Chapter thirty-seven empty joy

After a busy day yesterday, Li Qi could finally take a good nap today. There was no need to do business today!

After waking up, Li Qi first came to the kitchen.

At this time, the two Chen brothers were diligently cleaning the kitchen with rags and brooms.

Last night, Li Qi had officially accepted them as his apprentices, and cleaning the kitchen had naturally become a required course for them.

After all, no matter how good Li Qi's cooking skills are, he can't cook it alone and has to find a few helpers.

Although the Chen brothers and Wu Xiaoliu have no foundation, they are loyal and worthy of trust.

Li Qi didn't want to make the same mistake again, recruiting a group of people from outside, only to be poached again after leaving the army.

That’s really not worth the loss!

Anyway, he has plenty of time now. Although the Chen brothers may not be as talented as Wu Xiaoliu, they are diligent enough. Li Qi believes that they can also make up for their shortcomings by being diligent.

"Brother Li!"

"Brother Li! You are here!"

When the two Chen brothers saw Li Qi coming in, they hurriedly put down what they were doing and saluted Li Qi.

Li Qi nodded and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about me, just continue."

Having said this, Li Qi suddenly noticed that there seemed to be one less person in the room, so he asked, "By the way, where is Xiao Liuzi?"

Chen Xiaozhu shook his head and said, "I don't know. I didn't see anyone else this morning. Maybe they are still sleeping."

Still sleeping?

Li Qi frowned slightly.

It's okay for him to be lazy, but if his apprentice is lazy, he will be very unhappy!

As soon as Chen Xiaozhu finished speaking, Wu Xiaoliu's voice sounded outside the door, "Who is talking bad about me?"

Before the sound was finished, Wu Xiaoliu walked in from outside the door with a dirty face. When he saw Li Qi, he immediately bowed and smiled flatteringly: "Brother Li, you're up!"

Li Qi sneered: "Sixth Master, did you sleep well last night?"

Sixth Master?

Wu Xiaoliu said with a sad face: "Brother Li, please don't be rude to me. I didn't sleep well last night."

Li Qi saw that his face was dirty and asked doubtfully: "Did you go out to be a thief last night?"

Wu Xiaoliu rolled his eyes and complained: "Brother Li, you don't know that you spent the whole day frying stinky tofu in my room yesterday. The smell of stinky tofu was everywhere in my room, even the bedding and

There was a stench on the headrest, so I couldn't sleep, so I got up early this morning and cleaned the room, and I've been busy until now."

"Uh..., Brother Li also knows that you have made a significant contribution to Zuixianju, so you don't need to clean the kitchen today. Go back and have a good rest!"

Li Qi had a weird look on his face, but he was already smiling in his heart.

When Wu Xiaoliu heard this, his face suddenly showed joy, he blinked proudly at the Zhuzhu brothers, and then smiled at Li Qixuan and said: "Brother Li, you are so kind to me."

"It should, it should!"

Li Qi suppressed his laughter, and then asked Brother Zhuzi: "By the way, have you seen Uncle Wu."

"Oh, I just saw shopkeeper Wu at the counter." Chen Xiaozhu responded.

"Okay, you guys are busy first, I'm going to talk to Uncle Wu about something."

Having said this, Li Qi patted Wu Xiaoliu's shoulder again and said, "Just go and have a rest. We have to do business tomorrow!"

"Why!"

After leaving the kitchen, Li Qi went directly to the counter and saw Wu Furong standing in front of the counter, fiddling with the abacus.

"Uncle Wu!"

"Hey, Mr. Li, you're up!"

Li Qi nodded, walked over to take a look, and asked, "Uncle Wu, what are you doing?"

Wu Furong smiled honestly and said: "I am settling the accounts. By the way, Mr. Li, do you know how much we have earned in these four days?"

Li Qi shook his head.

Li Qi has never looked at the accounts. After all, his goal is not to make money by selling stinky tofu, but he is not a fool, and he still has a rough account in his mind.

Wu Furong opened his eyes wide, showing an expression of surprise, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Li, we have made nearly 400 coins in the past four days. There are still six days left. With the current momentum, Master Li wants to make a profit in ten days."

It will not be difficult to earn a thousand guan in five days."

"oh!"

After Wu Furong said so much, Li Qi just responded calmly, without any expression on his face.

Wu Furong never expected that Li Qi would respond to him so plainly, and asked in confusion: "Master Li, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"ah?"

Li Qi was startled for a moment, then showed a smile and said: "Uncle Wu, you are worrying too much. I am in good health, but it is not the time to be happy yet. We must keep up our efforts."

"That's it, that's it!"

After hearing this, Wu Furong realized that he seemed to be a little complacent. His face turned red and he nodded in agreement.

Li Qi and Wu Furong chatted for a few more words, and suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Shopkeeper Wu, is Shopkeeper Wu here?" a rooster-like voice said.

Wu Furong's expression changed after hearing this, and he said in surprise: "Cai Laosan? What is he here for?"

Cai Laosan? Isn't he the butler of Jade Tower?

Li Qi felt happy and surprised in his heart, and said to Wu Furong: "Uncle Wu, if Cai Laosan asks about me, just say that I went out. Remember, never say that I am here." After that, he quietly said

He sneaked back into the back room.

"Ah? Li————!"

Before Wu Furong could react, Li Qi had already disappeared from sight. He was very confused and muttered: "How did he know that Cai Laosan came to see him?"

"Shopkeeper Wu, shopkeeper Wu!"

At this time, Cai Laosan shouted a few more times.

"I'm coming!"

Wu Furong opened the door full of questions.

++++++++++++++++++++++

Li Qi quietly returned to his room, shook his fist with excitement, and said to himself: "I didn't expect this old fox to lose his temper so quickly. It seems that those high officials yesterday still gave him

It brought quite a shock!”

A stick of incense has passed.

"Why haven't we finished talking yet?"

Li Qi paced back and forth anxiously in the room, wanting to sneak over and take a look several times, but in the end he endured it.

After another cup of tea, Li Qi finally couldn't restrain his curiosity and was about to open the door and go over to take a look.

Suddenly I heard a burst of fast footsteps outside.

"Master Li, Master Li!"

It's Wu Furong's voice.

Li Qi hurriedly opened the door and asked impatiently: "Uncle, why did Cai Laosan come to you?"

Wu Furong walked into the house, glanced at Li Qi suspiciously, and said, "He came to me to discuss buying a store."

"Watt? Buying a store?"

Li Qi opened his mouth wide and said in surprise: "Uncle Wu, are you kidding me?"

Wu Furong shook his head and said: "Of course not. Then Cai Laosan did come to me to discuss buying a store, but the price he offered was different from the original."

"How much does he pay?"

"Eight thousand strings!" Wu Furong said with a gesture.

Li Qi frowned and asked, "Then how did you reply to him?"

Wu Furong shook his head and said: "I just told him to discuss it with my wife, and he will come again tomorrow."

Although Wu Furong knew that Zuixianju was determined not to sell it to others, he had always been cautious and was afraid of saying the wrong thing, so he wanted to come back and ask Li Qi what he thought first. After all, Li Qi was now in Zuixianju.

The master is in charge.
