Chapter seven hundred and thirty seventh it turns out to be you
"Mom, I still want to eat."
Just as Li Qi was having a heated fight with the people, a childish voice suddenly silenced the scene. A five-year-old girl in the left corner was seen walking in front of an aunt, holding the aunt's arm with her little hand.
, staring at the half piece of crystal cake in the aunt's hand.
When the aunt saw Li Qi and the others looking at her, she seemed a little embarrassed, and smiled honestly. When she was about to hand the half piece of cake to her daughter, Li Qi suddenly waved and said with a smile: "Little sister, come over to big brother.
.”
The little girl looked at Li Qi blankly.
The aunt was also stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Tianlan, if the master calls you, hurry over."
The little girl blinked her big eyes a few times, looking a little timid. The aunt urged her a few more times, and then the little girl walked over with a worried look on her face.
When the little girl walked up to him, Li Qi suddenly pulled out a complete crystal cake like a magic trick and said with a smile: "Little sister, just tell me your name, and this cake will be given to you."
The little girl looked at the cake, her pure eyes sparkling with light. She was no longer so afraid of Li Qi, and said, "My name is Mu Tianlan. My father said that Lan Tian in Fengxiang is the most beautiful, so I hope I am as beautiful as Lan Tian."
"Mu Tianlan, well, that's a really nice name. You will definitely be more beautiful than Lan Tian in the future." Li Qi chuckled, stretched out his hand and said, "Here."
The little girl hesitated for a while, then slowly stretched out her hand. It wasn't until she took the crystal cake from Li Qi's hand that she revealed her innocent smile.
It was so cute. Li Qi stretched out his hands to pick her up, let her sit on his lap, teased her a few words, and then said to everyone: "This crystal cake comes from the northwest, but do any of you know about this crystal cake?"
Where does the name come from?”
The villagers looked at each other and no one answered.
At this time, Yue Fei suddenly said: "This crystal cake was taken by Prime Minister Kou Zhunxian. I once heard my mother say that when Prime Minister Kou went back to his hometown of Weinan County to visit relatives, the local people gave him fifty of these crystal cakes.
There is also a poem attached, "The public has crystal eyes and a crystal heart. It can distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and it is pure and untainted." It means praising the Kou Prime Minister for his integrity and uprightness. Later, after the Kou Prime Minister returned to Beijing, he replaced this cake
Named 'Crystal Cake'."
When he said this, his face was full of admiration. Obviously, he also wanted to be a wise minister like Kou Zhun. Unfortunately, he had unparalleled military talent, but he lacked an emotional intelligence. Lian Guo Wuerjun was so
He failed to understand the simple truth and ended up in a tragedy. This does not mean that Zhao Gou is so stupid and unscrupulous. I believe that any emperor in Zhao Gou's environment would not tolerate Yue Fei's existence.
Li Qi smiled and said: "Yes. Yes, your mother is really an admirable mother!" After a pause, he added: "I make this cake because I hope your officials in the northwest can remember the meaning of this cake.
.A good official can be as pure and clean as the Prime Minister Kou. Especially in the northwest now, there is an even greater need for such good officials who wholeheartedly serve the people!"
Everyone nodded frequently after hearing this.
Li Qi asked again: "Then do you know the meaning of that side?"
Do noodles also have meaning?
Everyone was stunned. This time no one answered.
Li Qi smiled and said: "This noodle is shaped like a trousers belt, so it is called trousers belt noodles. Although the name is very vulgar, it represents the broad and long heart of the people in the northwest, the sharp edges and corners, and the cheerful spirit of great suffering and great happiness.
"As he spoke, he sighed softly and said: "Everyone does not want to suffer. Everyone wants to be born with food and clothing, without having to worry about food, rice, oil and salt. However, there are so many helplessness in life, although enjoying hardship is a kind of happiness.
Passive behavior, but when faced with difficulties, a day is spent with a sad face, and a day is spent with a happy face. Taking pleasure in hardship may be a very good choice, at least it is better than complaining. Although you have experienced pain that perhaps even I can't imagine,
Although this is not caused by you, it has happened to you. This is a kind of helplessness. This is life! However, I still hope that you can face the current predicament with a spirit of great suffering and great joy, and strive for
Get out of the predicament as soon as possible and welcome the rainbow after the storm."
After these words, the common people all began to ponder. However, Zhe Yanzhi, Ji Minren and others saw that Li Qi was only in his twenties, but he could borrow such a small bowl of noodles and a piece of cake to say such touching words.
After hearing these words, I couldn't help but look at Li Qi with admiration, and truly understood the meaning of the Golden Knife Chef King.
Ma Qiao was not surprised and said curiously: "Bu Shuai, the first two kinds of food have their meanings, and this Guokui must be no exception."
Damn it! You guys have been with me for so long, but you still don’t have any tacit understanding at all. If it makes sense, I’ll wait until you ask. If you don’t tell me, of course you don’t! Li Qi glanced at everyone’s curious eyes,
He began to silently draw circles in his heart and curse Maqiao. He glanced at Maqiao and said with a smile: "Of course, of course. The ancients said, draw cakes to satisfy hunger. But after all, it is ethereal and nihilistic and cannot be fully believed. I believe you should not have it.
Forget, the promise I made to you at noon. In order to make the promise I made to you earlier more real, instead of just painting cakes to satisfy my hunger, I chose to make this pot helmet. Its meaning is to represent my promise to you.
, big enough, sufficient enough, and sincere enough.”
Really enough!
The crowd burst into laughter and were full of confidence in Li Qi's idea. Li Qi did not expect that his sudden idea would achieve such wonderful results. In the final analysis, it was still easier to say than to do it.
Since the villagers had to go to work in the fields tomorrow, after all, they wasted too much precious time, so Li Qi chatted with them for a while and then went back to their homes.
Li Qi cooked all afternoon. Although he was very happy, he was also very tired. After returning to the room and washing up, he was ready to go to bed. However, as soon as he took off his shoes, there was a knock on the door.
"who is it?"
"Bu Shuai, it's me."
Yue Fei's voice came from outside.
"Wait a minute!" Li Qi frowned, put on his shoes again, opened the door, and said, "What's the matter?"
"Look, Bu Shuai."
Yue Fei raised his hands, and saw that he was holding an arrow in his hand. This arrow was very similar to the one from the previous night, and it was also wrapped with a strip of cloth in front.
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, took the arrow and said, "Let's talk after you come in."
Yue Fei quickly walked in and closed the door.
Li Qi came to the table, took off the cloth, and opened it. He saw it said, "Come quickly to the woods one mile west of the city. Only one person from Maqiao is allowed to come."
The handwriting is also exactly the same as yesterday.
Yue Fei glanced at the cloth and thought, if it was Zhe Yanzhi and Ji Minren, they could just come to him directly, why bother trying to be mysterious? He asked curiously: "Commander Bu, do you know who this person is?"
Li Qi thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know yet."
"Do you want me to send someone to find out?"
"No need." Li Qi waved his hand and said, "Although I don't know who this person is, he must be someone who knows me very well."
Yue Fei was surprised and said: "How can you see it?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Because this person knows that no matter what, I will take Ma Qiao there, and not many people know Ma Qiao."
"That Bu Shuai, are you really going to take only Brother Ma?"
Li Qi shook his head and said: "How is that possible? Confidence is not inversely proportional to accidents. You can secretly bring a team of people to follow me later and meet them outside the woods. However, don't alert the prefect Ji and the Zhe Family Army.
"
"clear."
"Go and call Ma Qiao."
"yes."
After a while, Li Qi and Ma Qiao secretly left the county government office and rode towards the west of the city. Yue Fei followed them with a small team of people to protect them secretly.
After a while, Li Qi came to the grove written on the banner.
"You have to follow closely to prevent the other party from making a sneak attack."
Ma Qiao said depressedly: "Commander Bu, you have told me this almost 800 times, don't worry. In this environment, I am the only one who can sneak attack people. Of course, I, Ma Qiao, will not do such shameless things. But who?
If you dare to sneak attack on me, you are seeking death, and animals are no exception."
So arrogant? Li Qi was about to speak when suddenly a pleasant and clear voice came from the forest, "Brother Ma is right. No matter how stupid I am, I will never do such stupid things."
Li Qi was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at each other with Ma Qiao.
"Mr. Zhao (Ms. Zhao)?"
"Miss Zhao (dead shemale)?"
The tacit understanding between the two really makes people sweat!
Li Qi glared at Ma Qiao, and now he had no scruples and strode in. Ma Qiao quickly followed.
As soon as I entered the woods, I saw a figure walking out from behind a big tree. However, due to the light problem, I couldn't see the person's face clearly, but I could tell just from the voice that the person who came was none other than Zhao Jingyan.
Zhao Jingyan smiled and said: "You didn't expect it to be me."
Li Qi laughed dumbly and said: "To be honest, I have been thinking about it from yesterday to today, but I really didn't think it was you."
Zhao Jingyan said: "Actually, I never thought that the emperor would send you here."
"same here."
"But for now, it seems that the emperor's choice was not wrong."
Li Qi smiled bitterly and said: "Don't put a high hat on me. I have a headache now and can't even sleep."
"No, you have time to cook. I guess you already have a way."
"You know everything?"
"The aroma of the food has spread to the outside of the city. Everyone knows that the Golden Knife Chef King is coming."
Li Qi said hey: "Thank you, thank you. Why are you here?" At this point, he suddenly let out a long voice and said: "You are the benefactor they call you."
Zhao Jingyan did not deny it and said with a smile: "This is not the place to talk. Let's talk in another place."
Li Qi looked around and said, "No, it's quite nice here. The air is fresh and the environment is elegant. Oops, there are just a lot of mosquitoes."
Zhao Jingyan smiled and said: "This place was originally quite nice, but that tail behind you is really too conspicuous. If you think you can hide it from the enemy, then you are underestimating the Zhe family army."
"You know this as well?"
Zhao Jingyan rolled her eyes and said: "You are so afraid of death, you can't even think about it!"
Li Qi hummed: "Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Of course I'm afraid!" Zhao Jingyan said with a smile: "That's why I brought people here, otherwise how would I know about the tail lurking outside."
"I see. I really thought you were as clever and clever as me, but it turns out you were just playing tricks on me."
"I didn't expect you to be as shameless as ever when you came here."
"I didn't expect you to come here and still be as breastless as ever."
"...!"
"Whoa!"
"Eh? What are you doing? The light is so dark right now, and I can't watch you dance like that. It's better to wait until tomorrow, oh no, do it again - Maqiao, Maqiao, stand in front of me.
Come on, I am relatively insecure." (To be continued...)
