Li Qi saw the four of them arguing even after getting out of the car. He was speechless for a while, rubbing his forehead and having a headache.
"Brother Li, Brother Li, what is that coffee? Can you become an immortal after eating it?"
As soon as Hong Tianjiu got off the carriage, he immediately used his disguise and appeared next to Li Qi. He was so excited that he took Li Qi's arm and asked questions.
Li Qi was so quarreled by him that he grabbed Xiaojiu's arms with all his strength and said excitedly: "Xiaojiu, Xiaojiu, calm down, calm down. If you act like this, others will think that I am crooked." "
Bent?
Hong Tianjiu blinked in confusion.
Chai Cong came over, smiled and nodded as a greeting.
In comparison, Li Qi still likes to be a show-off, at least quiet.
"Go away, go away."
Gao Yanei, who was the last to get out of the car, was full of resentment. As soon as he got up, he pushed Chai Cong and Hong Tianjiu aside, and looked at Li Qi up and down.
What are these idiots planning to do?
Li Qidao: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Gao Yanei hummed and said in an old-fashioned tone: "Li Qi, you have matured a lot, haven't you?"
Li Qi broke into a cold sweat and said, "How do you say this?"
Gao Yanei grinned and said, "Li Qi, think about it, how long did it take for you to take the initiative to treat us to a meal? You, the iron cock, finally got the idea."
Li Qi snorted and said: "Yameni, if I were an iron rooster, I would go to your house to ask for money on New Year's Eve, taking the account book you deposited in our Zuixianju."
Fan Shaobai said in surprise: "What? Your Zuixianju also has this guy's account book?"
Li Qidao: "It's not as thick as your Fan Lou book."
"That's really a shame."
Fan Shaobai patted Yameni's shoulder and said, "You have to keep working hard!"
Gao Yanei said angrily: "Do you think I want to go with you to support you? I am doing it to support Mrs. Song, so don't be sentimental."
"you---."
It's really a headache to have these four together. Li Qi hurriedly said: "Okay, okay. Let's go in first and talk about it." He added in his heart, "Oh, bah, you don't think it's embarrassing, I don't." .
When several people entered the house, Gao Yanei suddenly said: "Isn't Xiaowen here?"
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then realized that this guy was here to show off! Anyway, this is your specialty, if you don't show off, your life in the world is really meaningless. He smiled and said: "Ya Nei. You are really amazing, you finished it a month ahead of schedule, you are worthy of being a love saint!"
Gao Yanei caressed the red flowers on his temples and said proudly: "That's right, I said I wanted them to sleep together before the Chinese New Year, so I will never break my promise."
Chai Cong hummed softly: "You still have the nerve to say it, I almost became you as the groom."
This is definitely a shocking news. Li Qi said with a face full of gossip: "What's going on?"
Chai Cong said: "When Xiaowen got married that day, this guy was very drunk and shouted that he wanted to guide Xiaowen in the bridal chamber. He stayed in the new house and refused to leave."
Fortunately, it was Yanei, he was really fierce! Li Qi was shocked when he heard this.
Gao Yanei said angrily: "You have the nerve to say that I am the benefactor of their couple, what's wrong with this? But you guys, without any sense of loyalty, actually knocked me out, causing my Yanei to suffer the consequences the next day. When I got up, I noticed that my neck was crooked."
Chai Cong said: "At that time, you refused to leave. You couldn't even drag me. You even threw yourself on someone else's bed. Don't you think it's embarrassing enough? Do you want me to go to the Taiwei later to comment?"
"Ahem, Chai Cong, don't forget the rules. You can't sue your parents for anything."
Gao Yanei immediately became depressed.
Sweating! Li Qi rolled his eyes and suddenly said with a smile: "Ya Nei, I have someone here who needs your guidance."
"Guidance for what?"
"Have a baby."
"It's up to you whether you want to help or not." Gao Yaneiyi and Bo Yuntian said: "This is very simple. You tell me who it is and I will help him give birth."
Has this guy evolved again? Fortunately, Xiao Liuzi's name was not mentioned. Li Qi said in horror: "Pretend I didn't say anything." He quickly changed the subject and said: "By the way, Taiwei, Uncle Bajin and the others
Woolen cloth?"
Hong Tianjiu said: "My father and the others will come later."
"What about the fat man?"
"Sanlang originally wanted to come with us, but his father said how could the family be separated, so Sanlang will come with Uncle Zhou."
After a while, Gao Qiu, Hong Bajin, Hong Qigong, Zhou Qing, He Jiushu and others arrived one after another.
They all had their families, and there were about twenty or thirty people, large and small. Fortunately, the Privy Councilor's Palace was big enough, otherwise, it might not have been able to accommodate them.
Afterwards, Zheng Yi and his wife arrived. Although Li Qi did not invite political figures, Zheng Yi's wife was Zhang Run'er, his favorite disciple, so he invited Zheng Yi and his wife.
In addition, Wu Furong, Xiaoyu, Anan, and Gui Jiulang's family also came.
The elderly Cai Jing was the last one to arrive. It can be seen that he is in a very good state of mind. This antique-level foodie can finally taste the delicious food cooked by the Golden Knife Chef King today. He can't be excited or happy no matter how hard you tell him.
.
In the blink of an eye, the Privy Council Mansion was bustling with activity. In the front yard, Li Zhengxi led a group of children, at least thirty of them, running wildly there and playing like crazy. Of course, these children were just here for fun.
Coffee has nothing to do with them.
In the hall, people gathered together in twos and threes to share the joy and gains of the past year. Many people here had no intersection with each other originally, and it was impossible for them to have intersection, but because of Li Qi's arrival, they became intertwined.
, now the government and businessmen are no longer separated, so many people inside are actually business partners.
After a while, Li Qi came to the hall, bowed his hands to everyone, and said with a smile: "Thank you all for coming. Li Qi is honored. Now the coffee is ready. Please follow me to the garden to taste the coffee.
"
Today's theme is definitely coffee, without any hint of politics or business.
The group of people could not wait any longer and immediately followed Li Qi to the garden.
Because since Wang Yao and Li Qi confessed their feelings to each other, Li Qi began to move the garden of the Qin Mansion to his own mansion, because he knew that Wang Yao loved flowers the most, and the garden would have to be moved here sooner or later.
There are flowers blooming in the garden of Qin Mansion all year round. Although it is winter at this time. It is also when the heavy snow has just stopped. The snow has not yet melted, but the thick white snow cannot cover up the fragrance of the flowers. When Li Qi brought
When everyone came outside the garden, they smelled the fragrance of flowers, as if they were in spring.
Entering the garden, you can see at a glance that flowers are blooming everywhere, and they are colorful. It is pleasing to the eye. Against the backdrop of white snow, every flower looks noble, pure, and very beautiful.
Wang Yao suddenly saw her beloved flowers blooming in front of her eyes. She couldn't help but be overjoyed. She couldn't help but glance at Li Qi. She didn't know if she had a tacit understanding. Li Qi happened to look towards her, and their eyes met in the cold air.
.Everything is left unsaid.
Although the main color of the garden is still white, today's theme is dark brown, which is the opposite of white.
But now I can see that the garden has gone through a lot of changes. There are pavilions built in the middle of the garden, connected by corridors. Under the pavilions, there are tables of different shapes, including round tables and square tables.
There are tables for two and four, but whether it is a large table or a small table, it is covered with a colorful tablecloth, which is very bright and complements the flowers outside the pavilion.
In fact, the color of coffee is very monotonous, no matter how fancy coffee is, but Li Qi feels that the taste of coffee is indeed very rich, and monotonous tones should not be used to set off coffee, so he chose to create a colorful environment.
The color reflects not the color of the coffee, but the mood of the person who tastes the coffee.
There are many stoves placed in the corridor, and there is a woman standing next to each stove. This is coffee. Generally, coffee needs to be hot. Brewing it and drinking it now will undoubtedly preserve the taste of the coffee.
At first glance, it is very simple and refreshing. It does not resemble those previous banquets that were very grand, but it also has a different flavor.
"Everyone please."
"please."
Li Qi and a group of guests went inside. Because this was ancient times, men and women could not sit at the same table, but this was not a difficult problem for Li Qi. In fact, when he was remodeling the garden, he thought of how to make it better and more convenient.
To appreciate the scenery inside the garden, he built two restaurants outside the south and north walls of the garden.
There are three floors in total. Although it is built outside the wall, the craftsmen have cleverly built it. There is a balcony on the second and third floors. The balcony on the second floor is slightly smaller than the balcony on the third floor, but they all extend into the garden.
Standing in the garden looks like a loft in the sky. Sitting on it, you can have a panoramic view of the scenery in the garden. If you sit on it and taste delicious food, you can imagine how wonderful it is.
The man naturally sat in the pavilion, while the woman went up to the balcony of the restaurant.
These people are not polite people, except Zheng Yi, of course. Is he a gentleman? Everyone took their friends and found a good seat to sit down, while admiring the exotic flowers and plants in the garden, they talked.
While waiting for the good things to be served, I was so unhappy.
Naturally, Li Qi had Cai Jing, Bai Shizhong, Gao Qiu and others sit in the largest pavilion in the middle.
Cai Jing, who had not been out for a long time, was very happy to see so many friends. He glanced around with his cloudy eyes and said with a smile: "Li Qi, you invited so many people here this time. It seems that you are interested in this coffee."
Full of confidence!”
Li Qi smiled and said: "I have been short of firewood, rice, oil and salt when cooking, but I have never lacked confidence. However, Taishi, this coffee is not suitable for the elderly. You can just taste it later, but don't drink too much. I will always supervise it."
your."
Cai Jing was extremely unhappy and said: "The coffee hasn't been served yet, please don't be such a spoiler, I'm in a bad mood."
Damn it! It’s someone else, I’m too lazy to say it. Li Qi is not an easy talker in this regard, so he said coldly: “It would be a disappointment if you fell into my house.”
Cai Jing was speechless and turned his head away, too lazy to talk to Li Qi.
Li Qi doesn't care whether he wants it or not, this isn't the first time anyway.
Gao Qiu was already used to this, so he just smiled faintly and asked Li Qi: "Li Qi, is this coffee the same red beans that the food envoy ate last time?"
"You can say yes, you can say no."
"how do I say this."
Li Qi explained: "In fact, coffee beans are also a kind of fruit, but the fresh pulp of coffee beans is too sour and bitter to be eaten. Only after processing can the most essence of coffee beans be brought out."
Gao Qiu laughed, and said with a hint of disbelief: "This fruit pulp is not delicious, it tastes good only after being processed. This is really novel."
Cai Jing hummed: "Whether it tastes good or not, you have to eat it to know."
Lao Xiao Lao Xiao, what you said is indeed correct. Li Qi exclaimed: "That's what the Grand Master said."
After a while, I saw the maids coming to each table one by one carrying a tray.
This is really highly anticipated!
“Please enjoy!”
The maids said something very polite, and then placed the cups in front of the guests. Although the coffee was freshly brewed and drank, in order to preserve the temperature of the coffee as much as possible, the cups were covered with lids.
Cai Jing, an old guy, couldn't wait any longer. As soon as the cup was placed firmly, he opened the lid and saw a cup of bronze-like liquid with a little bit of milky white inside.
Suddenly, they smelled a strong aroma emanating from the cup. In the world they knew, apart from wine, there had never been any other drink that could emit such a strong aroma.
Gao Qiu suddenly said: "Why do I smell a milky fragrance?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "The name of this cup of coffee is milk coffee, because I added milk to the coffee. No, it should be said that I added coffee to the milk. It is suitable for sharing in the morning. Oh, this kind of coffee
Be sure to drink it while it’s hot, otherwise the taste will be much worse.”
Even if he didn't say that, Cai Jing and the others didn't have the patience to wait any longer. They picked up the cups in their hands and smelled them first. This rich aroma was so tempting and unique. They had never smelled it before.
.
Fortunately, they were all gentlemen and well-educated, so Li Qi would not have to repeat the rules of drinking coffee, and they would just take a small sip.
But just this small mouthful brought a new experience to their tongues.
Only coffee drinking can have such explosive power. Even a small sip is enough to taste the delicious taste.
Although Cai Jing was the number one foodie in the Song Dynasty, his sense of taste was slowly deteriorating due to his old age. It was difficult for him to accurately taste lighter dishes, but this milk coffee made his eyes light up. This milk
As soon as the coffee enters the mouth, it feels smooth and smooth, making the whole body feel more relaxed, and the atmosphere instantly becomes relaxed. The sweet and fragrant hot milk also transforms the sweet and bitter coffee into a smooth, sweet, luscious and rich one.
Even Cai Jing, who tasted coffee for the first time, could not resist the temptation and praised repeatedly: "Wonderful! This milk coffee is so wonderful! It has a rich and delicate aroma and a full taste. What's even more amazing is that although it has a strong milky aroma,
, but the very special flavor in it is not covered up by the aroma of milk, but makes the aroma of milk more full and delicate, no longer monotonous, and blended just right. Well, having this cup will make your trip worthwhile."
ps: Please vote for me, please recommend me... I want to solemnly explain here that the coffee mentioned here refers to coffee made from ground coffee beans, not instant coffee. Moreover, drinking too much coffee is not good, and if you are young, try not to drink it. Drink. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
