Back in the room, after Li Qi put the silver away, he climbed into bed without washing his face or taking off his shoes, thinking hard about how he should use the one hundred taels, but as he thought about it, he turned his mind to drunkenness.
He went up to Xianju and said distressedly: "Zuixianju, Zuixianju, if you fall into my hands, I will make you famous all over the world. I will step aside for Jade Pavilion and Fan Tower."
Having said that, if Li Qi had not traveled through time, he would probably be the top decision-maker of that super five-star hotel now. So after much thought, he still felt that the restaurant business was the most suitable for him. In addition to this, he also
I don't know what else I can do.
Although he is a top student from Tsinghua University, he studied finance at university. There is not even a listed company here, and he still raised a p!
Moreover, the current situation of Zuixianju just gave him such an opportunity, but he did not have enough capital yet, and this was not a small sum. It was not easy to make so much money in a short period of time.
!I had been thinking wildly for a while, and felt particularly depressed. I fell asleep unconsciously while lying on the bed.
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
Li Qi rubbed his eyes, sat up and stretched.
Wu Xiaoliu's voice came from outside the door, "Brother Li, it's me, Liu Zi, so you are in the house."
Xiao Liuzi? Li Qi glanced out the window and saw that it was already dark. He had fallen into a drowsy sleep at this hour. He stood up and opened the door. He saw Wu Xiaoliu standing at the door with a flattering smile on his face. He said curiously: "Liu Zi
,What do you find me for?"
Wu Xiaoliu smiled and said: "Brother Li, I'm here to ask you to eat."
Li Qi didn't feel hungry at first, but after hearing what Wu Xiaoliu said, he felt a little hungry. But when he thought of Master Zhou's cooking skills, his stomach twitched several times in a row, and he asked in a low voice: "Is Master Zhou here?
?”
Wu Xiaoliu smiled and said: "If Master Zhou is here, how dare I call you? Isn't this intentional to harm you? Don't worry, Master Zhou has already moved his things back home in the morning."
Now that Mrs. Qin has decided to sell the store, Master Zhou can be considered retired and can finally go home to take care of himself.
Hey! I didn’t expect this guy to be quite loyal.
Li Qi laughed and said curiously: "By the way, since Master Zhou is not here, who cooked the food? Could it be Uncle Wu? No, Uncle Wu clearly said last night that he would go back to his residence for the next few days and would not come back.
.”
Wu Xiaoliu rubbed his hands and said shyly: "To be honest with Brother Li, it was my younger brother who did it."
"Did you cook it?" Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "I didn't expect you could cook." But he was thinking in his heart, this guy can't cook the same food as Master Zhou, right?
Wu Xiaoliu chuckled and said, "I secretly learned a few tricks from Master Zhou before."
Sweating! I knew it was like this.
Li Qi rolled his eyes and felt like crying but had no tears!
But no matter what, this was Wu Xiaoliu's kindness after all. Li Qi couldn't refuse it. With a worried heart, he followed Wu Xiaoliu to his room and saw a small table on the bed.
On the table, there is a bowl of pickled fish.
"Just a bowl of food?" Li Qi wondered, this guy must have been extravagant. He asked me to come for dinner, so he just served me a piece of pickled fish.
"Brother Li, don't underestimate this dish. It took me a month to make it." Seeing that Boss Li Qi was unhappy, Wu Xiaoliu hurriedly explained.
Nani? It only took a month to cook such a dish. Isn't this too inefficient? Li Qi glanced at Wu Xiaoliu suspiciously, but seeing his confident look, he sat down doubtfully.
Up.
Wu Xiaoliu quickly handed the chopsticks to Li Qi and greeted with expectant eyes: "Brother Li, try it quickly."
Seeing his nervous and excited look, Li Qi took the chopsticks but was not in a hurry to move them. He smiled and said: "Liu Zi, you specially asked me to come here today. It's not just as simple as eating, you specially asked me to come here."
Are you trying the food?"
Wu Xiaoliu lowered his head and said with a blushing face: "Brother Li, you have already seen it."
"Nonsense, you asked me to come for dinner, but I don't even have a bowl of rice. You don't expect this fish to fill my stomach." Li Qi rolled his eyes at Wu Xiaoliu and scolded with a smile.
Wu Xiaoliu stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "Brother Li, you try this fish first, and I will help you get a meal later."
Seeing his impatient look, Li Qi didn't deliberately embarrass him anymore. He picked up a handful of fish and put it in his mouth. He chewed it a few times and suddenly frowned slightly.
This frightened Wu Xiaoliu, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Brother Li, isn't this fish to your taste?"
Li Qi glanced at Wu Xiaoliu and saw that he was nervous and sweating profusely. He suddenly smiled and nodded: "Not bad, not bad. It's delicious. I didn't expect you to have such skills. It's rare, rare."
"Really--really, Brother Li, you didn't lie to me, did you?" Wu Xiaoliu opened his eyes wide and shouted in surprise.
Li Qi nodded and said with a smile: "I don't have that spare time. The taste of this fish is indeed very good, but the control of the heat is a little bad. But it is not easy for you to make it like this at such a young age.
Yes, it's just that--just this way of making fish--I'm afraid you didn't come up with it yourself."
Wu Xiaoliu said with admiration on his face: "Brother Li, you are so amazing, you can taste it."
Li Qi said angrily: "Nonsense, if you could figure it out, you would have been a chef long ago."
Wu Xiaoliu said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, the name of this dish is 'Huadiao Zui'. It was once the signature dish of our Zuixianju. Hey, I also learned it secretly from Master Zhou."
"Huadiao drunk?"
Li Qi nodded and said, "Well, that name sounds pretty nice."
"It sounds good," Wu Xiaoliu smiled sillyly and asked, "By the way, Brother Li, can you taste what ingredients are put in this fish?"
Li Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you testing me?"
Wu Xiaoliu chuckled and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare."
How could Li Qi not see Wu Xiaoliu's thoughts? He smiled slightly, picked up a handful of chopsticks and put it in his mouth. After chewing it carefully, he said: "Ginger, bay leaves, grass."
Fruit, chives, fresh mushrooms." At this point, Li Qi picked up a small piece of fish and tasted it, then continued: "Black fungus, star anise, cinnamon, river shrimp, how about it? I'm not wrong, right?"
Wu Xiaoliu opened his mouth wide and said in surprise: "You--you know so much?"
Li Qi chuckled and said: "For a chef, taste is very important, because you must first learn to taste food. If you are not sure how the food you cook tastes, then how can you dare?
Serve it out to the guests."
"Yes, yes." Wu Xiaoliu nodded hurriedly, and suddenly smiled: "But Brother Li, you still have two ingredients that you haven't tasted yet."
Li Qi frowned and said, "I know."
"You know?" Wu Xiaoliu said in shock.
Li Qi said "hmm" and said lightly: "It's the aroma of wine and bamboo, but the aroma of wine is very rich and pure. It doesn't seem to be added, but like it comes from the fish itself."
"Hehe, Brother Li, to tell you the truth, this is the subtlety of this 'Huadiao Zui'. It's no wonder you can't taste it." Wu Xiaoliu said with a proud smile.
"Yeah?"
Seeing the coquettish look on Wu Xiaoliu's face, Li Qi smiled slightly and said: "If I guessed correctly, you should have put this fish in Huadiao wine for a long time before starting to pickle it.
And it is marinated in fresh bamboo tubes, so that the fragrance of the bamboo can be used to cover up the fishy smell of the fish itself."
After Li Qi finished speaking, Wu Xiaoliu became stunned. After a while, he finally woke up and asked hurriedly: "Brother Li, where did you know that? Have you done this before?"
Dish?"
Li Qi chuckled and said, "You told me."
"Me?" Wu Xiaoliu pointed at his nose and asked in surprise.
Li Qi nodded and said: "Yes, you said earlier that you spent a month preparing this dish, but judging from the taste of this fish, it doesn't look like it has been marinated for a month, so I thought you were preparing it."
Before pickling, the fish should be raised in wine for a period of time, so that the fish meat will have a strong aroma of wine."
At this time, Wu Xiaoliu was completely speechless, and all that was left was his admiration for Li Qi. To paraphrase the old saying, his admiration for Li Qi at this time was like the endless stream of a torrential river, or like the overflowing of the Yellow River.
out of hand.
"Brother Li, you are so amazing!" Wu Xiaoliu exclaimed.
Li Qi smiled lightly and said, "It's just a coincidence."
"Brother Li, you are too humble. This is not a coincidence. If anyone could guess the recipe of "Huadiao Zui" after trying it, then Cai Yuanwai of Jade Cuisine House would not be willing to spend a thousand guan.
Come buy this secret recipe of 'Huadiao Zui'." Wu Xiaoliu said, holding out a finger.
With a "pop" sound, the chopsticks in Li Qi's hand fell on the table.
