Who is Tang Bohu? He was an expert in picking up girls in ancient times. His poems naturally have an unstoppable charm for women.
Through his poems, Li Qi not only suppressed Feng Yinu's arrogance, but also won a few faint smiles from Li Qingzhao. As for Bai Qiannuo, not to mention Bai Qiannuo, he was barely willing to commit himself.
It’s worth it, it’s so worth it.
Li Qi was so excited that he thanked Tang Bohu's eight generations of ancestors in his heart.
But even so, with a grown man like Li Qi here, Li Qingzhao and the others were naturally not in high spirits. After sitting for a while, they went back.
Li Qi originally wanted to send Bai Qiannuo back, but Feng Yinu stepped in and invited Bai Qiannuo to her home.
In desperation, Li Qi had no choice but to go back to Zuixianju. He went to the kitchen to have a look, and when he saw that everything was in order, he returned to the Qin Mansion and started preparing for Cai Jing's grandson's first birthday party.
As for the dishes, Li Qina was very confident, but the trivial items and some ingredients that were not available these days made him more troubled.
Although there are still about twenty days until the anniversary party, there are many things that need to be prepared in a hurry.
After returning to the Qin Mansion, Li Qi asked Aunt Chen to get some paper and charcoal, and then he went into his bedroom and worked until almost the fourth watch before he went to bed to rest.
The next day, Li Qi got up on time without an alarm clock. As soon as he opened his eyes, a figure suddenly seemed to be sitting in front of the bed. He screamed in fright and hurriedly shrank toward the wall.
"Master Li, you are too cowardly. If I want to harm you, will you still be alive?"
Maqiao?
Li Qi wiped his eyes and took a closer look. Isn't it Maqiao who was sitting next to the bed? An unknown anger rushed up and said angrily: "How did you get in?"
If Maqiao entered through the main entrance, someone would naturally come to inform him.
Ma Qiao said sarcastically: "I couldn't bear to disturb your wife, so I climbed over the wall and came in."
Climb the wall?
Li Qi said angrily: "You have some quality, who allowed you to come in? Believe it or not, I tell you to get out now."
"I knocked on the door. But you were sleeping like a pig, and I was afraid of being seen by others, so I came in by myself." Ma Qiao explained.
I didn't expect that I slept so soundly.
Li Qi sighed depressedly and said, "How long have you been here?"
"Half an hour."
"Half an hour?"
Li Qi's eyes opened, and there was a chill on his back. If Ma Qiao had the intention to harm him, then ten lives would not be enough for him. He hummed, "Didn't I warn you? You are not allowed to appear in Zuixian without my permission."
Within the scope of residence.”
Ma Qiao rolled his eyes and said, "Are you awake? This is the Qin Mansion."
"Uh... From today on, you are not allowed to come to the Qin Mansion, let alone my room." Li Qi said with a headache.
Ma Qiao said oh, with a depressed look on his face.
Li Qi shook his head helplessly and asked, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Ma Qiao chuckled: "I---I just want you to find a job for me, otherwise I will really die of boredom if you face those little kids all day long."
"Damn! What did I think it was? Is such a small thing worthy of you going over the wall?" Li Qi shouted speechlessly.
Ma Qiao chuckled and said, "This wall isn't very high, so it's not difficult to climb over."
Three black lines suddenly appeared on Li Qi's forehead, and he said: "Isn't there still your junior sister there? You just want to play with her."
"You also said that Meimei is busy cooking for those girls all day long. She has no time to pay attention to me." Ma Qiao complained.
It seems that the woman is a diligent person.
Li Qi felt a little relieved. He glanced at Ma Qiao, pondered for a moment and said, "Well, I just had a house in Xicheng that was being decorated, so you can go there and help. Anyway, you only have one room left."
I’m so strong.”
"What? You actually asked me, Ma Qiao, to be a craftsman." Ma Qiao said in disbelief.
Li Qi snorted: "What? You don't want to? Then forget it, you should go back. Whatever you want to do, you can find it yourself. Anyway, just don't appear within the scope of Zuixianju."
"Uh... Well, okay, okay, craftsmen are craftsmen, just think of it as practicing." Ma Qiao scratched his head and said distressedly.
Li Qi shook his head and said: "Well, I won't do it today. I will ask someone to find you tomorrow. They will tell you what you will do specifically. However, you still have to escort Xiaoyu and the others back at night. If anything happens to them
I'm asking about it for you."
"Don't worry about that."
Ma Qiao stood up and said, "Then I'll leave."
"I won't send it."
Li Qi snorted angrily and said: "Remember, don't let anyone see it. MD, a man came out of my room very early in the morning. This must be something."
Ma Qiao glanced at Li Qi in fear, and then hurriedly ran away.
This look in his eyes made Li Qi so angry that he almost fainted. He wouldn't think that the boss was gay, right?
After seeing off the plague god Maqiao, Li Qi took a shower and went to the Taishi Mansion with the drawings he drew last night.
Arriving at the Grand Master's Mansion, Li Qi went directly to Cai Yong. After all, Cai Jing and his son did not have time to take care of these things.
After Li Qi and Cai Yong chatted for a while, he explained his purpose of coming, and then handed him the drawings, hoping that he could find a way to get the things on the drawings out as soon as possible.
Cai Yong looked at the drawings again and again, then suddenly pointed to this drawing and asked: "Master Li, do you think this banquet must use this kind of wine glass?"
Li Qi looked at the red wine glass drawn on the drawing and said with a smile: "Not bad, and I hope it can be made of colored glaze."
"Liu Li?"
Cai Yong was stunned, shook his head and said: "Young master Li, you don't know. This glass is hard to find, and you need so much. If you try to make it now, I'm afraid you won't be able to make it in time."
Li Qi knew that this colored glaze was precious, because the manufacturing process of colored glaze these days was very complicated and cumbersome, and the success rate was relatively low, so it was difficult to buy in the world. But he thought this should not be a problem for Cai Jing.
, never thought that even Cai Jing could not do this.
All this is because technology is too backward!
Li Qi secretly sighed and frowned. It seemed that it would be difficult to popularize wine glasses at this anniversary party. He had to find a way to start with glass. Anyway, I know the principles of making glass. As for the
In practice, I believe that all Chinese craftsmen are not just idiots.
Although glass is available today, the quality and output are not very optimistic. Slightly better glass comes from the Western Regions, Arabia and other places, and the price alone is not suitable for making wine glasses.
Seeing that Li Qi was silent, Cai Yong shouted: "Master Li, Master Li."
Li Qi was slightly startled and said, "What's the matter?"
Cai Yong rolled his eyes, pointed at the drawing and said, "Look at this wine glass?"
"Oh, forget it, what kind of wine glass did you use before? Then use whatever wine glass you want." Li Qi nodded and smiled. Although the lack of this wine glass will make this banquet look a lot worse, there is nothing you can do about it. of.
Cai Yong nodded and took out another drawing. He saw a wooden barrel drawn on it and a turntable on the barrel. He asked, "Master Li, what is this?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "This is a hand mixer."
Cai Yong said in surprise: "Hand mixer?"
"Oh, this is for making cream."
"butter?"
Day. I forgot that there was no term for butter these days.
In fact, cream is already available now, but there are still very few people who eat it in the Central Plains. And their method of making cream is also relatively backward. First, let the milk stand, wait for it to separate naturally, take the top layer of milk skin, and then put it into a leather bag. inside, beat repeatedly to form cream, but this method is too backward and the efficiency value is also very low.
Of course, Li Qi's method of making cream with a hand mixer is also relatively backward, but because of today's technology, it is impossible to create a cream separator, so he can only settle for the next best thing and replace it with a hand mixer. Leather bag.
Li Qi explained: "This cream is just a seasoning. By the way, Butler Cai, I have to ask you to prepare a lot of milk for me."
Cai Yong nodded and said, "It's not difficult. Whenever you want it, just send someone to pick it up."
After Zhao Taizu established the Northern Song Dynasty, due to the implementation of the policy of protecting farm cattle and dairy cows, milk production increased sharply, and the dairy product industry also developed accordingly. The habit of drinking milk and eating dairy products began to spread among landlords and scholars and above. Nowadays, some ordinary people can also eat milk, so it goes without saying that the Taishi Mansion has it.
"Thank you very much." Li Qi cupped his hand and said.
"Master Li is too polite."
Cai Yong smiled slightly, then took out two more pieces of paper and asked, "What are this toothed knife and this little fork used for?"
He had never seen anything on these drawings before, so he couldn't help but feel very curious. He knew that Cai Sui attached great importance to this first-year banquet, so he didn't dare to be careless.
Li Qi smiled and said: "These are some tableware, used to match the dishes I am going to make that day."
"I see."
Cai Yong nodded and said: "Master Li, please forgive me for asking one more question. What kind of dishes are you planning to cook and how to use them? Each one is weirder than the last."
Li Qi chuckled and said: "Second Master Cai's young master is one year old, so I naturally have to make some special dishes. Otherwise, how can I show the love of Grand Master Cai and Second Master? As for what kind of dishes they are, I can't tell." Well, Butler Cai will naturally know about it by then."
"That is, that is."
Cai Yong nodded, and suddenly he heard a knock on the door, followed by a girl's voice, "Butler, the second master asked me to ask you, is Master Li here with you?"
Cai Yong arched his brows and said, "What's the matter?"
"The second master said that if Master Li is here, let him come over."
Looking for me?
Li Qi frowned, feeling extremely confused.
Cai Yong glanced at Li Qi and said: "Wait a moment." Then he said to Li Qi: "Since the second master has invited me, Master Li will make one more trip."
Li Qi smiled and nodded. After saying goodbye to Cai Yong, he went out and followed the maidservant to Cai Sui's courtyard.
After the maid informed, Li Qi opened the door and walked in. At this time, in addition to some serving maids, there were also a man and a woman sitting inside. Needless to say, the man was Cai Sui. As for the woman, Li Qi
Qi could only sigh bitterly, they are really enemies on a narrow road!
This woman is Feng Yinu. (To be continued)
