Chapter 161: The Grateful Li Qi(1/2)
Hong Bin Building.
backyard.
Hu Fei was sitting at the table, tasting a steak prepared by the chef according to the recipe he gave him, chewing it and nodding with satisfaction.
Although the conditions of this era are limited, it is impossible to make the same taste as in the previous life, but perhaps because of this, the steak in front of you tastes like a different flavor.
Moreover, the cows nowadays will never eat feed, they are all green food. In addition, in order to ensure the taste, he specially instructed the kitchen to use underage calves as ingredients, which makes the steak more tender and juicy.
Chundie and Pei Jie, who were standing aside, looked at Hu Fei's relish and couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Smelling the fragrance wafting throughout the room, they were already salivating.
"Want to try it?"
Hu Fei looked at the slightly greedy eyes of the two and asked with a smile.
After hearing Hu Fei's words, the two of them nodded hurriedly, with a hint of joy on their faces.
"take it."
Hu Fei stretched out his hand and pushed forward the half-left steak and knife and fork, and said with a smile.
Chundie and Pei Jie didn't refuse at all, and each hurriedly cut a piece for themselves and put it in their mouths.
"Yeah! Delicious!"
As soon as Pei Jie took a bite, he couldn't help but open his eyes and praise.
Chun Die on the side also nodded frequently in agreement, his face full of excitement.
"Look at how you look like you have never seen the world."
Hu Fei shook his head and said with a wry smile.
However, the two of them no longer bothered to talk to each other and gathered around the steak, eager to get started.
In fact, it's no wonder that Chundie and Pei Jie are so excited, because every time Hu Fei introduces a new recipe, the chef can always make some delicacies that they have never tasted before.
In today's world of delicious food, it is difficult for anyone to resist the temptation. This is why Hong Bin Restaurant is so popular and has a lot of money.
At this moment, footsteps were heard, and a waiter walked quickly from the front hall.
"Master, there is a visitor looking for you in the front hall."
The visitor walked to the door, bowed respectfully, and spoke slowly.
"who?"
Hu Fei hesitated for a moment and asked calmly.
"The person who came called himself Li Qi and said he had something important to discuss with the young master."
The visitor replied respectfully.
"Please!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Fei immediately showed a smile and said hurriedly.
The visitor agreed and immediately walked quickly to the front hall.
Soon, the consort Li Qi followed the waiter to the backyard and walked straight to the main hall.
Hu Fei looked at Li Qi who was suddenly visiting from a distance, a meaningful smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and then turned to look at Chundie and Pei Jie, who were fighting over steaks.
"Go out to eat! We have guests, don't embarrass me!"
Hu Fei rolled his eyes at Chundie and Pei Jie and said pretending to be dissatisfied.
After listening to Hu Fei's words, Pei Jie and Chundie each stretched out one hand to grab the plate and walked out together, as if they were afraid that the other would eat all the remaining steaks.
Li Qi, who walked to the door, looked at the two people who were behaving strangely and couldn't help but show a trace of doubt. Then he noticed that there was only a small piece of steak left on the plate, and a trace of curiosity flashed on his face.
"I don't know if my cousin's sudden visit is too far away."
Hu Fei cupped his hands, stood up slowly, took two steps forward, and said with a smile.
"You're welcome, dear brother."
Li Qi cupped his hands, withdrew his gaze, walked into the main hall, and then smelled a scent in the air that he had never smelled before.
"Cousin, please sit down."
"Chundie, watch the tea!"
Hu Fei invited Li Qi to sit down and shouted outside.
"Brother Xian, what kind of fresh food have you invented again? It smells so good!"
Li Qi asked curiously while sitting on the chair.
"steak."
Hu Fei said with a smile.
"steak?"
When Li Qi heard this, he was puzzled for a moment, and the look on his face became more curious.
"That's right, I'll ask the chef to make one for my cousin later so he can have a taste."
Hu Fei smiled and said.
"So good!"
Li Qi smiled and nodded, showing a hint of expectation.
"My cousin came here suddenly. Is there something wrong?"
Hu Fei looked at the smiling Li Qi and asked lightly.
Hearing Hu Fei's words, Li Qi nodded and became serious.
"To be honest, my dear brother, I have gone to the palace today to present the disaster relief strategy to your Majesty. Your Majesty praised it greatly after hearing it, and has received your approval."
"Thanks to my dear brother for all this, I have to express my heartfelt thanks to my dear brother for the people affected by the disaster in the future."
Li Qi looked at Hu Fei, cupped his hands, and said seriously, his eyes full of gratitude.
"It's just a little effort. My cousin is so polite. It's an honor for me to share your worries with your Majesty and my cousin."
Hu Fei smiled and said nonchalantly.
"However, dear brother, please don't mind. In order to prevent your majesty from thinking that the Li family suddenly got too close, I did not explain to your majesty that this strategy was what you had in mind."
Li Qi looked at Hu Fei and said slightly apologetically.
"It doesn't matter, I told my cousin that not to claim credit, I just wanted to do something for the people of the Ming Dynasty."
Hu Fei waved his hand and said seriously.
"My cousin is impressed by his heart as a good brother."
After listening to Hu Fei's words, Li Qi said seriously.
Hu Fei smiled, looking nonchalant.
Soon, Chundie had brought in the brewed tea, and Hu Fei ordered Chundie to have the chef cook a steak for Li Qi.
After eating the steak, Li Qi's performance was even more exaggerated than Pei Jie and Chun Die. He was full of praise and still had more to say.
Hu Fei told Li Qi that whenever he wanted to eat in the future, he could come to Hong Bin Tower at any time, whether he was there or not.
Li Qi was naturally very grateful, so an idea came to his mind.
"Brother, you are not young anymore. Have you ever thought about starting a family?"
Li Qi hesitated, then suddenly looked at Hu Fei and asked.
After listening to Li Qi's words, Hu Fei couldn't help but shrink his neck and his scalp became numb. He didn't expect Li Qi to be such a gossip. He had already racked his brains to deal with Hu Weiyong's forced marriage. He didn't expect that Li Qi also liked to worry about these things.
"What? My cousin is worried about my lifelong affairs?"
Hu Fei smiled and asked lightly.
"Starting a family and starting a business is a major event in life. Now that my good brother has become famous all over the world and his business has spread all over the country, it is time to consider life-long events."
Li Qi smiled, looked at Hu Fei seriously and said.
"My old man has also urged me, but I feel that now is not the time. I am still young and used to being comfortable. I don't want to be restricted. I will talk about it later."
Hu Fei shook his head and said with a smile.
After listening to Hu Fei's words, Li Qi nodded a little disappointedly. He could see that Hu Fei had no interest in starting a family at all.
"Okay, if my dear brother falls in love with any girl in the future, you must tell me and I will help you find a match."
Li Qi nodded and said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll be the first to tell my cousin when the time comes."
Hu Fei smiled and agreed.
The consort can naturally get twice the result with half the effort if he protects the matchmaker. But now his thoughts are all about how to save his life. Even if he has that thought, he doesn't have the time. Only after the beginning of next year can everything be finalized.
Besides, if he marries someone back home at this time, Hu Weiyong's life will be in jeopardy, and he will definitely be implicated. He can't take someone else to flee, right?
