"Oh! Who do I think you are? It turns out to be the talented scholar Zou." The young man came over and smiled at the man in red robe.
The man surnamed Zou glanced at the young man and said with a half-smile, "I didn't expect Brother Jiu to have the leisure and grace to go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha today. It's really rare."
"Hey! Stop praising me. I don't have that sincerity. It's just that my father throws so much incense money into this temple every year. I just come here to have a few meals and get some money back." The young man shook his head and said.
.
This was quite in line with Li Qi's taste. He stood aside and pretended to be watching the show.
It's a pity that before you have finished watching, Zou Caizi brought the flames of war over, pointed a white paper fan at Li Qi, and said: "Is this kid a servant of your family?"
Damn it! Could it be that I have the word 'servant' posted on my door?
After hearing this, Li Qi's eyes burned, and he pointed at the man named Zou and said, "Xiaojiu, is this kid a servant of your family?"
The young man seemed very happy when he heard Li Qi call him 'Xiaojiu', but he did not reply. He said to the man named Zou: "Zou, great talent, you really look down on my Hong family. My servants have been working all day long."
They are all raised with big fish and meat, how can they be so weak like him?"
When Li Qi heard this, he was immediately happy. This boy is a talent. What he meant was that your fat figure is more in line with the image of a servant in my family.
Zou Caizi was stunned for a moment before he heard what he meant. His face was full of anger, but he seemed to be very afraid of the young man. He snorted angrily, waved his sleeves and said: "Farewell." Then he walked in angrily.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, the young man turned to Li Qi and said, "Brother, what you just said about beasts can come in, why can't I come in? You are indeed foresighted."
The voice was neither too loud nor too quiet, just enough for the person named Wrinkle to hear. He tilted his body and almost fell to the ground in anger.
Li Qi laughed and said: "It's just a coincidence, it's just a coincidence."
After Zou Caizi entered, the young man smiled and said to Li Qi: "Brother, do you still remember me?"
Li Qi nodded and smiled: "Of course I remember, my eyes can't just drink soup."
The young man blushed and said, "What I just said was nonsense. Don't mind it, little brother."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "I'm not as petty as the one just now. By the way, I don't know what my brother's name is?"
The young man chuckled and said, "My surname is not Gao, my surname is Hong, and I don't have a big name either. My nickname is Tianjiu. Just call me Xiaojiu."
Hey! Sorry, I became pedantic in front of this guy. Li Qi chuckled and said, "My name is Li Qi."
Hong Tianjiu didn't seem to accept life at all. He opened his mouth and said: "Brother Li, your ability to taste food just now is really extraordinary. I have never seen such ability in my life."
"It's just a small trick." Li Qi said with a faint smile.
"This is called a small skill, so how can it be called a big trick?" Hong Tianjiu said in surprise.
Li Qi was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
At this moment, Xiao Tao suddenly walked out of it. When she saw Li Qi, she immediately shouted: "Master Li, it turns out you are already here, and my wife asked me to find you."
Li Qi nodded, stretched out his hand in front of Hong Tianjiu, and said, "Xiao Tao, this is Young Master Hong."
"Xiao Tao has met Mr. Hong." Xiao Tao saluted Hong Tianjiu.
"I'm not a young man, just call me Brother Xiaojiu."
Hong Tianjiu chuckled, blinked his big eyes at Li Qi, and said with a smile: "Brother Li, Mrs. Sister-in-law's maids are all so beautiful, Mrs. Sister-in-law must also be beautiful and beautiful."
Madam-in-law? This guy really dares to say anything.
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then understood. He glanced at Xiaotao secretly and saw that her face was unhappy, so he hurriedly said: "Xiaojiu, don't talk nonsense about this. The person inside is Mrs. Qin, the owner of Zuixianju on Bianhe Street.
"
"Mrs. Qin? Zuixianju?"
Hong Tianjiu was stunned for a moment and suddenly said: "Brother Li, are you talking about that Zuixianju that sells stinky tofu?"
Li Qi nodded and smiled: "Yes. In fact, I am the chef of Zuixianju, and the stinky tofu is also made by me."
"Oh, it turns out Brother Li made that stinky tofu, no wonder it's so special."
Hong Tianjiu's face was full of excitement and he said: "Brother Li, you don't know that my father loves to eat the stinky tofu in your store. Every day, twenty or thirty servants line up to buy stinky tofu at your Zuixianju.
My little brother also likes to eat tight."
Send twenty or thirty servants to line up every day?
This is truly a treasured father and son.
Li Qi couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. He glanced at Xiao Tao, who was already a little impatient, and said, "Xiao Jiu, are you here alone?"
Hong Tianjiu nodded.
"How about you come with us? It's boring to eat alone."
"My little brother also has this intention."
"Okay, let's go in."
The room is very spacious and bright, with more than ten square tables placed, but it is also clean and tidy.
At this time, there were already many people sitting inside, most of them were business people, children from rich families, and the real dignitaries all went to the second and third floors to eat.
Li Qi looked up and found Mrs. Qin, Wu Furong and others sitting at a table in the corner. Not only that, Bai Qiannuo was also there, and there was a man in red robe, the same one they met at the door just now.
The great talent Zou.
It’s really a narrow road for enemies!
Li Qi smiled bitterly in his heart and asked Xiao Tao: "When did the White Snake come?"
Xiao Tao replied: "I'll be here in the morning."
"Brother Li, do you still know White Snake?" Hong Tianjiu said in surprise.
Li Qi smiled slightly and said: "I'm not very familiar with her, it's just that she is familiar with our wife."
"So that's it, Brother Li, you don't know that this white lady is really amazing." Hong Tianjiu glanced at Bai Qiannuo secretly and said a little guilty.
What's so great is that she is just a woman.
Li Qi smiled without saying a word and walked straight towards Mrs. Qin.
Mrs. Qin saw Li Qi coming and introduced her quickly: "Li Qi, this is Zou Zijian, the great talent of Zou. Mr. Zou, this is Li Qi, the chef of the small shop."
In front of outsiders, Mrs. Qin naturally found it difficult to call Li Qi Mr. Li. After all, Li Qi was still working for him in name.
"It turns out he's a mean brother. I've admired him for a long time." Li Qi cupped his hands and said with a smile.
He neither called Mr. Zou, nor Brother Zou, nor Brother Zijian, but he called him Brother Jian. The reason was only known to the quick-thinking Bai Qiannuo and Hong Tianjiu, who had a similar temperament with him.
Even Zou Zijian didn't notice it himself, but what puzzled him was that Li Qi, a chef, could actually sit with the owner.
Here, Zou Zijian also raised his hands and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Brother Li, disrespectful."
Seeing the different expressions on their faces, Bai Qiannuo asked doubtfully: "You two know each other?"
Li Qi laughed and said, "Brother Jian and I hit it off at the door just now, and we chatted for a long time about stories about humans and animals."
When Hong Tianjiu heard this, he immediately became happy. When it came to the skill of cursing, he was willing to be inferior.
A flash of resentment flashed in Zou Zijian's eyes, but he restrained himself from getting angry. He just said: "It's easy to talk, it's easy to talk." Then he said to Madame Bai: "Sister White, your friends are already here, so I won't disturb you and my wife.
Farewell, farewell."
After saying that, he turned around and left, and sat down at a table diagonally opposite. There were two literati dressed as scholars sitting on the table.
"Brother Li, you are so powerful. You sent Fatty Zou away with just a few words." Hong Tianjiu said happily.
Only then did everyone notice the young man who came in with Li Qi.
Bai Qiannuo glanced at him, frowned, and said, "Isn't this the young master of Hong Wan Gambling House, Hong Tianjiu?"
Hong Tianjiu nodded and said with a smile: "I don't dare, it's my little brother, Madam Bai, you can just call me Xiaojiu." It seemed that he didn't dare to be so presumptuous in front of Bai Qiannuo.
Bai Qiannuo nodded with a smile, but he was very confused in his heart, how could he and Li Qi get together? It would be okay if these two people got together.
In fact, Bai Qiannuo had only met Hong Tianjiu a few times, but Hong Tianjiu was well-known as a bully in Bianjing City, and he especially liked to antagonize those talented scholars. Zou Zijian suffered greatly from this.
Li Qi was stunned for a long time, md, I bet this kid is the son of a gambling king and has made a lot of money.
