Li Qi's words undoubtedly gave Fan Shaobai a shot in the arm. At this time, there was no trace of worry on his face. He was completely different from the Fan Shaobai who had just come in.
Since the death of Fan Zheng, Fan Lou has been really unlucky. The chief chef left with the entire chef team. With the guarantee of Fan Lou's customer base, Feng Yinu, the number one geisha in Tokyo, has been sealed again. What's even more terrible is that,
Zhang Chun'er chose Pan Tower opposite Fan Tower. It rained all night, so it's no wonder Fan Shaobai has lost a lot of weight recently.
But then again, Li Qi was more or less responsible for everything that happened in Fan Lou. If Fan Zheng had not chosen to cooperate with him at that time, the situation might have been completely different.
After several people finished talking, Fan Shaobai left.
Wu Furong looked at Fan Shaobai's leaving figure, frowned, and said: "Master Li, I don't know whether I should say something or not?"
Li Qi was stunned and said with a smile: "Uncle Wu, is there anything else we can't say?"
"That's right, that's right." Wu Furong chuckled and said sternly: "When we were fighting with Mr. Cai, it was thanks to Mr. Fan's help that he helped us get through the difficulties. I am very grateful in my heart. They are in trouble now.
We should also help, but I think this is a grudge between the Fan family and Mrs. Zhang. We can just help him from behind. There is no need to come forward. Besides, Wanglou and other restaurants have no grudge against us, so there is no need for us to go there.
What do you think about making things difficult for them?"
Li Qi shook his head and said with a smile: "First of all, I have always said that Zuixianju and Fan Lou were cooperating, not him helping us. I didn't help because of repaying a favor. As for whether it is necessary to step forward. Haha, Uncle Wu
, let me tell you clearly, there will definitely be a battle between us and Jinlou, but the problem is that our two families are almost the same in strength. It is impossible to slap the other party to death. The only way is to find the other party's younger brother to perform surgery.
Zhang Chun'er also knows this, and when he deals with Fan Lou, he is undoubtedly attacking us, because Fan Lou is our most reliable ally in Tokyo, and as long as Fan Lou is here, we can use Fan Lou to deal with Jin Lou. After all, they are two
We are too close, so no matter what, we should try our best to help Fan Lou. The only thing that worries me is Mr. Cai on the opposite side. This man is very deep in the city. I don’t know what he is thinking. If he
If you stand aside with Zhang Chun'er, then our life in Zuixianju will be difficult."
Wu Furong was sweating profusely when he heard this. He didn't expect that there were so many conflicts of interest. He couldn't help but feel glad that he had kindly taken Li Qi in at that moment, and said: "I didn't think about it. However, you are now deeply loved by the emperor."
, even if Yuanwai Cai chooses to cooperate with Jinlou, they won’t dare to do anything to us."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "Do you think Zhang Chun'er has no backstage? I'm afraid her backstage is no worse than ours. Otherwise, how could she dare to provoke so unscrupulously? Since everyone's backstage is similar, we can only see who has more powerful means.
"
Wu Furong said confused: "So you know the buyer behind the Jinlou?"
Ri. He let it slip. Li Qi smiled, shook his head and said, "I guessed it."
Wu Furong's old face suddenly fell.
At this moment, Li Qi saw Chen Anan walking towards this side from a distance, taking a domineering step, followed by several younger brothers. He was majestic and domineering. He smiled and said: "This kid comes pretty fast."
Wu Furong also saw it and exclaimed: "This boy Anan really looks nothing like Aunt Chen."
If he was as loyal and honest as Mrs. Chen, I probably wouldn't have taken him in in the first place.
"Brother Li, shopkeeper Wu."
Chen Anan also saw Li Qi and Wu Furong, waved and ran over.
When Chen Anan arrived, Li Qi joked: "Brother Nan, when I usually go to invite you, you look like you are unwilling to live or die. I asked Xiaoyu to call you, and you came running like crazy.
You kid is too ungrateful."
Chen Anan felt that it was a great injustice, and said anxiously: "Brother, it's unfair. As soon as I heard you were looking for me, I rushed over immediately. I usually listen to you, and can you not call me that brother?"
Anan can't bear it."
"Hey, you dare to talk back."
Li Qi strangled him by the neck and walked towards the river, cursing endlessly: "Brother, I must let you know today what the Eighteen Great Tortures of the Song Dynasty are."
When Wu Furong saw it, he smiled and shook his head. Suddenly his expression changed and he exclaimed: "That's not right. He is obviously avoiding me on purpose. This---Master Li is so cunning."
As soon as he finished speaking, he smiled bitterly again, shook his head and walked towards the store.
When Chen Anan heard that Li Qi wanted to teach him a lesson, he felt even more wronged. Just when he was about to explain, Li Qi suddenly let go of him and said seriously: "Anan, big brother now has a task for you."
Chen Anan was stunned, with a sad face, pointing at the surging river, and said: "Brother, you won't let me jump in."
Snapped.
Li Qi slapped him on the head and scolded him with a smile: "Where did you think you were, kid? Be serious, I have something serious to tell you."
Chen Anan covered his head, looked at Li Qi with tears in his eyes, and said, "Brother, what's the matter?"
Li Qi coughed lightly and said, "Find a few people you trust to keep an eye on the bartenders sent by Jinlou to other restaurants. Jinlou will also keep an eye on me."
"Oh, I understand." Chen Anan nodded, frowned, and said, "Brother, you want me to keep an eye on the bartender in Jinlou?"
Li Qi said with a straight face: "Is there anything wrong?"
"Okay. Don't worry, this matter is taken care of by me."
"That's pretty much it."
*************
In the evening, Li Qi brought Ma Qiao to Jade Pavilion. When Cai Minde saw Li Qi suddenly coming, he was stunned for a moment, then relieved, and said with a smile: "Hey, Mr. Li is here, please come in quickly."
"Thank you, thank you very much."
The two came to the back room and sat down. Cai Minde smiled and said, "I wonder if Mr. Li is here late at night. What do you want to say?"
"Don't take your orders seriously." Li Qi shook his head and said straight to the point: "I came here today to discuss the chain store with a member of staff."
A flash of joy flashed in Cai Minde's eyes, but it only passed in a flash. He smiled and said, "Didn't Mr. Li tell you last time that he would send someone to transport the second batch of meat to the south early next year?"
Li Qidao: "That was my original plan. But now the first batch of people who have gone down haven't heard from me. I'm a little worried, so I want to advance the plan so that I can meet them. I don't know what I think?"
Cai Minde smiled and said, "Just for this?"
Li Qi was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "Otherwise, what else do the members think I am doing?"
Cai Minde glanced at him meaningfully and said: "Master Li, Jinlou's recent actions are quite big. You don't know, right?"
Sweating! It turns out that he didn’t think that I was worried about him siding with Zhang Chun’er, so he eagerly wanted to advance the plan. Li Qi smiled and said: “I know.”
The relaxed look on Li Qi's face made Cai Minde frown slightly and said: "The relationship between your store and Fan Lou is so close, the young master will definitely not stand idly by in this matter."
"Of course not." Li Qi chuckled and added: "But Yuanwai, you are a person who has seen big storms after all. When dealing with a restaurant that has been open for more than a month, is it necessary to make a fuss out of a molehill? Let me tell you.
, how to live your life, how to live it."
Cai Minde smiled and said: "Young Master is a little overconfident. Now Jinlou has united with several of the best restaurants in Tokyo, and its strength is not bad."
Li Qi said disdainfully: "So what?"
Cai Minde was stunned. This person must be too arrogant. He smiled half-heartedly and said: "If we add Cai, I wonder if we can let the young master use more food?"
Li Qi was shocked and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
"Young Master must also know that Zhang Chun'er came to see Cai."
A sneer appeared at the corner of Li Qi's mouth, and he said: "So, the member has already made a decision?"
Cai Yuanwai nodded and said, "Actually, Cai already made his decision after the Four Nations Banquet."
Damn it! This is not going to be easy. Li Qi frowned and thought about countermeasures secretly. Then he heard Cai Minde say: "Although my Cai Minde's behavior is not recognized by others, no matter what Cai does, I will not help him."
Chinese people come to make money from the people of Song Dynasty."
Li Qi said in shock: "What did you just say?"
Cai Minde smiled and said: "Are you still planning to hide it from me now? On the day the Jinlou opened, I guessed that the buyer might be from the north, but at that time I thought the buyer was a wealthy gentry who had escaped from the Liao Kingdom.
It wasn’t until the second day after the Four Kingdoms Banquet that I heard everyone talking about the golden pearl in the palm of the Jin Kingdom’s royal chef’s last dish, that I realized that the buyer behind the Jin Tower was not from the Liao Kingdom, but from the Jin Dynasty.”
This old fox is really shrewd, but you really look down on the golden people. It would be great if they knew how to make money with their brains. Li Qi naturally knew that Cai Minde saw the flaw in the golden bead, so he said quietly:
"Then I wonder what Yuanwai's plan is?" Since Cai Minde didn't choose to side with Zhang Chun'er, he was leaning towards him, so he also wanted to hear Cai Minde's opinion.
Unexpectedly, Cai Minde waved his hand: "Cai is now focused on the chain stores in Jiangnan. As for other things, Cai doesn't want to get involved. Let's talk about going south. Oh, I'm all ready, anytime
You can all go."
That's right, you sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight is the greatest help to me. If you want to help, I have to worry about raising tigers. Li Qi smiled and said: "Okay. I can rest assured if you have a member outside." After a pause.
After a pause, he continued: "But, are you planning to take pictures of many people this time?"
Cai Minde said: "Seventy people. Of course, I won't bother Mr. Li. I will send a ship to send them there myself."
"No trouble. No trouble at all."
Li Qi chuckled and said: "Commissioner, since we are cooperating to open a store in Jiangnan, why should we go in two ways? This is extremely unlucky."
Cai Mindel said in shock: "But if we are crowded on the same boat, will it be a little too crowded?"
"It's not crowded, so how can it be crowded?"
Li Qi laughed and said, "I just need to send less people there."
Cai Minde finally understood. I dare you not to have so many people, so you want to borrow someone from me. But he did not expose Li Qi and said with a smile: "Okay. I'll trouble Mr. Li then. I don't know when Mr. Li plans to set off.
