After several days in a row, Li Qi was like a tireless horse and mule, running around day and night. There was not even a phone or a taxi here, so he had to rely on his own hands and feet to do anything.
It's so humane.
After getting everything ready that night, Li Qi climbed into bed early. He was really too tired.
Because in this era, the air is fresh and there is no annoying horn sound, so it is naturally comfortable to sleep.
At dawn, Li Qi got up, briefly freshened up, then went to the door of Wu Xiaoliu's room, knocked on the door, and found that there was no one inside. He smiled slightly, this little guy was really good at doing things.
It's reassuring, he is indeed a good errand boy.
Li Qi came alone to a noodle stall next to Zuixianju and sat down. The owner of this stall was an aunt named Cao, and she was also a widow. She was usually hospitable and her craftsmanship was quite good.
Li Qi also came here once or twice. He ordered two big steamed buns and a bowl of tofu. He looked at the passers-by on the road and ate this natural green food calmly. Thinking of Uncle Wu's expression at this time, he felt...
funny.
"This little brother, are you the guy from Zuixianju?"
Just when Li Qi was lost in thought, a low voice suddenly sounded from beside him. He was slightly startled, turned his head and saw that it was Aunt Cao, with a look of surprise on her face. She nodded and asked, "Auntie, are you okay?"
"
Aunt Cao asked with a face full of gossip: "I heard that your Zuixianju is going to be sold to Jade Pavilion across the street. Is it true?"
Li Qi was slightly startled and asked with a smile: "Who did you listen to?"
Aunt Cao waved her hand down and said carelessly: "Hey, the whole street is talking about this now. Even the blind old woman at the end of the street knows about it." She winked at Li Qi as she said that.
I want you to stop pretending in front of me.
Sweat! Is it such an exaggeration?
Li Qi really didn't know about this, but he was very curious as to why Aunt Cao cared so much about Zuixianju, and asked with interest: "Then do you hope it will be sold or not?"
Aunt Cao sighed and said: "To tell you the truth, I have been working here for several years. When Zuixianju's business was good in the past, I naturally followed suit, but in the past two years, Zuixianju's
The business is getting worse day by day, alas! It would be best if we could not sell it, but it is not an option if we continue like this, don’t you think?"
Aunt Cao was going around all over the place, and Li Qi finally understood that they, the stall owners, didn't rely entirely on the large restaurants nearby to attract popularity.
It has closed down, so they naturally hope that Feicui Xuan can take over this store. With the current development momentum of Feicui Xuan, this place will not be crowded in the future, so they will naturally follow the trend. They said with a smile: "Then you still hope to sell it."
Aunt Cao nodded awkwardly and asked, "Is your boss planning to sell the store to Jade Xuan?"
Just as Li Qi was about to answer, he suddenly saw uncle and nephew Wu Furong walking towards this side in a distance. He quickly stood up and shouted: "Uncle Wu, Liuzi, I'm here."
After inviting the uncle and nephew to sit down, Li Qixiao asked: "You haven't had breakfast yet, come on, let's eat together. The steamed buns here are pretty good."
"Brother Li, I've eaten it a long time ago." Wu Xiaoliu said with a smile.
"I've eaten too." Wu Furong waved his hand. How could he still have the appetite for breakfast now? He hurriedly asked Li Qi: "Little brother, Liu Zi just told me that you————."
Halfway through his words, Wu Furong suddenly glanced at Aunt Cao, who was standing aside, eavesdropping, and said, "Aunt Cao, if you don't go and greet the guests, why are you standing here?"
Aunt Cao smiled and turned around reluctantly and left.
After Aunt Cao left, Wu Furong leaned his head over and asked in a low voice: "Little brother, Liu Zi just told me that you have a friend who is planning to buy this Zuixianju. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Of course, how dare I joke about such a thing."
"Then what does that friend of yours do?"
"Oh, my friend used to open a restaurant in Shangjing. Now, as you know, Jin and Liao are at war. Naturally, life for those businessmen is not easy, so he wants to move his business to Bianjing. Come." Li Qi said slowly.
Before going to Beijing, it was the capital of the Liao Kingdom, and those who did business there were naturally very wealthy.
Wu Furong's face lit up and he asked: "How much is he willing to pay?"
Li Qi answered vaguely: "More than that member Cai."
In fact, the last thing Wu Furong wanted was to sell Zuixianju to that member Cai. Now that he heard that someone wanted to buy Zuixianju, and the price was more than Boss Cai paid, how could he not be so excited that he grabbed Li Qi's hand? He held up his hand and said: "Little brother, quickly, take me to see your friend."
"No hurry, Uncle Wu, don't be anxious yet." Li Qi took his hand back quietly and said seriously: "My friend doesn't want to come forward yet, but he has entrusted all this matter to me. only---."
"Just what?" Wu Furong's face tightened and he asked hurriedly.
Li Qi looked embarrassed and said: "It's just that he repeatedly told me that this matter must be discussed with Mrs. Qin. If not, he would rather not do this business."
Wu Furong was startled for a moment, glanced at Li Qi suspiciously, and said: "Little brother, you have been in Zuixianju for so many days, and you should know that Madam rarely asks about the affairs of Zuixianju. These matters have always been left to the old man. I'm taking care of it, so you can talk to me too."
Li Qi smiled slightly and said: "Uncle Wu, of course I believe you, but the problem is that I am also entrusted by others. To be offensive, after all, you are also working for others. You want to buy Zuixianju, which is terrible. It’s not a small amount of money. If you can’t even meet the other party’s owner, if you were my friend, would you feel relieved?”
"What you said makes sense." Wu Furong nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he frowned and said, "If you want to see Madam, I can help you arrange it, but I also have a condition."
"If you want to meet my friend first, I'm sorry, but I can't agree to it yet, but I can assure you that after meeting my wife, I will naturally take you to see him. You know, I don't have that much money on me now, so I have to leave it to him to pay." Li Qi spread his hands and said with a smile.
Li Qi's guess was correct. Wu Furong did want to meet Li Qi's friend first. If it was true, he would naturally agree to take Li Qi to see Mrs. Qin. Now listening to Li Qi's words, Wu Furong's His face became more embarrassed, he squinted his eyes and became thoughtful.
Li Qi was not in a hurry and continued to nibble on the big steamed bun. Wu Xiaoliu on the side, with his head lowered and a bad smile on his face, would wink at Li Qi from time to time, as if he knew something, but Li Qi pretended not to notice.
.
After a while, Wu Furong sighed and said, "Okay, I promise you. When do you plan to go?" Now as long as there is a chance, he doesn't want to miss it.
"The sooner the better, preferably now." Li Qi smiled.
Wu Furong was silent for a while and said, "Okay, I'll take you there now!" He also wanted to get rid of this worry earlier.
"Then I'll trouble you, uncle." Li Qi finished the last sip of porridge, stood up, threw a few coins to Aunt Cao, and said with a smile: "Auntie, if you want your business to prosper, I can give you one.
trick."
Business is booming? Aunt Cao's eyes flashed and she asked: "What's the trick?"
"It's very simple. You just need to wait for another five days. Then you just need to add a few more tables and prepare more tea. You will make more than double what you are making now." After Li Qi finished speaking, he laughed.
Without waiting for Mrs. Cao to react, she left with Wu Furong and his nephew.
"Wait for five more days? What day will that be?"
Aunt Cao scratched her head and looked at Li Qi's retreating figure with a puzzled face.
Li Qi followed Wu Furong through a few streets and saw a tall mansion from a distance. The wall was about three meters high and one meter wide. Two thick stone lions stood in front of the door. Two thick red lacquer doors
It was tightly closed, and there was a huge plaque on the door, Qin Mansion.
Li Qi looked up at the mansion and sighed softly. In his eyes, this mansion was like a prison that only time could destroy.
