This first game was so intense that everyone watching it felt like they were on a roller coaster, thrilling, and the suspense was not revealed until the last moment, and there was also a big upset, which made people excited.
Of course, the shameless tricks of Guard Horse have been criticized by many people, but more people support Guard Horse. I believe that next time there is a Guard Horse competition, more people will go to watch it.
On the evening of the end of the competition, there was a wave of consumption climax in the capital. Those who had won money began to swagger on the streets and swagger through the market, while those who had lost money could only hide under the quilt and cry.
However, the biggest winner is Hongwan Gambling House. Although the outcome is almost the same, they still make a lot of money with the odds and handling fees. You know, this is still the first game.
Moreover, the holding of the Cuju competition has also brought wealth to a large number of people. For example, the merchants selling things around the Cuju field are good representatives. Their harvest on that day is enough to cover their usual monthly income.
, the entire Tokyo economy seems to be recovering at an accelerated pace.
Li Qi doesn't have time to care about this now, because the employees of Zuixianju are very tired during the Chinese New Year, and with the establishment of the group company and the start of foreign trade, they will be even busier in the future, and there is probably no rest this year.
time, so he planned to take advantage of this opportunity to let everyone relax for two days.
In the season when everything revives, spring outing is undoubtedly the best outdoor activity.
On the second day of the opening game, Zuixianju posted a notice and closed for one day. In addition, invitations were sent out based on the member list.
In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was still bright, people were already standing at the entrance of Zuixianju. Due to the experience from the last time, the scene was still in order this time even though Li Qi hadn't come yet.
There were nearly twice as many regular customers coming this time than last time, and it was so dark that it almost caused a traffic jam when standing in front of the door.
What surprises most passers-by is that almost all of the followers standing here have a hoe or a big shovel in their hands.
After a while, Li Qi rode slowly on a calm donkey, followed by Brother Maqiao and Zhang Runer.
Seeing Li Qi coming, Xiaoyu hurriedly greeted him and said, "Brother Li, everything is ready."
Li Qi first bowed his hands towards everyone and said hello, and then said: "Is everyone here?"
"I don't know the details of this, but Gao Yanei and the others don't seem to be here."
"Yeah?"
Li Qi glanced at the crowd, but he really didn't find the group of idiots. He pondered for a moment and said, "Don't wait for them. They know the place anyway, let's go."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of rapid horse hooves in the east.
Li Qi turned around and rolled his eyes, Damn it, come again, damn it. When will these idiots learn to obey traffic rules?
Along with the billowing dust, the gang of young masters headed by the fourth young master came galloping over on horseback.
The most impressive person is Hong Tianjiu. He is seen holding a hoe in one hand behind his back. He is really a farmer's version of Zhao Zilong.
Xu Xu.
In a blink of an eye, they arrived in front of Li Qi.
Gao Yanei was riding on his horse, glanced around and said, "Why didn't Song Yuchen and the others come? I want to compete with them again."
Li Qi smiled and said, "He came to bow to me."
"That's right, how could I have forgotten this?" Gao Yanei chuckled.
Hong Tianjiu jumped off his horse and went straight to the donkey cart pulling the goods. He saw several stone slabs placed on it. The short ones were only one meter long. The long ones were three or four meters long, but only two or three centimeters thick. , couldn't help but wonder: "Brother, what are these stone slabs used for?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "This is for cooking."
Cooking? Cooking on a slate? This is incredible.
Everyone gathered around, wanting to see what the difference was about this stone slab.
Hong Tianjiu clapped his hands and said excitedly: "Don't you want to use the stone slab as the pot and the hoe as the spoon? Brother, you really deserve to be the King of Kitchens with the Golden Knife. This is such a wonderful idea."
After everyone heard this, they really believed it and looked at Li Qi with wide eyes.
This Xiaojiu is really a headache. Li Qi broke into a cold sweat and said: "Xiaojiu, you have such a rich imagination. What you said about the use of this slate is not wrong. It can indeed be said to be used for making things." It’s a pot, but this hoe has nothing to do with it.”
Only one person was heard asking: "Then why did you ask us to bring this hoe?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "I asked everyone to bring hoes because I want you to plant fruit trees in the wild."
"Planting fruit trees?"
Everyone's faces were blank.
Gao Yanei said angrily: "You asked me to plant trees? This is really unreasonable."
Li Qi explained: "There are three reasons why I arranged this. First, since it is spring, we naturally have to do some spring-related and meaningful things, and planting and sowing are a major feature of spring. I think if If you can experience it in person, you can better appreciate the charm of spring; secondly, it can relieve everyone's boredom, and you can also learn a lot; thirdly, it can make the food below more delicious."
Hong Tianjiu frowned and said, "The first two points are easy to understand, but what does the last point mean?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "You are all people with status and status. You have never eaten any fruit, but there is a kind of fruit that I believe most of you have never eaten."
Hong Tianjiu asked hurriedly: "What's the result?"
"That's what you grew yourself." Li Qi began to fool around: "It's also a pear or a peach, irrigated with your own sweat. It's definitely the most delicious fruit in the world." After a pause, he continued: " In fact, the place we are going to today is the land that I rented a few days ago. I plan to build an orchard on it. When the harvest season comes, everyone can come and taste the fruits you grow yourself. This feeling is really amazing. It speaks for itself.”
Everyone nodded frequently after hearing this. They had never eaten the fruits they grew.
Li Qi continued to fool around: "There is another point, and that is the legendary delicacy in the food industry."
Illusion delicious?
Hong Tianjiu heard this and asked quickly: "What is the delicacy of illusion?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "It's very simple. The so-called illusion of deliciousness is that when a person is in a hungry state, the body will automatically reduce its taste requirements. For example, a bowl of ordinary white rice may feel like that to you. But When you are hungry, you will feel that this bowl of white rice is simply delicious on earth. This is a sensory illusion. In other words, this delicious illusion can increase the taste of a dish several times or even dozens of times. Later After everyone has experienced the charm of nature, let’s taste the food cooked below. You might as well imagine how delicious it will be if the taste of the food cooked below is improved several times.”
Everyone was swallowing their saliva as they listened, racking their brains to imagine the ethereal and ethereal deliciousness.
Xiaoyu and Wu Furong, who knew the inside story, were stunned when they heard Li Qi's words. They admired Li Qi's eloquence in their hearts. You just wanted these people to help you plant trees, but they didn't.
There are so many great truths to be drawn.
"Good. What an illusion. Delicious, interesting, really interesting."
Li Qi looked up and saw that it was Cai Minde who was speaking. He was surprised and said, "I didn't expect that Cai Yuanwai is here too."
Cai Minde laughed and said: "Cai is also a gold member of your store. This time I came here more to learn from Mr. Li. Cai happened to have bought several orchards a few days ago." He said and looked towards him.
Li Qi squeezed his eyes a few times.
"Ahem, cough, cough." Li Qi coughed a few times and said with a smile: "Commissioners are too modest, too modest. Learn from each other, learn from each other." He thought to himself, unexpectedly, he still failed to fool this old fox.
Hong Tianjiu nodded and said: "It makes sense, it makes sense. After I finished playing Cuju, whatever I ate tasted very delicious. It turns out that this is called the illusion of deliciousness."
It seems that he passed the test. Li Qi wiped his sweat and said: "If you have no doubts, let's set off."
A large group of people set off from Zuixianju.
The location for this spring outing was arranged in the eastern suburbs. Since the land that Li Qi rented from Cai Jing and others was not a complete piece, with one piece in the east and one in the west, it was spread around the capital, so Li Qi divided the land into orchards.
, the place they are going to today is the "pear garden", which is used to grow pears.
The scenery along the way was endless. After walking for about half an hour, they came to an open area with endless greenery and pleasant scenery. Everyone pointed at the surrounding scenery and talked, feeling very comfortable.
After walking for a while, we saw a garden surrounded by wooden fences from a distance. Because the garden was so big, we couldn't visually tell how big it was, but we could vaguely see seedlings inside, facing the spring breeze.
growing up healthily.
"Everyone, we are here."
Everyone got out of their cars one after another and walked towards the garden.
When I came to the door, I saw a rough wooden plaque hanging on it with the word "Liyuan" written on it.
At this time, an old man came forward and bowed: "Proprietor, you are here."
These people are the fruit farmers invited by Li Qi. Although employment relationships have emerged these days, most farmers are still tenant farmers. The so-called tenant farmers are the main bearers of feudal land rent exploitation. They pay land rent, perform various labor services, and suffer
Heavy exploitation.
But Li Qi will not do this. This time he recruited experienced farmers on a large scale. All contracts are based on employment relationships, and the remuneration is generous. After tax is deducted, they can also get part of the remuneration. This is why Li Qi can be so short-term.
Hundreds of fruit farmers can be recruited within a few days.
To Li Qi, the salary of a hundred people is really a drop in the bucket. Once the orchard has a good harvest, he will earn more than a thousand times the profit. After all, he is still the biggest winner.
Li Qi hummed and said with a smile: "How are the recent plantings going?"
"Don't worry, proprietor, everything is fine."
"That's good."
The old man said again: "But proprietor, a group of people came here just now, and they said they are your friends."
"who?"
"The old man doesn't know, but they all look like dignitaries, some male and some female."
"Where are the people?"
"inside."
"Okay, I get it now."
Li Qi nodded and said to Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, take everyone in first to unload the things, and I'll go take a look."
"yes."
Li Qi followed the old man to the innermost part of the garden and found a large group of people standing in the distance. They were none other than Song Huizong, the largest landowner in the Song Dynasty. In addition, there were Cai Jing, Wang Fu, Bai Shizhong and other ministers.
Li Qi was not surprised that they could come. What surprised him was that Master Li and Mrs. Qin were also among them.
