Regarding the foreign policy towards Xixia, Li Qi and Zhao Kai have discussed it countless times. Because Xixia's geographical location is extremely special, they cannot easily take action, let alone allow the Jin Kingdom to succeed. In short, if Xixia is to perish, it can only perish in
If the Song Dynasty died in the hands of the Jin Kingdom, the Song Dynasty would really be in danger.
However, the Song Dynasty does not yet have the strength to destroy Xixia, because once the war breaks out, the Jin Kingdom will definitely take advantage of the situation. Maintaining the status quo is what the Song Dynasty hopes to see most. However, there has been no movement from the Jin Kingdom, which makes Li Qi also
He didn't know what to do next, so he could only give Xixia some benefits for the time being, draw him to the Song Dynasty, and let them have enough strength to defend the Jin Kingdom, and then wait and see what happens.
Of course, the weapons sold to Xixia are all about to be eliminated. Once new weapons are developed, even if they start a war with Xixia, they can completely crush the opponent. However, these firearms are a great deterrent to the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom.
force.
After several days of busy work, Li Qi could finally take a breath and welcome the new year with a very relaxed attitude.
New Year's Eve.
The long-lost sun appeared in the sky like a layer of white gauze. Although only sparse sunlight fell on this land, it was enough to make the people excited.
Every time this day comes, the front door of Zuixianju is always deserted as never before, because this is the day when the big family of Zuixianju celebrates. Although the Chinese New Year is the most profitable day for restaurants, Li Qi respects this tradition very much.
days, and you must know that the employees of Zuixianju are refugees from all over the country. This tradition is very important to them.
Besides, Zuixianju Restaurant is no longer the most profitable business of Zuixianju Group.
What's the harm in being a little more willful if you have money?
Nowadays, many restaurants have begun to follow the example of Zuixianju, holding some New Year celebrations and issuing additional year-end bonuses. But having said that, there is actually no way to do this. Those businessmen certainly don’t want to pay this money, but the treatment of Zuixianju employees is so
Well, if you don't increase the benefits of employees, it will make the people below feel very uncomfortable.
It can be seen that even some details can affect the entire economic system, but those businesses will either advance or postpone this celebration and will not put it on the good day to make money at the end of the year.
"U---!"
A carriage stopped in front of Zuixianju Group, and Li Qi got out of the car. Every year on this day, as long as he was in the capital, he would go to various restaurants and factories under the Zuixianju Group to go around, or to visit the people below.
Employees wish each other a happy new year, which has become a tradition.
However, before entering, I heard footsteps coming from inside. There were at least a hundred people there.
Ma Qiao's eyes were shining. In fact, he was looking forward to today very much, because today he could go on a killing spree, and the most important thing was that Lu Meimei would be by his side today.
Li Qi glanced at this guy and told him: "You have to drink leisurely later. Don't always bully Xiao Liuzi. That guy only has a small amount of alcohol. You can knock people down as soon as you get up, and you have to drink them again in the afternoon."
It’s not easy to wake someone up and cook for you to eat.”
Ma Qiaotou raised his head and said: "A thousand cups of wine is too little to meet a close friend, but half a sentence is too much to talk without speculation."
The implication of this is that when I drink with them, I regard them as close friends. If someone invites me to drink, I may not be willing to drink.
This is indeed the case, Ma Qiao is not an alcoholic, she is a mother when she drinks, and she only drinks to watch others.
This narcissist! Li Qi cursed secretly, but suddenly glanced ahead and saw a carriage slowly approaching that way.
Ma Qiao turned around and asked in surprise: "Isn't that Madam's carriage?"
Unexpectedly, she also came, and she happened to have a companion today. A flash of joy flashed in Li Qi's eyes, and he was already making plans in his heart.
After a while, the carriage stopped in front of the door, and Xiao Tao got off the carriage first.
Today, Xiao Tao has grown into a tall and graceful girl. Although she is not as beautiful as Mrs. Qin, she is still a rare little beauty. I have to say that Xiao Liuzi is quite discerning.
"grown ups."
When Xiaotao got out of the car, she was surprised to see Li Qi.
Li Qi waved his hands and said with an unscrupulous smile: "Guard Xiaotao, come and see Xiaoliuzi."
Xiao Tao's face turned red immediately and she stamped her foot in shame.
Ma Qiao said: "Sister Xiaotao, this man is about to get married, and the woman is about to get married, how can you hide it?"
Xiao Tao said angrily: "Brother Ma, you are imitating adults. I will tell Sister Meimei later that you bullied me."
This was Ma Qiao's Achilles' heel. He jumped nervously and said, "Sister Xiao Tao, are you mistaken? The Privy Councilor is bullying you, and I am helping you."
This little Tao is still so spooky. Li Qi coughed lightly and said, "I didn't say anything about the fact that men should be married first and women should be married. It seems like Xiao Tao can't get married."
Ma Qiao turned his head abruptly and glared at Li Qi, as if to say, you've made a big joke, take it back quickly, and we can continue to play.
"Xiao Tao, don't pay attention to them."
With a soft voice, Mrs. Qin, wearing a light yellow cloak, walked out of the carriage. Although unlike Li Qi, she came every year, but she also came often to visit during the New Year and holidays.
Li Qi waved and said, "Good morning, madam."
Mrs. Qin got off the carriage and immediately gave Li Qi a roll of her eyes and said, "You two are so old that you actually bullied a little girl together, and you are not afraid of people laughing at you if you tell me."
Ma Qiao was about to cry. How could he, who had never been a bully, accept this blame? He was even more afraid that Xiao Tao would really go to Meimei to file a complaint against him, so he kept winking at Li Qi, asking Li Qi to take the blame.
Are you kidding? Now that the Legislative Yuan is here, do I dare to bear this crime? Li Qi turned a blind eye and thought, since I don't tease the younger ones, I will tease the older ones. He smiled at Mrs. Qin and said, "Madam, you should know that I
Are you coming here today, could it be that--hehe."
"What?" Mrs. Qin was stunned at first, but as soon as the words came out, she reacted, spat, ignored Li Qi, and said to Xiao Tao: "Let's go in."
The master and the servant walked inside.
Li Qi saw Ma Qiao looking at him with a murderous look and said, "Why are you looking at me? I haven't worked very hard to attract hatred towards me. You are not satisfied yet."
After saying that, he also walked into the store.
"Madam is here."
"Madam is here."
The bartenders who were moving tables and chairs and setting up the venue stopped when they saw Mrs. Qin suddenly walking in, and looked at Mrs. Qin in surprise.
Before Mrs. Qin could speak, Li Qi came out from behind and said loudly: "Everyone, everyone, Madam knows that you have worked hard in the past year, so I came here to visit you all. Although I am empty-handed, it is already very grateful that Madam can come.
It's easy. You must have a few more drinks with your wife later." I added in my mind that although wine can cause sexual incest, there is no harm in being promiscuous occasionally.
Those employees believed it to be true and applauded one after another.
There was a trace of blush on Mrs. Qin's face, she glanced at Li Qi secretly, and thought to herself, didn't you bring any gifts yourself? In fact, she used to give some clothes and quilts to people in Zuixianju, but now she is an employee of Zuixianju.
Now that she has money, she doesn't have to worry about it anymore, but she didn't expect Li Qi to say it openly, so she said angrily: "As long as Master Li can have a glass of wine with everyone, I don't mind drinking a few more glasses."
Li Qi was immediately dumbfounded. When did this lady become so smart?
Mrs. Qin pursed her lips and felt a little proud in her heart. It was rare to make Li Qi feel embarrassed. She thought to herself, you, a non-drinker, still dare to mention the word "wine" randomly.
Tian Qi, Anan and the others saw some signs of secret happiness. Anan also mustered up the courage to say: "Brother Li, just have a few drinks with your wife."
Ma Qiao, who had just been betrayed by Li Qi, also wanted to use this to regain his position, saying: "Privy Councilor, if anyone says this to me, I won't call him Ma Qiao if he doesn't drink a jar first.
It’s a man’s nature, how can he take advantage of a woman?”
Good guy, your elbows are turned outward, do you still want to marry me as my apprentice? Li Qi couldn't keep it off his face, and secretly thought, this lady is really disgusting. She knew that I had sworn not to drink, but she actually exposed my scars. She is really angry.
I also.
He didn't even think about who started this topic.
"As much as you can."
The speaker was not Li Qi or Mrs. Qin, but Lu Meimei. Lu Meimei walked out of the kitchen with a steamer of pastries and said: "Master, madam, have you had breakfast? If not, come here.
Let’s eat together.”
Mrs. Qin smiled and said, "Thank you Meimei for your kindness. I'll come back after eating."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a strong wind blowing nearby. As soon as he closed and opened his eyes, Ma Qiao had already flown to Lu Meimei's side and said, "Junior sister, I'd better leave this kind of menial work to brother Wei."
He handed over the steamer.
A shameless person would show such shameless courtesy in public. Li Qi cursed in his heart.
"Brother Ma, can you help me by the way?"
Behind Lu Meimei, Wu Xiaoliu was seen struggling to hold a steamer basket and looking at Maqiao eagerly. He was not as tall as Lu Meimei, and this steamer basket really choked him.
"It's a small thing."
In front of Lu Meimei, Ma Qiao was extremely generous. He kicked out and Wu Xiaoliu felt his hand was empty. He was so frightened that he screamed. Before he could recover, the steamer had already landed on Ma Qiao's side.
in hand.
Everyone saw it and applauded.
Li Qi hurriedly whispered: "Madam, please be merciful and merciful. Can't we make peace?" There was really no way. No matter what, he couldn't drink. He was afraid that Mrs. Qin would not forgive him.
Anyway, he had no chance of winning when it came to drinking. Since he knew he would lose, why not admit his mistake early?
Mrs. Qin was forced to panic just now. She didn't want to drink, but she still hummed: "If you don't mess with me, how can I poke your pain?"
"understand."
People under the eaves had to bow their heads. Li Qi quickly diverted everyone's attention and stepped forward: "I know that everyone has worked hard in the past two years, so after discussing with my wife, I decided to give everyone a big holiday.
, until the fifteenth day, and you can live here drunk for three days, don't worry about the food and drinks, drink until you are happy and have all the fun."
These words were so morale-boosting that everyone cheered in unison.
Mrs. Qin said with a hint of worry: "But everyone should try not to get drunk. After all, being drunk will hurt your health, and it is also likely to cause some trouble."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a thunderous snore.
Li Qi and Mrs. Qin turned around at the same time and saw the drunkard huddled under the counter holding an empty wine jar and sleeping soundly. He was so drunk that he was unconscious.
This drunkard had calculated yesterday that if he was drunk now, when he woke up, he would be in time for dinner and get drunk again. In this way, he would be drunk one more time than others.
But his voice was definitely very powerful and he gave Mrs. Qin a slap in the face, which hurt her face.
Li Qi almost laughed out loud and said: "It can be seen from this that even if we are drunk, we in Zuixianju are still very well-educated and will not disturb others. You can just drink freely. I will leave the carriage behind."
Here, the drunk man was directly loaded into the carriage and sent back. I felt a little aggrieved and asked my wife to take me back." r1152
