Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The entire Dragon Pavilion Garden instantly became silent.
Rather than being dumbfounded, perhaps it would be more appropriate to use petrification.
When this long-legendary dish finally revealed its true face of Lushan, everyone should have this expression, but there was a trace of confusion in their eyes, which made people have to be curious.
After a long while, Song Huizong was suddenly stunned, raised his eyes to look at Li Qi, his voice trembled a little, and said, "Li-Li Qi, why did you bring a bowl of clear water?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the rest of the people also reacted, and they all looked at Li Qi in surprise.
Song Huizong was not in the mood to joke about such a "big event". Yes, everyone's bowl is just a bowl of transparent "clear water", which is why they are petrified on the spot.
These people have all seen Li Qi's cooking, that dish is not gorgeous, full of color, flavor, and flavor, and this Wuxiang is only from the perspective of materials, it is even more noble and luxurious, otherwise Song Huizong would not arrange Wuxiang on the celebration banquet.
Not only that, everyone has already seen the dishes derived from Wuxiang just now, the Tao is very gorgeous and delicious, they are still thinking, how gorgeous and delicious the real Wuxiang will be, never thought that Li Qi directly brought them a bowl of water, this gap is really the difference between heaven and earth, no one can accept it.
Cai Jing was puzzled: "Isn't this water also for me to wait for my mouth?" ”
Everyone nodded their heads, all thinking that this was for sure.
Sweat! Gargle? Old man, you use this water to rinse your mouth, and it won't take a month for your Cai Mansion to go bankrupt. Li Qi sneered: "Taishi, this-this is the phaseless. ”
"Phaseless."
Everyone was shocked.
Song Huizong said incredulously: "I gave you so many precious materials, and you made me a bowl of water?" ”
Please, are you giving it to me, you just let me help you do it, it's really easy to misunderstand. Li Qi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks it is more appropriate to describe it as clear soup. ”
"Is this soup?" Song Huizong was stunned.
Cai You suddenly said: "Economic envoy, this is clearly a bowl of water, you don't think we haven't seen soup, right?" ”
Wang Hao smiled: "Yes." The soup doesn't look like this. ”
Li Qi said solemnly: "Everyone, in fact, Wuxiang is a soup dish, but if it looks like other soups, then how can it be worthy of the title of Wuxiang." Phaselessness means that there is no color, no phase, no dust and no dirt. ”
Only then did Song Huizong believe that this--this is indeed the absence of phase. Looking forward to the stars and the moon, what he was looking forward to was a bowl of water, how could he accept it, saying that he was not disappointed, it must be false.
Cai Jing suddenly frowned, and said: "It is not easy to make a bowl of soup colorless, dust-free, and dust-free!" ”
"It's too much of a teacher!"
Li Qi smiled slightly, showing extreme modesty.
When Song Huizong heard it, he thought about it for a while, and felt that what Cai Jing said made sense, if it was a bowl of water, it would be very ordinary, but if it was a bowl of clear soup, it would be incredible, whether it was magical or not, it depended on what his essence was. asked: "Li Qi, what do you pay attention to this incompatible?" ”
Listening to Li Qi's reasoning before eating is already an indispensable link.
Li Qi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you remember the three dishes on the top beam of the Drunken Immortal Residence?" ”
Song Huizong nodded and said: "I naturally remember that the first way is boiling water and leaves, and the second way is Buddha jumping over the wall, and these three ways are this phaseless." ”
"What the emperor said is right." Li Qi arched his hand and said: "If these three dishes are connected together, it represents the three stages that a person must go through in his life. ”
"Oh? What do you mean by that? Song Huizong said curiously.
Li Qi said: "The first boiling water leaves, as if in the gestation of the phaseless, with buds to be released, must be carefully cared for, in the cooking of boiling water leaves, the last step is to use the soup to continue to water that small cabbage, this is like a gardener to water the flowers and trees, let it thrive, and like parents to educate their children to read and write, instill knowledge in them, hope that they become talents, so when tasting the boiling water leaves, give people a tender and moisturizing feeling, the key is in a tender word.
However, the second Buddha jumping over the wall, can be described as the youth of the phaseless, it has incomparable talent, sharp, arrogant, uninhibited, fragrant ten miles, for fear that no one knows, when the Buddha jumping over the wall of the altar cover, only with his fragrance can cover up other dishes, people fascinated, worship. There is a way to be young and frivolous, whether it is from the name of the dish or from the dish itself, it is really suitable to use madness to describe Buddha jumping over the wall.
But that doesn't mean that's when you're at your peak. Weichen thinks that a person, especially a man, should be at the peak of his forties, because at this time, whether it is physical, talent, spiritual, and experience, he has reached his peak, without the shyness of his childhood, no longer as young and frivolous as when he was young, and he is more restrained and humble, and can achieve the realm of freedom and release, although there is a furrow in the chest, but he does not let go, this is also the most attractive time for a man, and Wuxiang is exactly like this, it contains the best essence in the world without being exposed, clear as spring water, It is light and tasteless to see, but it can be endlessly aftertasted. In the novels written by Wei Chen, the highest level pursued by those martial arts people is to win without tricks, and the highest realm of cooking skills is to win with nothing. ”
After Li Qi's remarks, everyone was fascinated by what they heard.
It can be said that it is not tasted, but first tasted.
Even Wang Hao couldn't help but secretly praise, this kid's eloquence is beyond my reach, this sycophant is really beautiful, and it leaves no traces, which complements this incompatible.
Indeed, whether it is Ming Jun or Duan Jun, as long as they sit on the dragon chair, they will want to live forever and put it into action, although none of them succeeded, but this also shows a problem, that is, they all care about their age.
However, Song Huizong thought that he was not confused, of course he would envy a young man like Li Qi, but Li Qi's words completely subverted what he thought in his heart, making him feel that his peak had just begun, and it was too early to end.
Not only that, most of the people sitting here are middle-aged men, Li Qi and Cai Jing are two extremes, these people agree with Li Qi's words very much, and there is a feeling of sudden enlightenment and rebirth.
"Okay."
Song Huizong suddenly shouted yes, and said: "That's right, a good one has no tricks to win, even if this is really a bowl of water, it is also extremely delicious, this Wuxiang is indeed broad and profound." ”
Obviously, Richie's sycophant is in place.
The rest of the people nodded frequently, and the soup was already full of praise before they had even tasted it.
Li Qi bowed his head and said, "Thank you for the emperor's compliment." ”
Song Huizong Dayue laughed, raised the bowl and said, "You can taste this Wuxiang with me, right?" ”
"Yes."
They don't dare to eat ginseng fruit, it is the same as tasting wine, take a sip, but feel the warm clear liquid entrance, this taste has never been tasted before, making people feel very comfortable, can't help but raise their eyebrows, and drink a small sip again, only to feel that this clear soup taste like water, but the taste is very rich, sweet and sweet, sweet and salty, salty and fresh, very complicated, and then taste carefully, and feel like nature, as if this is water, the taste is not added by people, but the taste of the water itself, And the first smell only felt a faint fragrance, but as soon as it entered the mouth, the thick fragrance exploded, along the flow of blood throughout the body, refreshing people's hearts, making people feel that they were suddenly in the mountains and jungles, suddenly in the ocean, and suddenly in the white clouds, every drop of soup is challenging the limit of the tip of the tongue of the people seated, even if the fairy dew, it is also unreachable.
Everyone is immersed in this no-side, thoughts flickering far and near, flickering up and down, just like the old wine, the more mellow, the more surprising the more taste, the more obsessed, called the phaseless, but all-encompassing, seemingly plain, but delicious, suddenly feel that the dishes just tasted are light and tasteless, only this dish can be called a dish.
From no phase to life, taste the ups and downs, and the aftertaste is endless.
"wow!"
Bite after bite, and before you know it, the bottom of the bowl has been seen.
However, people are greedy, Song Huizong doesn't seem to have tasted enough, and he hasn't tasted the taste of unphased, so he broke off, he was particularly disappointed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up, give me another bowl." ”
Sweat! You really think it's water! Li Qi sneered: "Your Majesty, it's just this bowl, there is no more." ”
Song Huizong couldn't believe it: "With so many ingredients, just cook such a bowl?" ”
! You don't know how to count. Li Qi squeezed out a smile and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, it is actually one bowl per person, and there is also the queen's side, which has also sent a lot." ”
In ancient times, it was difficult for men and women to be in the same hall, even in the royal family, so the celebration banquet was generally held on both sides at the same time, and the wives of these high-ranking officials sitting now are on the queen's side, and the imperial dining room can only be in duplicate.
"It's-!"
Song Huizong sighed unsatisfactorily, and said with regret: "The taste of this phaselessness is so beautiful, and now I feel tasteless when I taste anything except for the phaseless, but it's a pity that it's too little." ”
Whoa, you're not going to let me do it, are you? Li Qi couldn't help but look surprised.
Wang Hao suddenly flattered: "If the emperor hasn't eaten it yet, just let the economic envoy do it again." ”
Depend on! You're really good enough. Li Qi was anxious to speak, and suddenly saw Cai Jing waving his hand and said: "It's not proper, it's not proper, the old minister thinks it's inappropriate, it is precisely because of this that he can appear to be noble, this dish is enough to taste once in a lifetime, and if you taste it again, it will be a bit more disgraceful." ”
Li Bangyan said with a smile: "The words of the master coincide with my Li Mou's thoughts, just this small bowl, at least it can be remembered for a lifetime, unforgettable, enough, enough." ”
Song Huizong didn't think about letting Li Qi do it again, he couldn't ignore the queen's feelings, so he hurriedly borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and haha: "Yes, this Wuxiang is really the rain and dew given to the world by God, and it is already a great honor to taste it once, and if you are too forceful, it will hurt the heavens." I wonder what you think of this non-appearance? ”
Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, this dish is relatively easy to make in the later generations, after all, the later generations are all mechanized, but in this year, the difficulty has really increased greatly. (To be continued.)
