Following a rush of footsteps, Hong Tianjiu, Zhou Hua, and Chai Cong ran down from the second floor.
"Ah! Brother Li, Shaobai, you are here too. That's great."
When Hong Tianjiu saw Li Qi and Fan Shaobai, he danced excitedly and walked over quickly.
Li Qi raised his hand, fearing that he would pounce on him, and said in disgust: "Look at your mouth full of oil, don't stain my clothes."
Hong Tianjiu wiped his lips, smiled, and said: "Brother, actually I have looked for you several times, but I can't find you."
Li Qidao: "What do you want from me?"
"Of course I'm here to try delicious food." Hong Tianjiu said excitedly.
Gao Yanei said with a disgusted look on his face: "What kind of delicacy? Xiaojiu, have you read the book? Those bugs are obviously used to disgust people."
Chai Cong smiled slightly and said: "Ya Nei, didn't you say you would never come here even if you died? Why are you here again today?"
Gao Yanei sneered and said: "I am here to eliminate harm for the people today. Let me tell you that I, Gao Qingtian, am not in vain."
Li Qi chuckled and said: "That's right, that's right, you are so promiscuous, how can you get a false reputation?"
Gao Yanei touched the red flowers on his temples and hummed: "Of course."
It's really pretty.
Hong Tianjiu laughed and said unconcernedly: "Brother, just smash it, but don't vomit again, we still have to eat."
Gao Yanei said angrily: "Xiaojiu, can you not mention that? Who wouldn't vomit after looking at those things?"
Hong Tianjiu pointed around and said, "There are so many people!"
Gao Yanei was speechless at once, his face flushed from holding back, and he looked at Li Qi resentfully, as if to say, it's your turn to take action now.
Li Qi's heart was as bright as a mirror, but he pretended not to see it. He smiled at Hong Tianjiu and said, "Let's go. Let's see what kind of food can make Xiao Jiu so happy that he doesn't even want to go to Zuixianju."
Hong Tianjiu said with a smile: "Brother, I'll go there in a while. Besides, I'm still my brother."
Gao Yanei said anxiously: "No, no, Li Qi, have you forgotten what you said to me yesterday?"
Li Qi grabbed him and whispered in his ear: "You are stupid. Do you understand what it means to learn from someone without a name? If you don't eat, how can you find trouble?"
Gao Yanei nodded as if he didn't understand, and said: "That makes sense. You eat it? I don't eat it?"
Li Qi glanced at Wu Xiaoliu, and Gao Yanei understood immediately, hehe said: "Let me tell you, why did you bring this coward here for such a thing? I see, then let's go up quickly." After that, he said Somewhat impatient.
Several people came upstairs, and it was quite crowded. There was only one empty table by the fence, but the table was in a mess. Needless to say, that must be Hong Tianjiu's seat.
Some of the guests upstairs were from wealthy families, and some were regular patrons of Zuixianju. When they saw Li Qi coming, they all stood up and handed over their hands. However, because they were afraid of Gao Yanei's presence, they did not come over and just called from afar. Hello. After all, Gao Yanei had a murderous look on his face at this time. It seemed as if it was written that strangers should not come near him.
Li Qi returned the greetings one by one, and faintly heard someone whispering: "Tsk tsk, this shop is probably famous now, even the Golden Knife Chef King is here."
"I've told you a long time ago that the dishes in this restaurant are cheap and delicious. Sooner or later, they will become famous in the capital."
...
Unexpectedly, I also made an advertisement for this store. I will have to ask the store owner for advertising fees later. Aren’t all celebrities in later generations like this? Li Qi was thinking about it and came to Hong Tianjiu’s table and sat down. Gao Yanei sat far away, with beads of sweat oozing out from his forehead. It could be seen that he was really afraid of this little bug.
Li Qi glanced at the table and saw four dishes and one soup on the table. One plate contained more than half of the fried grasshoppers. There were still four or five of them, golden and shiny. They looked very tempting indeed.
, and on the plate next to it was a dish of fried scorpions, red and black and shiny, still in a crawling shape, almost intact. The scorpion tails were raised high, but the poisonous stingers had been cut off, so there were only two or three left.
The plate on the side is shiny and black, and you can tell at a glance that it is fried silkworm chrysalis. The bowl of soup in the middle is more eye-catching and colorful. There are no onions, ginger and other ingredients in it, and the strange aroma comes from this soup.
There was another plate that came out. Although there was only one head left, it was not difficult to tell that it was a snake, and judging from the golden color of the dish, it must have been fried.
"It's absolutely superb!"
Li Qi sighed, let alone snakes. Grasshoppers and scorpions are nutritious treasures. They contain high protein and are great tonic for the body. As for the soup, although Li Qi didn't know what it was made of, it was
It was immediately obvious that it was no ordinary dish. He also saw a large bowl of fried rice placed on the edge of the table. He didn't pay attention at first, but he suddenly discovered that the rice was too white, shiny white, and there were some black "spots" in it.
He took another closer look and exclaimed: "Ant."
The reason why he exclaimed was not just because there were ants in it, but besides black ants, there were also termites. What was even more surprising was that the oil used for this fried rice must be a very special kind of oil.
It is obvious that this oil can make white rice whiter and black ants blacker.
"vomit!"
As soon as Gao Yanei heard about the ants, his stomach churned and his whole body began to tremble.
Chai Cong chuckled and said, "Ya Nei, why are you doing this?"
Gao Yanei held back his nausea and said, "Aren't you the same? Do you dare to eat it?"
Chai Cong said: "At least I dare to look."
Sweating! Is this even better? Li Qi asked in a cold sweat: "How much do these dishes cost?"
Zhou Hua said carelessly: "Brother Li, it's okay if you don't bring any money. We just treat you to a meal today. It's a big deal."
Japan. It seems that they all know my habit of not bringing money to eat. Li Qi really couldn't refute this point and said: "I'm asking how much it is. It has nothing to do with whether I bring money or not."
Hong Tianjiu pointed to the grasshoppers, rainbow soup, silkworm chrysalises and fried rice and said: "These bowls together are less than eighty cents, and they can't be considered a dish in Zuixianju."
"Can he compare with me, Zuixianju? I really don't know." Li Qi glared at Hong Tianjiu and said, "Also, I asked how much each dish costs."
Zhou Hua said: "These dishes can only be ordered together, not separately."
Li Qi was stunned. Fan Shaobai frowned and said, "It seems that this shop owner has some tricks up his sleeve."
Li Qi hummed. This kind of bundled marketing was common in later generations, but it is still rarely known by people these days. He said, "What about the scorpions and snakes?"
Zhou Hua clicked his tongue and said, "These two dishes are quite expensive. The snake costs 200 cents. As for the scorpion, one dish costs 1 cent. We'll order it here for one table."
Li Qi nodded and said: "That's very reasonable." You know, in later generations, scorpions like this will be sold for more than gold.
Gao Yanei snorted: "It's so reasonable, Xiaojiu, Sanlang, you have been deceived. I must tell Uncle Hong when I get back."
Hong Tianjiu said displeasedly: "Brother, you haven't tasted it yet. How come we were deceived? These two dishes are delicious. Just now I told Sanlang that I would get two more plates." He said without saying anything.
He went to Li Gaoyanei and said to Li Qi: "Brother Li, please try it quickly. These dishes are so delicious. I'm afraid you haven't tasted them either. I'll go get some more."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Hua shouted: "The old rules will be served again."
Li Qi's ears buzzed when he shouted, and he frowned: "Fat man, do you need to be so loud?"
Zhou Hua said depressedly: "Brother Li, you can't blame me for this. There are only two lazy guys here, one serves the food and the other collects the money. And they are quite weird. If you don't yell, they won't pay attention to you."
"Are they the two downstairs?"
"Um."
Li Qi snorted, expressing deep understanding. He said to Wu Xiaoliu and Fan Shaobai, "Let's just try it."
"Stay here."
Gao Yanei hurriedly said: "Li Qi, you really eat. If you want to have diarrhea, can't I get you some Xieyun Powder?"
The clouds dispersed? Li Qi trembled all over and said: "Yanei, have you forgotten what I just told you? I am here to help you!"
That's right! Xiaojiu and the others would not take Liuzi seriously at all. It would be different if it were Li Qi. Gao Yanei rolled his eyes and said with gratitude: "Li Qi, I didn't expect you to commit yourself to me---
.”
Li Qi was startled when he heard this. If it had been another word, he would have just smiled. He would usually leave it to Xiaojiu to correct this matter, but this word is related to honor! He hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, you are risking your life."
.”
"That's right, that's right. You're putting yourself at risk."
Gao Yanei nodded hurriedly without any rebuttal and said: "But don't worry, if you die unexpectedly, I will definitely mobilize an army to avenge you. Oh, I will also buy you the best coffin."
Died unexpectedly? A coffin? Li Qi's face turned green with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I accept the kindness of the Yameni, but you should keep it to yourself. Now please shut up for a moment and don't distract me."
Gao Yanei nodded quickly and closed his mouth tightly.
Li Qi rolled his eyes again at Fan Shaobai and Chai Cong, who were working hard to hold it in. Suddenly he heard a "click, click, click" sound nearby. He turned around and saw that Wu Xiaoliu had a grasshopper in his mouth and had already eaten it.
More than half of it.
What does it mean to be a foodie? This is it.
Although Fan Shaobai owns a restaurant, he is not a foodie. What he loves most is money. Originally, he was going to try it out of face, but it was obvious that Wu Xiaoliu had no appetite at all, so he put down his chopsticks again.
"Uh-huh, yummy, yummy, Brother Li, these grasshoppers are really delicious." Wu Xiaoliu stammered as he ate.
Gao Yanei now felt his scalp numb just hearing this figure, and said frantically: "Xiao Liuzi, if you say one more word, I will make you look good today."
Gao Yanei's shock was still quite strong. Wu Xiaoliu quickly closed his mouth and concentrated on eating the exposed thigh.
Li Qi smiled softly and picked up a grasshopper. Of these dishes, he would only eat grasshoppers and scorpions. It was not that the other dishes were too scary, but that those dishes had already suffered from Hong Tianjiu and Zhou Hua.
Contamination, and these two plates are eaten one by one, the contamination is relatively small. For Li Qi, they are the most disgusting. With a little force of two fingers and a snap of his hand, the grasshopper head flew out.
, and then I took a bite. As soon as I took it into my mouth, I felt a strange aroma filling my mouth. My eyes lit up and I said: "It's fat but not greasy. It's crispy, fragrant and crispy. The heat is just right, and the juice is almost perfect."
, Good! Good! Good!”
It was hard to hear Li Qi say "good" even in his mouth. In fact, he had eaten this fried grasshopper before when he traveled to Thailand. It was said that the small stall was the most delicious, but it was not as good as the fried grasshopper now. In the final analysis
, or this chef knows the taste of grasshoppers better, which is why he sighed like this.
Gao Yanei was dumbfounded when he heard this. That's not how the plot went. You should have said you had a stomachache!
Li Qi said to Maqiao again: "Maqiao, why don't you try it."
Ma Qiao said contemptuously: "What's the matter?" He stretched out his hand as he spoke. He grew up in the mountains, and these things were really commonplace for him. But at this moment, there was a sudden sound from the stairwell.
Powerful footsteps.
Hong Tianjiu said happily: "The food is here."
Zhou Hua frowned and said, "Why are you so fast this time?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man with the beard who was standing in front of the door came up. With empty hands, he walked straight to Li Qi and said, "Excuse me, are you the King of Kitchens with the Golden Knife?"
His voice is very hoarse and extremely special. It can be said that it is unique. Most people will never forget it after hearing it once.
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Exactly."
The bearded man said to Hong Tianjiu again: "Master Hong, if you are at the same table as the Golden Knife Chef, then I'm sorry, but the dishes you just requested may not be served."
Hong Tianjiu said: "Why is this?"
The big man with the beard said in a calm tone: "Because my master has already told me that there are two kinds of people that are not allowed in this restaurant. One is the sick, and the other is the Golden Knife Chef."
