Chapter six hundred and fiftieth when tolerance is tolerance
The emergence of this goblet can definitely be regarded as a major breakthrough, and it also makes Li Qi full of confidence in the transparent world in the future. Moreover, with this glass, it will be difficult for the Song Dynasty not to make a fortune.
But then again, the goblet is just a flashy thing with no real function. For now, the telescope and beaker are the ones that can best demonstrate the function of glass.
Obviously, the last thing drawn in the little notebook was the lens of the telescope. Li Qi never thought about using a telescope to see the stars. He just wanted a telescope that could play a role on the battlefield, and that was enough. And the emergence of beakers and test tubes can
It is also particularly important to take the research and development work further. The raw materials contained in the linen bag are the raw materials for developing the beaker.
Next, Li Qi discussed with them the focus of their future work and personally explained some R&D difficulties to them.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Before leaving, Li Qi took a thick cloth bag and slammed it on the ground. Every time he swung it, Zheng Quan and the others felt a jolt in their hearts, as if the cloth bag had hit them.
However, Li Qi didn't seem to be relieved, so he added a few more kicks, then threw the cloth bag to Zheng Quan and said with a smile: "Take it and recycle it."
Zheng Quan nodded and looked at the cloth bag with tears in his eyes.
Li Qi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go back first."
Back at Qin Mansion, Li Qi rested for a while, had dinner, took a shower, changed into clean clothes and a pair of leather boots, and rushed to the appointment.
When they arrived at Li Shishi's attic, Feng Yinu and Li Shishi were already waiting there. Li Shishi was as usual, with light makeup and a white dress, but with that face, he could wear it or not. But Feng Yinu
But she seems to have been dressed up, her eyebrows are slender, her black hair is curled up, a small braid is crossing her forehead, with an emerald green gemstone pinned to it, and her favorite flaming red dress is her favorite, which makes people fascinated.
Youdao says that people are in high spirits when happy events happen. Li Qi was really happy today. The two of them smiled and said hello, and for the first time, he gave Feng Yinu a sincere smile.
The two women looked at each other, wary. This kind of sincere smile was rare on Li Qi's face. There must be something fishy.
Li Qi, a smart person, could tell what they were thinking at a glance, but he didn't care. He was so confused. Master Li smiled and said, "I wonder if Master Li's preparations for the Wuxiang Banquet are so good?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Thanks to Miss Shishi's concern, everything is fine."
Master Li nodded and said, "That's good."
Li Qi smiled at Feng Yinu again and said, "Ms. Feng, how have you been practicing recently?"
Based on the principle of reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, Feng Yinu smiled slightly and said: "The little girl's talent is mediocre, and only hard work can make up for her weakness. However, you were right what you said the other day. Wearing high heels to dance is indeed much prettier."
The words are thorny!
This woman really holds a grudge! Li Qi spread his hands and said: "It goes without saying that I have always had good taste, and I have always been at the forefront of fashion. Just like you, at least three of them are made by me.
Oh no, I invented it."
This man couldn't say a few serious words and started talking nonsense again. Feng Yinu's face turned slightly red. He seemed to be offended by Li Qiyan, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "If you are ready, let's get started."
"Wow! No need to be so anxious. It can't be---hehe." Li Qi laughed a few times.
A flash of panic flashed in Feng Yinu's eyes, but he said calmly: "You came here just to practice dancing. Could it be that you came to us to chat?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "That's right, that's right, let's get started."
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Yinu stood up from the chair. Li Qi couldn't help but take a step back, and a strong pressure hit his face.
With his tall figure and long hair pulled up high, he looks even taller than Li Qi. His tall breasts and slender legs are well-proportioned. This is simply a masterpiece of God.
Sweat! Fortunately, it's me, Li Qi. If I were Gao Yanei, there would be no beauty. It would be like the interaction between a child and an adult. Li Qi couldn't help but be surprised, this woman is too tall and is really difficult to control.
As for dance music, Ji Hongnu came up with it a long time ago, and Li Qi just danced a familiar song from it.
After a while, after the servants cleared the tables and chairs in the middle of the room, Li Qi and Feng Yinu came to the middle of the room, while Li Shishi sat in the upper right corner and played the piano with his ten fingers.
Li Qi stretched out a hand, and Feng Yinu put his hand on it naturally this time. The two of them had had more intimate contact before, so it didn't matter at all. Since the two were old partners, it was also
Without any warm-up action, the piano sounded and the two started dancing in the room.
The lingering music of the piano, the yellowish lights, the elegant and unrestrained dancing, the handsome men and beauties, everything is so beautiful.
Master Li looked at the two people in the room with a hint of envy in his eyes.
"ah---!"
An exclamation suddenly sounded, breaking this beautiful scene, and the sound of the piano suddenly stopped.
Master Li stopped in a hurry and blurted out: "Sister, what's wrong?"
Li Qi suddenly bent down and grinned: "Ms. Feng, you stepped on my foot. What's your name? Ouch..., these high heels are really deadly. You didn't do it on purpose, did you?"
A sly light flashed across Feng Yinu's beautiful eyes, but it only passed by in a flash. He said in a panic: "I'm sorry, I--I really didn't mean it. Are you okay?"
Master Li also came over and asked with concern: "Master Li, are you okay? I think Sister Feng really didn't do it on purpose. You don't know that when I was practicing with her a few days ago, she stepped on her so hard that I couldn't walk.
, and she herself also sprained her ankle and it was swollen for two or three days."
Li Qi said in surprise: "Really? Then I'm really sorry for you, sin, sin, I'm fine, don't worry." He rubbed the instep of his feet, stood up, jumped a few times, and said: "Let's continue
.”
He--he apologized to us instead? Feng Yinu and Li Shishi looked at each other with confusion in each other's eyes. This was so unlike Li Qi's style.
However, Feng Yinu did not suffer less from Li Qi and became even more vigilant.
But Li Qiquan acted as if everything had been released, and jumped up meticulously.
"Ouch... why did you step on me again? It's okay, it's okay. It's your first time to dance in high heels. I can understand."
"It hurts! Forget it, I'll just rub it."
"Hey... I'm fine, your foot isn't sprained - no - then I can rest assured. You must be careful when wearing high heels. It doesn't matter if you step on me. Don't twist you."
"
"ah....."
"oh....."
After jumping down for more than an hour, Li Qi was kicked by Feng Yinu at least ten times. You must know that these are not the cloth shoes before, but high heels made of pure wood. But Li Qi not only did not lose his temper, nor did he retaliate. He even
He didn't even kick him back. Instead, he endured the pain and looked at whether Feng Yinu had sprained his ankle.
What is professionalism? This is professionalism.
"Phew! It's finally over."
After finishing the dance, Li Qi collapsed directly on the chair, gasping for air.
Feng Yinu said with a hint of guilt: "Is your foot okay?"
Li Qi waved his hand and said: "I guess it's just a few broken bones. It's not a problem. I can just go home and pick them up."
Feng Yinu said suspiciously: "It's not that serious, right?"
"Oh! You don't need to feel guilty. This is something you have to go through. Just be careful next time. It doesn't matter if a man suffers a little grievance." Li Qi shook his head, acted very grandly, and said to Li Shishi: "Miss Shishi,
You should have some topical medicine here."
Master Li hurriedly said: "Yes, yes. I will ask someone to get it for you."
Soon, the medicinal materials were brought. Li Qi took the medicinal materials and said, "Thank you, Miss Master. It's getting late. I'll take my leave now and come back tomorrow."
Master Li glanced at Li Qi worriedly, nodded and said, "Master Li, walk slowly." There was a hint of guilt in his tone.
"Don't worry. It won't be fast."
Li Qi gave a wry smile, stood up with his hands on the handrails, raised his toes, and limped out with only his heels on the ground.
Feng Yinu and Li Shishi watched Li Qi walk out in such a strange posture, and they didn't react for a long time.
Li Qi today is really abnormal.
Suddenly, Master Li frowned and glanced at Feng Yinu, complaining: "Okay, are you satisfied now? I am a good person, but you have tortured me like this. But you see, I didn't say half a word about you, right?"
, I’m still trying to find excuses for you, you’re a big boy, how come you’re still like a child.”
Feng Yinu was slightly startled, pointed to the door in horror, and said, "Is it Li Qi who just went out?"
Li Shishi rolled his eyes and said, "Then who do you mean? Could it be that it's still a ghost?"
Feng Yinu frowned and said: "This--this is impossible, he---how could he just leave like that?"
"Could it be that you still want to keep him here overnight?"
"No---no, he suffered such a big loss just now. He can't just leave like this. He will definitely take revenge. And from what I know about him, it usually doesn't happen overnight. Sister, we must not relax.
Be careful." Feng Yinu said nervously, it seemed that she was really scared by Li Qi.
Master Li couldn't help but feel a little angry, and said: "You say all day long that he bullies you, but every time I see you bullying him, although Master Li usually talks a little irrationally, he is still very nice and treats you just the same.
Needless to say, I have saved you over and over again without any intention of repaying you, but you are always thinking about how to punish him all day long, and I can’t stand it anymore."
Feng Yinu said anxiously: "Sister, don't let him lie to you, he--he--."
Master Li said: "Tell me? Why did he bully you? I'd like to hear it."
Feng Yinu stamped his feet and said with a red face: "Anyway, he is just a dirty kid."
Master Li looked stern and shouted: "Sister, if you are fooling around like this, you should go back to your place to practice from now on, I don't care."
Seeing that Master Li was really angry, Feng Yinu quickly held her hand affectionately and said with a pout, "Sister, I'm sorry, I promise you won't step on him intentionally next time. Besides, you also know that I wear a lot of clothes these days.
I have suffered a lot from practicing dancing with these high heels, and my feet are still swollen, and it has made you suffer with me. All of this is thanks to him, so it doesn’t matter if he suffers this grievance."
In fact, Feng Yinu had already mastered the practice a long time ago, and he did it deliberately just now, wanting to avenge himself for being slighted by Li Qi last time.
Master Li sighed softly and said: "Sister, I think you still have a lot of prejudices against Master Li. Although he looks quite philistine on the surface, he is a businessman after all. This is understandable. In fact, his character is quite good.
.”
"He has a good character?" Feng Yinu covered his mouth and looked at Master Li in surprise.
Master Li glared sideways and said, "Much better than you."
Feng Yinu stuck out her sweet tongue, but her heart was full of doubts. Today's Li Qi was not the Li Qi she knew at all.
Qin Mansion.
Li Qi sat on the bedside and took off his shoes with a wicked smile on his face. He saw that the insteps of his feet were bulging high, which looked very scary. He took off his socks again and saw that the insteps of his feet were tied up.
Two thick cloth pads, only half of his fingers exposed, he looked at the shocking high-heeled shoe prints on them, and sneered: "Smelly bitch, I knew you were good at peeing, but luckily I was prepared in advance.
, otherwise I will have to be trampled to pieces by you. Alas, it’s a pity that I can’t wear high-heeled shoes. I can’t trample her. It’s definitely not a wise move to confront her. I can only endure it for now. I believe that after tonight, she will not mess up again.
Come on. After the Wuxiang banquet, I will settle the accounts with her."
As expected by Li Qi, Feng Yinu has become more honest since tonight. He has not taken any revenge. It should be said that he does not dare to retaliate for the time being. After all, the power of high heels is too powerful. He has also encountered it in later generations.
Afterwards, the two gradually got into a good situation and cooperated very well. Master Li finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the two enemies had finally stopped their so-called disputes.
Today, news came from the front that Tong Guan's army will arrive in Beijing in eight days. However, this time is very important to Li Qi. After he checked again for confirmation, he started cooking Wuxiang.
There are a total of eighty-one kinds of ingredients in Wuxiang, most of which are high-quality ingredients, so cooking must be started seven days in advance.
First, naturally, various materials are processed and divided into nine large portions of different sizes. The largest portion contains forty-five kinds of materials. These nine large portions are then prepared according to a certain proportion and divided into equal portions and loaded into the net.
.
Just these few steps took three and a half days. You must know that this is the imperial kitchen, which shows how huge the project of this dish is.
After all the preparations were completed, all nine special boilers entered the imperial kitchen. And the forty carefully selected imperial chefs were all in place. Except for the large boiler in the middle, there were four standing next to each stove.
Royal chef.
Li Qi first came to the boiler in the middle, measured the water level inside with a special ruler, and asked someone to add a little more, and then said: "Start putting the materials."
When making soup, the ratio of water to ingredients is very important. For Wu Xiang, it is even more important. They say that details determine success or failure, and this is absolutely true.
I saw the imperial chef next to the big boiler in the middle begin to put the mesh bags filled with materials into the boiler in an orderly manner, but not all of them were put in, only part of them were put in, and then the long rope on the mesh bag was tied
On a hook on the inner wall of the boiler.
Zuo Boqing asked curiously: "Brother Li, why do you have to wrap this material in a mesh bag and put it down?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "This is for the convenience of taking it out. To put it bluntly, making soup is to decompose the substances in the materials, but the dissolution of each material is different, some are slow, some are fast, and beef bones and scallops are different. No phase
I have to cook it for three days and three nights. There are many ingredients that don’t need to be cooked for that long, so I have to take them out first. There are also some ingredients that I only need to cook for this long, so I have to take them out early and use them for other things.
Dishes.”
Zuo Boqing nodded and said, "That's it."
Li Qi suddenly pointed at the row of hourglasses next to the big boiler in the middle and said, "You must remember that every time an hourglass is finished leaking, you must remove the pot and remove the foam and grease floating on it."
"yes."
Li Qi nodded and said: "Make a fire."
The two royal cooks next to the big boiler started to light the fire, and soon the fire was burning brightly. One of the royal cooks pulled open the cork of the first hourglass.
Li Qi paced in front of the boiler: "No matter which boiler it is, once it is lit, it must be watched in turn for twelve hours. No matter how big or small the heat is, it will affect the quality of the soup. Wuxiang is a perfect dish.
, so no mistakes can be made.”
After a while, the first hourglass was finished.
The two royal chefs immediately stepped on the stools, opened the lid of the pot, and used large ladles to fish out some white foam and fat liquid from the boiler. For soup, removing the foam is the most important task, and it is also the most basic and tedious task.
After clearing it, Li Qi immediately said: "Turn to low heat."
The cook who was watching the heat immediately pulled out three pieces of firewood. Li Qi looked at it and said: "It needs to be smaller---a little smaller, well, it's almost done. Remember, just keep the heat at this level. It can't be too big, and it can't be too big."
Small."
"clear."
One of the royal chefs pulled open the cork of the second hourglass.
The cycle begins again and again.
Before you know it, half a day has passed. Li Qi stood upstairs and ordered: "Start putting materials into boilers No. 2, 3, and 4."
Twelve royal chefs were seen arriving at the three boilers pointed out by Li Qi and began to work quickly.
At this time, Zuo Boqing walked out of a room. It seemed that he had just woken up. He said to Li Qi: "Okay, brother, I will watch over here. You can go to sleep."
Li Qi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to bed first."
Li Qi has taught Zuo Boqing everything about making Wu Xiang. Because this dish cannot be completed by just one person, what Li Qi has to do is to trust his friends.
By the second day, fires had been lit in all nine pots, and the large boiler in the middle was particularly busy. Removing foam, suspended solids, and grease was all necessary work. In addition, they had to constantly take out the pots.
materials, and then add the materials into it.
Fortunately, Li Qi had already arranged hourglasses of different sizes to help them calculate the time, otherwise it would be difficult to remember. After all, there are eighty-one kinds of materials, and there can't be any mistakes.
The ingredients taken out must be processed immediately, either braised, pickled, or made into meat balls.
During this period, Empress Zheng also personally came to the imperial dining room to watch how Wu Xiang was cooked. Economy is all about economy. Anyone who heard this information would be curious. Gao Qiu and Bai Shizhong also found excuses to come and watch.
However, in the imperial kitchen, Li Qi can't control who you are. If you want to watch, okay, stand at the door and watch, and never come in, even if you fall out. If you influence any of the imperial chefs, you may be
The whole pot of soup has been ruined. Who will bear the responsibility?
Seeing how strange the boiler was, those people thought Li Qi was refining elixirs and secretly said they were surprised. However, they didn't know what was in the boiler.
This formlessness has become more and more mysterious.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the second day that Liang Shicheng suddenly arrived and told Li Qi that Tong Guan's army would arrive at Zhuque Gate tomorrow morning. At that time, the emperor would lead the civil and military ministers out to welcome their "triumph" back, and told him to go too.
For Li Qi, tomorrow is undoubtedly an important turning point. Because of the return of Tong Guan and Cai You, and Wang Fu getting his wish, he can finally receive this huge credit. The situation will definitely change, but it is for the better. Whether the direction changes, or whether it changes in a bad direction, is unknown.
This has always been a worry for Li Qi. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better novels and faster updates!
