"Dog's day, as soon as you open your mouth, it's the crime of bullying the king, can't you change it, MD, you must know that the most sin committed by Lao Tzu is the crime of bullying the king!"
Li Qi hurried towards the kitchen, muttering endlessly. But then again, what he was most afraid of when he arrived in the Northern Song Dynasty was really this crime of bullying the king, because he had told too many lies to this Song Huizong, so much that he couldn't remember how many, if you want to count it, I'm afraid Song Huizong is the biggest victim of his lies, of course, from the overall situation, it is also the biggest beneficiary, but this is also a matter of no way, who called Song Huizong the boss, do you deceive the superiors and deceive, don't lie to you.
"Richie, Richie."
Halfway through, Li Qi suddenly heard someone calling him, stopped and turned his head to look, and saw Mrs. Qin walking over alone in a hurry, and said in astonishment: "Madam? β
Mrs. Qin walked over and asked anxiously, "Li Qi, is something wrong?" β
Li Qi was stunned and said, "No! Why does Madame ask like that? β
Mrs. Qin hurriedly said: "Don't you want to lie to me, I didn't even call you a few times, but you didn't answer, you looked worried, and if something happened to you, why did the emperor suddenly come?" β
Alas. This lady is really sensitive to such things. Li Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Madame is too worried, the emperor is just here to beg for wine." β
In fact, Mrs. Qin can't be blamed for this, after all, too many things have happened recently, and Wang Zhongling is involved, she has never slept peacefully, and now she is a frightened bird, and worry is inevitable.
"Begging for a drink?" Mrs. Qin exclaimed, and then said with a deep frown: "Li Qi, do you really think I am a three-year-old child, the emperor is a dignified ninety-five supreme, how can you come here to beg for wine, if the emperor wants to drink, let you send it." β
Get! I almost forgot that no one believed me when she told the truth, and she still lied, so as not to entangle her again. Thinking of this, Li Qi sighed gloomily and said, "Since Madame has seen it, I won't hide it from you, something is wrong." β
Mrs. Qin frowned, and said with a sad face: "I knew that was the case, what happened?" β
Depend on! Sure enough, ouch, I'm really not a good person to tell the truth. Li Qi couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, and said in a serious way: "I'll tell you about this later, if I delay my efforts, this crime of bullying the king will depend on me." After that, he slipped away, in fact, what he was most annoying about was arguing with Mrs. Qin about such matters, it was too torturous, after all, Mrs. Qin was the kind of woman who was most afraid of trouble.
"The crime of deceit?"
Mrs. Qin was frightened when she arrived, she was an authentic Northern Song Dynasty person, this crime of bullying the monarch was very terrifying for her, and when she saw Li Qi hurriedly walking forward, she was extremely panicked, and hurriedly chased after her and asked, "Where are you going?" β
"Kitchen."
"What are you doing in the kitchen?"
Sweat! What else can you do in the kitchen? Li Qi said depressedly: "Madam, of course you go to the kitchen to cook, do you still go to Gong." β
"But what does cooking have to do with the crime of deceit?"
You're really persevering! Li Qi sighed: "It's hard to say! This is my last chance, if the emperor can't see the food in an hour, then I'll be done, go first. β
"Wait, this-this, what did the emperor ask you to cook? Why would it be strict? β
"New dish!"
"New dishes? What kind of dish is this? β
"Uh, that's the new dish."
During the conversation, the two came to the kitchen door, and at this time, Mrs. Chen also grabbed a duck and came over, panting and said, "My lord, the duck you want." β
Li Qi grabbed it with one hand and pinched it on the duck body a few times, and before he could speak, Mrs. Qin frowned and said, "Auntie, this duck is so thin, how can you get it, go and change it." β
Li Qi hurriedly said: "Don't don't, this dish has to be made by thin duck." β
Mrs. Qin let out an "ah" in surprise.
Li Qi didn't say much, and entered the kitchen, because it was not time to eat at this time, so there was no one in the kitchen, he just wanted to ask Mrs. Chen to call a few helpers, but these words had just come to his mouth, and he heard Mrs. Qin's preface and words: "Why is there no one, now it takes a lot of effort to call people, just the three of us to do it, Auntie, you go and kill the duck, Li Qi, you go and boil water, we have to hurry, an hour will pass soon." β
Depend on! What the hell, when will it be your turn to command in this kitchen? Li Qi was completely stunned, and said incredulously: "I." β
> Mrs. Qin stomped her feet and said, "What am I, don't hurry up, the crime of bullying the king is a capital crime." β
"Wait, wait!"
Li Qi raised his hand abruptly and said, "Madam, I heard you right, you-you mean, you want to help too?" β
Mrs. Qin nodded and said, "Yes! β
Li Qi opened his mouth slightly, stunned.
Mrs. Qin was about to cry anxiously, and said, "Look at what I'm doing, don't do it quickly, the emperor is still waiting there." Li Qi got Song Huizong and the others used to it, and he didn't care at all, but for an ordinary person, especially a woman's family, who dared to let the emperor wait, he must be very frightened.
It's a collision today, right? The price of food has dropped; The ordnance superintendent has made a musket; The emperor suddenly came to me to beg for wine; Madame wants to cook? Oh, my God! Li Qi was slightly stunned and said, "Madam, madam, don't get excited, actually- in fact, this matter is not so strict, I- I can handle it." β
Now, how could Mrs. Qin believe him, and said: "Your Majesty, they are here suddenly, you must have made a big mistake again, this cooking is the only thing you are good at, there must not be the slightest deviation, do you know, you have no jokes." β
Li Qi was extremely unhappy and said: "Madam, don't be so bullying, what is the only thing I am good at?" β
"Now is not the time to argue about this."
Mrs. Qin glared at him slightly and said, "Hurry up and do it." β
Richie's eyes widened and he said, "You-you're not kidding?" β
Mrs. Qin said with a serious face: "How can I laugh at such a big event, why don't you give the duck to the eldest lady quickly." β
It seems that she is real, and it's okay, she usually eats ready-made, and it's time to do it. Li Qi smiled and nodded, "Okay, madam, you and Aunt Chen will deal with this duck." As he spoke, he handed the duck to Aunt Chen.
But it didn't take long for him to regret it.
"Don't! Yikes! β
As soon as Li Qi finished boiling the water, he heard a scream from outside the door, and his heart sank, and he hurriedly said, "What's wrong?" β
Before he could finish speaking, a duck flew in from the door, flapping its wings, and its feathers flew all over the sky.
"Plop!"
"Bang!"
"Smack!"
In the blink of an eye, a bowl, a basin of water, and a bottle were knocked over.
No way! Can't you two even handle a duck? Li Qiren was about to faint, and when he saw Mrs. Qin walking in, he pointed to the duck within reach and said in a panic: "Hurry upβhurry up and catch it." β
In front of you, will you catch it? Richie felt like he was going crazy.
"Madam, please let me go."
Aunt Chen, who was blocked by Mrs. Qin, was in a hurry.
"Oh."
Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Chen flashed left and right with a tacit understanding, but they didn't let Mrs. Chen walk in. And the duck still wreaked havoc on the kitchen, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
What iniquity have I created? Li Qi walked over and grabbed the duck with one hand, with two bitter tears in his eyes, and said blankly: "What are you doing?" β
Aunt Chen hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault." β
Mrs. Qin waved her hand and said: "No, no, no, this is not about the eldest mother, in fact-in fact, I just saw that the eldest lady wanted to cut the neck of the duck with a knife, and I felt that it was too cruel, so I intervened to stop it, disturbing the eldest lady, and the duck broke free from her hands." β
Li Qi wanted to cry without tears and said, "Madam, this is not the first time you have seen someone kill a duck, right?" β
Mrs. Qin nodded awkwardly, before Li Qi came, she didn't even know what the kitchen looked like.
"Since you won't, why did you just say you wanted to help, aren't you hurting me?" Richie died of depression.
"Me." A layer of blush appeared on Mrs. Qin's face, as if it was the most beautiful rouge in the world, adding even more beauty.
If it was Xiao Liuzi standing in front of him, it was estimated that Li Qi would rush up directly and beat him up, but unfortunately, alas, it was still the old saying, the cook was sad about the beauty. Li Qi tried to calm his complicated feelings, pointed his hand out of the door, and said, "You two go out, especially Madame, you are simply a kitchen killer, it is better not to come to the kitchen in the future." β
"But."
Four Dopp! Li Qi raised his hand and said, "Do you want me to be convicted of bullying the king?" β
As soon as Mrs. Qin heard this crime of bullying the king, her face tightened, and she immediately turned her back and went out.
Li Qi looked up and sighed: "Oh my God! Why would I believe this woman. β
Without the burden of Mrs. Qin, Li Qi's state soared, even if there was only one person, he did it quickly and methodically, and after a while, two little cooks came, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it was called by Mrs. Qin, which was even more powerful.
In fact, the dish that Li Qi wants to do today is the more popular beer duck in later generations, because beer will make the duck meat soft, and it will not be greasy to eat without too much fatty meat, so Li Qi specially instructed Mrs. Chen not to look for fat duck, to find a thinner one, and the duck has a lot of oil, so you can't put a lot of oil, which is also a key.
This beer duck is a home-cooked dish, and Li Qi has made it many times, so there is no difficulty at all.
After a while, a strong special fragrance wafted out of the kitchen, and Mrs. Qin, who was standing outside the door and was hesitant, couldn't help but be stunned when she smelled the fragrance, and subconsciously said, "It's justβit's done." β
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone sarcastically say: "This is all thanks to your cooperation, madam!" β
Immediately afterwards, they saw Li Qi walk out, and the two little chefs behind them were holding two trays, on which were a total of one large, three small, and four exquisite dishes.
Mrs. Qin's face flushed, and she couldn't do anything.
Li Qi shook his head and said: "Madam, I just calculated a hexagram for you, and found that your life is inherently compatible with the kitchen, I advise you to come less in the future, human life is a matter of heaven." After speaking, he shook his head and left, leaving Mrs. Qin full of grievances.
In the front hall, Song Huizong, Cai Jing and others were talking and laughing, when they suddenly heard a strange fragrance wafting in, and several people were stunned, and their eyes shot out of the door at the same time.
"It's coming, it's coming."
Song Huizong recited with anticipation.
In less than a moment, Li Qi and the two apprentices walked in with delicacies, Li Qi first saluted Song Huizong, and then asked the two apprentices to put the dishes down.
Song Huizong and the others hurriedly approached to observe, and saw that it was a bowl of duck meat, a bowl of duck offal, and two bowls of cold dishes, and beckoned: "Li Qi, Li Qi, this-is this duck meat?" β
Li Qi was stunned, hearing what he said so weirdly, he felt a little empty in his heart, and said, "It should be!" β
Cai Jing said: "Yes, no, no, what should be?" β
Li Qi reacted at this time, nodded and said: "Back to the big official, I'm sure that this is definitely duck meat." β
Song Huizong sighed and said, "But why is the fragrance of this duck meat so special?" β
Li Bangyan nodded and said, "What the big official said is that I have never smelled such a strange fragrance. β
Li Qi explained: "It's all because I added that new style of unparalleled duck to the dish, and this dish is called unparalleled duck." β
"The best duck in the world?" Song Huizong read it in a low voice, and then pointed to the duck miscellaneous and said, "What about this one?" β
"Uh, there's no better duck in the worldβmiscellaneous."
Cai Jing smiled and said, "It's too casual for you to get the name of this dish." β
Li Qi said: "Taishi, I think this world is unparalleled and already represents a qiΔ." β
Song Huizong laughed and said: "This is a good word, the four words of unparalleled in the world have already explained a qiΔ." By the way, what about wine? β
"Oh, here we are."
Li Qi hurriedly waved his hand, and saw two subordinates walking in with two small wine barrels, but seeing that the wooden barrel was still bubbling with a slight cold, he knew that it had just been taken out of the ice cellar without asking.
Song Huizong was noisy and hurriedly beckoned a few people to sit down.
Li Qi said: "Pour wine." β
"Yes."
But when the two servants opened the cap, there was a pop, and a special fragrance suddenly spread.
Li Bangyan exclaimed: "Yes, yes, yes, this is the fragrance." β
Then they saw a golden liquid flowing out of the barrel, it was very cool, and this gold was something they had never seen before, it was extremely beautiful, and it was very tempting.
For Song Huizong, who had never seen beer, the visual impact could be imagined, and several people took a sharp breath of cold air, and saw that after the wine fell into the glass, a layer of white foam emerged, and some flowed out.
Song Huizong's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "This wine is really bubbling." β
Day. It seems that what Su Shilie said on the dog day is really detailed. Richie broke out in a cold sweat and rolled his eyes.
Cai Jinglian exclaimed: "It's strange, it's strange." β
Several people stared at the wine in their glasses with wide eyes, and only their gasps could be heard in the whole hall.
What the hell! Isn't this a work of art, so you need to look so closely? Li Qi reminded in a low voice: "Big official, you can drink." β
Several people were slightly stunned, and this first action was surprisingly similar, that is, using their mouths to absorb the layer of foam that was higher than the mouth of the cup.
When Li Qi saw it, he almost didn't laugh out loud.
After smashing it a few times, Song Huizong felt that the foam was very delicate, and he couldn't help it, so he quickly raised his cup and said, "Come on, let's taste this new style of unparalleled in the world." β
After a few people raised their glasses, except for Cai Jing, the rest of the people were poured into their stomachs, the first feeling of this entrance was ice, as if the throat was about to be frozen, all the way to the stomach, a cool air spread out in the body, in this hot weather, it was really cool to the extreme, and the reason why Cai Jing didn't dry up was because it was too cold, and when I tasted it carefully, I felt that the taste of this wine was soft, mellow and refreshing.
"Cool!"
As soon as the wine glass fell, Song Huizong exclaimed loudly and said, "Good wine, good wine." β
Li Bangyan was also amazed and said: "Although this wine has a little bitterness, the taste is refreshing and mellow, without a trace of impurities, and what is even more commendable is that this cold breath seems to be innately this wine, it is really delicious, good wine, good wine." β
"The wine is so delicious, then this duck must have something special."
Song Huizong smashed it a few times, smelled the strange fragrance of duck meat, couldn't help but move his index finger, picked up a piece of shiny duck meat in his mouth and put it, just chewed, Fang Jue duck meat was soft and glutinous, slightly spicy and fragrant, and there was no fishy smell, and the fragrance of duck meat mixed with the unparalleled fragrance in the world seemed to change into a strange fragrance that had never been smelled, which made people appetizing and had an endless aftertaste.
Song Huizong only shook his head and sighed: "This duck meat is really unparalleled in the world!" (To be continued)
