The first thousand one hundred and ninety-nine chapters go all out (seeking a monthly ticket)
All family property.
What concept is this?
Although Huang Ze believed that there was no shortage of kind-hearted people in the world, he did not believe that it would be too kind for someone to donate all their wealth when they still had a large family to support.
Obviously this matter is not that simple.
Moreover, this matter also involves the Bai family, a very sensitive family. Of course, Huang Ze dare not agree to it. This matter is beyond the scope of his thinking. He must go back and tell Brother Qiu about this matter, and it will be up to Brother Qiu to decide.
.
The next day.
"ah---!"
Although Li Qi arrived at Zuixianju early, he looked sleepy and yawned profusely.
Wu Furong saw him and asked with concern: "Li Qi, I look at you like you didn't sleep all night long?"
Li Qi rubbed his face and said: "Uncle Wu, you are really good at predicting things, you can see it all!"
If I can't see this, then I will become blind. Wu Furong said: "Then what were you doing last night?"
"Isn't it just preparing dishes for August 15th?"
"That's right!" Wu Furong nodded and said, "Then don't come here. Go back and rest early."
Li Qi waved his hand and said, "I'll pay attention to this. I'm here because there are some important things to arrange. Let's go to the backyard to talk later. I'll go get something to eat first."
Li Qi was about to go to the kitchen to make morning preparations. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the counter, a servant came down from upstairs. Li Qi knew this man, and he was Gao Qiu's housekeeper. This man came to Li Qi and said respectfully: "Privy Councilor, my master, please
You go up and talk."
Li Qi knew in his heart that Gao Qiu must be here for the Bai family's affairs, so he nodded and said, "Let's go."
When I came upstairs, I saw Cai Jing and Gao Qiu sitting inside.
Li Qi bowed his hands to the two of them and sat across from them.
Gao Qiu couldn't wait to ask: "Li Qi, I heard from Kang'er yesterday that the Bai family is planning to donate all their wealth to the Qingtian Charity Foundation?"
Cai Jing also looked at Li Qi curiously.
Li Qi nodded.
Gao Qiu asked puzzledly: "Why is this?"
Li Qi sighed and told Gao Qiu and Cai Jing about Liu Yunxi's treatment for Bai Shizhong, including the huge medical expenses.
Facing these two people, there is no need to hide this kind of thing, because they have used too many whitewashing methods.
"I see." Gao Qiu frowned slightly, seeming a little confused, and said, "I have heard of this weird Shi Niang, but she is just a commoner. Why are you, the Privy Councilor, afraid of her?"
Li Qi smiled slightly and said: "This is just an ordinary transaction. She didn't force me. Both parties are voluntary. It doesn't matter whether they are afraid or not."
Gao Qiu and Cai Jing looked at each other in confusion. It is undeniable that what Li Qi said is very reasonable. But this world relies on strength to speak, and rules only restrain the people of the lower class. If it were the two of them, they would have a
Hundreds of methods were used to force Liu Yunxi to submit. If there is a right way, if others do not serve themselves, they will be destroyed by heaven and earth.
Of course, they are not familiar with Liu Yunxi yet. If Li Qi chooses to be like them, it may be too late to regret it. After all, it is impossible to resurrect a person after death. It is impossible to anger a doctor with good medical skills before he is sure.
Not a wise choice.
However, since Li Qi had said so, Cai and Gao naturally couldn't say anything. Gao Qiu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back and tell Huang Ze later and let him take over the Bai family's wealth."
"Thank you! But---."
"Don't worry. I still know what can and cannot be said."
"Yes Yes Yes."
Li Qi nodded repeatedly. He was still very relieved about Brother Qiu. He then turned to Cai Jing and said, "Grand Master, I believe the Grand Lieutenant has told you about the orphanage. What do you think?"
Cai Jing laughed and said: "If someone is willing to share some of the burden for me, how can I refuse? Moreover, I very much agree with your idea of an orphanage."
Gao Qiu said: "Then how do you plan to arrange the people of the Bai family?"
Logically speaking, the Bai family now relies entirely on Li Qi. If nothing unexpected happens, the Bai family will naturally go to Li Qi, so this question seems a bit redundant.
In fact, Gao Qiu asked this because he felt that Li Qi should not let the Bai family live with him, because it was an accident that the Bai family stayed in Tokyo. They are a very sensitive group of people at the political level. Keep it appropriate.
The distance is still necessary.
Li Qi sighed: "We don't know yet."
Cai Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, I have a small house near Guanyin Yuan. If you don't mind it, let Bai Shizhong and the others live there."
Li Qi hurriedly said: "Why is this so embarrassing---."
Cai Jing raised his hand to interrupt Li Qi's words and said, "This is not given to you for free. It is treated as a reward for you as the vice-dean. Oh, it must be counted for at least thirty years."
Because he didn't want Li Qi to live with Bai Shizhong, he was willing to use his own house. Anyway, he had many houses in Tokyo.
Li Qike had never thought about the remuneration from the deputy dean, but Cai Jing used it as an excuse. He felt that it was quite good, so he handed over his hand and said: "Thank you for your kindness, then---then Li Qike will be disrespectful."
Already."
Cai Jing laughed and said: "Why are you so polite to me?" After a pause, he suddenly said: "By the way, I heard a few days ago that you---you handed over the finances of the Ordnance Supervision Department?"
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Cai Jing looked at Gao Qiu again. Gao Qiu pondered for a moment and said, "This--this matter--do you know who is behind the scenes?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "I understand this in my heart."
"As long as you understand, that's fine."
Cai Jing breathed a sigh of relief and stopped talking, because now it was really inconvenient for him to discuss the struggle between the DPRK and China in depth. He just brought it up because he was afraid that Li Qi had not seen through the essence of the whole matter and wanted to enlighten him.
After a few words, since Li Qi claimed that he understood, he thought that Li Qi would definitely have a countermeasure. Then he changed the subject and said: "Oh, the recent cooking competition between you and Mrs. Zhang of Jinlou has become a big deal.
.”
Li Qi chuckled: "This is what Madam Zhang and I have agreed on a long time ago. To talk about this matter, I have a close relationship with the Grand Master!"
Cai Jing snorted and said, "What does it have to do with me?"
Li Qidao: "When Madam Zhang lost to me at the Crab Roe Banquet, she was very dissatisfied. She thought it was because my nutrition was at an advantage, not because my dishes were better than hers, so she always wanted to compete with me.
Let’s try it again.”
"So this is ah!"
Cai Jing nodded and said: "But speaking of it, it is indeed true."
Li Qi opened his mouth wide and said, "Isn't it?"
Cai Jingdao: "I still have fresh memories of that competition. In fact, in terms of dishes, Mrs. Zhang's Sons and Thousands of Sons and your crab roe tofu can be said to be equally matched. It's just your eloquence and your nutrition.
It adds a lot of luster to that stewed tofu dish.”
Gao Qiu chuckled: "What the Grand Master said is absolutely true, Li Qi, although you are the King of Golden Knife Chefs, Madam Zhang is also my number one cook in the Song Dynasty, so you have to be careful!"
Cai Jing laughed and said: "Since this matter happened because of me, I should also be responsible. How about I be the judge of your competition again?"
I bet you, a foodie, want to come here to eat! Li Qi said with a smile: "You don't need to tell me about this, Grand Master, I will definitely disturb him. I am the number one gourmet in the Song Dynasty, and he is none other than Grand Master. If Grand Master
Without it, this competition will definitely lose its luster."
Cai Jing smiled slightly. He did have a lot of money when it came to food. He asked curiously: "I wonder what dishes you have prepared this time?"
"This---I'm really sorry, I have to keep it a secret for the time being." Li Qi smiled apologetically and said, "But then I will show you a rare treasure."
"Rare treasure?"
Gao Qiu's eyes lit up unconsciously, and he asked curiously: "What kind of rare treasure?"
Li Qi smiled and said very humbly: "This---it must be kept secret."
Gao Qiu was stunned, rolled his eyes and said, "Then why did you say it? Aren't you trying to interest us?"
Brother Qiu is Brother Qiu. I hit the mark right away, and I am just trying to whet your appetite. Li Qi secretly chuckled twice, but said: "Sorry, sorry. But one thing is for sure."
"What's the matter?"
The two said in unison.
Li Qi looked amused and said: "Since this competition is scheduled for August 15th, mooncakes are naturally indispensable. At that time, our Zuixianju will hold a mooncake appreciation banquet at Xiangguo Temple. There will be about thirty kinds of mooncakes.
On the left and right, they are all mooncakes with the latest flavors, which can even be said to be unprecedented, and there is absolutely no need for any food differences."
"Thirty kinds?"
The two of them drooled at the sound. Originally, the competition between Li Qi and Zhang Chun'er was enough to attract attention, but with the addition of rare treasures and thirty new flavors of mooncakes, it was really attractive.
, I am very much looking forward to that day coming.
After sending Cai Jing and Gao Qi away, Li Qi called Wu Furong and Xiaoyu to the backyard.
Li Qidao: "There are not many days left before August 15th. I must go all out. Starting tomorrow, I will start to retreat. I will leave all the big and small matters in Zuixianju to you."
"
Wu Furong said hurriedly: "Don't worry about that."
Li Qi hummed, and then said: "Also, you also know that we, Zuixianju, are now heavily in debt and must find ways to make money to pay off our debts. August 15th is an opportunity for us. The Mid-Autumn Festival is held on August 15th.
The implication is that the family is reunited, but from the perspective of our businessmen, that is, customers who usually only go to the restaurant to eat alone will bring their families on this day, so the number of guests will be several times that of usual.
So you have to be prepared for this. It’s best to get me a few tables in the backyard. It’s okay to squeeze in a little. The key is to make money. I also specially developed a set of reunion banquets for this purpose, specially used on August 15th.
Now that Tokyo's economy has not recovered yet, we must make our guests feel that their money is worth their money, so I also decided to send an additional box of mooncakes to all guests who book a reunion banquet on that day."
Wu Furong was surprised and said: "Moon cakes are also given as gifts?"
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "Uncle Wu, you don't understand the principle that wool comes from a sheep's body."
Wu Furong smiled sheepishly, this is really unscrupulous.
