After waiting for more than an hour, I was finally ready to eat.

Cai Jing almost didn't cry on the spot, if Gao Yu knew the classic line of "I am hundreds of thousands of times a second" in later generations, it is estimated that he would yell in Li Qi's ear a hundred times. However, the strange fragrance accompanied by the chill made the last bit of resentment in their hearts go away with the wind, and they all came over with greedy faces. Chapter 364 Cai Jing rubbed his hands and asked, "Do we need to wash our hands?" ”

"This."

Li Qi squeezed out a smile and said, "I think - whether you eat pufferfish or not, you should wash your hands before eating." ”

Cai Jing blushed and said to Cai Yong: "Yongzi, go get some hot water." ”

Cai Yong said with embarrassment: "Master, where did this hot water come from?" ”

Cai Jing looked at Li Qi again. Li Qi spread his hands and said with a smile: "Taishi, you have just seen it, I washed it with stream water." ”

When Cai Jing thought of taking cold water in this year, he shivered, coughed lightly, and walked towards the shed. Gao Yu waited for him to enter, and he also lowered his head and walked inside.

Depend on! It's all a bunch of what's in. Li Qi sighed helplessly, and whispered to Wu Xiaoliu and Chen Dazhu, whose faces were red: "These are all negative examples, don't learn from him." ”

Niri nodded vigorously.

Li Qi stretched out his right hand to serve the plate, and suddenly there was a feeling of weakness in his right hand, only to hear a soft "bang", and the plate in his hand suddenly got out of his hand.

Seeing this, Wu Xiaoliu hurriedly said, "Brother Li, what's wrong with you?" ””

Li Qi clenched his fist with his right hand, and found that his arm still felt a little sore, and said secretly, damn it, why hasn't it recovered yet. Said lightly: "Let's go in." ”

"Oh."

Wu Xiaoliu glanced at Li Qi worriedly, and then brought the plate in, and Li Qi also went in.

When Cai Jing saw the plate of pufferfish meat on the table, he swallowed his saliva vigorously, but without Li Qi's permission, no one dared to act rashly. Li Qi stretched out his left hand and picked up the chopsticks on the table, and said with a smile: "The last rule of the pufferfish is that when the chef or the host invites guests to a banquet, they should eat first, which is the highest respect for guests." ”

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of tender, fat pufferfish meat and put it in his mouth, and after savoring it, he smiled secretly, it seems that my craftsmanship has not regressed. Maybe he hadn't eaten pufferfish for a long time, and this pure pufferfish was indeed delicious enough, so he himself was greedy, coughed lightly, and said, "In order to show my respect, I decided to eat another piece." As he spoke, he picked up another piece of pufferfish and put it in his mouth.

Cai Jing was stunned and looked at him blankly.

In the blink of an eye, Li Qi had already eaten four pieces of pufferfish meat, and it seemed that there was a tendency to continue. Wu Xiaoliu is the Li Qi who knows the most, and he is also the most delicious, the phobia of pufferfish earlier has long disappeared, seeing that Li Qi is eating so deliciously, he said: "Brother Li, we are also chefs, do you also give us a chance to show respect for the guests." ”

This idiot. Li Qi scolded secretly and glared at Wu Xiaoliu quickly.

Sure enough, Cai Jing and others were told by Wu Xiaoliu, and they all reacted when they arrived, this dish looks like a lot, but you must know that there is still pork belly mixed in it, and pufferfish meat is actually very little. Cai Jing said unhappily: "Your sincerity is enough. ”

Although Gao Yu was not as delicious as Cai Jing, when he saw Li Qiguang's premature transformation, he competed to play with them between applause, and said angrily: "Do you want to show us the skills of using chopsticks with your left hand?" ”

These two old people should be careful. Li Qi sneered and said: "Where, where, Taiwei smiled, I just want to ensure safety, after I tried it myself, a few people can use it with confidence." ”

Cai Jing was too lazy to talk nonsense with this guy, so he couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and said with a smile: "Come on, let's eat." ”

"Yes."

Wu Furong nodded respectfully, but he also had to wait for Cai Jing and Gao Yu to eat before he could move his chopsticks.

Cai Jing picked up a piece of fat pufferfish meat, hesitated for a while, or stuffed it into his mouth, this time it was terrible, I saw Cai Jing's withered, sallow face as if the second chun, the whole facial muscles twitched, eyes flashed, this piece has not yet been eaten, the chopsticks have been stretched into the bowl, a pair of chopsticks suddenly stretched out in the face, a soft sound, two pairs of chopsticks in the air above the pufferfish slammed lightly, and the fire splashed.

Needless to say, the main entry of those pair of chopsticks is naturally high.

The two entered each other, gave in a few more words, and started a new round of pufferfish battle. Wu Furong secretly grabbed a piece of pufferfish meat and hurriedly put it in his mouth, his eyes opened, and before he could react, the pufferfish meat in his mouth was already in his stomach, and he wanted to stretch out his chopsticks again, but when he saw Cai Jing's red eyes, he finally took his hand back. He knew that Li Qi couldn't just practice once, and there would be opportunities in the future.

Li Qi sat on the side, leisurely sipping tea, looking at the appearance of Erjin gobbling up, he couldn't help but feel a little funny.

After a while, Cai Jing and Gao Yu suddenly found that the eyes of the rest of the people were all focused on them, and their faces were slightly embarrassed, and at the same time, they put down their chopsticks and drank a glass of wine.

Cai Jing stroked his beard and sighed: "Captain, I finally understand why Scholar Su said that the taste of pufferfish is worth the death, I can't imagine that the old man can still taste this delicacy in the year of the candle, it is really no regret." ”

Gao Yu nodded and said: "This taste is really the first freshness in the world, I can eat this pufferfish, I'm afraid I will eat fish tastelessly from now on." ”

Cai Jing laughed and said, "It's a good one." ”

Wow! This sycophant can be filmed, there is really yours, but you don't just shoot the pufferfish, pat mine, this is what I did, and it would be better if I could give some reward. Li Qi saw that Erjin didn't say a word about himself, and he was very unhappy in his heart.

Cai Jing didn't think as much as Li Qi thought, his attention was still on this dish, and he asked, "Li Qi, what's the name of your dish?" ”

Li Qi was slightly stunned and replied, "No name, this is just a casual job." ”

Gao Yu was surprised: "Didn't you use this dish to attend the Four Kingdoms Banquet?" ”

Brother Yu, you don't know how to cook, don't be so ignorant, just the appearance of this dish, do I dare to serve it out, this water is too obvious. "Of course not, what you are tasting now is only a half-finished product—in fact, you can't talk about a half-finished product, it's just a taste of pufferfish." ”

You can't talk about semi-finished products, so what will the finished product look like? Cai Jing hurriedly asked, "Then what are you going to do with this pufferfish?" ”

Li Qi said with a smile: "I only have a preliminary idea for the time being, and there are still many details that have not been thought out clearly, and the Taishi will know it by then." ”

Cai Jing nodded slightly, looking forward to it.

Gao Yu suddenly frowned, and said, "I see that the process of making zuò pufferfish is very complicated, and what is your intention in burying the internal organs of pufferfish in the soil?" ”

"That's because the entrails are highly toxic and have to be burned or buried, and I'm doing it just in case," Richie explained. ”

Gao Yu actually guessed it, and said, "In that case, can't you handle it outside first, and then bring it into the palace." "He is very cautious about entering the palace, and the palace is no more than anywhere else, just like a pufferfish, and the slightest mistake can cause a catastrophe.

Li Qi shook his head and said: "Taiwei doesn't know, this pufferfish must be cooked alive, from slaughter to before the pot, it can't exceed half an hour, but Taiwei, please rest assured, I will definitely handle it carefully." ”

Gao Yu nodded and said, "Okay, when I enter the palace, I will explain this matter to the emperor, and the emperor will have to decide." ”

Li Qi felt that he should inform the emperor first, and said, "Then there is Captain Lao." But can the captain tell the emperor alone, I don't want to expose my dishes too early. ”

Gao Yu smiled: "I naturally know this." ”

Cai Jing stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and said, "Li Qi, did you learn this skill from your father?" ”

"Yes."

Li Qi nodded, his father was a pufferfish, and in order to learn how to cook pufferfish, he went to Jingjiang to live for a year, and when he came back, he proudly called himself "old poison".

Cai Jing said: "In other words, there is no other person in this craft except you?" ”

Li Qi frowned and thought about it, he didn't know if he had been cooking pufferfish in this year, but he was sure that there was definitely no process of cooking pufferfish that he was so perfect. Nodding his head, "So to speak." ”

Cai Jing said slyly: "How many tricks do you have to learn this craft?" ”

Gao Yu also looked at Li Qi with a hint of expectation.

Sweat! It turns out that this old guy wants to let me learn this craft, so that I can cook it for him. Li Qi understood that to say that this pufferfish is actually very beneficial to entering, but the requirements for cooking it are very high and meticulous, which is the most basic, and the details determine a qiē. So Li Qi doesn't want to teach how to cook pufferfish at the moment, and if something happens, he can't get out of it. He said truthfully: "Master, the process required to cook pufferfish is cumbersome, complicated, and there is no room for mistakes, just to hone in this area, it will take more than a year, and there is also a lot of knowledge about pufferfish, even if you are an experienced chef, I am afraid you have to learn for three years." ”

"It takes so long?"

Cai Jing's eyes flashed with a touch of disappointment, he is a very delicious intake, it can be seen from his crab roe bun group, to make a crab roe bun, you have to engage in assembly line operations, how can this be made by ordinary people, and this pufferfish umami is better than crab roe, it must be more than it, how can you satisfy him with a taste. And said, "Then do you still practice these two ri?" ”

ri。 You're still sticking to me. Li Qi smiled bitterly: "Taishi, now there are less than four years left before the Four Kingdoms Banquet, and the pufferfish I have caught are limited, so I will only practice once, but I hope that Taishi can maintain the mystery of this dish for me, or stay at the banquet and taste this dish again." ”

That's just the case, that's a few years of work. Cai Jing nodded and said briskly: "That's okay." You do what you say. After a pause, he asked again: "Li Qi, what are you going to cook for the soup competition?" ”

Li Qi said: "Boiling water and songs, but I will add some precious materials to it, and the taste is definitely much better than before." ”

Cai Jing tasted this dish, and heard him say this, and he also had some bottom in his heart, and said: "But you can't be careless, I heard Xuan'er say that this time the imperial chef of Jin Guo came prepared, and he also threatened to go back with Quansheng this time." ”

Li Qi said with a smile: "Don't worry, Taishi, who wouldn't, if he dares to bet a thousand yuan to buy him to win, then I really admire him." ”

Cai Jing laughed and said, "You kid, fortunately, Najin hasn't met you yet, otherwise you would have to provoke him to bet." ”

It's a must. Li Qi smiled and did not answer. Sanjin is very much looking forward to the arrival of the Four States Banquet.
