Chapter 180: First Birthday Banquet (4)
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Is there any mistake, today's theme is food, why did you get involved with this painting again, boss, you are off topic.
Li Qi was depressed in his heart, and said with a sneer: "Your Majesty, now the dishes are ready, otherwise, let's finish eating first, and then paint." ”
He wanted to use food to divert everyone's attention, and later, everyone was immersed in the food, who will remember this painting.
It's a pity that Li Qi didn't know that for Song Huizong, calligraphy and painting strange stones are his favorites, beauty is second, and food is third. ”
Cai Jing gave Li Qi a look and told him not to say more.
Li Qi naturally understood the meaning of Cai Jing's first birthday banquet (4) in Chapter 180, nodded and said, "Okay, but if the grass people don't draw well, I hope the emperor will forgive me." ”
A smile appeared at the corner of Song Huizong's mouth, and he said, "I have already said that if you don't draw well, it will be the crime of bullying the king." ”
Day. You're ruthless!
Li Qi cursed Song Huizong's whole family in his heart. He also knew that it would be impossible not to paint today, so he first asked people to bring the materials he needed, and then asked Song Huizong with a blank face: "Your Majesty, what am I painting?" ”
He thought that Song Huizong would be his model himself, but Song Huizong thought about it for a while, and suddenly turned his head to a cadre of courtiers and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, which of you is willing to come out to help Li Qi." ”
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and then understood that this faint gentleman wanted to learn this kind of painting. If he were a model, he wouldn't be able to look at his own drawings.
The courtiers were all stunned, and then looked at each other, all of them were silent, in fact, they all wanted to come forward to give it a try, but none of them wanted to take it lightly, in case this move offended a cadre of favored ministers like Wang Huang and Li Bangyan. That's more than worth the loss.
Li Qi glanced at everyone's expressions and thought to himself, if it was a sketch. Help this draw, that too, then Lao Tzu is not busy to death. His eyes rolled to Chapter 180 The First Birthday Banquet (4), and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, today is a day of celebration, or I will paint another interesting painting, so that the emperor and all the adults can have fun, and this painting does not need the help of others." ”
"Interesting paintings?"
Song Huizong glanced at him and said with interest: "That's okay, you can draw it quickly." ”
Li Qi bowed to Song Huizong, then sat down on a chair and picked up the drawing board. I closed my eyes and thought for a while, then I picked up the charcoal pen and quickly drew on the paper.
Song Huizong and a group of courtiers stood behind him and watched carefully.
Li Qi was sitting alone in the audience. This kind of treatment is really rare.
In terms of drawing, Li Qi is nothing more than two kinds, one is sketching, and the other is comics, obviously. He's drawing comics again this time, after all, it's too hard to draw a sketch, and he can't afford to mess with any of them, if the drawing is not good, then it's really worth the loss, or the comics are good, do whatever you want, and no one here has ever seen a comic, and it's easier to fool.
After a while, everyone's expressions changed from shock to laughter.
After half a ring, Li Qi let out a long breath and habitually said, "It's done." Then he turned his head and saw that everyone was stunned. Hurriedly shouted in a low voice: "Emperor, Emperor." ”
Song Huizong was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said, "Quickly bring it to me to see." ”
Li Qi handed the painting with both hands.
Song Huizong took a look, but saw that the painting was the scene at the banquet, and several villains in it had very exaggerated expressions, making people laugh, he looked at it for a while, and suddenly laughed, pointing to one of them with a golden crown, standing on the crescent moon, arrogantly holding a huge wine glass high, and asked with a smile: "Isn't this just me?" ”
Li Qi said: "The emperor is really good eyesight, you can see it at a glance." ”
Song Huizong stroked his beard and asked curiously: "But why did you draw me on the moon?" ”
Li Qi hurriedly replied: "Oh, this idea is from one of the sentences of Li Taibai's "Drinking Alone Under the Moon" in the Tang Dynasty, raise a glass to invite the bright moon. It's just that I think the emperor is the honor of the Ninety-Five, how can the sun and the moon compete with the emperor, so the grass people painted the emperor on the moon, Li Taibai is under the moon to drink alone, and the emperor is stepping on the bright moon, and my Great Song Dynasty subjects celebrate with the whole world, why should the bright moon be invited, it is just the emperor's car. ”
After these words, everyone was stupid, this cook, really exquisite, clever tongue, this small painting, can tell him so many truths, convinced.
That Wang Hao couldn't help but give Li Qi a thumbs up, he has always lived by patting sycophants, and he has won the essence of sycophants, but Li Qi's sycophants are simply perfect, so perfect that he is embarrassed.
That Gao Yanei was also excited when he heard it, and secretly thought, how can this Li Qi speak, I have to find an opportunity to learn from him.
With a smile on his face, Gao Yu stood next to Cai Jing and whispered, "Congratulations to Taishi for being so talented again." ”
Cai Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Taiwei doesn't know, this is just one side of this kid, if you let him go to your house to be a cook, you will know how powerful he is." ”
Gao Yu looked at Cai Jing in surprise.
Cai Jing laughed and said nothing, thinking to himself, if this kid doesn't even give you a piece of meat to eat, you will know that he is not easy to mess with.
"Good. Why should you be invited to a bright moon, and celebrate with the whole world. ”
Song Huizong listened, and when he was happy, he laughed proudly.
Seeing this, all the ministers knelt down in unison and shouted, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
I'm so talented. Li Qi smiled secretly in his heart, the nervous mood just now has long been gone.
Song Huizong waved his hand and said, "Zhong Aiqing is flat." ”
"Long live thanks."
The crowd stood up again.
Song Huizong smiled with his hand, put his attention on the painting again, and suddenly pointed to a villain who looked up at the moon with a pair of big tearful eyes, and fanned the moon with a banana fan in his hand, and said, "This person is Liang Aiqing." As he spoke, he glanced at the middle-aged man beside him again.
Liang Aiqing? Isn't it the big eunuch, Liang Shicheng? Depend on! It's so honest. Not to mention, I really can't see that he is a big traitor, it seems that people are really unseemly.
This person can't be offended, it seems that Cai Jing's father and son have to pat his ass, Li Qi was shocked, and thought to himself, fortunately, he didn't miss him. With a thought, he hurriedly said, "Not bad." This is Lord Liang, and the grass people heard that Lord Liang has been accompanying the emperor and sharing worries for the emperor. The grass people are just a small trick to express Lord Liang's loyalty to the king. ”
He actually wanted to paint Liang Shicheng as a clown with a whisker, but now that he knows that this person is Liang Shicheng. Of course you can't say that.
Not to mention, this sycophant shot is just right.
When Song Huizong heard him say this, he understood the meaning of the painting, nodded slightly, hummed, and said, "You are right, Liang Aiqing is indeed a rare loyal minister." ”
Liang Shicheng hurriedly saluted and said: "Being able to share the emperor's worries is a blessing from the emperor to the villain." As he spoke, he gave Li Qi two approving glances.
It seems that it is much easier to deal with traitors than with loyal ministers.
Li Qi secretly laughed in his heart.
After Song Huizong let Liang Shicheng get up. pointed to a villain who was dragging a long beard and writing on the ground, and laughed: "This must be Cai Aiqing." As he spoke, he quipped to Cai Jing again: "It's a pity that Aiqing's beard is not long enough, otherwise you can really try." ”
Cai Jing smiled strangely: "What Your Majesty said is true." As he spoke, he glared at Li Qi covertly.
Li Qi naturally didn't see it, thinking that this was what the emperor said, not me. What are you staring at me for?
Song Huizong pointed to one of the villains lying on the table again, crossed Erlang's legs, toes, and a big ball spinning rapidly on his toes, glanced at Gao Yu and said, "Gao Aiqing, do you have this ability?" ”
Gao Yu shook his head with a wry smile. said: "The emperor smiled, but Weichen can't do it." ”
Song Huizong smiled and praised Li Qi: "Li Qi, you kid really have some skills, and the charm of me, a minister of the Manchu Dynasty, has been caught by you, not bad." ”
Li Qi smiled and said, "The emperor has won the award." ”
In fact, the people painted by Li Qi are painted according to the character of the people he is familiar with, such as Zhao Kai, a handsome guy surrounded by a group of beautiful women, and Li Bangyan, who sits on a tree to eat, and Wang Huang, who is arrogant, but he paints some high-powered ministers, even the son who stood with Zhao Kai, he also painted it, he knew that this person must also be the son of Song Huizong, so he didn't dare to slack off, a bowl of water was even.
Later, after listening to what Song Huizong said, I realized that this son, who didn't like to make a sound, turned out to be the crown prince Zhao Heng, the future Song Qinzong.
Li Qi was shocked when he heard this, and he was secretly glad in his heart.
This small painting made everyone laugh.
Song Huizong is also very good, almost everyone is recognized, but the last one, lying on the lotus leaf floating in the pond, with a big belly, holding a chicken leg bigger than others in one hand, and touching the round belly of the villain with the other, looking like he is enjoying it. Song Huizong looked at it for a while, but still didn't recognize it, so he asked Li Qi, "Li Qi, who is this person?" ”
When Li Qi saw it, he couldn't help laughing out loud and said, "This is Gao Yanei." ”
When Gao Yanei heard this, his face was so excited, he poked his head over, smirked vigorously, and said, "This person is so cute." ”
When they heard this, they burst out laughing.
Gao Yu also shook his head with a smile, he felt helpless about this living treasure son!
But there is one person with a gloomy face, and this person is Wang Xuanen, the son of Wang Hao.
Li Qi glanced at him inadvertently, paused, and then understood, secretly depressed in his heart, damn it, he actually forgot about this guy, it seems that he will have to guard against this kid in the future.
Song Huizong reluctantly glanced at the painting again, and then handed it to Liang Shicheng casually, asking him to keep it, obviously, he wanted this painting, and then he picked up the charcoal pen and looked at it, just now because Li Qi painted it too fast, even if he was super talented, he still hadn't mastered the trick, and said: "This painting method, is it really your own creation?" ”
Li Qi said: "How dare the grass people deceive the emperor. ”
Song Huizong nodded, and then smiled: "Okay, I've seen your painting skills, and it's time to try the food you make, otherwise I really forgot that you are a cook." ”
I'll go, and I'm finally down to business.
After Song Huizong and several important ministers took their seats, Li Qi immediately gave Xiaoyu a look and motioned for her to ask the maids to serve the food.
I saw one after another maidservants carrying a plate of dishes of different shapes and colors, circling the field.
In fact, the samples brought out by these maidservants give guests an impression of each dish.
After a while, twenty cold dishes have all been completed.
However, everyone still had a wooden expression, which twenty cold dishes they had just walked through, they had never seen a single one, these ministers, one day they did not eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but now more than 20 dishes that had never been seen before suddenly appeared, and they couldn't accept it in their hearts.
But Song Huizong and Cai Jing's father and son were already used to it, so they didn't care too much.
Every time the maid walks by with a plate of dishes, there is a cook who brings the corresponding dishes and puts them in the designated position, in fact, this is also very particular, for example, it is best not to put cold dishes with hot dishes, and Li Qi considers not only the color, aroma and shape of each dish, but also the entire layout, the color matching between dishes, in order to achieve the overall beauty.
Everyone looked at it, and the long table, which was still empty, was now full of dazzling, beautiful, and tempting!
Song Huizong saw that no dishes were served for a long time, and those people all put the dishes on the round table and the long table in front of them, so he couldn't help but feel a little curious, and asked, "Li Qi, you put all the dishes there, how do you want me to eat them?" ”
Before Li Qi could speak, Cai Qian volunteered to tell Song Huizong about the characteristics of this buffet banquet, and he naturally would not let go of this opportunity to show his face, of course, Li Qi also added a few words.
Song Huizong listened, smiled, got up and said, "This buffet banquet sounds quite interesting, I also want to try it myself." So saying, he came down the steps, and the people hurried after him.
"Richie, come here." As soon as Song Huizong came, he beckoned to Li Qi.
Li Qi hurriedly walked over and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what to order?" ”
Song Huizong smiled and asked, "What should I do now?" ”
Sweat! That's it.
"Your Majesty, in fact, the way to eat this buffet banquet is very simple."
As he spoke, Li Qi placed the tableware on the head of the long table and said, "Your Majesty, please take a plate here first." ”
Liang Shicheng on the side heard this, and was just about to step forward to help Song Huizong get a plate, but Song Huizong stopped him and said, "No need, I want to try it myself." So saying, he walked over, took a plate, and asked Richie, "What now?" ”
Li Qi smiled: "Your Majesty, whatever dish you want to eat, just use the iron tongs or spoon to put the dishes on the plate, and then eat them with a small fork, but your Majesty will try to eat less of each dish, because there are more than 20 dishes behind." ”
"More than twenty?"
Song Huizong was taken aback, and said with a smile: "Interesting, interesting." ”
As he spoke, he walked around the long table, and suddenly saw a square iron pot containing a pot of red and bright things, like a soup-like dish, and asked curiously: "Li Qi, what kind of soup is this?" ”
Broth? What eyes!
Li Qi introduced: "Your Majesty, this dish is called double milk skin, which is extracted from milk. ”
"Milk?"
Song Huizong glanced at him and said, "Isn't the milk white?" ”
Sweat! Li Qi explained: "Your Majesty, all you see is the layer of red bean paste on the top, and the milk skin on the bottom is white. ”
"I see."
Song Huizong nodded, picked up the spoon on the side, scraped a small spoon and put it in the bowl, but saw that the white and tender milk skin under the red bean paste trembled slightly, it was too tempting, and the ministers behind were drooling, if it weren't for Song Huizong here, they would have pounced on it. rq
