Although today's Zuixianju does need a business partner, Li Qi still has to think carefully about cooperating with an old fox like Cai Minde. However, it is undeniable that the cooperation plan proposed by Cai Minde is indeed attractive.
A place for people.(:, the fastest update when reading novels)
After saying goodbye to Cai Minde, Li Qi had been thinking about this issue, but still did not dare to make a decision. He thought that he should wait until after the crab roe feast.
When the sun sets over the western mountains.
Suddenly a group of people came to Zuixianju. The middle-aged man at the head was the high-ranking official who made a generous move last time. Behind him were still followed by four stern-faced men with swords and an entourage. There was also an appearance.
A thin middle-aged man.
"Lonely and cold, I am a widow with an empty window, melancholy and worried, afraid of remembering my love."
As soon as the official entered the store, his first reaction was to look up at the three couplets. After staring at them for a long time, he laughed and said: "Very good. Very good. I heard that Defu married a talented woman with both talent and beauty.
It is indeed well-deserved." Then he turned to the female bartender who received him and asked: "Where is the wooden board that was originally hung behind this couplet now?"
"Sir, that's it."
The female bartender pointed to the wooden board hanging behind the counter and said.
“Boiling water—pogon leaves?”
The senior official came closer and took a look. His brows were furrowed with a look of dissatisfaction on his face. He shook his head, then turned to the man next to him and asked, "Bo Qing, do you know what kind of dish this is?"
The man shook his head and said, "This is also the first time I've seen it."
The official shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter if the name of the dish is ordinary, it's just this word, alas."
Since the sun had not yet set, there were not many guests, and the private rooms upstairs were all empty. A few people were led by the female bartender to the heavenly and earthly private rooms.
The senior official told the female bartender: "Go and call your chef up first."
This female bartender was the one who received this high-ranking official last time, so she nodded without asking any more questions and turned around and went downstairs.
Li Qi, who was in the kitchen, felt happy when he heard that the official had arrived again. He quickly finished the work in hand, and then went up with the female bartender.
Entering the private room, Li Qi said hello to the senior official. He glanced at the man next to the senior official from the corner of his eye and suddenly found that the man looked very familiar. He opened his eyes and pointed at the man and said: "Eh? You?"
---Aren't you the one who had dinner with friends at Xiangguo Temple last time?"
When the middle-aged man saw Li Qi, he also had a look of surprise on his face. He was slightly startled, then he cupped his hands and said, "I'm Zuo Boqing."
"Oh oh oh, it turns out to be Brother Zuo, my name is Li Qi." Li Qi cupped his hands and said.
"What? Do you know each other?" the senior official said in surprise.
Zuo Boqing hurriedly lowered his head and whispered something in the high official's ear.
After hearing this, the senior official laughed and said, "I see." Then he said to Li Qi, "Sit down." Then he said to Zuo Boqing, "Boqing, you can sit down too."
"yes."
Zuo Boqing was flattered and said.
Sweat! I just gave you a chair to sit on. Do you need to act so exaggeratedly? It seems like a big gift. Besides, I didn't even say "please". It's so lacking in quality.
Li Qi pouted and sat down majestically.
The senior official laughed and said, "Li Qi, do you remember what I said before I left last time?" He seemed very happy today.
Li Qi was stunned, shook his head and said, "I don't remember." He thought to himself, I'm so busy every day, how can I still remember what you said before leaving?
Facing such a direct answer from Li Qi, the official was stunned, but he didn't take it seriously at all. On the contrary, the attendant behind him glared at Li Qi, but was completely ignored by Li Qi.
The official laughed and said: "Since you don't remember, let me remind you." After a pause, he continued: "I said that it won't take a month for you to know these three pairs.
They were all confronted."
"Oh, so that's what you wanted to say, I remember, but now you've only been challenged with one couplet, and there are still two more." At this point, Li Qi said with a proud smile on his lips, and he's still my idol.
Right.
Seeing the proud look on Li Qi's face, the senior official raised his eyebrows and asked, "When you say that, you don't seem to believe what I say?"
"Where. Where."
Li Qi laughed a few times, then changed the topic and said: "But it's useless to just talk about it, you have to prove it with actions."
The senior official smiled and shook his head, saying: "It's not difficult to find out the remaining two pairs, but - I have to taste the 'Boiled Songye' first to see if it's the right one."
It’s as magical as you said.”
A big customer is a big customer, no matter the price. I like it.
Li Qi chuckled and said, "That's okay. I promise I won't let you down."
The senior official suddenly shook his head and said, "But you have already disappointed me."
"ah?"
Li Qi was stunned and said: "How do you say this?"
"Let me ask you, since you used three pairs of absolutes to highlight the three dishes, why did you randomly find a bartender who can't write to write the names of the dishes? Look at what is written on that wooden board.
If I didn't look carefully, I really wouldn't be able to recognize those four characters. It's really ugly." The official said very displeasedly. He seemed to be very concerned about the characters on the wooden board.
A bartender who can’t write?
Sweat! It turns out that my handwriting has deteriorated to this point.
Li Qi looked embarrassed and said with great embarrassment: "To be fair to the officials, in fact - that word is exactly what I wrote."
"What? Did you write it?" the official asked in surprise.
Li Qiqian laughed a few times and nodded.
The official pointed to the hanging beam and said, "So, the words on those three pieces of cloth were not written by you?"
"Yes. That was written by our wife."
After hearing this, the senior official looked at each other with Zuo Boqing, laughed dumbly, and said to Li Qi: "Thank you for having the courage to hang that board in front of the door. Why don't you ask Mrs. Qin to write it for you?
Already."
Dizzy! Is this person here to eat, or is he here to discuss calligraphy with me?
Li Qi smiled sheepishly and said, "Well--ahem, it seems that my wife happened to be away on a trip that day, and I was the only one left in the store who could write."
How could the senior official believe such a lame explanation, but he did not continue to ask, nodded and said with a smile: "I hope this dish will not be as bad as that word."
Li Qi immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry about this, I promise it won't happen."
"Okay then. Go ahead and prepare. By the way, prepare an extra portion, I will take it away later."
"Okay, I get it now."
Back in the kitchen, Li Qi straightened his back and said to his three disciples: "You guys stop first and help me prepare the boiling water."
"Wow! Brother Li, did the rich man order this dish?" Wu Xiaoliu said in surprise.
"good."
Li Qi nodded and said to Brother Zhuzi: "Dazhu, go and prepare an old hen and a duck for me. Xiaozhu, go and get some fresh Song vegetables." Then he said to Wu Xiaozhu. Liu Dao: "Liu Zi, help me prepare the scallops and pork knuckles."
The three of them responded and started preparing immediately, with a look of excitement on their faces. They had wanted to see this dish for a long time.
