Wu Xiaoliu still stood in front of Zuixianju's door with a spoon, frying stinky tofu.
His job today is relatively easy. He only needs to fry two hundred portions of stinky tofu, which is similar to yesterday, but these two hundred portions of stinky tofu are finished products.
Yesterday, Uncle Zhang delivered a total of two carts of tofu. The first cart was delivered according to the earlier agreement, which means that these tofus are finished products and the taste will not be any different from the previous two days. The second cart of tofu, naturally
They are all tofu that has not been completely dried. Although the difference is only one day, the taste will be much different. This is the sensitivity of food to time.
Because there are many regular customers who come to buy stinky tofu, if he sells them some semi-finished products, Li Qi is afraid that they will taste the difference, so he still prepares the finished products for them. As for those high-ranking officials, most of them have not tasted it yet.
This stinky tofu, so even if you sell them some semi-finished products, they can't taste it.
Since the two batches of tofu were shipped one hour apart, the pickling time was also one hour apart. Therefore, Li Qi was still lying in bed recuperating his energy until almost noon, when he got up from the bed.
After washing up, Li Qi went directly to Wu Xiaoliu's room, where a stove and a frying pan were already set up.
It's obvious that Li Qi wants to start work in Wu Xiaoliu's room. He doesn't dare to do it in the kitchen blatantly. If those customers see it, it turns out you have so much stinky tofu hidden. It's estimated that those customers who have been waiting in line for two days will
Will rush in and smash up the store.
In addition, Li Xiaozhu also stood inside with a silly voice. When he saw Li Qi coming in, he hurriedly greeted him and said: "Brother Li, everything is ready!"
Li Qi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"
"hey-hey!"
Li Xiaozhu was a little flattered, rubbed his hands and laughed twice.
Li Qi saw Li Xiaozhu's silly look, shook his head with a smile, and asked: "Can you cook?"
Li Xiaozhu shook his head violently.
"Well, the three of them outside are enough anyway. You can stay here and help me later. I will also teach you how to fry stinky tofu." Li Qi said with a smile.
"Um!"
Li Xiaozhu nodded hurriedly and replied, children like them from lower-class families are very eager to learn, no matter what aspect, as long as they can learn a skill, that is enough.
Due to time constraints, Li Qi did not chat with him much.
After a little preparation, we started to fry the stinky tofu. Although most of them were semi-finished products, the taste would not be much different after being handled by Li Qi.
Whenever he thinks about frying 400 servings of stinky tofu, Li Qi is stunned.
To be honest, he really hates the smell of stinky tofu.
As pieces of fried tofu were picked up by Li Qi, time passed quietly inadvertently.
"Brother Li, Brother Li!"
Shortly after noon, Wu Xiaoliu's cry came from outside.
"come in!"
When Wu Xiaoliu came in, Li Qi asked, "What? The stinky tofu outside has been sold out?"
Wu Xiaoliu nodded excitedly and said, "Well, my uncle and Dazhu are collecting things. I'll come over first to see if there is anything I can help you with."
"Ha! It seems that you haven't had enough of frying yet. Well, you can bring the stove in later and the two of you can do it together. That will give you more time." Li Qi said with a smile.
"okay!"
"By the way, those guests who didn't eat didn't cause any trouble, right?" Li Qi asked curiously.
Wu Xiaoliu chuckled and said: "They are all used to it. They complained a few times and then dispersed. However, this morning, when my uncle put up the notice that the business would be closed tomorrow, they made a fuss. But
It’s nothing.”
The business will be closed tomorrow. This is also Li Qi's helpless move. Who knows that he has already sold the stinky tofu that he will sell tomorrow one day in advance.
"That's good!"
Li Qi felt relieved and nodded.
With the addition of Wu Xiaoliu, the burden on Li Qi's shoulders became much lighter, and then Wu Furong and Chen Dazhu also came. After all, they were facing high-ranking officials who could eat people without spitting out their bones, and no one dared to neglect them.
Several people worked together, and before the time came, all 400 servings of stinky tofu were already out of the oven.
In order to preserve the temperature of the stinky tofu, Li Qi specially asked Wu Furong to prepare two large steamers, put them on the two stoves in Zuixianju, heated them over low heat, fried a batch, and asked the two brothers Zhuzi to put them in
.
After the tofu was fried, Wu Furong found a few cartmen to push two wooden carts, and then placed the steamer and the two coal stoves on the two carts.
As for the task of delivering tofu, Li Qi had already divided it up. Wu Furong and Xiaozhu followed a car and sent it to Cai's Mansion, Wang's Mansion, and the homes of those high-ranking and third-rank officials.
This car is filled with some finished stinky tofu, which tastes better!
Wu Xiaoliu and Dazhu will deliver the rest.
As for himself, for now, he doesn't want to deal with these ministers, so he stays to guard the store.
Moreover, he also asked Wu Furong and others to return all the money sent by those officials.
Although he is short of money now, the benefits are greater if he takes the money than if he doesn't.
When Wu Furong was about to leave, Li Qi suddenly said in his ear: "Uncle Wu, when you deliver the stinky tofu to Cai's house, remember to tell the housekeeper that Master Cai is too old and should not eat more.
, you can only eat one piece at most, and after eating, you must drink some soup or tea to relieve inflammation. Also, Wang Xiangfu ordered the largest portion of stinky tofu, and I think he may not eat all of it for himself, so
You must also tell them that this stinky tofu is very irritating and should never be eaten too much. Remember this."
"Oh, I remember it!" Wu Furong nodded.
Li Qi sighed and said, "Then you go quickly!"
When Wu Furong and his nephew disappeared into the night, Li Qi looked up to the sky and sighed, then turned around and returned to the store.
The reason why he said those words just now was because he had no choice but to wish that these two traitorous ministers would die soon. But as far as the current situation is concerned, compared with Cai Jing and the others, his current power is simply incomparable.
It’s time to share, so Li Qi never wants anyone on the list to become unwell because of eating stinky tofu.
Otherwise, it may lead to disaster at any time!
After Li Qi returned to the house, he was in a very low mood, thinking that even if I spread Zuixianju all over the country, so what, once Jin Bing enters Beijing in a few years, everything will be over.
Thinking of this, Li Qi's hatred for Song Huizong and the Six Thieves increased even more.
Alas! It seems that we can only take one step at a time. Maybe there are some differences between the real history and the history books, not necessarily.
In the blink of an eye, two hours passed, and the first person to come back was Wu Furong. After all, the places he sent were more concentrated. Although his weight was larger, the distance traveled was much shorter than Wu Xiaoliu and the others.
"Uncle Wu, how are you?" Li Qi opened the door and saw Wu Furong, and asked hurriedly.
Wu Furong laughed and suddenly took out two ingots of gold from his sleeves.
"this---!"
Li Qiden suddenly took a breath of air.
"Master Li, please don't be impatient. Let me have a cup of tea and then I can explain it to you in detail."
After Wu Furong sat down, Chen Xiaozhu, who came back with him, immediately poured him a cup of tea.
Wu Furong told Li Qi the whole incident while drinking tea.
It turned out that the two ingots of gold were rewarded to them by the Cai Mansion and the Wang Mansion respectively, and Li Qi never expected that the reason why Cai Jing and Wang Fu would reward Wu Furong with the gold was all because of what he said to Wu Furong before leaving.
Especially Cai Jing, when he heard that a businessman was so concerned about his own body, and even told him the disadvantages of stinky tofu, he felt really happy. After all, Cai Jing is now almost eighty years old, so naturally he hopes
Longevity.
For this reason, he summoned Wu Furong and rewarded him with a piece of gold.
As for Wang Fu and Wu Furong, they did not see each other, but since they were all rewarded with silver, they were naturally very satisfied.
Not only that, Li Qi took back all the silver coins that Li Qi asked Wu Furong to return. How could those high officials care about this small amount of money?
"It seems that in this world, there are good people who are rewarded with good things."
After hearing this, Li Qi shook his head and smiled bitterly.
