While making wine, Li Qi did not stop preparing the dishes, which was hot pot.
The pot has been prepared by Blacksmith Liu, and all that's left is the hot pot base.
Making hot pot base is much easier than making wine.
Although today's seasoning ingredients are not as complete as those of later generations, the taste of seasonings is nothing more than fresh, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, and there is nothing that cannot be replaced.
Don’t have chili? It doesn’t matter, you can use Sichuan peppercorns, mustard, and dogwood instead.
No MSG? Just chicken soup.
Moreover, today's seasonings do not contain preservatives. They are all natural and can be used with confidence. The taste is naturally pure and pure.
The only thing that Li Qi regrets is that the killing of cattle was prohibited in the Northern Song Dynasty. Generally, the cattle had to wait until they died before they could be slaughtered and sold, resulting in a considerable shortage of beef resources.
However, this does not affect anything. After all, it is popular for upper-class people to eat mutton, as well as fish, dogs, pigs, etc.
After the hot pot base ingredients were prepared, Li Qi put them into the jars he had prepared and sealed them with oilcloth.
The business hasn't even started yet, and it's cost a lot of money just for these pots and pans.
After Blacksmith Liu delivered the pot, Li Qi got a hot pot that night for everyone to try.
Wu Furong's uncle and nephew have all eaten hot pot, but they have never eaten such a delicious hot pot. Moreover, they did not expect that some wild vegetables and mushrooms that are usually inconspicuous would suddenly become very delicious when cooked in a hot pot.
stand up.
If the decoration of the store hadn't been completed yet, Wu Furong could not wait to open it tomorrow. The hot pot paired with Tianxia Wushuang would definitely be more sensational than the stinky tofu.
Since Li Qi still didn't know how good their kang was at making fire, he kept telling them at the dinner table to eat less and wait until it was cooked before taking it out.
But Wu Xiaoliu prefers raw food, so he doesn't care about Li Qi. Whether it's meat or vegetables, just throw it into the pot, whether it's raw or cooked, just pick it up and eat it. It can be said that there are no taboos.
As a result, the next day, Wu Xiaoliu covered his mouth and ran to Li Qi crying, saying that he might have been poisoned and not only had herpes all over his mouth, but also had diarrhea all night.
Li Qi looked at his sausage mouth and almost burst out laughing. He kicked him away and left him to fend for himself. Li Qi warned him several times last night and told him to eat less, but this kid turned a deaf ear to it.
Now that he had come to ask for help again, Li Qi would not pay attention to him. However, in private, Li Qi asked Wu Furong to grab some anti-inflammatory medicine for him.
After several days, the decoration of Zuixianju was finally completed.
There are thirty tables on the first floor, twenty private rooms on the second floor, and only four private rooms and a hall on the third floor.
On that day, the opening date was decided, which was the tenth day of this month. There were still four days left until today.
Over there, with the help of Stinky Doufu from Zui Xian Ju, Yang Lou started a massive counterattack and caught Jade Xuan by surprise.
Cai Minde never expected that Zuixianju would look down on him and play such a trick. At that time, he did not expect that Zuixianju would choose to sell stinky tofu directly to others. Now his intestines are filled with regret. Fortunately, Li
Qi was a few days late before selling stinky tofu to Yang Lou. Due to the popularity accumulated in the past few days, Jade Xuan's branch has established a foothold in Xicheng. It is not easy for Yang Lou to defeat Jade Xuan in one fell swoop.
The two families were equally matched in strength, and they were fighting so passionately that they couldn't even care about Zui Xianju.
Li Qi certainly hopes to see this situation.
On this day, Li Qi and Bai Qiannuo brought the group of refugees to Zuixianju.
After this period of recuperation, the children are no longer as weak as before. They are all in high spirits, and after Li Qi's training these days, their quality has also been greatly improved. They don't talk too much, don't move around, and behave well.
.
When Wu Xiaoliu saw such a young man of similar age to him, he immediately jumped up and down with joy. Chen Anan also felt itchy in his heart, and from time to time he would give Li Qi two resentful looks.
Li Qi also knew that it was quite boring for Chen Anan to make wine with him these days, so he asked him to go back to Zuixian to live.
Li Qi left all the matters here to Wu Furong to arrange, while he and Bai Qiannuo went to the Qin Mansion with a few pretty ladies.
Xiao Tao and Aunt Chen were the only two servants in such a large mansion, which was a bit shabby, so Li Qi planned to let them serve as servants in the Qin Mansion, just as a show-off.
When they arrived at the Qin Mansion, Li Qi handed the women to Aunt Chen and then went to the back hall with Bai Qiannuo.
At this time, in the back hall, Mrs. Qin and Xiao Tao were sitting at a round table, with a long red silk on the table.
"Qiniang, you're here too." Mrs. Qin saw Bai Qiannuo, stood up and smiled slightly.
Bai Qiannuo is the seventh eldest child in the family. Logically speaking, she should be called Bai Qiniang, but because of her great reputation, people call her Bai Niangzi.
"Eh? Sister Wang, I haven't seen you for a few days, but you look a lot better. I think you must have taken some magic medicine." Bai Qiannuo came to Mrs. Qin's side and said with a smile. After that, she glanced at Li Qi.
"White Snake, what are you saying? My wife will always be beautiful, enjoy immortal blessings forever, and live as long as heaven. Even if you live another seventy or eighty years, my wife will still look like this." Li Qi chuckled.
This kid really dares to say anything.
After Bai Qiannuo heard this, he immediately chuckled.
Xiao Tao on the side also couldn't help laughing.
"You don't have to talk nonsense."
Mrs. Qin's face turned red because of the fuss made by these two juniors. She glared at Li Qi and feigned anger. However, since Li Qi moved into the Qin Mansion, her appetite has been much better than before, with at least two bowls for each meal.
My body is plumper and more attractive than before.
Li Qi chuckled, said no more, and stopped talking.
"Sister Wang, what is this red silk used for?"
Bai Qiannuo picked up the red silk and saw a few big red flowers folded on it, and asked in surprise: "You folded these flowers too?"
Sister Wang nodded and asked Li Qi, "Do you think it's okay?"
"Okay, it's perfect."
Li Qi had actually noticed the red silk for a long time and immediately laughed.
Mrs. Qin glanced at him sideways and was speechless. During these days, Li Qi's attitude towards her could be said to have taken a 180-degree turn. No matter what she said or what she did, no matter whether it was good or bad.
, Li Qidu praised him to death, he was just a flatterer.
"Did you arrange this?" Bai Qiannuo glanced at Li Qi and asked.
Li Qi smiled and nodded.
"Then what is this for?"
"Cutting the ribbon."
"Ribbon cutting?"
Bai Qiannuo looked at Li Qi in confusion.
Li Qidang even told Bai Qiannuo the content of the ribbon cutting.
Bai Qiannuo was stunned and said, "Did you come up with this?"
Li Qi nodded shamelessly, and then said: "By the way, White Snake, you are coming that day too."
"And my share?"
Sweat! If big-name celebrities like you don’t come, then why should I waste this god?
"Of course, how could this ribbon-cutting ceremony be without you, a talented woman with both beauty and wisdom? Oh, by the way, I have something else I forgot to give you."
With that said, Li Qi took out a rectangular piece of copper from his pocket and handed it to Bai Qiannuo.
Bai Qiannuo took it and took a look, and saw that one side of the copper plate was engraved with 'Drunken Immortal Residence', and the other side was engraved with 'Supreme Membership Card'. She asked in surprise: "What is this?"
"Membership card, doesn't it say it on it?" Li Qi said in surprise.
Bai Qiannuo said: "I know."
"You know and still ask?"
"I want to ask what this copper—this membership card is used for?" Bai Qiannuo almost collapsed and said every word through gritted teeth.
"Oh, that's what you want to ask. In fact, even if you don't ask, I will tell you."
Li Qi smiled, worked up his emotions, and said with an exaggerated expression: "The usefulness of this membership card is not ordinary. First of all, only card holders are eligible to eat the dishes cooked by this chef.
Secondly, every time I develop a new dish, the store will send people to invite cardholders to try it. It’s free, but if you want to eat it again, you have to pay; lastly, and most importantly,
The most important thing is that your Supreme Membership Card is unique. I have only prepared one Supreme Membership Card. Those who own this card can not only enjoy the two benefits I mentioned earlier, but also our store will treat you permanently free of charge.
Listen clearly, it’s free forever, but of course, it’s only for you.”
"Free forever?"
Bai Qiannuo asked in surprise: "Why?" She couldn't figure out why Li Qi, an iron rooster, was so generous today.
"Qiniang, these days, you have been running around for Zuixianju, not only providing houses for those servants, but also teaching them how to read. We are just saying our thanks. Compared to what you have done, it is really insignificant.
"Mrs. Qin said with a grateful face and a slight smile.
"Sister Wang, do you need to be polite to me? Besides, I didn't do anything."
Bai Qiannuo's pink cheeks were dizzy and she said, "Sister Wang, you must have asked him to make this supreme membership card."
Mrs. Qin shook her head with a smile, glanced at Li Qi, and said with a smile: "He came up with this note, and he also proposed this card to give to you."
"It's you?" Bai Qiannuo said in surprise.
Damn! What kind of look is this.
Li Qi shrugged and said, "You can't say it was me who gave it to you from Zuixianju. You should invite more friends to come to Zuixianju for dinner in the future."
"I knew you weren't so generous."
Bai Qiannuo snorted and said, "By the way, from what you said just now, it seems that there are other membership cards?"
Li Qi nodded and said: "Of course, in addition, we provide ordinary membership cards and gold membership cards."
"That must be very expensive, right?" Bai Qiannuo asked doubtfully.
Li Qi shook his head and said: "It's not expensive, not expensive at all. It doesn't cost a penny."
"What?"
Bai Qiannuo was shocked: "Not even a penny?"
"certainly."
Li Qi nodded, changed the subject, and said: "But, if you want to apply for an ordinary membership, you must deposit 30 guan into the card at one time. As for the gold membership, you need 60 guan.
It's still yours, it's just temporarily stored in our Zuixianju. You can pay directly with the card when you eat in the future. Moreover, cardholders also get certain discounts when they come to Zuixianju for meals, so it's definitely worth every penny."
Shocking!
After Bai Qiannuo heard this, he was completely stunned.
When Mrs. Qin saw Bai Qiannuo like this, a faint smile appeared on her lips. When she heard about the membership system a few days ago, her expression was exactly the same as Bai Qiannuo's.
"It seems that Cai Yuanwai's life will not be easy in the future." Bai Qiannuo, who came to his senses, pondered for a moment and realized the stakes involved, and sighed.
Needless to say, I am like the old fox who is both black and white.
There was a cold smile on Li Qi's lips.
