After a period of rectification and recuperation, the day for the opening of Zuixianju was finally ushered in.
Tonight, except for Li Qi, everyone else was sleepless.
Li Qi was already used to this kind of scene, and he had made complete preparations. There was nothing to worry about. The only thing he had to do now was to rest well and face it in the best condition.
The fourth watch has just passed.
Zuixianju is already brightly lit.
Except for Mrs. Qin and the twenty bartenders, everyone else has arrived, and more than a dozen ladies are busy upstairs and downstairs.
Their current task is to clean Zuixianju without any stains.
Li Qi, with his three apprentices and Zheng Huofu, was in the kitchen preparing today's ingredients.
The materials Li Qi prepared were mainly fish, pork, dog meat and vegetables, followed by donkey meat, mutton, and rabbit meat, and beef was the least. Beef is really too expensive these days. Just from the price point of view, it is not suitable for hot pot, but
It would be outrageous if a big restaurant didn't even have any beef.
Since the hot pot base and the ingredients used today have been prepared, all they have to do now is wash, cut, and boil water.
After a period of training, Wu Xiaoliu and the others have made great progress in their knife skills. Although they are not as good as being able to carve a lifelike dragon out of a carrot, they can cut meat into thick and thin slices of equal size.
, there is still no problem at all.
In the east, a blood-red sun rises slowly.
All twenty bartenders have also come to the store. Now they have all put on the work clothes that Li Qi specially made for them. They are all shorts and trousers. The clothes are tight and they look energetic. Between men and women
The only difference is that men wear blue and women wear red.
After a while, Mrs. Qin also arrived. She also stayed up all night last night.
"Brother Li, madam is here."
Chen Anan hurried into the kitchen and shouted, sweating profusely.
At this time, Li Qi was busy processing the fish. He stopped what he was doing, frowned and glanced at Chen Anan, and said in a deep voice: "Anan, how many times have I told you not to be so reckless in the kitchen."
"oh."
Chen Anan lowered his head and stuck out his tongue.
Li Qi shook his head, glanced sideways at Wu Xiaoliu who was snickering, and said, "You guys, hurry up and I'll be right back."
After saying that, he took off his scarf and walked out with Chen Anan.
In the hall, Mrs. Qin, who was chatting with Wu Furong, saw Li Qi coming out. She nodded and smiled and said, "I'll have to work hard for you today."
"In your own business, a little hard work is nothing."
Li Qi chuckled and said seriously: "Madam, I'm afraid I'll have to stay in the kitchen today, and I'll have to leave everything to you and Uncle Wu for everything outside."
In fact, Li Qi had already told them what needed to be said, even going through every detail no less than three times. If there were any mistakes, there was nothing he could do.
Mrs. Qin nodded slightly and said, "But are you really not going to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony that is waiting for you?"
As early as a few days ago, Li Qi told Mrs. Qin that he would not attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony, but Mrs. Qin still felt that although Li Qi did not want to reveal his identity, he was now one of the owners of Zuixianju after all.
The restaurant was open and he stayed in the kitchen, which was not a good thing after all.
Li Qi smiled slightly and said: "The ribbon-cutting ceremony is nothing more than a gimmick. Not many people in Bianjing know me. It doesn't matter whether I participate or not. You and Uncle Wu can participate."
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Mrs. Qin no longer forced herself, nodded and said, "That's okay."
Li Qi exchanged a few words with Wu Furong and then returned to the kitchen.
As soon as Sishi arrived, Bai Qiannuo came. She was a guest at today's ribbon-cutting ceremony, so she naturally had to come early.
"Congratulations, Sister Wang."
Mrs. Qin smiled and nodded, then asked Xiao Tao to pour the White Lady a cup of tea.
As soon as Bai Qiannuo sat down, he suddenly remembered something and asked quickly: "By the way, Sister Wang, do you know that there are rumors about the opening of Zui Xianju, such as ribbon-cutting, mandarin duck pot, unparalleled in the world, already
The news is so miraculous, who spread the news?"
Mrs. Qin smiled bitterly and said, "Who else could it be?"
Bai Qiannuo glanced towards the kitchen, snorted, and said: "I knew it was him, so forget it, why did he say that Madam Bai and Young Master Song would also come as honored guests at the ribbon-cutting ceremony?"
My father already knows about this. By the way, did you really invite Mr. Song?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard an affectionate call with joy: "Qian Nuo."
When Bai Qiannuo heard this, he cried bitterly in his heart.
I saw a handsome guy walking in from outside, his eyes locked on Bai Qiannuo.
The person who came was none other than the great talent Song Yuchen.
Mrs. Qin gave Bai Qiannuo an innocent look, indicating that this had nothing to do with her.
Of course, all this was arranged by Li Qi. Although Song Yuchen had no contact with Zuixianju, when Li Qi asked Wu Xiaoliu to send him an invitation, he specifically told him that Bai Qiannuo would also attend.
.Li Qi knew that as long as he revealed the news to Song Yuchen, he would definitely come even if it rained hail.
It is undeniable that Li Qi has no good impression of Mr. Song, but after all, his influence is here and it would be a pity to leave it unused.
When Bai Qiannuo thought about it carefully, she realized that she was being used by Li Qi again, and secretly cursed Li Qi in her heart for being an out-and-out little fox.
Bai Qiannuo first saluted Song Yuchen, then pointed his jade hand to Mrs. Qin and introduced: "Brother Song, this is Mrs. Qin, the proprietor of Zuixianju."
Since Mrs. Qin rarely showed up in the past, few people had seen her. Song Yuchen rarely visited Xianju, so naturally he had never seen Mrs. Qin.
"Yu Chen has met Madam."
Only then did Song Yuchen notice the beautiful woman next to Bai Qiannuo and hurriedly saluted.
Mrs. Qin smiled and said: "I have heard that the young master is the most talented man in the capital. When I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation."
"Don't dare, don't dare."
Mrs. Qin saw that Song Yuchen was elegant and handsome, and that he matched Bai Qiannuo well. She nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go upstairs first and take a look. You guys sit down for a while."
When Song Yuchen heard this, he was immediately elated. This trip was worth it. Being able to be alone with Bai Qiannuo was a great gift to him.
Bai Qiannuo secretly gave Mrs. Qin a complaining look.
But Mrs. Qin pretended not to see it, walked upstairs with a smile on her lips.
After a while, another handsome young man came in with an entourage.
Wu Furong felt that this man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before, so he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Sir, you are here early. The store will not officially open until a quarter past noon."
The young man smiled and said: "I know, I'm here to see the chef in your store."
Li Qi?
Wu Furong suddenly remembered that this person was the purple-robed young man who came last time. He also saw that this person's identity was not simple, and said hurriedly: "Li Qi is in the kitchen. I will send someone to call him immediately."
This person is Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun nodded slightly and looked around. Today's Zuixianju was very different from the first time he came here. He nodded in praise and suddenly found a pair of handsome men and beauties sitting by the window. They smiled politely.
He smiled, then found a table and sat down.
The handsome couple were naturally Bai Qiannuo and Song Yuchen.
When Bai Qiannuo saw that the young master came to see Li Qi, he was very curious. Looking at the young master's dress, he also knew that he was an unusual family. How could Li Qi, a cook, meet him.
After a while, Li Qi walked out of the kitchen and was a little surprised when he saw it was Zhao Yun. He did not expect that Zhao Yun would come so early.
After the two chatted for a while, Li Qi invited Zhao Yun to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
When Zhao Yun heard this, he was also very interested in the ribbon-cutting ceremony, so he readily agreed.
Then Li Qi introduced Zhao Yun to Bai Qiannuo and Song Yuchen. After all, he didn't have time to entertain this well-established young man now. It just so happened that the three of them had similar hobbies. They all loved dancing and writing, and they quickly got along with each other.
, Li Qi chatted with them for a while and then returned to the kitchen.
Before noon, Zuixianju was already crowded with people.
At this time, a large platform was set up in front of Zuixianju's door and tied up with red cloth. Although there were many people watching, they didn't know what it was used for.
Just after noon, Chen Anan, as the host of the ribbon-cutting ceremony, took the lead in standing on the stage and said a long opening speech (the n word is omitted here---).
Chen Anan has always been a person who is not afraid of heaven or earth. When facing so many people, he has no stage fright at all. When he talks, he is eloquent and eloquent. This is why Li Qi chose him as the host. He was originally
He wanted Xiao Tao to be the female host and cooperate with Chen Anan, but Xiao Tao was shy and unwilling to do so, so Li Qibian had no choice but to give up.
Then the etiquette lady appeared.
I saw five young girls walking out of the store, carrying a tray. Inside the tray were a big red flower and a pair of copper scissors. Each big red flower was connected with red silk.
Five girls stood on the stage, lined up in a row.
Then the ribbon-cutting guests were introduced.
Following Chen Anan's excited shouts, Bai Qiannuo, Song Yuchen, Zhao Yun, Wu Furong, and Mrs. Qin walked out of the store one by one.
There was a commotion in the audience.
"Wow, isn't that Mr. Song Yuchen, the most talented man in Tokyo?"
"Wow, wow, he's really handsome——"
“White Snake, what a White Snake—”
"Wow, is that woman Mrs. Qin? She's so beautiful——"
"Huh? Who is that young man? He is so handsome——"
"Damn that stinky old man, who put him on stage? He is really a disgrace to the scenery. He is so shameless at his age——"
...
There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and the five ribbon-cutting guests on the stage were in different moods at the moment.
This was the first time for Mrs. Qin to face so many people in such a public place. She felt a little shy in her heart, and there was a trace of blush on her cheeks, but she was even more beautiful.
Song Yuchen stood on the stage, hearing the praises from everyone, and his face was full of pride. He also thought about Bai Qiannuo standing next to him, and he felt so beautiful. He wished that Zuixianju would hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony like this every day.
Bai Qiannuo looked at so many people and was completely convinced by Li Qi's ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Zhao Yun only found it interesting. As for the praise, he didn't seem to care much.
As for Wu Furong, well, let’s not talk about it. He is just a green leaf. It is not an exaggeration to call him the most miserable person.
"The ribbon-cutting begins now."
Following Chen Anan's shout, the five of them all picked up the copper scissors in the tray and cut off the red silk in front of them.
At the same time, the deafening sound of firecrackers also sounded on both sides.
