The next morning.
Li Qi always believed that the most obvious advantage of the Northern Song Dynasty compared with later generations was that the air was good, quiet, and suitable for sleeping. In addition, he could visit the brothels openly. Of course, this advantage did not exist for him, so forget it.
But now, even having a good night's sleep is a luxury for him.
After a tiring day yesterday, I originally planned to take a nap today, but unexpectedly, the eager Heshi Liebohe sent Yuan Hong to sign a contract with him early in the morning. This made him very distressed and vented his anger fiercely on
on the bed board.
However, the two had a very pleasant conversation. He Shiliebohe didn't have many opinions on Li Qi's plan, but he just hoped to speed up the process. This was what Li Qi wanted, so the contract was quickly signed.
In this cooperation, we cannot say which side has taken advantage, it can only be said that each has its own needs. The Jin Kingdom now occupies almost the entire Liao Kingdom, and the cities that have been devastated by the war are in dire straits. They may be good at fighting.
, but when it comes to doing business, they can only look at their backs. Moreover, the two countries are still allies, so economic cooperation between the two parties is naturally a matter of course.
As a noble of the Jin tribe, Heshi Liebohe has a lot of resources in his hands, but he does not know how to convert these resources into money, and Li Qi can help him do this. The two complement each other and lack
Not even one.
However, Li Qi never expected that his plan to go north would be faster than going south, which made him a little bit dumbfounded. Fortunately, he did not need to invest too much money here, so it did not hinder his plan to go south. Now Zuixianju can be said to be
It’s the time to spread your wings and show your ambitions.
After Yuan Hong left, Mrs. Qin walked out of the back hall, frowned slightly and said: "Do you really have to cooperate with that Jin man?" He was still a little taboo about doing business with the Jin man, after all, he was not familiar with the other party.
.
However, this is of extraordinary significance to Li Qi. The so-called knowing oneself and the enemy and being victorious in any battle is one of making money. If he can also use this to penetrate into the Kingdom of Jin, this is very important to him. He nodded and said: "
Yes. Even if Madam objects, I will definitely cooperate with him."
Mrs. Qin rolled her eyes at him and said, "When did I say I objected? It's just that I hope you can be careful and don't be deceived."
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
Mrs. Qin said displeased: "Why are you laughing?"
"I just think Madam shouldn't say this to me."
"Then who should I tell?"
"That golden man."
Mrs. Qin was stunned for a while, then smiled bitterly and said: "That's right. I have known you for so long, and you usually lie to others. Even I am no exception. There is no reason to be cheated."
Li Qi said depressedly: "Madam, please don't say this nonsense. When did I lie to you? How bad it is for Qiniang to hear this."
"What does this have to do with Qiniang?"
Li Qi smiled, and suddenly saw Mrs. Chen running in in a hurry, panting: "Mrs. Husband, Master Li, Taiwei Liang is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Shicheng was seen walking in with a few young eunuchs, but he saw that those young eunuchs were still holding a plaque in their hands.
"The lower official (civilian woman) has met Lieutenant Liang."
Li Qi and Mrs. Qin quickly saluted.
"No gift. No gift." Liang Shicheng chuckled and said: "Today, I was ordered by the emperor to give this gold plaque to the Golden Knife Chef King."
It’s Jin Bian again? Shit! Can you change your tactics! This highest honor has long been immune to Li Qi. But he still pretended to be excited and said: "Liu Qi, you
Just call me Li Qi, I really don’t dare to be a low-ranking official with the title of chef king."
Liang Shicheng said with a smile: "You can't help but dare not take it. The emperor has issued an edict today to inform the world about the granting of the title of Golden Knife Chef King to you. Also, look."
As he spoke, he gestured to the little eunuch beside him. The little eunuch immediately lifted up the yellow cloth on the plaque, and saw five shining golden characters written on the plaque - The Best Chef in the World.
No way, does such a trivial matter need to be so boastful? It seems that the emperor is really bored.
Liang Shicheng added: "Actually, the emperor has already prepared this golden plaque, just waiting for you to win the Four Nations Banquet. Fortunately, you did not disappoint the emperor."
Li Qi clasped his fists and said: "Where, where, the emperor's kindness is so great, I really deserve it. I have to bother the Taiwei to come and deliver it to the subordinates in person. The officials are even more frightened. Please sit down quickly, Taiwei."
."
"Our family appreciates your kindness, but we still have to return to the palace to recover. Let's wait for another day."
Li Qi didn't force it and said with a smile: "That's okay." After a pause, he said to Mrs. Qin: "Madam, please ask someone to bring some good wine."
Liang Shicheng said politely: "No, no, no."
"This is your wish. I hope the captain will not refuse."
Liang Shicheng smiled and said, "Thank you very much."
...
After seeing off Liang Shicheng, Li Qi returned to the Qin Mansion and saw Mrs. Qin staring at the plaque in a daze. He asked curiously: "Madam, what are you thinking about?"
Mrs. Qin was slightly startled and said, "Oh, I'm wondering where this plaque should be hung?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Don't even think about it. Of course it will be in Zuixianju. With this plaque, who do we need to be afraid of?"
Mrs. Qin asked in surprise: "Aren't you afraid of trouble?" She remembered that the last time Cai Jing sent a plaque to Li Qi, Li Qi complained all day long.
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said: "Madam, here and now, our business was still unstable at that time. Of course I don't want to make enemies on all sides, but now that our business has stabilized, who wants to join us in Zuixianju?"
If we want to be an enemy, he has to think about it first. The more high-profile we are, the more afraid they will be, and they will hang on to it later."
Mrs. Qin heard that what he said made some sense. She nodded slightly and said, "What do you plan to do with the plaque on Grand Master Cai?"
Yes, this is really a problem. Li Qi frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's hang the grand master's plaque on the second floor and this plaque on the top floor."
"That's all."
At this moment, Chen Anan suddenly ran in and said with a kick: "Madam, brother, it's not good, the guests won't eat anymore."
Li Qi was shocked and said: "Wow! A collective hunger strike? This - this is too domineering. But - why did they come to our store to go on a hunger strike?"
Chen Anan kept shaking his head and said: "Brother, I mean the guests are all clamoring for puffer fish, but they don't order anything except puffer fish."
Li Qi was stunned for a while, then sighed, "What a sin!" He raised his legs and walked outside.
...
The Four Kingdoms Banquet has always been a hot topic among the people. Before Song Huizong issued the edict this morning, what happened at the Four Kingdoms Banquet yesterday had already spread, and it became more and more mysterious. Li Qi's dish was about to be blown to the sky.
, and the puffer fish has become the hottest star in Bianjing today. Almost everyone is discussing the taste of the puffer fish.
Nowadays, when guests enter a restaurant, the first thing they say is "Can your chef know how to cook puffer fish?". Not only that. "After one bite of puffer fish meat, you will never hear of fish in the world again." "The most delicious fish in the world."
"Eat the puffer fish to the death." has become everyone's mantra.
Li Qi came to Zuixianju and before he entered, he saw that it was full of people, old and young, all noble people. He could faintly hear Wu Xiaoliu's voice. He glanced secretly and saw Wu Xiaoliu standing on the second floor.
Lou, holding a tree in his hand, foaming at the mouth, was talking about the Three Kingdoms with more style than he had before.
Even if you didn't listen, you would know that Wu Xiaoliu was talking about yesterday's Four Nations Banquet.
It's a waste for this kid not to be a paparazzi. Li Qi walked in. He coughed lightly and sneered: "Liu Zi, you can become a good storyteller from now on, and don't go to the kitchen."
Wu Xiaoliu was startled, and subconsciously knocked the wake wood hard. There was a bang, and Li Qi was so angry that he almost threw it on the bench. Wu Xiaoliu hurriedly threw the wake wood and said with a sad face: "Brother Li, please don't.
I don’t want to talk about it either, it’s---it’s---.”
"I asked him to speak."
Gao Yanei was sitting on the second floor, stroking the red flowers on his temples with one hand, and said coquettishly.
Damn it! It’s you, you idiot again.
However, everyone ignored Gao Yanei and gathered around Li Qi.
"Master Li, I heard that you can cook non-toxic puffer fish."
"Master Li, are you going to make pufferfish today?"
"Yes, yes, I heard that the puffer fish is delicious. Why don't you make one for us to try?"
"Yes, I am still a gold member of Zuixianju. Even if you don't make it for ordinary members, you still have to make it for us gold members."
...
You were saying something to each other, which made Li Qi raise his hands in the air and loudly said: "Dear guests, please listen to what I have to say."
Everyone was very obedient and didn't speak a word.
Li Qi stepped forward, glared at Wu Xiaoliu, and said: "You are not cooking in the kitchen, and you are talking about reading. Do you still want to do it?"
At this time, two bandits, Gao Yanei and Hong Tianjiu, also walked down from the second floor. Gao Yanei laughed and said: "Li Qi, everyone is rushing to the river today. If you don't come, Master Liuzi will stay here."
There’s nothing else to do in the kitchen, so you might as well tell me the interesting things about the Four Nations Banquet.”
Li Qipi said with a smile: "What do you mean by Yanei, if I don't make pufferfish for you to eat, you will go on a hunger strike?"
"Well...."
Hong Tianjiu said hey: "Brother, you promised me that after the Four Nations Banquet is over, you will cook it for me."
"It's the best, it's the best."
Gao Yanei nodded and said: "Originally, my father promised to take me there, but later he regretted it. We are not greedy, so we can just make a dish of sun and moon and let the world of pufferfish taste it for us."
Hong Tianjiu corrected him: "Brother, the sun and the moon are competing for their glory, and they are swallowing up the mountains and rivers."
"That's right, why does the name of this dish have such a long name?"
Is this not too demanding? When Li Qi saw these two living treasures, he felt dumbfounded. He ignored them and said loudly to the guests: "Everyone, the two basic principles on which Zuixianju relies on for its survival are:
, is integrity; secondly, it is to never cook dishes that are harmful to guests. It is true that pufferfish is delicious, and it is true that I can cook non-toxic pufferfish, but pufferfish is extremely poisonous, and this is no lie. A drop of river
The venom of puffer fish can kill an adult in an instant. Therefore, people who do puffer fish must be extremely cautious, but there is a saying that a wise man will make a mistake after thinking a lot. If you do it every day, something will happen. As long as you do it every day, something will happen.
If a person who is a puffer fish is slightly negligent, it will cost one or even several lives. I will never allow this situation to happen in Zuixianju. There is only one way to avoid this situation, and that is not to be a puffer fish.
.So, I will never cook puffer fish for guests to eat. If you don’t come to Zuixianju to eat because of this, then I can’t help it. But I have to advise everyone, don’t be superstitious about eating puffer fish to the death.
, life is the most important thing."
Li Qi knew that if this hole was opened, it would be out of control, so he must immediately stop the guests from wanting to eat puffer fish.
Everyone looked at each other in shock, and the scene suddenly became silent.
Gao Yanei was unhappy and just about to speak, Hong Tianjiu immediately pulled his sleeve and whispered in his ear: "Brother, given our relationship with Brother Li, are you afraid that you won't be able to get a good taste?"
Gao Yanei heard some truth and immediately shut his mouth.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a cry, "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, Master Li, I believe in you so much that you can win all the times after playing fifty rounds, but--wuwuwu---I have nothing left to bear now."
I'm in love, I just want you to make a puffer fish for me to try."
