Four hundred and fifty-ninth chapter image spokesperson
In the Song Dynasty, the New Year's Day meeting was held on New Year's Day, when hundreds of officials and envoys from various countries congratulated the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and wished them a happy new year. The New Year's Day meeting was grand in scale, solemn in ceremony, and had a complete etiquette system.
There will definitely be a banquet, and the royal dining room must be prepared in advance.
Damn it! I just gave myself a big holiday, and you come here to give me a task. It's too bullying. Li Qi felt extremely depressed and complained: "Brother Zuo, it's not that I'm being unreasonable, it's just that it's just before New Year's Day."
There is only such a grand banquet on the fourth or fifth day, and you are now telling me how I will prepare it. Aren't you deliberately trying to embarrass me? The chef is a human being too!"
When he thought about how his few days of vacation would be ruined again, his heart was bleeding and he felt tired even listening to it.
Zuo Boqing said apologetically: "Brother Li, actually I don't want to either. It's just because of your special status. You are not only the deputy manager of the imperial kitchen, but also a fourth-grade official."
That's right, I'm still an official. Li Qi was stunned and said: "In that case, I have to attend the New Year's Day party, so why do you ask me to help in the imperial kitchen?"
"Yes, that's what I thought at first." Zuo Boqing nodded, changed the subject, and said: "But who knew that someone came earlier this morning and told me that the dish of Buddha Jumping over the Wall would be added to the New Year's Day banquet.
, and I ordered you to do it yourself."
"Why is this?" Li Qi became more and more confused as he listened.
Zuo Boqing whispered: "I didn't react at first, but after asking around later, I found out that this has something to do with your appointment as the deputy of the bodyguard."
Li Qi frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Zuo Boqing sighed and said: "There has always been a New Year's Day court meeting with three ministers, three divisions, three provinces, Xuanhui Academy, Hanlin Academy, six ministries, Yushitai, Secretary's Department, and various ministers, as well as the court of various countries and vassals.
All the envoys will come to participate. Only Sanya will only send one person to participate."
Li Qidao: "Brother Qiu, oh no. Captain Gao."
"Yes, it's Captain Gao. I also heard that the emperor also wanted you to participate as an official envoy, but he encountered opposition from many people and had to give up. That's why he temporarily issued an order for you to go to the imperial dining room.
vegetable."
Since Guan Yanshi is a new official position and may not have been registered yet, this title is also unconvincing.
Damn it! I didn’t expect that the second-in-command of the bodyguard, Ma, was not as good as a few Juren.md. It’s too bullying. What’s so great about scholars? They’re just a few nerds with no power. What a rip-off.
Li Qi's face showed a hint of irritation. He was not angry because he was not qualified to attend the New Year's Day gathering, but he really felt unworthy for the military attachés of the Song Dynasty. They worked hard to achieve such a status. Although the remuneration of the Sanya was always very high.
Gao, especially the Fourth Army, is even more impressive, but so what. They have lost their face, how do you expect them to win the battle? He said lightly: "In addition to Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, what else do I need to cook?
?”
Zuo Boqing felt relieved when he saw him relenting. He hurriedly said: "Brother Li, you don't know something. The dishes at the New Year's Day party are basically fixed. But it is a tradition."
Li Qi interrupted him and said, "Brother Zuo, I really can't cook any of the traditional dishes you mentioned."
Zuo Boqing nodded and said: "I know that, so for the main course, you only need to make Buddha Jumping Over the Wall. In addition, for pastries, you have to make cream cake, and you have to prepare the unparalleled and milk tea."
This is quite easy, I think it can be done in two or three hours. Anyway, I don’t plan to take a rest on New Year’s Day. Li Qi’s face softened a little and said: “Brother Zuo, you know, I’ve been really busy these days.
I'm busy, so I have to ask you to help me prepare the materials."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, just say it, I'll ask someone to prepare it anyway."
That's true. Li Qi nodded, then invited Zuo Boqing to the private room of Zui Xianju, took pen and paper, and wrote a list of materials for him. Zuo Boqing saw that the list contained some very common items.
The materials, of course, were ordinary in his mind, but that was only compared to the imperial dining room.
After the two discussed it for a while, Zuo Boqing stood up and left. He had been very busy recently.
After Li Qi sent Zuo Boqing away, he went to the kitchen and handed the New Year dishes to Wu Xiaoliu and others. He also wrote a recipe for them and asked them to practice according to it. Regarding these dishes, Li Qi
It's so strange that he can make it with his eyes closed, and he can make it more familiar or not. After all, in future generations, he will have to do it once a year as usual.
After explaining everything, Li Qi immediately took his vacation. To be honest, he really felt that his body, even a hair on his head, was in a state of extreme exhaustion. This period of time had really kept him busy, and he was exhausted.
I can't remember how long it has been since I took a vacation.
****************
The next morning, Aunt Chen came to the door of Li Qi's room again. Just as she was about to disturb someone's dream, she suddenly found a wooden board in front of the door with several big characters written on it. She was illiterate, so she found another literate person.
The maidservant, the maidservant looked at the wooden board, her face was startled, and she said in a trembling voice: "Anyone who disturbs my sleep will be killed without mercy."
This is definitely not a joke. Li Qi has not experienced the feeling of sleeping until he wakes up naturally for a long time. He is very hungry. You must know that a hungry man can do anything.
Unknowingly, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and Li Qi had actually woken up a long time ago, but he didn't want to get up, and wanted to recall the feeling of staying in bed. He tossed and turned in the bed until the quilt was under the bed.
Then he reluctantly climbed out of bed. After washing up, he went to the kitchen to fill his five internal organs, and then wandered to the front yard. Far away, he saw Bai Qiannuo and Ji Hongnu.
The man was playing badminton, and his chest was filled with waves. He looked happy and walked over quickly.
When the two girls saw Li Qi coming, they quickly stopped and went to greet him. Ji Hongnu smiled and said, "Brother, get up."
Li Qi saw that the two girls were dripping with sweat, their faces were rosy, and their beauty was even brighter. Seeing such a beautiful scenery so early in the morning was really joyful. He pretended to be angry and said: "You two are so healthy playing badminton."
You didn’t even call me for the event, please be careful and take care of me later.”
"There is no serious person this early in the morning." Bai Qiannuo rolled her eyes at him shyly and said, "We wanted to call you, but with such scary words written on your door, who would dare to call you."
Sweating! I almost forgot about this. Li Qi smiled and whispered: "I was on guard against Mrs. Chen, and it has nothing to do with you."
Ji Hongnu chuckled and said, "Brother, Aunt Chen is illiterate, so Aunt Chen just asked someone else to see her."
"Ah? Can't read? It seems that next time I'll have to look at pictures instead." Li Qi chuckled and changed the subject: "Don't you two go to the academy today?"
Bai Qiannuo said: "We have no classes this morning, so we'll go in the morning."
Li Qi asked casually: "Is everything going well over there at the college?"
"Everything is fine, you can rest assured and take your vacation."
"I like to hear that." Li Qi said with a smile.
Bai Qiannuo suddenly asked: "By the way, brother, why did you take the initiative to give a cheongsam to that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law Xu?"
Li Qi asked in astonishment: "Who did you listen to?"
"I just went to Zhou's house. Yuanwai Zhou told me, and you asked Gao Yanei, Xiaojiu and the others to see you off. And Mrs. Sun, what do you want to do with this?" Bai Qiannuo raised her eyebrows.
Wrinkled lightly.
Huh? Why is there such a strong smell of jealousy? Li Qi knew that he must be cautious at this moment and said: "Actually, I did this to find them to be image spokespersons. As for why I called Yanei, Xiaojiu and the others went, you also know, like Big Brother
Such an upright man usually doesn't deal with those people."
Ji Hongnu asked curiously: "Brother, what is an image spokesperson?"
Li Qi didn't dare to make excuses. He honestly explained the concept of image spokesperson to the two girls.
"This is a good idea. I remember you used me like this on the day Zuixianju reopened." Bai Qiannuo said thoughtfully.
Sweat! Do you still remember? Li Qi said hey: "Use? Haha, Qiniang. What you said is serious, I just wanted to get close to you."
Bai Qiannuo pursed her lips and smiled, feeling inexplicably sweet in her heart. She curled her lips and said, "Who knows whether what you said is true or false?" After a pause, she added, "But you don't have to go to Mrs. Xu.
.”
Li Qi asked in astonishment: "Did she have any issues with you?"
Nora Bai Qian said with a long face: "That's not true, it's just that I don't like her very much."
Li Qi wondered: "Isn't she the same as Lady Feng?"
"How can she compare with Sister Feng? Sister Feng is kind-hearted, and is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. They are all real talents. That mother-in-law Xu is not as good as her. Moreover, I heard that mother-in-law Xu is always seductive.
." When Bai Qiannuo said it, his voice sounded like a mosquito moaning.
Sweat! I'm not Gao Yanei, Feng Yinu doesn't take it seriously, not to mention his mother-in-law Xu. Li Qi explained: "Qiniang, I am also doing this from the perspective of interests. To be honest, I am not even interested now."
I have never seen Mrs. Xu in person, but I think that if she can sit at the head of the hall, she must have two brushes, and her appearance is not too bad. The most important thing is that she is famous enough.
It's what we need most. If we look for an unknown junior, no one would want to see him wearing a cheongsam."
Bai Qiannuo pouted and said, "Then you can also go to Sister Feng. In terms of reputation, Mother-in-law Xu cannot compare with Sister Feng."
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said: "You can't say this to Lady Feng. She also knows it. She finally got rid of this title at the beginning of the line. Now that you let her get in, she will have to fight for me."
.”
Bai Qiannuo also knew this truth and said depressedly: "Then you must find Mrs. Xu."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "This is not certain, but for now, she is indeed the best candidate."
"Qiniang."
Suddenly, Mrs. Qin's voice came from the front hall door.
Li Qi turned around and his expression froze instantly. He saw Mrs. Qin standing in front of the door wearing a light yellow cheongsam, with her black hair tied up high. The light yellow cheongsam wrapped her plump figure tightly and her breasts were enlarged.
Her curvy butt and slender legs outline a wonderful curve of her body, and her fair and rosy face is indescribably charming.
It makes people sigh that the beauty of a woman is nothing more than this.
I didn't expect that Madam's figure would be so perfect. It seems that I had underestimated her before. Well, it's really big. Li Qi swallowed and tried his best to open his eyes wide.
When Mrs. Qin saw Li Qi, she looked stunned, turned around and went back to the house without saying a word, which was neat and tidy.
"What happened?" Li Qi asked confused.
Bai Qiannuo said dissatisfied: "It's all you. Just now, Sister Hongnu and I finally begged Sister Wang to wear this cheongsam, but you scared her away again."
"Scared away?" Li Qi asked in surprise: "Did I look scary just now?"
Bai Qiannuo and Ji Hongnu nodded in unison.
Even if this is the case, you can't blame me. If this is not rude, then I am still a man. Li Qi smiled cheekily and said: "Qiniang, Hongnu, please don't misunderstand me. I was actually thinking just now, what if
Madam, if she can agree to be the spokesperson for this cheongsam, that would be great."
"Then you'd better go find Mrs. Xu."
Bai Qiannuo said and pulled Ji Hongnu, "Sister Hongnu, let's go find Sister Wang."
