Chapter 31 BBQ
Qin Degui quickly waved to two little eunuchs and told them to clean them up without any soil.
After sending the little eunuch, Qin Degui smiled and said, "Uncle, come with the little one and see what good things the little one has prepared for you?"
"Okay, I want to see what good things you have prepared?" Li Zhongyi followed Qin Degui back to the camp with a smile. He knew that Qin Degui wanted to please him, and there was no need to disappoint others at this time.
No matter what purpose Qin Degui is for, kindness is always kind. Li Zhongyi is not Qin Degui's direct boss, so he naturally has to give him some face.
Qin Degui lifted the curtain, and Li Zhongyi stepped into the camp. Taking advantage of the afterglow of the sunset, Li Zhongyi discovered that a complete set of exquisite tea sets were placed in the middle of the tent.
"Uncle, although the young man is illiterate, he knows that you are a very knowledgeable scholar, so he dares to take the initiative and prepare a set of tea utensils for you." Qin Degui said in a modest way, but a little complacent appeared between his eyebrows and eyes.
Although Li Zhongyi was not used to the way he needed to add a lot of ingredients to drink tea in this era, it did not affect his acceptance of Qin Degui's kindness. He smiled and said, "Degui, it makes you worry."
Qin Degui heard Li Zhongyi call his nickname and the smile on his face became more and more uncontrollable. He lowered his waist and said, "Sustaining good uncle, you are the duty of a villain, and you can't bear your praise."
Li Zhongyi smiled slightly and said, "Daoqi, you are doing well, I like it very much. Looking back, when Mr. Huang is free, you must invite him over for tea."
The meaning in this sentence is extremely rich and easy for people to think about.
Qin Degui smiled brighter and brighter, lowered his waist and asked about his well-being, fearing that the service would be inadequate and not careful.
Only by being convenient to others can one be convenient to oneself. Li Zhongyi never minds doing more things that are convenient to you and can be beneficial without any effort.
In his previous life, in Li Zhongyi's experience, some very talented experts fell to the eve of the next level because of their poor popularity.
Character determines destiny!
Li Zhongyi remembers it very clearly that when the old dean was about to retire, his votes were far more than his biggest competitors.
To be honest, Li Zhongyi's technical level is very limited even if he is smarter.
In the end, the nod of the superior, the patient's satisfaction, and the good popularity below, all three formed a joint force, pushing Li Zhongyi to the position of succession.
If it weren't for the unlucky encountering a car accident, Li Zhongyi would now be the director-level director who enjoys the treatment of a deputy minister.
Whether it is the salary and bonus of cadres and employees, going abroad for training (travel), or signing a contract with meals, it is just a matter of his words.
The so-called "being an official" to be a deputy is just the sour words that some deputy officials who are eager to be the top leader but fail to compete in private are just the sour words they say in private, and they are not worth mentioning at all!
What Li Zhongyi did not expect was that, in addition to having a clever mouth, Qin Degui's skills in making tea were really amazing, as if he was walking around, which was astonishing.
Three hundred and sixty lines, and the top scholar will be produced in every line.
It seems that it is not easy to be a good eunuch in the palace!
After the spring water was boiled, Qin Degui grabbed a handful of onions, ginger and other items. Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Zhongyi waved his hand and said, "I don't like adding these things, so I'll drink tea."
Qin Degui was a little surprised, but he thought it was just Li Zhongyi's quirk, so he didn't care much about it.
Li Zhongyi drank the Emei Snow Buds without anything added and couldn't help but nod. The pure natural and pollution-free spring water in this era, and the tea made was sweet and delicious.
After several cups of tea, the little eunuch came in and told me: "Mr. Qin, I have all the utensils for roasting meat."
Qin Degui asked the little eunuch: "It's all silver frost charcoal? If it's black charcoal, the taste of roasted meat is far from the same."
The little eunuch smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Qin, you are lucky. When the little Liu Zi, who sent the goods, saw that the little one went, he immediately gave him a good silver frost charcoal. He also said, if it is not enough, just go and get it."
Qin Degui smiled proudly and said, "Little Liuzi has some insight."
The little eunuch laughed and said, "Little Liuzi used to be short and small, and he was short of money and was able to deduct good things. This time, thanking Mr. Qin's blessing, the little one finally became proud."
"Gaga, good days are still coming." Qin Degui was proud and took it a little bit, but Li Zhongyi just pretended not to see it and savored the tea carefully.
Everyone cleans up the snow in front of the door, don’t worry about the frost on others. Many disasters are just for forcing them to make a move!
It is rare to be confused by knowing what you don’t know. This is a famous saying that Li Zhongyi deeply understood in his previous life.
When Li Zhongyi walked out of the camp, he lit countless bonfires from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, which were endless and the scene was extremely spectacular.
The tempting mutton fragrance and the cumin fragrance that is very irritating, drifting into the nose with the breeze in the mountains, making people feel very appetizing.
Qin Degui found that Li Zhongyi was a little curious and looked around, and explained with a smile: "The Concubine likes the excitement. His Majesty used to like quietness, but now he likes the excitement."
The messages hidden in these words are extremely rich, and Li Zhongyi just nodded and smiled without saying a word.
[Note: Xiaoyao Hou's book friend has already built the skirt, the skirt number: ⑦⑤②⑥⑦⑦⑥ (eight digits, zero in the middle). Brothers are welcome to come in and discuss the plot.]
Li Zhongyi sat in front of the bonfire. The dogwood he had picked had been ground into powder as required, except for a few remaining seeds.
To be embarrassed, although the Li family is an official family, Li Zhongyi, the eldest son, rarely has the opportunity to eat roasted meat.
In Li Zhongyi's impression, the memory of roasted meat is already very vague.
Because of this, Li Zhongyi was quite curious about how to make roasted meat in this era?
The chef was busy with everyone's dinner on the bonfire. After careful observation, Li Zhongyi found that roasted meat was actually roasting the very thin mutton on bamboo sticks.
The little eunuchs sat in a ball around the bonfire. Because of Qin Degui's special courtesy, Li Zhongyi placed a small table in front of him, with a pair of bowls and chopsticks and a few white porcelain plates.
In the plate, cumin, pepper, pepper, green onions and slightly yellowed salt grains are roughly prepared. These seasonings for later barbecue are roughly complete.
In a short while, the little eunuch took the meat plate from the chef's hand and gently placed it on the table in front of Li Zhongyi.
Li Zhongyi picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of roasted mutton slices, dipped them in some seasonings, and threw them into his mouth.
After careful taste, Li Zhongyi found that although the chef's skills were good, the flavor was always worse because the seasonings were not mixed together during the barbecue.
Moreover, for people like Li Zhongyi who likes to eat spicy food, although pepper and pepper are spicy, they are far from spicy.
Qin Degui discovered that as long as Li Zhongyi picked up the roasted meat, he would definitely dip the powder that he could not name.
Seeing that Li Zhongyi was eating sweetly, Qin Degui couldn't help but lean over and salivate and said, "Uncle, what's this name?" His eyes turned around in the plate of Zhuyu.
Li Zhongyi smiled and introduced: "This is called dogwood. If you are not afraid of spicy food, you can try it."
Qin Degui picked up a piece of roasted lamb, dipped it in dogwood and stuffed it into his mouth. Before he could chew it for a few bites, his face turned red and he quickly vomited it out.
Li Zhongyi shook his head. This was just a dogwood equivalent to chili pepper. If it were Chaotian pepper from Guizhou in later generations, Qin Degui would probably become the first eunuch in China to be killed by spicy food?
The imperial "daughter red" in the palace was said to be very expensive by Qin Degui, which is extremely rare. In fact, Li Zhongyi, who is used to drinking 53-degree five-star Moutai, did not catch a cold for this low-alcohol wine that is similar to Xiaogan rice wine.
The wine was not good, and the barbecue was also average, and Li Zhongyi's appetite dropped significantly.
Qin Degui found that Li Zhongyi had put down his chopsticks and asked quickly: "Uncle, isn't roasted meat delicious?"
Li Zhongyi glanced around and found that everyone was barbecuing or eating meat. No one paid attention to them, so he waved to Qin Degui to his side.
"You go and find the chef and say I have unique skills and can teach him." Li Zhongyi said it very tactfully, but Qin Degui knew that this uncle must not have eaten well.
The chef stood in front of Li Zhongyi in fear and fear, feeling extremely nervous. Although Qin Degui's uncle was just a small doctor, he was the brother of Huang Qing, the current minister and the commander of the Yeting Order.
Huang Qing's protection and indifference are notoriously powerful in the palace. Moreover, the serious consequences of offending Huang Qing were almost everyone who knew the palace maids, eunuchs and servants in the palace.
Seeing that the chef was so scared that his face turned pale, Li Zhongyi smiled and comforted him, "It's not easy to be afraid. I'm just a little bit of something I want to ask you for help."
"As long as it is done by a villain, you can just give it your order." The chef found that Li Zhongyi's attitude was gentle, and the hanging heart finally put it back in his stomach.
"Come here, I tell you, you should barbecue like this..." Li Zhongyi called the chef to his side and whispered twice until the chef understood his intentions and then gave up.
After the chef left, Li Zhongyi looked at his back and couldn't help but sigh secretly. If it weren't for this evil and strict Hou Shu Kingdom, if he was not an official, then he would have the courage to roll up his sleeves and have a self-service barbecue in front of everyone.
Unfortunately, in this era when gentlemen were far away from cooking, Li Zhongyi personally barbecued meat in public. As long as the news spreads, he will definitely be criticized by the scholars and officials and his reputation will be inaudible.
For the future, Li Zhongyi had to endure internal injuries even if he endured internal injuries.
Under Li Zhongyi's gaze, the chef lifted up the kitchen knife, cut a large piece of mutton fat into thin slices, and then found a large pot of boiling water and put it on the bonfire.
After the big pot was spicy, the chef poured the mutton fat into the pot and began to refine the oil.
Li Zhongyi nodded while watching. He was worthy of being the imperial chef in the palace. His sword skills were indeed good and his comprehension was not bad.
Following Li Zhongyi's instructions, the chef found a few long bricks, built the prototype of a modern barbecue stove, poured silver frost charcoal into it, and ignited it.
Then, the chef skewed the cut lamb onto the bamboo stick and put it on the white porcelain chopstick stand.
Because there was no special brush for seasonings, the chef was quick to tell and simply wrapped a white handkerchief in his hand and wiped it with his hands.
After seeing it, Li Zhongyi nodded repeatedly, saying that a child can teach him!
Apply seasonings, turn over, apply lamb oil, turn over, apply seasonings, turn over...
Soon, the new barbecue made according to Li Zhongyi's request was placed in front of Li Zhongyi.
Under the chef's nervous gaze, Li Zhongyi picked up the chopsticks, picked up an "authentic" kebab and put it in his mouth.
As soon as the barbecue was in the mouth, Li Zhongyi discovered that except for the slightly worse spicy and salty flavors, there was not much difference from modern barbecue.
With a bite of barbecue and a bite of "Daughter Red" rice wine, Li Zhongyi finally had the most satisfying dinner when he came to the Later Shu Kingdom.
