Early the next morning, before dawn, Li Qi was woken up by Xiao Tao.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party was still a little girl, Li Qifei would have dragged her in and given her a good beating...
What qualities do you have? Don’t you know that disturbing others’ sleep is a very rude thing?
But when Li Qi finished washing up, he came to the front hall and saw a lot of people standing inside. Mrs. Qin, Wu Furong's uncle and nephew, Brother Zhuzi, and Chen Anan's mother and son. Everyone who was supposed to come had already arrived, waiting for him.
I was alone, and I felt quite embarrassed.
After a little tidying up, the group rushed to Xiangguo Temple.
Mrs. Qin rode in a sedan chair, Wu Furong and Li Qi rode on donkeys, and the rest were on foot.
Along the way, Li Qi kept yawning and almost fell off the donkey's back several times.
Xiangguo Temple is open five times a month.
On the open day, people can trade freely in the temple and watch various entertainment programs.
Crowded.
However, Li Qi had no interest in this. In his eyes, Xiangguo Temple was similar to Wangfujing in Beijing, and those sideshows did not interest him. When Mrs. Qin went to the temple to worship Buddha, he would just find a corner.
Look up.
But just after squinting for a while, Wu Xiaoliu woke him up, "Brother Li, why did you fall asleep here?"
Li Qi yawned, stood up, stretched, and said, "What? Madam, have you finished bowing? Let's go back after we bow."
"It's still early. At least I have to finish my fasting meal before I can go back."
"Damn it! No, after giving out the incense money, you still have to give out food money. Why don't we just change Zuixianju into a temple, say a few words about Amitabha, and we can make money." Li Qi rolled his eyes and said unhappily.
Wu Xiaoliu laughed a few times.
Li Qi sighed, his sleepiness receding, he put his arms around Wu Xiaoliu's neck, pulled him towards the square, "Let's go, let's see if there are condoms for sale here."
"What are condoms?"
"A thing that destroys pleasure is not a good thing."
...
When we arrived at the square, there were shouts and cheers everywhere. Except for no one selling condoms, almost everything was sold. It was more lively than Wangfujing in Beijing.
Wu Xiaoliu seemed to be very interested in those sideshows, but every time he wanted to go over and have a look at the excitement, he was stopped by Li Qi.
Isn't it just a piece of chest-breaking stuff? This thing is too backward.
The two wandered for a while and came to a large locust tree. They saw a group of people standing under the tree. There was also a sign hanging on the branch, which said, "Meet friends through food."
"Meeting friends through food? What is it?"
Li Qi looked curious and walked over with Wu Xiaoliu to find out.
I saw a middle-aged man with a thin face standing under the tree. In front of him was a rectangular table. On the table were an earthen pot, a few pairs of bowls and chopsticks, and a few ingots of silver, about forty taels. There was also a rectangular table hanging on the trunk.
A wooden board with nine pieces of red cloth attached to it.
What is this doing?
Li Qi was very curious, so he asked Wu Xiaoliu to find someone to inquire. As a result, after Wu Xiaoliu inquired, he found out that this middle-aged man got a pot of soup from nowhere. Anyone who could taste it
For the ingredients used, you can get a reward of forty taels of silver, but those who try it must first pay one hundred coins.
This is a good way to make money. I will also make a pot of soup someday.
Li Qi squinted his eyes and rubbed his chin, looking like he was thinking.
Wu Xiaoliu saw it and asked: "Brother Li, do you want to give it a try?"
"One hundred coins, forty taels, there's no reason not to give it a try."
Li Qi nodded and was about to go up and give it a try when he suddenly heard a cry from behind, "Brother Li, Brother Li."
Li Qi turned around and saw a handsome man and a servant walking towards him.
"This guy looks so familiar!"
Li Qi frowned and muttered secretly.
"Huh? Brother Li, isn't this young man the same one who came to our store last time to eat twice-cooked pork?" Wu Xiaoliu pointed at the handsome guy and said in surprise. As a foodie, no matter what he thinks about, he is always connected with food.
Yes, isn't it him? Speaking of which, my first pot of gold in the Northern Song Dynasty was all thanks to him.
At this time, the handsome guy had walked up to Li Qi, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Li, did you remember me?"
Li Qi hurriedly returned the gift and said with a smile: "Of course I remember, it was just that we were in a hurry to say goodbye last time and I haven't asked Mr. Gao for his name yet."
"I'm Zhao—Zhao Yun."
"It turns out to be Brother Zhao, disrespectful."
Zhao Yun cupped his hands and said with a smile: "A few days ago, I went to Zuixianju and wanted to try Brother Li's cooking skills again. Unexpectedly, I missed it. I didn't expect to meet Li Xian here.
Brother, it’s really incredible.”
Li Qi chuckled and said: "A few days ago, the store was being renovated. I hope Brother Zhao will forgive me for any neglect. In three days, the store will reopen. I hope Brother Zhao will support me a lot."
"
"sure."
Zhao Yun laughed, glanced at the crowd, and said in surprise: "It's him."
"who is it?"
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay."
Zhao Yun shook his head and asked curiously: "What are they playing at?"
Li Qi said oh, and then told him what Wu Xiaoliu had just learned about.
"interesting."
A weird smile appeared on Zhao Yun's lips and he said, "I just saw that Brother Li seems to be planning to go up there and give it a try."
"Yes, I have this intention." Li Qi nodded.
Zhao Yun smiled and said: "Just in time, I also want to try it. What kind of dish is this? Brother Li, you won't mind, right?"
"Then there's nothing better, please."
"please."
The two walked forward side by side, and before Li Qi could take out the money, Zhao Yun directly put a piece of silver on it.
Rich people.
When the middle-aged man saw Zhao Yun, a flash of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes, but it just passed by. He stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Please sit down, both of you." After the two of them sat down, the man said again: "This pot
I made the clear soup with nine ingredients. If any of you can taste them all, you can win the forty taels of silver."
Zhao Yun seemed a little impatient and urged: "Hurry up and start."
At this moment, another voice was heard from the crowd, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, there's me."
Li Qi turned around and saw a young man in his teens, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a fair face and bright eyes. He seemed to be the son of a wealthy family.
The junior student squeezed through the crowd, walked forward, sat next to Li Qi, threw a small sling of copper coins on it, rubbed his hands, and said excitedly: "It's time to start."
Zhao Yun frowned slightly, seeming a little unhappy, but didn't say much.
Seeing the young man's urging, the middle-aged man did not explain to him. He filled three bowls of soup from the earthen pot and placed them in front of the three of them.
Li Qi took a look and saw that it was dark, not unlike traditional Chinese medicine.
The young man was so impatient that he picked up the bowl of soup and drank it all in one gulp. He smashed it a few times, frowned, and shook his head and said, "I thought it was a delicacy from the mountains and seas. It's not tasty at all. It's boring. It's boring."
Li Qi and Zhao Yun looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
The middle-aged man could only smile bitterly in response.
Then, Li Qi and Zhao Yun picked up the bowls one after another, took a sip, and tasted it carefully. Their eyes lit up at the same time, and they seemed to have the answer.
"Brother Zhao, please invite me first." Li Qi smiled slightly.
"Then it would be disrespectful for me to refuse."
Zhao Yun turned to the middle-aged man and said, "Baiyun tea soaked in the Longjing spring water of Shoushengyuan."
The middle-aged man nodded and said with a smile: "Not bad."
As he said this, he untied the third piece of red cloth from the left on the wooden board, and it read "Baiyun Tea" as expected.
There was an uproar in the crowd.
Li Qi continued: "Sunflower seeds fried with sweet-scented osmanthus."
A flash of surprise flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, he nodded again, and then untied the fifth piece of red cloth from the left. Sure enough, it said 'sunflower seeds'.
The young man was dumbfounded. He took a deep breath and said, "Is it so amazing? Why can't I taste it at all?"
At this time, Zhao Yun took another bite and said: "Camel tendon."
"good."
Li Qi added: "Crushed cow hooves."
"right."
Zhao Yun said: "Deer tenderloin."
"right."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Cheap but delicious pork brain."
"My brother is right, it's the cheap and delicious pork brain."
Zhao Yun said: "French fish."
"right."
Li Qi added: "Dried Fritillaria."
"correct."
The two of them went back and forth and guessed eight materials in an instant, and there was only the last piece of red cloth left on the wooden board.
The people around him were already stunned, and they didn't dare to breathe even as they stood there.
The atmosphere also became increasingly tense.
The young man next to Li Qi was even more surprised. He secretly scooped another bowl for himself and imitated their taste, but he still couldn't taste it. He felt very depressed: "Strange, why can't I taste it?"
