"Hey, go down, go down, right, right, right here. Slow down and have a sense of rhythm."
"Brother Li, don't keep moving."
"I'm not moving, it's you who are moving."
"Brother Li, do you want it to be shorter?"
"Short, shorter."
"Huh? Madam, what are they doing?"
When a maid passed by the backyard, she saw Li Qi sitting on a chair with Ji Hongnu and Bai Qiannuo surrounding him. She was curious and asked Aunt Chen beside her.
Aunt Chen was also confused and said uncertainly: "I heard Master Li say last time that he wanted to cut his hair. I don't know what that means. Let's leave quickly."
Yesterday, Li Qi had brought back the newly made tooth scissors with teeth from Cai Mansion, and then he couldn't wait to make an appointment with Bai Qiannuo to come and cut his hair this morning.
This long hair has really bothered him for a long time. It is itchy and difficult to wash. He has to get it straightened every day. It feels like he is wearing a hood on his head all day long. It is uncomfortable no matter how uncomfortable it is.
Li Qi first drew a picture of the haircut he wanted to have, with four sides, and the description was very detailed, and then asked Bai Qiannuo to study it. She was not good at hands-on skills, but her brain was good. Ji Hongnu was responsible for helping
He cuts his hair.
Bai Qiannuo guided Ji Hongnu to cut while comparing the paintings.
The two of them worked together flawlessly.
However, if Bai Shizhong knew that Li Qi dared to ask Bai Qiannuo to cut his hair, he would probably fight Li Qi to the death.
As for Mrs. Qin, a woman who sticks to the rules, she didn't even take a look.
Since it was Ji Hongnu's first time to cut her hair, she naturally didn't dare to cut it too fast, and Li Qi didn't dare to rush her. This was a matter of image, so she had to be cautious. Sometimes the three of them would discuss the same place for a long time.
.
As a result, it took more than an hour to cut my hair.
After cutting, Li Qi immediately ran to take a shower. The last hour or so was really painful and itchy.
After washing, Li Qi felt that his whole body felt much more relaxed. He looked left and right in the mirror, and the familiar short hair was back again, and he said excitedly: "Gao Shuai Fu, you bastard is finally back."
"
Li Qi combed his hair, then walked out impatiently, walked around in front of Bai Qiannuo and Ji Hongnu a few times, and said with a coquettish look on his face: "How is it? He's pretty handsome, isn't he?"
Bai Qiannuo smiled and said, "It looks quite impressive."
Ji Hongnu also nodded. She cut the hair. Li Qi was satisfied, so she was naturally happy. As for whether he was handsome or not, she couldn't tell, she just thought it was strange.
Li Qi chuckled and said, "From now on, you two have to help me cut it once a month."
Cut once a month?
Both women were stunned and looked at each other.
At this time, Mrs. Chen suddenly walked over and glanced at Li Qi's hair unconsciously.
"Mom, what do you think of my hairstyle?" Li Qile asked cheerfully.
Aunt Chen was taken aback for a moment, and nodded her head in greeting. But her eyes were full of confusion, and she said again: "Master Li, someone is here from the Grand Master's Mansion."
Taishi Mansion?
Li Qi suddenly slapped his forehead and said: "Damn it, I almost forgot, I have to make lunch for Mrs. Cai today." Then he said to Bai Qiannuo and Ji Hongnu: "Qiniang, Hongnu
, it seems that I can’t make delicious food to reward you today.”
"It's okay, Brother Li, go quickly." Ji Hongnu said hurriedly.
Bai Qiannuo also nodded and said, "Go quickly. If you go late later, Master Cai will have to blame you again."
Li Qi responded twice, and then left the backyard with Aunt Chen.
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Cai Taishi's Mansion.
Cai Jing looked depressed and said to Cai Yong who was standing aside: "Isn't that boy Li Qi here yet?"
Cai Yong nodded and said, "To tell you, Master, Master Li has just arrived and is now in the kitchen making lunch for you, Master."
After hearing this, Cai Jing's expression softened a little, and he still hummed: "This kid is getting more and more outrageous. He has only come here three times in these days. It is really unreasonable."
"Sir, Master Li has been busy preparing for the second master's birthday party recently. I think he is too busy. However, the dishes cooked by other chefs are also made according to his recipes, so there should be no difference."
Cai Jing waved his hand and said: "It's much worse. Don't tell me, every dish this guy cooks is very in line with my taste. The other chefs are also good, but they are not as delicious as his. It's really weird."
But having said that, since the Crab Roe Banquet, my health is indeed much better than before, and it’s all thanks to him.”
Cai Yong smiled and said: "I have a strong body and bones, and now with Master Li's help, I will definitely live a long life."
Cai Jing stroked his beard, smiled, and just opened his mouth when he suddenly heard several "dong dong dong" knocks on the door, and then Cai Sui's voice came, saying: "Is daddy here?"
Cai Jing was stunned and said: "It's Sui'er, come in."
After Cai Sui came in, he saluted Cai Jing.
"Sui'er, why are you here?" Cai Jing asked curiously.
Cai Sui replied: "Oh, it was Master Li who asked me to come. He asked me to try the new dishes he made for the banquet."
“New dishes?”
Cai Jing frowned, with a look of surprise on his face, and asked: "What new dish? How come I don't know about it?"
Cai Sui shook his head and said, "I don't know either."
Cai Jing looked at Cai Yong again, and Cai Yong said hurriedly: "Master Li didn't tell the villain."
"This kid loves to make things mysterious."
Cai Jing shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Then let's wait." Then he turned to Cai Suan and said, "Sui'er, have all your invitations been sent out?"
"Everything has been sent out. Everything is according to daddy's wishes."
At this point, Cai Sui suddenly paused and said, "There was just a little accident."
"What accident?" Cai Jingling asked.
Cai Sui glanced at the maids standing around, and then whispered in Cai Jing's ear.
After hearing this, Cai Jing frowned, pondered for a moment, and said: "Since it was said by a hidden figure,
, then there is a 10% chance that there will be no mistake. Let’s do this. You can ask someone to send invitation letters to the remaining people later.”
Cai Sui was stunned for a moment, then understood. He nodded and said, "Hey, I'll go there later."
Cai Jing hummed, then suddenly frowned and said, "In that case, there must be no mistakes at this banquet, lest people laugh at it."
When Cai Suan heard this, he frowned slightly. He was the boss and left all the matters of the first-year banquet to Li Qi. He said with a guilty conscience: "Don't worry, Master Li should know the importance."
Cai Jing nodded slightly and said, "Well, this guy's work is indeed reassuring."
As soon as he said these words, there was another knock on the door. Cai Jing knew that it was Li Qi without asking. He glanced at the maid next to him. After the maid opened the door, Li Qi and San Duan came.
The maid carrying a plate came in.
The plates are all covered with iron lids.
The four of them saluted Cai Jing and his son.
When Cai Jing saw Li Qi's short hair, he was surprised and said, "Li Qi, how come all your hair has fallen out?"
Lost all of it? Damn it! Old man, what’s wrong with your eyes.
Li Qi said depressedly: "Master, how could I lose my hair at such a young age? I asked someone to cut it for me."
Cai Jing asked in confusion: "Why do you want to cut it?"
Li Qi sighed and said: "I have been so busy these days with the banquet that I didn't even have time to comb my hair, so I simply cut it. This way I can focus on preparing for my grandson's first birthday banquet."
After hearing this, Cai Jing was greatly moved and said, "You have indeed worked hard these days, but don't worry, if you manage this banquet well, I will be richly rewarded."
Really on the road.
Li Qi secretly laughed in his heart, but said: "I, Li Qi, can hold a banquet for the Grand Master's grandson, and I have the blessing of Zuixianju. How dare I ask for a reward?"
"If you do a good job, you will be rewarded. You don't need to say anything."
Cai Jing took another look at Li Qi's new hairstyle, shook his head with a smile, and asked, "Li Qi, what new dishes did you prepare today."
"Oh, the name of this dish is 'steak'." Li Qi replied.
Although beef resources are scarce these days, it is still a very simple matter for Cai Jing to eat beef.
"Steak? Is it beef?" Cai Sui asked curiously.
"Uh... the second master is right, this dish is made of beef." Li Qi smiled, fearing that he would continue to ask, and hurriedly gestured to the two maids behind him.
The two maids immediately placed two plates in front of Cai Jing and his son, then opened the iron cover. Inside they saw a piece of meat ten centimeters square, a small knife, and a small fork.
This is too mundane.
Cai Jing glanced at Li Qi curiously and said, "You are awesome."
"Steak." Li Qi said, holding back a smile.
"Oh, what's so special about your steak?"
"Famous?"
Li Qi was stunned and replied: "It's delicious."
"Delicious? Then I have to try it."
Cai Suan laughed, couldn't wait to hold the little fork, picked up the piece of beef, and was ready to bite.
Go. What does he want to do?
Li Qi hurriedly stopped him and said, "Second Master, isn't this how to eat steak?"
Cai Suan was stunned, put down the beef, and said, "Isn't that how to eat it? How to eat it? You don't give me chopsticks."
Li Qi's facial muscles twitched a few times, and just when he opened his mouth, he suddenly heard Cai Jing say: "Sui'er, you didn't see there is a knife over here. How can you swallow such a large piece of beef? I don't think Li Qi's
It means, let us cut the meat and eat it first."
Smart! After all, he is the number one foodie in the Song Dynasty. Just by looking at it, you can understand that if this old guy is passed down to future generations, he will definitely be a trendy man.
Just as Li Qi was about to praise Cai Jing, he saw Cai Jing taking a knife and going to chop the piece of beef. With a few bangs, Cai Jing said depressedly: "Li Qi, why can't you cut the beef?"
Day! Are you cutting it? You are obviously chopping the bones.
Li Qideng broke into a cold sweat and said sarcastically: "Master, what you are doing is wrong. How about this, I will demonstrate it to you first." As he said that, he wanted to hit the maid who was still carrying the tray.
gesture.
The maid immediately put down the tray and took out a plate of steak.
In fact, Li Qi had long expected that Cai Jing and his son might not be very good at using knives and forks, so he specially made an extra piece just to demonstrate to Cai Jing and his son.
Li Qi sat opposite Cai Jing, straightened his posture, holding a knife in his right hand and a fork in his left hand. He gestured in front of Cai Jing and his son, gesturing for them to follow him.
Cai Jing and his son also followed Li Qi's example in a decent manner.
Then Li Qi fixed a corner of the steak with a fork, and slowly cut it with a knife in his right hand. His eyes were fixed on the hands of Cai Jing and Cai Sui. When he saw Cai Sui cutting directly into the middle, he hurriedly said: "Second Master, cut less.
Just like me."
Cai Sui asked in surprise: "Why is this?"
Li Qi said sarcastically: "Uh... this is just for convenience of entrance."
Cai Sui nodded and said, "That's it."
Then Li Qi explained some details clearly, and then they followed him and did it again.
Cai Jing thought it was too troublesome to eat like this at first, but after he learned it, he found it quite interesting. He watched Li Qi cook it and learned to cook it. After a while, he cut off a small piece of beef and imitated Li Qi.
Qi put the meat on the fork into his mouth. As soon as he chewed it, his eyes shone brightly. Before he could speak, he heard Cai Sui praise: "It's delicious. This steak is so delicious. It's even better than mutton."
some."
Huh! I'll get you a mutton chop some other time, and you'll probably have to say that the mutton chop is delicious.
Li Qi secretly laughed in his heart. He made this steak today just to teach Cai Jing and his son how to use this knife and fork, so that when the time came, neither master would know how to use it. That would not make people laugh.
, and from today on, this steak can no longer be called Western food, it should be called Chinese food.
Cai Jing also nodded and said: "Yes. This steak looks ordinary. It turns out that the gravy and meat flavor are all in it, and the taste is also very delicious. By the way, how do you make this steak?"
Li Qi answered while cutting it: "I first marinated the beef with some ingredients such as minced onion, ginger, cooking wine, and honey, and then fried it."
Cai Jing saw that Li Qi was talking to him while doing everything, and his behavior was extremely elegant and full of style, so he followed suit. While cutting, he nodded and said, "Are you preparing this steak for the banquet too?"
As soon as he said this, he proudly picked up a piece of beef and put it into his mouth. He looked so satisfied!
Li Qi nodded and said: "Yes, but this is just one of the dishes."
Cai Suan also asked while cutting: "Master Li, there are only four days left before my son's first birthday party. How are you preparing for it?"
"Everything is ready. We can just rehearse the day after tomorrow."
"dress rehearsal?"
Li Qi explained: "Oh, the meaning of rehearsal is to let those maids adapt to the venue, practice according to the process, and try to ensure that there are no mistakes at the banquet that day."
Upon hearing this, Cai Suan nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, it should be so, it should be so!"
Just as he finished speaking, a soft "ding" sound was heard.
Cai Suan lowered his head and saw that he had unknowingly wiped out all the steak on the plate. This amount of meat was not satisfying at all. He coughed lightly and said, "Master Li, ask someone to bring me another piece."
Here comes the steak."
Li Qi was stunned and said: "I'm sorry, I only prepared so much?"
Cai Sui said displeased: "Why is this? Is this the only beef in the house?"
"Oh, no."
Li Qi shook his head and said truthfully: "Because it is not advisable for the Grand Master to eat too much, I only prepared this amount."
This kid is still trying to prevent me from stealing it? When Cai Jing heard this, he immediately glared at Li Qi. He was still thinking about whether Li Qi would agree to it if he asked Li Qi to bring another piece of steak. It's okay now.
He completely eliminated this idea.
Li Qi lowered his head and pretended not to see it.
Cai Sui also understood what Li Qi meant, nodded and said: "Well, I'm not very good at using the knife and fork. Come to my courtyard later and explain it to me in detail."
Hypocritical. How hypocritical. You are not very good at using it? md, you are the fastest one. I think you are more proficient than me.
Li Qi and Cai Jing both despised Cai Sui's intentions.
