It is already the eve of spring, and this dish seems to make spring come early, and it comes at the right time. -
In fact, this recipe of "like a sudden spring breeze coming overnight, thousands of pear trees blooming" was borrowed by Master Li from one of the later Cantonese cuisine series, "Breeze Brings Refreshment".
I have to say that this "cool breeze to bring refreshment" is also a classic dish, and its characteristic is that the dish is pleasing to the eye, but it has become more beautiful and tastes a little different under the hands of Master Li. The main theme of "cool breeze to bring refreshment" is
The ingredient is tofu, and Li Qi's dish is pursuing the refreshing, sweet and delicious taste of water chestnuts. Although it still maintains the flavor of Cantonese cuisine, the taste is still very different.
After all, he is the king of chefs, so it is natural to change the dishes. For cooking skills, innovation is the only way to make progress.
But now that spring is here, can green be far behind?
Just when everyone is still immersed in the early warmth of spring, this fourth dish directly brings them into spring.
The green ripe green leaves are at the bottom, as green as emeralds, arranged in the shape of a lotus, piled high in the center, and placed with small balls, pure white, like flower buds.
Each dish is really more beautiful than the other!
Today, Li Qi's cooking is not as gorgeous, grand, and very meticulous as before. Every detail is grasped to the extreme. Every dish is very exquisite. From the perspective of the dishes, it is really flawless.
Li Qi introduced: "This dish is called 'Pond Lotus'."
"Pond lotus." Cai Jing nodded and said, "Although the name of this dish is simple, when paired with this dish, it has a very artistic conception."
Suddenly I heard the noise of chewing coming from next door, "Yeah, yeah, this lotus flower is really delicious."
Cai Jing glanced sideways and saw that there were already four empty plates on Hong Tianjiu's table. He was young and could eat quickly. After eating happily, he smiled, picked up his chopsticks and gestured: "Everyone, let's eat."
, eat.”
Hong Tianjiu and the others can not follow the rules, but not at this table. Cai Jing is the oldest, so naturally he has to use the chopsticks first. This is a matter of politeness and must be paid attention to.
When Cai Jing said this, the others started to use their chopsticks.
"Is this made of fish?"
As soon as the meatball entered his mouth, Zheng Yi said vaguely.
Li Qi nodded and said: "Yes, these meatballs are actually minced fish meat, but there are also minced lean meat and minced meat. They are just made of minced fish as a base, so you can taste the fish meat first."
Cai Jing laughed and said: "Not only that, there are lotus seeds in it, which is somewhat similar to the previous dish 'Like a spring breeze coming overnight, thousands of pear trees blooming'. They are both refreshing and delicious. But the most valuable thing about this dish is that,
Although lean meat and fat meat are added to the meatballs, it should be a bit greasy, but these meatballs are not greasy at all. They are also tender and non-sticky, making it a very unique dish."
Even in later generations, Cai Jing is definitely an expert.
Eating the delicious food made by Li Qi and listening to Cai Jing’s comments is also a kind of fun.
It can also improve your pursuit of delicious food.
In fact, Pond Lotus is also a Cantonese cuisine series, including the two previous dishes of white chopped chicken and unicorn sea bass, both of which are Cantonese dishes.
This Cantonese cuisine is the most demanding among Chinese cuisines. The taste is the most original, and it also pursues the most complex taste. It pays attention to finesse and slow work. Moreover, Cantonese cuisine is a late-blooming cuisine, so it has gathered
The cooking methods of many cuisines, including Western cuisines, are complicated. It is very difficult to invent a Cantonese cuisine. Therefore, Cantonese cuisine chefs are very popular. Because your cooking skills have not reached a certain level, you will not be able to become a Cantonese cuisine at all.
Master, of course, the price is also the most expensive. This is why in later generations, Cantonese food restaurants are far inferior to Sichuan food, because Sichuan food pays attention to heavy flavors, a hearty pleasure, and does not pay too much attention to details. But Cantonese food is not good, a
Failure to pay attention to details will greatly reduce the taste of the entire dish.
There is a reason why Li Qi chose Cantonese cuisine today, because today's theme is coffee, and the best time to drink coffee is in the afternoon. It would be very comfortable to have a cup of coffee during afternoon tea.
If you eat Sichuan food for lunch, how can you appreciate the delicious taste of coffee if your tongue is already numb?
Cantonese cuisine is different. The taste of Cantonese cuisine is relatively light, and the emphasis is on being light but not bland, fresh but not vulgar, tender but not raw, and oily but not greasy.
This way it won't have a big impact on the taste, and you can enjoy the delicious taste of the coffee again later.
There are ten dishes in total, all of which are Cantonese dishes. Each one is a new dish, and except for the chicken, all are based on ten, which indicates perfection.
Of course, after the ten dishes were served, in the blink of an eye, there were only ten empty plates left.
Cai Jing and other elderly people were seven-tenths full and did not need to eat anymore. The portion was just right and they were still savoring the taste in their mouths.
But young people like Hong Tianjiu did not have enough to eat. Gao Yanei said: "Li Qi, you are too stingy. Just a little bit is not enough!"
Your sister, do you want to eat Cantonese food as Shandong food? Li Qi smiled and said: "Don't be impatient in the office. There will be coffee and desserts later. Don't forget that today's theme is coffee, so you have to save some space for coffee."
, Oh, if you are satisfied with these dishes, you can come to my Zuixianju to try them next year. These ten dishes are also the main dishes of our Zuixianju next year."
In the past, Zui Xianju rarely dabbled in Cantonese cuisine because Wu Xiaoliu’s Kung Fu was not enough to support Cantonese cuisine, but now Wu Xiaoliu’s Kung Fu has reached the standard, so Li Qi is preparing to fully launch a Cantonese cuisine series next year, bringing China’s youngest and most delicious
The cuisine was fully promoted in the Song Dynasty.
After drinking and eating, everyone went to the garden and strolled in the garden in twos and threes. Of course, Gao Yanei and the others continued their gambling business.
Li Qi, on the other hand, allowed Cai Jing, Wang Zhongling, Gao Qiu and Bai Shizhong to take a walk in the courtyard.
There was no way around it. He danced too fast. Except for the fearless Fourth Young Master, no one in the younger generation was qualified to discuss national affairs with him. So every time he would either walk with these old guys.
One piece, or drinking and spanking with the four young masters.
Cai Jing saw that Zheng Yi had quietly gone to find Zhang Run'er, and then said: "Li Qi, I have heard about Hangzhou, but I am very confused, can Hangzhou really accommodate twenty colleges of this size?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "The Grand Master is probably worried that these twenty students will affect the Grand Master College."
Cai Jing nodded and said: "Once the academy city is built, it will not have an impact on Taishi University." He sighed again and said: "Taishi University relied on refugees. Nowadays, the number of refugees in the country is gradually decreasing.
This is naturally a good thing for the country, but for our Taishi College, it is not a good thing."
Li Qidao: "Don't be anxious, Taishi. The system of Taishi College has matured and cannot be copied. Taishi College has top talents in many fields, and there are so many big families behind it. The supporting facilities are complete, and the most important thing is
, Now the reputation of Taishi College has been established. Everyone knows that once you enter Taishi College, at least you will not have to worry about food for the rest of your life. If you do well, your monthly salary will be more than a living wage, and there is no tuition fee.
This is something that other colleges have never had, and it will be the same in the future. Therefore, Taishi College is naturally the leader in the education sector. Now, isn’t Taishi College already enrolling students for the common people? Those who are selected by Taishi College will definitely not choose any other
College, plus the Genius College, hum. As long as Taishi College can maintain the output of such high-quality talents, no one can shake its status."
Cai Jing felt a little relieved when he heard what Li Qi said. Now that he has lost power, he can only rely on Taishi Academy to consolidate his position. It can even be said that Taishi Academy is directly related to the survival of their Cai family.
Therefore, he was quite worried about the imperial court building a college.
Li Qi smiled again and said: "Grand Master, aren't there still two opportunities in front of you now?"
Cai Jing was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you talking about the Second County and Tubo?"
Li Qi nodded and said: "The two counties and Tubo have just been recovered not long ago. The culture of our Song Dynasty has not been popularized yet, and the local civilization is very backward. But one thing has changed, that is, the local residents are our Song Dynasty."
If the Grand Master immediately builds a local college, he will not only win the hearts of the local people, but also cater to the imperial court's policies, killing two birds with one stone."
Cai Jing smiled and said: "You are right. In fact, I have sent people to the second county. As for Tubo, I am still worried that there will be a war."
Li Qidao: "Master, don't worry about this, because worrying is useless. If we want to fight, war may happen anywhere."
Cai Jing nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. Well, we should hurry up. I will ask Yongzi to make arrangements later."
Bai Shizhong suddenly said: "Li Qi, I heard that you ruined Qin Hui's good deeds in Hangzhou again?"
Li Qi smiled disdainfully and said: "It's not bad, it's just that Qin Hui stretched out his hand too fast and too hastily, which led to the contradiction."
When Wang Zhongling heard about Qin Hui, he felt a toothache and said fiercely: "That guy's ambition is really big. He won't even let go of a small official."
Cai Jing waved his hands and said, "You can't say that. If these petty officials don't do things for him, where would this power come from? But you are right, Qin Hui's ambition is indeed very big." After a pause, he
He added: "Now that the Criminal Department is gone, he cannot control criminal cases, which results in him lacking a treasure to protect his men, so he can only use the staff as much as possible to place his people in various good positions.
Just drop one group and raise another group to go up."
Bai Shizhong said: "But my daughter has recently advocated the popularization of the electoral system, and the emperor seems to be very tempted. This electoral system is undoubtedly a serious problem for the officials. I think Qin Hui will not give up."
Cai Jing nodded and said: "Meng Heng is right, Li Qi, you have to be careful."
Li Qi smiled and said: "What's there to worry about? It's not the first time."
Cai Jing shook his head and said: "Qin Hui is no longer what he used to be. His power is growing much faster than you think. It's not what I said to you. I have lived for nearly a hundred years, and this is the first time I have seen someone like you.
As an official, look at Qin Hui. He is working hard every day to manage his own power. Now half of the people in the court are his, and his power has penetrated into the whole country. But you, you spend three days fishing and two days drying nets, unless
If it's a big deal, you'd never ask about it otherwise, and that's not okay."
Bai Shizhong hummed: "Grand Master, I have said this to him more than a hundred times, but this guy is always vague and will not listen to what he wants."
A hundred times? This should be an exaggeration. Li Qi smiled bitterly and said: "Master, father-in-law, you have also seen that I may lead troops to go out at any time, and I have to take care of reforms, whether it is institutional, ideological, or economic
, I am involved in them all, how can I find time to run them."
"Qin Hui doesn't necessarily do less than you, so why is he so free?"
Cai Jing said with a worried look: "Li Qi, you have never experienced a complete party struggle, and you don't know how brutal it is. Once a party struggle breaks out, the forces in the DPRK and China will become particularly important, because there is no right or wrong in party struggle."
To put it simply, more people bully fewer people. Once the balance between the two sides is lost, the weaker side will be in danger. Now you still have the military talisman. Once you lose the military talisman, Qin Hui can kill you at any time, but military power has
The emperor is very sensitive, and if you don't do it, you will be defeated by this, so you still have to manage the power of the civil service. After all, our government uses civil society to control military force."
Li Qi smiled confidently and said: "Master, please rest assured. If I really have any shortcomings, the person under me must be Qin Hui. It is impossible for me to die earlier than him. Don't forget, I single-handedly promoted Qin Hui."
, since I dare to promote him, I will have a way to cure him."
Seeing that he had said this, Cai Jing didn't ask any more questions. In fact, he just wanted to remind Li Qi not to go to court for several days and neglect some key details. Being an official is not about working alone.
Heroism, why Wang Anshi fell, that is because he was headstrong and ignored everyone, which led to people saying bad things about him in the emperor's ears every day. This led to Wang Anshi fighting alone, and ultimately could not escape defeat, and in this way
This will only make Qin Hui fat and strong.
After chatting for a while, it was almost time for afternoon tea. Everyone returned to the table and waited for the delicious food to be served. They came here for no other reason than for coffee.
Soon, the afternoon tea coffee was served, but unlike in the morning, all the cups this time were tall glasses.
As we all know, this goblet was prepared for Tian Xia Wushuang. Putting other wine in the goblet would be a waste. Therefore, the goblet, like Tian Xia Wushuang, is a luxury product. Most people still
Really useless.
Do you need to drink this coffee from a tall glass?
Cai Jing and others all looked surprised.
