Li Qi was stunned and said hurriedly: "You guys get up first and then talk about it. What will happen if you kneel to me? Get up quickly."
Lu Meimei said stubbornly: "If Master Li doesn't promise me, I won't get up."
However, Lu Meimei's stubbornness made Li Qi very disgusted. His face turned cold and he snorted: "In that case, then go kneel outside, we still have to do business."
"You don't know how to praise me. My junior sister sincerely worships you as my teacher, but you treat her like this. I must teach you a lesson today."
After Ma Qiao finished cursing, before Lu Meimei could react, he suddenly jumped up from the ground and rushed towards Li Qi.
Li Qi never expected that this guy was of such low quality, that he would do it at will, and so fast that he couldn't even react.
In an instant, Ma Qiao had rushed in front of Li Qi and grabbed Li Qi's chest with his right hand.
Everyone was shocked.
Li Qi was even more shocked.
Bang.
In the flash of lightning, a hand suddenly appeared from behind Li Qi and blocked Ma Qiao's hand.
Suddenly, a figure flashed in front of Li Qi.
The person who came was none other than a guard beside the high official.
Ma Qiao was already overwhelmed with anger, so he didn't care so much and kicked him out.
The guard refused to dodge and flew out with a kick.
boom.
The two of them took a small step back at the same time.
Ma Qiao was stunned, as if he didn't expect that the guard would block his kick.
The guard's face was still expressionless, but an imperceptible surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Well come."
Ma Qiao shouted loudly, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and he was about to step forward again, but suddenly he heard Lu Meimei behind him shout: "That's enough."
"Junior sister."
Ma Qiao turned around and saw that Lu Meimei had stood up and was glaring at him, and he couldn't help but feel guilty.
Lu Meimei sighed softly and said, "Senior brother, this is my business. Please let me solve it myself."
Ma Qiao said anxiously: "Junior sister, your business is my business."
Lu Meimei closed her eyes helplessly, and then said: "Let's go."
Ma Qiao said happily: "Yes, isn't it just a second chef? What's so great about it - by the way, where are we going now?"
"Go out and kneel."
"ah?"
Li Qi had reacted now. His back was almost soaked and he was very angry. He hummed: "I advise you to give up on this idea. I will not accept you as my disciple."
Lu Meimei pretended not to hear and walked out carrying her baggage.
Ma Qiao glared at Li Qi angrily, and then followed him out, "Junior sister, what are you doing... Hey, junior sister."
Li Qi was too lazy to pay attention to them, turned around and cupped his hands towards the guard, saying, "Thank you so much." Before he could say the word "thank you", the guard had already returned to the high official.
Personalized. I like it.
Li Qi was not annoyed at all, and raised his hands towards the senior official and said, "Thank you, senior official, for your help."
The senior official smiled and said, "Are you really not going to accept them as your disciples?"
Li Qi shook his head and said, "No."
"Why?"
Li Qi said honestly: "Because I hate them."
The senior official laughed, got up and walked upstairs.
Zuo Boqing came over and said, "Master Li, please tell me upstairs."
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Yeah. I'll go up later." But in his heart, he was wondering what the hell this high official was up to.
Zuo Boqing nodded and went upstairs.
Seeing that the show was over, everyone dispersed, sat back on their tables, and continued drinking.
Li Qi asked the bartender to remove the things, and then returned to the kitchen to arrange the tasks. He was ready to go upstairs to meet the senior official.
"Master Li, Master Li."
As soon as Li Qi came out of the kitchen, he was stopped by Wu Furong.
"Uncle Wu, what's the matter?"
Wu Furong coughed slightly and looked outside the door again. He said worriedly: "Master Li, those two who are still kneeling outside the door now, are you really not going to care about them?"
This old guy won't want to do the same thing again, thinking that those two guys are just like this handsome guy, a time-travel ghost. He is really greedy.
Li Qi said angrily: "Uncle Wu, go and ask them. If they know what it means to kill a horse and kill a chicken, then we will take them in."
"oh."
Wu Furong nodded subconsciously and asked again: "What does it mean for a horse to kill a chicken?"
"nice one."
Li Qi chuckled and said: "I went up first, the guests are still waiting."
Arriving at the heavenly and earthly box on the third floor, Li Qi bowed his hands to the official and said with a smile: "Official, Brother Zuo, what kind of food do you want to eat today?"
"Let's skip it today."
The senior official waved his hand and said: "The bowl of dragon beard noodles just now has filled your stomach. You can sit down."
Day! You didn’t come here to give me money and make me happy in vain.
Li Qi forced a smile and sat down.
The senior official actually saw Li Qi's thoughts and said with a smile: "It's not that I don't want to spend the money, it's just that you gave me nowhere to spend the money."
Li Qi was stunned and said: "Why would a high-ranking official say this?"
The senior official pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "I just asked the bartender to bring a jug of Peerless Unparalleled, but the bartender said there is no more. What's the point?"
Do you blame me? When did your mother come here? I didn’t give you the best in the world and didn’t pay you a penny. I really don’t know where you got the confidence to scream here.
Not to mention that the peerless wine was okay, but speaking of it, Li Qi was very angry. When the peerless wine was brewed, it was basically made from harvested wine. The real peerless wine is now all in wooden barrels. In order not to waste resources, he only brewed two barrels, about fifty pots, and he had no intention of selling them, so he just gave them as a favor.
As a result, even if they gave this thing, they also wanted that one, and these people were all greedy and wanted to take it again, especially Hong Tianjiu, who once took two bottles back when he was not around.
Nowadays, let alone being unparalleled, there is even a wooden wine pot left.
"I'm sorry. I only brewed dozens of bottles of this unique product and gave it away early in the morning." Li Qi said depressedly.
The official said curiously: "This is strange. This wine is so good, why do you only brew so much?"
Li Qi subconsciously replied, "This wine is just average, nothing special." But as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he regretted it.
Sure enough, the senior official was startled and said: "Oh? So it seems that you have hidden better wine." At this point, his face suddenly darkened, and he continued: "In that case, why don't you Take it out and let me have a taste."
Shit! I'm not in my best mood today. This secret just came out of my mouth like flattery.
Li Qi secretly regretted it in his heart. But now he could only tell the truth, saying: "To be fair to the officials, in fact, the peerless drink you drank before was only a semi-finished product. If you want to drink the real peerless drink, you must at least drink it." You have to wait two or three years.”
Semi-finished product? What will the finished product look like?
The official took a deep breath and asked, "Why is this?"
Li Qi smiled bitterly and said: "Good wine requires waiting patiently. I believe the high officials also know this. Since it is called Peerless, it will not appear easily."
"So where is this wine now?"
"Why---why are you asking this?" Li Qi said cautiously.
The senior official was stunned, laughed, and said: "Don't worry. I'm just asking casually. It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. Anyway, you will be willing to tell me sooner or later."
Is it awesome?
Li Qi obviously didn't believe his nonsense.
The senior official smiled slightly and said: "I also heard a little bit about what you did at the crab roe banquet. Your kid outperformed the chefs of other restaurants with just a 'cholesterol'. It can be said that he succeeded by surprise."
Have you heard anything?
Li Qi glanced at Zuo Boqing and thought to himself, I'm afraid you have understood the whole thing clearly. You are trying to pretend to be naive, but Zuo Boqing still has a place in the Taishi Mansion.
, and those old Cai guys seem to value him very much, but why does he obey the orders of this high-ranking official? It seems that this person has a good background.
"It all depends on Brother Zuo's help. I can win by luck."
Li Qi first gave Zuo Boqing two grateful looks, then suddenly changed the subject and said: "But the senior officials said it was a surprise victory, but I have a different view about cholesterol. Everything I said is true, and there is no such thing as
It’s just a lie, and to put it bluntly, this health regimen is for everyone’s benefit, not to mention my stewed tofu is not bad either.”
Zuo Boqing nodded and said: "Yes, even in terms of cooking skills, Master Li is not inferior to others."
The official laughed and said: "Then let me ask you, where did you learn about this 'cholesterol'? Don't tell me, you got it when you were playing in the mud when you were a child."
"Of course not."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Because my mother is a doctor, she taught me about cholesterol and health care."
In fact, Cai Jing asked him about this issue last time. Because it was really difficult to explain, he shamelessly brought out his mother to take the blame. Anyway, no one in the world could find his mother.
"Your father is a cook and your mother is a female doctor. There are really many capable people in your family." The senior official said with a wry smile.
Li Qi chuckled and said, "Everyone just eats for a living."
The official laughed twice and asked again: "In your opinion, what food can I not eat?"
Li Qi chuckled and said: "A high-ranking official has a rosy face and is radiant. He is in the prime of life. Of course, he has no taboos. He is in great shape and eats whatever tastes good. As long as he doesn't overeat, there should be no problem."
"Your mouth is much better than your cooking skills."
The high-ranking official was stunned, then smiled and shook his head, and suddenly asked with a serious face: "Then did your mother tell you what people who are weak in blood should eat?"
Li Qi was stunned for a moment and replied: "This one is divided into men and women."
"Woman." The senior official said simply.
"Your wife?" Li Qi gossiped.
The senior official glanced at him sideways and said, "Your question is too detailed."
Hehe. Could it be my little lover?
Li Qi smiled and said: "Actually, I just want to ask how old this person is. This is actually very important."
After hearing this, the senior official felt that it made sense, nodded and said, "About thirty."
Must be a lover.
After Li Qi secretly confirmed it, he immediately pretended to be ignorant and said with a smile: "You are not feeling well. You should ask the doctor and ask me, a cook, if something is wrong."
The official said with a smile: "It is said that good medicine is bitter in taste, but if there is a good medicine that is not bitter in taste, of course we should choose the best."
This flattery is pretty good, okay, I'll give you two tricks.
Li Qi deliberately pretended to think for a while, and then said: "You can try making some lotus root, fungus and old duck stew, glutinous rice and red date porridge, yam, chestnuts and pork belly stew, but because I don't know what exactly is the reason for the woman you mentioned.
She has insufficient blood energy, so I don’t dare to say that it will definitely be cured. I can only guarantee that these foods will not cause harm to her."
"That's enough."
The senior official nodded and said: "Let's do this. You will tell Boqing how to make these dishes later. If they are useful, I will definitely reward you heavily."
Reward me? You won’t just write a few words again, will you?
Li Qi was no longer as excited as last time, and replied lightly, "Thank you, the official."
How could the high official not know what he was thinking, but he didn't say anything more. He suddenly pointed his finger at the beam and said: "You have hung these two couplets for so long, I think they are almost done.
Lest others still think that I have no talent in the Song Dynasty." (To be continued)
