In many people's understanding, a fireplace has a big chimney, a big hole, and a fireplace frame made of marble or other materials in front. Everyone sits in front of the fireplace and throws firewood in front of it to keep warm.
In fact, it is not the case. The reason why the fireplace can burn is that it can be used after being designed by professional fireplace experts and constructed by professional workers. It is not just a hole and a chimney that can burn. It will involve many things such as air convection.
, architecture and other issues. If you try to do it casually, it is absolutely impossible.
Li Qi's previous knowledge of fireplaces was just a big chimney and a big hole. Later, it was the decoration of his father-in-law's villa, because the designer who helped his father-in-law design the villa happened to be one of his regular customers and was also invited by him. This was exactly what Li Qi knew about the fireplace.
Because of this, he had a very deep understanding of fireplaces and the principles behind them.
After Li Qi called Carpenter Tian over, he immediately explained the design principles of the fireplace to Carpenter Tian in detail. Since Carpenter Tian was originally a leader in this industry, and with many years of experience, he quickly understood some of them
He also gave some key tips and some of his own ideas, which really made Li Qi feel relieved. Talking to smart people saves effort.
The two of them rushed to the bar at night because the structure of the bar was very suitable for a fireplace. After thinking about it for a while, the two came up with a preliminary plan. However, the structures of Zuixianju and Fanlou were not very suitable for this fireplace.
However, Tian Carpenter believes that we can actually find the location of the fireplace correctly first. Then we can modify this area. There shouldn't be any big problems, but it will take more time.
Seeing Carpenter Tian's confident look, Li Qi felt confident. The two of them rushed to Fan Tower and found Fan Shaobai.
Since Fan Lou was now facing a formidable enemy, Fan Shaobai also came out of his grief and took over Fan Lou again. When Li Qi told him about the idea of a fireplace, Fan Shaobai quickly agreed. For him,
In fact, these are all trivial matters. What troubles him the most today is the problem of chefs, because dog meat hot pot can only solve an urgent need, and it will not be a problem in the long run. Nowadays, better chefs are hard to find, so it is suitable for Fan Lou.
Signboards are even rarer.
Li Qi saw that his hair was almost turning gray from worry, so after some thought, he agreed to lend him three chefs. These three chefs were originally from the Grand Master's House, and their cooking skills were naturally very good. It was because of canned meat.
, who just came to help Li Qi, have never gone back since. Cai Jing once occasionally mentioned that he should stay there to help Li Qi, but no matter what, these people are still nominally from the Taishi Mansion, and this is also what Li Qi said.
The reason why Qi Qi was reluctant to lend these people to Fan Lou before. But now Fan Lou's situation is too serious, coupled with the emergence of Jin Lou, so Li Qi decided to lend him people first to help him survive.
Let’s talk about it after we get through this difficulty.
After coming out of Fan Tower, Li Qi was silent for a while, then suddenly he raised an imperceptible evil smile and said: "Carpenter Tian, when you are installing the fireplace, if others ask, you just say you are building a stove that can keep you warm.
Praise this fireplace to death, but don’t tell anyone the secret, not even your subordinates, you know?”
Although Tian Carpenter didn't understand why Li Qi did this, he nodded and said, "Hey, I understand."
...
That night, Li Qi drew the design drawing of the tube stove again. In the early morning of the next day, he rushed outside the city and found Liu Blacksmith's Shop. He also contacted several blacksmith shops to rush out a batch of stoves for him.
After everything was settled, Li Qi returned to Zuixianju and began to conceive the dishes for the Four Nations Banquet.
Wu Xiaoliu was doing nothing, and saw Li Qi leaning on the table, silent, and asked curiously: "Brother Li, haven't you thought of a new dish yet?"
Li Qi shook his head and sighed.
Wu Xiaoliu rolled his eyes and said: "Brother Li, why do you still want to go so far? Just use Buddha to jump over the wall and boil water to compete in the competition. It's just one dish and one soup."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "Although this is a good idea, it is too early to make a decision now. Let me think about it again. You can go to work."
"oh."
After a while, Xiaoyu suddenly came to the kitchen door and said: "Brother Li, Wang Yanei is here and wants to find you."
"Wang Yanei?"
Li Qi looked surprised and asked hurriedly: "Which Wang Yanei?"
Are there many more Wang Yamen? Xiao Yu was stunned and said: "He is the young master of the Wang Xiang."
"he?"
Li Qi frowned and muttered: "Why did he come to me?"
Wu Xiaoliu came over again, with a worried look on his face: "Isn't this Wang Yanei here to cause trouble again?"
"Are you afraid that he won't have the guts anymore?"
Li Qi smiled disdainfully, took off his apron, washed his hands, and walked out.
When I came to the hall, I saw Wang Xuanen sitting at the table in the middle, with four or five idle men standing around him, looking arrogant and domineering, and the surrounding guests avoided him.
Li Qi secretly laughed when he saw it. It seemed that this guy was much scarier than Gao Yanei. He went up to meet him, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Wang Yanei is here. Li Qi is sorry for not being able to welcome you from afar. Please forgive me."
When Wang Xuanen saw Li Qi's smiling face, he felt hatred in his heart. It was because he had underestimated this smiling face that he was completely defeated. He stood up and laughed and said: "Master Li, congratulations, congratulations."
Congratulations? Li Qi was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "I wonder where the congratulations come from?"
Wang Xuanen blinked a few times and said with a smile: "If it weren't for the joy, how would I dare to disturb Master Li."
Li Qi exclaimed, "Could it be that Wang Yanei came to tell me the good news?"
Wang Xuanen laughed and said: "Master Li is indeed a smart man, he can tell the truth at once."
Li Qi asked curiously: "But I don't know what kind of happy event it is. Do I need to bother the Yameni to come forward?"
Wang Xuanen glanced around. Li Qi understood immediately and stretched out his hand to signal: "If you don't mind that the backyard of the shop is crude, please go sit in the backyard first."
Wang Xuanen smiled and said: "That really couldn't be better."
"please."
"please."
After the two left, the guests present looked at each other in confusion. They had clearly heard that Wang Xuanen and Li Qi were sworn enemies, but when they met today, they were like a pair of sworn friends. It was really puzzling.
Li Qi invited Wang Xuanen to the lounge in the backyard, poured him a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Yanei, what kind of happy event is it that requires you to go there in person?"
Wang Xuanen smiled and said: "I brought a big business to you Zuixianju this time."
"Big business?"
Li Qi raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "What big business?"
Wang Xuanen coughed lightly and said: "It's like this. In three days, my father will entertain distinguished guests at his house, and he has always admired Master Li's cooking skills, so he wanted to invite Master Li over this time.
Help. You can rest assured that as long as you do well, money is not an issue and it will never be less than what Taishi Cai gave you."
Day. I, you thought it was a good thing, but it turned out to be just this. You thought I, Li Qi, had never seen the money. Besides, Cai Jing almost gave me two thousand guan when he came and went. Do you, Wang Fu, have the courage? You are really shameless.
Li Qi frowned. In fact, remuneration was not his biggest concern. You must know that his reputation had already spread. As the first person in the dynasty, it was common for Wang Fu to hold banquets at his house, but why didn't he invite him before?
, rarely even come to Zuixianju to order banquets, but today Wang Xuanen was sent to invite him. He felt that this matter might not be as simple as imagined.
When Wang Xuanen saw Li Qi being silent, he was unhappy and said, "What? Master Li looks down on our palace. He thinks our palace is not as good as the Taishi's palace?"
Li Qi was slightly startled, then shook his head and said: "The words in the yamen are serious. Wang Xianggui is the young prime minister. Even if you give me Li Qi another courage, I don't have the courage."
"It's good if you know." Wang Xuanen smiled proudly and said, "So, you agreed?"
This guy wouldn't want to trick me. Li Qi said with a smile: "There is a business coming. I am too late to be happy, how can I refuse, but I have to prepare a banquet of four countries recently, I'm afraid I won't be able to get away."
Wang Xuanen waved his hand and said: "You can rest assured. It won't take you much time. My father means that this banquet is mainly about barbecue, roast duck and hot pot, so you don't need to prepare for too long, or even do it yourself.
, just go and make arrangements. Oh, and the drinks are all from your Zuixianju Tian Xia Wushuang."
Li Qi opened his eyes, with a flash of light in his eyes, and said: "Yamen, with all due respect, this barbecue belongs to the category of snacks. Putting it at a banquet would seem a bit too shabby."
Wang Xuanen waved his hand and said: "Of course my father can save this, but the distinguished guests who come this time prefer this barbecue. You only need to use snacks and don't let my father's distinguished guests down."
Prefer barbecue? Could it be that---if that's the case, then I have to go there. Li Qi tried: "But I don't know who the distinguished guests Wang Xiang invited this time, so I can tailor the dishes according to their tastes."
Mode."
"Well, what you said makes sense." Wang Xuan'en nodded and said, "Well, sooner or later you will know that the distinguished guest my father is hosting this time is a special envoy from the Kingdom of Jin."
Sure enough. Okay, even if you don't give me money, I still have to go and see what conspiracy you are up to. Li Qi nodded and said with a smile: "No problem, this matter will be taken care of by me. I promise it won't happen."
Disappointing the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister’s distinguished guests.”
When Wang Xuanen saw that Li Qi had agreed, he laughed and said, "Okay. Master Li is really refreshing."
"Where, where."
The two discussed the banquet in detail again. After everything was settled, Wang Xuanen stood up and left. Li Qi pretended to say a few words of condolences and sent him out of the backyard. On the way back to Zuixianju, he secretly thought to himself.
After thinking about it for a while, he felt that there was something fishy about this matter, but he couldn't tell what it was specifically.
As soon as I arrived at the back door, a burst of fragrance suddenly wafted out from the kitchen.
What a smell, it's so familiar. Li Qi sniffed it twice, suddenly looked horrified, and ran towards the kitchen like crazy. When he came to the kitchen door, he saw Wu Xiaoliu holding a spoon and putting it in the kitchen.
Blow on the side of your mouth.
"Liuzi, what are you doing?"
Li Qi roared, and Wu Xiaoliu was so frightened that his hands shook, a little soup in the spoon splashed out, and he stared at Li Qi blankly.
Li Qi hurriedly rushed over, snatched the spoon from Wu Xiaoliu's hand, slapped Wu Xiaoliu hard on the face, and said angrily: "Do you want to die?"
