In fact, the double milk skin that Li Qi made this time was stolen from a small tea restaurant in Hong Kong. As a city of gourmet food, Hong Kong has a very unique place, that is, the best food is not necessarily found in certain restaurants.
They are not inside the hotel, but are scattered in some small stalls and small restaurants on the roadside. Therefore, when Li Qi goes to Hong Kong, he usually never enters the hotel to eat.
Song Huizong looked at the red and white double breast skin and asked curiously: "Why is this dish called double breast skin?"
Li Qi took the initiative and said: "Your Majesty, you will know the reason once you taste it."
Suddenly I heard someone shout: "Be brave, just answer truthfully when the emperor asks you a question. How can there be so many reasons?"
It was Wang Fu who spoke.
Li Qi glanced at Wang Fu slightly and cursed in his heart, "What did you say when I was talking to the emperor?"
Song Huizong had long been used to it, so he didn't mind. He raised his hand and said, "Hey, Wang Aiqing, Li Qi certainly has his reason for saying this."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Wang Fu nodded hurriedly and said, he just wanted to take the opportunity to flatter him, but he didn't expect that he would slap him on the horse's leg. He secretly wondered why the emperor valued this cook so much.
When Cai Jing saw this, an inexplicable smile appeared on his lips.
Song Huizong scooped up the small piece of double breast skin with a spoon and put it into his mouth. A gleam flashed in his eyes, and the double breast skin danced in his mouth with a hint of coolness. He bit it lightly and it was so satisfying that he almost lost his tongue.
When he bit it, he shouted: "I understand, I understand, I understand why this dish is called double milk skin."
Except for Li Qi, everyone else looked at Song Huizong in surprise.
After Song Huizong swallowed the double milk skin, he laughed and said: "The secret of this double milk skin is that the dish seems to be blended into one. It is actually two layers of milk skin. The upper layer of milk skin is sweet and fragrant, while the lower layer of milk skin is fragrant and smooth. However,
I think this should be called three-milk skin. Because the top layer of red bean paste is also considered a delicacy. Eat it with the milk skin. It is sweet and refreshing. It has a delicate texture, not bad, not bad. This dish is so delicious.
, Haha, it seems that I made the right trip this time!”
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood and nodded in agreement, but their eyes unconsciously glanced at the pair of breasts, especially Gao Yanei, who kept hiding next to Gao Qiu and wiping his saliva.
Li Qi said with a smile: "The emperor has rewarded you. In fact, what the common people think is even more rare is that the emperor only took this small bite and was able to explain the secret of this dish, as if this dish was cooked by the emperor himself."
The common people really admire him very much."
Longyan, Huizong of the Song Dynasty, was so happy that his eyes widened with smiles. He picked up the spoon again and wanted to taste the milk skin again, but he thought that there were more delicacies waiting for him to taste, so he finally gave up.
Song Huizong took two steps and saw dozens of small rice balls inside an iron plate with a layer of seaweed on the outside. Moreover, the rice balls were of different colors, including red, green and blue, and he couldn't help but take a breath.
, walked over quickly, pointed at the small rice ball and asked: "Li Qi, what kind of dish is this?"
Li Qi replied: "Oh, this is called sushi." He thought to himself that from today on, I will leave a praise to future generations, "All the delicious food in the world comes from China."
In fact, sushi was originally introduced to Japan from China, but it was carried forward by Japan, but from today on, sushi will become the culture of Chinese food again.
“Sushi.”
Song Huizong recited it in a low voice, then picked up a small rice ball and put it into his mouth, chewed it for a while, nodded, and said: "Not bad, not bad. Why is your rice ball so much more delicious than ordinary rice?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Because after I cooked the rice, I mixed some seasonings with vinegar and soaked the rice for a while."
"I see."
Song Huizong nodded and said: "And your rice is also filled with fish. The fish absorbs the aroma of rice and vinegar and becomes very delicious. Yes, you can make such a delicious meal with a simple grain of rice. I I’m so pleased!”
Li Qizuo bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment."
Song Huizong smiled, and suddenly felt a chill coming towards him. Looking for the coolness, he turned around and saw large red and white crabs placed in the iron plate next to him. Not only that, there were also some large crabs lying underneath. I walked over to a piece of cold ice and asked curiously: "What kind of dish is this?"
Li Qi replied: "This is iced Huadiao crab, made with Huadiao wine and some other sauces."
“Iced Chinese carved crab?”
Song Huizong swallowed, picked up the tongs very skillfully, put one on the plate, cut off one leg, put it in his mouth, chewed it, nodded and praised: "It turns out that crabs can be eaten like this." Then he turned to Cai Jing and said, "Cai Aiqing has always loved eating crabs. Why don't you try this iced Huadiao crab? It is indeed very delicious..."
In fact, Cai Jing had noticed this dish a long time ago, and his gastric juices were rising rapidly. When Song Huizong was eating it just now, he kept swallowing saliva. But as soon as he opened his mouth, he heard Li Qi say: "Your Majesty, Grand Master, he is old because of his age. Because of this, he shouldn’t eat this dish. The sushi just now is quite suitable for his old man.”
When Cai Jing heard this, his face turned red with anger, he glared at Li Qi and said in a deep voice: "Li Qi, the emperor is here, you must not be so presumptuous."
He was really almost pissed off by Li Qi now. He would have ignored it normally, but with so many ministers here, Li Qi still didn't give him any face. How could he not be angry about it.
The ministers behind were very surprised when they heard this, but at the same time they admired Li Qi's courage. As for Wang Zhongling, he was already sweating profusely. He knew that this anniversary banquet was nominally a collaboration between Cai Taishi Mansion and Zui Xianju. , that is to say, if something goes wrong, Zuixianju will not be able to escape the involvement. How can he, a third-grade official, resist Cai Jing? Li Qi was scolded half to death in his heart.
But Li Qi was not afraid at all, and said aggrievedly: "Master, why don't I think about your health?"
Here we go again.
This sentence has now become the most annoying thing in Cai Jing's life. He felt dizzy and wanted to kick him. His mouth was trembling so much that he almost flew out.
Song Huizong looked at Cai Jing's expression and twitched the corner of his mouth a few times. He said, "This is all my fault. I forgot that you, my dear, cannot eat crabs." There was even a hint of smile in his tone.
Cai Jing had a dark face, nodded and said, "Old minister, I don't dare. It's all because this guy is too rude."
"Hey, I love you, don't be angry. Since this crab is not good for your health, you'd better not eat it. You are my pillar of the Song Dynasty, so you have to cherish your own body!" Song Huizong said, and also He patted Cai Jing on the shoulder.
Cai Jing's face immediately changed from anger to joy. He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is so kind to me, I am so grateful that I will shed tears of gratitude and I will not give up even if I die." As he said this, he made a gesture to kneel down.
Song Huizong immediately helped him up and said: "There is no need to be polite if you love me."
When Wang Zhongling saw this scene, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Bai Shizhong and shook his head with a wry smile. This boy is really stupid and blessed!
Wang Fu, who was standing next to Song Huizong, picked up some information very keenly, squinted his eyes, and had a strange smile on his lips.
As for Li Qi, he almost vomited when he saw it. It was just a crab. Is it necessary to be so sensational? I saw Song Huizong moving his lips a few times and thought that his mouth must be dry after eating so many dishes.
Xiaoyu, who was behind him, winked.
Xiaoyu was such a clever girl. She immediately understood Li Qi's intention. She hurriedly poured a cup of Tianxia Wushuang from the wine flask and came over, respectfully saying: "Your Majesty, please use it."
Hey. This girl is really smart. How did she know that I was thirsty?
Song Huizong couldn't help but smile, looked at Xiaoyu, and remembered that this girl was the female bartender of Zuixianju. In the past, when he went to Zuixianju, she would always serve him, and she was also very attentive. He picked up the glass of wine and moved toward
Liang Shicheng beside him said: "Reward."
Liang Shicheng was also stunned. He really didn't know why Song Huizong wanted to reward the female bartender. He was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions and hurriedly took out a gold ingot weighing more than ten taels and put it on the tray.
Wow! This is almost her annual salary.
Xiaoyu hurriedly saluted and said: "Xiaoyu thanks the emperor for the generous reward."
Song Huizong hummed, took a sip of wine, nodded and said: "Good wine, good wine." Then he put the wine on the tray and said to Xiaoyu: "You can follow me later."
Xiaoyu hurriedly said: "Yes."
When everyone saw this scene, they were all looking at things in the fog. Only Li Qi knew it well.
Song Huizong took another two steps and saw that every dish was so strange. He hesitated for a moment as to which dish he should eat. Suddenly he saw a plate containing some round, brown pastries. This kind of
This was the first time he saw pastry. He walked over and asked, "Li Qi, what kind of pastry is this?"
Li Qi said very shyly: "When I go back to the emperor, I am embarrassed to say this name."
Song Huizong had a straight face and pretended to be angry: "If you are embarrassed, please tell me."
Li Qi chuckled and said: "This is called Li Qi's cookie, it represents the heart and respect." At this point, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. From today on, the cookie will be named after me, haha
.
"Leach cake?"
Song Huizong was startled, then burst into laughter. After laughing for a while, he stopped, nodded and said: "Interesting, interesting, I must try this Li Qi cake today." After saying that, he picked up the cake.
Put a piece of Li Qi biscuit into your mouth, and the rich milk fragrance spreads from your mouth, making people immersed in it. They praised: "It's crisp and refreshing, not greasy. Yes, your Li Qi biscuit is really delicious."
." As he said that, he took another piece and put it into his mouth, ate it, and then walked forward again.
Before taking two steps, Song Huizong stopped again, looking at the triangles next to each other. The pastries were stacked layer by layer, and they looked very soft. He picked up one and asked: "Li Qi, what is this?"
"
Li Qi replied: "Oh, this is a foie gras sandwich. It is the most expensive dish today. Since the ingredients are hard to find, I only made so much today."
“The most expensive dish?”
Song Huizong was stunned, and couldn't wait to take a bite. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he took two more bites in succession. Then he simply opened the outer two layers and saw the layer of sandwich inside, and said: "What's in here?" , why is it so delicious?”
A professional foodie is a professional foodie.
Li Qi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the filling here is foie gras."
“Foie gras?”
Song Huizong was stunned and said: "Is this foie gras made from foie gras?"
"The Emperor's Holy Ming."
Li Qi nodded and said: "Actually, the reason why this foie gras is so rare is that it starts to be made before the goose is slaughtered. It takes a long time to make it."
"Before slaughtering?"
Song Huizong asked curiously: "Then tell me how to make foie gras."
"yes."
Li Qi nodded and replied: "First, you have to insert a tender tube into the goose's belly and fill it with corn and other materials. This is to make the foie gras more plump. After a period of time, the goose is slaughtered and the goose is eaten. Take out the foie gras, cut open the foie gras and take out the blood vessels, sprinkle with salt, Wushuang and other ingredients, marinate for about a month, then bake in the oven, then add weights, flatten the foie gras from top to bottom, wait After cooling, place it in an ice cellar to freeze."
This was the first time for the others to hear this practice. Seeing Song Huizong's intoxicated appearance, they were even more itchy and couldn't wait to rush up and have a taste.
Song Huizong nodded and looked at the plate again, but saw that there were only forty or fifty. He hesitated for a while and asked, "You really only did this much?"
Li Qi nodded and said: "There are really only so many."
Song Huizong nodded, and then glanced at Liang Shicheng. The latter understood immediately, picked up four or five clips, put them into the plate, and then handed them to his servants to put them away.
Day. You really can’t finish eating and are walking around!
Li Qi expressed strong contempt for Song Huizong in his heart. (To be continued...)
