this sushi very much, and said with a smile: "It seems that I haven't eaten this cold rice ball for a long time." As he spoke, he picked one up and put it in his mouth, only to feel that the aroma of rice and sashimi filled the gap between his teeth and cheeks, leaving no gaps, and the strong aroma had nowhere to escape, lingering in his mouth for a long time, making people have an endless aftertaste.

Perhaps it was because they had eaten too many greasy dishes before, so the lightness of Japanese food was even more prominent at this time, and everyone was getting carried away from eating.

After three rounds of wine, Song Huizong's face was slightly red, which showed that the stamina of sake had come up, and he was feverish, and it was really indescribably comfortable and comfortable on this cold winter day. He said: "Li Qi said that this wine is divided into men and women, and I can also be a woman in this variety of flavors!" ”

When Li Qi heard a dignified emperor say such a thing, he thought to himself, it seems that it is almost over, and he can move on to the next link.

Li Bangyan was always so interested in this kind of topic, and said, "Your Majesty, how do you say this?" ”

Song Huizong said with a smile: "Goryeo-style food is like a simple village woman, industrious and willing to make fun in suffering; Mediterranean-style cuisine is like everyone's best. Quiet and elegant, temperament from the inside; And the food flavor of the big food, that is, a graceful beauty, passionate, charming, itchy; As for this Japanese-style food, the appearance is beautiful, and the layout is exquisite and delicate, just like the Gongbi paintings of my Great Song Dynasty. Meticulous and dense, but they are all cold, never seductive with fragrance, like a young woman who is gentle like water and light makeup. Lovely! ”

Cai Jing, a bosom friend, immediately applauded: "The emperor is really a pearl of words, just a few words, he can say all the delicious food he tasted today." ”

Liang Shicheng was not far behind, and patted the horse and said: "The old body is just a rough person. I don't know what food is, but when the emperor said this, it seems that all the delicious food has returned. ”

He is worthy of being a great artist. That's really a level. Li Qi couldn't help but applaud.

Song Huizong laughed proudly.

Fujiyoshi Miki suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, then I don't know what kind of beauty your country's cuisine is?" ”

Song Huizong raised his five fingers and said domineeringly: "The first beauty in the world." ”

When it comes to food, Cai You can't interject, but when it comes to beauties, he immediately jumped up and said with a lewd smile: "What the emperor said is very true, if you want to talk about beauties, I would like to ask which country dares to compare with my Great Song Dynasty." ”

Fujiyoshi Miki felt uncomfortable when he heard it, but the fact is that their Japanese women are simply not in the same dimension compared to the women of the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise they would not always think about running to the Great Song Dynasty to borrow seeds and improve the breed, and secretly complained about why they asked this sentence so much. Then he changed the topic and said: "Economic envoy, why is there no food of your country on this street?" ”

Song Huizong raised his eyebrows and said, "No?" ”

Fujiyoshi Miki shook his head and said, "I walked the whole street below, but I didn't see it." ”

Li Qi smiled: "Before I answer this question, let me ask you a question first, which food here does not belong to my Da Song flavor?" ”

Only then did everyone remember what Li Qi said at the beginning, which was a collection of thousands of essences.

Song Huizong said, "Mr. Tengji, is your Japanese food really so delicious?" ”

This is a really hurtful truth. Fujiyoshi Miki shook his head awkwardly, saying that it was really a lie to himself, in fact, Li Qi said earlier that this is a Japanese-style food, which can be regarded as giving them enough face.

Li Qi is actually a little embarrassed in his heart, after all, these delicacies are not created by him, and they are indeed the crystallization of their Japanese wisdom, but Li Qi doesn't care about this little honor, because in his mind, Chinese food has always been the best in the world, but it is often shoddy for those bullish profiteers, and the so-called "hard-working" supervision of the relevant departments day and night has caused the saying that Chinese food has become poison. Every time he thought of this, he felt bad in his heart, so he said: "Actually, I have thousands of Da Song delicacies, and I don't know which one to choose as a representative, so I just don't do it, if you want to eat our Da Song delicacies, there are seventy-two main stores outside for you to taste, of course, I still recommend you to go to a restaurant called Zui Xianju." ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

A few people were talking about food for a while, and the stamina of sake was completely up, and everyone was slightly drunk but sober, and they left the shop with a slight shake.

As soon as he came to the street, Song Huizong saw that the number of people in front of the store in front of him had not decreased, and he was very curious, so he quickened his pace and walked towards the store.

This time Li Qi didn't stop him anymore, on the contrary, there was a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.

When those ministers saw that Song Huizong was coming, they hurriedly got out of the way. Song Huizong stepped forward to take a look, but saw a small shed in front of the store, and there was a long table in the shed, and there were several jars and jars on the table, but he couldn't see what was inside, and there was a couplet on both sides of the door, and there was a sign hanging on the door. "I was puzzled. His eyes swept to the side casually, and when he saw that Huang Xinren was also there, he said curiously: "Huang Aiqing, what are you doing standing here?" ”

Huang Xinren pointed to the door with his hand and said, "Your Majesty, have you seen those altars and jars?" ”

Song Huizong saw that his god was mysterious, and he was immediately infected by it, and nodded lightly.

Huang Xinren said: "The bartender said earlier, if anyone can taste these delicacies one by one, they will give a unique badge engraved with 'Delicious Warrior'." Badge holders will be able to use it at any store on the street and will receive a halving price for a permanent basis. ”

Song Huizong was interested, and said, "There are such good things, so why don't you go up and taste them." ”

"This."

Huang Xinren wanted to speak and stopped.

Song Huizong was puzzled: "Is there any limit?" ”

"Not really, because the food in this jar is so scary." Huang Xinren said with palpitations.

"Scary? Can good food be scary? Song Huizong was surprised.

Huang Xinren nodded and said, "Jiang Yushi wanted to go up and try it, but when he opened the first jar and saw the contents inside. He immediately retreated, his face turning green with fright. ”

"And such strange things?" Song Huizong was shocked and hurriedly asked, "What's in there?" ”

"Locusts."

"Locusts?"

Song Huizong was stunned for a moment, and then said in shock: "What? Locust? ”

Huang Xinren nodded and said, "It's the locust." Since no one dared to try, Weichen didn't know what was in the rest of the jars, but he didn't think it was a good kind. ”

Although Weiweixuan has already made similar dishes, it has not become famous. Everyone here is a member of the court, and whoever has nothing to do will run to eat insects.

Song Huizong's gaze turned sharply to Li Qi and asked, "Li Qi." What's going on here? ”

Li Qi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, these newly developed dishes by Wechen will appear on the market in a short time, and Wechen wants to take the opportunity to let you try them first." ”

Cai You shouted: "How can such ugly and dirty things be eaten. ”

Li Qi smiled: "Does the British public think that pigs, cows, crabs and other things are graceful and handsome?" ”

Cai Youden was speechless.

The rest of the people snickered one after another, although Li Qi's words were a little sarcastic, but they were not unreasonable, on dirty, ugly, pigs, crabs are not the same, since pigs are eaten, why can't this insect be eaten?

But having said that, they felt disgusting.

This is a contradiction.

Li Qi suddenly stepped forward, raised his hands high, and signaled to be quiet, and the rest of the people immediately fell silent when they saw that he had something to say. Li Qicai said: "Everyone, these dishes are made by my own hands in Xia, and I have also tasted them in Xia, and I guarantee that they will not do any harm to people, so I dare to bring them here." ”

With that, he withdrew.

Is this the end of it? Everyone was immediately stupid.

Song Huizong said blankly: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Li Qi said: "Weichen just wants to tell everyone that these dishes are harmless!" ”

"But are these for human food?"

Li Qi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you can not worry about these foods, but you are not at ease with Weichen's cooking skills, since I dare to boast about this, I naturally have great confidence, and I also believe that I am impossible for the Great Song Dynasty to have no warriors who dare to try." ”

When the ministers heard this, they were ashamed, and even if they knew that this insect was harmless, they would not dare to taste it.

Huang Xinren said disdainfully: "Is eating insects considered a warrior?" ”

Li Qi said: "Lord Huang's words are wrong, the key is not to eat insects, but to talk about guts, there are many people in the world who are ashamed to call themselves heroes and heroes, but they can't find a few who dare to eat insects." ”

Song Huizong frowned and said, "I seem to have heard this somewhere." ”

Li Qi said: "The emperor is really powerful, I can hear it as soon as I hear it, Weichen is just paraphrasing a sentence from Hong Qigong's predecessors." ”

Song Huizong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Yes, yes, I remembered, when Hong Qigong asked Yang Guo to eat centipedes, he said such a sentence, I can't hide it, when I saw this time, I also wanted to try whether this centipede was really that delicious, but. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't talk anymore, he wanted to think about it, but if he really wanted to eat, he was still a little jealous.

At this time, one of them suddenly laughed and said: "I have been waiting here for a long time, since no one in your country dares to eat, then let me try it." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a person walking out of the crowd, it was Iga Baichuan.

Most of the officials here are Great Song Dynasty officials, and Iga Baichuan heard this extremely harshly, and his face showed a slight gloom.

The bartender behind the table asked, "Does this guest officer want to try it?" ”

Iga Baichuan smiled and said: "Of course, our Japanese samurai have always been fearless, not to mention that this is just a few small insects, but this delicious warrior badge is exempt, I don't have the face to deserve this title, at most it is just a little bold." ”

It's even worse now, don't you mean that I'm all cowards.

Song Huizong was furious when he heard this, and secretly thought, I have many heroes in the Song Dynasty, how can I let one of you be compared to a widow today, it is really unreasonable. With a raised hand, he said, "Wait." As he spoke, he stepped forward and said, "I want to taste it too." ”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd was shocked.

Only Li Qi had a strange face and secretly smiled, it seems that he is on top, the wine is strong and courageous, and he is really incisive!

ps: Nearly 7,000 words of big chapter, there is no more at night. Halfway through this chapter, there was a small episode, that is, Xiaoxi himself was greedy, so he ran to a Japanese restaurant, but after eating, he found that it was to pay, and it was not generally expensive, and the wallet dried up instantly, and what was even more cheating was that the taste was like that, it was really not cost-effective, and he planned to eat half a moon egg fried rice to make his wallet recover his grievances. At this time, the heart is still dripping blood, and you are both foodies, you can't see death without help, hurry up and use monthly tickets and recommendation tickets to remedy the wound under Xiaoxi's heart.
