What a delicious feast. After Li Qi said these words, it was immediately filled with the smell of copper.
However, Li Qi once again became the focus of the audience.
Zheng Yi, who was belatedly aware of the situation, finally came to his senses. Knowing that he and his charming side had been exploited by Li Qi, he smiled bitterly in his heart, but at the same time he also admired Li Qi's methods.
Obviously, from the moment he asked Li Qi about the Yunying noodles, he had already fallen into a trap carefully designed by Li Qi. From the shortcomings of his Yunying noodles, to the shameless sheep in Zuixianju, to the first-grade
Instant noodles are so intertwined that they are hard to guard against. I secretly thought that this Master Li is really well-deserved. No wonder he was able to make Zuixianju famous in just one year. He really has some tricks.
.
Suddenly Hong Tianjiu said: "Brother Li, where is your first-grade instant noodles? Why didn't I see it?"
This kid has no ability to resist new things. As soon as he heard Li Qi tell him about the instant noodles, he immediately went to the long table to look for them. However, after searching for a long time, he couldn't find the instant noodles. He couldn't help but feel a little bit.
Puzzled.
When everyone heard what Hong Tianjiu said, they immediately reacted and stepped forward to ask.
"Master Li, is this instant noodles really as magical as you say?"
"Where is this brand of instant noodles? Take it out and wait for me to have a look."
"Yes, yes, take it out and have a look."
"Yes, Master Li, stop hiding it and take it out quickly."
.
This Xiaojiu really wins my heart. Whenever I need help, he always comes out. It seems that I will have to trick him less often in the future. Li Qi is grateful to all the eighteen generations of Hong Tianjiu's ancestors.
After repeating it, he raised his hands and said: "Please be patient, my instant noodles also have a common name called instant noodles. The noodles are as the name suggests. The essence of the whole dish lies in this 'instant'. If you still have to make it in the kitchen first,
Okay. If I serve it again, I won’t be able to reveal the essence of my instant noodles. Besides, there are so many delicacies here. You’d better taste these delicacies first and then try my instant noodles.”
"I've tasted all these dishes. You'd better bring out some instant noodles."
"That's right, we can't wait."
Hong Tianjiu lowered his head and paused and said: "Oh, Brother Li, what time is it? These are the dishes we want to eat at their store another day. Please hurry up and take out the first-grade instant noodles."
.
Hearing these remarks and seeing the almost untouched dishes on the table, the other shopkeepers and staff members in the restaurant burst into tears. They had prepared carefully for several days, but they never expected that the guests would be rewarded.
If I had known this, I would have put my own dishes in the first round. I really wanted to eat Li Qi's flesh. Drink Li Qi's blood. I really wouldn't even have a way to survive.
Especially the member Wang, whose face was not as proud as before, as if he had eaten shit. He was miserable. He originally invited Li Qi, firstly because Zhang Chun'er hoped that he could invite Li Qi, and secondly because he also wanted to
Li Qi had seen the grand occasion of Wang Tower. But in the end, all the dares were prepared for Li Qi, and there could be a more deceptive deal than this. He really had the urge to return the money to Li Qi and drive him out.
Li Qi rubbed his hands, wondering: "This is not Zuixianju after all. If you want to eat, I'm afraid you will have to trouble Mr. Wang."
When Wang Yuanwai heard this, he almost cursed and said through gritted teeth: "Where, where, I wonder what Master Li needs?"
This old guy won't get sick from anger. Li Qi said hoarsely: "Please don't worry, Mr. Wang, I have already prepared everything, even the seasonings. Now I only need a stove and some cooking utensils. "
Gao Yanei cheered and said, "I thought it was something valuable, but it turns out that's all. Lao Wang, bring it over quickly."
The rest of the people also asked Yuan Wang to hurry up and bring the things up.
Wang Yuan's heart was bleeding, but he could only squeeze out a smile and said: "Isn't it just a stove? It couldn't be simpler. Even if Master Li wants a coffin, I will sincerely provide it."
Li Qi let out an ouch, clapped his hands and said excitedly: "Really? I don't know if the coffin outside the department has been used. I want a new one. After all, everyone has to use this thing. Are you prepared?"
This is not an official, he is clearly a scoundrel. He didn't even let go of my coffin. Wang Yuanwai rolled his eyes and almost didn't lift it up. He pretended that he didn't hear anything and didn't dare to say more. He gave the order Someone went to help Li Qi prepare it.
Zheng Yi was not stupid. After listening to the conversation between the two of them, he made some guesses. He thought Li Qi was a little too aggressive and did not agree with his approach.
After a while, Wu Xiaoliu and Chen Xiaozhu walked out from behind. Behind them were three assistants, one holding a stew pot, one carrying a basket, and one holding a large cloth bag in his hand.
Cai Minde saw them moving as if they were moving, and thought to himself, it turns out that this kid has been prepared for a long time, haha, it seems that it is better to invite this kid to Jade Pavilion as little as possible in the future.
Wu Xiaoliu came to Li Qi and asked in a low voice: "Brother Li, have you tried the dish I made?"
Li Qi chuckled: "Of course, it's not bad, but the fish jelly is not even enough, so we have to keep working hard."
"Hey, I understand."
"Is everything ready?"
"Everything is ready."
At this time, the bartenders from Wanglou also brought up the stove and some cooking utensils.
Wu Xiaoliu first put a large pot on the stove and boiled a large pot of water, while Chen Xiaozhu took out a round pancake about one foot in diameter from the big bag.
When everyone saw how big the pancake was, they couldn't help but gasp.
Their expressions made Li Qi very confused. Is it advertising? Naturally, it has to be a little exaggerated. Qiu Qiu interacted: "Guess, everyone, how long does it take to cook such a big piece of bread?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hong Tianjiu suddenly stood up and said: "Hey, Brother Li, don't say anything yet." He said and then said to everyone: "Everyone, today I am in charge, let's bet on how long this noodle pancake will take to cook. "
Gao Yanei's eyes lit up and he shouted loudly: "This is a good method."
Damn it! You, a profiteer, dare to rob my business. You must be so cruel. Li Qi opened his eyes, what a reward for this world.
Hong Tianjiu didn't care about Li Qi's feelings at all. He asked for a stick of incense, divided it into ten equal parts with charcoal, and then used charcoal to draw ten grids on a large table. Write one to ten to simplify the rules of the game. He said it over and over again, it was just that when the noodles were cooked and the incense was burned to whichever level, whoever bought this level would win. Hehe said: "Everyone, please place a bet. The more you buy, the more you will lose."
Who doesn’t love gambling? Everyone gathered around him.
Being ignored, Wu Xiaoliu said aggrievedly: "Brother Li, what should we do?"
"You go and kill Xiaojiu."
"What? I don't dare to do this."
"Shut up if you don't dare."
Li Qi's eyes were blazing as he stared at Hong Tianjiu, who was in a state of triumph. Suddenly, a thought came to his mind and he said to Wu Xiaoliu: "Liu Zi, do you know how long this incense needs to burn?"
Wu Xiaoliu nodded.
"Then do you know how long our noodles have to be cooked?"
Wu Xiaoliu nodded vigorously, as if he had guessed Li Qi's intention.
"That's fine."
Li Qi took out a piece of silver from his pocket, handed it to Wu Xiaoliu, and said, "Be high-profile."
"I know."
Li Qi sneered: "Xiaojiu, Xiaojiu, if you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."
Wu Xiaoliu walked over in a swaggering manner. He put the money on the first box and shouted: "Brother Li said that he also wants to come and play."
Hong Tianjiu's face tightened. But everyone's reaction was beyond Li Qi's expectation. Wu Xiaoliu had just put down the money. Those who had just placed the first bet immediately took their money back and put it in other places.
Go up the grid.
Holy shit! Li Qi almost stared out of his eyes, feeling like his character was being trampled on.
Hong Tianjiu snickered secretly in his heart and winked at Li Qi. He was very proud.
After the purchase was made, Hong Tianjiu put the incense on the second floor for the sake of fairness. Fan Shaobai and several guests went up to take care of it.
Li Qi sneered: "Master Jiu, can we start now?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare." Hong Tianjiu smiled proudly and said, "I just thought you were boring to boil water, so I came up with this way to relieve everyone's boredom."
"Master Li, let's start quickly."
Li Qi sighed. He really wanted to tell everyone that you were all tricked by Hong Tianjiu, but even if he did, no one would believe it. He nodded and said, "Okay, you can light the incense."
When the person above said "Okay," Li Qi immediately put the noodles into the pot and closed the lid. Wu Xiaoliu and Chen Xiaozhu also poured ten medium-sized pancakes into the chicken soup, mutton soup, and beef soup they had prepared earlier.
inside the bowl.
Today he mainly wanted everyone to try something new, so there was no need to put in enough fabric.
Seeing everyone's anxious and excited expressions, Li Qi thought, okay, this way, everyone can better appreciate the beauty of my instant noodles.
After a while, Li Qi lifted the lid of the pot and said, "It's done."
"Enough."
My jaw immediately dropped to the floor.
Fan Shaobai from upstairs shouted excitedly: "Xiao Jiu, you haven't burned the first grid yet."
Everyone's guts were filled with regret, and they all looked regretful. If they had known this, they should have placed a bet with Li Qi just now.
"Everyone accepts it." Hong Tianjiu raised his hands to the surrounding people and said boldly: "But don't be upset, everyone. I will use the money to treat you to Fan Tower and you will not come back until you are drunk."
He's not short of money, he just wants to have fun.
Everyone immediately turned from worry to joy and cheered loudly.
When Wang Yuanwai saw this scene, he almost burst into tears. You are in my shop, shouting that you want to go to another shop to treat guests. Are you so deceptive? What kind of feast am I hosting?
Li Qi ignored them and took out the noodles. He saw the golden noodles steaming, bouncing and splashing with water droplets, which was extremely tempting.
Zheng Yi, Cai Minde and Zhang Chun'er didn't care about gambling. Seeing how magical the noodles were, they were all shocked.
After Li Qi put the noodles into ten bowls equally, he took out a few cans of canned meat that had been prepared long ago from the basket, added a few pieces of meat to each bowl, and said, "Which of you will taste it first?"
Gao Yanei said without hesitation: "Of course it's our fourth young master."
That's true. Li Qi gave a wry smile and gave each of the four young masters a bowl. Then he handed a bowl to Zheng Yi, Zhang Chun'er, Wang Yuanwai, Cai Minde and two higher-status guests. He then said to the crowd:
"Don't worry, everyone, I still have it and I'll be fine soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, a bowl was suddenly stretched out and he said, "Brother, can you add some soup for me?"
Li Qi saw that it was Hong Tianjiu, and saw that there was only a lump of noodles left in the bowl. He was surprised and said: "Xiaojiu, I let you eat noodles, not drink soup."
Hong Tianjiu said hehely: "Brother, I am used to taking a sip of soup first, then adding more soup, and then eating noodles."
"This habit of yours is really beneficial. Anyone who does your business will definitely lose money."
Li Qi glared at him angrily and asked one of his disciples to add a bowl of soup to Hong Tianjiu.
Zheng Yi and others didn't even sit down, they just stood there and started eating. The delicious mutton soup had no smell at all, the noodles were chewy and chewy, and paired with the appetizing canned meat, it was a perfect match.
.
After Zhang Chun'er and Wang Yuanwai tasted it, they looked at each other and didn't know what to say.
Gao Yanei and Hong Tianjiu squatted directly in front of everyone, picked up the noodles and stuffed them into their mouths. The other people's eyes were straight and their saliva was almost flowing out.
It would be a waste for these two idiots not to become advertising models. Li Qi secretly laughed in his heart, and suddenly heard Zheng Yi say: "Master Li, what are your noodles made of, and why is it so chewy?"
Day. Talented person? Isn’t this a talented person? It’s easy to ask such a question, so I’ll stop you. Li Qi said sarcastically: “I’m sorry, I can’t tell you.”
Zheng Yi was stunned for a moment. Then he understood. He looked slightly embarrassed and nodded apologetically to Li Qi. Then he looked at the noodles in the bowl with a thoughtful expression.
After a while, Li Qi brought out ten bowls of noodles to the guests. Seeing that everyone was eating with gusto, he said loudly: "You have all seen now, how convenient this instant noodles are, and if they are placed in a sealed jar,
, it can be stored for a longer time. Not only that, when we sell this brand of instant noodles in the future, we will also give away seasonings.
You might as well think about it, if you are busy, or you are hungry at night, but you are too lazy to go out, you can just boil a pot of water, put the instant noodles in the pot, and you will be able to eat it in a short time, plus the ready-made canned noodles
The meat is a hundred times better than that inedible flatbread.
Also, when you go on a long trip, you can also bring some instant noodles and canned meat. If you are hungry, you can borrow some hot water nearby, or you can bring a small casserole and cook it in the wild without delaying your journey.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to eat delicious instant noodles again? This canned product and first-class instant noodles are definitely essential dry food for monks and travelers.”
Everyone nodded after hearing this. If you are traveling, especially on cold days, it is indeed a pleasure to have a bowl of hot instant noodles.
Wang Yuanwai couldn't bear it any longer. It was obvious that your advertisement was so bullying. He stood up and said, "Master Li, is it inappropriate for you to say this in a small shop?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and all their eyes were focused on Wang Yuanwai.
Zhang Chun'er frowned and sighed softly. Cai Minde beside him was watching the show with great interest.
Li Qi pretended to be surprised and said: "Mr. Wang, don't you want everyone to know more about our Tokyo food by holding this food feast? I thought that was the case. If not, then I am really sorry. I'm sorry. I
I won’t do it now, please don’t be angry.” As he spoke, he said to Wu Xiaoliu and others: “Take it, take it.”
Those who were waiting to eat were unwilling. A young man stepped forward and said, "Master Li, what do you mean? We haven't eaten yet, so you can't treat one favorably."
Li Qiwei said: "Master, this is all because of my carelessness and lack of consideration, so that I offended Mr. Wang. It is all my fault and has nothing to do with Mr. Wang. I am really sorry. Let's do this. If Mr. Wang likes this instant noodles,
, if you come to Zuixianju another day, I will make you a bowl for free."
When Zheng Yi heard this, he shook his head with a wry smile. This person is really very cunning. I really don't know how Sanmei can get along with him with his character.
When Gao Yanei, Hong Tianjiu and others saw this, they were about to make a fuss again, but were stopped by Fan Shaobai.
The young man's face darkened, he raised his eyebrows, glanced sideways at Wang Yuanwai, and said: "Wang Yuanwai, you are too small-minded. When you invited me to come, you said you could taste all the delicacies in Tokyo.
, I just came here, but Master Li just cooked a bowl of noodles, and you obstructed him in every possible way, what's the point of this?"
Another person heard: "Yes, and Master Li does it for us for free. It cannot be regarded as doing business in your store. Why not?"
.
Everyone complained that Mr. Wang was unkind and shouted at Li Qi to continue cooking.
Wang Yuanwai was sweating profusely in the face of everyone's condemnation and didn't know what to do.
Not enough success, more than enough failure. Zhang Chun'er glanced at Wang Yuanwai dissatisfied, then stood up and said with a smile: "Please be patient, I don't think Wang Yuanwai meant that. I remember two days ago, Wang Yuanwai told me that he
He sent people to Zuixianju to buy cans again and again, but he couldn't even buy a can. He felt very upset, but the clerk at Zuixianju said that they were all sold out, so there was nothing he could do about it. Now he saw Master Li.
I took out a few more cans, and I must have felt a little uncomfortable, so I said a few angry words, please don't take offense."
Wang Yuanwai nodded hurriedly and said: "Mrs. Zhang is right. I said Master Li, you are too. You only get a small amount of such good things to sell every time. If this instant noodles and that canned noodles are the same, you sell two
I won’t sell it for the rest of the day. I’m afraid that all the distinguished guests will anger the shop, so I feel it’s inappropriate for you to say these things in the shop.”
When the guests heard this, they felt that what they said was not unreasonable.
"Yes, Master Li, where did you get these cans of canned meat?"
Damn it! This woman really has two brushes. She just said a few words and the flames of war came to me. Li Qi cursed in his heart. But he smiled and said: "Of course these cans were made in the past two days. Let's make a
Canned food doesn’t take more than a month.”
"If that's the case, then why don't you sell it?"
Li Qi hurriedly said: "Don't be anxious, everyone, please listen to my explanation. We at Zuixianju are already rushing to make cans, but the quantity is too small now. If we sell them now, I'm afraid it won't take even a stick of incense."
I'm afraid you will be even more angry after being bought by others. I learned the lesson from last time, so I plan to make enough this time. I guarantee that I can continue to provide cans for everyone, and I hope you can give us Zuixian
Give yourself enough time to prepare.”
"What about this instant noodles? How many have you prepared?"
"Uh." Li Qi smiled and said: "Actually, there are even fewer instant noodles. It's the same as selling stinky tofu. I don't know if you will like this instant noodles. Besides, it was developed recently.
, so I dare not make more, but since everyone is so fond of this instant noodles, I hereby promise you that this brand of instant noodles will be launched after the year, and will be launched together with the canned noodles, and the canned noodles will be soaked.
Noodles, is that called a unique skill? Everyone says no."
Everyone listened to what Li Qi said was reasonable and nodded. At this time, Hong Tianjiu suddenly came over and whispered: "Brother, give me another bowl."
Li Qiyi said sternly: "Xiaojiu, how can you be so greedy? There are still so many people who haven't eaten. You have already tasted it, so naturally you have to let others eat first."
Everyone reacted immediately, looked at Li Qi gratefully, and then turned the flames of war towards Hong Tianjiu.
Hong Tianjiu is so wronged. I just want to eat a bowl of instant noodles. Do I need to say it so seriously?
This time even Gao Yanei didn't dare to come out to help. He was so weak.
Li Qi took the opportunity to let out a long breath and smiled at Yuan Wang: "Wang Yuan, let's continue cooking noodles."
"Of course, you can cook it for as long as you want." Although Wang Yuanwai said with a smile, almost every word came out from between his teeth.
But seeing bowls of hot instant noodles accompanied by Wang Yuanwai's pungent instant noodles being delivered to the guests, it was the first time for these people to eat this instant noodles. The food was delicious, but they only regretted that there was too little noodles.
Others have already begun to order the instant noodles and canned food from Li Qi, but Li Qi is not in a hurry to agree to them because the price has not been set yet.
All signs indicate that Li Qi undoubtedly stole the show and became the biggest winner of this gourmet feast.
The noodles were cooked and Li Qi's task was completed perfectly. It was time to retire.
Although there were still many delicacies on the table, everyone was full after eating the noodles. Only a few people continued to taste the noodles. Most of them patted their bellies and followed Hong Tianjiu to Fanlou and returned without being drunk.
After leaving the Wang Tower, Li Qi asked Wu Xiaoliu to put some tools behind the carriage, and then asked them to go back first.
As soon as Wu Xiaoliu and others left, Mrs. Qin appeared. She sighed softly and said, "If I had known this, I shouldn't have come. You still offended everyone."
"Madam, what do you say? Didn't you see that I just kept apologizing to this person and that person? For someone as easy to talk to as me, why don't you find another one to show me?" Li Qi retorted.
This man really got an advantage and behaved well. Mrs. Qin shook her head in distress, waved her hands and said, "No more, let's go back quickly."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Li Qima slipping onto the carriage and getting inside.
Mrs. Qin asked in astonishment: "What are you doing?"
"Didn't you say go home?"
"But you're sitting inside, so where should I sit?"
"You can come in and sit, it's not impossible to sit down."
"You are a man, men and women cannot be intimate."
Before she finished speaking, Li Qi interrupted: "Wow! Madam, you really have double standards. Just now when you invited Brother Zheng to sit upstairs, you were proactive and enthusiastic, but you didn't say anything.
Men and women have stopped kissing each other, and now they are talking about this again. Madam, I think you are extremely hypocritical. Since you are unwilling to get in the car, I can’t force you. You should go back in the sedan chair. Maqiao,
let's go."
Mrs. Qin was completely stupid, where did I get the sedan? (To be continued.)
ps: The company asked me to go for a trip to the nearby countryside today, and I will probably come back very late, so the two chapters will be posted together and will be gone in the evening. In addition, since I came out in the middle of the night, there may be a lot of typos, so please forgive me.
