I saw that this barbecue restaurant was full of people. Some ministers who usually looked elegant were eating with their mouths full of oil and couldn't stop at all. But now that the emperor is here, you have to stop.
, quickly wiped his mouth, stood up and was about to salute.
Song Huizong raised his hand and warned: "You don't need to be polite. There is no distinction between monarch and minister here, only host and guest."
Apparently he's already into the act.
Those ministers all knew who Song Huizong was and nodded quickly, but still squeezed each other to free up a table. Song Huizong accepted this calmly. No matter what, it was impossible for the emperor to eat standing up and his ministers to sit down.
Eat it, what's going on?
Cai Jing suddenly looked out the door and said cheerfully: "It turns out that the little master Liuzi is in charge." He often went to Zuixianju, and Wu Xiaoliu was quite well-behaved, so he and Wu Xiaoliu had some friendship.
In front of the store, I saw Wu Xiaoliu wearing a high hat and an apron, holding a small shovel, standing in front of a special charcoal stove. He was very proud of himself and hurriedly saluted everyone.
"The aroma of this barbecue seems to be a little different!"
Song Huizong stepped forward, twitched his nose slightly, and asked: "Xiao Liuzi, your barbecue seems to be quite special."
Wu Xiaoliu had recently participated in the banquet of the Four Kingdoms. Song Huizong and a group of ministers also recognized him. They flattered him and said, "Your Majesty is really awesome. He can tell when he smells it. Brother Li taught me this barbecue not long ago. How good it is."
have eaten."
Li Qi said with a dark face: "Why don't you remember that you should try to talk as little as possible during the barbecue?"
"Yes yes yes."
However, his flattery was spot on. Song Huizong felt relieved and said, "Then let's have some barbecue."
Wu Xiaoliu suddenly said: "Brother Li, what kind of meat are you using?"
Li Qi said in a deep voice: "Hey! You are trying to amuse me on purpose, of course you have specially reserved it!"
Song Huizong said, "Specially reserved?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, if this kind of barbecue is roasted with beef muscle, it will taste more delicious. But Your Majesty, you also know that beef is not something you can eat casually, so the quantity is relatively small, so I reserved some.
, specially reserved for the emperor, all they eat are grilled fish or grilled pork."
This guy is so sensible. Song Huizong smiled, waved to Liang Shicheng, and sat down at the table.
Liang Shicheng stepped forward and asked: "How much does it cost?"
Wu Xiaoliu said: "One share. Two hundred coins."
Liang Shicheng looked at the small plate of meat, which was very thin, and frowned: "Just this little meat costs two hundred coins, you kid, you must be raising the price."
Wu Xiaoliu's tears came as soon as he was called, and he said aggrievedly: "Liang Taiwei, this is what Brother Li ordered."
Liang Shicheng immediately glared at Li Qi. Li Qi said cheerfully: "Captain, beef, of course it is more expensive. Besides, two hundred coins is not even a drop in the bucket for Taiwei."
Cai Jing coughed slightly and said with a slight embarrassment: "You can't say that, we don't have much money with us. We don't have anyone with us, so we only have this little money with us, and this is how we eat, so we went to this store.
Then there will be no more.”
Gao Qiu suddenly said: "I said you are serious. This is just symbolic. Why are you so expensive? Are you not deliberately teasing us?"
Li Bangyan hummed: "That's right, that's right, it's more expensive than the ones in regular stores outside."
They gathered together to attack. Li Qi really couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Everyone, this is beef, not ordinary meat, and the quantity is very small. Scarcity is valuable. If you don't like it, you can eat other things."
ah."
"Um!"
This group of big guys stared at Li Qi with wide eyes.
What are you doing? You want to fight! They are all my little brothers here. Li Qi said sarcastically: "Otherwise, there will be a lot of food later. If you eat one portion each, you will not be able to eat anymore later. This portion
You just pool your money to buy the meat, and then I'll give you a bibimbap at a loss."
Cai Jing's eyes lit up and he said: "Bibimbap?"
"Exactly, exactly."
Several old men looked at each other and thought the price was reasonable. Liang Shicheng said: "It's not bad. But why don't you pay?"
Li Qi said depressedly: "I didn't eat."
Poor!
Several wealthy people started to tighten their trousers and join forces again, and after a lot of hard work, they managed to get a barbecue. When Wu Xiaoliu saw it, he secretly snickered, Brother Li's idea was really bad, if
If you tell others about this, you won't have to laugh until your stomach hurts.
After a while, the barbecue was served, and no one just had a small piece, one or two bites. But no one cared, this was just the beginning, there were still a lot of delicious food waiting for them, so they had to leave some room.
Song Huizong saw this piece of green leaf placed under the barbecue and some pickles on the meat, and asked: "What is this leaf?"
Li Qi explained: "This is perilla leaf. My barbecue must be eaten wrapped in perilla leaf."
"That's it!"
Several people immediately stretched out their hands, gathered the vegetable leaves, and rolled them into a ball. Song Huizong and Li Bangyan were still young. Seeing how small the meat was, they stuffed it in. After just two bites, Song Huizong couldn't help but straighten out.
Nodding, without caring about the image, he chewed big mouthfuls. After eating, he was still not satisfied, and said: "Li Qi, your barbecue is really delicious, with the freshness of perilla leaves and the rich and juicy roast beef."
, one clear and one strong, complementing each other, plus the unique sauce aroma and the kimchi flavor, it’s perfect!”
Cai Jing nodded and said, "The emperor is right. This barbecue is wrapped in perilla leaves and eaten. It is really smooth and refreshing, fat but not greasy. After eating, you will have endless aftertaste."
For them now, it's all about endurance, which is not enough, but there is no other way. You can't give up the entire forest for a tree. Several people look at each other, and I look at you, which makes it quite uncomfortable.
Park Zhiqian seemed to have never eaten meat before. He had a special liking for this meat. He was intoxicated after eating and did not want to get out of this delicious food. Although he had finished eating, he was still in a daze. This may be
Love it when I eat it.
But it’s no wonder. In fact, this is what is called Korean barbecue in later generations. Of course, it is now also included in Chinese food. However, for China’s extensive and profound food culture, this is not even the icing on the cake. Li Qi also sees this
Very light. His purpose is to make sure that hundreds of years from now, no matter which country people are from, when they eat delicious food, they will definitely think of China.
All the delicious food in the world comes from China.
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty looked at Pu Zhiqian's appearance and said with a smile: "Envoy Pu, how do you like this barbecue?"
Park Zhiqian was slightly startled and exclaimed: "To answer your Majesty's question, I have been to many places in my life, but this barbecue is truly unrivaled! Especially when it comes with soybean paste and kimchi seasonings. It fits the bill perfectly."
I have a Korean taste, and just now I felt like I was in Korea."
Song Huizong waved his hand and said with a smile: "You can't say this in front of the Golden Knife Chef King. When it comes to this barbecue, his stone barbecue is no less generous!"
At this time, the bartender brought another earthenware pot.
When Park Ji-kyum looked at the pot, he was surprised and said: "Bibimbap."
This dish is an authentic Korean dish. In the Joseon Dynasty, it was a tribute dish from North Korea to the Chinese Dynasty. It is a famous dish.
Cai Jing started to show off again, stroking his beard. He said with a smile: "I have tasted this bibimbap, but I don't know how Li Qi's bibimbap is different from what I ate before."
Song Huizong laughed and said: "I know this. It's delicious."
Li Qi hurriedly said: "Thank you, thank you. But what the emperor said is indeed the truth."
When he said this, everyone except Park Zhiqian burst into laughter.
As soon as the lid of the pot was lifted, the aroma was overflowing, and this aroma was composed of several aromas. When I looked inside, I saw that the inside was also colorful and stained, with yellow yolks, rice and egg whites as white as snow, and other
There are also shredded white radish, sausages, mushrooms, sliced meat, etc., which are neatly arranged and the layout is very generous and appropriate.
The bartender took a long-handled spoon and stirred it inside. The aroma of rice, vegetables, and sauces would also spread with the hot steam. The colors mixed together, like a rainbow in the water, still and moving, and this was not there yet.
As soon as they started eating, Song Huizong and others were already salivating.
Suddenly, a person at the table next to him shouted: "Economic Envoy."
Li Qi turned around and saw that it was Jiang Daoyan who was at the censor's desk. He nodded and said, "I wonder if Jiang censor has any advice."
Jiang Daoyan asked expectantly: "Will your store continue to open in the future? To be honest, Jiang really likes this bibimbap."
Li Qi nodded and said: "Please rest assured, Jiang Yushi, I have rented this street. Although this is a banquet, it can also be said to be the opening ceremony of this street."
Jiang Daoyan hurriedly said: "That's good, that's good. I will definitely come to support you from now on."
When the others heard this, they secretly rejoiced and could come and eat at any time from now on.
Song Huizong smiled and said: "This street? Li Qi, you are so generous!"
Li Qi said humbly: "Your Majesty is serious. It is true that this street was rented by Wei Chen, but many restaurants have come to invest in it." But in his heart, if this Xiangguo Temple was not the exclusive property of the imperial court, I would have to buy it.
You can't come down.
Gao Qiu said: "This street was already deserted, but after today, I believe this will be the busiest place in Xiangguo Temple."
Song Huizong hummed and praised: "Li Qi, you did a good job this time."
A businessman knows how to recycle waste. Li Qi smiled very "modestly" and remained silent.
While talking, the bartender had already served a small bowl of bibimbap to each person.
This time, Song Huizong and the others learned the lesson, they knew that this was all, they couldn't wolf it down, they had to savor it carefully, they only felt the slightly spicy taste.
A touch of sweetness is released in the mouth, and the taste is excellent.
Cai Jing smiled and said: "I think this dish, bibimbap, can be summed up in four words."
"I wonder which four characters it is?" Song Huizong asked curiously.
Cai Jingdao: "It has a harmonious taste. Bibimbap, bibimbap, the key is the word "mix", mix it evenly, there is no priority, so that you have me, I have you, every ingredient is perfectly blended,
This is a successful bibimbap. Obviously, this bibimbap is beyond success."
This is consistent with Song Huizong's view. He slapped the table and said: "Well said, a good one is beyond success."
But at this moment, a clicking sound suddenly sounded next to him.
It was really inappropriate to make such a big fuss during the meal! Song Huizong frowned slightly, turned around and saw Pu Zhiqian holding the pottery pot and eating it. At this time, he was eating the rice crust at the bottom of the pot. What he was eating was called a
It smells good!
Pu Zhiqian, who was enjoying his meal, suddenly felt that something was wrong. He looked up and saw the others looking at him. Knowing that he had lost his temper, he quickly put down the pot and said, "I'm so sorry. In our Goryeo, under this stone pot bibimbap."
That layer of crispy rice is also very popular with everyone, and I also like to eat it. Just now I saw that everyone didn’t eat it, so I--hehe."
Not to mention now, even in later generations, Koreans still like to eat rice dumplings as vegetables.
Li Qi said with a smile: "Envoy Park, there is no need to be embarrassed. This crispy rice is a delicacy in the first place, and the crispy rice in bibimbap is even more beautiful. The quality of the crispy rice can tell whether the bibimbap is good or bad."
"
My confidant! Pu Zhiqian sighed: "What the Economic Ambassador said is really good. Alas, I am ashamed to say that this stone pot bibimbap is much more delicious than what we make in Korea. If the Economic Ambassador comes to Korea in the future,
As a guest, I don’t even know what to entertain the economic envoy."
Song Huizong laughed loudly and said: "Envoy Pu need not be ashamed. Didn't Li Qi just say that our Song Dynasty cuisine is the best in the world, combining the best of hundreds of schools of thought?"
Although Park Zhiqian was unwilling to do so, the ironclad truth was still lingering in his mouth. He had to admit it even if he didn't want to admit it!
