Since Li Qi made an appointment with Bai Qiannuo yesterday, they would go together to rescue the refugees outside the city today and select suitable candidates. Therefore, early this morning, Li Qi was ready to go out for the appointment, but he kept chattering with a look on his face.
of depression.
In fact, he really didn't want to bother with this. When he made this suggestion, the main reason was because of Bai Qiannuo. He just wanted to leave all these matters to Bai Qiannuo, and he would pay the least money and get the most.
return.
However, Bai Qiannuo is no idiot either.
She naturally knew Li Qi's wishful thinking, but how could such a good thing happen in the world, so she nixed Li Qi's idea of staying out of the matter in the cradle.
Li Qi also expressed strong protest against this.
Do you need to put in effort to spend money?
Is there any natural reason for this?
But Li Qi's protest was ignored by Bai Qiannuo. She only said one sentence, if we cooperate, we will do it, if we don't, we will break up!
Just seven simple words made Li Qi surrender.
As soon as Li Qi went out, he was almost hit head-on by Wu Furong.
"Uncle Wu, are you here to see me?" Li Qi asked curiously when he saw Wu Furong looking in a hurry.
Wu Furong nodded, looked at Li Qi's clothes, and asked: "Master Li, where are you going?"
Li Qi smiled slightly and said, "Go and do some errands outside the city."
"Outside the city?"
Wu Furong was stunned for a moment and said nervously: "Is there something important?"
Li Qi shook his head and said: "It's nothing important, just a trivial matter, just a trivial matter. By the way, what do you want from me?"
Wu Furong was startled for a moment, and then he remembered the purpose of coming to Li Qi, and said: "Oh, that's right, Mrs. Shicai asked Xiao Tao to come and invite you and I to come over."
"Ah? I have to go through the government again!"
Li Qi scratched his head and complained: "Madam, it's true that if anything happens, you can just come here by yourself, but you still have to make it so troublesome. It's really old-fashioned."
In response to Li Qi's complaints, Wu Furong decisively adopted the tactic of turning a deaf ear to the situation. He did not want to get involved in the grudge between Li Qi and his wife.
Seeing Wu Furong's strange expression, Li Qi wondered what he was thinking. He despised him in his heart and asked angrily: "Uncle Wu, do you know what's going on?"
Wu Furong shook his head and said: "Xiao Tao didn't tell me what the specific matter was, and I don't think she knew it, but she told me that yesterday Zhang Yuanwai from Yanglou went to the Qin Mansion to visit Madam. I think it must be related to this matter."
"Yang Lou?"
Li Qi frowned and thought for a while, and said in confusion: "Strange! Madam never cares about business matters. If it is about this matter, then Mr. Zhang should come to see you. If it has nothing to do with business, then Madam asked us to go,
It’s of no use either.”
Wu Furong shook his head and said: "Young master Li, I don't know. If it is a trivial matter, I can still make the decision. But for serious matters, I still have to ask my wife for instructions. Since Zhang Yuanwai has come forward in person, in my humble opinion, this matter will be decided."
Right and wrong are no trivial matters and cannot be decided by an old man."
"I see!"
Li Qi nodded and said: "It seems that this matter is very urgent, otherwise the member Zhang would not be in a hurry to find Madam."
Wu Furong nodded and said, "I think so too."
Li Qi squinted and thought for a while, but still had no clue, so he nodded and said: "In that case, let's go quickly."
"Then why don't you go outside the city?" Wu Furong hesitated.
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot about this!"
Li Qi patted his forehead, hesitated for a while, and said: "Forget it, it's just a small matter. It doesn't matter if I don't go. I'd better clarify this matter first."
Although he said this, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and said to himself: "Then the white lady will not break up with me just because of this matter, right?"
The two of them rushed to Qin Mansion as quickly as possible.
After the three of them exchanged pleasantries, Mrs. Qin asked: "Uncle Wu, do you know about Jade Xuan's Beicheng branch?"
Wu Furong nodded and said: "I have heard about this before, but it is said that it will not open until next month."
Mrs. Qin shook her head and said, "The branch was opened yesterday."
"What?"
Wu Furong exclaimed and asked: "Madam, is this serious?"
Mrs. Qin nodded and said: "Of course it is true. Yuanwai Zhang came to the house to tell me yesterday."
"Madam, did Yuanwai Zhang come here just for stinky tofu?" Li Qi suddenly asked.
A flash of surprise flashed in Mrs. Qin's eyes and she said, "Mr. Li, where did you learn about this?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "It's very simple. I once heard Uncle Wu say that Yang Tower was built when Emperor Renzong was in power. It has a history of more than eighty years and has been entrenched in Beicheng.
It can be said that it is a household name, and its status in Beicheng is so deep-rooted that no one can compete with it. In addition, the geographical location of Beicheng is not very good, so few people are willing to open a restaurant in Beicheng. There are no large-scale restaurants except Yanglou.
, there is only one branch in Fan Lou, but compared to other branches, Fan Lou’s branch in Beicheng is the smallest.
Logically speaking, if the flag of Jade Cuixuan was planted, Yang Lou would not be so panicked, so all this should be because of stinky tofu.
Nowadays in Tokyo, apart from us, only Jade Xuan can make stinky tofu, and the reputation of stinky tofu has already been established. Presumably the reason why Cai Yuanwai decided to open a month in advance was because he wanted to use stinky tofu to attack Yang Lou in Beicheng.
Judging from the fact that the branch of Feicui Xuan just opened yesterday, and member Zhang came to see it, I think Feicui Xuan must have achieved good results in the first battle yesterday, but..."
Having said this, Li Qi suddenly sighed.
"Just what?" Mrs. Qin asked hurriedly.
Li Qi shook his head and sighed: "It's just that I didn't think of this in advance. If I had thought in advance that Cai Yuanwai wanted to use stinky tofu to attack other restaurants, I should have slapped him more at that time. Alas, I was still too kind.
.”
After hearing this, Wu Furong suddenly felt dumbfounded and said: "Master Li, don't pay too much attention to it. The secret recipe of a dish sells for 1,500 guan. This is unprecedented. I think it's almost the same."
"Yes! He who is content is always happy. Alas!"
Having said this, Li Qi still felt very regretful.
Seeing Li Qi's remorseful look, Mrs. Qin shook her head helplessly and said, "Master Li is absolutely right. That member Zhang came here yesterday for the secret recipe of stinky tofu."
Li Qi smiled bitterly and said: "That member Cai had already expected this, so when he bought the secret recipe, he signed a document with me. Neither of us is allowed to sell the secret recipe to anyone else, not even my wife."
"What? There is also this matter, why have I never heard you talk about it?" Wu Furong said in surprise.
"Yeah?"
Li Qi smiled awkwardly and said: "I think - maybe I forgot."
Can you forget such a thing?
Wu Furong was immediately speechless.
Mrs. Qin said: "In this case, Mr. Li does not need to force himself. He will wait until I refuse Zhang Yuanwai tomorrow."
"No, don't rush to reject him first, let me think about it again."
Li Qi frowned and paced around the room, then suddenly stopped and said, "Madam, I will go to Beicheng with Uncle Wu first to understand the situation and what to do specifically. We will discuss it when we come back."
Mrs. Qin glanced at Li Qi suspiciously and nodded.
