Chapter 250: Dragon and Phoenix Tenderness (Part 2)
A dish, a tenderness and sweetness, not to mention the taste of this dish, the meaning alone has pushed this dish to another realm.
Li Qi's words immediately convinced Zuo Boqing on the side. Let alone the cook, Wang Fu and other powerful ministers were probably just as eloquent.
Master Li opened her mouth slightly and stared at Li Qi in shock. She originally wanted to tease Li Qi, but she did not expect that she did him a big favor. After a while, she covered her lips and giggled, saying: "I really didn't expect this dish from Master Li."
Not only is it beautiful and elegant, but it also has such profound meaning, I am really ashamed.”
When Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty saw Li Shishi smiling, he was immediately delighted. This boy's work was really reassuring. He laughed and said: "Okay, well said. Dragons and phoenixes are tender, and love is stronger than gold. Haha, Li Qi, your dish is really wonderful."
Ah, wonderful! Li Qi, tell yourself what reward you want."
Humph. It’s not that easy to make me look embarrassed. Is there any reward? I’m a layman, so naturally I’ll get promoted and make a fortune, hehe.
Li Qi was very proud in his heart, but he still said humbly: "The emperor has given me a reward. In fact, rewards should be based on merit. The emperor and the teacher should judge the merit. The common people only did their best and did not dare to ask for rewards.
"
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: "Where do you start talking about this?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Actually, the idea for this dish is all about the Emperor and Miss Shishi. Regardless of their identities, the Emperor Guang and Miss Shishi are sitting together. They are both talented and beautiful. You can tell at a glance that they are the best among people.
, and it is precisely because of this that Xiaomin came up with this dish."
Master Li chuckled and said, "Master Li is really good at talking."
Song Huizong felt very comfortable, because few people flattered him. He directly said that he was handsome, but then again, Li Qi did not mean all the compliments. Song Huizong was not good at governing the country, but he was indeed handsome, and
When Li Shishi is together, it is no exaggeration to say that the man is talented and the woman is beautiful. Song Huizong laughed for a while and said: "You don't have to be modest. I came here today and saw that Shishi's health is much better than before. You should be
You are indispensable, I will remember this contribution first. I will definitely reward you heavily in the future."
"The emperor's blessings last forever, and the common people shed tears of gratitude."
Li Qi accepted it as soon as he saw it, and hurriedly saluted.
Song Huizong smiled and nodded, and said to Master Li: "Master, please share the tender love of dragon and phoenix with me, don't waste Li Qi's hard work."
"Teacher, please obey."
Song Huizong was naturally a fan of phoenix. After tasting it carefully, he nodded and said: "Not bad, not bad, the outside is fragrant and soft. The chicken inside is tender and delicious. Li Qi, you made this chicken really like phoenix meat."
.”
The phoenix is just a legendary mythical beast. Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty compared this hen to a phoenix. This is quite a high compliment.
Li Qi smiled honestly and said: "The emperor has given me a reward."
Song Huizong asked Master Li again: "Master, what do you think of this dish?"
Master Li tasted a bite of fish and another bite of bean sprouts, and said with a smile: "The taste of these bean sprouts is also very delicious. Master Li likes it very much. Fish is a metaphor for dragon and chicken is a phoenix. Master Li's tenderness between dragon and phoenix is really real.
It’s so cleverly tight.”
Song Huizong laughed for a while and suddenly said to Zuo Boqing: "Boqing, do you know the difference between you and Li Qi?"
Zuo Boqing was slightly startled, then he saluted hurriedly and said, "This villain is inferior to Li Qi in terms of cooking skills and knowledge."
Song Huizong shook his head and said: "Bo Qing, your cooking skills are only between those of Li Qi and Li Qi, but every dish Li Qi cooks has its own meaning. In this regard, you are not as good as him."
"Young man, remember the emperor's teachings."
Obviously, Li Qi's dish has achieved unprecedented success.
Song Huizong and Li Shishi tasted the tenderness of dragon and phoenix, and drank the mutton-free mutton soup prepared by Li Qi. It was the first time for him to drink such a delicious mutton soup. He couldn't help but feel curious. After asking, he found out that the mutton was made from leeks.
He grew up, so he didn't have the smell of mutton, so he immediately ordered Zuo Boqing to raise the mutton in the imperial dining room in this way from now on.
After drinking and eating, Song Huizong and Master Li returned to the mahjong table in high spirits, waving to Li Qi and saying: "Li Qi, don't stand around all the time. Come and play mahjong with me."
"yes."
Li Qi nodded and sat opposite Li Shishi.
While sorting out the cards, Song Huizong said with a smile: "This mahjong is really interesting. Li Qi, I heard from my teacher that you also made this mahjong?"
Li Qi nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, this mahjong is specially made by Xiaomin to help Miss Shishi adjust her body. The purpose is to help Miss Shishi relieve her boredom."
"Yes, you do have good intentions."
Song Huizong nodded and suddenly said: "Since you have such a good thing, why didn't you give it to me earlier?"
Sweat! Boss, you should at least pay attention to national affairs and don’t spend all day focusing on these new and exciting things.
Li Qi said sarcastically: "Actually, I have wanted to offer it to the emperor for a long time, but I just didn't know how to offer it."
This is not an outburst. For a small person like Li Qi, it would be easy for the emperor to come to him. But if he wanted to find the emperor, it would be really difficult for him to do so.
Song Huizong nodded in understanding and did not blame him. He smiled and said: "I heard that you also made the poker?"
"Ah? Your Majesty, how do you know?" Li Qi said subconsciously.
Song Huizong glared at him slightly and said: "I knew it too late. If not, how could I have lost to Gao Aiqing last time? Sometimes I really can't see through this kid like you, how good at cooking, how good at cooking.
You can draw and tinker with some fun things. I heard from my teacher that you can also compose poetry, which is really amazing."
I'll kill you. Brother Qiu, you are so unkind. You use the thing I invented to please the emperor, and you won't pay the dividends. It's shameless.
Li Qi's heart twitched. He took this poker and won hundreds of coins from the Hong family. However, Hong Tianjiu used this poker to win hundreds of coins. It didn't matter, md. Gao Qiu used this poker to win.
To win the emperor's money, after all calculations, he is still the smallest winner, and can even be said to be the biggest loser. This business has made a huge loss. It seems that in the future, they will have to teach them stud to make enough money at once. Well, that's it.
Do it. He said with a hint of depression: "As far as the emperor is concerned, these little people's tricks are just small tricks. Compared with the emperor's grand plan, they are really not worth mentioning."
Li Shishi glanced at him slightly, smiled helplessly, and said: "You, Zuixianju, go to rescue those refugees. This is no small feat."
Beautiful lady, you finally said a nice word to me.
Li Qi felt happy.
Song Huizong nodded and said: "Yes, yes. I have always governed the world with benevolence and righteousness, but now there are constant wars and the treasury is empty. I have to manage such a large country, but sometimes I am powerless. You are also doing this for me.
I am deeply pleased to share your worries. If you have any difficulties, just tell me and I will make the decision for you."
Damn it! You don’t even blush when you say this? You can feed hundreds of people for the cost of just one piece of granite.
Li Qi secretly despised this foolish king, but said: "It is a blessing for the common people to be able to share the emperor's worries."
"I heard that this act of charity was initiated by the Red Lady and the White Prime Minister's daughter, who are now famous in the capital?" Master Li asked with a hint of curiosity.
"Exactly."
Li Qi nodded.
Song Huizong smiled and said: "Master, you don't know something. This red lady not only caused a storm in the city, she even made a fuss in the court. I also had a headache for a while."
Master Li nodded slightly and added: "But this red lady does have some abilities. Not only is she kind-hearted, but her lyrics and music are also very interesting."
Song Huizong glanced at Li Qi slightly and said, "Li Qi, is the song sung by Little Red Lady really composed by her?"
Li Qi was stunned, nodded and said: "Exactly."
"Seriously? The crime of deceiving the emperor is not a small crime." Song Huizong said half-jokingly.
Yeah, bah, here you go to scare me again.
Sweat stains gradually appeared on Li Qi's eyebrows. He stammered: "Actually, Xiaomin also made a little effort."
Song Huizong snorted softly and said: "Stop talking nonsense here. Those lyrics and music were all written by you, and I see that you were behind this good deed. However, those officials and scholar-bureaucrats can now be controlled by you."
It’s so miserable.” At the end of his sentence, he actually laughed.
Yan Guan was someone he hated very much, and Li Qi helped him vent his anger this time.
Li Qi hurriedly said loudly: "Your Majesty's eyes are as sharp as a torch, and he can tell the truth clearly. The common people admire him very much."
As soon as this was said, it was undoubtedly an indirect admission.
Although Feng Yinu once guessed that these lyrics and music were composed by Li Qi, that was just a guess after all. Master Li was still not sure. Now that he heard Li Qi personally admit it, he was still surprised and said: "Master Li, those lyrics and music should be
Was it really you?"
Li Qi nodded honestly.
Song Huizong laughed and scolded: "You are really brave, you dare to deceive even me."
Sweating! This is hype. Do you understand hype? What a business idiot.
Li Qi hurriedly said: "The common people dare not deceive the emperor. When it comes to these lyrics and music, the Red Lady has indeed done a lot of work."
"oh?"
Song Huizong frowned and said, "Then I really want to meet this red lady and see if she is really like the one in the legend."
But as soon as he said these words, he immediately realized that something was wrong. He glanced at Master Li, coughed slightly, and quickly changed the subject: "Master, speaking of which, I haven't heard you sing for a long time. I wonder if you can help me."
I will play a song."
He originally wanted to skip the topic of the Red Lady, but he never thought that Li Shishi suddenly smiled and said: "Just in time, I also asked for a piece of music from the Qin Mansion two days ago. If your Majesty doesn't dislike it, Shishi is willing to sing it for your Majesty."
Play this new song by Master Li."
Song Huizong smiled and said: "That is really the best thing."
Master Li stood up and bowed slightly, then said to Li Qi: "Master Li, if there are any shortcomings, I hope you can correct them for me."
Li Qi originally wanted to run away, but after Master Li said this, he had no choice but to stay.
Soon, the piano was put away.
Li Shishi sat in front of the piano table, playing the piano with her ten fingers. After a slow prelude, she began to sing, "Keeping your kiss overnight, I can't feel how true you are. It's already dusk when I miss you, and there are still tears on my face."
, if I don’t care about you from now on, if I don’t want to be inseparable from you, the night will not be cold, and my heart will not hurt. The trembling lips, can’t wait for your kiss, a woman who is easily hurt... in the dark night
I dare not light a lamp inside. Who made me fall deeper and deeper into it? The people I loved deeply became stranger and stranger."
I have to say that Master Li's piano skills and singing skills are indeed the best in the capital. Compared with her, Ji Hongnu is still a step behind. When this song is sung from her mouth, it makes people sigh. It is like being full of beautiful longing for love.
Ji Hongnu couldn't sing the charm of this song.
Song Huizong was stunned when he heard this, his face full of guilt.
Sweat! I've plagiarized so many songs, why can't you choose a happier one? You're obviously borrowing my words to express your dissatisfaction with the emperor. If he comes to settle accounts with me, wouldn't I?
It's so unfair.
Li Qi secretly thought that it would be better to escape as soon as possible. He hurriedly made a gesture to Zuo Boqing and maid Zhuxin. They understood and quietly pushed out of the room...)
