At first, the girls thought they had made a mistake. The pastries they had agreed on were potted plants. But when they heard other people’s voices, they were sure that they had made a mistake. They couldn’t help but rub their eyes, but they were still confused.
Potted plants!
Yes, they were all right, what was presented was a potted plant. +w.
I saw a group of maids walking up the stairs, and each of them was holding a small potted plant in their hands. The potted plants were full of beautiful flowers.
Mrs. Bai said in surprise: "Li---Li Qi, I'm talking about pastries. Why did you get some potted plants? Besides, just put the potted plants down below and we can enjoy them. In fact, there is no need to move them here."
Sweating! Look carefully! Li Qi said: "This is a pastry."
"But this is obviously a potted plant!"
While talking, the girls had all come up to the balcony, and Li Qi stood up in time and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law, Aunt Wang, Aunt Gao, everyone, what you see is the main pastry of our cake house next year.
It’s called Potted Cake, and it’s filled with cake.”
Treating guests to guests is actually an advertisement. There is no other way, but Master Li has the heart of a businessman.
"cake?"
Many ladies exclaimed in surprise, this is completely invisible!
But when the small potted plants were placed in front of them, they realized that they were somewhat different from real potted plants. In fact, if you look carefully, it is not difficult to see.
But I have to say one more thing, this potted cake is really lifelike. From a distance, it looks fake.
The flower pot is really a clay pot, no doubt like an ordinary flower pot, especially the soil, which is no different from the real thing. Even the flowers can be seen to be made of cream. If there were no such flowers, maybe they would really know how to do it.
I thought it was real dirt.
Wang Yao is a flower lover and is very familiar with potted plants. Even she found it incredible and said: "Isn't this really soil?"
As for this flower, it's easy to see. The problem is that the soil is so similar. Whether it's shape or color, it's just like the real thing.
Li Qi smiled and said: "Of course not, how dare I get some dirt for you to eat."
Bai Qiannuo asked curiously: "Then what is this soil made of?"
Li Qidao: "It's coffee."
"Coffee again?"
Su Yun looked at it carefully and said, "But isn't coffee water?"
Li Qi chuckled: "Coffee is not water, coffee is a kind of fruit. The coffee you drink has been brewed. The soil on top is a kind of biscuit I made with coffee, and then I mashed it and put it on top.
, because the color of coffee is very similar to the color of earth, so it looks just like the real thing.”
"I see."
The women nodded one after another, but they were still amazed in their hearts. He was worthy of being the Golden Knife Chef King. He could come up with such an idea, but he actually made the cake look like a real potted plant. Based on this alone, almost no one could compare with him.
Compared.
Feng Yinu asked again: "Are the flowers above made of cream?"
Li Qi nodded and said, "Not bad."
Feng Yinu looked at other people's potted plants and found a very strange phenomenon, that is, the flowers in her pots were different from those of Bai Qiannuo, Wang Yao, Yelu Guyu, and Ji Hongnu, but other than that
Except, the flowers in the other pots were all uniform lilies. I thought to myself that there must be a mystery in it, so I asked: "Then what does this flower represent?"
As soon as he said this, the others seemed to have noticed that Li Qi's wives had different flowers, and since they were all people who knew flowers, they were very curious and looked at Li Qi one after another.
Li Qi smiled slightly and said: "Each flower has its own meaning. Let's talk about your red rose, Yinu. You have a strong personality and a fiery passion. You were full of expectations for love, and you were unswervingly loyal to love. It seems that
They are born for love, and red roses are the embodiment of love. It is undoubtedly the most appropriate thing to give you red roses."
Feng Yinu's face turned bright red when she heard this, and she felt very sweet in her heart. She and Li Qi have been in love until now, but they have also experienced a lot of ups and downs, and they can be said to be vigorous. It is perfect to use red roses, but
She didn't expect Li Qi to say it so directly, so she couldn't help but feel a little shy. She quickly pointed to Ji Hongnu and said, "What does Hongnu's carnation represent?"
This carnation of the Northern Song Dynasty is the carnation of later generations.
Ji Hongnu was relatively shy. He lowered his head and whispered, "Sister Feng, it's all right if you say so. Why bother me?"
Li Qi looked at Ji Hongnu and said with a smile: "Carnation has another meaning in my hometown, which is a symbol of maternal love. Hongnu is the mother of my child and one of the best mothers I have ever seen. She can definitely be called
I have a great mother who cares for her husband and raises her children. She has done everything she can, and she has brought warmth to this family. Wherever she is, there will never be a lack of warmth. I am very grateful for this.
And admiration, of course, but more of love.”
Ji Hongnu was very moved when he heard this, his eyes filled with mist, and he blushed and said, "Brother, I'm not as good as you said."
Li Qi said seriously: "You are much better than what I said."
Feng Yinu smiled and said, "Then what does sister Yelu's plum blossoms mean?"
Li Qi looked at Bone Desire and said with a smile: "Plum blossoms have always been admired by my Central Plains poets, because plum blossoms symbolize the pride of snow and frost, unyieldingness, so plum blossoms are also regarded as the flower of gentlemen, and Bone Desire is the flower that I have seen in my life."
She is the strongest woman who has ever lived. No matter how biting the cold wind is, she is unwilling to give in, even though many men are not as good as her."
This was really a naked compliment, even though Yelu Guxu, who never cared about such things, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Mrs. Bai whispered to Mrs. Wang on the side: "This guy is really racking his brains when he praises his own woman."
Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Who says it's not the case?"
Mrs. Bai suddenly said to Li Qi: "Then what does my daughter's orchid represent?"
"mother."
Bai Qiannuo lightly tapped her foot, but glanced at Li Qi shyly.
Li Qi smiled and said: "Qiniang has always been called the second most talented woman in Tokyo. Her literary talent and knowledge are naturally not to mention. She is tens of millions of times better than me as a husband. Now Qiniang is also an economic envoy, benefiting the people."
, it can be said that he works hard, is respected by the people, and his quality is noble and elegant. A gentleman is nothing more than this, and orchids are also called gentlemen among flowers. I once gave an orchid to Qiniang to express the gentleman among women. "
"I'm not as good as you say."
Although Bai Qiannuo had always liked Li Qi's praises, she still felt very embarrassed when Li Qi praised her in front of so many people, and quickly pointed to Liu Yunxi and said, "What's the explanation for Shi Niang's lotus?
"
Li Qi looked at Liu Yunxi again, and saw that Liu Yunxi was also looking over, his eyes full of expectation. He smiled and said: "I once said a word to describe the lotus to the great scholar Zhou Dunyi. I believe you all know that it means 'emerging from the mud.
"Not stained, clean and not evil", the lotus has always been regarded as steadfast and pure, pure and pure, free and refined. Shiniang has always been called strange Shiniang. What is strange? That is to say, the personality is different from that of the world. Isn't this?
Do you agree with the saying "You can emerge from the mud but remain unstained"? There are selfish people everywhere in this world. There are injustices everywhere, whether it is officialdom or shopping malls, it is extremely dark. As the saying goes, people's hearts are sinister.
But Shiniang always maintains a pure heart, but there are too few pure people, so Shiniang’s purity is not accepted by the world. Therefore, she is called Wei Shiniang, but in my opinion, she is out of mud.
Bu Ran. The word 'weird' represents not a derogatory connotation, but a supreme compliment."
Master Li has such a mouth. He has the final say in all matters, right and wrong. The key is that he does not argue with strong arguments, but quotes from classics. This is very rare.
Many people applauded.
Liu Yunxi was not shy, but overjoyed. As Li Qi said, she had always maintained a pure heart. In her heart, she liked to hear Li Qi praise her, so her face naturally expressed joy, which is what women are best at.
She doesn't know what she means, but she doesn't know how to express it very directly whether she loves or dislikes, likes or dislikes. She doesn't know what is right or wrong, but she never does anything against her will.
Li Qi expressed his praise to his wives one by one, but there was only one person left, and that person was Wang Yao.
Wang Yao and Liu Yunxi were just the opposite. When she heard Li Qi commenting on Bai Qiannuo and the others, she had been very uneasy in her heart. She just hoped that Li Qi would not drag her into the water. This kind of mentality also came from an inferiority complex. Regardless of
After all, she is still a widow, although Yelu Guyu is also the same, but Yelu Guyu is a Khitan woman. Khitan women have always dared to love and hate, and they don't care about this, but the Central Plains women are different. Although before the Southern Song Dynasty, the Central Plains women
Women are not as pedantic as they imagined, and remarriage and divorce are common, but in any case, this is not something worthy of praise, so she is very scared, but in her fear, she is also looking forward to it. If Li Qi can privately
Tell her and she will be very happy.
But her mother didn't think so. Mrs. Wang had always believed that her third daughter was rare in the world. If she hadn't married into the Qin family early, she might have been able to compete with the most talented woman in history. Therefore, she was very concerned about having her.
This daughter has always been deeply proud. Of course, one of the reasons is that Wang Yao completely inherited her beauty, and also inherited Uncle Wang's wisdom. She simply took the essence and discarded the dross. When Li Qi saw her, she
After all the women commented, only his daughter was left, so he said: "What about my daughter?"
The sound is quite loud.
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent. Although the matter between Li Qi and Wang Yao had been widely circulated for a long time, and the rumors had never stopped, they themselves had never admitted it to the outside world, and Wang Yao also talked to her today.
The parents came to Qin's house together, so everyone was just skeptical about it and had no confirmation. But now Mrs. Wang's words can be regarded as betraying them both, and everyone's eyes were filled with surprise.
Looking at Wang Yao, he also noticed that there was a pot of peonies in front of Wang Yao.
This is undoubtedly Sima Zhao's intention, and everyone on the street knows it!
Wang Yao's face was red, almost dripping with water, and her little finger was trembling nervously. If it had been before, she would have stood up and denied it, but now it was a fact, and she just wanted to dig a hole in the ground and get in.
Li Qi glanced at Wang Yao with a smile, and suddenly asked Mrs. Wang: "Aunt Wang, do you know what Sanniang's second favorite is?"
"Second favorite?"
Mrs. Wang was stunned and said: "I only know that my daughter loves flowers the most."
Li Qi clicked his tongue and said, "Yes before, but not now. What your daughter loves most now is ---." As he said that, he coughed lightly and patted his chest.
"Ah---oh, yes, yes."
Mrs. Wang even laughed as she said this. This was the first time she had seen such an unrestrained son-in-law.
She all laughed, not to mention the other women, who covered their lips and laughed.
Why are you laughing? This is what happened! Li Qi muttered in his heart and saw that Wang Yao had almost hid her head under the table. He coughed and said, "Sanniang's second favorite is flowers. I don't know."
Did I make a mistake?"
Mrs. Wang still kept laughing, "You are right."
Li Qi asked again: "Does Aunt Wang know where Sanniang's second favorite place is?"
Mrs. Wang said: "Sanniang's second favorite is flowers. This second favorite place is naturally the garden." At this point, she was very curious and asked: "What about my daughter's favorite place?"
Where is the place?”
Li Qi chuckled, "Of course there is a place for me."
The laughter was even louder, but it was not ridicule, but an envious laughter.
"Too."
Mrs. Wang nodded.
Li Qi added: "Besides that, Sanniang's favorite place to stay is the garden, and her garden is full of strange flowers, each one is very beautiful and delicate, but every time I see her stop in the garden
.Those so-called exotic flowers will be eclipsed, and no one will care about those exotic flowers and grasses anymore. Therefore, Sanniang, the king of flowers, is well-deserved, and Sanniang is also born with the beauty of the country, grace and grace, and grace.
.The rhyme is overwhelming, so I present peonies as a gift."
Mrs. Wang was very satisfied with this explanation, but Mrs. Bai was dissatisfied. She said: "What you mean is that every time I see Sanniang, my daughters and others become overshadowed."
Ri. I've gone too far. As soon as Li Qi's tongue became knotted, he had the urge to scold his mother. This was really a bottomless pit. He hurriedly said: "Mother-in-law, what are you talking about? That's not what I meant. Qunfang here refers to
It’s the flowers in the garden, not including people, Qiniang, Yinu, Hongnu, Bone Desire, Ten Niangs including Sanniang are all unique in my heart, they have equal status, I am the lowest, Qiniang, Hongnu
, you must not give my mother-in-law wrong guidance."
Bai Qiannuo and the others knew Li Qi, so why would they mind, but when they saw Li Qi's busy appearance, they all started to giggle.
Mrs. Bai always enjoyed playing tricks on Li Qi and giggled: "What about the lilies in front of us?"
Li Qi coughed slightly and said: "Lilies herald a hundred years of good marriage. This represents my blessing to you all. As for the specific flowers to send, your husbands have to send them. It would be a bit strange for me to send them.
But don’t worry, our cake shop in Zuixianju will fully launch this potted cake on the Lantern Festival. If your husband gives you this beautiful and delicious potted cake as a gift, it will be very meaningful. I believe you
You will definitely like it very much.”
This last sentence directly eliminates all the sweet words, declarations of love, and affectionate words in the previous words, leaving only advertisements full of benefits.
This is Master Li!
He is always so unexpected. Of course, under any circumstances, he will never forget the principle of a businessman, which is to make money even if he dies.
Mrs. Bai couldn't help laughing when she heard this. She glanced left and right and saw other women expressing envy. It didn't take much to think about it. Once the cake shop launched this kind of potted cake, these women would encourage their husbands to buy it as a gift for themselves. She secretly thought
, this kid is so cunning. After saying so much, I'm afraid this is what he wants to say the most. He whispered: "You succeeded again."
Li Qi touched his nose and said shyly: "Where, where, just to eat."
Mrs. Bai looked at his proud face and suddenly said: "This potted cake is really beautiful. As for whether it is delicious or not, you have to eat it to know."
Li Qi said hehely: "Mother-in-law, please rest assured, my husband-in-law's cooking skills are like gold and are not afraid of fire."
Li Qi certainly has unparalleled confidence in this regard.
The rest of the people had just been concentrating on listening to Li Qi's speech. They seemed to have forgotten that this was not a flower, but a cake. No one in the audience moved their chopsticks. Now, they suddenly realized that after all, this potted plant is the most important thing.
What's attractive is the deliciousness, because this is made by the King of Golden Knife Chefs. They all picked up the small spoons on the side.
But none of them destroyed the flowers made of cream at the beginning. Instead, they scraped a little "soil" and felt a smooth feeling spread to their fingers through the spoon. They saw that there was actually white cream underneath. Since the cream cake,
After it was launched, it immediately became a favorite among women who just wanted to try it.
But as soon as the "earthy" cream entered their mouths, they all frowned. The cream gave them the impression of "sweet", but this cake gave them a bitter feeling, which seemed to be in line with their expectations.
There was something different about it, and even at the beginning, there was a sense of resistance.
However, when they tasted it carefully, they found that the taste of this cake was richer and more varied than the previous cream cakes. It was delicious, smooth, sweet, greasy, soft and textured.
There is a slight change, a hint of coolness, and a refreshing feeling in the mouth. The unique stickiness of the cream covers the lips, tongue, and teeth, making people swallow it slowly and unconsciously. A gentle and sweet feeling flows freely in the mouth, straight into the heart, just like
It feels like honey has been applied to my heart, and I am in a good mood.
A successful dessert will definitely make the person who eats it happy. This is the most wonderful thing about desserts. Of course, everything has two sides. The side effect is that it can easily make people gain weight. Therefore, this also makes women love desserts.
Hate again.
A spoonful.
Two spoons.
.......
The more I tasted it, the more I enjoyed it. The faint bitterness that I was resisting just now has now become very attractive, as if this cake has become more charming because of it.
Sweetness and bitterness are like angels and devils, harmoniously yet conflictingly combined. It feels so wonderful.
However, when they ate the cake below, they felt that the cake was very soft and melted in their mouths. Taking another sip of coffee, the feeling was beyond words.
It’s incredibly delicious!
The women ate so much that they couldn't stop at all, and before they knew it, the flowerpot had reached its bottom.
"Huh? Hong slave, why didn't you eat?"
When Su Yun raised his head still unfinished, he suddenly discovered that Li Qi's wives moved in surprisingly unison, no one moved their chopsticks, and the potted plant was still intact in front of them.
Mrs. Bai and the others also noticed it, but they just smiled and said nothing.
For them, this potted cake is just a beautiful and delicious cake, but for Qiniang and the others, this cake also contains Li Qi's deep love for them. Of course, they want to eat as much as possible
Keep it for a while, and even if you want to eat it, you must hide in your room and eat it slowly. That way, you can calm down and taste Li Qi's love.
But Ji Hongnu was embarrassed to say this, and his cheeks suddenly felt dizzy.
Bai Qiannuo smiled slightly and said: "We were full just now, we will eat this later in the evening."
Feng Yinu and the others also nodded quickly.
This was obviously a cover-up, and the women all understood it, but no one ordered it, because most of them were still envious.
ps: The third update has arrived, please vote for me, please recommend... By the way, part of the content of the next chapter is to pave the way for the next book. This book is nearing the end, and the next book is also coming.
The creation is in progress. If nothing unexpected happens, another story should be developed with Master Li becoming the youngest chef king in later generations. The protagonist is not Master Li, but Master Li will appear in the form of a guest appearance. In fact, this idea is based on the Little Chef
It was born at the same time, but I chose to write the Little Chef first. The current order is that Master Li has changed from the protagonist to the companion performance. If I had written that one first, Master Li would have changed from a supporting character to the protagonist. The order is not fixed. Maybe.
Some people have noticed that I may be the author who introduces the protagonist’s later life the most in time-travel articles. In fact, what I introduce is the background of the next book. I point it out here because I am afraid that some readers may not understand it.
