Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In the past, Cai Jing and Gao Yu were definitely the focus of the audience, no matter where they were, and the rest of the officials rushed to come over to talk to each other, but now, they have become a special kind of people in the capital, and no one wants to deal with him, especially those officials.
This is really embarrassing!
Gao Yu said: "Dare you to love you, this is thinking about our money." ”
Although this gap is very large, Brother Yu is quite open-minded and can survive, and Gao Yanei is also recognized by the emperor as a righteous brother, he is already very self-sufficient.
And Cai Jing is even more so, they are all happy, and there is no fame and fortune that they can't let go, so they don't care about it, but they are happy to be leisurely, able to concentrate on tasting food, and in general, they can taste life and enjoy life.
This realm is a notch higher.
Li Qi said: "Taiwei, now I am really short of money, if you think this moon cake is not bad, I hope you can buy more back." ”
Hong Bajin snorted: "I have also eaten this moon cake for decades, but your moon cake is really ridiculously expensive." ”
Li Qi pulled his face down and said, "Uncle Bajin, look at what you said, this penny, this penny, can you find out what mooncakes are more delicious than my mooncakes." ”
"That's right, your mooncakes are indeed very delicious, and the price is not too much." Cai Jing laughed.
Li Qi said with a look of admiration: "It's still the Taishi's taste is superior, and being able to eat a delicacy that meets your taste is the same as finding a celebrity himself." ”
Cai Jing stroked his beard, smiled, and then whispered: "Although what you said is not wrong, isn't it just a lie." No matter how big your official is, you always need to win the support of some people, otherwise you won't be able to achieve anything, don't you understand this truth? The original ordnance superintendent. You are suffering from this loss, and you must do your best to build up your power! ”
In fact, he wanted to say this for a long time, but his situation was very embarrassing, and he usually stopped at the point, and he thought that Li Qi understood this reason, but today he saw this. I also felt anxious about Li Qi in my heart.
Mrs. Bai also said these words to Li Qi, nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, Taishi's good words, Li Qi remembers." ”
Gao Yu Yuguang saw that some people on the side were casting curious glances at them, so he quickly changed the topic and picked up a moon cake. smiled: "Li Qi, don't say whether your mooncakes are delicious or not, just look at them, they are enough to attract people's attention." ”
But seeing that the moon cakes in his hands were small and exquisite, white as jade, and lovely. As he spoke, he took a small bite and nodded again and again: "It's delicious." Delicious. ”
Cai Jing was greedy, and he hurriedly asked people to cut a small piece for him, because this is all for tasting, so most of them are cutting a small piece for the guests to try, of course, if you have a thick skin, you have to eat a few more pieces, then Li Qi has no choice, but he believes that there are people with very high status here, and they will not do such shameless things.
Cai Jing picked up the small piece and put it in his mouth. I feel that the taste of this moon cake is very special, not salty or greasy, fragrant, the outer skin is very soft, and the filling inside is very full. But he didn't taste what it was made of for a while, because the filling was gray-green puree, so he couldn't see it, and asked curiously: "What are you making of this filling?" ”
Li Qi smiled: "The filling of this moon cake is mainly made of pickled wild vegetables, lard, and sugar. ”
"Pickled wild vegetables?" Cai Jing tasted it again, and said with a little surprise: "I didn't expect it to be made of pickled wild vegetables, no wonder the old man didn't taste it." ”
He rarely eats these wild vegetables, so it's not surprising that he didn't taste them.
Gao Yu said: "Actually, I don't like to eat these pickled vegetables very much, but your moon cakes, not only do not have the special taste of pickles, but also a little salty, a little sweet, but they are all very light and not strong, and they highlight the fragrance of wild vegetables, which is really delicious." ”
Li Qi rubbed his hands and said, "It's over, it's over, since you two like it so much, you can buy some more!" ”
"This mooncake is just made of wild vegetables, but you sell it so expensive, how much do you have to earn!" Hong Bajin took a bite of most of it, complaining with an expression of enjoyment.
The smile on Li Qi's face suddenly stiffened, and he said depressedly: "Uncle Bajin, don't you always dismantle my table, it's just a small business, you are not from a dry restaurant, and the key to this food is delicious, and it is not based on the materials, even if the abalone, if it is not delicious at all, you will not want it if it is sold to you, we Drunken Xianju have always been doing business with sincerity, and we will never deliberately pit guests." ”
Cai Jing said: "Bajin, don't say it, if you say it again, he will shed tears." ”
"Daddy, Daddy."
With a few sweet shouts, I saw Gao Yanei and Hong Tianjiu, the two living treasures, running over with a plate.
"Uncle Cai (Uncle Gao, Uncle Hong)."
The two of them first bowed to a few elders obediently, and Gao Yanei said to Li Qi: "Huh? Richie, when did you come? ”
Hong Tianjiu shook his fist and said excitedly: "Brother Li, your moon cake is really amazing, fortunately I didn't have lunch." ”
Li Qi smiled: "Just came." If it's delicious, you can buy some more, because these mooncakes are not sold every day, they are sold once a year. At this time, no matter how much he hates Gao Yanei, he will definitely show a professional smile, after all, these two are big customers!
Gao Yu said: "Kang'er, what are you holding in your hand?" ”
Gao Yanei said: "Daddy, this is what the child just brought from there, this kind of moon cake is delicious, I specially brought it to Daddy to taste it, oh, this moon cake doesn't cost money, wahaha." ”
Cai Jing looked at the plate, and saw four or five spherical moon cakes on the plate, the surface was full of ripples, and it looked like a ball of thread, with red, yellow, and purple colors, which looked attractive.
This is the Chao-style mooncake that was later known as one of the four major mooncake genres in China.
Dog's day, this is a tasting, you are really not polite, and you took it all. Li Qi felt a burst of angina when he heard this, and he thought that the people in it were all face-loving people. However, he left out these shameless guys, which was really a mistake. Ah, and Zhou Fatzi's guy who wants to eat to death, oops. It's a big loss.
Angry, but you can't say it, otherwise it will be too stingy. Li Qi looked at Gao Yanei, very murderous, and waved his hand at the bartender on the side.
The bartender immediately took the tray and cut it into small portions with a knife. handed it to Cai Jing and the others.
Cai Jing picked up a small piece and put it in his mouth, savored it, only to feel that the mooncake was very soft, and it almost didn't take much effort to bite it, and the pleasant purple taro filling adhered to the tip of the tongue, as if it was massaging with the tongue. I couldn't help nodding and said: "The skin is crispy and the filling is fine, the oil is not fatty, and the sweetness is not greasy, which is more delicious than the moon cakes just now." ”
Gao Yu suddenly said: "Isn't there shrimp meat in this?" ”
Li Qi smiled: "Yes, some of the fillings are made with river fresh. ”
"Shrimp?" When Cai Jing, an old foodie, heard this, his index finger moved, and he hurriedly picked up a piece of moon cake that Gao Yu had just eaten. took a small bite, his eyes lit up, and he said, "The filling made of this shrimp meat is really tender." I don't know if there is a filling made of crab roe? ”
Sweat! Forget jì This old thing is crab roe control. Li Qi nodded and said, "If there are no moon cakes made of crab roe, how can I be embarrassed to invite you to come!" ”
Cai Jing said: "Or do you understand the old man's taste, I don't know which one?" ”
Li Qi said: "Oh, the moon cakes made of crab roe will come out in a while, Taishi, you wait a while." ”
Cai Jing glanced at Li Qi and said, "Isn't there anything unique about this moon cake?" ”
Hong Tianjiu was curious: "Really? Big brother, take it out quickly! ”
Richie just laughed and didn't say anything.
Cai Jing and the others saw it and knew that they would ask again. Richie won't say it either.
At this time, Li Qi suddenly appeared a few familiar figures in the crowd and said, "Master, you are busy eating, I'll go over for a while." ”
Cai Jing glanced back slightly. Seeing Qin Hui and Zheng Yizheng coming over, he nodded and said, "You go." ”
"Lost company."
Li Qi arched his hand, and then walked quickly towards Qin Hui and Zheng Yi.
"Privy Counsellor."
Qin and Zheng saw Li Qilai and hurriedly surrendered their hands.
Li Qi bowed his hand back, pointed at it casually, and said with a smile: "The mooncakes here can match the taste of the two?" ”
Zheng Yi shook his head and sighed: "It's not a secret, every moon cake in this is the best moon cake Zheng Er has ever eaten in his life, and the moon cakes he ate before are really not worth mentioning compared to them." ”
Qin Hui smiled slightly: "In terms of eating, Qin is not as good as the two, but the Golden Knife Chef King must be a high-quality product." ”
Li Qi laughed and said very meritistically: "Those two must buy some more." Saying that, he lowered his voice again and said, "Don't say that I didn't take care of you, I made this moon cake so much, and after selling it out today, I have pre-stored two boxes of each moon cake for the two of you." ”
When Qin Hui heard this, the two boxes were not very many, and he nodded and said, "Thank you to the privy envoy." ”
Zheng Yi seemed a little hesitant, and Li Qi hurriedly said: "Third envoy, there are a lot of them made by Run'er, you won't be out of favor." ”
Zheng Yi was slightly embarrassed and said: "Even if it wasn't for Run'er, I would have held the scene of the privy envoy." ”
At this time, Lu Meimei suddenly walked over and whispered in Li Qi's ear: "Master, the hour is almost up." ”
"You go first, I'll go later." Li Qi nodded, and then said to Qin Hui and Zheng Yi: "Two, today's last supreme moon cake is about to appear, I'll go and prepare it first, you two will definitely come and see it later." ”
Supreme mooncakes? Zheng Yi and Qin Hui glanced at each other and nodded at the same time.
As soon as Li Qi left, Qin Hui asked in a low voice: "Third envoy, I see that you seem to be a little hesitant?" ”
Zheng Yi said: "Qin Shaozai, do you know how many kinds of moon cakes there are here?" ”
Qin Hui shook his head, he was busy scheming all day long, how could he pay attention to this.
Zheng Yi said with a bitter face: "There are at least thirty or more kinds, two boxes of each, not sixty or seventy boxes, and the moon cakes here are very expensive." ”
When Qin Hui heard this, he was immediately stupid, and he had the urge to burst out, which was too pitiful.
