Chapter 272 The tip of the iceberg
"The Spirit Clan and the Spirit Clan are originally the same race?"
Li Qi was shocked, looked at Pengpeng, and wondered: "I... why have I never heard them mention it?"
Peng Peng said, "That's because whether it is the spirit or the spirit, they have always been very taboo to pull other races together. If you mention this in front of them, they will really get angry, and they are not easy to mess with. Therefore, everyone doesn't mention it at all. Our kingdom also divides them into two races. Over time, this matter has been diluted. Even if there are many royal races in our kingdom, they don't know about it at all. They think they are two races, and even if they know, they won't say it. It's normal that you haven't heard of it. In fact, to be honest, I heard it secretly from Zijin Gong."
No wonder, no wonder they are so similar, with essence and spiritual energy. It turns out that they are originally a race. Li Qi immediately understood it completely.
......
However, the atmosphere on the square is not as leisurely as them. Although it is not tense, it is not harmonious.
Just then, I suddenly heard a laugh from the stairs, "It's so lively!"
I saw three royal families coming down from the stairs, one in the middle was Zhu Jiuyin, and the one on his left was an old man with white hair and hunched body, but the old man's eyes were bright and bright, giving people a feeling of being arrogant without anger. He was wearing a blue robe, and he was the Blue Gold War Clan and Water Qilin.
The one on the right is wearing a black robe, a melon-shaped face, beautiful eyebrows, sharp eyes, serious smile, and slanted eyes. He is the Black Gold War Clan, Jiuying.
Yue's mother Chang Xi looked up and smiled and said, "Three war tribes, long time no see."
As soon as they arrived, the solidified atmosphere in the square suddenly eased.
"Long time no see." Zhu Jiuyin nodded and smiled, saying, "We are here to welcome you by the king's order."
The Kunlun mother suddenly smiled and said, "Why didn't you see Zijin Gong?"
Zhu Jiuyin just smiled helplessly at this and didn't even want to find excuses. It can be seen that Taotie has already become famous, and everyone knows in their hearts what kind of virtue Taotie is, so of course it's not surprising.
Just then, I suddenly heard a muffled thunder sound.
"It seems that God has arrived too!"
Zhu Jiuyin turned his eyes and saw two huge wilderness clans walking up the stairs. The one who walked in front of him was a pair of ram horns on his head, bent back, naked with his upper body, big shorts under his long fluffy hair, a pair of eyes that seemed to never wake up, and behind him was Kuafu.
"Ah...sorry, sorry, it seems I'm late again!"
The god yawned and scratched his head.
Zhu Jiuyin smiled and said, "It's not too late. God is just here. The king is already waiting for you to arrive in the King's Hall above."
As he said that, he turned sideways slightly and raised his hand to lead him upwards.
Chang Xi took the initiative and went up the steps side by side with Kunlun Mother Qinghou.
The spirit master Houtu was just the opposite of him. He took a small step back and reached out to the heavens very politely.
"How embarrassed is this."
The God scratched his head and smiled, but he still got to the stairs.
The spirit master Houtu and Ren Nu are the last step to reach the level.
The spirit master Houtu suddenly sighed softly and said, "I really shouldn't have brought you here."
The eyelids of Ren girl are drooping and are so depressed.
......
"That person is the leader of the Great Wilderness clan, Xing Tiangong."
Pengpeng pointed to the Great Wilderness Tribe Road on the stairs.
"Mr. Xing Tian?" Li Qi opened his eyes.
Peng Peng shook his head repeatedly and said, "It cannot be called Xing Tian. Xing is his name. Heaven is a respectful title, but generally everyone respects Heaven."
Li Qi nodded and said, "That's right!"
Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind, "What are you doing here?"
Li Qi and Pengpeng looked back and saw Taotie looking at them expressionlessly.
Pengpeng immediately pointed at Li Qi and said, "It is Li Qi who is very curious about the leaders of all the perfect races. Because he has never seen him before, I will accompany him to see him."
Damn! I am worthy of being the famous second senior brother, and I am also drunk. Li Qi hurriedly explained: "We just looked for early ingredients here, just take a look."
Taotie said lightly: "If you want to know them, I can introduce you to them."
"No, no!"
Li Qi waved his hands repeatedly and said embarrassedly: "Where do I have the right to know them."
Taotie said, "Then why are you still staying here?"
"Mr. Zijin said, then... then we'll leave... let's go."
Pengpeng hurriedly pulled Li Qi away.
Li Qi whispered, "Pengpeng, you are so unfaithful that you actually pushed it on me."
Peng Peng said: "This is called strategy."
"Strategy?"
"Yes! You were invited by Mr. Zijin. You will go back then. We are different. I want to meet Mr. Zijin every day, so you can take care of it. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
"Depend on!"
"Are you scolding me?"
"Of course not, it means praise."
"Oh. Then I'll depend on you too. Hehe."
“…!”
Taotie walked up slowly, looked at the steps leading to the King's Palace, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, "This time the century banquet must be very lively. You can make a fuss and quarrel at that time. If you eat, leave it all to me."
......
Indeed, Li Qi is too far away from those big guys now. He is not here to attend the century banquet, but to cook, that's all.
Li Qi was also very self-aware. He didn't think too much and stayed in the kitchen to do things honestly.
"Roasted duck again?"
Taotie saw the roast duck on the plate that was bigger than the suckling pig. Although the roast duck was shiny and looked very good, he frowned.
Li Qi said: "What's wrong?"
"I ate the roast beef the day before yesterday, the roast pig the day I ate the roast duck today, why do you cook all the dishes now?" Taotie complained like a child.
Li Qi smiled and said, "Pengpeng and the others told me that the tradition of the century feast is to eat barbecue, so..."
Before he could finish his words, Taotie said, "Didn't he tell you that the dishes this time are all up to you, and it's okay not to eat barbecue."
Pengpeng hurriedly came out and said, "Zijin Gongmingjian, I have told Li Qi about this."
Li Qi nodded and said, "Pengpeng said that, but I think we should respect tradition..."
Taotie interrupted Li Qi again, "What tradition? It's because they know barbecue. Therefore, we eat barbecue every time. I invited you here because I was tired of barbecue. As a result, you have to make barbecue again. In addition, just talking about this barbecue technique, you have similar skills to Pengpeng and others, which cannot show your advantages. When you were at Niu Tuofeng, you were very clever, but why did you become stupid when you came here? Is it because you are with them every day?"
Taotie, who is not very fond of talking, once she talks about eating, she is really talkative and petty.
Pengpeng and the others were innocently lying for several shots, and they felt so depressed!
Are we stupid?
"Mr. Zijin, can you listen to me first?" Li Qi said with a wry smile.
Taotie said, "You said."
Li Qi smiled and said, "First of all, Mr. Zijin said eating barbecue is not a tradition, but I think the King of Earth likes to hold a century-long banquet on the lawn in front of the King's Hall, which should always be considered a tradition."
Taotie nodded slightly.
Li Qi said: "In the open air, guests gather around a bonfire. In this atmosphere, if you don't eat barbecue, you will probably feel out of place. As a cook, you must not focus on yourself, but on the environment, atmosphere, and the mood of the guests. You cannot say that you can do whatever you want, and you don't consider those factors at all. Especially for this kind of banquet, you should consider everything, because this kind of banquet is not just about eating, but also many factors."
"It's reasonable! It's reasonable!"
Taotie nodded repeatedly, pointed at Pengpeng and the others and said, "Did you hear that? This is the difference between you and Li Qi. In the future, you have to consider my mood when cooking."
The second brothers squeezed their little eyes again and looked at Zijin Gong with grievance.
Li Qi said again: "Secondly, I think Zijin Gong, you still underestimated my cooking skills. In front of Pengpeng and others, I have never won by skills. To be honest, their basic skills may be stronger than mine, and I have always won by creativity. This is why I have never taken any action since I came here. They are all doing it. I am just responsible for teaching them to do it."
After getting along these days, Pengpeng and the others are convinced of Li Qi's cooking skills.
"That's right." Taotie nodded slightly, then frowned and said, "But I don't feel what your barbecue is creative?"
Li Qi smiled slightly and said, "What Zijin Gong saw is just the tip of the iceberg, just like me here. I saw it is just the royal city, no, it is just the tip of the iceberg of the Zijin Cave Palace. In fact, the creativity of this dish was given to me by the royal city. I want to make a very, very large dish. The dishes I prepared before have long been denied by me because I think if I only make a dish that can be filled with one plate, it would be a humiliating the royal city. After all, the royal city is so magnificent, grand and solemn."
"A very, very big dish?" Taotie took a breath, his eyes flashed, and he felt very, very powerful, but when he saw the roast duck in front of him, he was immediately confused and said, "Can you explain it clearly?"
"cannot."
Li Qi's answer was very straightforward.
Taotie's face froze, and then he looked at Li Qi with a deep eyebrows, as if saying, "You still dare to be arrogant here?"
Li Qi smiled and said, "Because as a culinary, I always hope to unveil the mysterious veil in the most suitable occasion, the most suitable atmosphere, and the best moment. The dish I thought of this time must be integrated into the grand occasion of the Feast of the Century to be called perfect."
"good!"
Taotie seemed excited when he heard this, and slapped the table and said, "I want to see what dishes can be compared with my royal city."
Li Qi just smiled slightly, but with a strong sense of confidence, saying, "Why don't you know if Zijin Gong eats this roast duck?"
"Eat. Of course."
Taotie pulled off a duck leg and threw it into his broad mouth. His face was happy and said, "Your roast duck is really different. The meat is tender, mellow, fat but not greasy. It is more delicious than the previous roast beef and roast pig."
Li Qi smiled and said, "Because this is a characteristic stove, the taste is a bit different. The roast beef and roast pigs I used to be because I was not familiar with the meat at that time, so the taste may be a bit insufficient, but it will definitely be perfected later, but they are always the tip of the iceberg of my dish."...
