Young Master Fan Lou is also one of the four young masters in the capital.
Li Qi has been in the Northern Song Dynasty for so long, but he has never been to Fanlou, let alone interacted with anyone from the Fan family. Among the four young masters, he has only met three, and the only one missing is Fan Shaobai...
He had occasionally heard Hong Tianjiu say that this Fan Shaobai used to often travel with them, but since he took over Fan Tower, he rarely went out and usually stayed in Fan Tower to take care of business.
Although this man likes profit, according to Hong Tianjiu, he is still quite generous to the other three young masters, so they used to have fun with each other.
Li Qi naturally knew that Fan Shaobai was not being generous to them, but that he wanted to keep these big customers.
People like Hong Tianjiu and Gao Yanei never care about the price when eating. They eat whatever is delicious to death without caring about money at all.
Who doesn't like this kind of customer in a restaurant?
Li Qi didn't want to deal with Fan Lou, not because he didn't want to, but people might not like them. However, Fan Shaobai suddenly invited him here during this sensitive period, and he vaguely felt that this matter had something to do with Jade Pavilion.
"It turns out to be Young Master Fan. I have admired you for a long time. I am Li Qi."
Li Qi smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, Fan Shaobai looked arrogant when he greeted him just now, so he didn't show too much, his expression was unusually calm.
"Master Li's name is ringing in my ears like thunder. Please sit down."
Li Qi smiled faintly, and after sitting down, he heard Fan Shaobai say: "I didn't expect that Master Li is not only a superb cook, but also a good storyteller. To tell you the truth, everyone who went to the restaurant to eat recently was talking about Li Qi."
Master Li's Romance of the Three Kingdoms, if I hadn't been so entangled in the mundane things, I would have wanted to go to your shop with Xiaojiu and the others to listen to Master Li's stories."
"Where, where."
Li Qi chuckled, thinking that a businessman is a businessman. He can talk better than me.
Fan Shaobai smiled and said: "I heard that your store has recently launched a flatbread called pizza. I guess this is also made by Master Li."
Aren't you talking nonsense? Li Qi smiled and nodded.
"I've also tried a piece of this pizza. It's really delicious."
At this point, Fan Shaobai suddenly let out a long sigh and said: "It's a pity that my wife Zhang can't make this cake, otherwise I would have followed Master Li's lead and made some kind of pizza day. Then I wouldn't have to worry so much."
You are really damn capable. You took such a big detour because you just wanted to ridicule me. Okay, I will satisfy you.
Li Qi pretended to be curious and said, "Oh? I wonder why Young Master Fan is worried?"
Fan Shaobai sighed: "It's not just because of the incident in Killing Pig Lane." He then gave Li Qi a meaningful look.
Pretending? Let’s see who is better at pretending.
"Pig Killing Alley?"
Li Qi put on a face that was even more miserable than Fan Shaobai's and said angrily: "Master Fan, please don't ever mention me to Killing Pig Alley. I'm afraid I will really be able to curse and bump into Master Fan. Then
I can’t bear it!”
"Oh? Why is this?"
Fan Shaobai said in surprise, but there was a bit of a smile in his eyes.
Li Qi sat up straight and said: "Mr. Fan, please forgive me for asking first. I heard that your Fan Building has not been affected by the Pig Killing Lane incident. The number of customers visiting your store has increased unabated. What are you doing for that?
Such troubles.”
Fan Shaobai sighed softly and said: "Master Li doesn't know something. Yes, although the small shop still has meat for sale, Yuan Cai and twenty big restaurants have reduced the price. They want a huge amount of meat. So the price is naturally lower.
, but the purchase price of the small shop is still the same as before. They can lower it, but I can't afford it. But if I don't lower it, all the customers will run to them. Don't look at the small shop business now.
, in fact, you will be compensated as much as you do.”
Li Qi only believed 50% of this. It would be hard for anyone to do this at Jade Pavilion, but the amount of meat Fan Lou sells every day is quite a lot, and he also has two people who specialize in supplying to Fan Lou.
Butchers, it's not impossible to lower the price after discussion.
Li Qi gave a bitter smile and said: "I hope I don't have Mr. Fan's troubles. The shop wants to surrender now, but there is no meat to surrender!"
"Master Li, what do you mean by this?" Fan Shaobai asked curiously.
What does it mean? I'm afraid you know it better than me.
Li Qi sighed: "To tell you the truth, these restaurants are actually doing this series of actions to target Zuixianju. Now in our Zuixianju kitchen, we can't even find meat residue. If there is meat, even if it is...
Selling at a loss, I'm happy, it's better than selling without meat. Alas, when this pizza day is over, if we don't find a source of meat, I'm afraid Zuixianju will have to close down again. How long has it been open? Alas,
You said we were provoking someone."
Li Qi became angrier and angrier as he spoke, almost swearing.
In fact, these are not secrets. Although the guests who came to Zui Xianju for dinner are now attracted by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and have not thought about it, how could Fan Shaobai, an insider, not know that what he said was just to seduce
Li Qi said it himself.
"Master Li, don't be anxious."
Fan Shaobai smiled slightly and said: "It is said that a big tree attracts the wind. Your business in Zuixianju is booming. It is inevitable that other restaurants will be jealous of you. Plus, your second chef's plaque is hanging there. How can they not be afraid?"
"Are you not in a hurry? Mr. Fan, if I don't find the source of meat again, what will we do? Our wife is so anxious that her hair has grown gray, and Uncle Wu is so anxious that he can't sleep well."
, I am also a lot older." Li Qi pounded the table and said excitedly.
Little did they know that both Mrs. Qin and Wu Furong had full confidence in Li Qi, so how could they be so anxious? Now they are still waiting for Li Qi to go back and tell stories.
"That's true."
Fan Shaobai nodded with deep understanding and said with a sad look on his face: "Then what are you going to do? Are they still going to make trouble?"
Li Qi sighed bitterly: "My wife plans to take advantage of Pizza Day to buy meat in nearby towns."
"Go to a nearby town to buy meat?"
Fan Shaobai shook his head and said: "Master Li, I think it is inappropriate for you to do this. Although the price of meat in the city has dropped, the low-price meat outside Cai Yuanwai has not spread to nearby towns. The price of meat there is still the same as before.
, if you buy meat from them, it will be like a small store, you will get compensation for how much you sell. And the distance is so far, whether it can be delivered every day is still a question."
"I understand this too. But..."
As Li Qi spoke, he suddenly slammed the table, which made Fan Shaobai tremble. When Li Qi saw this, he laughed secretly in his heart, but said angrily: "But that member Cai is bullying too much. At worst, I will fight with him and put him like that."
Jade Pavilion was completely burned, so it’s just a life. Anyway, my life was saved by Uncle Wu, so I’ll treat it as returning it to him.”
"It can't be done, it can't be done."
Fan Shaobai quickly advised and said gently: "Master Li, calm down and calm down. In fact, the matter has not reached this stage yet. You can think of another way."
"What else can you do? This is the easiest way." Li Qi suppressed a smile and said in his heart, I wasted so much time to deceive you. If you don't tell me the truth later, I will curse you for not having a baby.
jj.
"There is no way."
Fan Shaobai stopped talking, blinked a few times, looking hesitant.
Li Qi said anxiously: "Oh, Mr. Fan, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"Actually, I know a few butchers. It's not difficult to get some meat from them." Fan Shaobai rubbed his chin.
Profiteer!
Li Qi groaned and said, "Mr. Fan, why didn't you tell me earlier? Well, at the price Cai Yuanwai sells now, you can help us get 1,800 kilograms of meat first."
Thousands of kilograms? The price Cai Yuanwai sells for meat now is the purchase price. You think I have never done business. Isn’t this person crazy in a hurry?
Fan Shaobai was stunned for a while and then said: "Uh... don't be busy yet, don't be busy yet. In fact, I invited Master Li here today because I want to discuss cooperation with Master Li."
"cooperate?"
Li Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "You should ask Madam about this matter. Why are you asking me?"
"Master Li, you misunderstood."
Fan Shaobai hurriedly explained: "Actually, I want to talk to Master Li about bar cooperation."
"bar?"
A bright light flashed in Li Qi's eyes, and he looked at Fan Shaobai suspiciously.
Fan Shaobai smiled and said: "Master Li, there is no need to worry. The Yamen accidentally mentioned this matter to me. I heard them say that Mrs. Qin has entrusted all the bar matters to you. If you can agree,
, then Mrs. Qin will definitely not have any objections."
Damn it! Why does that idiot Gao Yanei tell outsiders everything, and even his colleagues?
Li Qi glanced at him and said, "Young Master Fan must know that this is a three-party collaboration between Zuixianju, Xiaojiu and Gao Yanei. Isn't it inappropriate for me to talk to you alone since they are not here?"
Fan Shaobai smiled slightly and said: "I have discussed this with Xiaojiu and Yameni, and they are both willing to give me a share."
Li Qi frowned and said, "Seriously?"
"Of course it's true. They both said that as long as you agree, they will have no problem. If you don't believe it, you can ask them and you will find out." Fan Shaobai said with a smile.
Gao Yanei and Hong Tianjiu Tu have a passion for music. Of course, the more people there are, the more they like it.
Li Qi secretly scolded Hong Tianjiu and Gao Yanei for being idiots, and said lightly: "That's all?"
Fan Shaobai shook his head and said: "I hope you, Zui Xianju, can also spare two percent of your family."
Hearing this, Li Qi finally understood that this guy was here to take advantage of the situation. But you picked the wrong person, raised the corner of your mouth and said: "Master Fan, you want to monopolize four portions, so your appetite is too big.
"
Fan Shaobai hurriedly said: "Master Li, please don't misunderstand. In fact, Brother Chai also wants to participate. You give him 10%, and I only take 30%. But don't worry, it will be as much money as you need, and you won't lose a penny."
I'm sorry there are so many people thinking about this bar.
Li Qi asked curiously: "Forgive me for asking, why is Mr. Fan so interested in this bar?"
Fan Shaobai said: "I heard from Yanei that your idea for this bar is indeed a good thing. With the combined efforts of the few of us, I believe this bar will soon be spread all over the capital." If he hadn't only half-understood this bar, he would have
He had already opened it by himself, and what he wanted was Li Qi's skills.
Li Qi was very disappointed. After wasting so much time, he didn't get anything. He didn't want to be verbose. He stood up and said, "I'm sorry. Actually, my wife originally planned to do this bar by herself. If it weren't for Xiao Jiu's sake,
, we won’t take it out even if we are members. Thank you Mr. Fan for the hospitality. Li Qi took his leave."
Mr. Fan stood up hurriedly and said: "Master Li, the current situation of Zuixianju is exactly when you need allies. Don't you think about it anymore?"
"I'm sorry, there really is no room for negotiation on this matter. At worst, I will ask my wife to change Zuixianju into a Taoist temple and become a vegetarian." Li Qi chuckled, nodded, "Goodbye!" He opened the door and left.
Fan Shaobai squinted his eyes, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, kicked up the chair Li Qi had just sat on, and then walked out angrily.
The first thing Li Qi did when he returned to Zuixianju was to call Gao Yanei and Hong Tianjiu to the backyard and give them a good scolding. He was so annoyed that he didn't care about Gao Yanei's identity.
Gao Ya's several arrogant but mindless rebuttals immediately drew another scolding from Li Qi.
Li Qi was really mad. Can he just give these shares if he says they will? He must have a bottom line. Pointing at Gao Yanei and Hong Tianjiu, he said, if there is a next time, this bar will definitely win.
It won't open.
This made Hong Tianjiu anxious, and he kept nodding his head in assurance.
Although Gao Yanei still looked dissatisfied, he did not say anything. He actually scolded Fan Shaobai half to death in his heart.
