Pufferfish are no less delicious than abalone fin belly, or even better, because there are not many people who can cook pufferfish, which means that there are still many undeveloped flavors in pufferfish, even in later generations.

The most commendable thing is that pufferfish is a treasure, even those highly poisonous internal organs, eyes, etc., are very delicious, and each has its own characteristics, but unfortunately now the technology is limited, Li Qi does not dare to risk adding fish eyes, caviar and other umami.

It would be a pity if it was processed whole, but if it was made separately, it would be unconventional, so Li Qi thought of using a painting to gather all the delicious flavors of pufferfish in one dish.

Song Huizong walked around, suddenly pointed to the background, and asked, "Li Qi, what is this white sรจ and yellow sรจ?" โ€

Li Qi laughed: "The top is the stewed egg white, and the bottom is the stewed egg, I did this to fix the fish so as not to mess up, but the pufferfish fish soup is added to it, and it is also very delicious." โ€

Everyone took a closer look, and sure enough, those fish heads and golden dragons were all trapped in the egg custard.

Cai Jing pointed to the golden dragon again and asked, "This golden dragon is made of pufferfish meat?" โ€

"Taishi only said half right, in fact, this golden dragon is composed of three parts of pufferfish, one of which is braised pufferfish meat, I take the back muscle of the fish, cut it into strips, and fry it in the oil pan with the fish liver, because the fish liver of pufferfish is the freshest river fish, after the umami of the puffer liver is completely forced out, then add sugar, a small amount of fire wine, honey, hoisin sauce, abalone juice, special sauce, boil about half a column of incense on high heat, turn to low heat and then boil about a stick of incense to collect the juice out of the pot."

As he spoke, he pointed to the place where the golden dragon was bent. "The second is the mouth of the pufferfish, this golden dragon is made of a total of six pufferfish, so I chose the mouth of the pufferfish to connect them together, this pufferfish mouth is no less delicious than pufferfish meat, with thick soup and pigeon eggs, it is really delicious." The third is the tail whiskers of pufferfish, which is the whiskers on the dragon head that you see now, these fish tail whiskers are marinated in abalone, and you must try them later. โ€

Listen. Everyone secretly wondered that they couldn't imagine that the method of this golden dragon turned out to be so complicated. At the same time, they understood why he had to cook pufferfish in so many stoves, and if he did the same, he would not have to do it tomorrow.

Song Moquan suddenly saw that the "bamboo" in the lower left corner was quite hard, and couldn't help asking, "What is this bamboo made of?" โ€

Li Qi saw that it was Song Moquan, and unconsciously pursed his lips, and then said, "Fish bones." โ€

Wang Hao was surprised: "Fish bones can also be eaten?" โ€

"You can't help but eat it, and the bones of pufferfish are also a must."

Li Qi smiled. Then he explains: "I first marinate a little of the pufferfish's backbone, then hang a layer of egg batter and fry it, and then wrap it outside with the straw that has been burned with the pufferfish meat in the front. This not only increases the aesthetics, but also reduces the grease and accentuates the crispiness of the spine. โ€

Song Moquan nodded with a smile and said, "Fish bones? Bamboo? Not to mention. It's a bit of a good idea. โ€

Cai Jing suddenly pointed to the river and said, "What is this river that comes down from the sky made of?" โ€

Since it is called swallowing mountains and rivers, how can there be mountains and no rivers. Li Qi replied: "It is made with five pieces of puffer fish skin and crab roe stewed together. Take Li Taibai's 'The water of the Yellow River comes from the sky'. However, there is a lot of crab roe in it, and it is best to eat less if you are over 45 years old. โ€

This kid is still thinking about teasing me at this time, which is really infuriating. Cai Jing coughed lightly, and after thinking about it, he said to eat less, but he didn't say that he couldn't eat, how much less to eat, and there was no specific amount. Obviously, this old foodie has taken a fancy to this fish skin.

Song Huizong glanced at Cai Jing, smiled slightly, pointed to the fiery "Chaoyang" and the white moon, and said, "What is this moon made of?" โ€

Li Qi smiled: "This sun is made of puffer fish liver I mentioned earlier, and that moon is made of fish ribs, which are very nutritious things, and I also use hens, ducks, pig's trotters, ham, and puffer fish skeletons to cook with them, not to mention the taste for the time being, but the nutrition is the best in it." โ€

"I see."

Song Huizong nodded, and suddenly saw a group of herringbone flying geese under the golden dragon, and said, "Huh? What is it? "This is made from the dorsal and pectoral fins of pufferfish and the oil fried from oysters."

Duan Zhengwen sighed: "This is really incredible, this scroll of painting was completed with only a few pufferfish, and the taste of each scene is different. Speaking of the back, he suddenly realized that the most beautiful words in the world could not describe this dish.

At this time, the heat decreased a lot, Zhao Kai was young, his eyes were better, and he pointed to the "white mist" between the "mountains" and said, "Li Qi, what is this?" โ€

He sweated profusely! You have to ask me this, too? Li Qi sneered: "Your Highness, this is sashimi. โ€

"Sashimi?"

Zhao Kai exclaimed in surprise and said, "I didn't expect the pufferfish meat to be so crystal clear and white as jade. โ€

Li Qi smiled: "Your Highness, it is said that it is sashimi, but in fact, it has also undergone some processing, in fact, I first marinated the fish fillet with egg whites, and then boiled a little in the broth, which became like this, and I have to eat it with my special sauce." โ€

Zhao Kai saw that none of them had any sauce when they tried to do it, and asked curiously: "What about the sauce?" โ€

Li Qi pointed to the eight big characters with his hand and said, "There it is." โ€

Song Huizong was stunned: "You said that this character was written in sauce? โ€

"It's not written."

Li Qi shook his head and said, "I first asked Scholar Zhang to write it for me, and then asked someone to carve it on the wood, and when the egg white is stewed, put the wood in it first, and after the egg white is stewed, take out the wood and then pour in the sauce." โ€

Everyone felt a little dizzy, just a few words, it's complicated, but every part of the whole dish is full of jing, and the ingredients are just right.

After listening to this, Long Jiang and the other imperial chefs were silent for a long time, and their faces looked a little ugly.

Li Qi stretched out his hand and gestured: "Your Majesty, your lords, do you want to taste this dish first?" โ€

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot it was a dish." Song Huizong smiled bitterly.

What are these words? Li Qi said: "According to the pufferfish rule, when eating pufferfish. The person who cooks the "Little Chef of the Northern Song Dynasty Chapter 375 Golden Knife Chef" should eat it first, so can the emperor allow Weichen to taste it first. โ€

Only then did everyone remember that this picturesque dish was made with highly poisonous pufferfish, and they couldn't help but be a little timid.

Song Huizong nodded with a smile and said, "That's okay, you can taste it first." โ€

"Yes."

Because this dish is so huge, the three of Li Qi's master and apprentice serve it together, and every "scenery" is to try it.

After tasting it, after a while, Li Qicai said, "Your Majesty, my lords." Please use it. โ€

Song Huizong couldn't wait, took the chopsticks, thought about it for a while, and finally chose the golden dragon, picked up a piece of pufferfish meat and put it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the freshest in the world. โ€

Cai Jing and Gao Yu had tasted pufferfish, and they were not afraid at all, Cai Jing went straight to the crab roe skin. After eating a small piece, I felt that the skin of the fish was crispy and tough, and the chew was full of spice, and the fragrance of crab roe was matched. It's just tailor-made for him, and after eating one piece after another, he takes all of his words to heart.

And Gao Yu chose the moon made of fish ribs. As soon as it is put in the mouth, the first reaction is to lubricate, and it is not greasy, and before it is chewed carefully, it gently slides into the esophagus, giving people a feeling as soft as moonlight shining on the body.

He was not interested in something too small, he couldn't eat it, he stood still, and put his chopsticks faster than anyone else.

Zhao Kai disdained to stand with this rough man, turned to the bottom, picked up a fish bone, put it in his mouth, clicked, and said in surprise: "Well, this fish bone is crispy and delicious, it really has a unique flavor, delicious, really delicious." โ€

Zuo Boqing didn't fight with them, he picked egg custard to eat. Li Qi smiled slightly, and said secretly, this is the person who can eat. The custard absorbs the jinghua of the whole pufferfish, so it is not worse than the pufferfish.

After Zuo Boqing tasted it, he glanced at Li Qi and said with a smile: "This is really an imaginary taste." โ€

Song Huizong was curious: "Boqing, what are you talking about?" What do you want the taste of "Little Chef of the Northern Song Dynasty"? โ€

Zuo Boqing bowed his head slightly and told Song Huizong what Li Qi said.

When everyone heard this, they nodded frequently, and they all felt that what they said was reasonable.

Song Huizong laughed when he heard this, and said, "Li Qi, although I haven't tasted your father's cooking, I believe that you must have surpassed your father today." โ€

Li Qi's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but ask himself, really? If my father was here, what would he say about my dish? Unfortunately, I can no longer compete with my father. Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly darkened. Suddenly, the black shadow in front of him shook, and he was slightly stunned, only to see that the ministers who were afraid to eat just now had all gathered around, and the table was flooded.

"Well, Zhengdao, come and taste this fish head, it's really delicious."

"Wang Xiang, you come to taste this sashimi, it's really a must to be dipped in this sauce."

๏ผŽ

Wow! Is it necessary to exaggerate that? Li Qi was in a cold sweat, and suddenly saw Long Jiang go to Su Shi Liebohe's side and whispered a few words, and then Su Shi Liebo He gave him a small piece of fish liver and fish. Over there, Gao Ping and Guo Qian also walked to Duan Zhengwen and Richard respectively, hoping to taste the pufferfish. After tasting it, the expressions of the three were very complicated.

After only a while, the painting was washed away by Song Huizong and other ministers, and there was not even any slag left, and now it is a bare iron plate. But everyone still looks like they can't get enough. You must know that except for Cai Jing and Gao Yu, the rest of the people are eating this pufferfish for the first time, and the deliciousness of this pufferfish itself is enough to make them crazy.

After eating, these ministers changed from wild beasts to humble gentlemen, sat in their seats, sipping tea slowly, reminiscing about the delicious taste just now, and many people were talking about the deliciousness of that part of the pufferfish, and the best response was not the pufferfish meat, but the pufferfish beak and pufferfish ribs.

The four dishes had been tasted, and Li Qi and the three imperial chefs stood in the middle of the hall, waiting for Song Huizong to announce the final result.

Song Huizong took a sip of tea, coughed lightly, and said loudly: "The four dishes have been tasted, which one do you think is the best." โ€

Wang Hao shook his head and said, "Entertainment Show": "These four dishes are all delicious in the world, so it's not good to evaluate." โ€

Cai Jing said: "Wang Xiang is right, these four dishes are very delicious, especially Master Long's palm gold bead and Li Qi's qi swallowing mountains and rivers. Speaking of this, he changed his words and said: "However, Li Qi's dish is a collection of fried, boiled, stewed, stewed, simmered, stir-fried and other cooking methods, and the taste of the dish includes fresh, sweet, salty, sour, etc., which can be said to be a collection of the world's tastes, so the old man thinks Li Qi's pufferfish is the best." โ€

Duan Zhengwen laughed and said: "I thought Li Qi was turning sweet, salty and sour into a taste, that is, fresh, just ask what flavor in the world can beat this fresh word, the first fresh in the world, and naturally the best." โ€

Gao Yu nodded and said: "Not only that, Li Qi's 'Riyue contending for glory, swallowing mountains and rivers' can be said to be the best of the Four Kingdoms Banquet, and Weichen thinks that no dish can beat it." โ€

"I also think Richie's pufferfish is the most delicious, but it's a pity that no one in my big gold can cook this pufferfish." โ€

Song Huizong was very useful to say this, laughed, and said: "I have the same idea as you, this dish is really an imaginary taste, oh no, it should be said that it has exceeded imagination." โ€

The rest of the people also think that Li Qi should win, and their opinions are very unified, this is the first time in the previous Four Kingdoms Banquet, after all, everyone's taste is different, but Li Qi's dish is all-encompassing, and you can always find what you like to eat.

Song Huizong was overjoyed and said, "Since you are so fond of Li Qi's pufferfish, then I announce that Li Qi will win this third round." After a pause, he said again: "In the three rounds of competition, Li Qi is better than the second, so the winner of the Four Nations Banquet this time is Li Qi." โ€

This result is well deserved, no one has any objections, even the other three imperial chefs did not show even a trace of disbelief on their faces, they themselves are great gourmets, when they tasted the pufferfish made by Li Qi, they had already expected the result, disappointment is inevitable, after all, after so long preparation, everyone wants to take the first, but this does not mean that they admit defeat, the next session, if there is a next session, they also hope to compete with Li Qi again.

As for Li Qi's master and apprentice, except for Li Qi, who is still relatively calm, Wu Xiaoliu and Chen Dazhu are trembling with excitement, one biting his lower lip and the other biting his upper lip to avoid laughing out loud, and silently reciting Li Qi's four-character mantra in his heart, low-key, low-key.

Song Huizong saw that Li Qi's expression was flat and very demeanor, and he liked it even more in his heart, so he waved his hand and said, "Give me a knife." โ€

Liang Shicheng personally came to Li Qi with the nine-star golden knife in both hands, and whispered, "Congratulations, congratulations." โ€

"Thank you."

Li Qi took the knife, the golden light was very dazzling, but he didn't mind, and saluted with the two apprentices: "Thank you for the emperor's generous reward." โ€

"Well, you deserve it. I haven't rewarded you yet. โ€

Song Huizong raised his hand, suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "Since you have won this nine-star golden knife, then I will specially seal you as the king of the golden knife kitchen." โ€

cฤo๏ผ Come to this set again, your mother's reward will be fine, what are you doing so elegantly, I don't mind it, no matter how bad it is, you can seal me a golden knife and a horse, of course, the premise is that the princess is willing to be a junior, and she looks no worse than Zhao Jingyan.
