Since Li Qi came to the Northern Song Dynasty, he gradually felt a little disgusted with cooking in the house, after all, there was no exhaust fan in these years, even if the vent was perfect, it was very smoky.

And the dish he wants to cook today has a lot of irritating ingredients, and if there is no exhaust fan, it is estimated that he will choke half to death, so he moved his work place from the kitchen to the open space.

In the clearing, in addition to Wu Xiaoliu and other cooks, there was also a mysterious person in a black robe, and this person was Yelu Guyi.

She has been in Beijing for some days, although she has never gone out, but she also learned from the servants in this manor that Li Qi was originally a cook, and he is also the famous golden knife chef, which can't help but make her feel very curious, to know that it is really rare for a chef to be a big official, so she also wanted to come and see Li Qi cooking.

"Hey, Sixth Brother, do you know that person?" A little cook quietly asked Wu Xiaoliu.

Wu Xiaoliu secretly glanced at Yelu who was standing motionless under the tree, shook his head and said, "I don't know." But it looks weird and scary. ”

"Yes, yes. What do you say is the relationship between him and Shigong? ”

"I don't know, but it looks like a woman."

The little cook said blankly, "So what? ”

"You're stupid, since you're a woman, of course you can't talk about it everywhere. Don't say that the master didn't sue you, your master is moody, if you offend him, then your life will be over. ”

As soon as the words fell, a chilling voice suddenly sounded behind Wu Xiaoliu, "Really? So why are you still standing here? ”

Wu Xiaoliu trembled, turned his head, and said to the expressionless Li Qi with a sneer: "Brother Li Li, are you ready?" ”

Smack.

Li Qi slapped Wu Xiaoliu and the little cook twice on the head, and said in a sullen voice: "I said that you two are really annoying, and you can't be quiet for a moment." ”

Wu Xiaoliu rubbed his head and cried: "Wronged." Brother Li, he asked me first. ”

Where does the little cook dare to make a noise, one is the master, the other is the master, and it is natural to carry the black pot.

"You still dare to talk back?"

Li Qi sneered, pointed to the left with his hand, and said, "Go, cut your fingers over there." ”

Wu Xiaoliu took a sharp breath of cold air, and shouted without waiting for Li Qi to finish speaking: "Brother Li, I know it's wrong." Don't cut off my fingers. ”

The rest of the little cooks saw that Li Qi was about to cut off people's fingers as soon as he opened his mouth, and their faces turned blue with fright.

Li Qi couldn't wait to kick it over, and said angrily: "What are you yelling at, I'm asking you to cut your nails, not your fingers, you idiot." ”

"Cut what? Fingernail? ”

Wu Xiaoliu was stunned for a moment, raised his hands, shook them in front of Li Qi, and said with tears in his eyes: "Brother Li." You see, I've cut it cleanly, and if I cut it now, I'll really have to cut my fingers. ”

Li Qi really had the urge to beat people, and closed his eyes. Holding back his anger, he said, "I asked you two to cut the nails of that plate of duck paws." ”

Whoosh.

Wu Xiaoliu and the little cook disappeared in front of Li Qi in an instant, Wu Xiaoliu saw Li Qidu like this, and knew that if he said one more word, it would be really over.

Li Qi sighed heavily. He clapped his palms and said, "Okay, let's get to work." ”

"Yes."

The crowd replied in unison.

Li Qi first put the star anise that had been prepared a long time ago. A total of 28 kinds of ingredients such as cinnamon, Sichuan pepper, dogwood, jataman, cumin, white cole, meat coar, sand kernel, bay leaf, male cloves, female cloves, ginger, citronella, licorice, etc., were handed over to them for simple processing.

And he himself is dealing with materials such as duck heads, duck necks, chicken skeletons, and bobbin bones.

Wu Xiaoliu sniffed a few times, and while cutting his nails, he said worriedly: "Brother Li, are you going to make marinade again?" ”

"Why do you ask that?"

"Oh, I see, these ingredients are similar to what you used to make stinky tofu."

"Huh. You've been looking closely, but I'm going to make three marinades today. ”

"Three?"

"Hmm. The characteristic of lo-mei is that it can change with the change of marinade, the taste can be diversified, and the way to eat it is quite simple, which is very suitable for selling in chain stores. ”

"Lo-mei? Brother Li, is there any difference between the lo-mei you make and what we usually eat? ”

"It depends on what kind of lo-mei you eat, if it is a century-old marinade concocted from the marinade, then I still can't compare to it." The implication is that the rest is not a problem.

"A hundred years of marinade, I haven't eaten it."

Li Qi smiled and didn't say much.

After he finished processing it, those disciples and grandchildren also processed all the spices.

He took out a small scale that he specially made zuò and began to measure, the so-called special small scale is only a few unconventional lines on the scale rod, except for him, no one can understand, he does this is nothing more than to keep it secret, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and what should be guarded against must be guarded.

He made three combinations of twenty-eight spices, each in a loose gauze bag, and tied the bag tightly with string. Then he began to boil the braised soup, he first boiled the chicken skeleton and the hammered pork tube bones in cold water until boiling, removed the blood foam, cleaned it with water, re-added water, put the broken old ginger, and left the green onion with a full length. After boiling, slowly boil over low heat.

Li Qi asked a little cook to control the heat and said, "You remember, boiling it over low heat is clear soup, and boiling it over a fierce fire is thick soup, so you must control the heat skillfully." ”

"Hmm. Remembered. ”

Li Qi nodded, took out the rock sugar powder that had been prepared long ago, put a little oil in the pot, put the rock sugar powder, and slowly fry it over medium heat, when the sugar turned from white to yellow, switch to low heat, gradually, the sugar oil began to be yellow and blistered, he quickly took the pot away from the fire and continued to fry, this step seems simple, in fact, it is not the case, what is particular is a fast word, otherwise it is easy to become bitter, if you want to master this ability, you have to go through repeated training. Put on the heat again and wait until the sugar oil turns from yellow to dark brown. When the big bubble becomes a small bubble, add a little cold water, and then fry it over low heat until it is pasty, that is, it is sugar color, this sugar color is golden in color, and it is not sweet or bitter to eat.

Then he first boiled the spice packets in boiling water alone for 5 minutes, then removed them and put them in the braised soup. One part is salted and an appropriate amount of sugar color, dogwood powder, and boiled over medium-low heat to make a brine embryo red brine, while the other part is without chili pepper and sugar color, which is called white brine.

As for the third package of spices, it is natural to make zuò yellow marinade, but Li Qi is not popular, he also adds five kinds of cooking wine that he has made himself, and mixes them together.

The red, white and yellow marinades are baked at the same time, and the fragrance is overflowing. The three scents fused together, covering the entire backyard in an instant, and even Yelu Gu, who was standing under the tree and watching from afar, couldn't help but move his index fingers.

Some of the people who passed by couldn't help but stop and twitch their noses a few times.

At this moment, a servant came over and said respectfully: "Master Li, Fan Gongzi and the shopkeeper of the chain store have already arrived." ”

Li Qi snorted and said, "Let them wait a little longer." ”

"Yes."

As soon as the servant left, Wu Xiaoliu hurriedly came over. Curious: "Brother Li, what are they doing here?" ”

"Try it, of course."

Wu Xiaoliu pouted and said, "They should be careful, Brother Li, can you make poor dishes." ”

Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "I called them here." Luckily, you're a kid who learns to cook. If you were to go into business, you wouldn't even have pants to wear. ”

Wu Xiaoliu stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to say more.

And then there's this final step, marinating. This step was very simple, Li Qi first asked them to put the duck neck, duck paws, and duck head into the boiling water to blanch. Drain and add to each of the three boiling brine and boil for a while. Pulled out the firewood and soaked it for more than half an hour.

"Alright. Well? What do you do? ”

Li Qi suddenly found that the group of disciples and grandchildren were all looking at the pot with their eyes staring at the pot, and swallowed their saliva vigorously in their stomachs.

Wu Xiaoliu swallowed his saliva and said, "Brother Li, can you eat it?" ”

"We'll have to wait a while."

Li Qi instructed them to take out all the duck paws and put them in a large basin, but they saw that the duck paws were already golden yellow, and the duck head was golden red, and the long duck neck was jujube red, and the fragrance was pleasant, and the end was beautiful and attractive.

Syllable.

Li Qi mercilessly slapped Wu Xiaoliu's ghost hand away, and said unhappily: "Why are you still so anxious, wait a while, the taste is the best when it is air-dried." ”

Wu Xiaoliu rubbed the back of his hands, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I'll wait for them to dry." His eyes were still fixed on the duck's head.

After a while, Li Qi came out with a pot and said, "Don't rob it, everyone has a share." ”

These words were still falling, Li Qi only felt that there was an empty basin left in front of him, which couldn't help but remind him of the scene in Uncle Tang's autumn incense. Shaking his head helplessly, he instructed a few servants to carry the rest to the front hall, while he himself walked under the tree with a saucer, and smiled at the fǎngfo who had already petrified Yelu Guyu: "Aren't you bored?" ”

Jerugu shook his head.

"Then you can say a word, if I'm not mistaken, you said three words today, well, oh, okay."

Yelu was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "What did the deputy marshal ask me to say?" ”

Depend on! Li Qi sighed, handed her the plate, and said, "I can't speak, can I eat?" ”

Yelu sneered, took the plate, and smiled, "Thank you." ”

"That's the fifth sentence." Li Qi smiled bitterly and said, "You eat first, I'll go to the front hall for some business, and I'll come back later." ”

Jerubone nodded.

After Li Qi left, Yelu Gu wanted to pick up a duck neck on the plate and put it in his mouth and bite it gently, was stunned for a moment, nodded again, and ate quietly.

"Tut-tut, this duck head is really delicious, I didn't eat it before, it's a pity."

"You can't say that, whether the duck head is delicious or not depends on who made it, but this is made by the master, can it be the same."

"Yes, yes, yes.".

When he came to the front hall, before Li Qi entered the door, he heard a sound of tsk from inside, and when he went in, he was startled by the scene in front of him, only to see that the shopkeepers were holding a duck's palm in one hand, a duck's head in the other, or a duck's neck, and their mouths were full of oil.

Those who eat the duck neck marinated in red brine are spicy and panting, their faces are flushed, and they are sweating profusely, but they still eat with relish.

"Master Li."

When everyone saw Li Qi coming, they hurriedly got up, but because they were holding duck paws and duck necks in both hands, it was not easy to salute.

Li Qi snorted and said with a smile: "Everyone, how about these three dishes?" ”

Fan Shaobai ha: "The Golden Knife Chef King made, naturally there is nothing to say, just say this duck palm, the color is beautiful, the skin is soft and the meat is crispy, it is chewy, the taste is rich and mellow, and it tastes very interesting, it is really good." ”

Another shopkeeper ha: "This duck neck is not bad, the taste is spicy, very chewy, the spicier it is, the more I want to eat it, the more I eat it, the more spicy it is, it's really happy." ”

"No, no, no, if you want me to say, the most wonderful thing is on this duck head, usually we eat ducks, and the head is generally not eaten, but Master Li's duck head can really be said to turn decay into magic, just look at it is a big appetite, and not only does not have a trace of fishy smell, but the taste is mellow, especially the skin on the top of this head, delicate and refreshing, it is really amazing."

Everyone nodded their heads frequently and applauded.

Li Qi smiled slightly and said, "Then do you think it's feasible to put these in chain stores to sell?" ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they were overjoyed and shouted, "Okay." Absolutely. ”

"I don't know if Master Li is ready to put these in our store for a long time."

"Yes, yes, we've been ready for a long time."

Li Qi pressed his hand and said, "Don't be impatient, this is only a part, there will be more varieties in the future, and the price is cheap, but it is estimated that it will take a few days." ”

When everyone heard this, they were a little disappointed, but their confidence was doubled.

At this moment, a girl suddenly stumbled into outside, it was Bai Qiannuo's personal maid Xing'er, Xing'er gasped slightly: "Gongzi Li, Sister Qi'er asked you to go to the group company immediately." (To be continued......)
