After some details were settled, Li Qi stood up and left.
After Li Qi left, Cai Laosan immediately walked to Cai Minde and whispered: "Master, is the price too high?"
"Xiaosan, we are businessmen, so we have to take a longer view."
Cai Minde showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth and said: "The reason why Zui Xianju can still survive until now is just because of this stinky tofu. If our Jade Pavilion can also make stinky tofu, then do we still need to be afraid of it? As long as it comes to
If the price is lowered, it will be a matter of time before Zuixianju closes down. I still have to pay 16,000 yuan. Old man Wu, I will see how you die."
When Cai Laosan heard this, he suddenly understood and nodded hurriedly: "What the master said is that with this secret recipe, the Zuixianju is already in the master's pocket."
"It's just that this guy named Li is indeed a talent. It would be great if he could be used by me." Cai Minde said with a little regret.
Cai Minde had always thought that he was in charge of the game just now, but after everything was settled, he felt vaguely that everything seemed to be going too smoothly. From the beginning, everything Li Qi said was smooth.
As long as it was what he wanted to know, Li Qi would tell him everything, and everything he said was reasonable and well-founded, leaving no room for him to doubt, as if all this had been designed by Li Qi a long time ago.
OK.
But when he thought about Li Qi's age, Cai Minde felt that he was worrying too much. How could he be so wealthy at such a young age? It must be because he was not deeply involved in the world that he could be so close to me.
Cai Laosan knew that Cai Minde always liked to recruit wise men, so he hurriedly agreed: "Sir, you don't have to worry about this. When Zuixianju falls into our hands, the man named Li will have nowhere to go. At that time, he will only have
Come and take refuge with me."
"That's right! What you said is right. As long as we buy Zuixianju, this kid will definitely come to join us." Cai Minde immediately smiled happily.

By the time Li Qi returned to Zuixianju, Wu Furong and the others had already closed the stall. At this time, Wu Furong was hiding at the counter again, dialing in his old abacus.
Li Qi was particularly moved when he saw it. He knew that Wu Furong did this just to let him stay, and shouted: "Uncle Wu, I'm back!"
Wu Furong looked up and saw that it was Li Qi. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked Chen Xiaozhu to pour a cup of tea for Li Qi.
After the two sat down and chatted for a few words, Li Qi saw Wu Furong looking worried and asked, "Uncle Wu, are you worried about something?"
Wu Furong was slightly startled, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Mr. Li, the fifteen-day deadline is coming soon, but the money earned these days is still far from one thousand guan, and I have come to buy stinky tofu in these two days.
There are fewer and fewer guests, and I’m afraid that when the time comes——.”
Although Wu Furong did not finish what he said, Li Qi knew what he wanted to say, and he laughed and said: "Uncle Wu, you don't have to worry about this. I have already taken care of the money matter, and someone will send the money tonight."
.”
Wu Furong looked shocked, grabbed Li Qi's sleeve, and said: "Master Li, what you said is true! Don't try to deceive me."
Li Qi nodded and smiled: "How dare I deceive you!"
Seeing his confident look, Wu Furong was convinced. He immediately beamed with joy and asked, "But I don't know who will send the money?"
"I can't say this yet. After tonight, I will tell uncle everything." Li Qi smiled mysteriously, and then said: "By the way, where is Xiao Liuzi going?"
Seeing that Li Qi was unwilling to say anything, Wu Furong did not ask any more questions and replied: "Oh, Liuzi and Dazhu are cleaning the kitchen. Haha, since you came, that kid has become much more diligent."
After hearing this, Li Qi felt very happy and said modestly: "Uncle, you have taught me well before. Okay, I will go to Xiao Liuzi to explain something first. You can continue to do your work."
...
That night, when Wu Furong saw Cai Laosan and four porters carrying two large wooden boxes to the store, he was stunned.
After Cai Laosan asked the porters to open the two boxes, Wu Furong's uncle and nephew and brother Zhuzi immediately gasped and leaned forward with their heels together. The scene was quite funny.
It turned out that the two large wooden boxes were filled with strings of copper coins, and by visual inspection there were at least a thousand coins.
Among the four of them, except Wu Furong, it was the first time for the other three to see so many copper coins, and their eyes nearly popped out.
When Cai Laosan saw the appearance of the four of them, he was secretly proud of himself. However, when he saw Li Qi's face was dull, he was very surprised and said to himself: "The master is right, this boy is really different."
Li Qi didn't explain too much to Wu Furong and the others, he just asked them to put the money away, and then took Wu Xiaoliu, brought the brine prepared long ago and more than ten pieces of stinky tofu that had not been fried, and followed Mr. Cai.
Three went out.
In fact, Wu Xiaoliu didn't know what Li Qi was going to do, but he knew that following Li Qi would definitely not go wrong. Before leaving, he glanced at Brother Zhuzi proudly, as if to say, did you see it? This is it.
Big brother’s preferential treatment.
Arriving at Jade Pavilion, Li Qi was secretly surprised when he saw the level of luxury inside. Not to mention other things, the kitchen alone was several times bigger than the kitchen in Zuixianju.
Cai Minde, who had been waiting in the lobby for a long time, looked proud when he saw Li Qi's expression. He did not plan to ask the chef in the store to learn how to make the stinky tofu from Li Qi tonight, but went into battle himself. After all, he himself
He is a chef by training.
Li Qi was quite surprised by this, but he also knew that Cai Minde did this just because he didn't want more people to know the secret recipe of this stinky tofu.
Li Qi first handed over the recipe he had just written this afternoon to Cai Minde. When Cai Minde saw the crooked words on the paper, he was shocked. He never thought that he could easily tell the match between White Snake and Mr. Song.
Li Qi's handwriting was so ugly.
Li Qi glanced at Cai Minde anxiously, not knowing what he was thinking. His face turned red and he thought to himself that I must find a way to get a pen. The writing brush is really not suitable for me.
Fortunately, Cai Minde was not a scholar, so he didn't think too much about it. He still focused on the content of the secret recipe. But when he saw that the raw materials for this stinky tofu were so cheap, he almost jumped up with excitement. He thought to himself,
You, Old Man Wu, would take such a cheap thing and sell it so expensively. I didn’t expect that this old man is really ruthless.
As everyone knows, all of this was Li Qi's attention.
Seeing Cai Minde's excited look, Li Qi felt regretful in his intestines. He complained secretly, "I didn't expect this. If I had told him the cost price of this stinky tofu earlier, maybe the price of this secret recipe could go up."
, What a loss, what a loss! It seems that there is still a big gap between my business and my father-in-law’s business!
After the two parties signed the agreement they had discussed earlier, they went to the kitchen together.
The two of them worked in the kitchen for nearly an hour before they came out.
However, the expressions of the two people after they came out were completely opposite. Li Qi's face was full of exhaustion, and he could not even lift his head. He had already explained every step of making this stinky tofu to Cai Minde in detail.
, and also taught him step by step how to fry stinky tofu.
There’s nothing fake in this!
No matter how courageous Li Qi was, he would not dare to play tricks on this. He knew that Cai Minde was the chef in Cai Jing's house. Cai Jing's talkative mouth was recorded in history books. Being able to work as a chef in his house proved that this was the case.
Cai Minde's cooking skills must be extraordinary. To do this in front of such a master is to seek death.
But Cai Minde is in high spirits. It’s true that people are in high spirits during happy events!
