Such delicate meat, other than snail meat, could it be the meat of any animal, but Li Qi did not dare to say this. He dared to swear on his character that once Song Huizong knew that what he ate was snail meat, he would immediately vomit.
If he vomits, then his banquet plan will fail in advance.
This wave kept coming again and again. Feng Yinu also ate deliciously and seemed to particularly like snail meat. He said: "What the official said is that this white and tender meat is really delicious.
The meat is plump and plump, without any fishy or peculiar smell, and the aroma fills my mouth. This is the first time I have eaten it. Li Qi, what kind of meat is this?"
Liu Yunxi suppressed a smile and said: "The cooking skills of King Jin Dao Chef are really superb. The little girl is convinced. But I don't know what materials Li Qi uses? The ground is special."
While admitting defeat, he did not forget to trick Li Qi once.
Your mother-in-law also came to join in the fun, just to avoid chaos in the world! Li Qi kept laughing, but he didn't say anything.
Song Huizong glanced at him curiously, became more and more curious, and said: "Don't laugh all the time, tell me quickly, what kind of meat is this extremely delicious meat?"
If I told you this, you probably wouldn't find it delicious.
"What kind of meat?" Li Qi laughed and said while sweating profusely: "This is really a good question. But---can you please keep it a secret for the time being?"
Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty asked in astonishment: "Why is this?"
Li Qi deceived: "To be honest, sir, this is prepared for the New Year's Day meeting. The emperor has given me many interesting restrictions, so I have to keep all the dishes secret, and this will be my
I can’t reveal too much about Zuixianju’s main dishes next year to avoid being robbed of the opportunity. Of course, everyone’s unanimous praise makes me confident in this kind of dishes.”
Song Huizong snorted and said, "Is this kind of dish going to be used at the New Year's Day meeting?"
Li Qi nodded and said: "Exactly."
Song Huizong nodded with satisfaction, but did not ask any more questions. He just said: "Yes, yes, this dish is indeed very novel."
Li Qi waved his hand and said immodestly: "This New Year's Day banquet will definitely be a success, unique and trend-setting. It will be recorded in the annals of history, promote the power of the Song Dynasty, and make all foreign guests feel at home.
, and let them never forget the delicious food." He hoped to use this to divert Song Huizong's attention, and of course he succeeded.
"Really? This can also enhance the power of the Song Dynasty?" Song Huizong said cheerfully. He felt that what Li Qi said was a bit exaggerated.
Li Qi nodded and said: "Of course, how dare I deceive the high-ranking officials? To put it simply, this banquet is about giving back to others in the same way. Those foreign guests can only bow their heads and obey."
Song Huizong chuckled and said: "Listen to what you said. This banquet is really exciting. By the way, as the deputy director of the imperial kitchen, why don't you go to the imperial kitchen to develop new dishes and come here."
Li Qi let out a cry.
Song Huizong frowned and said: "What are you talking about? Isn't this impossible to say?"
He wouldn't want to go to Master Li. Li Qi said sarcastically: "Of course not, in fact - the banquet is not in the palace, so there is no need to go to the imperial dining room."
"What?" Song Huizong stared and said, "It's not held in the palace? Why are you doing this?"
Li Qidao: "The reason is very simple, it is the current emperor's order."
You are obviously telling lies with your eyes open! Song Huizong said: "When did I--well, did the current emperor really give such an order?" There was a hint of warning in his voice.
Li Qi chuckled: "Although the Emperor didn't say it explicitly, he conveyed an instruction to me from the side."
"What instructions?" Song Huizong said through gritted teeth.
Li Qi said hey: "This instruction is quite simple, that is - insufficient funds. Just the little money allocated from the above, let alone the palace, even if it is run in our Zuixian Residence, it is shabby enough. It's too much.
So I can only find another shortcut."
"puff!"
When Feng Yinu heard this, he immediately laughed out loud.
What a good boy, you beat around the bush and scolded me for being stingy. How unreasonable. Song Huizong was so angry that he was itching his teeth and said: "So that's it. In fact, it doesn't matter where you do it. The important thing is that you can satisfy everyone, otherwise--"
"
"Is it the crime of deceiving the emperor? I understand, I understand." Li Qi nodded and smiled.
Song Huizong glared at him fiercely and said, "As long as you understand." He immediately waved his hand and said, "Give me another bowl."
"yes."
The boy next to him immediately filled another bowl for Song Huizong. Song Huizong wiped out the bowl of soup with a wave of resentment. Only then did he calm down the anger in his heart. Suddenly he remembered the purpose of coming today.
, then he said to Liu Yunxi: "Shi Niang, how is Master's illness?"
Liu Yunxi hesitated for a moment and said: "It will take more than a month to recover. However, if she wants to completely cure her old disease, she will have to rest for half a year."
When Song Huizong heard the great news, he immediately put aside his curiosity and depression, nodded with a smile and said: "This old disease has been bothering me for many years. If it can be cured, there will be nothing better. You
You are worthy of being a miracle doctor, tell me, what reward do you want?"
Liu Yunxi showed no appreciation at all and said calmly: "I am here just to repay the favor of the Golden Knife Chef King. You should keep these rewards for yourself."
Wow! These words are really ****! Li Qi immediately covered his mouth, for fear that he would laugh out loud.
Song Huizong stared blankly at Liu Yunxi with an embarrassed look on his face, then glanced at Li Qi and said bitterly: "Li Qi, do you really want to laugh?"
Li Qi closed his mouth tightly and shook his head vigorously.
Song Huizong snorted: "If you dare to laugh, I will not spare you."
As soon as these words came out, Li Qi didn't dare to open his mouth anymore. He shook his head vigorously, and the muscles on his face began to stiffen.
What a shame! The great Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty was really embarrassed when he met this group of weirdos. He stood up suddenly and said, "I'm going to see my master." After saying that, he walked upstairs. How could he be embarrassed?
Remarkable.
As soon as Song Huizong left, Li Qi couldn't hold it in anymore. He covered his mouth and laughed. But he still kept his voice very low.
Feng Yinu walked over and whispered: "You are so brave. How dare you say that in front of high officials."
Li Qi shook his head with a smile and said, "I didn't say anything just now." He glanced at Liu Yunxi, implying that this was all what she said.
Feng Yinu couldn't help but laugh, and then quickly stopped his smile, blinked his bright and charming eyes, and asked curiously: "What kind of meat was that just now?"
Li Qi shook his head and said: "Can't say, can't say."
"Why not?" Feng Yinu was full of curiosity. He was not willing to let it go and said coquettishly: "Is there anything else you can't tell me?"
Li Qi's heart broke, and he thought to himself, this woman's voice is so damn good! Why: "Yinu, I won't tell you, it's for your own good, you have to believe me."
Feng Yinu stamped his feet and tilted his pretty face, obviously displeased with Li Qi.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you, but you must not tell others."
Feng Yinu was delighted when he heard this and nodded hurriedly.
"You come with me."
Li Qi took her hand and walked outside, coming to a corner. He first put Yinu's hand on the wall, and then whispered two words in her ear.
"vomit!"
When Feng Yinu heard this, he felt his stomach churn, and the hand holding the wall suddenly exerted force, and he immediately vomited it out.
I knew it was like this. Fortunately, I didn't tell the truth to the emperor just now. Li Qi lamented and patted her back gently. He praised her: "She is indeed my woman. She vomited so charmingly and sounded like an oriole.
. Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it after eating it a few times. In fact, snails are very nourishing for the body and taste great. Look at Wei Shi Niang, isn’t she eating with relish? Huh? Why are you vomiting more and more fiercely---Hey
Hey, hey, what are you pushing me for? It’s okay. Of course I love you, I love everything about you. I won’t dislike you because of this. Besides, your posture is very tempting---Okay, okay, I’ll leave. I’ll leave.
Isn’t it okay?”
Back in the hall, Li Qi looked at Liu Yunxi and shook his head.
Liu Yunxi had already guessed it and said calmly: "She really doesn't know how to enjoy it."
"Who says it's not the case?" Li Qi shrugged and said, "This shows how arduous the favor you asked me to do for you is."
Liu Yunxi suddenly said: "Are you really planning to kill the snail?"
Li Qi coughed loudly and said: "Watch your words, pay attention to your words."
Liu Yunxi rolled his eyes and changed his words: "What kind of New Year's Day party are you going to put this dish on?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Of course, in fact, this is just one of them. How about it? You know how powerful I am, the Golden Knife Chef King. How can such a small thing defeat me?"
Liu Yunxi was really speechless now.
...
...
Baifu.
"Hey, madam, can you please be reasonable? I, the husband, should be there to serve the red slave while he is breastfeeding. Maybe I can even help with some food --- don't do anything, I will fight back, okay, okay,
I promise you, I will never be as careless as last time, at least I won’t do it in front of you, I will give you another chance---"
Bang!
Before he finished speaking, the door had been closed, but Li Qi was so angry that he was breathing heavily outside the door with his hands on his hips and said: "Is there any mistake? Is this still my son?"
ah."
Just as Li Qi was about to burst through the door, someone suddenly came over and said, "Uncle, the deputy economic envoy is here."
Li Qi was stunned, pointed at the door, and said sternly: "You are lucky today. I'm so angry. If I had known this, I wouldn't have let Zhengxi recognize you as my godmother."
After he finished complaining, Li Qi came to the front hall. Qin Hui was already waiting inside. When he saw Li Qi coming, he quickly stepped forward and said, "I have seen you, sir."
Li Qi hummed and asked all the servants to step back, and then said: "How is it?"
"Then Geng Nanzhong is really a villain. He will not refuse gifts from foreign guests. Although he is very careful in doing so, it is a pity that there is no airtight wall in the world." Qin Hui's lips curled up.
Said with a hint of evil smile.
Li Qi smiled and said: "In that case, let's just wait and watch the excitement."
Qin Hui added: "All the envoys from various countries have arrived. A meeting will be held in Honglu Temple tomorrow. The purpose is to establish an economic summit. Your Excellency, the concept of this economic summit is very novel. I am afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince and others may not be able to do what they want. You still
Let’s go there.”
I'm going, what's the matter with the prince? Li Qidao: "Let's take a look first. If the prince really can't handle it, I will take action. You can go and help tomorrow. This economic summit is very important to us and must be held this year."
OK."
Qin Hui said: "Yes. Your Majesty knows. There is another thing. As soon as those envoys arrived in the capital, they sent people to tell them, hoping to meet with you."
Li Qi hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll wait until the economic summit is settled before I meet with them again. We'll talk about it then."
