Li Qi was originally the kind of man who didn't like to spend time on dressing up. He always wore a suit and shirt when working, and usually wore jeans and a T-shirt when resting. It was quite casual, but he used to occasionally go shopping with his wife.
Go shopping to buy some new clothes, and his wife is happy to help him in this regard. Although he doesn't want to be ostentatious, he still needs the most basic cleanliness and tidiness, at least he looks comfortable...
However, after entering the Northern Song Dynasty, he began to give up on himself. He never cared about dressing. Anyway, Aunt Chen prepared some clothes for him and he wore whatever he wanted. He rarely even combed his hair and swept it out with his hands.
He has never worn anything like red flowers or jade pendants.
However, today he has to dress up and prepare to fight Zhao Kai, a rich commander in the Northern Song Dynasty, in the name of the 21st century rich commander. Of course, his main purpose is to reform the military uniforms. Don't look at this military uniform reform.
Knowing the difference in equipment can determine the outcome.
Since the bar was not suitable for many people, after Li Qi left, Song Huizong took Gao Qiu and others to the VIP seats, where a group of big shots sat down together.
"What would you like to eat?" A female bartender stood nearby and asked respectfully.
"Barbecue." Li Bangyan said first.
Gao Yanei said hehely: "Uncle Li, do you also like to eat barbecue?"
Li Bangyan nodded and said with a smile: "Could it be that my nephew also likes to eat?"
Gao Yanei nodded with a silly smile, almost drooling, and said: "Uncle Li, don't worry, I've already called you in to get it done, and I'll be here soon."
Li Bangyan laughed and said: "My nephew, the proprietor, really takes care of me."
Since this kind of barbecue started to become popular recently, Song Huizong didn't know about it and asked curiously: "Kang'er, your barbecue is not roast chicken or roast duck."
Gao Yanei shook his head and said: "Uncle Zhao, this barbecue was made by Li Qi recently. It is different from the previous barbecue methods. Our bar does not sell them. You have to go to the barbecue stalls outside the door to buy them. There are many varieties and almost everything.
It can be grilled and goes well with wine." Then he turned to the bartender and said, "By the way, give us two more pots of sweet wine."
Li Bangyan also said: "Let's have another serving of sweet wine with the eggs."
"Sweet wine with eggs?" Song Huizong asked curiously again.
Gao Yanei hurriedly explained: "Uncle Zhao, this sweet wine was recently launched by Li Qi together with barbecue. It is very delicious, and it is even more delicious when boiled with eggs. You have finally come here, you must try it."
.”
At present, beer is a no-brainer, so Li Qi can only take out the glutinous rice liqueur to top it up.
Song Huizong chuckled and said, "Okay, Kang'er has the final say today."
"Okay." Gao Yanei said, patting his chest.
Gao Qiu on the side smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Ya Nei, your barbecue is over." Zhou Hua suddenly stood in front of a tall table and shouted.
"Bring them all here." Gao Yanei said quickly.
"All? Then what shall we eat?"
"Go, go, go, you can just call me yourself."
"oh."
Not to mention, Zhou Hua and the others have really big appetites. They only ordered ten large plates of barbecue, which can be said to be all-encompassing.
Gao Yanei picked up a bunch of chicken offal and handed it over, saying: "Uncle Zhao, eat this first. It's really delicious."
"Thank you Kang'er."
Song Huizong chuckled, took the bunch of chicken offal, ate a piece, twirled his beard a few times, hummed, and said: "It's really good, crispy and delicious, and the taste is quite special. I don't know if it's because of the chicken offal."
What’s up there.”
"Uncle Zhao, you don't know. Li Qi specially developed a kind of pepper oil for this barbecue. When he poured it on the fire, it was called a fragrant o." Tear off a big piece.
"I see."
Song Huizong nodded and asked curiously: "Why doesn't Li Qi sell this barbecue in a bar?"
Gao Yanei pursed his lips and said, "I don't know, the kitchen in his bar is not suitable for barbecue."
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty nodded his head as if he didn't understand. He looked at the green leeks and song leaves on the plate and asked, "Can these green vegetables also be roasted?"
"Uh-huh, enoki mushroom, Uncle Zhao, try that enoki mushroom."
"Uncle Zhao, Uncle Gao."
At this time, Wang Xuanen came suddenly. Since he usually played in Dongcheng and Nancheng, it was the first time he saw this barbecue. He smiled and said: "What are you eating? It tastes so delicious."
Gao Yanei frowned and refused to pay attention to him. He picked up the grilled crucian carp and took a big bite.
Song Huizong laughed and said: "Xuan En is here too, and your dress - haha, you are pretending to be Li Qi."
Wang Xuanen chuckled and said, "Uncle Zhao is so awesome, you can tell at a glance."
"Haha, sit down."
Wang Xuanen responded obediently, sat next to his father, picked up a chicken leg and started eating. Wang Fu was also very doting on his son, and soon the plate in front of Wang Xuanen was piled with food.
With the introduction of Gao Yanei, everyone enjoyed the meal very happily. When the hot sweet wine was served, it won unanimous praise from everyone, as well as the soft, tender and mellow sweet wine egg. , Song Huizong was so hooked that he couldn't help but praise: "This sweet wine paired with barbecue is really a masterpiece."
At this moment, there was a sudden uproar in the bar, and then it turned silent.
Several Song Huizongs raised their eyes to look inside the venue. When they glanced at the door, they all took a deep breath of air-conditioning and became dumbstruck.
But I saw someone standing at the door, wearing a top hat, a long black windbreaker, a gray vest underneath, and a long snow-white scarf hanging around his neck, which was very eye-catching. The bow tie is also very delicate.
As soon as this look appeared, the audience was shocked, and the air in the bar was almost sucked out by them.
This person is none other than Li Qi. His look is imitated by Fa Ge’s version of Xu Wenqiang. It’s a classic. Not to mention, with his height of over 180 meters and his delicate face, wearing this set of equipment, he can move with ease. It really has that kind of flavor, it can be said to be suave, charming, and a killer.
In fact, Li Qi was obsessed with this look at that time, but he was still too young to wear it at that time. He could wear it when he grew up, but times have changed. If he went to Wangfujing dressed like this, he would be considered crazy. Now finally Let him fulfill his long-cherished wish!
Well, that’s right, that’s how it should be.
Li Qi was very satisfied with the silent scene. He put one hand in the pocket of his vest and walked towards the inside with elegant steps. Standing on both sides were some ladies and the female bartender whose face was full of nymphomaniacs that even the mask could not hide. The expression satisfies Li Qina's vanity very well.
"It's Brother Li. Brother Li."
Hong Yaojiu was the first to react. He shouted excitedly, pushed aside the crowd, and ran to Li Qi's side.
This time, Li Qi did not reject him. Flowers must be accompanied by green leaves. However, when Chen Anan was at the door just now, he wanted to come over to take advantage of the glory, but he glared back. Next to Brother Wen stood a Zhao Zilong.
Be sure of something.
After Hong Yaojiu's voice, everyone suddenly woke up and started whispering. Some people even gathered around to watch up close. However, their eyes were not as pure appreciation as Li Qi imagined, but rather
It was an expression that only a zoo should have, which slightly affected Li Qi's mood, and he secretly scolded these people for not being able to appreciate it.
"Brother, what kind of clothes are you wearing? They are really beautiful." Hong Yao said with a flattering smile.
Li Qi glanced sideways and smiled without saying a word. He knew that no matter what strange things they were, they were good things to Hong Yaojiu, so his words could basically be ignored.
The only one who sincerely appreciated Li Qi's look from the beginning was Chai Cong, but now he was furious. Now he finally understood why Li Qi was so kind to give them clothes. Hong Yaojiu and
Li Qi stood together, everyone could tell that they were the eldest brother and the younger brother, and there would be no confusion.
However, beautiful things are always so easy for people to accept. This has nothing to do with time. Even in later generations, some people think that some ancient costumes are quite beautiful. Everyone's eyes gradually changed from curiosity to envy and appreciation.
"Hey, Master Li, can I exchange this cassock for your outfit?" Brother Hu shouted at the top of his voice.
You are too good at doing business. Li Qi smiled slightly and said, "I wouldn't dare to change it with you. Who knows which temple your cassock came from."
Everyone burst into laughter as they entered.
At this moment, Gao Yanei realized that he had been deceived by Li Qi, and he was so angry that if Gao Qiu hadn't been here, he would have rushed to Li Qi to criticize him. He gritted his teeth and said angrily: "This guy is really cunning. He is so cunning."
You won’t make me a set of good clothes.”
At this moment, Wang Xuanen and Gao Yanei finally stood on the same front.
Zhao Kai didn't think too much, he just admired it and praised sincerely: "Li Qi looks really handsome in this outfit."
He was right. Li Qi originally had a temperament that no one here had, and this outfit just explained it.
The more Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty saw, the more he felt that Li Qi's outfit was good-looking. He always judged his performance based on appearance. It was okay to serve as an errand under him without talent, but it was definitely not possible if he was ugly. Look at Wang Fu, Cai Jing, and Li Qi.
Among the ministers like Bang Yan, there was no one who was not a handsome guy, but at the same time, he was very envious in his heart. Obviously, Li Qi's outfit was much more eye-catching than his father's outfit.
After Li Qi answered everyone's questions about his outfit one by one, he also told them the news that Zhou's silk and satin shop would launch some new clothes. Upon hearing this, everyone immediately surrounded Zhou Hua.
No matter how beautiful this dress is, it would only be worn on someone else's body.
After Li Qi dismissed the crowd, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and went to the VIP area. Instead of bowing and saluting, he took off his hat and bent down slightly.
Look at this style, it was made here.
This kind of close-up visual impact made Song Huizong and others give a thumbs up to Li Qi's outfit.
Seeing Li Qi's shiny and neat hair, Zhao Kai was surprised and said, "Li Qi, why does your hair become like this?"
Li Qi raised his head in confusion and said with a smile: "Oh, I got some egg whites to put in."
"Egg white?"
Song Huizong gave him a strange look and said with a smile: "Don't tell me, you also figured this out while cooking."
"Official official, how do you know that I really have learned cooking skills? I remember one time, when I was extracting egg whites, a few hairs suddenly fell in front of my eyes, so I swept them with my hand.
I happened to get some egg white on my hair and accidentally got it on my hair. I later found out that if I put this egg white on my hair, it would sparkle, so I tried it today." Li Qi rambled.
Song Huizong glanced at him doubtfully, frowned and said, "But how comfortable is it to put egg white on your hair?"
Li Qi shook his head and said: "The high official has a sharp eye. He saw the disadvantages of this egg white at a glance. It is indeed not comfortable at all. I did it today and went back to wash it."
Gao Yanei couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "Then you will steal the show today."
Li Qi smiled and said nothing, pretending not to hear.
"No matter what, Li Qi, your hair and your outfit are really interesting." Li Bangyan stood up and walked beside Li Qi, looking left and right. Not to be outdone, Song Huizong also stood up
He stood up and circled around Li Qi.
What do these two fagots want?
Li Qi kept watching them both carefully.
"Bring it here?" Song Huizong suddenly stretched out his hand and said.
"What?"
"Hat o."
"oh."
Song Huizong took the top hat and played with it in his hand, wanting to try it on. Unfortunately, the bun on his head stopped him from thinking about it. He hummed and said, "This hat is quite interesting."
Without returning the hat to Li Qi, he pointed at the tie around Li Qi's neck and asked, "What is this called?"
"This is called a bow tie."
"Take it off and show it to me."
"If you can get a high-ranking official, please don't take it."
"Why can't I take it?"
"My collar can't stand up at all now. I have to rely on this bow to hold it up. If I take it off, it will collapse." Li Qi said with a smile. He had been trying for a long time, but he didn't have the fabric to make a shirt, so he had to pick something.
Some fabrics with a relatively hard texture are uncomfortable to wear and not breathable, but he is rushing to be in the limelight today, and comfort is secondary.
In fact, he did have a complete set of Armani suits and shirts in his house, but those things were too futuristic and ultra-modern. If he took them out, he would have to take them back, and he couldn't explain the workmanship and fabrics at all.
Li Bangyan wandered around for a few times, then suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Li Qi's chest. Li Qi quickly protected his chastity and said cautiously: "Uncle Li, what do you want to do?"
Li Bangyan pointed to Li Qi's chest and said, "What is that white thing?"
It turned out to be this. It really scared me to death. Li Qi quickly pulled the white silk handkerchief from the upper pocket of his vest and said with a smile: "It's just a handkerchief."
"Oh? It's really novel to put the veil here - by the way, why are there so many holes in your body?" Li Bangyan asked curiously.
Dong? Li Qi followed his gaze and saw that he was looking at his waist. He immediately reacted and said in a cold sweat: "This - this is a pocket, used to put things."
Gao Yanei immediately said: "My clothes also have pockets."
Zhao Kai glanced at Gao Yanei with a smile, shook his head, pointed at the coat and asked: "Li Qi, what's the name of your clothes?"
"Oh? This is called a coat, and it's what Dongyao wears."
"Coat? Interesting, interesting, let me try it."
"O?"
Li Qi said with a sad face: "It's cold."
"Look, you are sweating profusely. I see that you are still hot."
Zhao Kai walked forward with great interest. Seeing that Li Qi still looked reluctant, he said displeasedly: "Li Qi, please don't be so angry."
Clothes are like my wife. If I give you my clothes, doesn't that mean I'm giving you my wife? Can this be called anger?
Li Qi was reluctant in his heart, but remembering the purpose of the day, he took off his coat and handed it to Zhao Kai along with the white scarf. But not yet, after Li Qi took off his coat, not only did he not lose his Se, on the contrary, has a different flavor. The gray vest paired with the white "shirt" looks very sophisticated, slim and handsome, which is doubled.
Both the clothes and the way of wearing them are completely different from today's clothes.
The more Song Huizong looked at it, the more he felt that the clothes were very strange, and asked: "What kind of clothes are you wearing?"
"Oh, this is called a vest, and the one inside is called a shirt. They are also new inventions of mine." Li Qi explained.
Zhao Kai couldn't wait to put on his coat, but he looked very strange after wearing it. You must know that he was wearing clothes from ancient times underneath, which obviously didn't match. After a while, he took it off.
"I'll try."
Li Bangyan quickly took it and tried it on, but the effect was still not good. Fortunately, he was wearing white clothes today, so the white scarf matched him well, so he took off his coat and But the scarf was always hung around his neck. Gao Yanei did not believe in evil and took the coat from Li Bangyan. When he put it on, he felt that the clothes were taller than him. How could he wear it when he was 1.7 meters tall? Li Qi’s clothes.
Fortunately, I didn't try it on just now. Song Huizong said thoughtfully: "It seems that this coat cannot be worn alone, it must be worn as a complete set."
Gao Qiu said with a smile: "What the official said is true. I think these clothes have to be matched with each other, and they have to be tailor-made. If they don't fit, they will look a lot worse."
These words were obviously meant to help Li Qi, telling them not to pay attention to Li Qi's clothes. After all, there was no one like Li Qi among them.
Li Qi immediately gave him two grateful looks.
"Li Qi, didn't you prepare a suit for Uncle Zhao? I think Uncle Zhao will look good in it." Wang Xuanen asked with an innocent look on his face.
You bastard guy, you are obviously trying to sow discord. Li Qi cursed secretly, and saw that Song Huizong's face was very unhappy. He smiled and said: "Ya Nei, of course I want to dedicate it to the senior officials, but I wasn't sure whether this dress was good or bad just now. How dare I rashly offer it to the senior official at that time? I want to try it first. If everyone thinks it's good, I can offer it to the senior official. enter."
Then he cupped his fists towards Song Huizong and said: "If the official likes these clothes, Li Qiming will immediately start designing a unique set of clothes for the official."
When Song Huizong heard this, he thought it was true. Even if Li Qi had dedicated this set of clothes to him, he might not have dared to wear them. After all, the clothes were too weird. He believed it in his heart and handed over the hat in his hand. He walked over and patted him on the shoulder, the expression on his face seemed to be, Son, I'm optimistic about you.
When Gao Qiu saw it, an imperceptible smile appeared on his lips.
Li Bangyan rolled his eyes, quickly took off the scarf, stuffed it into Li Qi's hand, and said with a smile: "My dear nephew, I believe it will not be difficult for you to design more sets."
cāo! This scarf seems to have originally been mine. Damn it, you are using nothing. It’s so shameless! Li Qi feels ashamed to have the same surname as Li Bangyan, but now he can only accept it. 1
He raised his head and happened to face Zhao Kai. They were both happy and worried, and everything was unspoken. Li Qi sighed in his heart, that's all, you are so handsome, it would be good to use you as a model.
A trace of displeasure flashed in Wang Xuanen's eyes. He never imagined that his provocative words not only prevented Song Huizong from blaming Li Qi, but also made Li Qi become a popular target.
Wang Fu frowned slightly, glanced at his son, and sighed secretly, Xuan En, you still can't hold your breath. He patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Xuan En, you and your friends can go play."
Wang Xuanen was stunned for a moment, glanced at his father, said yes, then stood up, bowed to everyone, and left. At the same time, Gao Qiu also asked Gao Yanei to go play with Zhou Hua and the others.
Wang Fu looked at Gao Qiu in surprise. He sent Wang Xuanen away because he was afraid that he would talk nonsense again. After all, the emperor was here, but he didn't understand why Gao Qiu wanted to ask Gao Yanei to leave. You must know that Gao Yanei is extremely good today.
He performed well and made the emperor very happy.
Song Huizong didn't pay so much attention. He pulled Li Qi to sit down next to him and said curiously: "Li Qi, if you can make clothes, I can still believe it. Anyway, you can always bring me surprises, but you
What do you think of these strange costumes?”
Li Qi said with a smile: "If I were to become a senior official, it would actually be all because I am lazy."
"Oh? Then come and listen to me." Song Huizong became interested.
Li Qi hummed and said: "One of the most important concepts in designing this dress is for convenience. Look at my coat, as well as the ones worn by Taiwei and Gao Yanei. It is more convenient to put on and take off. Even
The same is true for the design of this pocket, but it’s not enough to be convenient. At least it has to be visible, otherwise you can just put a piece of cloth on your body. I think a good piece of clothing should not only be convenient and comfortable to wear, but also be comfortable.
It can show the unique temperament of what you wear. I saw that the clothes nowadays are relatively loose, so I wanted to go in the opposite direction and try some narrower clothes. I didn’t expect the effect to be quite good. I tried it on.
It's more energetic and has a different flavor."
Li Qide was justified, and everyone was convinced. Song Huizong laughed and said: "So that's it. Today I know that being lazy can have such benefits."
Gao Qiu glanced at Song Huizong and pretended to think: "When a high official comes in, I suddenly thought of something after hearing what Li Qi said. I don't know if it is feasible?"
Everyone immediately turned their attention to Gao Qiu.
A strange light flashed in Li Qi's eyes.
Song Huizong asked curiously: "What's the matter?"
Gao Qiu said uncertainly: "I have also tried Li Qi's clothes, and they are indeed as convenient as he said. I think that being the case, if our soldiers of the Song Dynasty wear these clothes, their combat capabilities may be greatly improved.
"
As soon as these words came out, everyone except Li Qi fell into deep thought.
Zhao Kai was the first to say: "What the Taiwei said is true. This method can really be tried."
Song Huizong glanced at Zhao Kai, nodded slightly, and then asked Wang Fu and Li Bangyan: "General Ming, Shi Mei, what do you think?"
Wang Fu secretly frowned. The reason why Song Taizu increased the power of the Privy Council and the Third Division was just to limit the power of the prime minister. He also understood this, so he rarely interfered with the affairs of the Privy Council, but now he felt that
This matter had a lot to do with Li Qi, which forced him to think carefully. After thinking for a moment, he said: "I also think this method can be tried, but - but it requires a lot of military pay. Now the north
The war is not over yet, and the household department is also very nervous. I think this matter needs to be discussed in the long term."
Thinking about how wealthy the Northern Song Dynasty was at the beginning, but now it is so difficult for Jingran to even allocate a military expenditure to change the soldiers' clothes, which shows how poor the current court is.
"Jiang Ming's words are not unreasonable." Song Huizong nodded.
It's not unreasonable, it's just bullshit. You *** paid for peace, and when you bought your own land, you didn't have to worry about the Ministry of Household Affairs. You know how to take the people's hard-earned money and give it to other countries. If you give it to other countries,
All this money is spent on training soldiers and raising horses. Why should I, the Song Dynasty, be afraid of them? If we retreat ten thousand steps, even if we really can't defeat them, then this money should also be used on ourselves. We can provide money to others to enrich the country and strengthen the people.
If you beat us again, what could be more frustrating than this? Although Li Qi knew that Gao Qiu had other options, when he thought of these things, he felt panicked.
"Then we can use some of the Imperial Guards to try out these clothes first. If they are suitable, we can then make further plans."
Gao Qiu clasped his fists again and said: "Gao is able to live today only because of the blessing of the Holy Grace. Since everyone thinks this method can be tried, Gao does not overestimate his own ability and intends to provide this money in order to be able to help you."
Share worries."
His remarks immediately made Wang Fu and Li Bangyan dumbfounded. Gao Qiu was well-known for his ability to make money, and today it can be said that he has undergone a big transformation.
Song Huizong was also stunned. He was very moved. He held Gao Qiu's hand and said affectionately: "Ai Qiu is really my Xiao He."
Xiao He? You are uneducated and don’t quote scriptures randomly. If Xiao He hears this, he will probably burst out of anger. Besides - besides, this money was paid for by me.
Li Qi didn't know whether he should be happy or cry bitterly at this time. Of course, he took the initiative to give up this credit to Gao Qiu. After all, his official position was too high, his words had no weight, and he didn't want to get too involved.
Pay attention to him.
Gao Qiu immediately looked flattered, and Li Qi got goosebumps all over his body.
Song Huizong thought about it, suddenly glanced at Li Qi, and said with a smile: "But whether these clothes are really as convenient as yours, I have to try them myself before I can decide. We will discuss this tomorrow."
