Chapter 57 Born to work hard

"Oh? There is such a thing? How could I not know?" Li Qi said "surprised".

Seeing that he was still holding on, Bai Qiannuo chuckled and said, "Your 'detour tactics' are so wonderful!"

At this moment, Li Qi was completely speechless. He had already seen that Song Yuchen was a big idiot, but he didn't expect that Song Yuchen would be such a idiot. No wonder he failed in picking up girls.

As everyone knows, Song Yuchen is usually very smart and quick-thinking, but when he meets Bai Qiannuo, he is like a tofu in a piece of cake. One thing is worthless, and he can only be beaten passively.

In the past few days, Song Yuchen adopted Li Qi's suggestion and began to use roundabout tactics to please the people around Bai Qiannuo, and achieved good results.

But the second most talented woman in Tokyo did not have a deserved reputation. Bai Qiannuo suddenly saw that everyone around him was praising Song Yuchen, and he knew that there must be something weird in it, so he gave Song Yuchen a few smiles and then made innuendoes.

When Song Yuchen saw that Bai Qiannuo's attitude towards him had changed drastically, he was so elated that he almost felt his heart coming out.

Bai Qiannuo tried some more tricks. How could Song Yuchen resist? So he told Bai Qiannuo all about the conversation he had with Li Qi at Jade Pavilion that day.

"How's it going? Have you got nothing to say?" Bai Qiannuo asked with a smile when he saw Li Qi was speechless.

At this point, Li Qi couldn't help but deny it. He nodded and said: "Yes, I did something wrong in this matter. Well, you don't need to thank me anymore. We are even."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Qiannuo suddenly bowed and saluted, "My little lady, I would like to thank Mr. Li very much."

When Li Qi saw this, he couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Hey, White Snake, do you really want me to apologize to you?"

Bai Qiannuo smiled and said: "I have always been clear about grudges. Besides, these are two different things and cannot be confused."

"You are cruel enough!"

Li Qi completely admitted his defeat, bowed his head to the end, and said: "If I have offended you in any way, I hope that the White Snake will forgive me. I'm sorry!"

Bai Qiannuo, who had regained the victory, immediately smiled and nodded: "Okay! For the sake of your sincere apology, I will forgive you this time, but if you let me do it again next time

If I knew you were secretly slandering me, I wouldn't just let it go."

md! Even if you put a knife to my neck next time, I won't do such stupid things.

Li Qi rolled his eyes and snorted angrily.

Seeing his angry look, Bai Qiannuo covered her lips and chuckled.

During the conversation, all the steamed buns brought by Bai Qiannuo were distributed. The refugees who had received the steamed buns came to Bai Qiannuo to bow and thank them.

"White Lady, you are truly a Bodhisattva-hearted person!"

"Thank you, White Snake——!"

...

Bai Qiannuo was slightly startled, then hurriedly stepped forward to help them up, and shouted: "Please get up quickly. How can a little girl bear such a big gift? Please get up quickly."

Myolie and the three servants also hurried over to help the refugees who were thanking them.

This move made Li Qi feel mixed emotions. He sighed and stepped forward to help them lift them up.

After they all stood up, Li Qi became excited and shouted loudly to everyone: "At this time tomorrow, White Snake will be here to distribute food. Remember to come early!"

This simple sentence made those refugees burst into tears of excitement, and they were about to fall to the ground and worship again. Fortunately, they were stopped in time by Li Qi and Bai Qiannuo.

After some persuasion, the refugees finally left one after another.

After all the refugees left, Li Qi sighed, glanced at Bai Qiannuo, and saw that she was looking at him blankly, and said with a smile: "You don't have to look at me like that, I can still afford it for a few steamed buns."

, but you’ll have to make a hard trip again.”

Bai Qiannuo opened her mouth, but couldn't speak. Her eyes were filled with complex expressions, and she finally whispered "Thank you" softly!

Li Qi joked: "If you really want to thank me, take me back. To be honest, I actually got lost and ended up here."

Bai Qiannuo was stunned and chuckled.

After instructing Xing'er to deal with the aftermath, Bai Qiannuo led Li Qi towards the city.

On the way, Li Qi saw the refugees on the roadside and asked curiously: "White Snake, where do these refugees come from?"

Bai Qiannuo sighed softly: "They used to be Song people who lived in the Liao Kingdom. Recently, the Liao Kingdom is at war with the Jin Kingdom, and their homeland has been occupied by the Jin Kingdom, so they fled here."

"I see!"

Li Qi also knew about this period of history. In the end, the Liao Kingdom was destroyed by the Jin Kingdom. He sighed and said, "It's a pity that our abilities are limited and we can only save them for a while."

"Let me help you as much as you can. The little girl just wants to have a clear conscience."

Bai Qiannuo sighed quietly: "It's a pity that the imperial court has only been focusing on recruiting soldiers and giving taxes recently, and there is no way it can help them."

"Count on the imperial court?"

Li Qi smiled disdainfully and said, "Then you might as well hope for steamed buns to fall from the sky."

Bai Qiannuo smiled slightly and said: "You really don't care about what you say, but what you said makes sense. They still have to rely on themselves in the end."

Do you have to rely on yourself in the end?

Li Qi frowned, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he smiled at Bai Qiannuo and said, "Bai Qiannuo, do you think it will be difficult to help a thousand people in one day, or to help twenty people in a lifetime?"

Bai Qiannuo was slightly stunned, obviously not knowing why Li Qi asked this, and replied: "Of course it is more difficult to provide relief for a lifetime. Why do you ask this?"

Li Qi Gao smiled deeply and said: "I want to do a business with you."

"Want to do business with me again?" Bai Qiannuo glanced at Li Qi warily and said, "If this is a fraudulent business, I advise you to find someone else."

Li Qi smiled bitterly and said: "Don't worry, I've got the money, and I won't let you sell pairs to that member Cai anymore. What I mean is, I'll pay, and you can help me select from this group of refugees."

Ten women and ten men, aged over fifteen and under thirty, must be healthy and of average appearance. You first find a place to settle them, and then you are responsible for teaching them how to read. I will give them

In one month, you just need to teach them some words about food, what do you think?"

When Bai Qiannuo heard this, he immediately understood and said, "Are you planning to let them go to Zuixianju to help?"

Li Qi's eyes flashed with praise, and he nodded: "Yes, that's what I meant."

Bai Qiannuo asked doubtfully: "But there are all men in the restaurant, why do you want a woman?"

"Don't worry about this, I have my own plan." Li Qi shook his head and said with a smile: "If you are willing, then do it. If you are not willing, then just pretend that I didn't say anything."

Bai Qiannuo frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Then how much silver do you plan to pay?"

After some calculations in his mind, Li Qi said: "One hundred taels. I believe it is enough to eat steamed buns. Of course, this also includes the money for tomorrow's steamed buns. You can arrange the specific distribution by yourself."

After hearing this, Bai Qiannuo always felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly understood and said with a slight smile: "You seem to have forgotten someone?"

"Who?" Li Qi asked in surprise.

Bai Qiannuo hummed: "You paid, but you also got people, but what about me? I helped you settle them, and taught them how to read, but what did I get?"

Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head and said: "That's wrong. Why are you helping me? You are helping Zuixianju, your wife, and those refugees. You always say that you and

Madam loves her sisters so she won't even be willing to help with this small favor."

Just kidding, it would cost a lot of money for Cai Yuanwai to ask you to write a couplet. How can I, Li Qi, have any extra money to hire you?

"Don't blame Sister Wang again. You just said you were doing business with me. Since it's business, of course we have to settle the accounts clearly." Bai Qiannuo raised the corner of her mouth and said slyly.

Why is this woman so shrewd? Didn’t people in ancient times believe that a woman’s lack of talent is a virtue?

Li Qi muttered to himself and said: "Then tell me first what conditions you have, but I have to make it clear beforehand that I only have so much money. If you want to get some benefit from it, then you can

Give those refugees only one meal a day, one steamed bun, and I believe you can make fifty or sixty taels from it."

"Bah! I'm not as mean as you."

Bai Qiannuo's cheeks were dizzy and she spat, "Don't worry, I don't want to be greedy for your money."

No money? That’s easy to say.

Li Qi chuckled and said, "You can't be someone who is greedy for me, right?"

Bai Qiannuo frowned and said angrily: "If you keep talking nonsense, I will not do this business with you."

"Hey, you're just joking, you don't have to take it seriously, okay, I won't tell you, you tell me."

Bai Qiannuo rolled her eyes at him and said: "My request is very simple. First, you must treat them well; secondly, when Zuixianju's business improves in the future, you must come to help these refugees more often; finally, these twenty

Personally, how can I, a woman, take care of you, so you must also help."

"The first two requests are no problem, but the third one," Li Qi pretended to be embarrassed and said, "You know, the rise and fall of Zuixianju now rests on me alone, and I'm busy right now.

Seriously, even the trip to the hut must be planned one day in advance."

"Then you'd better hire another Gao Ming." Bai Qiannuo said lightly. She obviously wouldn't believe Li Qi's nonsense.

Li Qi saw his expression of indifference and curled his lips. Now that Zuixianju is about to open, it is the time to employ people, and these people are in their most difficult period. If you are willing to give them a bite of food,

Eat, they have to work hard to help you, and the most important thing is that no woman in the city is willing to work in the restaurant. After weighing it in his mind, he nodded and said: "Okay, okay, I promise you, who

I was born to work hard."

"That's pretty much it." Bai Qiannuo pouted and said.

"So you agreed?"

"Huh, just think of it as helping Sister Wang."

"Didn't you just say that business is business? Why are you talking about helping my wife now?"

"You--just walk back by yourself, I won't pay attention to you."

"Damn! No, what the hell is this place? Hey, don't run away!"
