Li Qi hurriedly stood up and stopped Bai Qiannuo, saying: "Sister Bai, please calm down first. Yes, I did something wrong in this matter. I will apologize to you first." After saying that, he really moved towards Bai Qiannuo.
Qiannuo bowed and apologized.
Bai Qiannuo couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Li Qi admitting her mistake in a low voice, and the expression on her face softened a little, but she would not just let Li Qi go. She snorted coldly, tilted her head, but stopped.
Stopped.
Li Qi had long known in his heart that Bai Qiannuo would not just leave like this. If she really didn't want to do this business with him, then she could just hand over the money directly to Wu Xiaoliu. Why bother with this?
Doing it is just to regain some face.
Li Qi didn't have much, that is to say, he had enough face, so he sent them in batches.
"White Lady, I didn't go to the appointment today. In fact, I had no choice but to come. Come on, please sit down first and I'll explain it to you slowly." Li Qi said with a sincere face.
Okay! I want to see what story you are going to make up to deceive me today.
Bai Qiannuo found an excuse for herself, snorted and sat back.
Li Qi was greatly relieved when he saw her. He hurriedly sat down opposite her and sighed. His face was full of grievances and he said pitifully: "You don't know something. I didn't sleep well last night. I'm so afraid."
Delaying the white lady from doing good deeds————.”
"Then Young Master Li is in very good health! He didn't sleep well last night, but he is still so energetic now." Bai Qiannuo sneered, how could she be fooled by Li Qi like this?
Yeah! I said it! Li Qi suddenly had an idea and said with confusion on his face: "I don't know why. I was dozing off just now. Unexpectedly, when I saw White Lady, I suddenly felt full of strength and my waist was tight."
My legs are sore, my legs no longer hurt, and I feel energetic. Could it be that White Snake, you are the reincarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva?"
Bai Qiannuo twitched the corner of his mouth, holding back his laughter. He rolled his eyes at Li Qi and said, "Don't talk nonsense here. If you offend the Bodhisattva, I won't care. Also, if you do this again,
If you're rambling here and there, I'd better leave."
"Don't! I said, I said."
Li Qiqian laughed a few times and said: "The thing is like this, when I was preparing to go out this morning, Madam's maid Xiaotao suddenly came. She said that Madam asked me to come over to the house. When I heard that, I immediately refused sternly.
, can a big thing be bigger than doing good deeds with White Snake? But then Uncle Wu came again. He said that this matter was related to the rise and fall of Zuixianju, and begged me to come over. Alas! You know,
I have always respected Uncle Wu, and he even begged me. At that age, how can I have the nerve to refuse him? Alas! It’s really embarrassing for me!”
What a powerful mouth. He obviously wanted to put all the blame on Sister Wang and Uncle Wu, but he also said how wronged he was.
Bai Qiannuo shook her head helplessly, but she knew that what Li Qi said was not all lies. Based on the relationship between her and Mrs. Qin, the merits of it, she would know if she asked, Li Qi would not be stupid enough to use Mrs. Qin.
Using this pretense, he said calmly: "Since Sister Wang invited you over, I think there must be something urgent. You should put the overall situation first. However, you have to ask someone to inform me in advance."
"Yes! I originally thought so too, but then I thought about it. It would be such a great honor to be able to accompany White Snake to do good deeds. Many people can't even ask for it. How could I miss it so easily?
, and it was still early at the time, so I wanted to go to the Qin Mansion quickly to find out the matter, and then rush to find you, but who would have thought - alas!" At this point, Li Qi suddenly sighed heavily.
Bai Qiannuo's face tightened and she quickly asked: "What happened? You should tell me quickly! Did something happen to Sister Wang?"
An imperceptible smile flashed in Li Qi's eyes, but with a solemn expression on his face, he sighed: "I thought Madam was just making a fuss, but I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived at the house, I realized that this matter was really serious.
It’s no small matter, and to tell you the truth, when I heard it, I was totally stunned.”
Bai Qiannuo asked anxiously: "What on earth is that?"
"Uh---this---these are just some common business matters. Madam Bai is definitely not interested in knowing." Li Qi said with a smile, but thought in his mind, just kidding, these are all business secrets, how can I
Let me tell you, I have to remind my wife later not to let the news leak out.
Bai Qiannuo didn't know what he meant, so she curled her lips and snorted disdainfully.
Li Qi secretly laughed in his heart and continued: "Uncle Wu and I have been busy working on this matter for a whole day. Alas, actually this is all my fault. Once we got busy, we forgot everything."
This is quite the truth. In the past, Li Qi was often so busy that he even forgot his wife's birthday. He was a complete workaholic.
"Of course it's your fault. Don't think that if you just say something nice, I will forgive you." Bai Qiannuo snorted. In fact, she had already forgiven Li Qi in her heart, but she just couldn't let go of her face.
"Of course, of course, you can never forgive me so easily, otherwise I won't even be able to pass my own test." Li Qi said righteously.
"Um?"
Bai Qiannuo was stunned and looked at Li Qi suspiciously.
Li Qi chuckled a few times and said: "In order to make up for my major mistake, I specially prepared a dish for you. Although it is not an expensive delicacy, you have never eaten it before, and you have never eaten this dish.
People’s mood will also become happier accordingly.”
A dish that can make people happy? This aroused Bai Qiannuo's curiosity, and asked in confusion: "Is there such a dish? How come I have never heard of it?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "This is my latest development. Of course you have never heard of it."
"real?"
"Of course it's true. I just asked Liuzi and the others to buy materials. I guess they will be here soon. Please wait a moment."
Bai Qiannuo nodded doubtfully.
After about a stick of incense, Wu Xiaoliu and the others finally arrived.
Li Qi smiled at Bai Qiannuo and said, "Sister Bai, please come here and sit down first. I'll be back soon."
Bai Qiannuo nodded expectantly.
When he came to the kitchen, Li Qi looked at the big basket in front of him. He wanted to cry without tears. He said angrily to Wu Xiaoliu: "Liuzi, okay! I'll ask you to buy some. You'd better buy all the baskets."
Bought for you."
Wu Xiaoliu said aggrievedly: "You didn't elaborate. How could I know how much I would buy? If I buy less, it would ruin your business, and you would have to scold me again."
Brother Zhuzi and Chen Anan also nodded, expressing their support for Wu Xiaoliu's statement.
Li Qi looked at these apprentices, sighed, and said: "That's alright. Don't you always say that I won't teach you how to cook? Well, anyway, I can't use up all the materials here. Just wait a minute.
Just follow me."
This is really a blessing in disguise!
Wu Xiaoliu said happily: "Brother Li, what are you going to teach us to do?"
Li Qi raised the corner of his mouth and said, "I want you to make a dish that is essential for picking up girls."
"Pick up girls?"
Except for Wu Xiaoliu, the other three people all had blank expressions on their faces.
Wu Xiaoliu said proudly: "Haha! Don't you know? Picking up girls means pursuing the woman you love. Do you understand?"
Swish, swish, swish!
When Brother Zhuzi and Chen Anan heard this, their three simple little faces turned red immediately. Although they were about the same age as Wu Xiaoliu, they were not as precocious as Wu Xiaoliu.
Li Qi did not deny it and said with a smile: "You don't have to be shy. You will always experience these things in the future anyway."
"By the way, Brother Li, are you ready to pick up that white lady?" Wu Xiaoliu approached Li Qi and said with a smile.
"Dip your head!"
Li Qi's tiger body was shaken, and he hit Wu Xiaoliu hard on the head with a move called "Arrogance and Regret".
"Ouch!"
Wu Xiaoliu covered his head and shouted.
Li Qi reprimanded: "Let's see if you dare to talk nonsense in the future." But he thought in his heart that this was a pretty good suggestion.
Wu Xiaoliu shook his head vigorously with a sad face.
Li Qi ignored him and quickly picked out some high-quality products from the basket and placed them on the table one by one.
Wu Xiaoliu and the others also followed suit and chose their own ingredients. Even Chen Anan, who had never been interested in cooking, also started cooking. It seemed that it was all the fault of 'picking up girls'!
Li Qi first carefully washed the fruits with water, then scooped a tablespoon of honey into a small bowl, then squeezed some orange juice, poured the orange juice and honey into a bowl, and then added a little more
hot water and stir evenly.
Then he picked a smaller sharp knife and began to peel and core the fruits.
The knife seemed to have spirituality in Li Qi's hand, it was so fast and accurate that Wu Xiaoliu and the others were dazzled by it.
After a while, all the fruits revealed their tender and delicious flesh.
Then Li Qi showed Wu Xiaoliu how to cut straight, pull, and roll into small pieces, such as pears, pears, and oranges, in different shapes, such as rhombus, square, circle, etc.
The whole set of movements was done smoothly and in one go. It took less than seven or eight years of effort and it was absolutely impossible to do it.
Wu Xiaoliu and the others looked on in shock. Only now did they know why Li Qi urged them to practice knife skills.
After cutting them, Li Qi mixed all the fruits together and poured them into the plate. Then he poured the orange honey juice he had just made on top and stirred evenly.
Finally, Li Qi carefully arranged the fruit pieces into a smiling face, with the peaches as the face, the longan as the eyes, the pear as the nose, and the orange flesh as the mouth.
"Phew! Done!"
Li Qi let out a long sigh. This dish is also the fruit salad that women love to eat.
Wu Xiaoliu and the others leaned their heads over one after another, with envy and excitement in their eyes.
"Then what's the name of this dish?" Chen Dazhu said with a simple smile.
Li Qi smiled mysteriously and said, "You can go and do it yourself."
