Chapter 121 The thoughts of the two women (seeking a monthly ticket)
If Li Qi had known in advance that Wang Zhongling would recruit him to the Ministry of Industry, he would not have revealed a single number, let alone trigonometric functions, even Arabic numerals.
Li Qi was deeply afraid that Wang Zhongling would change his mind, so after Wang Zhongling let go, he immediately left the backyard and hid in the kitchen.
In fact, Li Qi didn't have much work to do at noon today, but he didn't dare to come out. He waited until Bai Shizhong and Wang Zhongling left before he came to the backyard to take a breath.
Li Qi came to the lounge and saw Mrs. Qin sitting on a chair, looking worried. He glanced at her curiously and asked: "Madam, Uncle Bai and Uncle Wang have left?"
Mrs. Qin glanced at him quickly and said, "This is called asking questions knowingly."
Li Qi chuckled and said, "Madam still understands me."
Mrs. Qin shook her head with a wry smile, remained silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Li Qi."
Li Qi responded: "Yes. What's wrong, madam?"
Mrs. Qin opened her mouth, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Actually, what dad said is right. With your ability, staying in Zuixianju is indeed a bit unfair to you."
"That makes sense."
Li Qi nodded and said with a smile: "Does Madam want to give me processing money?"
Mrs. Qin rolled her eyes at him and said, "You also have half of this Zuixianju. If you want to process the money, do you still need to ask me?"
"That's true. Oh my, I stayed in the kitchen for too long and forgot that I am also the proprietor of Zuixianju. It seems that I got too involved in the drama."
Li Qi smiled and suddenly said seriously: "Madam, did Uncle Wang say anything to you after I left?"
Mrs. Qin shook her head and said: "No. It's just that I think this is a good opportunity for you. If you want to go, I won't blame you. Besides, you can't stay in Zuixianju for the rest of your life.
Be the cook."
Although she stepped forward to take over Zuixianju's business, she still doesn't have the mentality of a businessman. Everything is not based on interests, but more on considering others. There is a huge gap between being an official and being a cook. There is simply no difference between heaven and earth.
To measure the difference, although she also knew that Zuixianju could not do without Li Qi now, she did not want to delay Li Qi's future for her own selfish desires. If it were Cai Minde, let alone Li Qi's unwillingness to become an official.
Even if Li Qi is willing, he will definitely obstruct it in every possible way.
"Li Qixin accepts Madam's kindness."
Li Qi smiled slightly and said: "But I really don't want to enter the official career. You may say that I have no ambitions, that I am stupid or naive, but I really just want to be a chef. Of course, I can't do it either."
Throughout my life, I plan to be forty years old and then travel around the world with my little donkey."
Mrs. Qin said in surprise: "Why is this? To be able to serve as an official in the court and serve the Holy Emperor. This is the lifelong wish of most people."
Li Qiyou glanced at Mrs. Qin resentfully and said with a wry smile: "Madam, do you really want me to leave?"
"Of course I---sigh. If you can stay, it won't be better, but---."
Mrs. Qin was only halfway through her words when she was interrupted by Li Qi, "Nothing but, since Madam doesn't want me to leave, that's fine. In fact, my personality is not suitable for official life, Madam. You
Have you ever heard that 'Once you enter officialdom, you will penetrate the world'?"
Mrs. Qin shook her head.
Li Qi sighed and said: "Madam, let's open a restaurant, and there are so many troubles of intrigues, but the business is ruined. It can be recovered, but if you make a wrong move in the officialdom, you may put yourself in a dangerous situation.
In the land of eternal doom, you know that I am a person who has never been able to keep his mouth shut. And I am also quite impulsive. If one day I say the wrong thing and offend some high officials, don’t say anything about me. I’m afraid it will also implicate Uncle Bai.
With Uncle Wang, or even Zuixianju, even if I die a hundred times, I still can't make up for my mistakes."
After hearing this, Mrs. Qin nodded slightly and said, "What you said makes sense. Maybe you are really not suitable for an official career."
"It's not maybe, it's definitely not suitable."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Actually, my goal in life is very simple, which is to make money and look at beautiful women. Zuixianju can not only help me make money, but also has a first-class beauty like Madam, even if I get a lot of money,
I’m not willing to leave either.”
Mrs. Qin blushed and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about here again?"
Li Qi's expression remained unchanged and he argued with reason: "I'm not talking nonsense. If Madam doesn't believe it, you can go and look in the mirror."
Mrs. Qin slammed the table.
Li Qi immediately became weak and said: "No, don't tell me to get out, I'll go by myself. However, before I leave, I still have to say, Madam, you really don't need to feel inferior. Look in the mirror more often when you have time.
You will find that these are all my words from the bottom of my heart."
Mrs. Qin raised her eyebrows, pointed towards the door, and said angrily: "Get out of here right away."
"oh."
After Li Qi left, Mrs. Qin sat in a chair for a while, stunned, and suddenly started to giggle.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The next day, Li Qi arrived at Zuixianju on time. As soon as he tied up the donkey and came out of the backyard, he saw Bai Qiannuo walking towards this place alone from a distance. He felt happy and hurriedly waved and shouted: "Qiniang
.”
When Bai Qiannuo saw Li Qi, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he quickened his pace and walked towards Li Qi.
When Bai Qiannuo approached, Li Qi suddenly turned serious and complained: "Qiniang, why haven't you come to Zuixianju in the past few days?"
Bai Qiannuo was stunned for a moment, with a hint of uneasiness, and said, "I'm studying your algorithm at home, so---."
"I knew that was the case."
Li Qi rolled his eyes, snorted, and said angrily: "Next time, you will never learn anything from me."
Bai Qiannuo saw that he was not angry and chuckled: "Even if you want to teach me now, I don't have time to learn it because I am currently learning trigonometric functions."
Depend on!
Li Qi's eyes widened and he gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that I have to say hello to Uncle Bai next time."
Bai Qiannuo raised the corner of her mouth and hummed, "My father won't listen to you."
That's true. Li Qi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Qiniang, you said you are a girl and do not marry but follow your husband. What kind of knowledge do you have? Why don't you come here every day to chat with my wife? You can accompany me casually.
me."
Bai Qiannuo blushed, rolled her eyes at him, and said, "I remember when you asked Sister Wang to come out to take care of Zuixianju's business, that's not what you said."
Li Qi said with an innocent look: "No. Didn't I always ask you to come to Zuixianju to accompany me?"
"You---I won't tell you anymore."
.....
While they were talking, the two of them came to sit down in an elegant seat on the second floor of Zuixianju.
As soon as Bai Qiannuo sat down, he seemed to remember something and said hurriedly: "Brother Li, don't lie to my father again next time."
Li Qi was stunned and said angrily: "When did I lie to your father? Who started this rumor? Uncle Bai is my future father-in-law. I don't dare to lie to him, even if I lie to him."
When Bai Qiannuo heard this, he was so frightened that he quickly looked around and saw no one around. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, rolled his eyes at Li Qi, and said angrily: "Who is yours? Don't talk nonsense, let me
It’s so bad for people to hear this.”
But there was half-blame in his tone, but there was also a bit of joy in it.
"It's not a matter of time yet."
Li Qi chuckled and said, "By the way, you just said that I lied to Uncle Bai. What's going on?"
Bai Qiannuo glanced at him sideways and said, "The names of those functions you mentioned, such as tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant, could they be lying to him."
"Of course not, the name I chose is all justified." Li Qi defended.
Bai Qiannuo said angrily: "I know, these are some terms used in the kitchen."
"Uh...well...actually--ahem, what did you say? The name I chose as a chef is naturally related to the kitchen. I can't choose one that's too elegant. How about you choose something nicer?" Li Qi
He scratched his forehead and said.
Bai Qiannuo was stunned and said, "Are those functions really called these names?"
Li Qidao: "Of course it's true. Do I need to lie about this?"
After hearing this, Bai Qiannuo felt that what Li Qi said seemed to make sense, and asked again: "I heard that Uncle Wang wants you to go to the Ministry of Industry to help him?"
Li Qi nodded and said: "Yes. But I rejected it."
Bai Qiannuo said anxiously: "Then - then why did you refuse?"
Li Qi heard that her tone was a little strange. After thinking for a moment, he understood.
If Mrs. Qin had asked this question, it must have been purely for Li Qi's sake, but when it came from Bai Qiannuo's mouth, the meaning was completely different. To put it nicely, she was planning after the two of them, to put it worse,
, even she actually doesn’t agree with the profession of cook.
Li Qi knew that she was not malicious and was not upset at all. He smiled slightly and said, "Qiniang, do you think being a chef is a very humble profession?"
Bai Qiannuo hurriedly explained: "I didn't think so. I ---."
"I know you don't think so. You are worried that your parents will think so."
Li Qi raised his hand to interrupt her, and then said: "Perhaps in your opinion, chefs are just like servants. They can't get on the table and no one looks down on them. But in my opinion, chefs are just like those talented people or scholar-bureaucrats.
But there is no difference. They use words to assemble poems and articles one after another, while we chefs use some food to assemble delicious dishes. The only difference is that they use pens, while we use pens.
It's the spoon. Sometimes I really don't understand. Since those scholar-officials think that we are despicable people, why do they spend money to eat the dishes made by us despicable people? I really don't know, what right do they have to look down on us?
We, at least in our country, don’t have any laws that stipulate that chefs are inferior to others.”
After Bai Qiannuo heard this, she was stunned. In fact, in her heart, Li Qi was no longer a cook. Who could know how to draw, know how to make pairs, and be able to make a third-grade official like Xiang Wang Zhongling?
He came to ask for advice. He said softly: "I'm sorry, Brother Li."
"You don't need to say sorry to me, I'm not talking about you."
Li Qi chuckled and said with a coquettish look on his face: "Actually, having said that, chef is just a synonym for my low profile. I think I am more like an artist."
After Bai Qiannuo heard this, he immediately chuckled and said, "Great artist, how are you preparing for the crab roe feast?"
"It's almost ready."
Li Qi nodded slightly, gave Bai Qiannuo a confident smile, and then turned to look out the window, really hoping that day would come soon.
