Chapter 189 Touched the wrong person (two in one chapter)
During this period, Cai Minde, together with more than 20 restaurants, brought the meat market and even the entire restaurant industry into a state of chaos. People seemed to have forgotten the existence of Pig Killing Alley.
Although Zuixianju has Fan Lou's help, life is not easy for both families. After all, mutton and pork are hot-selling items. Together, they account for at least 30% of the turnover. In other words, Zuixianju and Fan Lou
This month, the turnover has dropped by 30 to 40%, which is not a small sum.
However, things have changed dramatically today.
Early in the morning, Fan Lou's eight footwear shops in Xicheng opened at the same time with great fanfare, but what is puzzling is why Fan Lou's branches have the signboard of Zui Xianju.
This aroused everyone's curiosity, and they all came forward to ask. They didn't know if they didn't ask, and they still didn't know if they asked. However, the word "chain store" soon spread widely.
Laymen don't know, but what about insiders? They are all good at business, so why don't they understand the meaning of this chain store? No, restaurants and footwear shops of all sizes have sent people to Xicheng to find out.
But I saw shiny red fat ducks hanging in the windows. Their bare appearance was enough to attract people. As soon as the three roast duck restaurants opened, people flocked in, and the inside was so packed that it was now as big as a chicken butt.
Hard to find!
This is nothing, but the situation in the five Hanbaojiu shops is even more exaggerated. The inside of the house is completely dark, and all the places where people can sit outside are already full of people. Everyone has two big Hanbao in their hands, and they are eating with gusto.
These eight foot shops all adopted a buffet style. During the first-year banquet, Li Qi's buffet became famous, but everyone also listened to it. They didn't know exactly what it was like, but today they
Finally, I had a deep understanding of this buffet, and the buffet culture soon swept the entire Bianjing.
The Lion House, surrounded by these eight foot shops, was deserted. Although the street in front of the door was full of people, no one came to the door. When the shopkeeper of the Lion House saw the crowds of people, he felt a little confused.
A kind of envy and jealousy, but more importantly, anxiety. Although they have been selling meat desperately these days, they still have a large amount of pork and mutton in their hands. Moreover, the contracts he signed with the butchers also
It will take more than twenty days to expire. This meat cannot be stored for a long time. If it cannot be sold in time, it will all be lost. This loss is not something that his Lion House can afford.
In a small alley next to the Lion Tower, there was a sedan parked. In addition to the bearers, there was also a handsome man standing around the sedan. This man was Fan Shaobai.
Seeing such a scene, he felt relieved. He said to the sedan: "Dad, Master Li is really powerful. I think this move is enough for Cai Minde."
Fan Zheng's laughter came from inside. "Shaobai, you still underestimate Master Li. This is just the beginning. Just wait and see. I'm afraid things will be difficult for Mr. Cai in the future."
Of course, it is not just the Lion House that is affected, other restaurants and foot shops are also affected to some extent, and even Zuixianju is no exception.
And the instigator of all this was standing at the counter, chatting with Wu Furong.
"Master Li, why don't you go to Xicheng to have a look?" Wu Furong asked curiously, looking at Li Qi who looked bored.
Li Qi lay on the counter, flipping through the account book, and replied calmly: "What's so interesting about this? It's fine as long as Xiaoyu and the others are there. It doesn't matter if I go or not."
Because the buffet culture must first be reflected by the waiters. Although the bartender is provided by Fan Lou, Li Qi still arranged for Xiaoyu and several other female bartenders who had participated in the first-year banquet to help. Of course, they were not there to pour tea and water. , that was a senior executive, and Fan Lou also paid him.
At this time, a young man dressed as a scholar rushed in hurriedly and shouted to the guests in a private seat on the second floor: "Brother Ji Chun, what are you doing here? Your father asked me to ask you to come with me." If you want to buy roast duck in Xicheng, hurry up or you won’t even have the duck feathers anymore.”
The person above hurriedly responded: "Hey, wait for me, I'll come down now."
Then the two of them hurriedly walked out.
Wu Furong glanced at the door, sighed, and said in confusion: "Master Li, you are calling yourself a cocoon. This is already the third wave of guests being dragged to the West City."
Li Qi smiled and waved: "It's okay, we should be happy when they go to sell roast duck. Anyway, we cooperate with Fan Lou and we get the big share, which means the more we sell, the more we make. But It’s just a different approach.”
Wu Furong said depressedly: "But at least you can get some roast duck and Hanbao for our store."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "Uncle Wu, you don't know something. Nowadays, the amount of roast duck is already tight enough. Xicheng doesn't even have enough. Just make do with it. After a while, I will bring the roast duck to Zui." Come to Xianju, as for the Hanbao, they are just some fast food, we are taking the high-end route, so don’t forget it.”
Although Wu Furong still didn't understand, but Li Qidu said this, he naturally couldn't say much, so he nodded and said: "Okay, I'll just listen to you."
"Brother Li, Brother Li, haha."
At this moment, Hong Tianjiu's terrifying laughter suddenly came from outside.
Japan. It’s rare for me to have a quiet moment. Can you come back later?
Li Qi turned around and saw Hong Tianjiu, Zhou Hua, and Xu Fei walking in swaggeringly. Zhou Hua and Xu Fei each held a roast duck leg, and Hong Tianjiu was even more exaggerated. He was holding half a roast duck and a giant Hanbao in his left hand. The three of them ate with their mouths full of oil.
This image is simply a living sign.
"Bartender, pay."
"Bill, please"
Immediately, several tables of guests rushed out of the door and headed straight to the West City.
Damn it! Is it that exaggerated?
Li Qi was dumbfounded when he saw the guests' impatient expressions.
Hong Tianjiu saw the envious eyes of the other guests and his face was full of pride. He came to the counter and smiled at Li Qi: "Brother Li, I heard that you made this roast duck and these Hanbao."
Li Qi was slightly startled and said, "Can anyone else besides me make such delicious food?"
"That's right, even the emperor praised Master Li's cooking skills." Zhou Hua said vaguely while biting the duck leg.
Hong Tianjiu smiled and nodded, filling his mouth with a mouthful of Hanbao and a mouthful of duck meat.
"Xiaojiu, please eat slowly, no one will compete with you."
Li Qi saw Hong Tianjiu devouring his food and said helplessly.
"Uh huh."
Hong Tianjiu nodded and added another mouthful of duck meat.
Yeah. Just pretend I didn’t say that.
, choke you to death.
Li Qi rolled his eyes at him angrily.
A grunt.
Hong Tianjiu finally swallowed the food in his mouth and hurriedly said to Li Qi: "Brother Li, your roast duck paired with this Hanbao is a masterpiece. It's so delicious."
Li Qiqian laughed a few times and didn't answer.
Hong Tianjiu said again: "By the way, Brother Li, when I went to Xicheng to buy roast duck, I also stopped by our bar. Wow, it's so interesting. Everything in it is very interesting. I really can't wait to see it.
The bar opens tomorrow
"It's a pity that my brother can't come out, otherwise he could be happy with me."
"elder brother?"
Li Qi frowned and said, "You mean Gao Yanei?"
"Yes."
"What do you mean when you say Gao Yameni is not allowed to come out?" Li Qi asked curiously.
Hong Tianjiu sighed and said: "I don't know the specifics. Anyway, it was Captain Gao who kept his brother at home and didn't allow him to go out. I stayed with him all day yesterday. It was really boring.
."
That's right. Gao Yanei hasn't been here since the first-year banquet. Is this because I can't tell you wrongly. Gao Qiu must be worried about Wang Fu, so he won't let Gao Yanei go out for the time being, fearing that he will go to Zuixianju again.
run.
Thinking of this, Li Qi suddenly thought of another person. That was Bai Qiannuo. Like Qiniang and Gao Yanei, he hadn't seen anyone since the first birthday party. He was so busy these days that he didn't see anyone.
Noticed. Now that I think about it, I feel that this matter is really strange. Could it be that Qiniang was also imprisoned by that old guy Bai Shizhong?
Yes, with Qiniang's character, if he knew that I had offended Wang Fu, he would definitely find me. It seems that she is also under house arrest. How dare you, Bai Shizhong, to play this trick on your future son-in-law, hum.
If you don't let Qiniang out, I won't come to look for you. Who is afraid of whom? This is what my legs are for.
"Brother Li, Brother Li."
Hong Tianjiu saw that Li Qi was silent and his face was uncertain, so he whispered a few words.
Li Qi was slightly startled and said, "What's the matter?"
Hong Tianjiu chuckled and said: "I heard from my brother yesterday that you made Wang Yanei's legs fall to the sky that day. It was so happy. If I had known that I would have begged you to take me with you."
Pleasurable? I think it’s painful.
Li Qi hurriedly shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, don't listen to Gao Yamen's inner chaos."
Hong Tianjiu glanced at him sideways and said dissatisfiedly: "Oh, Brother Li, don't worry, we and Wang Yanei have never been able to get along. If you punish him, it's too late for us to be happy. Just tell us."
chant."
"Didn't Gao Yanei tell you?"
"Brother said he didn't pay attention at the time, and he didn't know what was going on?" Hong Tianjiu said.
Zhou Hua and Xu Fei also nodded vigorously.
"Okay, this is very simple. Wang Yanei didn't pay attention and fell down. I'm done." Li Qi said very simply.
It was really simple enough. Hong Tianjiu and the others were stunned for a moment, and then they all showed disappointed expressions.
"Brother Li, let's go hunting in the eastern suburbs tomorrow, will you go?" Hong Tianjiu asked with anticipation.
Before Li Qi could speak, Zhou Hua continued: "Yes, it's not interesting if you stay in the store all the time. Why don't you come with us tomorrow to have fun."
That’s right, I should relax and take it easy. Hunting? Yes, it’s a bit interesting. I’ve never tried it in my life.
Li Qi was a little excited and asked: "When will you go?"
"Of course in the morning." Hong Tianjiu replied.
There happened to be nothing in the morning. Li Qi nodded, "Okay, you can come to Qin Mansion and call me tomorrow."
"Hey, it's settled."
"Um."
On a dark, windy night, it is the time to steal fragrance.
At this time, two trembling black figures were hiding under a corner of the White Mansion.
"Hey, Master Li, it's very cold today. What are you doing here?"
"Didn't I tell you before, I'm here to find someone. Damn it, who knew the sun would still be shining during the day, but then the north wind would blow at night. It's so stupid."
These two people are Li Qi and Ma Qiao.
"Find someone?"
Ma Qiao said depressedly: "You should go through the front door when looking for someone. Why are you running into someone's corner?"
"If I can go through the front door, what do I need you to do?"
Li Qi glared at him angrily, pointed at two three-meter-high walls and said, "Hey, can you fly over?"
"I can't fly."
Ma Qiao shook his head and said, "But it shouldn't be a problem to jump over."
Li Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Then you will jump and show me?"
Ma Qiao wondered: "That's not good, this is someone else's house."
Li Qi said in a good voice: "Don't worry, if anything happens, I will bear it alone."
"Then you can't tell my junior sister."
"I swear, I will never say a word to anyone."
Li Qi raised three fingers and said, even if Ma Qiao didn't remind him, he wouldn't dare to talk about this kind of thing.
"Okay, look at me."
As soon as he finished speaking, two more thumps were heard, and no one was seen on Maqiao.
Go ahead, you're gone.
Because Ma Qiao climbed over the wall too fast, Li Qi couldn't react and shouted softly: "Ma Qiao, have you gone in?"
Soon there was a "hmm" from the other side of the wall.
If you say more words, you will die.
Li Qi asked again: "How is the situation inside?"
"Not sure."
"Huh? What does that mean?"
"It's too dark. You can't see clearly."
That means no one.
Li Qi smiled and said, "Then come out quickly."
Ma Qiao said angrily: "You let me in, why did you let me out again? You are just entertaining me."
"How can I have time to entertain you? But if you go in, you can use it for sex. I haven't gone in yet." Li Qi cursed in a low voice.
"Then just come in!"
"If I can break in, why would I need an expert like you to do it?"
Kick, bang.
Suddenly, Ma Qiao fell from the sky and appeared next to Li Qi with a swish sound. He was so frightened that Li Qi took two steps back. He calmed down and said hurriedly: "A master is indeed a master. He will be in trouble later."
is you."
Ma Qiao said calmly: "No problem."
After a while, Ma Qiao raised his head and looked at Li Qi, who was standing on his shoulder. He said depressedly: "Master Li, it seems that anyone can do this kind of thing, why do you have to find me, a master, to do it?"
"If a master does it, I will stand taller."
Li Qi chuckled and stepped on his shoulder. He quickly turned over and came to the Bai Mansion. He was secretly proud of himself, "Bai Shizhong, Bai Shizhong, if you don't let your daughter come out, I won't give it away myself."
Come to your door, hehe.
Naturally, he came here today to find Bai Qiannuo and ask about the situation.
Then, he called Ma Qiao in. With him by his side, the safety factor was greatly increased!
Jin did come in, but there was still a big problem that hadn't been solved, that is, he didn't know where Bai Qiannuo's boudoir was.
I'm really not a good boyfriend.
Li Qi secretly despised himself and took Ma Qiao for a wander around the Bai Mansion.
Fortunately, Ma Qiao was smart enough. If Li Qi came alone, he would have been discovered by the passing servants and maids.
After wandering around for nearly half an hour, the two of them squatted under a corner, breathing heavily.
"Master Li, do you know where Qiniang's room is?"
"It should be around here."
Ma Qiao looked around, huh? This place seems similar! It seemed that he had been here just now. He took a closer look, took a sharp breath of air, and said in surprise: "Master Li, isn't this the place where we climbed over the wall just now?
What?"
Li Qi was stunned, looked around, scratched his head, looked embarrassed, rolled his eyes and said, "By the way, maybe she will be there."
"where?"
"Just come with me."
Li Qi led Ma Qiao around seven times and eight times until they came to the door of a small courtyard.
This courtyard is the small garden where Li Qi and Bai Qiannuo met twice.
Li Qi first made a silent gesture like Ma Qiao, and then the two of them walked over with cat steps. They stood outside the door with an uneasy feeling and took a look inside. He was immediately happy and saw the man in the courtyard.
There is a dark figure standing in the small pavilion, looking up at the bright moon. Judging from the figure, it should be a woman.
Li Qi once heard Feng Feng say that this yard has not received
With Bai Qiannuo's permission, no one is allowed to enter without permission.
It was Bai Qiannuo, so there was definitely nothing wrong with it.
Li Qi whispered in Ma Qiao's ear: "You can find a place to hide, and I'll be there when I go. Remember not to let anyone discover you."
md. This is a typical burning of bridges!
Ma Qiao gave Li Qi a contemptuous look, and then left with a lonely look in his eyes.
Li Qi walked over quietly, preparing to surprise Bai Qiannuo.
Obediently, this little girl's figure is getting plumper and rounder.
An unknown fire ignited in Li Qi's heart, and he silently came behind the woman, without the woman noticing at all.
Li Qi snickered twice in his heart, and suddenly stretched out his hands to cover the woman's eyes, pretending to be solemn and said: "Guess who I am."
"Ah! Someone's coming, there's a thief!"
The woman trembled with fright and suddenly shouted.
Wow!
Li Qi was also startled, and quickly covered her mouth, hugged her waist with one hand, and whispered in her ear: "It's me, Qiniang." Hey, that's not right, why is she so plump!
"Uh-huh!"
The woman was still struggling.
Li Qi hugged her forcefully. Turning her head around, he saw under the moonlight that this woman was not Bai Qiannuo at all, but a noble lady whose age could not be discerned. She had an oval face, pink and phoenix eyes, a rosy complexion, and a pair of bright
His eyes looked at Li Qi with a hint of fear.
md. I touched the wrong person. I wouldn't carry it like this.
Li Qideng suddenly broke out in a sweat and hurriedly whispered: "Don't worry, I'm not a thief. I won't harm you. Just don't scream. I will let you go. If you agree, just nod."
The woman was stunned for a moment and nodded.
When Li Qi saw that she agreed, he let go of his hand. Unexpectedly, as soon as his hand left her mouth, she cried out, "Yes, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no'---no." As soon as the hand left her mouth, he let go.
Li Qi was startled, and quickly covered his mouth again, saying: "You are too trustworthy. You promised not to scream, but you still scream. I told you I'm not a thief, so be it, I'll do it again
You have one chance, if you scream again, I can only knock you out." I thought to myself, could I knock her out?
Then he slowly let go of his hand.
The woman didn't scream anymore this time, her eyebrows were raised, her eyes were blazing, and she said angrily: "Let go of your dirty hands."
Only then did Li Qi remember the hand on her waist, quickly let go, and apologized: "Sister, this is really just a misunderstanding. I'm really not a bad person."
The woman also saw that Li Qi had no ill intentions. She looked him up and down and said in a deep voice, "Who is your sister? Who are you? What are your intentions in sneaking into the White House?"
"Who am I? That's a great question."
Li Qi laughed twice and retreated quietly, ready to run away at any moment.
The woman seemed to have an insight into Li Qi's thoughts. She waved her sleeves and said coldly: "If you don't explain clearly today, you will never leave here."
Damn it, if I had known this, I shouldn't have opened the bridge just now.
Li Qi immediately stopped and said with a smile: "Actually, I am a new servant of Bai Mansion. I came here because I got lost."
The woman sneered: "Do you think I would believe such lies?"
It's true that some servant would cover someone else's eyes when he got lost.
"I'm sorry, I just saw that the atmosphere was tense and wanted to tell a joke to ease it."
Li Qi chuckled and said, "This is my sister."
"If you call me sister again, I won't let you go." The woman shouted.
"Yes, yes, this aunt."
"Um."
The woman's eyes widened again.
Li Qi was also a little unhappy, and simply said directly: "To be honest with you, I came here to find someone. I just mistakenly thought you were her, and that's why I ended up like this."
The woman frowned, glanced at Li Qi, and said, "You are here to see Qiniang."
"Eh? Do you know Qiniang?" Li Qi asked in surprise.
The woman nodded.
"That's good. Qiniang and I are also friends, so we are also friends. Since we are friends, I think we can just let these unpleasant things go. I have something to do first."
"Try taking another step." The woman said solemnly.
Li Qi turned around and said angrily: "Hey, can you please be reasonable? I have already told you about this misunderstanding and I have proved it with my actions. What else do you want? I might as well tell you the truth.
Apart from the two of us, you don't even have a figure here. Don't force me, or we'll die holding each other together."
The woman glanced at him sideways, without any fear, and asked: "You are a man, why do you want to come to Qiniang in the middle of the night?"
"What does this have to do with the middle of the night? I don't have time during the day, so I have to come to her at night." Li Qi said angrily.
The woman asked again: "Who let you in?"
"This stick of incense costs thousands of sticks, how can you remember the name of that servant?" Li Qi said with a cold sweat.
"Don't beat me around the bush here."
The woman asked: "I'm asking who allowed you to come in."
"Qiniang!" Li Qi did not dare to say that Bai Shizhong allowed him to come in.
"Nonsense, Qiniang was with me just now. If she allowed you to come in, why didn't I know?"
"What? Qiniang was with you just now?"
Li Qi felt happy and said, "Then where is she going now?"
The woman was silent for a while, then frowned at him and said coldly: "Are you Li Qi from Zuixianju?"
"Do you know me?" Li Qi said subconsciously.
"More than just acquaintance. You are so brave, you dare to break into the White House at night." The woman said angrily.
Li Qi looked at the age of this woman and wondered if she was Qiniang's sister. He nodded and said, "Yes, I am Li Qi. Who are you?"
The woman said word by word: "I am Qiniang's mother."
