Chapter 166: Soda and Hot Pot
Regardless of whether the tanuki beast and the beast discriminate against humans in their hearts, they are all working very seriously, and there is no difference between working for the royal family, because they know that this is their racial signboard, this cannot be destroyed, or they don't take this job, and if they do, they have to work seriously.
And they have the talent to support them, they work very efficiently, and factories are rising from the ground.
However, the reason why they took on this job in the first place was mainly for the sake of human cooking, otherwise, they would not have agreed to it right away. Of course, things have changed a bit nowadays, and human potential has become the main reason for them to take this trade, but that doesn't mean they are willing to give up.
Li Qi also knew this, and although Li Qi rarely came here, he had already taught his apprentices some dishes in advance, which were specially used to entertain the beasts and tanuki.
These dishes are not even eaten in Wang Cheng.
Therefore, every time the meal arrives, the tanuki beast and the beast will come to the cafeteria excitedly.
They built the canteen in the first few days, and it was also a big wooden shed, but it was much better than the canteen in the wild lake, not long tables and benches, but large round tables and rattan sofas, not only the canteen, but they also built their own dormitory, and did not live in the cave that Li Qi had prepared for them.
In terms of food and housing, they are very particular, eating is a pure hobby, and live, because they are geniuses in this area, if they themselves live very cold, then how to make customers believe them, although human beings are not as good as them now, but the taste is absolutely excellent, whether it is steamed buns, or pickles, now human beings in the impression of a very race, is to cook.
At noon on this day, as soon as the meal arrived, Xiao Wu and Shenli rushed to the cafeteria with great expectations, and they were still talking about whether they would change the dishes today.
"Huh? Why is this pot all out there? Is it drying the pot? ”
Shenli saw that there were more than a dozen large iron pots in the open space next to the canteen, and he couldn't help but be very surprised.
The rest of the beasts and tanuki beasts were also very surprised.
It just so happened that Xiao Yi took some people with some straw mats and placed them around the cauldron.
Shenli hurriedly said: "Little one! Primary One! ”
"Brother Shenli, you're here!"
Xiao Yi greeted him with a smile, he was very lucky, here, human beings and beasts, raccoon beasts are all communicating in the royal language, during this period, Xiaoyi's royal language has progressed very fast, in the Huaxia Alliance, human beings who are proficient in the royal language, the future is unlimited.
Shenli asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
Xiao Yi hurriedly said: "That's the case, you big brothers have to sit out to eat today, aren't we preparing cushions for your big brothers." ”
"Eating out? Why is that? ”
Shinri was surprised.
Xiao Yi smiled and said, "It's because today's dishes are not good to eat in the canteen, so the big chief decided to put them outside." ”
"Great Chief?"
Xiao Wu preemptively asked, "Where is Li Qilai?" ”
Xiao Yi: "Yes, today's dish was prepared by our big chief himself. ”
Xiao Wu asked, "Then your big chief is here now?" ”
"Yes."
"Good, good!" Shenli only rubbed his hands excitedly and glanced at the cauldrons, "As soon as this Li Qi made a move, it was different, usually we take a bowl to eat, but when he comes, we will eat directly from the pot." Ha ha! ”
As soon as they heard that Li Qi was in charge of the surgery, they were all very excited, and went to TM's cafeteria, but when they were about to sit around the pot, Xiao Yi suddenly said: "Brothers, there are two kinds of dishes today, one is spicy and the other is umami, our big chief hopes that you can sit according to your taste." ”
"Awesome!" Shenli said with a look of admiration: "Li Qi is Li Qi, what a special thing!" ”
Now in the eyes of other races, Li Qi is the god of cooking, and in terms of cooking skills, a fart is fragrant.
Richie must be right.
They immediately divided the spicy ones into the spicy ones, and the fresh ones and the fresh ones.
After they sat down, they saw Xiao Yi and them walking out with pots one by one, and there was a burst of fragrance in the pots.
They shook their noses desperately, and looked into the basin, and saw that some of them had red pots in their hands, and some of them were milky white.
"Is this soup?"
"Yes."
"That's what today's dish?"
"It's not."
"What does that mean?"
"This is our Great Chief's latest dish, called hot pot, we will present today's dish later, pour it into the pot, and eat it when it is cooked!"
"Hot pot?"
"Let's cook and eat ourselves? Isn't it Richie? ”
"Well, our big chief will come out later to teach you how to eat this hot pot."
After arriving at the soup, Xiao Yi and the others immediately lit a fire.
After a while, I saw Xiao Yi and them walking out with some clay pots, only to see that the pots were full of meat, vegetables, tofu, and so on.
But all raw.
Their appetite is very large, and the bowl cannot satisfy them.
After the dishes were served, Li Qi came out of the kitchen, and behind him, Xiao Yi and the others were still carrying large wooden cabinets.
"Richie!"
"The Great Chief of the Race!"
.....
When the beast and the raccoon beast saw Li Qi, they all waved excitedly.
Li Qi arched his hand and smiled: "Thank you for your hard work!" ”
Shenli laughed and said: "It was originally very hard, but when I saw Li Qi, it wasn't hard at all!" ”
What does he mean by this? Li Qi looked at Shenli vigilantly, but said: "I'm really sorry, I invited you all, I was supposed to entertain you well, but there are too many things to spare time, even if I apologize to you." ”
Xiao Wu said: "What you say is serious, and I don't want to be paid, so I help you work for free." ”
A raccoon beast said, "I can't say that, we are here for Li Qi's food." ”
"Haha!"
Everyone burst out laughing.
"I know, I know." Li Qi said: "Therefore, I specially developed this hot pot dish for you, and kept it that you will like, and no one has eaten this hot pot except you." ”
When everyone heard this, they were extremely excited.
Li Qi added: "Not only that, but I also specially prepare a drinking product for this hot pot, which is completely different from wine, but it is by no means worse than wine. ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the beast and the tanuki beast suddenly lit up.
"Really... Really? ”
"Of course it's true."
Li Qi glanced at Xiao Yi, and Xiao Yi and they immediately put down the big wooden cabinet and opened the lid, and everyone was looking forward to it.
Under the cover was a white cloth, and when Xiao Yi uncovered the white cloth, there was an exclamation immediately.
But I saw the cold air coming out of the cupboard, and there were a lot of ice cubes piled up inside, and some black bottles with wooden corks were buried in the ice.
Li Qi picked up a bottle, walked to Xiao Wu's table, took a small tool, pulled out the cork, and poured it into Xiao Wu's cup, but saw a cyan water column poured into the cup.
I only heard a sizzling sound, and small bubbles kept popping up.
Xiao Wu was already stupid and asked, "What is this?" ”
Li Qi smiled: "I named this drinking product soda. ”
With that, he put down the bottle and said, "Taste it." ”
Xiao Wu excitedly picked up the cup, tasted a small bite, first of all, the cold, it made him cool to the root, but he had just finished living, and felt a fruity aroma spread in the mouth, sweet and sour, endless aftertaste, and immediately poured a big mouthful into it, and burped suddenly, only to feel extremely happy, shouted: "Cool!" This soda is so refreshing! ”
Soda had been developed a few days ago, but the taste was not yet perfect at the time, and these soda can be said to be the first batch of soda to meet the sales standard, and the taste is somewhat similar to bayberry soup, sweet and sour, very thirst-quenching.
Shenli hurriedly stepped forward with the cup, "Give me a cup, I want to drink it too!" ”
Li Qi raised his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be busy drinking it first, this soda will feel more refreshing when you eat it with hot pot, after all, this soda has just been developed, and there are not many of them." ”
Even so, Xiao Wu hurriedly drank the cup, it was hard to stop!
They came up at once, and each of them gave them a large bottle of soda, they didn't need tools, their fingers were the best tools, they were all toothed.
At the same time, Li Qi sat on the side of Xiao Wu and personally demonstrated to them how to eat hot pot, which was simple.
"I like to eat cow balls!"
Stretch and scoop up a large spoonful of beef balls and put them in the pot.
Soon, the first wave of food in the pot was cooked, and everyone ate it immediately.
This broth is made of beef bones, it is quite delicious, and these meats are just slaughtered, so fresh, it is difficult to taste in later generations, they are happy to eat, feel the soup, feel spicy, immediately pour a sip of soda, every eater's face has a word written on --- cool!
And this "cool" is the true meaning of hot pot and soda.
For example, the Buddha jumps over the wall, boiling water cabbage, these famous dishes, all need to be tasted carefully, and the hot pot is about a pleasant, in fact, it can't be said which dish is more advanced, because the two dishes pursue different feelings, some people can eat hot pot every day, but if you let him eat Buddha jumping over the wall every day, he will definitely not be able to do it.
Tanuki and Beaconian must have preferred to eat hot pot.
"Richie, you're right, this soda is really no worse than wine, it's so delicious!" Shenli shouted excitedly to Richie.
This meal alone is worth the trip, and there is no such delicacy in the kingdom!
Another beast said to Xiao Wu: "Xiao Wu, you discuss with Li Qi to see if you can bring some soda back, and it's okay to drink less." ”
This sentence speaks to their hearts.
Xiao Wu also had this intention, he looked at Li Qi.
Li Qi smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't want to, but this soda is different from wine, the longer the wine is left, the better it tastes, but the soda can't be left for too long, you drink it now, it's just baked, if you let you transport it back, this soda will taste bad." ”
Xiao Wu frowned and said, "In this way, you won't sell this soda to the cow hump?" ”
Li Qi nodded and said, "It's impossible for the time being, I'm also trying to figure out a way to see if I can keep this soda for a longer time." ”
A raccoon beast said, "Li Qi, do you think there is anything else to build?" You just built it together. ”
"Yes! It's not easy to come here, the cost of our coming here is all yours, you have to build it together, and you can save a lot! ”
......
When it comes to eating, they react very quickly! Li Qi's words can also be interpreted as saying that only here can you drink soda, so it is worth staying for more days with this hot pot and soda!
Li Qi said: "It's not that I don't want to build more, it's that I can't get the same pay at the moment." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately looked at Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu is just a trader, he can't call the shots when he adds a single order temporarily, and he also knows that Li Qi owes a lot of money now, which is very complicated, as a trader, of course, he thinks that Li Qi borrowed money with a plan, and it is impossible to say that he will borrow it, which is too unreliable.
Li Qi hurriedly said: "But don't worry, during this period, I will try my best to supply you with enough soda so that you can drink happily." ”
"For your words, I will give you a drink!"
