Chapter four hundred and ninety-six the taste of spring
Slate barbecue?
Just four words were enough to arouse everyone's curiosity. Song Huizong stopped talking and led everyone towards the front.
When they came to the front, the scene in front of them immediately shocked them.
I saw those employees, shopkeepers and young men who were usually too lazy to use their legs, now put on gloves, picked up hoes and waved them in the fields. Dust and sweat were flying in the air, a strong spring feeling
The breath came to us, but some old farmers in tattered clothes were resting aside, occasionally giving them guidance.
Is this still my Song Dynasty?
Song Huizong was in a daze. Not to mention him, even Li Shishi, Gao Qiu and others were completely confused. Song Moquan felt even more dizzy. The impact on people like him was really too great.
After a moment, Song Huizong pointed forward with trembling fingers and said: "What are they doing?"
Can't you see this? You've never even seen planting trees. Li Qi wondered: "They are planting trees."
"I know they're planting trees."
You know and you still ask? Li Qi groaned and looked at him blankly.
How could this kid become so stupid all of a sudden? Song Huizong said angrily: "I'm asking, why do these people plant trees here?"
Li Qi snorted and was about to reply when Gao Yanei said first, "Uncle Zhao, this is all because of the delusion that it tastes delicious."
“Delicious illusion?”
Everyone looked at Gao Yanei at the same time.
Song Huizong asked: "Kang'er, what is the delicacy of illusion?"
Gao Yanei said hehey: "This delusion is that it is Li Qi, so what's going on?"
Sweating! This idiot. Li Qi smiled bitterly and told Song Huizong and others what he had said to deceive everyone before.
After hearing this, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty laughed and said: "What you say makes sense, what you say makes sense."
Zhao Kai joked: "Li Qi, could it be that your cooking skills have reached their peak and you thought of this method to improve the deliciousness of the dishes?"
Li Qi hurriedly said: "How is it possible? There is no peak in cooking skills. There are so many delicacies in the world, and there are so many ways to combine them. I have brought several newly developed dishes today. You will not be disappointed if you keep them.
of."
Song Huizong raised his hand and said: "I have confidence in you, but now I also want to try this delicacy."
Everyone was stunned, and Liang Shicheng hurriedly said: "High officials, you must not do it. How can you ask high officials to do such dirty work?"
Li Qi also said: "Yes, yes. Senior official, Mr. Liang is right. How dare I let you do such dirty work?"
Song Huizong said resolutely: "I have made up my mind. Don't try to persuade me. I haven't eaten my own fruits yet. Who can plant trees with me?"
"I am willing to plant trees with the high officials." Wang Fu said hurriedly.
Cai Jing shook his head and said helplessly: "Officials, although I also want to have fun with the high officials, I'm afraid that I have more than enough ambition but not enough energy."
Song Huizong laughed and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I understand the Grand Master's wishes."
Zhao Kai and Li Bangyan also responded one after another.
When Li Qi saw this, he sighed secretly, and had to ask someone to bring them some hoes and gloves. With their delicate skin and tender flesh, if they didn't wear gloves, they would probably be able to wear them out in half an hour.
.
Li Qi came to the planting area and saw small raised earth bags every three meters. Song Huizong asked curiously: "What are these earth bags used for?"
Li Qi explained: "It just stipulates the distance between each tree. You only need to plant trees on this soil bag." He then called an old farmer to provide professional guidance to Song Huizong and others.
Li Qi stayed with him for a while, and suddenly he heard a burst of laughter from behind. When he turned around, he saw that it was Hong Tianjiu and his group of troublemakers who were planting trees in the last row, and Gao Yanei didn't know when he came there. Went over there.
He felt uneasy, so he said hello to Song Huizong, but the latter was concentrating on digging the hole and didn't hear it at all. Li Qi shrugged and left quietly.
From far away, I could hear the fat man Zhou Hua's obscene laughter, "Xiao Jiu, I happen to have a couplet here, me me me me me me me."
"This is so simple. My second line is, you, you, you, you, you."
Sweat! It seems that it is difficult for Song Yuchen to raise his head in front of these idiots in the past year. Li Qi squeezed out a cold sweat, walked over, and said with a smile: "Miaoji, Miaoji, Fatty, Xiaojiu You two are really amazing and make me cry, you are so wonderful."
Hong Tianjiu and others turned around and saw Li Qi coming. They gathered around him and said hehe, "Brother Li, you are so powerful. You are not even your opponent for the great scholar Song. Now Song Yuchen is ordered to replace you." You bowed."
Gao Yanei was dissatisfied and said: "Xiaojiu, this has something to do with Li Qi. It is the first couplet of my Yanei that is so wonderful."
Li Qi glanced back at Song Moquan and his son, and whispered: "Okay, okay, that's it for now. Next time, how about we hold a special commendation meeting." He then changed the subject and said, "You guys How's the planting going?"
Hong Tianjiu waved his hand and said: "Brother, please look, we are the fastest growing ones."
Li Qi took a look and saw that they had planted fifteen trees. He looked surprised and nodded: "They are indeed young and vigorous forces. They just move more quickly. Why do you plant them higher than others?" Some."
Zhou Hua said hey: "Of course, how can those of them compare with us."
The more Li Qi looked at it, the more confused he became. He walked over, grabbed a sapling, and shook it gently. Then he shook it harder, and the sapling was uprooted. He finally understood why they planted it faster than others. He gritted his teeth and said, "Xiaojiu, didn't anyone teach you how to plant trees?"
Hong Tianjiu said carelessly: "You don't need anyone to teach you how to plant a tree. You just need to dig a hole and bury the tree in it."
Li Qi laughed so angry that he patted Hong Tianjiu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Xiaojiu, you are really a genius." At this point, he was so depressed that he almost cried. He glanced at the group of young men and said, I couldn't bear to hit them, so I could only say: "By the way, I'm going to use the stone slab to barbecue now. You geniuses can help me."
The meat was roasted and spoiled, so they had to eat it by themselves anyway. If the trees were not planted well, then Li Qi would have to bear the blame alone. And at their speed, how many trees would have to be destroyed in one morning. Li Qi quickly ordered the bandits to away from the planting area.
When Hong Tianjiu heard this, he quickly threw down his hoe, nodded and said, "I'll go, I'll go."
Li Qi led the group of young men out of the planting area and came to the open space in front. He saw that Wu Xiaoliu and others had already piled up the stoves, but this time the stoves were different from the past. There were many kinds, some of which were the most primitive. Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the three-meter-long stone slab in the middle. But bricks are pushed up three feet on both sides of the stone slab, and four piles of firewood are laid underneath. , the four chefs were working behind the stone slabs, and it was surprising one after another.
"Brother Li, you are here."
Hong Tianjiu saw Wu Xiaoliu scrubbing the stone slab with a brush and asked curiously: "Liuzi, what are you doing?"
Wu Xiaoliu smiled and said: "I'm brushing oil."
"Brush oil?"
Li Qidao: "I tell you, you don't understand either, but don't touch this slate, be careful not to burn your hands." Then he said to Wu Xiaoliu: "You guys do your best, I'll go to Lu Meimei's place to have a look first."
"yes."
Li Qi came to Lu Meimei and Zhang Run'er again. At this time, one of them was kneading dough and the other was putting rice into the bamboo tube. Bai Qiannuo, Li Shishi and other women were also around here.
When Bai Qiannuo saw Li Qi coming, he quickly asked: "Brother, sister Run'er said these noodles are for baking?"
Hong Tianjiu was surprised and said: "Baked noodles. Can these noodles also be baked?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Of course it can be baked, and it's quite delicious."
Master Li asked: "Are they baked on this stone slab?"
Li Qi nodded and said, "Yes, most of the food today is baked on stone slabs."
Feng Yinu asked curiously: "Then how is this different from putting it on an iron plate?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Slate barbecue is different from the previous iron plate and charcoal barbecue. It is natural and environmentally friendly, can maintain the nutritional richness of the original meat, has the original flavor effect, and can better appreciate the effects of nature. Our delicious food.”
Feng Yinu nodded and said, "Is this also the reason for the bamboo tube rice?"
"Exactly. In fact, in the culinary world, the most difficult thing to make is rice, because everyone eats rice often and is very familiar with the taste of rice. Therefore, it is not a simple matter to make this rice have a special taste. Easy thing."
Gao Yanei said: "Then the rice in the bamboo tube is also used for baking?"
"Of course not, this is for cooking. You see, the hanging stove is prepared for this."
Li Qi shook his head and said to Master Li and the other girls: "Miss Master, madam, I have specially prepared a stone slab for you. You can sit on the edge and bake your own food. The food will be sent to you after it is ready. Don’t worry, the biggest feature of this stone slab barbecue is that there is no oil smoke, so it won’t smoke you. I will come over and teach you later.”
Master Li smiled and said, "That would be troublesome."
Gao Yanei came over and whispered: "Li Qi, you are so busy, why don't you teach me this method first, and then I will teach them."
Damn it! You want to snatch my only welfare, how shameless. Li Qi smiled and whispered: "Ya Nei, I have been looking forward to this moment today, do you think I will give it to you?"
As he spoke, he walked towards Chen Xiaozhu and others again.
Gao Yamen was stunned for a long time before he realized what he was doing. He jumped up in anger and said anxiously towards Master Li and the other girls: "Ms. Li, Mrs. Feng, Li Qi has evil intentions. He is a villain. You must not trust him." .”
When these words came out of Gao Yanei's mouth, everyone couldn't help laughing.
At this time, Chen Xiaozhu and a group of his disciples were kneading mud. Hong Tianjiu was shocked and said: "Xiaozhu, why is your flour black?"
Zhou Hua also said curiously: "And it looks like mud."
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "What does it look like? This is mud."
Chai Cong was shocked and asked: "Can mud be eaten too?"
"I didn't say that, this mud is prepared for them." Li Qi said to the white, tender, bare hen in the pot next to it.
After walking around in a circle, Li Qi saw that there was nothing wrong and the slates were all heated up. He washed his hands, put on an apron and a high hat, and came to the back of the longest slate in the middle and faced Wu Xiaoliu. The others said: "Let's start work."
In a word, all the materials were put on the stone slab at the same time, but I saw people holding iron tweezers one by one, constantly flipping the five-centimeter-long pieces of meat on the stone slab quickly. In addition, there were eggs, meat skewers, noodles, and there was no trace of oil smoke.
No.
Hong Tianjiu and others also started to bake on the stone slab that Li Qi prepared for them.
The smell of earth, the fragrance of bamboo tubes, and the aroma of wine from the wine jar mud are combined with the strong fragrance wafting from the stone slabs. This may be the taste of spring. (To be continued. Mobile phone users please go to m. to read.)
