Although the ending is a bit regrettable, the whole process is like guessing an interesting serial puzzle, which is exciting and full of surprises.
But at this time, if I have to use one word to describe the scene in front of me, it can only be said---spectacular!
And it’s very spectacular!
Even Song Huizong, the best person in the world, was dumbfounded. He asked himself what he had never seen before, but he had never seen so much meat on one plate, and they were all whole. Not bad.
, Although the ingredients used in Wuxiang are dozens of times that of this dish, Wuxiang pays attention to restraint and does not expose it to the public. How can this dish be so arrogant? On the plate, there are camels, sheep, chickens, fish, pigeons,
The rice is piled up into a mountain, dazzling as far as the eye can see, and the golden piece shines with a gorgeous, dazzling, and alluring light. Of course, the most shocking thing is the extremely overbearing fragrance.
This was the first time in Song Huizong's life that he encountered such a strong visual and olfactory impact, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
Not to mention eating it, even just looking at it will make you feel satisfied.
Cai Jing felt his throat was a little dry and said, "How many chickens, pigeons, and fish are there?"
In fact, there are not so many chickens and pigeons that the number of people is countless. It’s just that so many animals are placed together, which makes people have an innumerable hallucination.
Li Qi, who had cooked Wu Xiang himself, simply said: "Not much, just one whole camel, one whole sheep, twenty chickens, twenty pigeons, twenty small fish, twenty quails
Eggs, twenty pounds of rice, four pounds of pine nuts, four pounds of almonds, and a few pounds of condiments."
Even if the condiments are weighed by the pound, is this still not much? Cai Jing forcibly resisted the urge to spit on Li Qi's face.
Li Bangyan stared blankly at the food on the table, swallowed his saliva, and asked curiously: "Li---Li Qi. What's the name of your dish?"
Li Qi snorted and said, "This dish has a very interesting and appropriate name, it's called Jiuzhan Magpie's Nest."
In fact, this dish is the most famous Arab dish, called roasted camel. It is said that in the Arab world, only the royal family can enjoy this dish. Not only that, this dish will also be regarded as "the most spectacular food in the world" in later generations.
"The good name. It also won the Guinness record with this "most" success.
However, in the chef world, this dish also has another name, called "calorie atomic bomb." This dish can only be called a delicacy for a banquet of more than ninety people. Otherwise, it is poison, even if it is served by twenty strong men.
If you eat them all here, you probably only have one life left.
"The dove takes over the magpie's nest?"
Song Huizong was stunned for a while, then laughed loudly and said: "Okay! This name is somewhat interesting, and it is indeed very appropriate."
Cai Jing, a gourmet, didn't care much about the name. The key was that there were too many things about this dish that made him curious. These curiosity made him not rush to eat it. Instead, he asked Li Qi: "Li Qi
, I just have a question that I haven’t figured out yet?”
Li Qidao: "Master, please tell me."
Cai Jing said: "This dish is one thing wrapped in one thing. No matter how high the fire is used and how long it is baked, it will probably be difficult to bake the food inside the camel. However, I look at your chicken and pigeon.
It’s already cooked, what’s going on?”
When everyone heard this, they thought it made sense and looked at Li Qi curiously.
So that's it! Li Qi smiled and said: "To be honest, what you just saw is just the last step of making this dish."
"oh?"
Cai Jing immediately cast two questioning glances at Li Qi.
Li Qi explained: "Although the process of this dish is not as delicate as Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, nor as complicated and strict as Wuxiang, it is not simple. There are a total of 108 processes. Strictly speaking, this dish started yesterday
The production started in the afternoon and was not completed until just now.”
"Didn't it take a whole day?" Song Huizong raised his eyebrows and asked. Since Wu Xiang was first, spending one day cooking a dish would not surprise Song Huizong too much. You have to know that Wu Xiang didn't know.
How many days did it take!
Li Qi nodded and said: "Exactly. This dish is similar to Buddha Jumping Over the Wall. Each ingredient needs to be processed separately. That is to say, each ingredient must be roasted first and then put in them one by one.
, and finally put the whole sheep into the camel and roast it together, so that the flavors of each ingredient can be integrated into one."
"It turns out that it is baked first and then put inside."
Cai Jing nodded first and then asked, "But how did you put them in one by one?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Eggs, fish, pigeons and chickens are very simple. You just need to roast them first, then put them into the belly, and finally sew them up with a needle and thread. The key is how to put the sheep into the camel. If
The process is the same as that of putting chicken into the belly of a sheep. The threads are easily burned by the fire, or cannot bear the weight of the sheep in the belly and break. As a result, the sheep may burst out during the baking process. Therefore, I
We chose to load the sheep from the camel’s buttocks, because during the roasting process, the force on the buttocks is minimal.”
Buttocks? Everyone subconsciously turned their attention to the camel's buttocks. One person suddenly exclaimed: "Bone needles?"
But there is a long slit on the camel's buttocks from the top to the end of the abdomen, like a centipede. However, this is not sewn with threads, but with bone needles ground from animal bones.
Neat and airtight.
Li Qi pointed his hand and said: "There are a total of eighty-four bone needles here. The main reason why I chose bone needles is that the bone needles are difficult to burn. Moreover, the bone needles will not destroy the camel's taste, and they are more delicious."
clean."
Everyone suddenly understood and nodded frequently. I am afraid that only the Golden Knife Chef King in the world could come up with this idea.
Finally explained clearly, Li Qi also let out a sigh of relief, clapped his hands, woke everyone up, and said: "Okay, everyone, now you can taste this delicious dish. However, I still have to explain it in order.
In a sentence, the value of this dish has now been fully demonstrated. One person always pays the same price---Hey, hey, don't glare at me. The rules are like this, and there is nothing I can do about it. I don't think this is high---
No, don't you want to eat the King's meal? You are all people of status--don't push me, don't push me--well, I know that's the case."
No one paid attention to him. They all surrounded him and threw Li Qi out of the crowd. He also cursed in his heart, "You kid has been keeping us appetizing for a long time. Who has the time to pay at this critical moment? I really don't know."
So called.
Those bartenders didn't dare to sell the wine just because the guests didn't pay. You know, the emperor was among them, holding a knife in his hand, greeting the guests.
What a misstep! What a misstep! I originally wanted to make a lot of money from this dish. I never thought that these sanctimonious guys are actually ordinary bandits. It’s really unreasonable. I should have collected the money first and then broken my stomach. It’s a big loss.
Li Qi stood outside the crowd, his eyes instantly turned red. He cursed fiercely in his heart, "Eat, eat, I hope you will be blown up into ashes by this calorie atomic bomb."
Although the portion of this dish is large, there are more people. In fact, each person can only share a small amount, and even the delicious food contained in this dish cannot be eaten.
After a while, the dish was divided cleanly, leaving only some scattered rice grains on the plate.
Tender and delicious grilled fish, browned and crispy on the outside, roasted whole lamb with soft and tender meat on the inside, etc., it is a dinner that makes people linger and have endless aftertaste!
These ministers wolfed down the food. It was delicious and delicious!
"Hmm, this camel meat is really delicious. It's neither woody nor greasy. It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it's full of flavor." Although Song Huizong was the emperor, he still didn't eat much camel meat, so he chose this camel for this bite.
Meat, holding a small plate in one hand, he sighed intoxicatedly.
Cai You began to pretend to be a gourmet and said: "Your Majesty, this squab meat is probably as good as Duo Ren. The meat is tender and delicious, especially the skin. If I am not wrong, it is also coated with
A layer of honey." He said and glanced at Li Qi.
He actually knows shit about food, so he just wants to find a sense of presence in front of Song Huizong. In fact, apart from being a flatterer and thick-skinned, he can't be compared with Cai Jing. This is why he is in front of Song Huizong.
The status in my mind is always lower than that of Cai Jing. After all, although Song Huizong was not a good emperor, he was definitely an artist. You must have this talent to become his confidant!
Damn it! Didn't you see that I was upset? Li Qi said angrily: "Look at what I do, the food that costs nothing must be delicious!"
How could this kid be so ignorant? Cai You immediately said angrily: "What did you say?"
Li Qi has always adopted a positive strategy towards Cai You, that is, I won't buy your fault. You can bite me if you can! He leaned over and said with a smile: "I said it must be delicious if you don't pay for it."
Cai You said: "Your Majesty, did you hear that? He is also mocking you. He should be punished for the crime he committed!"
Li Qi said innocently: "Mr. British, your complaint is baseless. I'm just telling the truth. How can I say it sarcastically? You should be very clear about this. Don't you have a lot of people in your family?"
Is it free stuff?”
"you---."
Song Huizong took this aspect very lightly, but he was willing to participate in it. He often competed with Li Qi secretly, waving his hands and saying cheerfully: "My dear, you have been fighting with him for more than a day or two. Don't you still have to fight with him?"
Do you know this kid? At this time, the more you quarrel with him, the happier he will be, and the more delicious we eat, the angrier he will be. Just leave him alone to sulk."
When Cai You heard this, he agreed. His expression changed, and he said to Li Qi: "So what? I just won't give you the money, what will you do to me?"
Damn you, you are such a scoundrel! Li Qi scolded: "British Sir, you are so shameless. I am afraid that even if you put it on the fire for three days and three nights, you can still keep it intact. You are too thick."
"You dare to scold me?"
"Who told you not to pay and then complain first? I won't scold you! If you don't accept it, let's go outside and do wrestling or something, so as to entertain the emperor and all the adults!" Li Qi said very arrogantly.
He likes to use force most when dealing with Cai You.
Are these still the first- and third-grade officials of the imperial court? They are simply scoundrels!
The two of them spoke louder and louder, and the ministers around them were dumbfounded.
Cai You was so angry that he was about to go crazy. Unfortunately, he didn't even have any servants around him. Even if he had, this is Li Qi's territory and he couldn't win! He said with a mournful face: "Your Majesty, Li Qi bullies people too much. How can you?"
You have to make the decision for me!"
Song Huizong coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "My dear, don't be afraid of him. Go and compete with him. I will definitely stand by your side."
Cai You was immediately stunned. This emperor was so unscrupulous. Aren't you trying to trick me into death? This guy would really be cruel to me! Song Huizong looked at Cai You's dumbfounded face and gloated over his misfortune.
He laughed and turned to Cai Jing and asked: "Aiqing, what do you think is the most delicious thing about this dish?"
Cai Jing also gave Li Qi two meaningful looks, indicating that he would stop as soon as he got along. After all, Cai You is also his son. Are you not slapping the Cai family in the face? Then he said: "Your Majesty, I think this is what I want to do."
The most delicious part of the dish is the rice.”
"How do you say this?"
Cai Jing said with a smile: "If the veteran tasted it correctly, Li Qi mixed all the seasonings into the rice, then scattered the rice into the gaps, and used the rice to season camels, sheep, chickens, and pigeons, but instead,
Come on, this rice also absorbs the essence of various foods, so it is not an exaggeration to call it the best."
Li Qi smiled and said: "The master is right, this rice is indeed the best part."
Song Huizong had just focused all his attention on the meat, but ignored the rice. After hearing what they said, he couldn't help but take a small bite of the rice, but he felt that the rice was indeed extraordinary, dry, fragrant, smooth and tender, with a deep flavor, as if
With just one bite, he tasted all the deliciousness of this dish. He nodded and said, "My two beauties are right, this rice is indeed very delicious."
