didn't dare to let Li Longji wait for a long time, Xiao Quzhi almost operated two or three iron pots at the same time, and within five minutes after Li Longji and the four Yang sisters sat down, Xiao Quzhi and several palace maids and eunuchs came to the main hall with these eight dishes.

As soon as the seven stir-fried dishes with all colors and aromas were served, the unique fragrance of the hot oil stir-fry immediately attracted everyone's attention, and Xiao Quzhi couldn't help but lick her lips quietly when she saw Yang Guifei.

"Let Your Majesty and Niangniang wait for a long time, please forgive me!" Xiao Quzhi put the peony fish fillet in his hand in front of Yang Guifei and saluted the two.

This dinner party was actually by Yang Guifei Zhang Luo, and when she heard that Xiao Qu was assassinated on the street, she was slightly worried. Later, when she heard the personal palace maid report that Xiao Qu's illness seemed to be a different person, her expression was haggard and her eyes were gloomy, so she wanted to help Xiao Qu's illness. After thinking about it for a long time, I came up with a special way to set up a banquet to entertain Xiao Quai, and Li Longji and other ministers said: I am close to the Hou of Shouchang County, you should not bully him.

At this time, Yang Guifei saw that Xiao Qu's illness was radiant, her two eyes re-emitted light, and her heart also fell to the ground. I heard that Xiao Qu was sick and went to the imperial dining room to make a few dishes to present to the emperor and himself, and it was too late to be happy, where would he blame him for waiting for a while.

"Shouchang County Hou hurry up and be exempt, this is a family banquet without so many rules, sit down." Yang Guifei asked with some excitement: "I didn't expect you to cook dishes, are these all made by yourself?" ”

Li Longji was also a little curious: "It is said that the gentleman is far away from cooking, how can you cook?" ”

Xiao Quzhi came to his place and sat down, nodded and said, "Your Majesty, Niang Niang thinks, the minister and the master live alone on the mountain, there must be one person who can cook, or what do you eat every day?" At first, it was the master who made it for the ministers, and after the ministers were thirteen years old, it was always my ministers who cooked. ”

The two nodded in agreement, wondering how they hadn't thought of this layer. No, there is always one of the two people who has to cook. I didn't think about it here, I thought that his master was really a fairy, and he ate and drank dew every day, but he was also a person and needed to eat.

Thinking about this, Yang Guifei smiled, pointed to her three sisters on the side and introduced to Xiao Quai: "Let me introduce you, this is my eldest sister Mrs. Han, this is the third sister Mrs. Qiuguo, and this is the eighth sister Mrs. Qin Guo." ”

Xiao Quzhi bowed down to the three of them in turn, but he didn't dare to offend these three people. In fact, among all the people in the Yang family, Yang Guifei is okay, she is more delicate and simple-minded, she only accompanies Li Longji in the palace, and at the same time is obsessed with her dance art, and she does not participate in anything. On the contrary, the people of the Yang family, who gained power because of her, were very arrogant, especially her three sisters, who were simply arrogant.

Only villains and women are difficult to raise, not all women, in fact, it refers to these three Mrs. Guo, who are arrogant and narrow-minded little women who will be revenged. They can directly meet with Li Longji to complain, and if they offend them, just wait to be uncomfortable.

After the salute, Xiao Quzhi said apologetically: "I didn't know that the three ladies of the country would arrive, I didn't prepare a gift, forgive my sins, and let me make up for it tomorrow." ”

Hearing that there were also gifts, the three ladies were very happy, and said that they didn't expect this kid to be quite sensible. They didn't know that in fact, Xiao Qu was also saying in his heart at this time, fortunately, I remember that the book said that you are all misers, insatiable. Li Longji had 100 grandchildren living in Baisunyuan, and these three Mrs. Guo forcibly introduced Li Longji's grandsons to each other, and then asked for bribes.

After the introduction, Yang Guifei said again: "Shouchang County Hou, quickly introduce us to your eight dishes, I smell very fragrant, and the dish in front of me is still very good-looking, like a peony flower." ”

Xiao Quzhi hurriedly introduced: "Hui Niangniang's dish is called peony fish fillet, the method is to first cut the fish into thin fillets, season it with green onion and white ginger, as well as orange juice and salt cooking wine, and then sprinkle dry flour on both sides, fry it twice in the oil pot, and then put it on the plate, which is the master and the minister when he was seventeen years old." ”

After a pause, Xiao Quzhi thought that the emperor usually had to try the dishes first, and as a chef, he also had the rule of eating the first bite first. So he said: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, this dish has not been made by the minister for more than a year, let the minister see if the taste has changed." ”

After saying that, I picked up the chopsticks and put a slice in my mouth, well, although it was done in a hurry, it tasted good. Xiao Quzhi said with a smile: "The taste has not changed, it is similar to when I was on the mountain, Your Majesty, Niangniang and the three ladies of the country, please try it." ”

Yang Guifei immediately picked up a slice and put it in her mouth, chewed it carefully, and then her eyes began to glow, and she couldn't help but say: "It's really delicious, fragrant and crispy, with an endless aftertaste, and this fish fillet is cut so thinly." Your Majesty, you taste it. ”

Li Longji and the three ladies of the country also sandwiched a slice to eat, and they were also full of praise. Taste the delicious food all over the world, who can compare to Li Longji, but today's peony fish fillet is crispy like never before, and it is not that he is tired of eating the fragrance of nutmeg and pepper, but the fragrance of the fish, which makes him have an endless aftertaste, and he wants to take a second bite after eating it.

"General Gao, you can eat too, try the boy's craftsmanship." Xiao Quzhi respectfully sandwiched a piece of the plate in front of Gao Lishi: "The kid also wants to thank General Gao for sending someone to teach me, otherwise the kid will oversleep." ”

Gao Lishi smiled and said, "Your injury, just sleep and be all right?" ”

Xiao Qu said: "It should be almost fine, the wound has healed." Thank you General Gao for your concern. ”

After eating the eight dishes one by one, each dish was something they had never eaten, and it was full of color, flavor, and flavor, and they were addicted to it. Especially when they knew that these eight dishes were all ordinary ingredients, and only ordinary spices such as pepper, cumin and Sichuan pepper were put in, and they did not put a little nutmeg cloves and other expensive high-grade spices, they all sighed that Xiao Quai's illness was worthy of the immortal disciples, and even the way of cooking was far beyond ordinary people.

Xiao Quzhi thought to himself that his cooking skills could only be regarded as above average, and he must be much worse than those professional chefs in the imperial dining room. The reason why they can make delicious dishes that they can't make is actually just stained with their own light from the afterlife.

In fact, human beings have never lacked wisdom and hands-on ability, but they are limited by the thinking of the times, and have the inertia of thinking and habits, and it is difficult to pierce that layer of window paper. Like cooking, the chefs of these imperial dining rooms used to only know how to cook and stew, either steam or grill. Because this is passed down from more ancient antiquity, they have inherited it all the way, and there is path dependence.

They don't know that most ingredients cooked in hot oil bring out strong aromas. Now that they have the secret, it won't be long before they can make dishes that taste better than their own.

For example, when he first arrived in Anxi, Xiao Quzhi found that most of the books in the Tang Dynasty were scrolls one by one, like painting scrolls, which was very inconvenient to store or view. So why hasn't there been a boxy thread-bound book like Hyundai for so many years?

To put it bluntly, this is also path dependence. Because at the beginning, the common book of Chinese was bamboo slips, and bamboo sticks were rolled up together and looked vertically from top to bottom. Later, paper was invented, but in the inertia of people's thinking, books were still rolled up. So I just used paper instead of bamboo sticks, but the book was still the same as before, rolled up like a bamboo slip. It wasn't until the Song Dynasty that the thread-bound books were slowly added again, but the writing habit was still written vertically, from right to left, the same as bamboo slips.

However, because of this, the traverser has a huge advantage, although in many aspects the IQ and ability are similar to the ancients, and there are even examples, but there is no such limitation of thinking, and many concepts and technologies are many years ahead of this era. If it is used well, it will naturally be unfavorable.

Xiao Quzhi is thinking now that he can train a group of chefs who can cook stir-fried dishes and open chain restaurants in various parts of Datang, which will definitely be very profitable at that time. Xiao Quzhi thought so, and then he said his plan.

"What, you want to open a restaurant?" Li Longji said in surprise. He felt that Xiao Quai's illness was not doing his job properly and he had lowered his identity. He didn't understand, very much.

PS: There may be another chapter, but maybe it's going to be late, maybe tomorrow morning. Recently, there have been a lot of things at home, and I thought I would have time during the day today, but I still have something to go out. And then at night it was written slowly.
