It turned out that in a corner not far behind the wooden shed, there was a raging fire. The flames were as tall as an adult. On a high wooden frame, a huge beast, not a horse, not a pig, not an ox, was wearing a thick stick.
, it is the camel that people in the Central Plains rarely eat.
The two rough men were constantly turning the camel's body over at both ends of the thick stick. The roasting was making a squeaking sound and the aroma was overflowing.
In fact, this was not grilled just now, because it was grilled outside, and everyone's attention was focused on the grilled fish, so no one paid attention until the aroma of the grill came out, and then they realized it.
As time went by, the camel became more and more fragrant as it roasted. You could smell it no matter on the street or at the end of the street. There were gradually more customers inside and outside the shed, all looking at the roasted camel.
The aroma of barbecued meat is more mouth-watering than ordinary dishes, and the aroma of roasted camel is even more intoxicating. Many people's mouths gradually started to tremble. Cai Jing kept wiping his mouth and said: "
This roasted camel is really delicious!”
However, what everyone did not expect was that this was just the beginning. Later, the fragrance became more and more intense, sweeping through the entire Xiangguo Temple like a stormy wave, continuously, one after another, and out of control.
At this time, those who were visiting Xiangguo Temple smelled this fragrance, and they all stopped in their tracks, raising their heads slightly and twitching their noses vigorously, as if at this moment, time was giving way to this fragrance.
The faces of Song Huizong and others were no longer salivating, but more surprised. The fragrance was so unusual. How could the ordinary roasted camel emit such a strong fragrance, which seemed to swallow it all up?
Incredible!
It’s incredible!
Muhammad was born in Dashi, and roasting a camel was no stranger to him. However, he had never seen a camel that could be roasted with such a fragrance. He looked at Li Qi with surprise and said: "Economist, I didn't expect you to roast a camel."
The camel's skills are so impressive."
Li Qi smiled very modestly and said: "Actually, when it comes to making camels, I know how to make them because I feel that the ability of camels to do this is already the limit and cannot be surpassed. Therefore,
I didn’t study it in depth any more.” I thought, just kidding. This dish has been included in American textbooks and has become one of the Guinness Book of World Records. There is no need to express the various honors in words. In the future, any chef will be proud of this dish.
The dish is dumped.
This is really "modest"!
Muhammad nodded and said: "Yes, yes, I have eaten a lot of camels. But just because of this smell, it has surpassed all the camels I have eaten before. This is really surprising."
Song Huizong also woke up with a start and said: "Li Qi, how on earth did you roast the camel? How---how could it be like this?"
Li Qi did not answer directly and said: "Your Majesty, this camel dish is the main dish of today's banquet. In my heart, this dish can be said to be a crude version of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall."
To be the main dish at this gourmet banquet, all the words of praise are nothing more than this!
Song Huizong asked curiously: "A crude version of Buddha jumping over the wall?"
Li Qi nodded and said: "Exactly, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall pays attention to delicacy, and the taste comes from the inside, but this dish is very heroic and majestic. It is perfect for such a large palace banquet."
Cai Jing's saliva drooled, and he trembled with dry lips and said: "That--that's better than your formless one."
Li Qi made a sound and said: "This - Wuxiang, strictly speaking, cannot be called a dish. In a person's life, whether it is cooked or eaten once, it is already extraordinary. Using any
It’s unfair to compare the dishes with nothing.”
Are you kidding? In terms of the ingredients used by Wu Xiang, is there any dish in the world that can compare with it? Moreover, when making Wu Xiang, there can be no mistakes at all. Even if you just look at the stove, you have to practice it for dozens of times beforehand.
Every time, if there is a mistake in one link, the whole dish will fail. Clean water is easy to get, but it is difficult to make clean water! That is to say, Li Qi, a brave man who is an expert in art, dared to challenge, but he asked himself that he would never be able to create something that could surpass the incomparable
It's a delicious dish that combines thousands of essences into one. How can it be surpassed?
Song Huizong nodded in understanding, because Wuxiang was already a mythical existence in his mind, and he still dares not forget that taste. It was too damn expensive. He thought, that Wuxiang will kill me.
The imperial dining room is empty, how can it not be delicious?
Muhammad had never heard of Wu Xiang, so he asked Cai Jing. When Cai Jing just told him the materials for making Wu Xiang, he was speechless.
Li Qi said generously: "If the third prince wants to try it, I can tell you Wu Xiang's method."
He is really not stingy about this. He is willing to teach anyone who wants to do it, but he would never do it again. He really doesn't know how many years his life will be shortened.
Without thinking, Muhammad shook his head violently, wishing to break his neck. Was he eating or killing someone?
Song Huizong broke free from the Wuxiang and asked: "How long will this dish be needed?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "I'm afraid it will take a while."
Waiting is torture enough, but the feeling of waiting for delicious food is imaginable!
Song Huizong frowned and said: "Li Qi, you said this is a main dish for this banquet, but how can there be enough for so many people?"
Li Qi said without hesitation: "It's definitely enough."
This camel is big enough, but you have to know that there are a lot of people here, and it is impossible to tell them apart by visual inspection. However, when Song Huizong saw Li Qi's words with great certainty, he thought, could there be something subtle in it?
Thinking of this, he became more and more curious and wished he could go into battle himself and roast the camel quickly.
The fire is roasting the camels, but it is undoubtedly torturing everyone's hearts.
After a long and agonizing wait, this roasted camel dish is finally on the table.
A flash of light flashed in everyone's eyes at the same time.
I saw a few servants carrying it to a giant round table. Although this round table is large, it is relatively short. In fact, it is not difficult to understand. This camel is so big. If it is placed on an ordinary round table, I am afraid that only a person as tall as Yao Ming can stand it.
Only then can the knife be cut from the beginning to the end.
As soon as the whole camel was put on the table, Song Huizong and other big shots immediately gathered around and saw that the camel had been roasted into a golden and red color, and was shiny. Judging from the color, it was obvious that it had been roasted evenly.
The reckless man on the right took a dagger handed by a servant. It was about half a foot long. The blade was emitting a cold light and was extremely sharp. He glanced at Li Qi.
Li Qi nodded, indicating that it was time to start.
I saw two rough men reaching out to grab the front and rear limbs of the camel respectively, turning it over so that the camel's belly was facing up. The rough man holding the dagger leaned forward. The hand holding the knife was straightened, just touching the camel's neck, and slowly
Insert it in.
When the blade was two-thirds deep, Li Qi shouted: "That's it."
The rough man immediately stopped reaching in, and started to slide the handle of the knife downwards. Judging from the speed, he was very cautious, especially when the blade moved to his belly, the rough man looked even more nervous and moved slower and slower.
Everyone's eyes were also wide open. Apparently, they had all guessed that there must be something inside the camel's belly. Otherwise, it would just be a one-size-fits-all approach.
Sure enough, when the man cut open the camel's belly, a burst of fragrance came over him like a huge wave, almost knocking the people around him down. When he took a closer look, he saw that there was an extra-large roasted lamb inside.
There was a burst of exclamation!
"No wonder the camel looked so big just now. It turned out to be stretched by the sheep." Cai Jing murmured to himself.
Can it be eaten?
This question popped up in everyone's mind at the same time.
But as the saying goes, good things come in hard times!
Judging from the look on the wild man's face, this was probably not over yet. I saw a few people changing to a shorter and sharper dagger, and split the sheep from its abdomen, doing so very slowly.
There was another uproar!
But I saw that there were twenty medium-sized chickens in the belly of this extra-large sheep.
Now it’s time to start eating!
Song Huizong was about to pounce on him. This was too tempting. Fortunately, Li Qi held him back and whispered: "Your Majesty, please wait a moment."
"Still waiting?"
Song Huizong exclaimed.
Li Qi nodded politely.
Sure enough, the man changed to a smaller dagger and slowly opened a chicken, only to see that the chicken was filled with golden rice, almonds, and pine nuts.
It’s finally the end! You can’t break the rice.
Everyone was so eager to wait that they really wanted to buy a piece of tofu and died.
Li Qi waved his hands to everyone in embarrassment, signaling them to be calm.
Everyone looked at him with dull eyes, and an urge to beat Li Qi arose spontaneously. Aren't you kidding us?
The rough man didn't pay attention to this, he put a clamp into the rice, and in a moment, he actually caught a pigeon.
Everyone was completely numb, and the greedy people in their bellies starved to death in an instant.
As the number increases, a lot of helpers come.
Song Huizong was extremely angry and rejoiced. He seemed to be consumed by this dish and said angrily: "If you have the ability, just keep hiding it. I will wait here, even if you wait until tomorrow morning."
As soon as he finished speaking, the little chefs who came to help cut open the abdomens of twenty pigeons at the same time with a knife and took out a small fish from inside.
Bang bang bang!
Song Huizong's face was instantly swollen.
Exciting! It’s so exciting.
It's like a bag within a bag. Everyone is looking forward to it. Now their minds are not on how this dish tastes, but when it will be finished.
Cai Jing felt as if he was about to die from waiting, and said feebly: "Li Qi, let's forget about this."
Li Qi was also very embarrassed and said: "Ah?---this---."
Cai Jing said in horror: "What else?"
Li Qi nodded awkwardly and said, "That's it - just the last step."
I saw the little chefs breaking open the fish again and taking out an oval-shaped object from inside.
This thing, Cai Jing is most familiar with, it is quail eggs.
To use the old saying, I have taken off my pants, just let me see this!
PS: I will continue to ask for recommendation votes and monthly votes on Monday...
