Chapter 580: Twenty-Four Bridges, Moonlit Night (Part 2)
"Then what should we do? You promised the Grand Master and the guests that you would make this Twenty-four Bridges for them to try on a moonlit night tomorrow." Feng Yinu couldn't help but have a worried look on his face. In fact, in the morning
When she arrived, she had already noticed something strange about Li Qi's expression. It was precisely because of this that she came over overnight to have a look.
Li Qi sighed and said, "Isn't that what I was thinking about?"
Seeing Li Qi's sad face, Feng Yinu pretended to be relaxed and said: "Even so, how can this simple dish not impress you, the Golden Knife Chef?"
"Simple?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "To say it is simple, it can only be said that the materials are simple, but do you know that the simpler the materials, the more difficult it is to make. Anyone can make abalone fin belly, no matter how bad the taste is.
It’s not too bad, but it’s not easy to make something delicious like eggs and tofu. Moreover, the most difficult thing about this dish is the combination of artistic conception and reality.”
"The combination of artistic conception and reality?"
Li Qi nodded and said, "That's right. Do you know the origin of the name of this dish?"
Feng Yinu smiled and said: "Of course I know that this was written by Du Mu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, and the poem is called "To Judge Han Chuo of Yangzhou"."
Li Qi asked again: "What do you think of this poem?"
Feng Yinu smiled and said: "This poem has a beautiful artistic conception, is clear and handsome, and full of interest. It is naturally a good work."
Li Qi then pointed to the Twenty-Four Bridges on a Moonlit Night made by Wu Xiaoliu and said, "Do you think this dish is beautiful?"
Feng Yinu shook her head and smiled slightly: "This dish definitely doesn't look like it was made by Huang Rong. Instead, it looks like it was made by Sha Tongtian and Peng Lianhu." After saying that, she couldn't help but giggle.
Li Qi couldn't help but laugh too, and then sighed heavily and said: "Then you now know why I am in trouble. If you pursue the taste blindly, you may lose the artistic conception, but if you pursue the artistic conception blindly, maybe you will lose it.
Without the taste, you really can’t have your cake and eat it too.”
Feng Yinu nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly said: "But I think that the so-called artistic conception comes from the whim, and arises according to the situation. If it is deliberately created, it will seem a bit delicate and artificial. Since you want to pursue the artistic conception, why bother to stick to it?
Story?"
Li Qi raised his eyebrows and looked at Feng Yinu blankly.
Feng Yinu's face turned red when Li Qi saw him, and he said shyly: "What are you looking at me for?"
Li Qi was slightly startled. He didn't seem to hear what Feng Yinu just said, and said seriously: "You are right, I just value the descriptions in the book so much that I am bound by them. No wonder I always felt that I couldn't do anything just now.
If it's just tofu and ham, where will this delicious flavor come from? I can definitely add a third ingredient. But what ingredient can combine the two without overpowering the show?" he said at this point.
I couldn't help but fall into deep thought again.
Feng Yinu glanced at Li Qi secretly. Seeing that he was thinking seriously, he didn't dare to disturb him. He glanced at him again, and a sly smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The two of them stayed in this state for about one stick of incense.
"fish!"
Li Qi suddenly exclaimed. There was a trace of excitement between his brows.
Feng Yinu was startled, and it took him a while to recover, and asked curiously: "What did you say?"
Li Qi laughed proudly and said: "I think I know how to cook this Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night."
After Feng Yinu heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "How to do it?"
"that is."
As he spoke, Li Qi suddenly glanced out the window. He smiled and said, "Forget it, it's getting late today, I'd better take you back first."
How could Feng Yinu be willing to leave just like that? "Since it's already so late, it would be a little too unkind for you to drive me away like this."
Li Qi smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, I still have to prepare some materials, so I have to wait until tomorrow to do it."
"tomorrow?"
"Um."
Feng Yinu said with a hint of surprise: "Don't you try making it first?"
Li Qi smiled confidently: "You just said that the so-called artistic conception is that it arises according to the mood. In this case, why should I do it again first? Did Du Mu also type it first when he wrote that poem?
Did you go through a draft?"
Feng Yinu's eyes lit up, he nodded slightly and said: "You are right. However, I am really looking forward to your twenty-four bridges on a moonlit night."
Li Qi chuckled: "Then you have to come early tomorrow."
"sure."
.
The next morning, when ordinary people were preparing to welcome a new day, Bianhe Street was already busy with traffic and countless pedestrians passing by.
This kind of situation often happens in Bianhe Street recently, but it usually happens when a new chapter of the Condor Heroes is released. However, it is very strange to know that the new chapter was released yesterday and it is still the same today.
.
The reason is naturally because Li Qi had already announced yesterday that he would cook the Twenty-Four Bridges on the Bright Moon Night today. It is very rare for Li Qi to be a chef nowadays, and the dish he is going to make today is really the most popular dish at the moment.
The dishes in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the two are superimposed together, and the influence can be imagined.
Not to mention the regular patrons of Zuixianju, even Mrs. Qin, Wu Furong, Cai Minde, Fan Shaobai and others came here one after another to have a taste of the Twenty-Four Bridges on a Moonlit Night.
The morning tea time has not passed yet, and Zuixianju is already full. Although Li Qi did not specifically say when it will be ready, Zuixianju is so big. If you go there late, there will be no wèizhi. The current situation has confirmed this.
Their choice was not wrong.
Unknowingly, it was already morning, but there was still no movement in the kitchen, and because the kitchen door was locked from the inside, no one knew what was going on inside.
"Ouch, why isn't Brother Li better yet? I'm starving to death."
Hong Tianjiu lay on the table, moaning carelessly.
Zhou Hua looked at the table full of refreshments and said angrily: "Xiaojiu, there is so much food on the table. Since you are hungry, you should eat some first."
Hong Tianjiu hummed: "What do you know? This is called delusional delicacy. Brother Li taught me this."
"As if I didn't say that."
"What is Li Qi doing? I'm really worried."
Gao Yanei walked around the table and kept mumbling.
Chai Cong was dizzy when he turned around and said, "I'm talking to Yanei, can you sit down and stop wandering around here?"
Gao Yanei stopped and said, "Okay. Then ask Li Qi to open the kitchen."
Chai Cong waved his hand and said, "You'd better keep spinning."
Gao Yanei curled his lips and hummed: "Be careful, I'll give you a move like a flying dragon flying in the sky."
At this moment, an idle man squeezed in and whispered a few words in Gao Yanei's ear.
Gao Yanei was surprised and said: "Is this true?"
The man nodded and said, "Yes. We'll be there soon."
Gao Yanei quickly lifted up his front shirt and ran towards the door with a bang.
But when he ran to the door, he saw a small group of people coming in. The three leaders were Gao Qiu, Bai Shizhong, and Wang Zhongling. Behind them were seven or eight guards.
When the guests saw it, they hurriedly stepped aside.
"Dad, you're here early. There's no movement from Li Qi at all." Gao Yanei said with a depressed look on his face.
Gao Qiu rolled his eyes at him, and suddenly there was a burst of laughter from upstairs, "Lieutenant, right minister, and Wang Shilang, you are well."
I saw Cai Jing coming down from upstairs.
"Master."
The three of them bowed their hands and returned the greeting.
Cai Jing walked up to them and lowered his voice: "I heard that that person is here too?"
Gao Qiu nodded slightly and said, "We'll be there in a minute. Let's go up and talk."
As they talked, they walked upstairs.
Just after a while, several more people came. The first one was Song Huizong who was visiting privately incognito. Liang Shicheng and Zuo Boqing followed him. Since Gao Qiu and others had already cleared the way, except for Gao Yanei and others, the others
Didn't pay much attention to it.
"Oh, there are so many people."
Song Huizong glanced at it, smiled slightly, and then walked straight upstairs.
Liang Shicheng stopped Gao Yanei from coming forward to flatter him with a wink, and then followed Song Huizong upstairs.
The private room in heaven and earth where several people arrived.
Cai Jing and others hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"No need to be polite." Song Huizong waved his hand and asked with a smile: "I shouldn't be late, right?"
Cai Jing smiled bitterly and said: "The high-ranking officials must also know about that boy's personality. How could he easily let us see the true face of that dish in Lushan?"
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."
Song Huizong chuckled and said proudly: "It just so happened that I haven't had time to watch a section of The Legend of the Condor Heroes that just came out, so now I'm just watching and waiting."
Cai Jing was surprised and said: "Do high-ranking officials also like this story?"
Song Huizong nodded and said: "Yes. The writing is quite interesting, and the style is also unique. I have been following it."
Cai Jing frowned slightly and said with a smile: "The boy's story is quite good, but there are some parts that are too bold and not well thought out. After all, he is still young."
Song Huizong laughed and said: "The grand master is talking about the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms?"
Cai Jing was stunned and said: "Does the official already know?" In fact, when he saw the latest section yesterday, he wanted to tell Li Qi about it, but he was distracted by the twenty-four bridges on a bright moon night.
Forgot to say.
Song Huizong nodded and said: "Grand Master, please don't underestimate him. He has always been impeccable in his work. In fact, he had already mentioned this matter to me a few days ago and also explained to me the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon.
means, the names of the moves in it are all taken from the Book of Changes, and subduing the dragon means that when the golden dragon appears, the four directions will surrender. I allowed him to write it like this."
This kid is really smart. He can explain everything, which makes me worry about him for nothing. Cai Jing cupped his hands and said with a smile: "After the official said this, I understand why Li Qi wants to subdue the dragon in the Eighteenth Eighteenth Night."
The palm writing is so fierce, indestructible, and full of domineering, it really has the demeanor of a king."
Song Huizong burst out laughing.
A few people talked about this story for a while, and Song Huizong picked up the story weekly that came out yesterday and started reading it.
The rest of the people saw that Song Huizong was looking at it with great interest, so they did not dare to say anything and sipped the tea quietly.
After a while, Song Huizong finally finished reading the chapter "Kang Long Yougui" and said with a smile: "I see, no wonder there are so many people waiting outside. Before I read this section, I was still interested in this dish.
I'm not really looking forward to it, but now it really feels like I've seen the Twenty-Four Bridges on a bright moonlit night." As he said that, he raised his eyes to look at the sky again, and saw that it was almost noon, he frowned and said, "Why isn't it better yet?"
Before he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting from below: "Come out, come out, the Twenty-Four Bridge has come out on a bright moonlit night."
Song Huizong and others couldn't help but feel inspired. They quickly got up and went to the window. They felt that they couldn't see clearly from such a distance, so the group of people hurriedly walked downstairs.
When they arrived at the lobby on the first floor, they happened to see Li Qi, Wu Xiaoliu and others walking out of the kitchen. What was surprising was that Feng Yinu was also following them.
I saw Wu Xiaoliu and Chen Xiaozhu walking in front pushing a large wooden cart. There was a stove under the wooden cart, and on top of the wooden cart was a large iron cover, which was almost as big as a large footbath.
When everyone saw it, they were all curious and expecting in their hearts.
"Oh, brother, you finally came out."
Hong Tianjiu and others quickly gathered around.
Gao Yanei said impatiently: "Let me wait and see first."
Li Qi hurriedly fended them off and said: "You guys, please don't mess around, lest you ruin this dish, especially you, Yanei, you have internal strength, be careful to damage my dish."
When Gao Yanei heard what he said, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and quickly stepped aside.
Feng Yinu on the side smiled slightly and thought to himself, this person is really powerful, he could eat Gao Yanei to death with just two words that seemed to be nonsense.
Li Qi pushed the car down to the middle, cupped his hands to everyone and said, "I feel really guilty for keeping you all waiting for so long, but the process of Twenty-Four Bridges on Moonlight Night is complicated, and my abilities are extremely limited, so I can only make this dish."
, I hope everyone can forgive me."
The implication is that some people may not be able to eat it.
When everyone heard this, they knew that there was nothing they could do about it. They all used Ah Q's spirit and thought, even if they don't want to eat, they might as well take a look.
Suddenly I heard someone say: "We will talk about this later. Please lift the cover quickly so that I can feast my eyes on it."
Li Qixun went out to see Song Huizong. Gao Qiu and others were here. He hurriedly raised his hands to say hello, but before he could say anything, Song Huizong said: "Hurry up and lift the cover, I don't want to wait any longer."
.”
The emperor had already spoken, and Li Qi didn't dare to whet his appetite anymore. He nodded, and then gestured towards Wu Xiaoliu and Chen Xiaozhu.
Wu and Chen nodded, one person held two cold handkerchiefs and put them on his palms, and then reached out to pick up the iron cover. As soon as a crack was exposed, a thick white mist appeared.
come out.
When the two completely removed the iron cover, there was a cloud of white mist under the iron cover. The smoke was so thick that nothing else could be seen. Suddenly, a strange fragrance filled the air along with the white mist.
Song Huizong, Cai Jing and others were all shocked and looked at each other. They opened their mouths at the same time and were about to speak when they suddenly heard the guy in Gao Yanei suddenly shouted: "Bridge, bridge."
The voice was full of shock.
Song Huizong and others quickly turned around and saw an arched bridge looming in the white mist, with a slight flicker of white light, like a dream, which coincided with the artistic conception of the Twenty-Four Bridges on a Moonlit Night.
Everyone was shocked. (To be continued...)
ps: Since there is a small house moving tomorrow, I have to go over there early tonight to help. It is necessary to stay up all night. It is said to be to increase the popularity. I don’t know very well. I guess it is just gathering people to gamble, and there will be a wedding banquet at noon tomorrow.
, I guess I don’t have time to type, so I will quickly type out a chapter tonight, but please don’t worry, the number of words will definitely not be short. It should be distributed in the early morning.
