Why does this Hunjun smile so weirdly? No, it should be so ambiguous. [Supreme Divine Power]
Li Qi's heart tightened and he and Feng Yinu looked at each other, then they both snorted at the same time and asked at the same time: "What's the matter (what's the matter)?"
"You two really have a tacit understanding. This is good, this is good." Song Huizong laughed, stroking his beard and said: "That's it. This time when the army returns, at the celebration banquet, in addition to delicious food, there are also dancing and singing.
It is also indispensable that I still remember the dance that you two danced at the Taishi Mansion last time, so I want you to dance it again. It just so happens that neither Tong Taiwei nor Liang Xuanfu has seen this kind of dance before.
So that they can open their eyes.”
In fact, Li Qi didn't know that the waltz he accidentally danced with Feng Yinu last time gave him a lot of points in the heart of Song Huizong. When Song Huizong chose his ministers, his talent came second, and the key factors were appearance, temperament, and
Artistic talent, these three are the most important. People like Wang Fu, Li Bangyan, and Cai Jing, when they were young, none of them were first-class handsome guys. Even the eunuch Tong Guan was not far behind in appearance.
If Li Qisheng was like Cai Minde, no matter how delicious his dishes were, Song Huizong probably wouldn't think so highly of him.
What kind of emperor is surrounded by what kind of ministers? Cai Jing, Wang Fu, Tong Guan and others all have no ability, but they all understand that it is useless to show your true ability. You must surrender to the emperor, otherwise you will definitely be killed.
So everything Cai Jing and the others did was to cater to Song Huizong. Of course, the same was true for Li Qi.
"ah!"
"no!"
Three voices sounded at the same time.
Li Qi was totally unwilling. One reason was that he was still angry with Feng Yinu, and the other was that he really didn't want to dance. It was too tiring.
Feng Yinu just exclaimed reflexively. In fact, if she was given a chance to choose, she would not go because she finally got out of this circle. But seeing Li Qi's opposition so firmly, she couldn't help frowning and lowering her head.
Silent.
The two parties concerned should have reacted, but Gao Yanei also shouted anxiously, which made people feel a little incredible. Song Huizong said angrily and funny: "Kang'er, why did you say no?"
Gao Yanei made a sound, scratched his head and said: "My nephew just thinks that Li Qi's dancing steps are just like that, and he is not as good as my nephew. Instead of letting Li Qi go, it is better to let my nephew go."
This is definitely the most shameless self-recommendation.
I'm not very good at dancing? How can you be so good? Li Qi was so angry that he didn't even have the mood to talk.
Song Huizong wondered: "Are you going?"
Gao Yanei chuckled and said, "If Uncle Zhao agrees, my nephew is willing to dance with Lady Feng to cheer up Uncle Zhao."
If Brother Qiu were here, he would have slapped him in the face.
Li Shishi couldn't help but glance at Feng Yinu. She thought that if Feng Yinu didn't want to, help her talk to Song Huizong, but Feng Yinu didn't look at her at all, lowered his head and didn't say anything. She was a little confused.
, I can only deal with the idiot Gao Yanei first, and said with a slight smile: "Yanei, I don't think it's appropriate for you to dance this mop-up dance with Sister Feng. Because it will damage the prestige of Yanei."
Gao Yanei said in astonishment: "Where do you start talking about this? My dancing skills are much better than Li Qi's. Even if Lady Feng makes a mistake, I can still make up for it."
Li Qi gritted his teeth and smiled: "Yamen, are you still immersed in bragging and unable to extricate yourself?"
Gao Yanei hummed: "Don't be unconvinced, how about we compete?"
He's taller than you. Li Qi shook his head and said nothing.
This is really a living treasure. Master Li couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Actually, what I'm talking about is not the dancing skills, but the height. I have also dabbled in the mopping dance, and found that the height must be matched to look good. You and Sister Feng in Yanei
They are about the same height, but you look a little shorter, and your temperament doesn't match. If you match them together, it will be self-defeating."
Master Li really has a way of deceiving these idiots from a professional point of view. Li Qi nodded secretly. If Gao Yanei and Feng Yinu were to dance, it would indeed be like a sister holding a younger brother. There would be no sense of beauty at all.
Gao Yanei was not thick-skinned. He simply regarded shame as nothing, and said shamelessly: "That's not just right. One is tall and the other is short."
Li Shishi felt a little headache and said: "But the dance itself is divided into men and women."
Hong Tianjiu said in a supportive tone: "But with Lady Feng being so tall, it would be difficult to find a man to match her."
Gao Yanei nodded vigorously and said: "That's right, that's right."
This is absolutely true. Feng Yinu's height of over 1.7 meters is considered outstanding among ancient women. Among the women Li Qi has seen, Zhao Jingyan and Yelu Guxu are probably the only ones who can compare with her.
Having said this, everyone's eyes turned to Li Qi. Indeed, no matter in terms of age, temperament, or height, Li Qi was undoubtedly the best match for Feng Yinu.
Song Huizong never thought of letting Gao Yanei go and said: "Kang'er, please stop making unreasonable troubles here. Li Qi, it's you."
Damn it! After going around and around, why did it come to my side again? I didn’t say a word! Li Qiwei said: "Master, I still have to cook. You forgot that you gave me the food you gave me not long ago."
Is it my mission?"
Song Huizong smiled and said: "Don't worry, of course I will wait until you have tasted Wuxiang before I can appreciate your mopping dance."
I admire your sister. Li Qi said depressedly: "But doing that Wuxiang requires a lot of energy. I'm afraid that I won't be able to do it. Otherwise, I will find another woman to dance with Lady Feng."
Song Huizong began to feel a little displeased and said: "I have seen this dance of oil-lubricating girls dancing together, but I found that it is not as good as the male-male dancing. Although there are dancers specializing in oil-lubricating dances in the palace now, although they are paired with men and women, but compared to
There is still a lot of difference between you and Lady Feng."
Li Qiwei said: "But I am also a third-grade official now, so maybe it's not good."
Wang Fu laughed and said: "What's the harm? This dance is as famous as the poem. The eldest son of the Duke and I also danced it when we were young."
What he said is absolutely true. Song Huizong was an artistic emperor. How could you be a minister by his side if you don’t have any artistic skills? There are records in the history books, saying that Song Huizong held a banquet in the palace.
, Wang Fu and Cai You actually pretended to be clowns and sneaked in to dance with the dancers, which made Bo Longyan smile. Later, they were discovered by Song Huizong. Instead of blaming them, they praised them greatly. It can only be said that Song Huizong
He was a very strange emperor.
Moreover, it was not unusual for men to dance in the Song Dynasty. Everyone in the literary circles like Su Shi could dance. After all, singing and dancing were very popular in the Song Dynasty.
No way. Your mother is not fooling me, right? You and Cai You can also dance. It’s so disgusting. Li Qi couldn’t help but shudder and wanted to say more, but Song Huizong glared back.
He looked at Feng Yinu again, as if to say, okay, now that all my reasons have been refuted, it's your turn to show off. It's easier for you to speak while Master Li is here.
But Feng Yinu now saw that Li Qi was pushing him away in every possible way, and she also caught the fleeting disgusted expression on Li Qi's face just now. She thought that Li Qi felt sick because of the thought of dancing with her.
An inexplicable anger rushed up, but his mind was blank. He placed his fists tightly clenched under the table and remained silent.
When Li Qi saw that Feng Yinu was silent, he couldn't figure out the situation and thought to himself. This woman is really strange. She even used a cup to drive me away, but then she became silent again at the critical moment. What a mess. Seeing Song Huizong again
Looking at him angrily, knowing that Song Huizong had reached the critical point of explosion, he quickly nodded and said: "Thanks to the great love of the officials, I will show my shame."
After the matter was discussed, everyone continued to brag and drink, the frequency became faster and faster, and everyone was dizzy. Although Li Qi did not drink, the bitter tea also made him drunk, and he even vomited.
It felt like my tongue had lost all feeling, and there was so much hatred in my heart.
++++++++++++
When Li Qi hung Wu Xiang on the ceiling beam of Zuixianju, it was definitely not a gimmick. After all, he also said that basic integrity is still required in business, and he was not doing a one-time deal.
However, since Wu Xiang can be the emperor, it is not a simple matter for the empress and the biggest couple in the world. Calculating the days, there is really not much time left for Li Qi, so he still has to prepare quickly.
That afternoon, Li Qi rushed to the imperial dining room after lunch.
As soon as he entered the door, before he could see the person clearly, Zuo Boqing came over to greet him and said haha: "I was wondering when you would come, Brother Li. I didn't expect it to be so soon. It seems that the formless
It’s really a headache.”
Li Qi said angrily: "Brother Zuo, you could just set up a stall and tell fortunes."
"How do you say this?"
"Damn! You've got this right. We'll be very busy in the future. I don't know why you're so happy?"
Zuo Boqing chuckled and said: "To be honest, when I heard that the emperor called the celebration banquet the Wuxiang Banquet, I was so happy that I couldn't sleep. After waiting for so long, I could finally witness the birth of the Wuxiang with my own eyes.
No matter how hard it is, it’s worth it.”
"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you."
Zuo Boqing said nervously: "No way, brother Li, this can't be a joke. When the time comes, the emperor, the civil and military officials of the court, and the harem will all be watching your shamelessness, and they must not make any mistakes."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Okay, don't be nervous. Since I took it, I'm sure."
Zuo Boqing patted his chest and said, "You really scared me to death. Let's go upstairs and talk."
The two came to Zuo Boqing's dedicated lounge. Zuo Boqing enthusiastically poured a cup of hot tea for Li Qi, and then sat in front of Li Qi with his back straight, like a primary school student, eager to learn, and said: "
Brother, what kind of dish is your Wuxiang dish?"
Li Qi didn't hide anything this time and said truthfully: "Soup."
"Soup?"
Li Qi nodded and said seriously: "Actually, Wuxiang is just a soup."
"So many ingredients just to make a bowl of soup?" Zuo Boqing asked in surprise.
Li Qi asked back: "Then according to what Brother Zuo said, besides making soup, can so many ingredients be used to make anything else?"
Zuo Boqing was stunned for a moment, and felt that what he said made sense. He nodded and said, "Yes! I should have thought of it a long time ago." After a pause, he said again: "Then tell me how to do this without phase.
.”
Li Qi didn't answer but asked: "Brother Zuo, what do you think is Tang's taboo?"
"Taboo?"
Zuo Boqing pondered for a moment and said, "Of course it's greasy and smells bad."
"To be precise, it's oily, greasy, and smelly." Li Qi smiled and asked: "Brother Zuo, does he know where these three things come from?"
Zuo Boqing said: "Of course during the stewing process, the oil on the animals, as well as the foam and residue suspended in the soup."
Li Qi nodded and said: "Yes. In fact, the preparation of raw materials for making soup is only secondary. After all, there are only a few of them. The key is to remove oil, debris, and odor. When making soup, the raw materials and water must be heated simultaneously.
, never add cold water to it, as this will help the nutrients contained in animal raw materials and some umami substances to be fully dissolved in the soup. However, some things cannot be dissolved in the soup, so they float in the water.
Such as grease and some residues, which need to be removed manually. This is the so-called soup making technology, but it is difficult to completely remove, and it cannot be completely removed. All we can do is to minimize the odor in the soup.
It’s greasy. It’s impossible to cover it up completely.”
Zuo Boqing nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. When we make soup, we usually choose the freshest raw materials, and rarely use sheep or cows, because the soup made with sheep and cows has a lot of
Unless you want to specifically make mutton soup or beef bone soup, it is used." At this point, he suddenly shook his head and said: "I'm very good at making soup. Your soup-making skills are much better than mine."
"Brother Zuo is too modest." Li Qi smiled modestly and said seriously: "And the first trick of Wuxiang is here. I have said before that the trick of Wuxiang is to take the essence and remove the chaff. Here's
To 'go' is to completely remove all factors that affect the quality of the soup, leaving no trace."
"Completely removed?" Zuo Boqing asked in surprise.
"That's right." Li Qi nodded and asked: "Brother Zuo, do you still remember the phaseless material?"
Zuo Boqing thought for a while, felt a headache, and said, "I don't remember very clearly."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Let's put it this way, what do you think would happen if we put those ingredients in one pot and boiled them into soup?"
Zuo Boqing shook his head and said, "How can I eat it?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "That's right. If you follow the ordinary soup making method, you won't be able to eat it at all, but if you only keep the substances that can be completely dissolved in the soup, that's not necessarily the case. If we stew chicken soup, just one chicken,
If you use the Wuxiang method, the soup will be bland and tasteless. But if you use fifty chickens, it will be very delicious."
Zuo Boqing nodded as if he understood, and said: "But with so many ingredients, it would be impossible to cook them all in one pot. Not to mention whether there is such a big pot, even if there is one, it will not be cooked at all.
"
Li Qi smiled and said: "I didn't say we should share a pot. This is the second secret of Wuxiang. In fact, Wuxiang's seasoning is different from ordinary soup. Its seasoning is also soup."
"Ah? Use soup as seasoning." Zuo Boqing became more and more curious as he listened.
Li Qi snorted and said: "Wuxiang is made up of nine kinds of soups, including one main soup and eight seasoning soups. The main soup can only contain the umami flavor of the raw materials, and no salt or other condiments can be added, such as The electrolyte of salt---how to put this, salt can solidify some substances and prevent the full analysis of some umami substances in food, but it cannot be tasted without salt, so seasoning is needed to absorb the flavor of the seasoning, and then Then go to seasoning. In other words, you need to divide all the materials into nine parts and boil them into nine kinds of soup. But if you want to satisfy these two points, firstly, you need a special boiler, and in addition, there is a special tool."
Zuo Boqing said: "What tool."
Li Qi was about to tell him when someone outside the door suddenly said: "Master Manager, Mr. Hua is here."
"Flower father-in-law? What is he here for?"
Zuo Boqing was stunned for a moment, then said: "Please ask Mr. Hua to wait for a moment, I will come soon."
"yes."
After the man left, Zuo Boqing smiled bitterly at Li Qi and said, "Brother Li, you are in trouble!"
Li Qi was surprised and said: "Brother Zuo, please don't talk nonsense. Eunuchs and I are usually insulated, so why bother?"
"Do you know who this flower father-in-law is?"
"Shemale---oh no, eunuch."
Zuo Boqing rolled his eyes and said, "Who asked you this? I'm asking you, do you know who this flower father-in-law belongs to?"
"How do I know this? Among the eunuchs, I only know Liang Taiwei and Tong Taiwei." Li Qi said speechlessly, who has nothing to do to observe the eunuchs? Isn't this a mental disorder?
