Facing the crowd's rush, Li Qi was both happy and depressed. What made him happy was that the price should not change. In fact, this was just his preliminary quotation, and there was still room for it, but he was deceived like this. How could he not be happy if he succeeded? But what made him depressed was that these envoys only yelled, and the more they yelled, the more fierce they were. Li Qi really wanted to tell them, no matter how nice you yell, I won't listen to you. , without signing a contract or paying a deposit, everything is empty talk.
Li Qi yelled at them for a while, then calmed down their excitement and asked them to go back and discuss it carefully. He also asked them to prepare a deposit and come back tomorrow to discuss the specific matters in detail.
After coming out of the wine cellar, Liang Shicheng deliberately walked behind Li Qi and said with a smile: "Li Qi, how much can we earn from this barrel of wine? Don't get me wrong, our family is just doing this to report to the emperor later."
Damn eunuch, what else do you have in your eyes besides money? Li Qi smiled and said: "Of course I know this. In fact, I don't want to hide it from the eunuch. Now I don't know, because there are many factors involved, such as tolls and taxes, but on average I can always make twenty or thirty guan."
One barrel can earn twenty guan, ten barrels two hundred guan, one hundred barrels two thousand guan, and ten thousand barrels. Liang Shicheng’s eyes flashed and he said cheerfully: "I didn’t expect that this wine can make so much money. Our family used to really underestimate it." This is business."
Wow! Your greed is enough for me to earn for several months. Li Qi smiled and didn't answer.
Liang Shicheng said again: "Oh, what does the Korean envoy want to do with you?"
Li Qi said truthfully: "He wanted me to introduce him to the emperor, and I don't know if his brain was broken. It's really puzzling that such a big matter would come to me, a small official."
In fact, Liang Shicheng had already guessed it when he met Pu Zhiqian and the others just now, so he believed Li Qi's words and said, "So, you didn't agree to him?"
Li Qi shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter whether I agree or not. What matters is that I don't have the ability."
Who dares to look down on you now? Liang Shicheng nodded and said: "Li Qi, we might as well tell you a piece of news. We cannot agree to this matter under any circumstances, and we must not mention it in front of the emperor, otherwise the emperor will be unhappy. "
A chamberlain is a chamberlain. I'm afraid he knows what color the emperor is wearing. Li Qi nodded and said, "I know that."
.
Liang Shicheng thought that the purchase and sale negotiation would only take a few hours, no more than a day at most, but he never imagined that in addition to price, there were many other issues to discuss. And with so many buyers, how could the deal be settled at once?
This marathon-like negotiation was finally concluded on the 13th, and the contract was officially signed. However, this contract could only be regarded as part of the contract. After all, they had to bring the wine to their emperor to taste before making the final decision. But even so, the Liang Shicheng and the envoys from various countries were exhausted. On the contrary, Li Qi did not seem so tired. For him, for such a big deal, this negotiation was relatively fast.
As for the profit, although it is not very clear yet, you must know that the buyer is from a country or a vassal state. The benefits can be imagined, and it is still a steady stream. Although Zuixianju only has a 10% profit, it is still very generous. , of course, this is just on the books, Li Qi will definitely not be satisfied with this. As an elite of later generations, it is natural to make money.
After signing the contract, Li Qi and Liang Shicheng went to the palace to meet the emperor. When Song Huizong heard what Li Qi said about the minimum profit, he laughed so hard that he kept praising Li Qi for his ability, and also praised him and Liang Shicheng.
He is his right-hand man. These words made Boss Li Qi feel uncomfortable. As his right-hand man, isn't this just calling him a eunuch?
After a restless day at home, it’s already the Lantern Festival.
It was already noon when Li Qi got up from bed, so he had to have lunch together. Of course, this was a very unhealthy practice and could only be done occasionally.
After dinner, he stayed in his room to prepare for the group company's affairs.
I don't know how long it took, but Bai Qiannuo's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, "Brother, brother."
Why is this girl here? Isn't today the Lantern Festival? Li Qi thought he was hearing hallucinations. He was stunned for a moment before he answered, got up and opened the door. He saw Bai Qiannuo standing in front of the door slim and curious.
"Qiniang, why are you here?"
Bai Qiannuo pouted and said, "Can't I come?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Of course not, but I thought you would be at home with your parents during the Lantern Festival today."
Bai Qiannuo said cheerfully: "My mother and I agreed that we would have lunch at home and dinner here."
"This strategy is worthy of praise." Li Qi chuckled, took her little hand into the house, squeezed it gently, it was still so soft and delicate, and said to himself, after not seeing each other for a few days, this girl is really getting longer and more juicy. Directly
He pulled her to sit on his lap and kissed her on the lips. Then Li Qi pecked Bai Qiannuo's red lips, and then started to work again with his big hands.
After a while, Bai Qiannuo was panting due to the pain, and she said angrily: "Brother, it's so bad. I've just arrived, so don't move."
Tsk tsk, it's plump again. Li Qi kept his hands on it and said hey: "Qiniang, it's been a long time since we had a discussion. As the saying goes, it's better to choose a day than to hit it. How about we review it now?"
Bai Qiannuo was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening. His face turned red with embarrassment. He quickly grabbed Li Qi's big hand, buried his head on his chest, and whispered: "Brother, it's daytime now, why are you..."
Li Qi smiled lewdly and said, "It's good during the day. I've never tried doing it during the day. How about we give it a try and just try it out. If it doesn't work, we won't do it next time."
"don't want."
"Little lady, you have entered the wolf's den, but it is not you who has the final say."
"ah!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Qiannuo immediately exclaimed. It turned out that Li Qi's big hand had already pressed on her plump and round breasts through her clothes. Bai Qiannuo grabbed the offending big hand tightly and said with tears in her eyes:
"Brother, please forgive me this time. I have to go to Xiangguo Temple to watch the Lantern Festival later."
Li Qi was now dominated by his lower body and said: "What's so good about a lamp? It can't compare to big brother. Just in case, just look at me."
"Brother."
Bai Qiannuo let out a coquettish cry, then pursed her lips and said: "I go to this lantern viewing party every year, and I have made an appointment with Sister Feng and Sister Hongnu. I came here just to ask you to accompany me.
.”
"That's it."
Seeing that she was not joking, Li Qi's mood was slightly affected. He immediately calmed down, took out his hand, put his arm around her waist and asked, "What conference did you just say you were going to?"
"The lantern viewing party! It's quite interesting. After a while, there will be many beautiful lanterns hanging on it, but you have to make a pair to get the lanterns. There is also a bounty." Bai Qiannuo introduced excitedly.
"Right right?" Li Qi said depressedly: "Qiniang, the eldest brother is only a cook and has the title of military attache. You asked me to go right to right. Isn't it a bit too difficult to be a good person?"
Bai Qiannuo put her arms around Li Qi's neck and said with a smile, "Big brother is not an ordinary cook. Big brother is the King of Kitchens with the Golden Knife."
Li Qi said with a grimace: "That's not even a cook."
Bai Qiannuo said softly: "So what? I think my elder brother's literary talent is much better than those of those imperial students. Just rely on those three words of absoluteness and the phrase 'without seeing the tombs of the heroes of Wuling, without flowers and wine, the fields are cultivated'"
, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. I also want my eldest brother to help me win lanterns."
The second most talented woman in Tokyo asked me to help her win a pair of cards. What's going on in the world? Li Qi felt that his outlook on life was a little upside down. But then again, his woman was so confident in herself.
Even if you are trying to make yourself fat, you still have to win. His expression changed and he said with great enthusiasm: "Qiniang, winning a lantern doesn't matter, why don't I make one for you? Let's play poker at home. Whoever loses will win."
Taking off some clothes will make you feel wet."
"Brother."
"Okay, okay, stop yelling. If you call me brother again, I will really help you to be punished on the spot. Brother will go with you." Li Qi said and said shamelessly: "But Qiniang, you know that brother is a pretty person."
Keep a low profile and don't like to be in the limelight. You are already well-known anyway. Otherwise, how about you help me win the paper later?"
Bai Qiannuo chuckled and said: "That's okay, as long as you accompany me. Then we have to eat early. By the way, brother, what good dishes have you prepared today?"
After Li Qi heard this, he was completely stunned.
Seeing that Li Qi suddenly became dumbfounded, Bai Qiannuo hurriedly asked: "Brother, what's the matter?"
Li Qi glanced at her and said sadly: "Qiniang, eldest brother made an unforgivable mistake. I actually forgot the second most important thing in my life."
Bai Qiannuo was startled, her face became serious, and she said, "What's the matter?"
"make money."
Li Qi cheered and said depressedly: "I have prepared today's dishes a long time ago, but recently I was so overwhelmed by Tian Xia Wushuang that I forgot about it. Now Zui Xianju is still here
With my New Year’s Day dishes, my God, I really made a mistake and regretted it for eternity.”
"So this is what happened, it really scared me to death." Bai Qiannuo patted her chest and said, "Brother, you have made so much money, it's just for this day, what does it matter?"
Li Qi sighed heavily and said: "Qiniang, money is a trivial matter, but fame and honor are important. The king of chefs, on this occasion of the Lantern Festival, he did not introduce new dishes. This is really unbearable for my uncle, and intolerable for my aunt. My eldest brother is really
I’m too embarrassed to see anyone.”
Bai Qiannuo pursed her lips and smiled, then suddenly pecked Li Qi on the lips and said, "You can make it for me, Sister Hongnu, and Sister Wang. We will be your most loyal customers for the rest of our lives."
This is really heartwarming, but why do you need to add the wife? This little girl is really getting more and more evil. Li Qi sighed: "This can't make up for the regret in my heart."
Bai Qiannuo rolled her eyes at him, blushed and whispered, "If not, I won't go back tonight."
Li Qi's eyes lit up, he suppressed a smile, and said seriously: "Qiniang, you are so kind to me, but I think my bed is too small. It's quite crowded for the two of us to sleep in, but Hong Slave's bed is quite big."
, how about we go to sleep with the red slave, and you can sleep more comfortably."
Bai Qiannuo was stunned for a moment before she realized what she was doing. She curled her lips and said, "Who said I slept with you? I meant sleeping with Sister Hongnu."
Li Qi hehe said: "I also want to sleep with Sister Hongnu."
"You are causing trouble, I won't talk to you anymore." Bai Qiannuo slapped him, and after a moment, she couldn't help but ask: "Brother, you just said that making money is the second most important thing, then the first important thing is
What?"
"Of course it's you." Li Qi said without any hesitation, extremely seriously, and added in his heart, and my little red slave.
Bai Qiannuo's heart felt sweet, she leaned into Li Qi's arms, played with the corner of her clothes, and whispered: "Brother, what are you planning to cook later?"
When Li Qi heard this question, his eyes turned red and he said heartbrokenly: "Tangyuan, the best glutinous rice balls."
