Chapter 223 As soon as the golden plaque comes out, who will compete with each other
After coming out of Master Li's attic, it was already midnight. Li Qi had been thinking about how to help Master Li adjust her mood and make her feel better. However, after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any good way.
The key point is that Master Li is not his woman. If it were Bai Qiannuo, then he could make that silly girl happy with just one sentence.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Qin Mansion, he saw Chen Anan sitting alone on the steps and dozing off. He looked stunned, walked up and shouted: "Anan, Anan."
Chen Anan was startled, and when he saw it was Li Qi, he stood up quickly and said, "Brother Li, you are finally back."
Sweat! Did you think I would spend the night there? Aren't you cursing me?
"I didn't ask you to wait for me here." Li Qi rolled his eyes.
Chen Anan chuckled: "Actually, Xiaoyu came to see you for something, but I saw that she was tired, so I asked her to go in and have a rest."
Xiaoyu?
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then understood, nodded and smiled: "Oh, I understand, your boy's method of picking up girls is much better than Liu Zi's shameless way."
Chen Anan smiled and nodded, seeming to agree with Li Qi's statement.
Li Qi shook his head helplessly and said, "Go in."
When they came to the front hall, Xiaoyu was sitting on a chair with her eyes closed and concentrating. Now her status was very different. Unlike other servants, she could only stand in other places except her own room.
When Xiaoyu saw Li Qi coming, she quickly stood up and saluted, saying: "Brother Li, you are back."
"Well, Anan said you have something to do with me?" Li Qi nodded.
Xiaoyu hurriedly said: "Well, that's it. The first batch of Royal Han Bao is now ready. The shopkeepers of our chain store can't wait. They come to me every day to ask me when I can sell these Royal Han Bao. You see?
?”
Li Qiwei pondered and said, "Now that it's done, let's start selling it tomorrow."
Xiaoyu added: "Also, Carpenter Caitian came to see me just now. He said that the bar has been fully renovated and asked you when you would be free to take a look."
Now that Li Qi is not here, I can help you with everything. Newcomers like them like to look for Xiaoyu. After all, she came from a refugee camp.
Li Qi nodded and said, "I understand. I will take a look. Is there anything else?"
Xiaoyu shook her head and said: "No more."
Li Qi hummed and suddenly asked: "By the way, Xiaoyu, what do you girls usually like to play?"
Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"you do not know?"
Li Qi was shocked and said: "You don't even know what you usually play?"
Xiaoyu said: "I help in the store on weekdays, and I fall asleep when I get home."
Sure enough, they are Sanhao employees.
"Uh...Xiaoyu, you know, this is what I appreciate most about you."
Li Qi smiled coquettishly and said, "But don't worry. After this busy period, I will let you take a long vacation and go out to play with Anan. Everything you use will be counted on the cabinet."
Chen Anan was happy and said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Li, for taking care of me."
Xiaoyu's face was blood red. She lowered her head and said nothing, and secretly glanced at Chen Anan.
*************
The next day.
crackling...
Today, Zuixianju is decorated with lights and colorful, and it is very lively. I can see that the plaque of "Second Kitchen" has been lowered to the eaves of the second floor, and the top is a shining golden plaque, "Royal Han Bao".
"Kang kuang kuang. Thanks to the emperor's great kindness, the shop was given a golden plaque to show his encouragement. In order to repay the emperor's favor, the shop will give a royal hanbao to all guests who come to the shop for dinner today to express their gratitude."
Chen Anan took the gongs and drums and shouted loudly while beating them.
Mrs. Qin, Li Qi, Wu Furong, and Xiaoyu stood in front of the door to greet the guests. Li Qi planned to take this opportunity to let Xiaoyu show her face in front of everyone and improve her status.
"congratulations."
"Thank you, please come inside."
.......
This time, there was an endless stream of guests who came to congratulate me, and the scene was unprecedented. In the past, they were basically regular customers, but this time they were mostly colleagues, and almost all the shopkeepers from various restaurants in the capital came.
Nowadays, the status of Zuixianju is completely different from that of the past. Coupled with the golden plaque given by the emperor, it is even more powerful and arrogant. During the last incident in Killing Pig Alley, these restaurants were destroyed by Zuixianju and Fanlou.
After joining forces, they were defeated completely. Now they dare not have even the slightest evil intention towards Zui Xianju, and they can no longer even fawn over him.
Li Qi didn't know much about them either. He just pretended that the previous incident had never happened and greeted him with a smile. However, when Mr. Zhang from Yanglou came over, Wu Furong, an old man, couldn't help but sarcastically say something to him.
Li Qi was naturally facing his family, pretending that he didn't hear anything.
"Mrs. Qin, Master Li, congratulations."
Fan Shaobai was riding a horse, and there was a car behind him to congratulate him. Before he got off the horse, he raised his hands and said with a smile.
"Same joy, same joy."
Mrs. Qin, Li Qi and others returned the favor one after another.
After Fan Shaobai got off the horse, he said a few words of congratulations, and then whispered to Li Qi: "Master Li, can you take a step to speak."
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then understood, stretched out his hand and said: "Master Fan, please."
The two of them went to a corner nearby. Fan Shaobai said with a smile: "Master Li, you are really capable. You can get such a treasure. With this golden plaque, our chain store will go to the next level."
Good guy, now you know how to say "we", he is indeed a talented person who understands current affairs.
Li Qi said politely: "No, no, this is all thanks to the emperor's wrong love."
Fan Shaobai smiled slightly and said: "By the way, I heard rumors that you asked Cai Yuanwai to join your chain store and gave him the entire Jiangnan area?"
The information is quite good. It seems that there are many of his people near me.
Li Qi knew it well and had no intention of hiding it. After all, strength is the best explanation. He nodded and said: "This is not a rumor, it is indeed true."
Fan Shaobai said with a hint of displeasure: "Master Li, why did you do this? Have you forgotten how Cai Yuanwai treated you before?"
"Of course I haven't forgotten it."
Li Qi chuckled, changed the subject, and said: "But the money has not treated me badly. I am a businessman. There is no reason why I can't make money even if I have money. However, I will never forget your store's kindness to us. This guy
It's just a small profit, it's nothing, I'll tell you the truth. We at Zuixianju are planning to open a full-service restaurant in Jiangnan. The scale is not small. If you are interested, we can play together."
Fan Shaobai frowned and thought for a while, then said: "I still have to discuss this with my father, but I am quite interested."
Although he said this, the displeasure on his face had long since disappeared, and was replaced by a smile. Now he finally understood a truth, and there was nothing wrong with following Li Qi.
"Of course, there is still some time anyway, you can think about it slowly."
"Master Li. Mr. Fan."
While Li Qi and Fan Shaobai were chatting happily, Cai Minde suddenly came over with a congratulatory gift, his face full of pride. He is now the general agent of Jiangnan Hanbao, a roast duck chain store, and this golden signboard has greatly benefited him.
"Exceptor Cai."
Li Qi and Fan Shaobai returned the favor with their hands.
Fan Shaobai was arrogant and unwilling to communicate too much with Cai Minde. He nodded and said, "You guys talk first, I'll go in first." After that, he turned around and went to the store.
Cai Minde's heart was like a mirror, but how could he care about this now? After Fan Shaobai entered, he laughed and said: "Master Li, your generous gift really flatters Cai."
Li Qi shook his head and said with a smile: "The member has misunderstood. The generous gift I mentioned is not what I meant."
"oh?"
Cai Minde was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "What is that?"
Li Qi smiled and said, "I heard that Huang Wenye is the shopkeeper of your Jinling branch, I wonder if that's true?"
Cai Minde nodded and said: "Yes. Why does Master Li ask this?"
Li Qi smiled slightly and said: "Commissioner, when you go back later, ask Huang Wenye to rush back to Jinling immediately and ask him to prepare several stores in Jinling. My meat will go south soon. I will sell some on the way and put the rest away." I'll sell it in your store. As for the profit, I'll give you three cents in interest. I guarantee it will be a big hit, and it can also help open the way for our Hanbao and roast duck. Then you won't even need to publicize it."
Cai Minde narrowed his eyes, and the calculation in his heart changed. He laughed loudly and nodded: "Master Li is indeed a kind person. After all this time, you have not lost all the money I lost selling meat to you." Did you give it back to me? Oh, thank you so much."
Sigh. What kind of world is this! I take your cheap meat, add a profit and sell it to you, and you still have to say thank you to me. This business is so fucking profitable.
"That's a bad statement from a member of the Communist Party of China."
Li Qi pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "How can you say that you have lost money? It should be that you have made a profit."
Cai Minde laughed and said: "Yes, yes, I am already confused."
Seeing Li Qi and Cai Minde standing aside, Wu Furong was filled with doubts and whispered to Mrs. Qin: "Madam, what are they talking about?"
Mrs. Qin glanced at Li Qi and hummed: "How do I know? I think they are the same."
"Uu."
At this moment, a carriage stopped in front of Zuixianju.
Li Qi glanced slightly, with a happy expression on his face, and hurriedly said to Cai Minde: "Executive member, let's talk here today, we will discuss it in detail another day."
Cai Minde thought some distinguished guests were coming, so he nodded and said, "Okay, okay, Cai will go in first."
Li Qi nodded and asked a bartender to lead Cai Minde in, but he hurriedly walked towards the carriage and saw a young woman getting out of the carriage, it was Bai Qiannuo.
Bai Qiannuo said, but her eyes were directed at Li Qi, her face was overflowing with happiness, and she walked over quickly. However, because Mrs. Qin and Wu Furong were here, she did not dare to be too intimate with Li Qi.
"Qiniang, you are here."
Mrs. Qin smiled slightly and said to Li Qi: "Li Qi, please greet Qiniang for me."
Huh? What's wrong with this lady?
Li Qi immediately gave him two grateful looks.
Bai Qiannuo's face turned red and she said hurriedly: "Brother Li, you are so busy, so you don't need to greet me."
This girl is so cute.
Li Qi nodded and said, "That's right, Qiniang is one of our own now, so there's no need to be so arrogant."
"Brother Li." Bai Qiannuo said coquettishly, her face flushed, but her heart was filled with joy.
Li Qi chuckled and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
Bai Qiannuo nodded and said, "I've eaten."
"By the way, your father didn't punish you, did he?" Li Qi whispered.
Bai Qiannuo said with a smile: "Don't worry. My father is very kind to me, and he is willing to punish me."
After hearing this, Li Qi felt relieved and said with a smile on his face: "Then when are you going to live with me?"
Bai Qiannuo blushed and said shyly, "My mother wants me to stay at home for a few more days."
This mother-in-law, knowing clearly that Qiniang and I were newlyweds, still kept her occupied. It seemed that we should have a good talk with her some other time.
Li Qi was dissatisfied. He rolled his eyes and whispered, "How about I stay at your house? I don't recognize the bed, only the person. I'm very casual."
I have to say, this guy is really very casual.
Bai Qiannuo was no longer a young girl, so she couldn't hear what he meant. She glanced at Mrs. Qin anxiously and saw that she had a strange look on her face, with a trace of blush on her face. She lightly stamped her foot and said: "
I won’t tell you anymore, I’ll go find Sister Wang.”
Hey. How dare you see your friends and forget about sex? It’s really unreasonable.
Li Qi's tiger body trembled, and he was just thinking of taking care of his family when he suddenly heard a roar from the distance, "Wow, ah, ah, ah, Xiao Jiu is here."
When I looked up, I saw three horses galloping towards me. The three people on the horse were Gao Yanei, Hong Tianjiu, and Chai Cong.
Wow! No way, the four young masters from the capital gathered together.
Li Qi's head felt dizzy.
For a time, there was a turbulent situation, people were fleeing here, and the originally harmonious scene immediately became a mess. (To be continued...)
