Zui Xianju and Fan Lou signed two contracts in total. One was for Cai Yuanwai and others to see. The price of meat was the same as before. The price of the second contract was the current purchase price of Cai Minde and others.
Li Qi was relieved that the problem of pork and mutton was finally solved, but the pressure on his shoulders continued to increase because there was still a banquet waiting for him.
Li Qi had already taught Feng Yinu the dance steps and music, and she was basically in charge of the singing and dancing part.
Xiaoyu is still responsible for training the bartender.
As for Li Qi, he still does what he does best, making dishes.
Today is the last day of Pizza Day. Although Pizza Day is about to pass, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms cannot be discontinued. If this is discontinued, Zui Xianju will not be able to do business. Li Qi will probably be beaten when he walks on the street.
Throw rotten eggs.
Therefore, Li Qi did not dare to go to Zuixianju before noon.
After working so hard for so many days, Li Qi gave himself a few hours of vacation and had a good sleep.
After waking up, Li Qi went to the front yard to stretch his muscles and do twenty push-ups as a little psychological comfort for himself, and then went to Ji Hongnu's yard.
In the past few days, he didn't have time to teach Ji Hongnu how to sing. Since he had nothing to do, he planned to see if her piano skills had improved.
As soon as he entered the courtyard where Ji Hongnu lived, he heard bursts of laughter coming from inside the house.
Wow! So many people.
With curiosity, Li Qi stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
Mrs. Qin's voice came from inside.
Madam is there too?
Li Qi pursed his lips, and then replied: "It's me. Li Qi."
Soon, the door opened. It wasn't Mrs. Qin or Ji Hongnu who opened the door, but Bai Qiannuo.
Li Qi was stunned and said in surprise: "Qiniang, when did you come?"
Bai Qiannuo smiled and said, "It's been a while since I've been here. Why did you get up at this time?"
Li Qi denied: "Who said that? I got up early, but I was just thinking about the dishes for the first-year banquet in my room."
Bai Qiannuo looked at his face and saw that he had just woken up. He pursed his lips and smiled, then let him in.
"Brother Li."
When Ji Hongnu saw Li Qi coming, he hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Li Qi nodded, then greeted his wife: "Good morning, madam."
"It's almost lunch."
Mrs. Qin gave a bitter smile and felt slightly disgusted when she saw his disheveled appearance, and said: "Li Qi, you should take off your hair at least. What does he look like with his disheveled hair?"
As soon as these words came out, Ji Hongnu and Bai Qiannuo both lowered their heads and snickered.
Li Qi's face was red, but he had never had such shawl-long hair in his life. He never had his hair tied up. When he went outside, he would just tie a rope into a ponytail. He said sarcastically: "
Anyway, you haven’t gone out yet, I’ll do it later.”
Mrs. Qin shook her head helplessly and said: "Also. Your hair is already so long. Don't wear it in braids anymore. Look at who is like you outside. You should wear it in a bun. If you don't know how, just call it a bun.
The maid will help you."
Hey! Does this lady have a chest pain? Why does she have such a big opinion on my image?
Li Qi said angrily: "Madam, I am very busy. If you can help me share more of my workload, then I will be willing to spend more time dressing up. Do you think I don't want to show my handsome appearance to everyone?
before."
This is really Mrs. Qin's Achilles' heel. She blushed, coughed lightly, and said, "I'm just saying casually, it's fine if you don't want to."
Bai Qiannuo glanced at Li Qi with a smile and said, "Sister Wang, please ignore him, he is just lazy."
Now that the hair was mentioned, Li Qi suddenly thought of cutting his hair. Long hair was too uncomfortable for him, a later generation man, and asked: "By the way, is it illegal to cut hair these days?"
The three women were stunned for a moment, and then shook their heads at the same time.
Just don't break the law.
Li Qi was afraid that the Northern Song Dynasty would be like the Qing Dynasty, where everyone would be beheaded if they cut their pigtails. That was too disrespectful. This also strengthened his determination to cut his hair.
"Brother Li, why do you ask this?" Bai Qiannuo asked curiously.
Li Qi chuckled and said, "I want to cut my hair shorter. I'm really tired of doing this all day long."
Mrs. Qin was surprised: "Your hair is still so short, why do you want to cut it?"
Is this still short?
Li Qi said angrily: "I've always liked the hairstyle I had when I was three years old, but I'm not used to this long hair."
When you were three years old?
Mrs. Qin asked in shock: "What did your hair look like when you were three years old?"
You want to ask me this too?
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "It's almost the same as when you were three years old."
Bai Qiannuo chuckled, and then said to Mrs. Qin: "Sister Wang, do you still remember Brother Li's weird short hair when he was here just now?"
When Mrs. Qin heard this, she immediately understood. She glared at Li Qi and said seriously: "My hair was given by my parents. How can I cut it off at will?"
Why does this lady keep saying such pedantic things?
Li Qi retorted: "Madam, if according to what you said, your body is also given by your parents, why are you still secretive? Are you embarrassed?" He added in his heart, if you dare to be open and honest in front of me, I will It's worth not cutting your hair forever.
Mrs. Qin was choked by Li Qi and her face turned red. She spat and was speechless.
Bai Qiannuo blushed and said, "Why are you so full of nonsense? Sister Wang said this for your own good."
Ji Hongnu didn't dare to say anything more, he just hid on the side and nodded slightly, seeming to be on Mrs. Qin's side.
Li Qi didn't take it seriously and said: "Qiniang, it's not like you don't understand me. I'm such a free and easy person. I do whatever I feel comfortable with. I never care about what others think. I have to cut my hair, otherwise I'm afraid I will Crazy." Then he said to the three beauties: "By the way, which one of you knows how to cut hair?"
Mrs. Qin could barely pay attention to him. She turned her head away and looked out of sight.
Seeing that the persuasion was useless, Bai Qiannuo shook his head and said, "I haven't cut it."
"Brother Li. When my mother was sick, I helped her trim it several times. I don't know if it counts." Ji Hongnu whispered.
"Fine, it will definitely count."
Li Qi finally found a laborer, but he was not willing to let it go. He nodded hurriedly and said: "Then I will be free someday. You can help Brother Li cut it, and I will draw a picture for him. You...just cut it according to the above."
Just when Ji Hongnu was about to agree, Bai Qiannuo said first, "How can this be possible?"
Li Qi said in surprise: "Why not?"
Bai Qiannuo stamped her foot and said, "The red slave is a woman, and you are a man. Men and women cannot be intimate."
It turned out that this little girl was jealous. Li Qi laughed and said: "How can there be so many men and women who are not close to each other? Anyway, the hair that the red slave touched by then has basically left me, so it doesn't count."
"Hongnu, you don't need to pay attention to him." Mrs. Qin snorted and said.
Li Qi looked up and said, "Hongnu, do you still remember who brought you into the Qin Mansion? As a human being, you must know how to repay kindness."
Ji Hongnu was caught in the middle, his eyes red with anxiety. He said: "Brother Li,..."
Mrs. Qin stood up and said angrily: "Li Qi, what do you mean?"
Li Qi also stood up, looked directly at Mrs. Qin, and said loudly: "Madam, I want to cut my hair. My hair is my own, you have nothing to do with it."
"Then you can just cut it yourself. Why do you have to force the red slave to cut it for you?" Mrs. Qin snorted.
"If I could cut it myself, I would have done it long ago."
Li Qi snorted and said to Ji Hongnu: "Hongnu, Brother Li is not forcing you. If you don't want to, forget it. I'll find someone else to cut it."
Ji Hongnu nodded and said, "Brother Li, I am willing to help you cut it."
"OK."
Li Qi smiled proudly and said to Mrs. Qin: "Madam, you heard it, it was the red slave's choice."
Mrs. Qin glanced at Ji Hongnu with hatred, sighed, and said: "Forget it, let you go, I don't want to care anymore."
Ji Hongnu said hurriedly: "I'm sorry, madam."
Mrs. Qin raised her hand to interrupt her and said, "I'm not blaming you, I'm just..." At this point, she glared at Li Qi again, but the latter was too thick-skinned and it had no effect at all.
Li Qi shrugged and saw Bai Qiannuo sitting aside, applauding and smiling, "Qiniang, do you know how to cut? If so, you might as well come and help me cut. I think it would be better if two people cut.
"
That's right. Since he must cut it, I can help him cut it. Bai Qiannuo rolled his eyes and said, "Well, then, if you let Hong Slave cut it for you alone, it will be quite tiring."
"Thank you so much. I will definitely cook two delicious dishes to thank you two someday." Li Qi chuckled.
When Mrs. Qin heard this, she felt so isolated that she felt like crying without tears.
After the matter was settled, Li Qi didn't say anything more. He sat down and said with a smile: "By the way, what were you talking about just now? I seemed very happy to hear you talking outside."
Bai Qiannuo smiled and said, "I was just telling Sister Hongnu about your Romance of the Three Kingdoms."
"oh?"
Li Qi looked at Ji Hongnu and said, "Hongnu, you also like this story."
Ji Hongnu nodded and said with a hopeful look on his face: "Brother Li, can I go with Sister Bai to Zuixianju to listen to your story?"
Mrs. Qin's heart softened and she said softly: "Hongnu, if you want to go, you can go with me and Qiniang later."
"No. Definitely not."
Li Qi frowned and glanced at Mrs. Qin, saying: "Madam, please don't cause more trouble here. The red slave can't show his face now."
Mrs. Qin was almost driven crazy by Li Qi. She slapped the table and said angrily: "Why can't I do it again? I still want to take her there today."
Why is this lady so angry today?
Li Qi spread his hands and said helplessly: "Madam, can you please be reasonable? You were not like this before."
"Why am I being unreasonable? Do I need your permission if I take the red slave out for a walk?" Mrs. Qin said with an angry look on her face.
"This is necessary." Li Qi said matter-of-factly.
"necessary?"
Mrs. Qin's head was almost filled with smoke as she said, "Li Qi, don't forget, I am the master of the Qin Mansion."
"yes."
Li Qi nodded and said: "But I invited Hong Nu back. Of course she has to listen to me. If you don't allow us to live here, at worst, Hong Nu and I will just move out. Anyway, I'm not short of money now."
.”
"you."
Mrs. Qin had the urge to hit someone for the first time in her life. Her years of cultivation had long gone. She was so angry that she was shaking all over. Her tall breasts were rising and falling, and Li Qi was chanting the meditation mantra in his heart.
Ji Hongnu saw that the two of them were quarreling more and more fiercely, and he was almost anxious, and said: "Madam, Brother Li, please stop quarreling, I won't go."
"No, you have to go today." Mrs. Qin even argued with Li Qi.
Li Qi refused to give in and said: "No, you are not going anywhere now. If you want to listen, I can tell you when I come back in the evening."
"No, how could you, a grown man, break into a woman's room in the middle of the night? How unbecoming is this?" Bai Qiannuo also joined the battle.
Ji Hongnu's big watery eyes looked at the three of them with a blank expression.
Li Qi knew that he had said the wrong thing, and said sarcastically: "What Qiniang said is true, then I can just talk to Hong Nu when I am free during the day."
Bai Qiannuo saw that Li Qi was obedient to him
, coupled with Li Qi's attitude towards Mrs. Qin, when comparing the two, she was naturally very happy, but she did not want Mrs. Qin and Li Qi to quarrel anymore, and said: "Sister Wang, Brother Li is also doing it for the good of the red slave. I
Just follow what he says."
"Qiniang, why are you included?"
As soon as Mrs. Qin turned her head, she suddenly saw Bai Qiannuo giving her a very hidden look, and then took back what she said.
This aroused Li Qi's curiosity and said: "Madam, why don't you continue talking?"
Bai Qiannuo quickly changed the topic and said, "By the way, Brother Li, what story are you going to tell today?"
Li Qi didn't think much and said with a smile: "The Battle of Red Cliff."
