Chapter 968: Delicious Warriors (seeking a monthly ticket)
snails?
Song Huizong and others were surprised at first, but then they all showed a look of astonishment on their faces, because there was only one big loaf of bread on the plate, no snails, not even a small insect, so where could the snail-baked farmer's buns come from.
Liang Shicheng, who was not satisfied with the meal, asked curiously: "Li Qi, where is the snail you mentioned?"
Li Qi didn't say "guess!" any more. Instead, he simply pointed at the bread and said, "It's inside this bread."
"oh?"
Everyone raised their eyebrows and put snails into the bread. This was really innovative.
Li Qi smiled softly, reached out and picked up a fork, inserted it gently from the top of the bread, raised his hand, and easily forked the top layer of bread. It turned out that the bread had been divided into two, and the inside was also
A layer of it was dug out, giving it a concave shape. There were ten small holes on it, a bit like a lotus seat. There were several unknown objects protruding from the middle of each small hole. They were golden and hemispherical, shining like elixirs, and
The oldest one is only half exposed, but you don’t have to think about it, there must be a snail inside.
Without this snail shell, Song Huizong would definitely like this pastry. It looks delicious, but now it looks a bit disgraceful, like seeing a fly in a bowl of noodles.
The strange feeling I couldn't help feeling was even more disturbing than the sand-crawling bug just now.
Everyone is at a loss!
In fact, snails have been eaten by people a long time ago, but they are usually used as medicinal materials and food ingredients. I dare not say that they are not available, but they are extremely rare.
Li Qi didn't care how many people there were. Each person sent them a snail.
It's time for Liang Shicheng to show off again.
The remaining six contestants unanimously set their sights on Liang Shicheng.
Is it me again? Liang Shicheng felt extremely aggrieved. If Song Huizong hadn't been there, Cai Jingdou wouldn't have dared to do this if Song Huizong hadn't been there. Let alone the others. Looking at the "delicious food" in front of him, he was a little confused and asked: "
Li Qi, how do you eat this?"
Li Qi was stunned for a moment and said: "Oh, there are a pair of special chopsticks here. They are specially used for eating snails. Taiwei, just hold the snail in one hand and use the chopsticks to pick out the body of the snail and eat it. Don't worry, I will eat this snail."
The body and shell are treated separately, and then the body of the snail is put back into the shell, so no effort is required."
Really. What are you eating if you are disgusting? Liang Shicheng gave Li Qi a sissy look, causing the latter to immediately get goosebumps. He took the so-called special chopsticks and couldn't help cursing in his heart, what kind of special chopsticks are not?
Just two short and sharp little bamboo sticks.
Little did they know that he couldn't even be described as short and sharp.
As a result, Liang Shicheng reached out to pick up a snail under the gaze of everyone. He saw that this snail can be called extremely huge in the snail world, but the body of the snail was missing, and the mouth of the shell was blocked with a layer of paste. He picked up a snail with one hand.
Holding the snail shell, hold the two bamboo sticks in one hand and put it in through the mouth. After playing with it for a moment, pinch it gently. When you pull it, you will see a crystal clear object suddenly appearing in the middle of the bamboo sticks, and it is still bouncing in front of your eyes.
Suddenly, the strong fragrance of milk hit his face, making Liang Shicheng's eyes light up.
Since he had eaten all kinds of bugs before, when Liang Shicheng took the snail body out of the shell, he didn't feel sick anymore. He threw it into his mouth very quickly. As soon as he chewed it, his mouth suddenly formed an O shape.
Song Huizong and others looked at it with surprise. Li Qi looked at it in confusion and muttered to himself, "Will there be any problem?"
Liang Shicheng blinked his eyes, as if he felt something was wrong. He chewed for a while, glanced left and right, as if deep in thought, picked up another one and ate it, his face was calm, until he finished the third one, he
He said to Song Huizong: "Your Majesty, please try it quickly. This snail is really a delicacy in the world. It is more delicious than the previous dishes."
Li Qi understood instantly, I'm sorry you don't have "xiaojiji" because you're afraid you won't have enough to eat, so you eat until you're full first. It's so shameless, it really scared me just now.
He understood, and of course Cai Jing also understood. His dull hands suddenly became agile, and he immediately picked it up and started eating.
Song Huizong didn't think too much at this time. When he saw that they were all eating, he was not to be outdone. He followed the gourd and scoop, picked out the snail body and threw it into his mouth.
Liang Shicheng was right. This snail is indeed much more delicious than the previous dishes. It has a light buttery aroma, accompanied by a hint of wine. It is so beautiful. As for the taste of the snail itself, it can no longer be expressed in words.
The delicate and soft texture creates a wonderful and ecstatic illusion in the mouth, lingering on the tip of the tongue. No one can tell whether it is the delicacy in memories or the delicacy of the moment.
A snail made Song Huizong and others feel a sense of intoxication!
It took them quite a while before they realized what they were doing, but their first reaction was to look at the bread, but the bread was already filled with holes.
What about this last one?
When Song Huizong was about to ask Li Qi, he suddenly found that Li Qi was holding a snail shell in his hand, and he had the urge to slap Li Qi.
Li Qi felt embarrassed by him and said a little shyly: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks it is most suitable for Wei Chen to solve this last problem." You know, he also loves snails!
Liang Shicheng began to feel proud secretly. You always let me taste it first. Now I regret it. What I just ate was so enjoyable!
Seeing that Song Huizong didn't say a word, Li Qi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious, this last step is also made by a snail."
Song Huizong glanced at the long table to see where there was anything else, and then looked sideways at Li Qi.
"Your Majesty, wait a moment, wait a moment."
As soon as he finished speaking, a bartender came out with a stew pot. It turned out that the last dish was a soup. Of course, the soup had to be drunk while it was hot. If you had left it here, it would have been cold.
Li Qi smiled and said: "This dish is called walnut and snail soup. I present it to you. It is not included in the competition. You have to drink some soup after the meal."
As soon as the lid of the pot was lifted, Song Huizong smelled the aroma that was very familiar and said: "This is not ---."
Li Qi said hey: "The emperor is right, that is actually walnut and snail soup. The emperor came too suddenly last time, so Wei Chen - Wei Chen was forced to - - - -
.”
Song Huizong frowned and was about to speak when Cai Jing beside him suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, have you already eaten?"
"this---."
Song Huizong hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said: "This is the first time I have seen it." As he said that, he glared at Li Qi secretly and asked them to quickly serve the soup to skip this topic.
He tasted this delicious dish at Master Li's house last time. How dare you say more? If Li Qiyi accidentally let it slip, the civil and military ministers behind you are all woodcarvings. He had no choice but to endure it.
ah.
Li Qi's heart was as bright as a mirror, and he smiled secretly, then stopped as soon as he saw that it was good. He immediately helped each of them fill a bowl of soup.
Since there were a lot of people, each person only had a small bowl, and each person only had one snail in the bowl, which was really shabby! Because of this soup, it was not advisable to put too many snails in it, but it was precisely because of this that they drank continuously.
There is no dregs left.
After five consecutive dishes, the competition was finally over, but Song Huizong and others felt that they were still unsatisfied because they only tasted one bite of each dish. However, there was really nothing extra for them to enjoy because the preparation time was too long.
Missing. There is a serious shortage of materials. Everything is here. Li Qi also explained it to them in detail.
After Song Huizong learned about it, he felt very sorry.
It was okay for him, after all, he had a good time just now. Those onlookers originally wanted to wait until the competition was over and rush into the store immediately, but they didn't know that the store only had these few dishes, so they had the urge to curse!
Don't wait for such deception.
Li Qi couldn't care about the resentment in their hearts. After the competition, it was time to announce the results. But the problem was, there was only one Delicious Warrior Badge, and all seven of them had passed the level, who should it be given to?
Li Qi rubbed his hands and looked at Song Huizong. If he nodded, then the award could only be given to him. After all, he was the emperor.
Song Huizong was so happy with it that he had forgotten about it. Now that he heard Li Qi mention it, he remembered that he actually didn't care about it, because the emperor already represented everything, and any honor was just a cloud. He couldn't help but look at Cai Jing again.
, said: "Cai Aiqing, what do you think?"
Cai Jing knew Song Huizong's character very well and knew that he didn't care about these things. He pondered for a moment and suddenly smiled: "I thought that this badge must belong to the Taiwei!"
Li Bangyan also said: "It's the best, it's the best. The Taiwei just now can be said to be a brave man without fear, which makes us ashamed. This badge must belong to the Taiwei!"
Although Liang Shicheng looks like a slave here, he actually has more power than Cai Jing, and Li Bangyan is even more late for the trip.
Liang Shicheng originally wanted to say a few words of humility, but unexpectedly, both Irt and Muhammad gave him a thumbs up, exaggerating that he was a true warrior. This made Liang Shicheng feel a little elated. How could he have imagined that he could still be like a "warrior" in this life?
A title is associated with something.
He could not have imagined it, and Li Qi even more could not have expected it. He couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. This warrior badge was actually awarded to a eunuch. Damn, what kind of trouble is this! But you can't say that. He said hehe: "Taiwei, I am also a low-ranking official.
I think this badge belongs to you." He then turned to the crowd and said, "Do you think so?"
How dare those ministers offend Liang Shicheng? They all said in unison: "Yes."
Master Liang was so happy that his eyes were filled with laughter, and he said: "Then---then our family will be disrespectful."
After the person was selected, it was time to award the badge. It turned out that the badge was a jade pendant, shaped like rice and wheat.
Li Qi explained: "We, the people of the Song Dynasty, eat all whole grains. Rice and wheat are undoubtedly the most beautiful food in the world, and they also represent the diligence and bravery of thousands of people in the Song Dynasty. They are all real warriors. Therefore,
, I made this warrior badge like this."
As soon as he said this, the value of the badge doubled.
Liang Shicheng took the jade pendant. He was very happy. He originally wanted to hang it on his waist, but then he thought it would be better to keep a low profile, so he put it in his arms instead!
Song Huizong saw Liang Shicheng's expression, smiled softly, and suddenly said loudly: "Li Qi, from now on, the three dishes of sandworms, baked snails, and the drunken flying shrimp will be included in the tribute."
As soon as these words came out, there was another uproar.
Li Qi hurriedly saluted and said: "Yes!"
With tributes leading the way, why not worry about this insect delicacy not becoming popular all over the world.
Song Huizong was in a good mood and asked again: "Li Qi, what should we do next?"
Li Qi glanced at the sky and saw that it was already evening, so he said: "Your Majesty, there will be a big play that will be performed later. Please move to the booth in front to watch it."
"Big drama?"
Song Huizong and others were interested immediately. There must be some entertainment after dinner, otherwise it would be boring!
After a while, some servants came forward to invite Song Huizong and a group of ministers to the shed in front. But Li Qi was not in a hurry to go, he still had to deal with some aftermath matters here.
But not long after Song Huizong and the others left, Ma Qiao suddenly came. He was Li Qi's personal bodyguard, so he could naturally enter here at will.
"Bu Shuai, something serious has happened."
Ma Qiao quickly came to Li Qi's side and whispered.
Li Qi looked at his nervous expression and frowned: "What happened?"
Ma Qiao whispered a few words in Li Qi's ear.
Li Qi heard everyone stunned, and after a moment, he said: "You are not kidding me, are you?"
Ma Qiao said angrily: "I didn't play tricks on you, or the yamenei played tricks on you."
Li Qi glanced sideways and said depressedly: "Your surname is Ma, why can't you even pat your own butt!"
Ma Qiao was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was saying. He was speechless for a while and blurted out: "You took pictures of them all." As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately felt that this was a bit strange and seemed extremely embarrassing.
Li Qi looked up at Ma Qiao in surprise, nodded and said, "I've made progress, I've learned to use innuendo."
