There is a chef standing in front of the chopping board next to the stone fire pond. At this time, there is a big carp on the chopping board. He raises the knife in his hand, cleans the lively "carp", and cuts it completely from the belly of the fish.
, and use a few chopstick-thick wooden strips to pass across the fish skin to split it into two pieces, then use a slightly thicker piece of wood to penetrate the fish skin along the spine of the fish, and then insert the fish horizontally into a semicircle.
shape. He fixed it with iron clips and placed it next to the fire pond.
The movements are very skillful, and it is obvious that he has put in a lot of effort.
Song Huizong had seen a lot of grilled fish, but he had never seen grilled fish in this way. The more he looked at it, the more curious he became, and he asked Li Qi who was standing aside: "Li Qi, why is this fish grilled like this?"
Cai Jing shook his head and said: "It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate."
Song Huizong asked: "What's wrong?"
Cai Jing said: "His grilling method can only grill one side. Your Majesty, we have been standing here for so long and we have not seen him grilling on the other side. Could it be that this grilled fish is half raw and half cooked? But in this case, the carp's
How to remove the fishy smell?”
This sentence made everyone turn their attention to Li Qi again.
Li Qi gave it a try and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Grand Master, you will know if you continue to look at me."
Is there any subtlety behind it?
When Song Huizong and others saw what Li Qi had said, they began to read it patiently.
After a while, because there were not many jujube trees lit in the fire pit, they died soon after. Seeing that the fire was almost out, the master who specialized in grilling fish finally left the chopping board and came to the stone fire pit.
I saw that the side of the fish facing the fire had changed from white to yellow, and then from yellow to brown.
The grilling fish master carefully looked at the quality of the fish, nodded slightly, then took the fish out of the iron clip, and placed the side of the fish that was not facing the fire flatly in the embers of the fire pit to lightly roast it.
"this---."
Song Huizong and others looked shocked.
Sure enough, after a while, a wisp of white smoke came out. There was also a "sizzling" sound, and a soft whirring sound was heard, and a small flame ignited at the tail of the fish.
Immediately there was a burst of exclamation from the onlookers.
For a moment, a burning aroma hit my face.
As soon as the aroma came out, the grilled fish master immediately took the fish out of the fire pit, put it on a plate, sprinkled it with salt, green onions and other seasonings, and then served it to the guests.
At this time, the onlookers had already drooled all over the floor. They didn't want to wait for you to be so greedy, so just do it. You have to do it in front of us. Isn't this seductive? They all took their seats with eagerness.
Since the number of low tables is limited and there are many people, we have no choice but to gather a few people around one low table, but this way the atmosphere is better and it can be said to be fun and harmonious.
But I saw that the carp on the plate had been roasted to brown and shiny. Since the carp itself was very large, and it was broken and laid flat, even though there was only one fish, it already occupied the plate, with green onions and ginger on it.
Silk embellishment is not unattractive!
Song Huizong saw that the outer layer of the fish was brown, and he remembered the grilling method just now, so he did not choose the outermost layer. Instead, he picked up the chopsticks and took out a piece of white and tender meat from the inner layer of the fish, which was steaming because of the steaming heat.
This carp is very big, so the middle layer of meat contains fat, so it is quite delicious. I first put it in front of my nose and smelled it. It was fragrant. It was very fragrant. I immediately put it in my mouth, and I felt it was extremely fragrant and tender.
It’s full of flavor. He kept saying, “This grilled fish is really delicious.”
If you don’t understand, then don’t pretend to understand! You really like to show off. Li Qi said sarcastically: “Your Majesty, actually this is not how the fish is eaten.”
Are there several ways to eat fish? Song Huizong was curious and asked: "Then how do you think you should eat it?"
The others also stopped using their chopsticks and looked at Li Qi curiously.
Li Qi pointed at the grilled fish and said: "The most delicious part of this fish is the brown layer on the outside. This layer is also the value of this grilling method. Therefore, usually the outermost part must be cooked first.
The emperor just ate the middle layer of the fish. The meat was very tender and smooth, but if you just eat it, you can't get all the flavor. I call this phenomenon the regret of grilled fish.
', which means that this carp sacrificed its precious life, but did not allow people to taste its deliciousness."
Song Huizong laughed and said: "'The Regret of Grilled Fish' is interesting, really interesting."
Cai Jing's mouth almost watered when he heard this, and he quickly asked: "Then how to eat this grilled fish?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Master, don't be in a hurry. Eat the outermost layer first, and then I will teach you how to taste the middle part."
Eating fish is done in two steps, which is really weird.
Li Qi took a knife and began to separate the inside and outside of the fish, and distributed the most essential brown layer to Song Huizong and others. At the same time, some bartenders in this shop also told the guests that they should eat the fish slowly and eat the outside first.
, the layer of white, fatty meat inside must be kept first.
Since Li Qidu said so, Song Huizong and others had no choice but to do it. He picked up the browned part of the dish. Relatively speaking, he still liked the color of the roast duck, but when he put it in his mouth, his thoughts immediately
It has undergone earth-shaking changes. It is fragrant, crispy, crispy and delicious. He nodded repeatedly and said: "You are right, this outer layer is much more delicious than the tender meat I just ate."
Li Bangyan also liked it very much and said: "It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It's no less generous than roast duck!"
Everyone sitting here also praised this grilled fish.
At this moment, I saw four or five girls walking in, each holding a stack of thick cakes in their hands.
Everyone couldn't help but look surprised.
This flatbread is different from ordinary flatbreads. The middle is blown up, like a half-flattened ball that has run out of air.
Song Huizong saw the strange shape of the cake and asked curiously: "Li Qi, what's so special about this cake?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "This flatbread was originally a very unique delicacy, but now it is specially prepared for this fish."
Flatbread? Fish?
It seems that these two are incompatible with each other!
Everyone looks at me and I look at you, but I don’t know why.
As soon as the pie was served, everyone at the table felt a rush of heat. It was obviously freshly baked, but they were more interested in the shape of the pie.
Li Qi picked up a knife and cut the cake, and everything happened in it!
This cake looks like one piece, but it actually has two layers. Because it is freshly baked, it looks like a deflated rubber ball.
Obviously this is the authentic Arabic flatbread.
The most interesting part of this flatbread is between these two layers, because many Arabs like to stuff some pickled cucumbers or other foods into it, which is why the Arabic flatbread is made of two layers.
After cutting it, Li Qi first took some grilled fish juice and spread it on the inner layer of the flatbread. He put some pickles in it, then used a knife to cut a piece of fatty meat from the middle of the grilled fish and put it in it, wrapped it up, and finally
Song Huizong gave it to you and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, if you eat it like this, whether it is grilled fish or flatbread, their flavors can be fully brought out."
Eating fish wrapped in flatbread is such a surprise.
Song Huizong didn't say anything, and quickly took it. First, he tested the heat and blew it twice. Even if he took a big bite, the sound alone was very tempting!
Although this flatbread is baked, it is very soft inside and outside. When you eat it, it is very fragrant and soft. It is much more delicious than ordinary bread, but this is just the beginning. The most important thing is
The fillings inside, the white and tender fish meat inside, are under the high temperature inside the flatbread, absorbing the juice, as if it has been processed twice. Because you have to chew the flatbread slowly, otherwise you will choke to death, so eaters
It must be savored carefully. It is hot, loose, soft, tender and fragrant. It is full of flavor. This unparalleled and ingenious combination method also creates an unparalleled delicious taste.
Absolutely!
Absolutely amazing!
Song Huizong's mouth was full of delicious food, and he couldn't stop anywhere. He even had no time to sigh, but this face was undoubtedly the best advertisement.
Cai Jing and others couldn't help it, and started to take action. Since Li Qi had already separated the flatbread and fish meat, they only needed to learn Li Qi's method of putting the fish meat into the flatbread.
.
Everyone was so intoxicated by the food that they almost swallowed it with their tongues.
This was so delicious to eat, and many people applauded it.
Among them, the most excited person was Mohammed, the Third Prince of Food. He couldn't wait to come to Li Qi. He first bowed respectfully to Song Huizong, and then said to Li Qi: "The cooking skills of the Economic Envoy are really impressive.
Yeah, whether it's this flatbread or this grilled fish, the flavor is very similar to our big food, or even better."
It turns out this is a Dashi-style delicacy!
Song Huizong nodded slightly.
Li Qi stood up and cupped his hands and said: "The third prince has received the award. I don't dare to accept it. I don't dare to accept it." He felt tired after saying such humble words. He had no choice. Excellent people will encounter this kind of trouble. Just tell the truth.
People will think you are too high-profile, but if you speak modestly, they will think you are too hypocritical, which is very embarrassing!
Muhammad said excitedly: "Most of the people I eat are devout believers. Therefore, I prohibit eating pork and uglier-looking animals, such as animals that you in the Song Dynasty call soft-shell turtles, crabs, etc. This big cake is mine
The main food of the people who eat the big food is fish, but it is really useless to talk about the big cakes now. But for this fish, I thought it would be better to use the big meat, tender fish with few bones in the Hiddekel River that I eat to make it.
If so, it will definitely be more delicious.”
What are you talking about? Could it be that the fish of my country, Song Dynasty, are not as good as the fish of your country?
Song Huizong, the emperor who loved comparison, sneered at this.
However, Li Qi nodded and said: "The third prince is right, but as I said before, I don't have some materials in the Song Dynasty, so there will be some surprises."
When Muhammad saw Li Qi admit it frankly, he couldn't help but admire him even more.
Seeing that Li Qi agreed with Muhammad's statement, Cai Jing couldn't help but feel a little curious about the kind of fish in Muhammad's mouth, so he asked which kind. Muhammad immediately explained to Cai Jing, and by the way also talked about their food culture.
After a while, a sudden burst of fragrance interrupted Muhammad's speech.
Li Bangyan's nose twitched a few times, looked at the fragrance, and immediately exclaimed: "What a big camel!"
