The delicacy "Jiu Zhan Magpie's Nest" can't help but bring taste, smell and visual enjoyment to the guests, and its unique baking method has also become a hot topic among everyone.
To be honest, the procedure of breaking the abdomen just now is even more memorable. Looking back now, I find it very interesting and unforgettable.
Although this dish was very delicious, the guests did not eat a lot, and there was not much for them to eat. Song Huizong only tasted a small bite of each dish, but even so, they still felt a little full, so they did not do too much here.
Stay, go outside, stroll the streets lazily, and immerse yourself in the ocean of delicious food.
Before I knew it, I had arrived at the middle end of the street.
Zhao Huan suddenly pointed forward and said, "Why are there so many people standing in front of you?"
Song Huizong looked up and saw a lot of people gathered in front of a store. Their heads were shaking and he felt curious. He was about to go up and take a look. Li Qi turned his eyes and suddenly pointed to a store on the left and said: "Your Majesty, you
I have eaten a lot of greasy food just now, so why not go to this store to eat something to relieve the greasiness? To be honest, this store has two new types of dishes that are unparalleled in the world. In addition, the dishes are almost not greasy at all, and the flavor is extremely unique.
"
When he said this, he immediately diverted Song Huizong's attention. He also felt a little greasy in his stomach and said with a smile: "The new style is unparalleled in the world, so I have to go in and take a look."
The group of people immediately entered the store, which was very quiet and not full. This was the first time they encountered this situation on this street. Song Huizong was curious and asked: "Why are there not many people here?"
The implication is that you said the dishes here are unique, but why don't many people come here?
"His Majesty!"
A man came forward, bowed and saluted.
This person is none other than Fujiyoshi Miki.
Li Qixiao asked: "Mr. Tengji, how does the food here compare to your Japanese food?"
Tengji Miki was a little embarrassed, but he still said: "The cooking skills of the Golden Knife Chef King are really the best in the world, Tengji is convinced."
From the conversation between the two of them, it is not difficult to tell that this is a Japanese-style dish. But today’s Japanese cuisine is still in the process of being nurtured. It can even be said that there is no such thing as Japanese cuisine in the world. Naturally, it cannot be compared with the dishes made by Li Qi.
compared to.
Song Huizong laughed and said: "Mr. Teng Ji, your Japanese-style dishes don't seem to be very popular?"
Tengji Miki said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, you don't know. In fact, this place was full of people just now, but not long ago, an extremely strong fragrance attracted all the guests away."
When Song Huizong and others heard this, they immediately realized that the fragrance must have been emitted by the "dove occupying the magpie's nest" just now. Cai Jing smiled and said: "Then why didn't Mr. Teng Ji go?"
Tengji Miki said truthfully: "To be honest, I also went there. It's just that I'm not used to eating greasy food, so I looked at it for a while and then came back. I still like the fine wine and food here."
Li Qi stretched out his hand and said, "Your Majesty, let's sit down and talk."
"That's fine. That's fine."
Since there were no chairs in the store, only tables and cloth mats, a few people came to sit down at a round table by the window. This round table was relatively large and short, and could seat up to ten people.
A few people sat down cross-legged, and a bartender immediately came up to ask. Li Qi said: "Let's bring a bottle of plum wine and two bottles of sake first. The dishes will be served later."
Because Song Huizong and others had already eaten a lot. If they were served immediately, the effect would be greatly reduced.
"Sake? Plum wine?"
Song Huizong was surprised and said: "Are these the two new worlds that you mentioned are unparalleled?"
"Exactly."
Song Huizong wondered: "But this sake has existed since the Zhou Dynasty."
Li Qi smiled and said, "This sake is not that sake. Your Majesty will know after he tastes it."
Soon, the wine was served, with three bottles in total. Since it was winter, the drinking method was hot drink. The wine smell and the steaming heat came out together, exuding a sharp fragrance.
The bartender carefully poured a glass of sake for everyone at the table.
Song Huizong saw that the wine was as clear as water and had a unique aroma. It was really different from the original sake. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He felt that the wine had a refreshing temperament, and there was no turbidity in his mouth.
Feeling so impressed, I couldn't help but nod my head and praise: "The taste is pure, soft and refreshing. It can be ranked among the best in the world. They are indeed top-quality wines."
This sake is also known as Japanese sake in later generations, but since it does not exist yet, Li Qi could only reluctantly include it in the unparalleled series.
Li Qi smiled and said: "Actually, Weichen started brewing this kind of wine the year before last, and it is still brewed today. This kind of sake is also based on the brewing method of rice wine, with slight changes to make it taste better and more pure.
.Not only that, this kind of sake is divided into men and women."
Li Bangyan was surprised when he heard this and said: "What did you say? This wine is also divided into men and women?"
Song Huizong said quickly: "Li Qi, please tell us how to distinguish men and women in this wine."
Fuck! They are indeed a group of prostitutes. You are so interested in putting men and women together. Li Qi secretly despised it, but still explained: "Actually, it is very simple to separate them. Youdao is a man
Like iron, extremely hard, women are like water, soft and charming. The same is true for wine. If you brew sake with hard water, it will be called 'man's wine'. If you brew it with soft water, it will be called 'man's wine'.
"Women's wine', the sake with the strong aroma of alcohol that you just tasted is 'man's wine'."
Cai Jing frowned and said, "Isn't water soft? Why is there such a distinction between soft and hard?"
Oops! I forgot that there is no such thing as soft water or hard water these days. How should I explain it? I use too technical terms and they can’t understand it! Li Qi pondered for a moment and said: "I dare to ask you, is there a difference between water springs and rainwater?"
?”
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty lived in the palace and didn't know much about this. However, Fujiyoshi Miki traveled all over the country and saw a lot. He muttered: "Most spring water has a hint of sweetness, but rainwater is colorless and odorless."
Li Qi nodded and said: "Yes, any water that has a taste can be called hard water, such as well water, spring water, stream water, and river water. If it is tasteless and comes from heaven, it can be called soft water, such as rainwater and snow water.
.It is said that women are given to men by God, and this is also true for water.”
In fact, this is just a very general classification method by Li Qi. In later generations, the soft water and hard water method required professional equipment. The key is to measure the calcium, magnesium compounds and other chemical substances in the water. If a chef wants to participate in any heavyweight competition, he must use water.
The standards have to be very fine, and soft water and hard water must be distinguished, but then again, in later generations, water pollution is too serious. It is difficult to get pure natural hard water or soft water, so, generally speaking
, this aspect of water, later generations of dishes will never be able to achieve perfection.
This is why although today's seasonings are far from comparable to those of later generations, the dishes made by Li Qi are not less delicious but more flavorful. That's because the ingredients these days are many times stronger than those of later generations, and the taste is extremely delicious.
As far as pork is concerned, the pork of later generations cannot be compared with it. For Li Qi, this is simply a coveted treasure house.
Song Huizong laughed and said: "Li Qi, your opinion is very unique. A good woman is given to a man by God, haha!"
Damn! I’ve said so much, why don’t you just remember this sentence, what do you mean? Li Qi really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Cai Jing exclaimed: "I didn't expect this water to be so particular."
Li Qi nodded and said: "The Grand Master is right. In cooking, many dishes require designated water to bring out the deliciousness of the food to perfection. Wine is water, let alone water."
Li Bangyan pointed to the remaining two bottles of wine and said, "Li Qi, which of these two bottles is the 'woman's wine'?"
Li Qi asked: "Prime Minister Zuo, we are all men here, why do we drink women's wine?"
Li Bangyan was stunned for a moment, then said with a lewd smile: "Li Qi, you can't say that. Taoism has a saying about the fusion of yin and yang, and the same is certainly true for wine. Men should drink 'women's wine'."
Song Huizong and others immediately burst into laughter.
These old perverts, one day you will die on a woman’s belly. Li Qi pretended to smile shyly, distanced himself from these perverts, pointed at the white jade wine bottle, and said: "
This bottle is the 'woman's wine', and the remaining bottle is plum wine."
Li Bangyan immediately waved to the bartender.
The bartender poured another glass of sake for each of them. This wine looked the same as the previous one, but it lacked the strong smell of alcohol.
Song Huizong and others couldn't wait to take a sip. They felt that the wine was soft, delicious and sweet, with a refreshing, smooth and delicate aftertaste. It was not an exaggeration to call it a woman's wine!
Li Bangyan applauded: "What a 'woman's wine', she really lives up to her name!"
Cai Jing became more and more curious as he tasted the food, and said, "I didn't expect that just because of the difference in water, the taste is so different."
Li Qi explained: "Actually, the reason is very simple. Since this wine is made from soft water, the fermentation is incomplete and the sugar in the rice cannot be converted into alcohol, so it has a sweet taste and a soft taste."
Although it was difficult for Song Huizong and others to understand the meaning literally, based on what Li Qi had said before and years of wine tasting experience, they made guesses and nodded their heads, which was very interesting.
Tasting wine is like tasting women, it is always a natural hobby for men.
After tasting this sake, the next natural thing is plum wine. In simple terms, plum wine is wine made from plums. However, since the distilled wine was brought by Li Qi, this one is made from plum wine and steamed wine.
Song Huizong and others had never drunk plum wine.
As soon as you pour this wine, you will know it is extraordinary.
But I saw the champagne-colored liquid pouring into the wine glass, exuding bursts of fragrance, and the color and fragrance were alluring.
There is no need to say too much about this noble color. Song Huizong and others tasted it immediately without saying a word. In the mouth of the wine, at first they only felt the sweet and fruity aroma, and then they felt the strong taste of the wine. The two styles blended into one.
, which was particularly intoxicating. Gao Qiu couldn't help but sigh: "This wine tastes like concentrated plum juice. It is indescribably rich and sweet. It is truly unparalleled in the world!"
The others also nodded one after another and were full of praise.
