Gao Yanei nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, yes, what Yuanwai said is absolutely right. But how is this wine made?"

At this time, there were also exclamations on the table nearby. You didn't need to look to know that it must be because of the snow grapes.

Cai Minde shook his head and said, "I don't know about that." After a pause, he said to Li Qi again: "Master Li can brew that Yaoxia Wushuang wine. I think he will be able to taste it."

Swish swish swish.

The crowd suddenly focused all their attention on Li Qi.

Li Qiwei said: "But I don't drink."

Cai Minde hurriedly said: "Hey, Mr. Li, those who achieve great things should not stick to trivial matters. Didn't Mr. Li never taste it when he brewed Yaoxia Wushuang?"

That's true. Li Qi nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll try this snow grape."

Hong Yaojiu immediately poured him a glass. Li Qi took the wine glass and took a sip. It was just as they said, chilled first and then warmed. It was mellow and delicious, probably on par with Yaoxia Wushuang.

Of course, Yaoxia Wushuang is not a kind of wine after all, it has a variety of flavors, so in real comparison, Yaoxia Wushuang is the better one, and Peerless Wushuang has not been released yet.

Cai Minde asked: "Master Li, have you tasted it?"

Li Qi was slightly startled and nodded.

Gao Yanei hurriedly said: "Then tell me quickly."

Li Qi said seriously: "Actually, Madam Zhang has already told us the key point of this wine."

Fan Shaobai frowned and said, "How do you say this?"

"The key lies in the three words 'Snow Grape'."

Li Qi sighed and explained: "If I'm not wrong, the grapes he used to make this wine are not from our Central Plains, but from the north. The weather in the north is cold, and there is heavy snow in some places in August, and that

It was the grape harvest month. They must have harvested the grapes during the heavy snow. After simple processing, they made wine directly. Since the grapes themselves have a chill, the wine they brewed looks like it has been chilled.

And wine has a warming effect, so this contrast makes its effect even more obvious."

After everyone listened, they suddenly understood and nodded frequently.

Cai Minde cupped his hands and said, "Young Master Li is indeed well-informed. Cai admires him."

Li Qi shook his head and said: "Where, where, I just guessed at random. As for whether this is the case, I'm not sure yet."

Fan Shaobai frowned and said, "If it is true as you said, then didn't his wine come from the north?"

"Probably."

"But now that the war is raging in the north, who has the ability to transport wine here?"

Cai Minde's eyes flashed. Could it be that the buyer behind the scenes came from the north?

There was a hint of coldness in the corner of Li Qi's mouth, and he said: "I don't know about this. You have to ask Mrs. Zhang."

Fan Shaobai hummed: "How could she tell us?"

At this moment, a strong fragrance suddenly came. When everyone smelled the fragrance and looked around, it turned out that Hong Yaojiu had opened the moon fragrance wine.

Chai Cong exclaimed: "Wow! This wine smells so good."

Li Qidao: "It's a rose flower."

Cai Minde nodded and said: "Yes, it seems that this wine is made from rose flowers, but we have also made wine with flowers, but the aroma is not so strong. I guess she must have added some special spices in it."

After just a while, the entire Jinlou was enveloped by this fragrance. Even people walking outside stopped in their tracks. They stood in front of the door and enjoyed the fragrance. It was really fragrant.

Li Qi's face became more and more solemn. This fragrance was undoubtedly the best and most direct advertisement.

Hong Yaojiu clicked his tongue and said, "This smell is really comparable to the smell of stinky tofu. I don't know which one is more powerful."

Li Qi said half-jokingly: "Xiao Jiu is right. If we had known this, we should have set up dozens of stinky tofu stalls around to compete with him."

Cai Minde laughed and said, "This is a good note."

Gao Yanei took a sip and immediately felt the aroma, as if there was a beauty hidden in the wine, which was very suitable for his taste. He said: "Hmm, this wine is really sweet. It will make your stomach smell better after drinking it. It will make you fart later."

They must all be fragrant.”

After everyone came in and listened, they all looked at each other with wry smiles and said nothing.

Obviously, these two wines caused quite a stir, and the guests were very satisfied with them, but the rest of their colleagues all had sad faces.

After a while, with a burst of hot aroma, female bartenders came out one after another carrying delicacies.

The first dish is "Dongpo Cuttlefish" named after Mr. Dongpo. These four words alone are very popular among the refined scholars. You must know that Sumen disciples are all over Yaoxia.

When the bartender brought the dishes to the table, he saw a dark red inkstone-shaped object on the plate, and there were some chopped green onions on the side. The copywriting made of fans was so ingenious that it took people's breath away. Hong Yaojiu

He immediately exclaimed: "Huh? Why is it an inkstone?"

Li Qi rolled his eyes at him and said with a smile: "What inkstone? This is just a fish made into an inkstone."

"But why do you do this?"

Chai Cong smiled and said, "I know that."

"Tell me, why is this?"

Chai Cong smiled slightly and said: "Actually, there is a story about this dish. This dish originally originated from Sichuan. It was little known at the time. It was not until Scholar Su went to Lingyun Temple to study that it became quite famous. It is said that

This is because Su University scholars often go to Lingyun Rock to wash inkstones. The fish in the river eat their ink, and their skin is as dark as ink. So people call it "Dongpo Cuttlefish". However, Madam Zhang was ingenious and made this fish

It's a wonderful way to make it look like an inkstone."

What a shame, Jing used Su Dongpo as a cover and refused to pay endorsement fees. It is really shameful. It seems that I will have to cook a delicacy named after Qingzhao next time. Li Qi felt resentful and unfair for Su Dongpo in his heart.

Cai Minde let out a long sigh and said: "Based on this story alone, the taste of this dish is no longer important." He felt very uncomfortable. The presence of Li Qi made him feel uneasy, and now there was another Zhang Chun'er.

Come on, what he is thinking about right now is not how to dominate Tokyo, but how to protect himself.

In an instant, Su Dongpo's name was heard all the time. Many talented people rushed to tell the story of this dish to their friends.

Li Qi shook his head helplessly, picked up the chopsticks and was about to taste it, when Chai Cong suddenly shouted: "What are you preparing?"

"Of course I want to try it."

Chai Cong smiled and said: "Yes, I almost forgot that this is a dish."

What IQ is o? Li Qi rolled his eyes, picked up a little fish, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, nodded slightly and said: "The skin is crispy and the meat is tender, sweet and sour with a hint of spicy, plus this story, it tastes true

It has a different flavor."

After everyone tasted it, they all nodded in agreement.

Soon, the second dish came, and it was the "Dengying Beef". Although there is less beef nowadays, it is still not difficult to get for a big restaurant like Jinlou.

Except for Li Qi, when everyone saw the plate of red beef slices, they felt as if they saw a fire in the winter. Their appetites suddenly increased, their saliva flowed, and they were full of warmth. But Li Qi felt

Very disdainful. In fact, he can also make this dish, and it is definitely much better than the one made by Gouda. However, because there is too little beef today, the cost is too high, which is not conducive to sales, so he did not make it.

Gao Yanei saw that there was nothing special about this dish except for its bright red color, and he asked curiously: "Why is this dish called 'Dengying Beef'?"

Chai Cong began to show off again and said: "It is said that this dish was named after the great poet Yuan Zhen of the previous dynasty. Because the beef slices are very thin, use chopsticks to pick them up. Under the candlelight, the red texture of the beef slices will appear on the wall.

It projects a clear red phantom, which is very interesting, so it is called 'Lamp Shadow Beef'."

Li Qi hummed and said: "Yes, the key to this dish lies in the selection of materials and knife skills. It must be beef shank meat and tenderloin, and it needs to be cut into paper-thin slices, which is not something I can do.

"

Cai Minde nodded and said: "Yes. But with Master Gu's knife skills, it is not difficult to do this."

Gao Yanei said thoughtfully: "It seems that we have to come again tonight to see if it is really so magical."

Cai Minde laughed, picked up a piece of beef, and tasted a piece. The thin slice of beef was not only delicious, but also chewy. He praised: "Hmm - spicy and delicious, it melts in the mouth. The taste is really good, you can taste it."

It’s so delicious, the four bucks are really worth it.”

He was born as a chef, so his comments are naturally very weighty.

Soon, the beef on the plate was snatched away by Hong Yaojiu and Gao Yanei, but Li Qi never moved his chopsticks. Cai Minde asked curiously: "Master Li, don't you like eating it?"

Li Qi smiled slightly and said, "I have herpes in my mouth, so I can't eat it." In fact, this was just his excuse. He was worried about his hand injury, so he didn't dare to eat it.

Next is the hall full of gold and jade that attracts everyone's attention.

Before the dish was even served upstairs, there were bursts of exclamations from downstairs. Li Qi was very confused when he heard it, but when the golden dish was presented, there was a golden light and everyone gasped.
