Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Although Li Qi is very confident in his cooking skills, he is not as blindly confident as Ma Qiao. In fact, when it comes to knife work, he can be said to have no advantage over contemporary chefs, and even a slight disadvantage, after all, in the fast-paced society of later generations, no one will spend too much time on this except for competitions, and even if you can afford it, the guests can't afford it. Contemporary chefs pay attention to Jing carving, especially the imperial kitchen, every dish strives for perfection, even if it is a leaf, I remember the last crab roe banquet, Guda's crab topaz fan gave Li Qi a deep understanding of the knife work of contemporary chefs.
However, Li Qi also knows where his advantage is, that is, advanced knowledge, if you want to look at the sixteen states of Yanyun carefully, it is actually not very perfect, but the wonderful scene makes everyone ignore this, and from a distance, the atmosphere is majestic, as if there is no flaw.
Zhao Kai clenched his fists and shouted, "Okay, this name is good." β
"Yes, yes, that's a good name."
Song Huizong also nodded frequently, and suddenly said with a puzzled face: "But why." β
Li Qi interrupted him and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen knows what you want to ask, please let Weichen talk about it later, there is still one step in Weichen's dish, if the emperor has seen enough, Weichen will have to carry out this last step." β
"Enough of it? What do you mean by that? Song Huizong was stunned.
Li Qi smiled: "That's right, after this last step is completed, this ice sculpture will be gone." β
Song Huizong was shocked: "What? You mean you're going to ruin it? β
What does this mean? I won't destroy it, and you can't take it home. Li Qi nodded wryly.
"W- why did you destroy such a beautiful ice sculpture?" Song Huizong was puzzled.
Zhang Zeduan nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, yes, this ice sculpture is of infinite value, I still want to observe it for a while, if I can, I am willing to spend money to buy it." β
The rest of the people also nodded frequently, as if they didn't understand why Li Qi did this.
I want to sell it, but the problem is that you can't take it. Li Qi smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, Scholar Zhang, you don't know that the true meaning of this ice sculpture depends on this last step, if you don't carry out this step, this ice sculpture can't be counted as a finished product." β
"The real meaning?" Song Huizong frowned and looked at Li Qi, and said, "Since that's the case, then you wait first, let me wait and see." β
A few people squatted on the edge of the ice sculpture, looking left and right, and couldn't see why there was such a big difference between close and far looking, thinking to themselves, it seemed that they had to wait for Li Qi to answer for themselves.
After looking at it for a while, Song Huizong reluctantly said, "It's okay, you can do it." β
Li Qi nodded, pointed to the place where they were standing just now, and said, "Please also invite the emperor and all the experts to the lake to watch." β
Although Song Huizong didn't understand why he did this, he still went to the lake according to his words.
Li Qi took out a leather flask from his baggage, opened the lid, the smell of wine was pungent, this wine had just been distilled, the degree was very high, and he couldn't drink it at all. Li Qi slowly poured the wine from a mouth, and the liquor flowed slowly down the trail like clear water.
After a while, when the inside of the road was filled with spirits, Li Qi stood up and said to Ma Qiao: "Light the fire." β
Ma Qiao responded, took out the fire fold to blow it on, put it on the wine, and with a snort, a tongue of fire instantly penetrated the entire "Great Wall" at a lightning speed.
The flames swayed, and the golden light was four shΓ¨ under the anti-shΓ¨ of the ice, and the fusion of fire and ice made the whole ice sculpture shine. Suddenly, Liang Shicheng suddenly pointed at the firelight and shouted: "Great Song, the emperor looks, it's our Great Song." β
Song Huizong also nodded straight, muttering in his mouth: "Great Song, Great Song." β
It turns out that the word "Da Song" is hidden in this ice sculpture, and I don't think it at first glance, but with the help of the flames, the word "Da Song" is highlighted, as if suspended in the air, and what is even more surprising is that the word "Da Song" is still inclined upward.
Only then did everyone understand why Li Qi said that, the ice sculpture just symbolized the sixteen states of Yanyun, and Li Qi floated the word "Great Song" on the sixteen states of Yanyun with the help of flames, which undoubtedly means that the sixteen states of Yanyun belong to the Great Song Dynasty.
The firelight shone on the ice and shè on the faces of Song Huizong and others, everyone's eyes flashed with the same brilliance, although Song Huizong's head often didn't want to do things, and he was full of tricks, but at this time he was also infected by this firelight, remembering that when Taizong came, all the ancestors took the recovery of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures as their own responsibility, and their eyes were a little ruddy.
Li Qi stretched out his hand and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, when the time comes, Weichen will take this opportunity to tell the other three kingdoms that these sixteen states of Yanyun belong to our Great Song Dynasty." β
As he said the last half of his sentence, his voice suddenly increased. The sky has been echoing, "This Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures belong to our Great Song Dynasty".
Song Huizong shouted: "Okay." β
The rest of the people knelt down in unison and shouted "Hurrah".
Song Huizong looked up to the sky and laughed, at this moment, his kingly spirit was undoubtedly revealed. Of course, this was just a flash in the pan.
Sweat! These guys are too into the drama, I'm just talking about it, Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures are still in the hands of others. Li Qi let out a long sigh.
The fire didn't last long, it was extinguished after a while, and the ice sculpture was already unrecognizable, but its value was already imprinted in everyone's hearts. Song Huizong suppressed his smile and beckoned to Li Qi: "Li Aiqing, come over quickly." β
Aiqing? I'll it. It's called real flesh and hemp. Rich immediately got goosebumps and returned to the lake with Ma Qiao.
Song Huizong patted Li Qi's shoulder, sighed a few times, and said: "Li Qi, I really don't know how to praise you, although your dish is tasteless, it is the most delicious dish I have ever eaten in my life, Aiqing is really sent by God to help me." β
cΔoοΌ This sycophant is really amazing, I was really sent by God, but whether I came to help you or not, this is still up for debate. Li Qi arched his hand and said: "Thanks to the emperor's praise, Weichen is really ashamed." β
"Hey, what do you need to be humble at this time, I said that if you deserve it, you should be." Song Huizong said domineeringly.
Li Qi smiled, and did not give in. On the side, Zhao Kai suddenly said: "Li Qi, please accept Zhao Kai's worship." β
riγ This guy is crazy, don't worship in front of the emperor if you want to worship, you obviously want to trap me. Li Qi was stunned for a moment, quickly helped him up, and said, "Your Highness, what are you doing here, I can't stand it." β
Zhao Kai shook his head and said: "The meaning of your dish really embarrassed Zhao Kai, and it also woke up Zhao Kai, who was intoxicated with comfort, Zhao Kai was really grateful." β
"Kai'er said well, my father also feels high for you."
Song Huizong patted Zhao Kai's shoulder approvingly, and said to Li Qi: "Li Qi, I didn't expect you to have such lofty ambitions, yes, yes, I didn't see the wrong person." β
Gao Yu stood up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't talk about Li Qi's ambitions, with his means, I don't think anyone in the world can match it." β
Song Huizong laughed and said: "Aiqing is right, your dish is really an eye-opener for me." β
Zuo Boqing suddenly said: "Congratulations to the emperor, this time the Four Kingdoms Banquet, our Great Song Dynasty is undoubtedly victorious." β
Song Huizong sighed and hurriedly said, "Boqing, how do you say this?" β
Zuo Boqing said: "Your Majesty, in the previous Four Kingdoms Banquets, our imperial chefs of the Great Song Dynasty have been far ahead of other countries in soup-making, and have never missed, and the soup-making skills of the official Yan envoy are the best of our entire Great Song Dynasty, in my opinion, this dish is undoubtedly victorious, plus this Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, the imperial chefs of the other three countries are even more out of reach, three dishes, we have won two, this third dish is not on the top, we have won, but I believe that the official Yan will be able to win three games in a row." β
Everyone saluted in unison and said, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor." β
Song Huizong laughed and said: "Everyone loves to be happy and happy. β
Zhang Zeduan suddenly arched his hand towards Li Qi and said, "Master." β
As soon as Li Qi heard these two words, he felt as if he was going to lose his life, and patted his head and said: "Scholar Zhang, I beg you, don't call me master anymore, okay, I'll call you master It's almost the same." β
"Don't dare, don't dare."
Zhang Zeduan shook his head and said, "Teacher-Guan Yan Envoy, may I ask why the ice sculpture is flat up close, but convex from a distance?" And what's going on with that fire word? Why is it still tilting upwards? β
Song Huizong hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I also want to know why this is?" Don't sell it, just say it. β
"Yes."
Li Qi smiled slightly and said, "Actually, Weichen is just taking advantage of the distance between people's eyes. β
"The distance between the eyes?"
Everyone looked at each other, and their faces were blank.
"Not bad. There is a certain distance between the two eyes of the person, which causes the image of the object to have some differences in the two eyes, but this difference is very small, so it is not easy to notice. In addition, due to the different distance between the object and the eye, the angle of view of the two eyes will also be different, and there will be some differences in the image seen by the different perspectives, and there is also the reflection of light on the ice. β
Speaking of this, it suddenly occurred to Li Qi that they should not understand optics, right? Immediately changed his words: "It's the illusion caused by the different light and shade before and after the whole ice sculpture." Weichen also used these illusions to make the emperor and the adults feel that the ice sculpture was convex. But there is a disadvantage of this method, that is, it must be seen from a specific angle, and I designed this ice sculpture according to the position of the emperor in front of me, if you change the position, you can't see it. As for the fire, when I carved it earlier, I had already engraved the word 'Da Song' in it, and I also deliberately carved the traces of the road of different heights, when I poured the wine in, the wine in the traces of the road was also somewhat different, when the wine burned for a while, relative to the side with more wine, the side with less wine The fire weakened faster, so it looked like it was tilting upward. β
The second trick is still easy to understand, but the first one, everyone still doesn't understand. However, Li Qi can only explain this, this three-dimensional painting principle contains too much advanced knowledge, this must be explained clearly, it has to be said that the previous year, and it may not be able to explain clearly.
Everyone touched their eyes with their hands, and their mouths said, "The distance between the eyes? β
After a while, Song Huizong's head hurt when he thought about it, but he still didn't understand it, and asked directly: "Then how did you know this trick?" β
"Huh?"
Li Qi scratched his head and said, "Well, this is actually what I realized by chance in my sketches, if this kind of thing is seriously thought, I can't think of it." β
When Zhang Zeduan heard this, he sneered and said, "Official Yan Envoy, can you teach this painting technique to Zaixia?" β
"Okay. After the Four Kingdoms Banquet, we are slowly discussing with each other. Li Qi said briskly, and added in his heart, but the premise is that you are willing to come to my college to teach, otherwise, you will not talk about it.
When Zhang Zeduan heard this, he nodded excitedly and thanked him.
When Song Huizong and the others saw it, they all shook their heads with a wry smile. Liang Shicheng glanced at Tian SΓ¨ and said to Song Huizong: "Your Majesty, it's not too early, we should go back." β
"yes, it's time to go back to the palace, haha, but it's really worth the trip today." Song Huizong took Li Qi's hand and said excitedly: "Li Qi, you can take my carriage, I still have some questions that I haven't figured out, let's talk about it on the road." β
"Your Majesty." Li Qi hurriedly saluted, there was a car to sit on, how could he refuse.
Liang Shicheng, Gao Yu and others listened to it, and they all had thoughtful expressions.
