Chapter 798: The Battle of the First Chef (Part 1)
"Wait, wait and start again, there are still people who haven't come yet."
As soon as Li Qi finished speaking, a crisp voice suddenly sounded from outside the crowd.
Everyone was stunned and looked up.
"Please give me permission, thank you."
"Ouch. What the hell."
"Ouch, ouch."
After a commotion in the crowd, a woman was seen squeezing in from the crowd.
"What are you---."
Two security guards immediately went up and prepared to stop her, but before she could finish her words, the woman got in like a snake, but she looked like she had walked in by mistake. She was seen waving to Li Qi again.
, panting: "Wait--wait and start again."
But I saw that this woman was about twenty-five or six, with a medium height, about 1.67 meters, wheat complexion, oval face, long black hair randomly tied up on her head, with a ponytail-like braid, and a pair of apricot eyes.
It was clear and black, extremely bright, just like a baby's, without a trace of impurities, making it unforgettable. When she smiled, she revealed a row of neat teeth, which were so white that Li Qi planned to start a toothpaste business with him.
. She is dressed as a hunter, slightly tight, with bulging front and back, and a well-proportioned figure. She carries a large baggage on her back. I don’t know what is inside. It seems very heavy, but this woman walks lightly, so it must not be very heavy.
, if you want to use one word to describe this woman, it would be healthy. Her whole body exudes this characteristic.
This turn of events made everyone very surprised, and they all looked at the woman.
"Stay here."
Ma Qiao frowned slightly, took a step forward, put one hand behind his back, and blocked the woman.
But the woman ignored him. She walked around the Maqiao and walked towards Li Qi in the field. She hurriedly waved her hands and said, "Brother, I'm really sorry. I'm sorry, I'm late."
Ma Qiao felt that he was being ignored and suddenly stretched out his hand to stop the woman. However, as soon as his hand touched the baggage on the woman's back, he suddenly felt a stinging pain and his heart trembled. He was afraid that the woman would hurt Li Qi.
His feet swept away like lightning.
The woman was so reckless that she didn't notice Ma Qiao's kick.
Seeing that she was defenseless, Ma Qiao quickly withdrew all his strength, but it was too late. His toes had just hooked on the woman's left ankle.
"Ouch!"
The woman screamed in surprise and threw her whole body forward.
Damn it---no way! Li Qiden was shocked.
A loud bang!
Dust stirred up, and the woman was seen throwing Li Qi to the ground.
Everyone was stunned.
Ma Qiao covered her face and couldn't bear to look directly.
"Cough cough cough!"
At this moment, Li Qi felt that his breathing had stopped. He coughed loudly and felt dizzy. "Is this the punishment for breaking the precept?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The woman said firmly.
Li Qi felt like a huge mountain was pressing on him, and his lungs were about to explode. He said: "You---you want to get up first?"
"Oh oh oh. I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
The woman quickly stood up, with Li Qi as a cushion. She was fine with nothing at all. She blushed, looked at Li Qi, and said apologetically: "Are you---are you okay?"
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said feebly: "Sister, I was almost crushed to death by you. Are you okay?"
"Li Qi (Master Li)."
As soon as Fan Shaobai, Hong Bajin and others reacted, they rushed forward.
Li Qi was so wronged that he almost cried. In broad daylight, he was actually tricked by a woman, and he was still in such embarrassment. He raised a hand and said: "First---help me up first, my waist seems to be broken."
"
Several people helped Li Qi up in a hurry, and Fan Shaobai quickly ordered someone to bring a cup of tea to calm Li Qi's shock.
After finishing his cup of tea, Li Qi regained his composure. With tears in his eyes, he gasped: "It's a bad year. It's a bad year. I knew something was going to happen as soon as I went out."
Ma Qiao came over and said sarcastically: "Bu Shuai, I'm really sorry. This is all because of my misjudgment. I thought ---."
Li Qi roared: "When have you ever made a correct judgment?"
When Ma Qiao saw Li Qi being so disrespectful, he immediately said angrily: "It's not all my fault. A girl jumped at me. You can't dodge."
I'm hiding from your sister! I don't even know what's going on? Li Qi gritted his teeth and wished he could tear Ma Qiao into pieces. How could there be such a hateful bodyguard in the world?
The others couldn't help laughing when they recalled the scene just now.
Li Qi saw it and said, "If any of you laughs, I will leave immediately."
Everyone quickly suppressed their laughter.
At this time, Zhang Chuner walked over, frowned, and asked the woman, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
The woman said excitedly: "Oh, my name is Liu Yunxi, I come from the south. When I first arrived here, I heard that there was a cooking competition here, and it was a battle between cooks, so I rushed over immediately. Fortunately, there was no one there yet.
start."
Zhang Chun'er frowned and said, "Are you the cook?"
"Yes, yes. Are you a cook too?"
Guda came over and said: "This is the proprietor of Jinlou, Mrs. Zhang, why are you here?"
Liu Yunxi looked at Guda blankly and asked without answering: "Isn't this a competition between cooks? I am also a cook, why can't I come?"
Guda was stunned and said: "Are you the cook in that restaurant?"
Liu Yunxi said sarcastically: "I have never been to a restaurant in my life. I have only been cooking at Xiaojiao for a few years."
Guda laughed and said, "Then you deserve to be here?"
"Why not? Are only restaurant cooks allowed to participate?"
"this---?"
When Gao Yameni saw that Liu Yunxi was pretty and had a unique flavor, he was eager to love beauty and shouted: "That's right, that's right, today is actually a competition for the number one cook. This Lady Liu is also a cook, why not allow her to do it?"
join."
The audience found this woman quite interesting and wanted to meet her, so they also started cheering.
Zhang Chuner frowned slightly, looked at Li Qi and said, "Master Li, what do you think?"
"Don't ask me, I don't care about this. Ouch, it hurts me so much."
Li Qi supported his waist with one hand and sat down on the seat with the help of everyone, with an angry look on his face.
Zhang Chun'er had never seen Li Qi being insulted like this. She felt a little happy in her heart, but she only came here for Mrs. Song today. She looked down on this woman at all and said: "Logically speaking, as a cook, you can come here.
But you didn’t sign up before, and we don’t have extra stoves for you---."
Before Zhang Chun'er finished speaking, Liu Yunxi said carelessly: "It's okay, it's okay. I brought all these myself, you just need to lend me some firewood."
She said and quickly put down her baggage and opened it. Inside she saw a few rectangular pieces of wood, a jar similar to a medicine jar, an iron rod, a few ropes, some iron buckles, a bundle of silver needles, and three
Hairy crabs, some mushrooms, etc. There is also a baggage inside, which should look like a big back elbow.
It's hard to imagine that a woman can carry so many things.
Damn it! You must be preparing to move. You have so many things with you. No wonder they were so heavy just now. Li Qi felt very depressed when he saw them.
So that's it. Could it really be an accident? Ma Qiao looked at the bundle of silver needles, then at the middle finger of his left hand, and shook his head slightly.
"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine soon."
Liu Yunxi didn't regard herself as an outsider at all, and started working quickly, picking up the pieces of wood and bundling them with ropes, and within a short while, a barbecue grill came out.
"Okay."
After she finished it, she stood up and said with a smile: "Who can lend me some firewood?"
Gao Yanei chuckled and said, "This woman is a bit interesting."
She even prepared her own stove. What else could Zhang Chun'er say? Besides, there was Gao Yanei taking the lead in making noise. She nodded towards Gu Da and then explained the rules.
Liu Yunxi said happily: "That's great. What I brought today happened to be pig knuckles."
Isn't it such a coincidence? Zhang Chun'er nodded and said, "Then get ready, it's about to start." After saying that, she turned around and walked towards Mrs. Song and asked, "Do you mind?"
Mrs. Song smiled and nodded.
Guda ordered someone to send some firewood to Liu Yunxi and make some space for her. Then he walked up to Li Qi and said, "Master Li, can we start?"
Li Qi waved his hand and said impatiently: "Let's start, let's start. Finish it early and go back early. It's too dangerous outside."
The corner of Guda's mouth twitched, he nodded, and then ordered someone to light incense and time it. The competition finally began, but with the sudden arrival of this woman, Masuda was a little more interesting.
Seeing Li Qi's depressed look, Hong Bajin joked: "Li Qi, what do you think of this woman's cooking skills?"
"Zhaozhao is definitely better than me. I don't know the rest." Li Qi curled his lips and said.
Uncle He Jiu came over and whispered: "Master Li, how long will this matter last?"
"What's up?"
"It's just a matter of closing the door!"
Li Qi hurriedly said: "Uncle He Jiu, look at what you said, I didn't ask you to close the door. You can open the door now!"
Uncle He Jiu cursed secretly, it wasn't you who screamed, but you were the one who caused this!
Hong Bajin chuckled: "No hurry, no rush, He Jiu, we have worked hard all our lives and it's time to take a rest. We can't make enough money."
Yanglou Zhang also smiled and said: "Hong Yuanwai is right. In the past, let alone those officials, even ordinary scholars looked down on us. But these days, those high officials come to see me almost every day.
If you don’t like to talk to them, it would be a great pleasure.”
Wang Yuanwai also laughed and said: "Yes, it's not like we don't have money. If we don't do business for a month or two, it won't hurt our roots. Even if I exchange a hundred strings for a gray hair of those high officials, it's still worth it."
Uncle He Jiu said displeased: "Can it be that I, He, am reluctant to part with this small amount of money? He is just afraid that if he continues like this, he will anger the court."
Li Qi yawned and said calmly: "If you do business, you will be looked down upon. If you don't do business, you will break the law, and you will not be allowed to live."
Hong Bajin laughed and said: "That's right, that's right, I won't let anyone live."
Uncle He Jiu tried and said: "Master Li means to continue making trouble for a while."
Li Qi clicked his tongue and said: "Uncle He Jiu, please think about it before you speak. Don't always pin you on me and make me look like a bandit leader. My current situation is quite dangerous. I have to
To protect myself, to tell you the truth, I recently planned to hide outside for half a month, lest the court accuse me of being the mastermind behind the scenes again, and I would be unjustly accused."
When everyone heard this, they understood in their hearts that the fuss would last for at least half a month. In fact, they came here not only for the delicious food, but also to find out the news.
Hong Bajin said: "Just in time, I plan to go to Daming Mansion to visit relatives."
Zhou Qing thought to himself that it would be dangerous for me to stay here if you all left, and said: "That's true. There is nothing to do while sitting at home. Zhou went to Yingtian Mansion for a walk."
Officer Qian suddenly said: "Master Li, have you heard that the price of food outside is dropping every day?"
As soon as these words came out, all the employees in the restaurant stared at Li Qi.
Li Qi snorted and said, "I heard what Uncle Wu said."
Officer Qian waited for a while, but when he saw that there was nothing more to say, he tried again: "Master Li, don't you have any ideas?"
Li Qi then turned to look at him and said: "Except Mr. Qian, I can't protect myself now, but I still have the mood to buy food. However, I heard that the price of food is already very low, so you can buy it."
Officer Qian was thinking to himself, I really want to buy it, but do I dare? How long will it take for this to end? There is no conclusion yet. Who will I feed it to if I buy it? Also, if you ask me to buy it, I definitely can’t buy it.
Qi Feng frowned and said: "Those grains are all unscrupulous grains. In the past, they made a lot of money from us by hoarding grains. Now that they have hoarded too much grains, they come to us to beg us. There is no such thing in the world."
It makes sense, I wouldn’t buy it anyway.”
"What the president said makes sense, we should unite as one and would rather buy rice at a high price than buy rice from those people," Zhang Yuanwai said.
As soon as these words came out, the shopkeepers of the restaurants expressed their support one after another.
Very good, you just need to persevere, and then let's see how I deal with those idiots. Li Qi laughed secretly in his heart.
Suddenly, there was an uproar among the crowd.
Li Qi turned to look at the field, his eyes suddenly lit up, he let out a slightly surprised sound, and said with a smile: "What a large ham, top quality!"
