He is worthy of being the number one foodie in the Song Dynasty. Even if it is his first time to taste coffee, he can quickly grasp the essence of this milk coffee. Top●
In fact, what Cai Jing and the others just drank was a relatively famous type of coffee in later generations - called latte.
To be precise, it's an Italian latte.
In terms of quantity, this should be called milk, because the ratio of milk to coffee is five to one, and coffee is added to the milk. However, coffee has a characteristic, which is that it is very flamboyant and very similar to wine. You only need to add
With coffee, its flavor can be revealed, and no fragrance can cover it up. Coffee never follows the rule of the minority obeying the majority. Just like Li Qi's character, in the world of coffee, wherever I am, I am the master.
Therefore, even though the weight of milk is five times that of coffee, coffee is still the protagonist.
But milk coffee is still a type of fancy coffee after all, and it cannot fully display the delicious taste of coffee. Logically speaking, this is the first time coffee is available to the public. Li Qi should fully highlight the taste of coffee and not make any fancy coffee.
However, in Li Qi's concept of food, he has always only cooked the delicious food that is most suitable for the guests, rather than the delicious food that should be cooked the most.
This is just like some people often say, why don't you even like to drink red wine? You have no taste. Why do you eat egg fried rice? You are too shabby. Why do you never wear a suit? You are so ungentlemanly.
Everyone has their own taste. If you don’t like it, you just don’t like it. That’s it. It doesn’t mean anything. I like egg fried rice and you like steak. These are just different personal tastes. You insist on talking about status and persuasion.
If others like what you like, it seems a bit overwhelming.
The meaning of latte is to be casual, live the life you like, and not be influenced by others. Unlike some petty bourgeoisie people who pursue art, fashion, and deliberateness. What they pursue is never what they like, but what others like.
Yes, they are not wrong. This may be the life they want to live, but it does not mean that others should do the same.
If Li Qi made a cup of black coffee, it is estimated that not many people in the audience would like to drink it. As for the popular taste of Han people, most people still like fancy coffee, which has undergone some processing. In order to allow everyone to fully experience the taste of coffee,
Does it make sense to let them experience some coffee that does not suit their taste?
This is also not in line with business principles, so Li Qi chose this latte to let everyone experience the taste of coffee first. Then he will learn more about it and find his own coffee taste.
As for latte, because milk is used as the main ingredient when preparing it. Everyone is very familiar with the milky aroma, so it won’t cause any resistance. At the same time, everyone can understand what coffee tastes like.
Moreover, milk and coffee are a classic combination. What is a classic? The most basic condition is to be accepted by the public. There has never been a classic that is not accepted by the public.
The man in the garden drank a latte, but the woman on the balcony drank a cappuccino instead of a latte.
Although this name was not named by Li Qi, but was brought by him from later generations, it comes from his hands, so it naturally has another interpretation.
The key lies in the last two words, Qi and Nuo.
This is easily reminiscent of Li Qi and Bai Qiannuo. Li Qi did not use latte but used milk coffee, but he saved cappuccino because of these two words.
Obviously, when the girl said the name of this coffee, Bai Qiannuo became the focus of the audience.
In fact, Li Qi had already prepared a Caccino cocktail before this, and this was not the first time he named it after himself and Bai Qiannuo.
Although Yunxi Coffee is also named after Liu Yunxi, Chino is named after two of them, so its meaning is naturally more profound.
In this regard, Feng Yinu and Ji Hongnu didn't have any dissatisfaction, not even basic jealousy. After all, Bai Qiannuo was Li Qi's first woman. Because of her tolerance, they were able to marry into the Li family. She deserved it.
To get more, this is what the women want.
Cups of cappuccino with milk foam are placed in front of women. The unique shape alone is enough to attract women's attention.
This cappuccino is generally divided into two types: dry and wet. The dry one has less milk and more foam, highlighting the taste of coffee. The wet one has less foam and more milk, similar to a latte, and the coffee taste is lighter. Li Qi naturally chooses
The latter, the same principle applies. If the taste is strong from the beginning, he is afraid that the guests will not be able to accept it.
Bai Qiannuo held the hot cup in both hands, feeling warm and happy in her heart. She naughtily blew the foam floating on it, and then took a sip. The first thing she felt was the richness of milk.
It was fragrant and mellow, and then I felt the coffee with a hint of bitterness. It was sweet and bitter, but the taste was always the same with every bite, just like the smile Li Qi used to make him. No matter how he upgraded, the taste was still the same.
That smell, isn't this the true meaning of love?
Not to mention her, even Feng Yinu, Su Yun and others have found their own meaning in cappuccino.
The most attractive thing about coffee is that its taste is complex. This is because coffee is not the original flavor of coffee beans, but has undergone complex transformations during roasting, which also creates the unique taste of coffee, which is so complex that everyone can enjoy it.
Find your favorite flavor among them.
Different from the atmosphere of previous banquets, this coffee banquet is relatively quiet. Wine likes to be lively, but coffee likes to be quiet. And the most amazing thing is that coffee can make your mood calm. At least Li Qi has never seen anyone holding a cup.
Coffee walks around everywhere and says to everyone he meets that he should do it first as a sign of respect.
Everyone was sipping coffee and chatting, which was really relaxing and comfortable.
However, just having coffee seems a bit monotonous, so you have to prepare some pastries.
Originally, the pastries and coffee were supposed to be served together, but in order to highlight the theme, Li Qi chose to serve the coffee first and then the pastries.
After this round of tasting, the pastries were presented one after another.
No matter how many varieties of coffee there are, the taste of coffee is always rooted in coffee beans. The same cup of latte will still taste different if the coffee beans are used. This leads to the difference in the taste of each coffee bean.
The snacks that come with them are all different.
The coffee beans produced in Jiaozhi have a stronger taste. After many experiments, Li Qi found that this kind of coffee is not suitable for some sweet desserts, but is suitable for some pastries with a fresh taste and reduced sweetness.
The desserts that came here were eye-catching for everyone. They were burnt-yellow cookies, but they had different shapes, including square ones and heart-shaped ones. They were very cute and had a unique fragrance.
Cai Jing asked curiously: "Li Qi, is this your new snack?"
Li Qi nodded and said, "Yes, this snack is called gingerbread."
"gingerbread?"
Cai Jing and others looked at Li Qi in confusion.
Li Qi explained with a smile: "Gingerbread, as the name suggests, is made of ginger and flour. In addition, it also contains honey, brown sugar, almonds, candied peel and spices, etc. It is specially eaten with this coffee, and
As we all know, ginger slices can ward off the cold. It is perfect to eat gingerbread in this winter."
This gingerbread is actually a very old snack, which can be traced back to the time of the ancient Roman Empire. Germans love this gingerbread the most. It is also the most delicious made by Germans. Among them, Nuremberg in Germany is even known as the "Gingerbread Capital"
, it can be seen.
Zheng Yi picked up a piece and tasted it. Because it was freshly baked, the ginger flavor was particularly strong, but because Li Qi sprinkled a layer of icing sugar on the surface of the gingerbread, he ate it. It was sweet and spicy and had a very good taste.
Excited, he took another sip of coffee, and the taste came out completely. He nodded repeatedly and said: "This gingerbread has a really unique flavor, and it has a very different flavor from the usual snacks."
Li Qi secretly laughed, this was invented by Europeans, and of course the taste is different from Chinese snacks.
Cai Jing also ate a small piece. The smell of ginger made him feel warm all over his body. He smiled and said: "If you eat this gingerbread alone, it is not very delicious, but when paired with this milk coffee, the flavors blend together."
Just right, the mellow flavor of the milk can very well relieve the irritation of the ginger flavor on the tongue, just like drinking fried dough sticks dipped in soy milk."
Li Qidao: "The Grand Master said it right. Food is like wearing clothes. It needs to be matched and depends on the person. Maybe some clothes don't look very good-looking, but adding a small accessory will make them look very good. Maybe
It doesn’t look good on one person, but it fits perfectly on another person.”
Cai Jing and others nodded frequently when they heard this. This is also the best part of the food.
"This pastry is so beautiful!"
Gao Qiu suddenly picked up the pastry on another plate. He saw that the pastry was golden yellow and covered with sesame seeds. It was extremely beautiful.
Li Qidao: "Oh, this is crispy water chestnut cake, made of water chestnuts. Compared with ordinary water chestnut cake, this crispy water chestnut cake is crispier and has a better taste."
"Water chestnut."
Gao Qiu nodded, put it in his mouth, chewed it a little, nodded repeatedly and said, "Not bad, not bad, it's crispy and delicious, and it tastes sweet."
Zheng Yi also took a bite and said with a smile: "What's even more clever is that this crispy water chestnut cake is crispy on the outside, but smooth and elastic on the inside. The two extreme tastes are mixed together. It feels very strange, and, obviously
This crispy water chestnut cake is fried, otherwise it would not be so crispy on the outside, but it is not greasy at all, but full of the unique sweet and crisp feeling of water chestnuts. Not only that, it is refreshing and refreshing.
Mixed with the aroma of sesame, the taste is really complex yet simple.”
Wang Zhongling chuckled and said: "The gingerbread just now is most delicious when eaten with coffee, but if you drink this water chestnut cake after coffee, the refreshing feeling of water chestnuts will be more vivid."
After hearing this, everyone tried it one after another, and it was true, because the taste of milk coffee is very strong, and the refreshing taste of water chestnuts can just soothe the rich and delicate feeling on the tongue. On the contrary, people can't help but take another sip of coffee, and feel Extraordinarily wonderful.
Li Qi listened to their detailed explanations and was able to accurately point out the mystery without even opening his mouth. He was secretly glad that he had done enough work today. These people are not easy to fool.
