In the morning of this day, Li Qi did not go to Taishi Academy because today was the third day of the lunar new year and he had to go to Wanglou to attend the delicious feast. To be honest, Li Qi still felt a little grateful to Zhang Chun'er at this time. He also felt grateful to Zhang Chun'er when he came to the Northern Song Dynasty. It has been a long time, but his understanding of Northern Song Dynasty cuisine is still the tip of the iceberg. This kind of food feast is really a rare opportunity for him. Even if Zhang Chun'er doesn't invite him, he will definitely go there to support it.
Li Qi fiddled with it for a while in front of the mirror. First, he combed his hair in a serious way, but then he thought that this was too formal, so he fiddled with it with his hands for a while, making it a little decadent and a little more wanton. Only then did I go out satisfied.
Arriving at the front yard, Li Qi saw a beautiful figure standing in the open space, wearing a goose-yellow gown, with a graceful figure and a faint smile on her jade-like cheeks.
This woman is Mrs. Qin.
Li Qi's eyes lit up, and he walked over with a twitch of his lips, saying hello: "Hello, madam, tsk tsk, you are so beautifully dressed, are you going on a blind date?"
Mrs. Qin frowned and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Are you kidding, madam, you don't have to be so serious - okay, okay, I was wrong, I'm wrong. I apologize to you, I'm sorry." Li Qi smiled and said in a depressed voice, he didn't expect that she was influenced by me. After so many days, I am still so sensitive. It is really pedantic.
Mrs. Qin snorted and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Wang Lou, didn't I tell you yesterday?"
"are you going alone?"
Li Qi was stunned and said, "I'm going with Uncle Wu. Didn't he tell you?"
Mrs. Qin hesitated and said, "Uncle Wu, I'm afraid he can't go."
Li Qi asked in astonishment: "Why?"
Mrs. Qin said: "One of Uncle Wu's concubines is sick. He has to go to Xicheng for a visit, so he can't go with you."
Sweating! I almost forgot that the old guy also had a concubine. Li Qi smiled and said: "You know, you know, woman? When you are sick, there is a man by your side. Although you are a little older, you are still safe after all. I feel that Uncle Wu did the right thing, so I’ll go alone, it’ll be fine.”
Mrs. Qin frowned lightly and said, "Otherwise, you don't want to go. Liuzi and the others can stay there."
Li Qi looked at Mrs. Qin in surprise and said, "How can this be possible? They personally sent someone to invite me. After all, they are also traveling with me. I still have to give this face."
Mrs. Qin said: "Because we are all in the same industry, I am worried that you will have a dispute with them when you go there. It would be bad if you quarrel with them. Besides, your first-class soup dumplings caused Wanglou to suffer heavy losses. What is the impact on us there?" It’s a place of right and wrong. I think it’s better not to go.”
"Madam, don't worry, are you going to argue with them? Humph, they are not up to par. After all, I am also a chef with a knife, and it is a gold knife. Okay, I'll leave first. You can go back to the house early and relax."
Mrs. Qin rolled her eyes at him and said, "Wait a moment."
Li Qi turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Mrs. Qin sighed softly and said, "I'll go with you."
Li Qi was shocked. He gasped and said: "Husband---Madam, you---you want to go with me?"
Mrs. Qin asked: "What? Isn't it possible?"
Li Qi scratched the back of his head and said: "It's not impossible, but madam, don't you always like this kind of occasion? Usually in Zuixianju, you stay in the backyard and rarely come to the hall. Now why are you--- Haha, you are not stimulated by something, are you?"
"You've just been stimulated." Mrs. Qin glared at him slightly and said, "I haven't gone to look at you yet. I heard that many restaurant owners will go to Wanglou today. Some time ago, our relationship with them
It's not good in the first place, but I really can't worry about you going alone."
Damn! I'm talking about the same thing as that bastard Xiaojiu. Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "Madam, if you want to go, go. Others have invited you, so don't use me as an excuse. Let's go."
The two walked towards the door. Li Qi glanced at Mrs. Qin and saw a trace of nervousness in her usually calm eyes. He shook his head secretly and joked: "Madam, you are so beautifully dressed. It turns out you are..."
You want to go to the gourmet feast with me, oh, it’s so honorable to me, I can’t thank you enough.”
Mrs. Qin's face turned slightly red and she asked anxiously, "Is what I'm wearing today really inappropriate?"
Li Qi chuckled: "If it's inappropriate to say beautiful, then it's really inappropriate."
Mrs. Qin rolled her eyes at him and said, "Then I'd better go back and change it."
Fuck! Are you mistaken? Li Qi quickly stopped her and said with a smile: "Madam, in fact, you are wearing the same clothes, unless you put some charcoal ash on your face, it will be difficult to get rid of your so-called 'improperness'
'."
"Charcoal ash?" Mrs. Qin read it softly, and suddenly said: "Wait for me for a while." After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the back hall.
"Mrs.--Mrs.--."
Li Qi shouted a few words, but Mrs. Qin ignored him and walked towards the backyard. Why is this madam so crazy again?
After just a while, Mrs. Qin came out, still wearing the same goose-yellow gown, but with a piece of light blue gauze hanging on her face. Under the gauze, her face was as if it were made in heaven, looming, distant, hazy.
, but it is even more alluring. Only four words can describe it - peerless elegance.
Needless to say, Li Qi was once again stunned. His eyes moved from the distance to the front of his eyes, and suddenly he heard Mrs. Qin say: "What are you looking at?"
Li Qi was slightly startled, and was startled when he saw Mrs. Qin had already walked up to him, and hehehe said: "I didn't see anything, I just thought that Madam's dress was too mediocre, and I knew she was an aunt selling vegetables on the street.
"It couldn't be more appropriate." But his eyes couldn't hide the praise.
Couldn't Mrs. Qin tell that he was deliberately sarcastic? She glared at him slightly and said calmly: "Let's go."
The two came outside the door and saw Ma Qiao sitting on the carriage, talking and laughing with Xiao Tao.
"Madam, Master Li."
"Um."
Li Qi stretched out his hand and said: "Madam, please get in the car."
"I'll just go in the sedan chair."
"How can this be possible? We are going on behalf of Zuixianju, how can we go in separate ways? If outsiders see this, it will inevitably make people suspicious. Besides, my carriage is quite big. It can accommodate two people.
That's more than enough." Li Qi said seriously.
Mrs. Qin nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. Thank you very much."
"No thank you, no thank you. Madam please."
Mrs. Qin hummed and said, "Then it's hard for you to sit outside."
"That's right--wait a minute, I'll sit outside? What do you mean?---I'm talking about the two of us, not you and Xiaotao. Hey, madam, you'd better go in a sedan."
Mrs. Qin ignored him at all, got into the car with Xiao Tao, and said, "Let's go."
"Damn! This is my carriage, Maqiao. It's up to you to judge."
"Deputy Marshal, you'd better get in the car. We are all gentlemen after all. Why should we be so fussy about it?"
"Fuck! This has nothing to do with the big men. It's a matter of principle."
"What principle?"
"I don't understand whether a man can kiss or not."
.......
A group of four people rode a carriage and arrived at the King's Tower. The size of this King's Tower was about the same as Zui Xianju, but at this time, just from the bursts of noise coming from inside, you could guess what the scene was like inside.
Already.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Li Qi jumped out of the carriage, stroking his hair and grumbling: "Really, the hair style that I worked so hard to do is all messed up. This open-top carriage is really
Not suitable for me."
Mrs. Qin got off the carriage, glanced at Li Qi slightly, smiled and said nothing.
Don't think that if you wink at me, I will forgive you and don't even think about riding in my carriage next time. Li Qi pouted, muttering endlessly in his heart.
After Maqiao tied up the carriage, the four of them walked towards the Wang Tower. When they came to the door, they were about to go in, when suddenly an idle man stopped them and said with a smile: "Dear guests, please pay the entrance fee first.
"
"Admission fee?" Li Qi asked curiously: "What is the entrance fee?"
The idle man said: "It's like this. If you want to participate in this gourmet feast, everyone must pay two hundred coins before you can go in and taste the delicacies of the major restaurants. But guests, please rest assured that our money is not in vain."
All the delicacies inside are free of charge."
"Two hundred coins?" Li Qi snorted coldly and said: "Why don't you go and grab it? You put the cover in a bright spot. I was invited by one of your staff. How dare you ask me for entrance fee? Don't you want to do it?"
Already."
The idle man laughed and said: "I know that you are the Golden Knife Chef King in Zuixianju, but my family members have said that except for the chef who came to participate, the rest of the guests, whether they are invited guests or come by themselves,
Guests must pay the entrance fee before they can enter."
Mrs. Qin knew that Li Qi was a master who did not want to suffer losses, so she secretly sighed, luckily I am here, otherwise I am afraid that this person would have fallen out with others before he even entered the door. She immediately winked at Xiao Tao.
Xiao Tao immediately took out a piece of silver from her sleeve and handed it to the idle man. From a rich family, everything is made of silver.
The idle man looked happy, stretched out his hand and said: "You gentlemen, please come in."
Li Qi snorted coldly and said: "You guys are so poor and crazy." After saying that, he and Mrs. Qin walked inside.
Entering the building, I saw that the layout of the restaurant has undergone some changes compared to before. In the middle is a long table made up of twelve square tables, with some small round tables placed on both sides, which is somewhat similar to his buffet banquet.
It's similar, except that the banquet hasn't started yet, so there isn't even a plate on the table.
Li Qi glanced around and saw that the hall was full of people. He said with a long face: "With so many people and two hundred coins per person, wouldn't Wang Yuanwai make a lot of money?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of hearty laughter suddenly came to his mind: "Haha, I never thought Mr. Li would complain about these two hundred coins."
Li Qi turned around and saw Cai Minde, with a big belly, walking over with Cai Laosan. The two of them first bowed their hands to Mrs. Qin.
Mrs. Qin nodded slightly, without even opening her mouth.
Cai Minde knew that Mrs. Qin was still worried about what he had done in the past, so she didn't care.
Li Qi laughed and said: "That's a bad comment. Money is a trivial matter. The problem is, I didn't even see a single hair and threw away a few hundred pennies. This is not a banquet, it's clearly robbery."
"
Cai Minde smiled and said: "Cai thought it was normal. Not to mention that there will be 180 delicacies for us to taste later. If Wang Lou doesn't charge this money, then when we come, it will be crowded.
We can’t even squeeze in.”
This is true. Li Qi still refused to admit defeat and said: "But we were invited by them after all, so there is no reason to invite guests to give money. Forget it, I will get this profit back later.
.”
Mrs. Qin said: "Don't mess around."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Madam, don't worry, I'm not that reckless. But as you can see, our Zuixianju is the biggest winner of this gourmet feast." (To be continued.)
