After watching the excitement, naturally everyone went back to their homes to find their mothers. Pedestrians continued walking, and guests returned to the restaurant to continue their fun. As for Hong Tianjiu and the other boys, they remembered "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and hurriedly rushed into the drunken restaurant. Xianju, each person had a copy of the Song Dynasty Times Weekly, and read it with gusto.
But Liu Yunxi, who was about to leave, was invited to the backyard by Li Qi.
"Why did you invite me here?" Liu Yunxi asked curiously while sitting at the table.
Of course I'm not looking for you to have sex. Li Qi smiled softly and said, "Don't you always want to use my reputation to help you make more people accept your dishes?"
Liu Yunxi was slightly stunned and said, "Didn't you refuse?"
"When did I refuse?" Li Qi chuckled.
Liu Yunxi said happily: "Then you agreed."
Li Qi nodded and said, "Yes, I promise to help you."
Li Qi was so cheerful, but Liu Yunxi felt a little strange and asked curiously: "Why?"
Li Qidao: "I don't have such a great dream as you, but if there is one more dish in the world, then the people will have one more choice, and at the same time, there will be one more way to make money. Besides, I also know that some insects are indeed beneficial to people, especially for people." People who don’t normally have access to meat.”
In these days, pigs and sheep are not available to everyone, resulting in many children being extremely nutritionally deficient from childhood. However, in later generations, the traditional types of chicken, duck, fish, etc. on the dining table have changed to green game types, such as Grasshoppers are very nutritious, their meat is fresh and tender, and they taste as delicious as shrimps. They have become the best food pursued by future generations, especially for those who want to lose weight. Needless to say, snails, so, Li Qi He is not opposed to this type of food, and he also hopes that more people can taste delicious, cheap food.
A flash of joy flashed in Liu Yunxi's eyes. Then she asked cautiously: "Are you really willing to worship me as your teacher?" Her idea was extremely simple. She thought that as long as this dish could pass the hands of the Golden Knife Chef, the people would definitely If people flock to her, her dishes will surely become popular. As for reputation, she really doesn't care. If she wants fame, it's simply too simple. Just open a clinic. It's much more noble than a chef.
Becoming a disciple? Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "Forget it, you want me to become your disciple. You are not afraid of losing your life."
Liu Yunxi blinked and said in confusion: "Why should I be afraid of shortening my life? If you become my disciple, your cooking skills will definitely improve to the next level."
This woman's tone is even louder than Ma Qiao! Li Qi laughed dumbly and said: "I said, I have no objection to using insect dishes. If it is well made, I will also be willing to taste it, but it will cost me a lot." Forget it about kung fu research, I’m very busy.”
Liu Yunxi raised her slender eyebrows and said, "Do you think that's all I have?"
"Then what you mean is that you are sure you can beat me?" Li Qi said with a playful smile.
Liu Yunxi shook his head and said: "Although I have never tasted your cooking, I have tasted your Zuixianju dishes. When it comes to taste, I am not your opponent, but I can teach you a way to make your dishes better." The food becomes more delicious.”
Li Qi snorted and said, "Then I'd like to hear it."
"It's all nonsense, are you willing to give me a try?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Compared to what."
“Original fish soup.”
“Original fish soup?”
Liu Yunxi nodded and said: "We each choose a carp, only use ginger, green onions, and cooking wine to see whose fish soup is more delicious."
Li Qi was stunned, then nodded and smiled: "Okay." Of course he understood that Liu Yunxi wanted to use his own strength to overcome the other's weakness, because if there were no restrictions on the comparison, Liu Yunxi would never be his opponent, but he
I also want to see what method Liu Yunxi is talking about.
Then the two of them came to the kitchen of Zuixianju.
“It smells so good!”
As soon as Liu Yunxi entered the door, she smelled a scent. When she took a closer look, she saw pots of shiny duck meat, let alone eating them. Just smelling it made her salivate.
Li Qi smiled and introduced: "This is our latest dish in Zuixianju today, the unparalleled hot pot." That is to say, beer duck is presented in the form of hot pot, which has only emerged in recent years.
Liu Yunxi said curiously: "You have a unique taste that is unique in the world."
You really think that I, the Golden Knife Chef King, am just trying to gain fame! Li Qi smiled and fell silent.
Wu Xiaoliu came over, nodded and said: "Brother Li, do you want to cook?"
Li Qi said calmly: "You ask someone to get me a better carp."
"One piece?" Liu Yunxi frowned and said, "How can one piece be enough for the two of us?"
Li Qi chuckled: "Now that the main ingredients and ingredients have been decided, I know what flavor I can make. I just need to see how you do it."
"So powerful?" Liu Yunxi asked doubtfully.
"It's really that powerful." Li Qi nodded without any doubt.
Liu Yunxi chuckled and said confidently: "Okay, that's it."
Soon, the little cook came over carrying a small bucket with a fresh carp in it.
Liu Yunxi looked into the bucket, nodded slightly, and took out a cloth bag from her arms. When she opened the bag, she saw three needles inside.
Wu Xiaoliu asked curiously: "Strange Shiniang, are you planning to treat the fish?"
Li Qi shook his head and smiled: "No, no, she wants to help the fish maintain the most perfect taste."
Liu Yunxi looked surprised and said, "You know?"
Li Qi nodded and said: "I know its use, but I don't know how to cook it with acupuncture."
"Acupuncture cooking?" Wu Xiaoliu exclaimed, and then asked curiously: "Brother Li, what is acupuncture cooking?"
Li Qidao: "Usually when we kill fish, we either kill them first and throw them into the pot, or throw the live fish directly into the pot. No matter which method is used, the fish is alive and conscious. It will definitely undergo violent events before it dies.
The fish is beating and struggling, so that the blood will flow rapidly, and it will be in a state of extreme excitement and fear. From a medical point of view, this is a morbid condition. Therefore, the fish we usually eat are all morbid fish.
At that time, no matter how clever the cooking methods are, you still cannot get the most original taste. If you can put the fish into a state of suspended animation while it is still alive without relying on any medicine, then when it is slaughtered, you can ensure the purity of the blood and the fish meat.
The most delicious taste. This can ensure the most original taste of a fish.”
Wu Xiaoliu was stunned for a moment after hearing this. It felt so amazing. It turns out that fish can still do this. He said: "Brother Li, can you do it?"
Li Qidao: "Have you ever seen me use it?"
Wu Xiaoliu shook his head.
"That's it." Li Qi tilted his head and said with a smile. The Golden Knife Chef is not omnipotent. To learn this cooking method, you must first have a thorough knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, otherwise you will not be able to hold a needle steadily.
How to do acupuncture? In addition, this method is patented in later generations. It is a secret method and is not easy to learn. Moreover, with Li Qi’s cooking skills, learning this method is just the icing on the cake. Even if you don’t learn it, no matter it is
In later generations, and now, there will be very few who can defeat him.
Liu Yunxi asked curiously: "Since you know it so clearly, why not?"
Li Qi said angrily: "I don't even know the acupuncture points, why should I just prick them randomly?"
Liu Yunxi said seductively: "Then do you want to learn? I can use this method not only on fish, but also on shrimps, pigs, and sheep."
Sweating! You are a miracle doctor, but I am not. I have to study for many years. Li Qi smiled and said: "You can do it first and then talk about it."
Liu Yunxi thought he didn't believe her, so she didn't say any more and started doing it immediately. She first slowly poured the fish into a basin and waited until the fish calmed down. Then she took out two needles, one in each hand.
, staring at the carp in the basin.
Wu Xiaoliu and several young cooks gathered around, not daring to blink for fear of missing any detail.
Suddenly, Wu Xiaoliu and others felt their eyes blur, and then they heard Liu Yunxi say: "Okay."
A few people took a closer look and saw that the carp had two shining needles inserted into it. The most surprising thing was that the carp that was swimming around just now was motionless, as if it was dead.
.
He is indeed a master! He is really amazing. Li Qi nodded appreciatively.
Liu Yunxi then took out the carp with both hands, placed it on the chopping board, removed the needle, and then used a sharp kitchen knife to make a shallow vertical cut on the side of the fish one centimeter away from the gills, and slowly pulled out the fishy smell.
line, during the whole process, the fish didn't react at all.
This is really amazing.
Wu Xiaoliu and the others were all dumbfounded.
As for the cooking process, Liu Yunxi did not use any fancy methods, and it was exactly the same as ordinary people making fish soup. But Li Qi knew that this was enough.
After a while, the fish soup was ready.
Li Qi and Wu Xiaoliu each scooped out a bowl. They saw that the fish soup was milky white, garnished with chopped green onions, and exuded a burst of fragrance.
The impatient Wu Xiaoliu blew it quickly and took a small taste. His eyes lit up and he said, "This fish soup is indeed much more delicious than the one we made." Then he ate another piece of fish and felt that the fish was even more delicious.
It is tender and smooth, without a trace of fishy smell, and has an original taste, which seems to push the umami taste of the fish to the extreme. It is different from the carp that was brutally slaughtered in the past.
Li Qi also took a bite and said with a smile: "It is indeed extremely delicious."
Liu Yunxi hurriedly asked: "Then can you agree?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Do you think that as long as you use the name of me, the Golden Knife Chef King, then the people will happily accept it?"
Liu Yunxi said: "Isn't it true? When I was in the south, I heard people talking about you, and they all admired your cooking skills very much."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "Yes, if this dish bears my name, it will indeed attract a lot of people at first, but if they think this dish is disgusting, they will feel disgusting regardless of whether I made it or not. I'll tell you the truth."
, I just launched a new drink today and it was completely rejected by the customers, so the title of Golden Knife Chef King is not a panacea."
Liu Yunxi frowned and said, "Then you said you would help me?"
"To help you is to help you, and to be a disciple is to be a disciple. These are two different things."
"Do you have any other ideas?"
"You've finally asked the right person."
Li Qi smiled and said: "The dishes you make are delicious enough. What is missing is publicity. As long as there is a perfect publicity strategy, your dishes will naturally be accepted by the public."
"Promotion strategy?"
Li Qi nodded and said: "Yes, you can cooperate with our Zuixianju."
"cooperate?"
Li Qi said with a smile: "We can first introduce the wonderful benefits of this kind of dishes to people from my nutrition knowledge. After the people understand these dishes, we can open several or even dozens of them across the country.
Similar to a restaurant like Weiweixuan, we can also work on the dishes to make them more attractive. By the way, I can also can the insects similar to grasshoppers to keep them longer.
It tastes even more delicious. But before that, we have to do one thing first."
"What's the matter?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Let's talk about what happened just now. In fact, what Yanei said is very correct. He just asked people to support him and did not refuse to pay. There is nothing wrong with this. If you open the door to do business, is it right?
It cannot be justified that someone else made a mistake by inviting people to your restaurant for dinner. So, the reason still lies with you."
Liu Yunxi pondered for a moment and said, "Did you say that you want me to find a few people to help?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "That can only solve the problem of your Weiweixuan. But if you want to popularize this type of cuisine, you must start a school to teach apprentices and train a group of chefs who have mastered this knowledge. As for the apprentices, of course
It’s not me, but I will help you choose. It depends on whether you are willing or not?”
Liu Yunxi said in surprise: "Why don't you want to do this?"
Li Qi was stunned and said: "Isn't it popular these days to keep secrets secret?"
Liu Yunxi said: "That's someone else, it's me. It's useless for me to keep this matter of cooking skills. If someone is willing to learn, it's too late for me to be happy."
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "What about medical skills?"
Liu Yunxi was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "That's not okay. The cooking skills belong to me, and the medical skills belong to my master. This cannot be passed on to others."
Damn it! I knew it was like this. A hint of disappointment appeared in Li Qi's eyes, and he said: "By the way, you can cook with bugs, but can you raise bugs?"
Liu Yunxi nodded and said, "Of course I can."
Li Qi hummed and said: "That's good. Since we want to popularize this kind of dishes, we must first teach people how to breed and catch them. However, I have to explain one thing first. Regarding poisonous scorpions, poisonous snakes, and centipedes, I will only discuss them temporarily.
Let it go, you have to do it step by step, and it involves human lives, so it must be handled with caution."
Liu Yunxi frowned and said, "What I do will never harm anyone."
"That's just you. Are you sure that nothing will happen to everyone in the world who cooks with those things?"
"this---."
Liu Yunxi was about to speak but stopped.
Li Qi sighed: "Whether you are a chef or a doctor, you must be careful and cautious, because you may directly cause harm to others or yourself. Self-righteousness is the biggest taboo in these two professions, otherwise you will end up harming others and yourself one day."
What he said was serious, but Liu Yunxi heard it with some disdain. Different people have different views on things. Liu Yunxi, who is very skilled in medicine, was worried that her guests would suffer from bad stomachs.
At this time, Xiaoyu suddenly walked in. Since Zuixianju launched beer today, she came back to take charge of the overall situation and said: "Brother, what should I do with the milk that these guests have drunk?"
As soon as Li Qi heard about the milk, he felt depressed and said, "It's fine if you pour it, or you can use it to soak your feet."
Liu Yunxi saw the cups of milk on the table and said, "These milks are so special!"
Li Qidao: "This is made from milk powder."
"milk powder?"
Li Qi briefly introduced the milk powder to Liu Yunxi again.
Liu Yunxi asked curiously: "Why don't the guests like to drink it?"
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said: "The taste is just average, so the guests will naturally not like it."
Liu Yunxi shook his head slightly and said: "This milk is so precious that not everyone can afford it."
Li Qidao: "I can also make milk powder using goat milk."
Liu Yunxi snorted and said, "Then can I have a try?"
"sure."
Li Qi immediately asked someone to make a small cup of milk for Liu Yunxi, as he was afraid of wasting a large cup.
After Liu Yunxi tasted it, he said: "This milk is already very delicious, without any fishy smell at all."
Li Qidao: "But that's all."
Liu Yunxi pondered for a moment and said: "It is not impossible to make milk taste delicious."
Li Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you have any idea?"
Liu Yunxi was not in a hurry to agree, and said: "I can go and try."
"Well, when you leave later, I will give you a few cans of milk powder." Li Qi agreed without hesitation. Anyway, no matter what, he would definitely make a profit.
