The first thousand four hundred and thirty-one chapters bring beauty to the West Lake
Li Qi rested in the courtyard for two days. In fact, it was not considered a rest. The group of people in the yamen harassed him all day long, either drinking and spanking, or playing poker and mahjong. Then Li Qi summoned the businessmen from Bianliang, including
Some wealthy businessmen who had come to Jiangnan earlier, including Cai Minde, held a meeting.
It's not that he is anxious, but that the businessmen are anxious, because doing business depends on timing, and opportunities are fleeting.
The purpose of Li Qi's meeting was to persuade them to invest in the Lingnan area and Yunnan Road.
However, this kind of meeting is really easy for Li Qi. Anyway, as long as it is not about the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, he can handle it. At the meeting, he once again used his outstanding eloquence to describe a grand picture for the people sitting here.
The blueprint comes.
There was constant applause at the meeting.
Those businessmen were worried that they had nowhere to use their money, so Li Qi presented them with a great opportunity.
Li Qi also cleverly conveyed a message to them, that is, domestic consumption is increasing day by day, which is not good news for businessmen, because as consumption increases, wages will definitely increase, and this must be balanced.
Although he did not tell them explicitly, he told them from the side that the introduction of cheap labor can effectively adjust domestic prices and increase the temperature of manpower.
These businessmen are all very shrewd. How could they not understand? They all agree with Li Qi, but in their hearts they all have their own calculations. They all know that it is definitely profitable to go south now. The problem is how to get it before others.
More benefits.
These are all business secrets, and they would not be stupid enough to bring them up on the spot. Therefore, throughout the meeting, Li Qi was talking and they were listening. At most, they were asking about the current situation of Jiaozhi and Dali.
Of course Li Qi understands, but he can't control these things. As long as these people follow the general policy of the court, it will be fine. As for the details, that is their own business.
This meeting lasted for two days before it ended.
After explaining the matter, Li Qi's mission in Hangzhou was almost completed. He then gave himself a few days off to rest. He also needed to rest. You must know that he had almost no rest along the way.
.......
The autumn air is crisp, and the sun that has not appeared for a long time suddenly appears in the blue sky. The warm sunshine shines on this land, giving the golden autumn a golden halo. It is even more beautiful.
On the West Lake, the scenery is picturesque with sparkling waves, green mountains and green waters, boats are passing by, and there is constant sound of frolic.
After a while, I saw two large pleasure boats coming slowly from the north of the West Lake. They seemed to stand out from the rest of the West Lake.
The boat in front was very lively, and several women in fancy clothes in the cabin were swaying their plump hips and breasts, singing and dancing, causing a roar of hungry wolves.
However, there was another person sitting cross-legged on the deck outside. This person held his chin in one hand and had a sad expression on his face.
This person is none other than Gao Yanei.
It's hard to imagine that under such circumstances, he would sit outside alone instead of "dancing" with the singing girls inside.
After a while, Hong Tianjiu suddenly walked out, saw Gao Yanei, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Brother, why are you sitting here alone?"
Gao Yanei tilted his head and said proudly: "I'm thinking."
"Thinking about what?"
"Li Qi."
"Brother Li?" Hong Tianjiu was stunned and said, "Brother, have you been stimulated by something? This is not like you."
Gao Yanei asked in astonishment: "How do you say that?"
"Don't you usually think about women? Why are you thinking about Brother Li?"
"I'm just thinking about women!"
"Brother Li, our guest, is a man. Brother, are you really okay?"
"Xiaojiu, you are too naive."
Gao Yanei looked at Hong Tianjiu angrily and said, "Look at the women inside."
Hong Tianjiu said carelessly: "They are all pretty good."
"But compared to the one on Reacher's ship?"
"This---this is a lot worse. There is no comparison at all."
"That's it." Gao Yanei sighed: "Why is Li Qi alone on a ship with so many beauties, and we are just like--oh, it's so cheap, what kind of birdman arranged this.
"
"Isn't it arranged by the Taiwei?"
"Yes, it seems that daddy asked us to build a cruise ship by ourselves."
Gao Yanei blinked and scratched his head, quite embarrassed.
Li Shishi is a bomb that can explode at any time. A man as steady as Brother Qiu will naturally not let his precious son have too much contact with Li Shishi.
Hong Tianjiu said: "Brother, actually I don't want to be on the same boat with them."
"Why?"
"Those people are too quiet. They only talk over cups of tea, and they are either reading poems or discussing national affairs. They are so boring. Besides, Brother Li still has to cook. How can he be as romantic as us?"
happy."
"Yes, Xiaojiu, what you said makes sense. Well, my brother is in a much better mood."
The more Gao Yanei thought about it, the more he felt that what Hong Tianjiu said was too reasonable. He laughed and said: "Yes, yes, if I were to stay with them, I would be very restrained."
"That's right, that's right, brother, let's go in quickly."
"Haha, my dear brother, you understand me."
Gao Yanei clamped his hips, jumped up, and announced his return like a hungry tiger pouncing on food.
.......
Compared with the pleasure boat in front, the one at the back seemed much quieter. There was no laughter or music, but the sound of chopping vegetables could be heard.
Wearing a top hat, an apron, and a kitchen knife in his hand, Li Qi showed off his cooking skills in the kitchen below. Perhaps for many men, cooking is not related to rest, but for Li Qi
To me, cooking is about relaxation, just like those giants on Wall Street playing golf.
Even if you want to play ball, you have to take a car, which shows how relaxing it is.
I saw the smell of crab filling the kitchen, and there were various types of crabs. Obviously today was crab-themed.
There was an assistant standing next to him. This assistant had a good background. He was Gao Yanei's new love---Su Yun.
Gao Yanei is a lover. He never worries that his woman will fall in love with someone else, and he is very open-minded about it. Of course, his woman never worries about him either. The difference is that the former is confident and the latter is helpless.
.
Since Da Zhu and Da Zhu still have to take care of the business of Zuixian Villa, it is impossible to come here to play. Among the women above, which one has experienced Yang Chun Shui, Su Yun, who used to make cakes, is slightly more suitable.
Su Yun had heard of the name Golden Knife Chef King before, and had often heard Gao Yanei praise Li Qi's cooking skills, but this was the first time she watched Li Qi cook. Looking at the miraculous knife skills, she felt shocked and amazed.
, is this person really a first-class official?
Similarly, Li Qi was also very curious about Su Yun, and asked while cutting: "Ms. Su, you should know about the situation in the yamen?"
Due to the existence of this living treasure in Gao Yanei, Su Yun and Li Qi were relatively familiar with each other. They were not as restrained as they were at the beginning. They nodded lightly a few times, but there was a hint of doubt in their eyes.
Li Qi asked curiously: "Then you don't have any ideas about this? Let me tell you secretly, there are several famous prostitutes from Hangzhou on that ship."
Typical sowing discord!
You must know that cheating is what Li Qi likes to do most.
Su Yun covered his lips and smiled softly: "It doesn't matter if he has ideas, he is that kind of person. If he can be persuaded, it won't be my turn. Aren't all men like this?"
Wow! She is very open-minded, why does that idiot Mao always get to meet such a good woman? It is so unfair. Li Qi secretly felt sad and said: "I am not like this, of course. You can do it too
Explain your way of thinking to my woman."
Su Yun chuckled and did not answer this question.
After a while, Li Qi was finally busy, and Su Yun said: "Sir, please go out and get some fresh air. I'll just keep an eye on you here."
Li Qi also wanted to go out and have a look, so he said, "Can you?"
Su Yun nodded.
"Okay then, I'm going to get some fresh air. If you need anything, just call me."
"Yeah. I understand."
Li Qi walked to the door, then suddenly turned around and said unwillingly: "Oh, do you want me to go over and see if the Yanei has done anything sorry for you?"
Su Yun just smiled and said: "If you want to go over there, why bother using my husband as an excuse?"
"Haha, I really shouldn't have let Mrs. Su see it."
Li Qi laughed and walked out, thinking, this woman is really interesting.
When he came outside, Li Qi did some stretching exercises and looked around. Instead of going upstairs directly, he went to the deck, intending to see the beautiful scenery of the West Lake and cultivate his sentiments.
After being bored in Zuixianju for several days, Li Qi wanted to go out for a walk, so he proposed to visit the West Lake. The last time he came back, he almost lost his life by Mrs. Qin before he even enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the West Lake.
Not to mention having fun, just saving one life would be considered good.
Originally, he invited Wei Jiulang and his family, but Wei Jiulang and his family planned to go alone, so that was okay. However, Wei Jiulang also invited Liu Yunxi to accompany them, which made Li Qi very depressed and secretly cursed Wei Jiulang.
You are so ignorant that you actually hindered him from picking up girls.
But when he came to the deck, Li Qi suddenly felt that his sentiments did not need to be cultivated at all. No scenery was as beautiful as the one in front of him. At the end of the deck, he saw a washed-up woman leaning on a long
On the sofa, she held her head with a fist in one hand, and her eyes fell into the distance. Her right foot was placed very casually on the sofa, half lying and half sitting. The silk white skirt could not cover up that graceful body at all.
The sun shines gently on it, and under the reflection of the silk, there are dots of golden light, and the face seems to be covered with a halo, hazy.
West Lake is nothing more than that!
Li Qi sighed in his heart and walked forward.
The sound of footsteps seemed to disturb the beauty. Seeing that Li Qi was coming, she hurriedly put her feet down and said with a grateful smile: "Thank you for your hard work."
In this patriarchal society, men are cooking in the kitchen while their women are bathing in the sun outside. This is simply unethical. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, I am afraid that only two weirdos, Li Qi and Su Shi, have done this.
thing.
This woman is Master Li.
"For me, this kind of hard work is really something that can only be met but not sought after. It's the same as playing the piano for you, and it's also a way to relieve stress."
While talking, Li Qi sat on the other end of the sofa and asked curiously: "Why are you sitting here alone, where are sister Qingzhao, Yanfu and the others?"
Master Li raised his head and said, "They were talking up there."
"Then why are you sitting here?" Li Qi asked curiously.
Li Shishi said: "They were all talking about national affairs. I was already tired of these, so I came down to take a look at the scenery."
"Yeah?"
Li Qizhi shook his head and said: "Then I'd better stay here. I finally come out to have fun. If you ask me to talk about those vulgar things again, I will really go crazy."
Master Li chuckled and said, "If I remember correctly, this is your responsibility."
"But responsibility does not mean life." Li Qi said: "I am also a human being, and I also need to take a breath."
Li Shishi smiled and said: "If you want to relax, you should go to the Yameni. Isn't that kind of environment what you men like best?"
She was originally from a profligate background, so her speech was not as particular as that of Li Qingzhao.
Li Qi chuckled, "This is all your fault."
"Blame me?"
Master Li said angrily: "I didn't let you go, and I don't have the power."
"That's what I said." Li Qi said: "But if you are used to seeing such beautiful women as Miss Shishi, how can those vulgar fans take notice of them? In the same way, Miss Shishi is used to seeing handsome men like me.
I won’t look down on Gao Yanei and the others either.”
Master Li's face turned red and she sighed and said: "How shameless." After a pause, she added: "But it's no wonder that the concubine above is both talented and beautiful. Even in terms of beauty alone, she is one of the few people in the world.
Can compare to her."
"Miss Shishi is still so good at talking." Li Qi smiled coquettishly and reciprocated: "But others have said this, and I agree with it with both hands. But when it comes from Miss Shishi, I have to think carefully about it. In fact, it has to be discussed.
In terms of beauty, you are on par with Yan Fu, or even better. After all, Yan Fu lacks a trace of femininity and is more masculine than me in some aspects, which still needs to be cultivated. In terms of figure, Miss Shishi is also slightly better, but in terms of temperament
Although you each have your own strengths and talents, Yan Fu is superior. Overall, Miss Shishi, you still have a small victory."
Seeing him commenting here in a serious manner, Master Li felt angry and amused, and said, "If you say that, you are not afraid of Yan Fu's anger."
"Just don't let her hear it."
"I guess if she was sitting across from you, you would have a different story."
"Of course."
This man is really mean. Li Shishi rolled his eyes at him, but he looked lazy, comfortable, and full of charm.
This woman is really a witch. She can touch a man's heart with every smile. Even a peerless good man like me is no exception. Li Qi sighed secretly in his heart.
Master Li suddenly said: "What about Shi Niang?"
"Shi Niang?"
Li Qi felt guilty and said: "Shi Niang what?"
"Don't let others know but don't do anything except yourself."
Li Qi smiled and said: "You know everything?" (To be continued...)
