After leaving Aunt Huang's stall, Song Huizong asked: "Li Qi, did you teach them these?"
"Um."
"Then wouldn't the fried noodles you make taste even better?"
Li Qi smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, what I cook is not as delicious as what she cooks."
Everyone was shocked. They knew that Li Qi was the King of Chefs with the Golden Knife. How could he not cook as well as his aunt?
Song Huizong wondered: "Is there something special about this?"
Li Qi nodded and said: "It's a bit particular. As you saw it just now, Senior Official, the method of stir-fried noodles is actually very simple. You can master it after watching it once or twice, but the simpler it is, the more attention is paid to details. For stir-fried noodles,
As far as noodles are concerned, how many times you turn the pot, how much oil you put in, and how many times you stir-fry can all affect the flavor of the noodles. Therefore, using the same materials and the same steps at two stalls, the flavor of the noodles produced will never be the same. If you want
To get your own unique flavor from stir-frying, you must stir fry repeatedly and explore. This takes a long time. When everything becomes a habit, your unique flavor will come out. I rarely see it in a year.
The last time I was fired, it was hard to compare with them.”
"I see, I didn't expect that this small bowl of fried rice noodles has so many details."
Song Huizong nodded slightly, then pointed at the tricks and said, "Then you also taught these signature dishes?"
"Basically, they are, but the new stalls opened later are not."
Song Huizong frowned and said: "Why do you only teach one signature dish to each person? They are all your people anyway, why should you distinguish them so clearly and just teach them all?"
Li Qi replied: "At the beginning, they all worked for me, but now I have completely handed over this stall to them. This is their own business. But it is different from ours in Zuixianju."
In partnership, we provide them with the materials they need every day.”
Wang Fu smiled and said: "Their business is so good, I'm afraid you haven't made less money, right?"
You think I'm the same as you! Li Qi shook his head and said: "If I want to make money, then why should I give this stall to them? That way I can make more money. I just want them to earn their own living and get rich, and I
So we maintain a cooperative relationship with them because we need a lot of materials for Zuixianju, so the prices are very cheap, and we can help them check it. If they buy it themselves, it will be much more expensive."
Everyone nodded frequently, feeling that what Li Qi said was very reasonable.
Li Qi added: "As for why I only teach them one signature dish each, it's because they were refugees before. Although most of them can cook, it's limited to this. If I teach them to cook more than a dozen
It is impossible for them to learn a dish in such a short time. It would be much easier to learn a dish. Moreover, every stall here is so close to each other. You can eat at this table and order dishes there, so
In this way, everyone's income will be balanced, and everyone will not be crowded in the same stall."
Song Huizong smiled, quite satisfied with Li Qi's selfless approach, and said with emotion: "This business is really broad and profound."
Master Li suddenly said: "Huh? The grand master is missing."
Shit! The Grand Master is missing? Everyone was shocked. When they turned around, they saw that Cai Jing was nowhere to be seen. Li Qi felt a little relieved when he saw that Cai Yong was not there either.
Everyone looked around, and Wang Fu suddenly pointed to a stall he passed just now and said, "Isn't that the Grand Master?"
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed and found Cai Jing and Cai Yong, the master and servant, standing at a small stall selling pastries.
Song Huizong was curious and walked back. He happened to see Cai Yong paying the owner of the stall. He also saw Cai Jing turning around with a golden noodle cake in his hand, and he had already bitten off half of it. .
When Cai Jing saw Song Huizong returning, he quickly wiped his mouth and went up to greet him, saying, "Sir, why are you here too?"
Song Huizong said angrily: "We are here to find you. By the way, what are you holding in your hand?"
Cai Jing became more energetic and waved to Cai Yong. The latter opened a piece of oil paper and saw a few golden biscuits with some white sesame seeds on it. Cai Jing smiled and asked, "Master, look. What does this cake look like?”
Song Huizong frowned and said: "Apart from the color, it looks a bit like a crab shell."
Cai Jing said with a smile: "What the official said is right. I was attracted by the shape of this cake just now. When I asked, it turned out that this cake is also called crab shell yellow. It has two flavors: salty and sweet. Laowan I took a bite and found that it still tastes salty and delicious."
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said: "Of course, the salty ones contain crab powder and shrimp, which are Taishi's favorites. However, it's better for Taishi to eat less. In fact, most of the things here are not suitable for Taishi. Master, don't eat too much."
Cai Jing felt another habitual angina pectoris, pointed at Li Qi and said, "You kid, can you please stop spoiling the fun?" Then he turned to Song Huizong and said, "Official, you can see, this kid clearly doesn't take the old man seriously. Even if he comes out rarely, he still has to take care of it."
Song Huizong was already used to it. Seeing Cai Jing so angry, he felt a little gloating. He laughed and said: "I say Yuan Chang, Li Qi is doing it for your own good, so bear with it. Since this thing is not suitable You eat, then let's help you eat a piece." He said and took a piece from Cai Yong's hand.
Wang Fu immediately came forward and said, "Don't be upset, sir, I'll help you later." He said and took a piece.
As soon as he left, Liang Shicheng came up again and said hoarsely: "Mr. Prime Minister, our family is acting under orders. Don't be offended." He said and took a piece.
Wang Zhongling was a young official, but when he heard that he was being ordered to do something, he had to do it even if he didn't want to. His fat body suddenly became strong and strong. He quickly took a piece of cake and immediately hid aside. Li Qingzhao suddenly reached out and took it too. When I saw Cai Jing's depressed expression, I felt a little happy.
After going back and forth, Cai Yong soon only had a piece of oil paper left in his hand.
Cai Jing's face was full of grievances. At this moment, he really wanted to find a place to cry bitterly, or pull Li Qi aside and give him a slap in the face.
"Well, this crab shell roe is really good, full of fragrance, delicious and delicious, and the skin is crispy." Song Huizong took a small bite and said full of praise.
Li Qingzhao also took a bite, nodded slightly, and suddenly chanted: "This disease has a rich aroma and crispy pastry. It's true that I haven't seen a bakery smell the aroma first, and the pastry is dripping in my mouth."
Song Huizong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he clapped his hands and said: "Wonderful, wonderful, this poem really describes the crab shell yellow very vividly. I didn't see the bakery before I smelled the aroma, and the puff pastry came out in my mouth. Haha, No. 1 in Tokyo A talented woman who truly deserves her reputation."
In fact, Li Qingzhao was not showing off, it was an unintentional move. He said modestly: "The high official has given me the reward."
During the conversation, a group of people came to the end of the alley. Li Qi suddenly pointed to a stall next to his mouth and said: "Master, we are here."
Song Huizong turned around and saw that the stall was about the same size, but there was no customer inside. Two square tables were put together, but the strange thing was that there was no stove or spatula in this stall. The most conspicuous thing was the large
Large and small jars. When I looked up again, I saw the word "sauce" written on the sign. I couldn't help but frown and said, "Why did you bring us to this place that sells sauce?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "What the officials don't know is that the name actually hides the word 'cai'."
Song Huizong said: "Pickles?"
Li Qi nodded and said: "Exactly, in the entire food court, this is the only stall that belongs to us, Zuixianju. I personally make these pickles from sauce to pickle, and the taste is evident. I also plan to promote this pickle."
to neighboring countries.”
"Oh? Then I'll try it later."
Several people sat down around the long table.
Li Qi nodded towards the person looking at the stall. He saw the person put on sterilized gloves, opened a jar, quickly grabbed a handful of pickles from it, and then grabbed a handful of pickles from other jars.
Come in one handful.
Song Huizong looked at it and asked curiously: "You seem to be very particular about the way you prepare pickles?"
"The official has really good eyesight." Li Qi flattered him fiercely, and then said: "Yes, in order to ensure the pure taste of pickles, the requirements for the sales process are also very strict. The pickles must be stored in the sauce vat, and the quantity sold out of the vat is
How much, from the time it comes out of the vat to the customer's hands, it must be completed within a very short time, so that the customer can taste the most delicious and authentic Li-style pickles."
"Lee's pickles, haha, interesting, interesting."
Song Huizong laughed and said, "Then I want to try it even more."
After a while, the man came over with a large bowl of pickles, put the pickles on the table, and said: "Guests, please use it with your leisure."
But I saw that the bowl was mainly made of sauce yellow, with green, green, red, white, purple, and gray decorations. It was colorful and extremely attractive. Its shapes were strips, silk, dices, corners, blocks, and slices.
What can be seen at a glance are cucumbers, walnuts, white radish slices, and chive flowers. They look smooth and translucent, making everyone want to taste them.
A strong aroma of soy sauce surrounds the table. Every time I smell it, I close my eyes and inhale deeply. It is so fragrant.
Song Huizong didn't say much, and nodded slightly. Liang Shicheng immediately scooped some with a spoon and put it into the small bowl in front of Song Huizong. Song Huizong first tasted a small piece, and then tasted a long cucumber strip.
It got out of hand. The more he ate, the more delicious it became. In an instant, he ate up the small bowl of pickles and praised: "Li Qi, your pickles are really delicious and pure, sweet, salty, tender and crisp."
, coupled with the rich and fragrant sauce, there is no pickle in the world that can compare with it." As he said this, he was still not finished and quickly waved towards Liang Shicheng.
Liang Shicheng immediately filled another bowl for him, and Song Huizong said: "You can eat too."
Everyone started to use their chopsticks. That's the bad thing about eating with the emperor. You have to ask him to speak before you can eat.
You don’t know the taste if you don’t taste it, but once you taste it, you won’t be able to stop eating it. Especially the three women, who are mainly vegetarians, especially love this pickle.
Li Qi saw that Cai Jing was an old man who had turned his grief and anger into food. He smiled and said, "Master, these pickles have high nutritional value. You can eat more."
Cai Jing was eating happily, but when he heard what Li Qi said, he almost shed tears again. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
