Su Daji glanced at Qi Yuan with some curiosity, then turned to King Zhou and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, you brought me just to see him. Isn't he just an old man who can cook? What's so good about him?
of."
Her voice is both charming and alluring, and when it reaches the ears, people can't help but feel a tingling sensation in their hearts.
This made several loyal ministers frown and secretly cursed the witch in their hearts.
However, even if they were dissatisfied with King Zhou for taking Daji with him when he went to court, there was nothing they could do.
As for those ministers with unstable minds, they were watching their hearts one by one, lest they reveal any other thoughts and anger King Zhou.
King Zhou heard this and smiled and comforted him: "My beloved, please be patient. Yesterday, I heard that all the ministers were praising this old man. I think he is quite capable, so why not let him show it off."
Su Daji nodded obediently and looked at Qi Yuan.
With her eyesight, she could see through Qi Yuan's depth at a glance. Qi Yuan's insignificant cultivation level was not considered in her eyes at all. He was just a little old man who could be destroyed with just a breath.
She opened her mouth lightly and asked Qi Yuan casually: "What kind of dishes do you know how to cook?"
Qi Yuan calmed down, he did not dare to have any thoughts about this thousand-year-old fox demon.
Before coming, he had already thought about how to deal with today's situation, and he felt that given King Zhou's love for Daji, it would be better to please Su Daji than to please King Zhou.
Remembering her status as a vixen, it shouldn't be difficult to target her taste.
"Reporting to the Queen, there are many things that ordinary people can cook. In fact, cooking is not just about being able to cook. The same ingredients can be made in different ways to create different tastes."
Qi Yuan stood in the hall and talked calmly: "After years of painstaking research, I have divided some of the best ingredients into upper, middle and lower treasures. Among them, the upper eight treasures are orangutan lip, hump, monkey head,
Bear paw, bird's nest, duck breast, deer sinew, yellow lip gum. The middle eight delicacies are shark's fin, white fungus, civet civet, tripe, anchovy, toad, fish lip, skirt. The lower eight delicacies are sea cucumber, asparagus,
Someone shamelessly takes all the credit for themselves.
"Of course, it doesn't mean that other ingredients can't make delicious food. As long as you use your heart, each ingredient can be used to its extreme. For example, when it comes to chicken, I have researched dozens of ways to make it with different flavors.
If you really want me to tell you exactly what I know how to cook, I can’t finish it in just a short while.”
For a moment, Qi Yuan almost wanted to name a dish for her, but unfortunately he was not as smooth-talking as a crosstalk actor.
"oh?"
Su Daji's eyes lit up, and Qi Yuan's words aroused her interest: "I don't know that just a piece of chicken can be cooked in so many ways. Just do it. If it is as you said, the king will definitely not treat you badly.
your."
Although she has been practicing for thousands of years, she has not achieved enlightenment after all. The nature of the fox tribe still exists. In addition, now that she has entered the palace to confuse King Zhou according to the order of Nuwa, she has corrupted the country. Of course, she also has to enjoy the rich food and clothing on weekdays.
After seeing the luxurious life in this world, I was very interested in what Qi Yuan said.
In fact, not only her, but also King Zhou and all the civil and military ministers were also shocked by Qi Yuan's words. They didn't expect that there was so much care about just eating.
Qi Yuan smiled faintly, showing a confident look, and said: "How dare you deceive the queen? I have been studying cooking skills for decades. The only way to make chicken is large plate chicken, three-cup chicken, spicy chicken, and braised chicken."
, rice wine chicken, saliva chicken, beggar's chicken, crispy chicken, mushroom chicken, sesame oil chicken, steamed ginseng chicken, kung pao chicken, scallion chicken rolls, etc., I won't list them one by one. Your majesty and empress appreciate it.
The little old man naturally obeys the order, but he needs some ingredients prepared in the palace, and then someone can bring the cooking utensils that the little old man is used to."
A look of difference flashed in King Zhou's eyes. He didn't expect that this old man was really capable and could actually tell so many unheard of dishes.
The ministers below were also whispering among themselves. Although some of them had sent their own cooks to learn from Qi Yuan, they did not expect that Qi Yuan's cooking skills were so unpredictable. They casually said that there were so many things that they had never heard of before.
At that moment, all the ministers couldn't help but look forward to it, wanting to see if Qi Yuan was really as powerful as he said.
"That's right."
King Zhou waved his hand, and his attendants immediately went down to prepare. As for the things Qi Yuan asked his disciples to bring, they were quickly brought into the palace for him.
In order to make it easier for King Zhou and his ministers to watch, the servants soon set up several kitchen stoves outside the palace for Qi Yuan to use.
Qi Yuan rolled up his sleeves, picked up the kitchen knife, and started working.
He has superb knife skills and cleans up various ingredients in an orderly manner. Thanks to his small success in practicing Qi, although his magic power is low, when he absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it improves his body quite well, so that he will not
Like other old people, I feel too tired.
The first thing to cook is the beggar’s chicken.
The cooking method of this dish is somewhat special, giving people the strongest sense of contrast, and its fragrance is unique. It will definitely be recognized by King Zhou and Su Daji immediately.
Because there was no special oven, and Qi Yuan did not plan to bake it under the stove, which would easily cause uneven heating. In order to save time, Qi Yuan planned to use firebending to bake it.
Not long after he started practicing Qi, his power was low, but he could still roast a chicken with ease.
What's more important is that demons are rampant in the ancient land, and people attach great importance to capable strangers. Although his skills are shallow, there is no problem in fooling these laymen to watch the fun.
Qi Yuan first ground the seasonings such as cloves, star anise, and salt into powder and spread them evenly on the whole chicken. Then he mixed the rice wine and used it as cooking wine, marinating it in the wine.
Then Qi Yuan pinched the magic formula, stretched out his finger, and used the fire control technique to light the firewood under the stove, added some lard to the pot, put in the onion and ginger and sauteed until fragrant, then added diced pork, river shrimp, diced mushrooms and other auxiliary ingredients.
Fry them separately in a pot, then stuff them into the chicken belly, wrap a few layers with lotus leaves, mix with the sealing mud on the wine jar and add water, and spread evenly on the outside.
This operation made King Zhou and others stunned. What is the operation of wrapping chicken in mud?
If Huang Feihu and others hadn't sworn to vouch for Qi Yuan, some ministers who had never seen Qi Yuan's cooking skills would have doubted whether he was a liar.
Qi Yuan ignored other people's comments and concentrated on doing his own thing.
I saw him chanting a mantra softly in his mouth, and flames suddenly rose between his hands. He wrapped the beggar's chicken in the middle and roasted it carefully.
As soon as this move came out, many ministers felt relieved.
Everyone is still optimistic about the strange person who knows magic.
Daji pretended to be surprised on her face and whispered to King Zhou, but in fact she was very disdainful of Qi Yuan showing off his magic in front of her.
With her thousands of years of practice, if she uses fire spells, she can melt gold and turn iron. Unlike Qi Yuan, who can only use it to make fire for cooking and pretending to be in front of ordinary people... so what.
After all, the flames were activated by magic power. They were different from ordinary fires and had a higher temperature, so the beggar's chicken was roasted very quickly.
Qi Yuan put the beggar's chicken on a tray and asked his attendants to bring it to King Zhou.
King Zhou and Daji stared at the mud ball in front of them with big eyes and small eyes. Is this thing edible?
"Sir, are you going to let the widow and your concubine eat mud?"
