Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Duke Ying only has such a daughter.
That is the Empress Wu Zetian who will be famous in history in the future!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Qiu, who was full of curiosity, naturally wanted to take a good look at her.
Soon, Shooting Sirius and the previous two dishes, Mapo Tofu and Spicy Chicken, were served.
After taking a sip of Shooting Sirius, Duke Ying shouted, "Good wine!"
And after tasting the mapo tofu and spicy chicken, I was full of praise after enjoying the spicy and delicious stimulation.
"Li Qiu, the dish that shoots Sirius and you is really as Wang Gui said, it is shocking and extraordinary!"
"Wu Jue, come and taste these two dishes."
"Father traveled all over the world for most of his life, and claimed to have eaten a lot of famous dishes."
"But these two methods can definitely be called the best in the world!"
At first, because of Li Qiu's presence, Wu Jue didn't move his chopsticks.
Seeing her father over there praising these two dishes that smell really delicious, she was also full of curiosity in her heart.
In fact, the father and daughter came here today, and the samurai Xun said that he had heard Wang Gui's introduction, came here because of curiosity and admiration.
But in reality, it was Wu Jue who acted like a baby and begged her father to bring her over.
In the hearts of the children in Chang'an City today, brother Li Qiu is definitely an idol.
As for Wu Jue, he also heard too many times about Li Qiu's small shop from his girlfriends, playmates, and even servants in the mansion.
So I thought about coming over to have a look.
Li Qiu had a vague feeling before that there was nothing wrong with him. He sneaked a peek at Wu Jue's details, and Wu Jue caught every detail in his eyes.
Because when Li Qiu was observing Wu Jue secretly, Wu Jue was also watching Li Qiu secretly and curiously.
Want to see what this elder brother Li Qiu, who has made all the girls in the city secretly promise him for life, looks like?
The samurai Xun has always loved his clever and likable daughter, and couldn't bear her daughter's coquettishness and pleading, so he simply brought her here.
At this time, Wu Jue listened to what her father said, and she gracefully picked up a piece of mapo tofu and put it in her mouth.
But the next moment, unprepared, she felt the hot tofu rushing into her mind with a spicy smell, and then coughed.
Choking tears are about to come out, and I am in a panic.
Seeing this, the warrior Xun hurriedly stepped forward to show concern for his daughter, and Li Qiu also withdrew in a timely manner.
So as not to embarrass the girls.
About a quarter of an hour later, Li Qiu came back with two dishes.
At this time, Wu Jue has also recovered his previous tranquility and dignity.
It's just that after seeing Li Qiu again, she couldn't help but blush with embarrassment.
"These two dishes before may have been too spicy, and the lady couldn't eat them."
"So, I temporarily changed the menu."
"These two newly changed dishes are both sweet, and I think they should suit Miss's taste."
With that said, Li Qiu placed the tomatoes, eggs and persimmons mixed with sugar on the dining table.
In the Tang Dynasty, there was no such thing as a tomato.
So looking at these two dishes, both Samurai Xun and Wu Jue were curious.
"That Li Qiu, what are the names of these two dishes?"
"I'm afraid that even I have never seen it before."
Li Qiu smiled, pointed at the persimmons mixed with sugar and introduced, "Master, this dish is called Volcano Feixue."
"Cool, sweet, pleasant and delicious."
"And the other dish is called Qiuyue Hongchen."
“Sweet and sour, delicious and juicy.”
Listening to Li Qiu's introduction, the warrior Xun nodded, "Volcano snow, autumn moon red dust."
"Good name, I'll try it first."
As he spoke, the samurai Xun picked up his chopsticks and tasted the two dishes, then shook his head slightly in amazement again.
"Good food! It's delicious!"
"Li Qiu, what kind of ingredients did you use for this dish? Don't say you've eaten it, I've never even heard of it?!"
Li Qiu smiled, but did not answer directly, but looked at Wu Jue.
"Miss Wu Jue, please try these two dishes too."
"Then I will give a detailed answer to the Duke and Miss."
After listening to Li Qiu's persuasion, Wu Jue nodded, picked up a small mouthful of vegetables, and carefully put it into his mouth.
After the painful lesson of the last time, she absolutely does not want to have a second time.
However, to her great surprise, the two dishes presented by Li Qiu were not as hot and spicy as before.
On the contrary, it is cool and icy, sweet and sour.
For a moment, almost instinctively, her face also showed that kind of fondness and sweet happiness.
"Father, these two dishes are really delicious, I like them."
Seeing his daughter like this, the samurai Xun also laughed, "Just like it, just eat it if you like it!"
"Li Qiu, can you introduce these two dishes to us now?"
"And why didn't I seem to have heard of Wang Gui before?"
The samurai Xun is a close person of the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan.
Wang Gui is the absolute confidant of Prince Yin, and the two of them are also best friends, and they are quite familiar with each other.
At this time, Li Qiu smiled, "My lord, you and Miss are the first guests to taste these two dishes."
"Even Lord Wang Gui has never eaten it."
"It was also today that I saw that Miss Wu Jue doesn't like spicy food, so I made it impromptu."
Li Qiu's temperament is gentle and elegant, reserved and polite.
This kind of careful and special care made Wu Jue feel very happy and comfortable in his heart.
The samurai Xun also nodded in satisfaction at this time, "Li Qiu, you have a heart."
"I really like this dish of volcanic snow."
"Coupled with the intensity of shooting Sirius, it is simply refreshing, a perfect match."
"Probably nearly ten years ago, I went to Taibai Mountain in the north to buy timber."
"There, the climate is cool and icy, and the mountains are covered with snow all the year round."
"So the name of your dish is really wonderful."
"But this Qiuyue Hongchen, I don't know how to explain it?"
Chapter 23 Brother Li Qiu, I Like This Very Much
Seeing the warrior Xun asking about the name of this dish, Li Qiu didn't answer directly, but recited a poem instead.
"The clear stream flows over Bishantou, the empty water is clear and the color is autumn."
"Thirty miles away from the world of mortals, white clouds and red leaves are two miles away."
After listening to this poem, the eyes of Samurai Xun and Wu Jue lit up at the same time.
"Empty water, clear water, one color of autumn... white clouds and red leaves are long."
"What a poem!"
"No wonder Wang Gui praised you to the sky and said that you are full of talents. Looking at it now, you are really good."
"Back then you could hold the eagle bow like a full moon, look northwest, and shoot Sirius' poem, and you named the wine after the poem, isn't that how you came about?"
Afterwards, after a few more polite words, Li Qiu respectfully withdrew, without disturbing their father and daughter to continue eating.
Before leaving, the warrior Xun from the wealthy side was also extremely generous, and rewarded him with some extra silver.
"Li Qiu, although I tasted two of your new dishes today."
"But do I still have two dishes that I haven't tasted?"
Li Qiu nodded in agreement, and the warrior Xun said again, "I have to say, I really like your dishes, taste, and mood of eating."
"That's it, leave me another table tomorrow, and I'll try the other two dishes."
The next day, the warrior Xun came again with his daughter.
Today Li Qiu specially instructed that the dishes are not as spicy as last time, and it should be acceptable to serve Wu Huo with rice.
In addition, Li Qiu also specially prepared a fat beef tomato soup for Wu Jue.
After eating the thin beef with sweet and sour soup, Wu Sui's big eyes almost narrowed because of its deliciousness.
She really couldn't understand how there could be such delicious and delicious dishes in the world.
On the other side, after tasting the dish, the warrior Xun nodded again and again, thanking Li Qiu for his trouble.
In the Tang Dynasty, cattle, as the main production labor force, were absolutely not allowed to be slaughtered or eaten.
Of course, no matter what era, the privileged class will always exist.
As long as you have money, you can also buy it.
Therefore, the samurai Xun didn't say much, and he got it if he understood it in his heart.
Before leaving, the samurai gave some extra money as a token of gratitude just like yesterday.
And Li Qiu, smiling and doing magic, took out a very small, round and beautiful tomato.
Handed it to Wu Jue.
"It's also the first time Miss Wu Jue and Duke Guo have come to the shop."
"Due to rush yesterday, I couldn't prepare any presents."
"Today, this holy maiden fruit should be given to Miss Wu Jue as a present."
"This kind of fruit is also very delicious after being washed and eaten raw."
Girls always lack resistance to beautiful and novel things.
After seeing the ruddy, crystal-clear tomatoes that he had never seen before, Wu Jue took the tomatoes in amazement.
Extremely cautious.
"It's called cherry tomatoes?"
"Could it be that the dishes I ate were all made of it?"
Seeing Li Qiu nodding with a smile, Wu Jue was even more incredulous and looked at the heavy, small, rosy fruit in his hand, feeling even more precious about it.
Contrary to Li Qiu's expectation, when he was sending the samurai Xun's father and daughter out, they were about to leave.
Wu Jue actually showed her smart and playful side, and made a blessing to Li Qiu, "Farewell, Brother Li Qiu."
"Thank you for the cherry tomatoes, I like it very much."
Brother Li Qiu, this is a very frequently used name among the children in Chang'an City.
Now that Wu Jue called out like everyone else, it seemed really interesting.
Seeing Duke Ying's warrior Xun, his father and daughter's carriage leaving, Li Qiucai turned and went back to the shop.
This feeling is actually quite interesting.
However, the impression Wu Jue gave him was completely different from what he learned from the history books.
But this is also understandable.
