For three days in a row, Li Qi could not leave the house. He locked himself in his room every day. He rarely even went to the store.
Anyway, he had already given the important task of frying stinky tofu to Wu Xiaoliu.
But having said that, Wu Xiaoliu also enjoyed it quite a lot. After frying the stinky tofu for several days, he didn't feel tired at all. After every sale, he would happily tell Li Qi some interesting things that happened today.
It's a pity that Li Qi rushes to the kitchen to cut cucumbers every time before he can finish enjoying himself.
Wu Furong thought that Li Qi locked himself in the room to avoid Cai Laosan, so he didn't think much about it.
What Li Qi did was exactly what he wanted.
In the past few days, Cai Laosan from Jade Pavilion across the street came here several times, each time trying to get Li Qi's movements out of Wu Furong's mouth on the pretext of discussing the purchase of a store.
Although Wu Furong was honest, he was not stupid. He knew that Cai Yuanwai would not be able to spend 16,000 yuan to buy this Zuixianju. His purpose was naturally the secret recipe of stinky tofu.
Therefore, every time when Cai Laosan inquired about Li Qi, Wu Furong always said that Li Qi had gone out early in the morning. As for where he went, Wu Furong said nothing.
Cai Laosan always came back with a depressed face.
It has been seven days since the stinky tofu came out, and the number of customers has begun to decrease significantly.
However, Zuixianju relied on its stinky tofu and suddenly became the most popular restaurant in Bianjing.
What is puzzling is that this Zuixianju only sells stinky tofu and not even drinks.
Regarding this point, Wu Furong also proposed to Li Qi several times.
However, they were all rejected by Li Qi.
What Li Qi means is that tea can be provided for free, but it is not yet time to sell wine to outsiders.
Wu Furong listened and didn't say much.
These are just little things.
The thing that worried him the most was Li Qi's promise to Mrs. Qin that he would make a net profit of 1,000 yuan on the 15th.
Although the stinky tofu is still sold out every day, Wu Furong is getting more and more anxious when seeing fewer and fewer customers coming to buy stinky tofu.
They have made a total of about 600 guan so far, which is still far away from 1,000 guan, and they only have three days left, which means Li Qi has earned a full 400 guan in these three days.
Not to mention that the tofu delivered by Uncle Zhang every day is limited. Even if there is enough tofu, it may not be able to be sold out now.
Wu Furong was anxious, but Li Qi was not.
Every time Wu Furong wanted to talk to him about this matter, he would always change the topic and look like he was laughing all day long.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Early the next morning, Li Qi put on clean clothes and came to the front hall.
Wu Furong was stunned when he saw Li Qi, but when he saw him looking like he was about to go out, he rushed to greet him and asked, "Master Li, are you ready to go out?"
Li Qi nodded and said, "Well, after staying in the room for a long time, my body is almost getting rusty. It's time to go out for a walk."
Wu Furong nodded and said, "That's fine. It's not a problem to be locked up in the room all the time. Mr. Li, don't worry. I don't think Mr. Cai will do anything to you."
It turns out that this old guy is worried that I will be kidnapped!
Li Qi felt funny in his heart, exchanged a few words with Wu Furong, and then went out.
Imperial Street starts from Xuande Gate of the Imperial Palace in the north, passes through Zhouqiao and Zhuque Gate, and goes directly to Xunmen Gate in the south of the outer city. It is more than ten miles long and two hundred paces wide. It is for the emperor's chariots to enter and exit. It is of extraordinary style.
The turrets on both sides stand symmetrically, and the pavilions and pavilions are lined up in rows. They sell some high-end products, such as famous calligraphy and paintings, and high-end handmade products.
Li Qi walked leisurely along the imperial corridor, looking east and west, so leisurely.
However, Li Qi was not interested at all in those famous calligraphy and paintings, Guqin and swords. He thought it would be great if there was an Internet cafe or a cinema here!
After walking around for a while, Li Qi felt a little bored and yawned. He glanced back from the corner of his eye and saw two figures standing ten meters behind him.
These two tails have been following him from the moment he walked out of the gate of Zuixianju.
Even with his tracking skills, it seems that Cai Yuan's strength is nothing more than this.
Li Qi shook his head disdainfully and ignored them, letting them follow.
After walking around for a while, Li Qifang felt a little tired. He estimated the time and found that it was almost noon.
He raised his eyes and looked around, and saw a small restaurant called "Fengyu House" in front of him, so he walked towards that restaurant.
This restaurant only has two floors, so it cannot be compared with Zui Xian Ju and Jade Xuan in terms of scale.
But the location is good, and the business is booming. Although it's not time to eat yet, there are already many people sitting inside.
Li Qi came to the second floor, found a table by the window and sat down, and asked the bartender for a pot of tea, a few large steamed buns and a side dish.
Li Qi had no interest at all in the cooked beef or cooked mutton that were the best-selling items in this restaurant.
It's not that he doesn't like beef or mutton, it's just that the beef and mutton here are too big.
It’s rare to bite! I’m too lazy to bite!
Li Qi was nibbling a big steamed bun, but looking out the window, feeling a little hopeful and a little nervous.
It’s time for this little shrimp to take the bait!
After a while, there was a sudden commotion downstairs!
"Look, isn't that Yuanwai Cai?"
"Why is he here?"
"Could it be that Mr. Cai wants to buy this restaurant?"
...
finally come!
Li Qi quickly adjusted his mood and munched on the big bun, pretending not to know anything.
Boom, boom, boom!
There was a sound of powerful footsteps in the stairwell.
Li Qi lowered his head and glanced at the stairs with his peripheral vision. He saw two people coming up. It was Cai Laosan who was leading the way. Behind him was a fat middle-aged man in his forties.
Big round head, face full of flesh and oil, a pair of narrowed eyes, but full of energy, thick lips, short beard, tall and burly body, but dressed in luxurious clothes, just like a butcher wearing a dragon robe
, giving people a nondescript feeling. Fortunately, the fat man's aura is strong enough to cover up this flaw very well.
After just a glance, Li Qi immediately withdrew his gaze.
After a while, I suddenly heard Cai Laosan's signature rooster voice.
"Oh, isn't this Mr. Li!"
The voice was full of surprise.
Li Qi secretly smiled in his heart, but his face remained calm. When he looked up, he saw Cai Laosan and the big fat man walking towards him. He quickly got up to meet them, looking even more surprised than Cai Laosan.
Even with an exaggerated expression, "Hey, this--isn't this Butler Cai, polite and courteous!"
After saying that, he really bowed to Cai Laosan.
"Mr. Li, you are really too humble." Cai Laosan hurriedly returned the gift to Li Qi.
Li Qi waited for Cai Laosan to finish his salute, then pretended to help him up, and said happily: "Steward Cai, you don't know something. I was going to look for you these days, but I never thought that I would meet you here today.
Yes, this is really fate."
"Looking for me?"
Cai Laosan was slightly startled, showing a confused expression.
"What? You keep forgetting that I still have a little brother in your shop. I just want to ask how he is doing lately?" Li Qi said.
"Little brother?"
Cai Laosan frowned, suddenly realized, and said: "Oh, you are talking about that beggar—that kid named Chen Anan."
"Exactly, exactly. I wonder how mother and son are doing recently?" Li Qi asked.
Cai Laosan thought of that day when he was made disgraced by Li Qi. A trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, but he still smiled and said: "Master Li, don't worry about this. You are entrusted to me. How dare I neglect you?"
, they eat well and sleep well in the store, they are very energetic."
"That's good, that's good. I'm just thinking about bringing the mother and son back. After all, I've been bothering you in your store for so long, and I feel really bad about it. I'll keep you company here for now." Li Qi
Bowed again.
Cai Laosan hurriedly helped Li Qi up and said: "It should be done, it should be done, Mr. Li, as long as you give me an order, I will immediately send someone to deliver the mother and son safely to the house."
"Then why am I so embarrassed?" Li Qi chuckled, but secretly glanced at the fat man behind Cai Laosan. Seeing the displeasure on his face, he secretly laughed in his heart. Cai Laosan was afraid that he would have to be punished again.
"Cough cough cough!"
Cai Laosan and Li Qi were reminiscing about old times in Zhenghuan, when suddenly there was a warning cough from behind, which made him tremble all over and break out in cold sweat on his head.
Only then did he remember that there was another person standing behind him, and this person was none other than his immediate boss, the big boss of Jade Tower, Cai Minde, Cai Yuanwai.
