"Okay, now there is only one last material left, and if any of you can guess it, the forty taels will belong to whomever it is." The middle-aged man looked at Li Qi and Zhao Yun with a smile on his face, as for the future life on the side, he had never paid attention to it.
Zhao Yun first took a sip and said, "Rice wine? There was a hint of uncertainty in his voice.
The middle-aged man smiled and shook his head.
Zhao Yun took three sips in a row, his face was solemn, and he shook his head silently, as if he was stumped by this last material.
Li Qi was not very optimistic, he drank four or five sips in one go, and a bowl of soup bottomed out, but he still couldn't guess it, squinting his eyes, and his face was also full of sadness.
"This little brother, do you need to serve another bowl for you?" The middle-aged man saw that Li Qi had finished drinking a bowl of soup, and said kindly, he seemed to hope that Li Qi and Zhao Yun could guess this last material.
Li Qi was slightly stunned, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "Thank you, no---。 ”
Halfway through the words, Li Qi's eyes suddenly widened, staring at the empty bowl in front of him, picked it up and took a closer look, and saw a filament sticking to the inner wall of the bowl, if you don't look carefully, you can't find it at all.
This is the thing?
Li Qi twisted the filament with his fingers and looked at it, his eyes lit up, and he said with great joy: "I know, I know." ”
Zhao Yun was stunned and said, "Brother Li, haven't you tasted this last material?" ”
The latter also looked at Li Qi expectantly.
Li Qi smiled and nodded.
The middle-aged man said happily, "Little brother, please speak quickly." ”
Li Qi glanced at him and said slowly: "It's a ---silkworm chrysalis that has been dried and soaked in fine rice wine." ”
There was an uproar.
Zhao Yun was surprised: "You said yes--- is a silkworm chrysalis?" ”
Li Qi nodded, and then said to the middle-aged man, "I'm not wrong. ”
"Yes, you're right."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man lifted the last piece of red cloth from the board.
Sure enough, the word 'silkworm chrysalis' was written on it.
Immediately there was a burst of cheers.
Zhao Yun laughed and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Li, you are not only good at cooking, but also your tongue is very tight, Zhao Yun admires, admires." ”
Li Qi shook his head and smiled: "Actually, the reason why I can win you is really a fluke, when it comes to tasting food, you and I are probably only between the best." ”
"Brother Li, aren't you afraid that I can't afford to lose?" Zhao Yun said dissatisfied.
"Of course not."
Li Qi shook his head and smiled: "Brother Zhao doesn't know, the reason why I was able to taste this last ingredient is not by my tongue, but by my eyes." ”
Zhao Yun was surprised: "Oh? Why is that? ”
"yes, yes, don't you have soup with your eyes?" The latter also asked with interest on his face.
Li Qi rolled his eyes, raised his right index finger, and said, "The key is here." ”
Zhao Yun took a closer look, saw that there was a filament on it, and remembered the answer that Li Qi had just said, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Isn't this silk?" ”
"Not bad."
Li Qi nodded and said, "Presumably Brother Zhao also tasted the smell of wine in this soup." ”
Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Yes, it's just that the taste of this wine is too bland, and it doesn't look like it was poured in directly." ”
A flash of praise flashed in Li Qi's eyes, and he nodded: "I haven't been able to guess just now, it's because the smell of this last material is covered by the smell of wine, but later, I saw that there was a silk in the bowl, and judging from the color of the silk, I didn't want it to have just floated in, so I thought that this last material was a silkworm chrysalis." ”
"Wonderful, wonderful."
After hearing this, the middle-aged man clapped his palms and said happily: "This little brother is observant and quick-witted. Of course, this Zhao Gongzi is not far behind, and it is really worth the trip to be able to meet the two of you today. ”
Li Qi laughed and said: "I'm not as godly as you say, if I didn't have these forty taels of silver, I might not even be able to guess a material." ”
"Haha!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter.
The middle-aged man laughed a few times, and then handed over forty taels of silver to Li Qi.
Li Qi unceremoniously took the silver, took out twenty taels and handed it to Zhao Yun, and said with a smile: "You and I are equally divided, and this silver must be divided equally." ”
Zhao Yun shook his head and politely refused: "Anyway, Brother Li is a superior skill after all, and this silver should belong to you, besides, if I came for this silver, maybe it will be me who wins that person." ”
Li Qi laughed and said, "Reasonable, reasonable." ”
At this moment, the entourage beside Zhao Yun suddenly whispered: "Son, it's not too early, we should go back." ”
Zhao Yun nodded slightly, and said to Li Qi with a regretful face: "Brother Li, there is still something to do, so I will leave first, and on the day he gets drunk and the immortal residence opens, Zhao Yun will definitely go to cheer." ”
Li Qi arched his hand and smiled: "Okay, let's see you in three days." ”
After Zhao Yun left, Li Qi let out a sigh of relief, glanced at the locust tree, and sent that the middle-aged man had already left, shook his head with a smile, turned around, and found that Chen Xiaozhu had also come at some point, and said with a smile: "Xiaozhu, when did you come?" ”
Chen Xiaozhu said: "I also just came here for a while, oh, Madame asked me to call you to dinner." ”
"I see." Li Qi nodded and handed the silver to Wu Xiaoliu.
Wu Xiaoliu held the silver, smiled, and said with a sneer: "Brother Li, you are so good, when will you teach me this skill." ”
Li Qi smiled: "This is not a skill, as long as you have been cooking for more than ten years, you will naturally be able to do it, and you don't need me to teach you." ”
More than ten years?
Wu Xiaoliu and Chen Xiaozhu looked at each other, this skill is really not easy to learn.
Chen Xiaozhu took Li Qi to a relatively grand house, three stories high, carved beams and paintings, pointed to the room and said, "Brother Li, madam, they are waiting for you inside." ”
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, listening to his tone, it seemed that he was not ready to go in with him, and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
Chen Xiaozhu smiled innocently, pointed to a small room on the side, and said, "We'll eat in that house." ”
Li Qi looked in the direction pointed by Chen Xiaozhu, and saw that it was just a very simple narrow door hut, and from a distance, he could vaguely see a few young men dressed as family members, sighed, nodded and said, "Then you guys go quickly." ”
After Chen Xiaozhu and Wu Xiaoliu left, Li Qi shook his head and walked towards the dining hall, but as soon as he came to the door, a white paper folding fan suddenly fell across his chest.
Immediately after, a contemptuous voice came from the side, "Boy, you're in the wrong place. ”
Li Qi turned his head and saw that it was a man in his twenties, slightly fat, and average-looking, but he was dressed very gorgeously, wearing a four-cornered soft gauze scarf, wearing a red embroidered robe, and a little playfulness in his eyes.
Li Qi looked left and right, and said in surprise: "There is no mistake." ”
The man saw that Li Qi was wearing a green robe, which was extremely shabby, and said disdainfully: "This place is not for people like you to enter." ”
Li Qi frowned secretly, still with a smile on his face, and asked curiously: "Why can't I enter?" ”
The man seemed to think that Li Qi's question was very interesting, so he laughed and said, "Could it be that when you go to the palace, the guards there stop you and don't allow you to enter, don't you ask him like this?" ”
Li Qi shrugged and said, "But this is not the palace, and you are not a guard." ”
"For someone like you, there's no difference between the two."
The man smiled disdainfully, then pointed to the hut that Wu Xiaoliu had just gone to and said, "See, that's where you should go." ”
"That's not true."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "Other places, I don't know very well, maybe it's just like you said, but this is the territory of the Buddha and his old man's house, and the Buddha's grandfather often tells us that 'all living beings are equal', since all living beings are equal, that is to say, at least on this one-third of an acre of land in his old man's house, the status of animals and people is equal, since animals can enter, why can't I enter." ”
"Good! You can say that again. ”
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded from behind, "A good beast can enter, why can't I enter, it's too damn good." ”
Li Qi turned his head to look and saw that the person who came was the one who had just tasted it with him.
The man glanced at the afterlife, and his face, which was already blue, became even more iron-blue.
