"Yu Chen, the cook didn't return to the Qin Mansion last night, nor did he go to his own manor. He was clearly trying to trick us on purpose. It's really abominable."
"Yuchen, Yuchen, I just got the news that the cook is hiding in Faxing Temple in the north of the city."
"Is this news reliable?"
"It should be reliable. I also paid money to ask the servants of the Qin Mansion."
"No matter whether he is reliable or not, we have to find him. Let's go to Faxing Temple."
Two hours later.
Faxing Temple.
A young novice monk clasped his hands and said, "Donors, I'm so sorry. Donor Li has just gone down the mountain."
"What a coincidence? You didn't lie to me to wait, did you?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare. Monks don't lie. If the donors don't believe it, they can go into the temple and have a look."
Song Yuchen frowned and said, "Then did he say where he was going?"
The young novice said: "As I said, the young monk faintly heard Master Li saying in front of him that no matter what he does, he must be fair. After visiting the temple, he must go to the Taoist temple. Only in this way can he be protected by God. Later, Master Li said
, just go to Unzen Temple on the southern outskirts of the city."
"South of the city? This is the north of the city. Yuchen, is this young monk lying to us?"
Song Yuchen shook his head and said: "This tone is quite similar to that of the cook. There should be nothing wrong with it. Let alone going to the south of the city now, even if we go to hell, we have to find him."
As soon as they left, Chen Anan suddenly walked out, looked at the backs of Song Yuchen and others, and said with disdain: "Are you idiots worthy of fighting with my elder brother?" He took out another bunch of copper coins.
, threw it to the little monk, and asked with a smile: "Hey, little monk, I didn't expect you to tell lies. You are much better than me, but a little worse than my brother Li."
"Amitabha."
The young monk put the copper coins into his sleeves, clasped his hands and said, "The donor is laughing. This is what the host ordered. The young monk dare not neglect it."
Chen Anan laughed and said: "Brother is right, as long as you have money, the Buddha will come to beg you."
...
For two days in a row, Song Yuchen and others were tricked by Li Qi into running around and around. They almost turned the entire Bianjing city upside down and were exhausted to death, but there was no sign of Li Qi. Now, they only saw Li Qi.
Servants all over the street asked everyone they met if they had seen Li Qi, but no one knew Li Qi's whereabouts.
On the sparkling Jinshui River, a small cruise ship floats on it.
Suddenly, a depressed sigh came from the cruise ship, and Li Qi was seen lying in the cabin. He crossed his legs and stared blankly ahead, saying: "Such a narrow space, it is a waste not to have beautiful women to accompany you. It's hateful.
Feng Yinu, how dare you let me go."
It turned out that Feng Yinu was coming, but she saw that the ship was so big, and Yelu Guyu and the others were not there. She felt a little timid, so she changed her mind and did not get on the ship. But Li Qi was so angry that he didn't eat anything all night
For midnight snacks, he didn't look for Yelu Gu Lu because he knew that there must be informants around the Qin Mansion.
"Oh, Junior Sister, Junior Sister, come on, I have caught another big fish for my brother, haha, we are in for a treat this noon."
Ma Qiao's shouts came from outside again, and his voice was full of excitement, but it further highlighted Li Qi's desolation. In the past two days, Ma Qiao had been extremely happy. As he said, he could be in such a narrow space.
Getting along with Lu Meimei, life is like this, what more can I ask for.
Li Qi almost cried when he heard this, and said sadly: "I think I, Li Qi, have four beautiful wives. Everyone says that I enjoy the blessings of everyone, but I didn't expect that there would be a time when I would be reduced to a light bulb. Alas,
Who dares to be worse than me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Meimei came to the front and said: "Master ---?"
Do you have to help them cook? I don't want to live anymore. With tears in his eyes, Li Qi said calmly: "I heard it, the guy from Maqiao caught a fish, but I'm in a bad mood today, you can figure it out for yourself.
I eat ready-made food, oh, you two can bring it in after you finish it, I like to be alone."
"Ah? Oh."
...
Just like that, another day passed.
"Bu Shuai, Bu Shuai, come out quickly."
Li Qi was sleeping soundly when he heard someone calling him outside. He opened his eyes in a daze and said, "What's going on?"
"Gao Yanei and the others are here."
"What?"
Li Qi suddenly woke up and took a look out of the cabin. He saw a big ship suddenly appeared beside him. Gao Yanei stood on the deck with his hands on his hips and laughed loudly: "Li Qi, I finally found you."
Li Qi looked up and said: "You have found this, Yanei, you are really amazing."
"Wow haha, that goes without saying."
Suddenly, there was another heavy cough on the deck. Gao Yanei's face tightened, he turned around, nodded and said: "Dad, Uncle Bai, Uncle Cai, look, Li Qi is here."
In a moment, Gao Qiu, Cai Sui and Bai Shizhong appeared on the deck.
Li Qicuo said in astonishment: "Captain, father-in-law, second master, why are you all here?"
Bai Shizhong said: "You guys have the nerve to say it, but now the whole government and the public have been turned upside down by you, and we have nothing to do."
Cai Sui said: "Li Qi, the emperor asked us to give you oral instructions. This is enough."
Gao Qiu smiled and said: "You can take care of yourself. Kang'er, let's go."
"Li Qi, let's leave first. You can swim slowly, haha."
The big boat started suddenly, and a wave came over, almost capsizing Li Qi's small boat. Li Qi raised his middle finger without hesitation and said: "Damn! Do you understand the traffic rules? This is what I did.
It will kill people."
Maqiao, a landlubber, turned pale with fright and said, "Bu Shuai, what should I do now?"
"What else can we do? Go back. Alas, there is no time to play!"
...
In the evening, it was dinner time, and the Zuixianju was packed with people and very lively.
"Master Li."
"Master Li is here."
"Hey! Master Li, you finally showed up, but you don't know that some people are looking for you all over the street now."
...
The guests were all startled when they saw Li Qi's sudden arrival, and then they quickly gathered around and started talking in all directions.
Li Qi chuckled: "Really? I recently traveled far away. I wonder what those people want from me?"
"I won't know until later."
"It seems to be Song Yuchen and the others."
"There are many others. Do you owe them money?"
"Do you think I'm someone who owes money?" Li Qi rolled his eyes at the man and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I already know about this matter. You can just order food from death today. Don't do it."
Just be polite and someone will come to pay the bill later."
"Is it true?"
"Believe it or not, I, Zuixianju, will not let you pay tonight."
As soon as he said this, there was a burst of noise, and the guests who had been surrounding Li Qi just now had all sat back, calling the bartender at the top of their lungs, for fear of falling behind, and their expressions were extremely excited.
Li Qi smiled, let out a breath, and found a chair to sit down. At this time, Tian Qi suddenly came over and said: "Brother, have you eaten? The box in the human world is still empty.
."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "Keep that box for me, it will be useful later."
"oh."
In less than a moment, I saw a group of people coming in from outside, it was Song Yuchen, Zou Zijian and others.
"Economic Envoy. Economic Envoy, you are finally willing to show up. You can make it easier for us to find you."
When Song Yuchen and others saw Li Qi, they were so excited that they almost shed tears. They had been put through a lot in the past few days.
I came here looking for pigs to be slaughtered. If I don’t slaughter them, I would really feel sorry for the folks. Li Qi didn’t get up and sat in the middle of the hall. He waved his hands and said, “No, no, no, no, I’m no longer an economic officer now, so you might as well call me Master Li.”
."
Zou Zijian said with a flattering smile: "How can I do that? Apart from you, in the whole world, I have the ability to be an economic envoy."
Li Qi let out a sigh and said: "Brother, I remember you didn't say that at the beginning. What you seemed to be saying is, I'm a cook. I just cook well. Why should I become an official? I'm not asking for trouble."
Well. I’m not going to hide it from my brother, I’ve been thinking about it at home for a few days, and I think what my brother said is reasonable. I’m going to come back and cook today. I hope you all will support me!”
"Oh, Master Li is coming back. That's great."
"We will definitely come back to support you."
"Yes, if Master Li comes back to Zuixianju, I will book this table."
.......
A group of guests started to make noise there.
Li Qi was so moved that he held up his hands and said, "Everyone is so supportive, I really don't know what to say."
After all, Zou Zijian's mental quality was not on the same level as Li Qi's. He immediately panicked and said hurriedly: "No, no, no, that's just what Zou said when he was drunk. You can't take it seriously. You can't take it seriously. As an economic officer, if you don't become an economic officer,
, that is a loss for the people of the world. Zou is not talented, and I would like to ask for economic envoys on behalf of the people of the world, so that he can put the people of the world first and serve as an economic envoy again."
Li Qi let out a cry and said: "Brother, you are exaggerating. This is not the way to boast. Can you replace the people of the world? I really don't know what to say."
"What the economic envoy said was that this was Zou's slip of the tongue. How could Zou be so virtuous and capable as to replace the people of the world?" Zou Zijian was almost forced to hang himself by his father. Even if Li Qi beat him hard now, he
You also have to keep a smile on your face.
Li Qi sighed and said, "I'm a little thirsty."
Zou Zijian's fat body suddenly became stronger. In the blink of an eye, he handed over a cup of tea and said: "Economic Envoy, please have some tea."
Li Qi frowned and said, "It seems like Brother Bitch is still unhappy with me."
I've already done this, what else do you want from me? Zou Zijian was about to cry. He forced a smile from between his teeth and said, "What do you mean by the economic commander?"
Li Qi coughed lightly and said, "It's such a hot day. Why don't you make me a cup of such hot tea? Don't you clearly want to burn me to death?"
"It's easy, just fan it to cool it down."
At this time, there was another laugh from the side, and then a cattail leaf fan was handed to Zou Zijian.
Li Qi turned around and saw Hong Tianjiu holding a cattail leaf fan with a sly smile on his face, and Zhou Hua and Chai Cong standing behind him. He smiled bitterly and said, "Why are you three here?"
Chai Cong said with a smile: "Of course I came here to watch the excitement, otherwise I would have come to eat grass."
Eating grass? Li Qi coughed lightly and said, "Chai Cong, please be careful with your words and don't damage the reputation of the shop."
Hong Tianjiu pushed the fan forward again and shouted: "Hey, fat man, do you want to fan yourself or not?"
The whole place suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Zou Zijian's body.
Li Qi looked at him with a smile, but didn't say anything.
Zou Zijian stared at the cattail leaf fan, the fat on his left cheek trembled slightly, and his fat face became shiny. He suddenly closed his eyes, took a breath, opened his eyes again, and reached out.
Take that cattail fan.
"Zijian."
Song Yuchen suddenly grabbed his hand and whispered to Li Qi: "Economist, can you lend me a step to speak?"
"What?"
Li Qi heard this and suddenly shouted: "Master Song is planning to treat guests again? What? He also invites all the guests in the store to dinner, wow! It's really generous." He stood up and said with a smile: "Dear guests.
, Mr. Song is in a good mood today, he said that he wanted to treat us, so why don’t you thank Mr. Song quickly.”
Song Yuchen was stunned immediately.
Li Qi glanced with a smile and said, "Song Gong, did I hear wrongly?"
Song Yuchen was slightly startled and said hurriedly: "No, no." He then said to the guests: "I'm treating you today, you're welcome."
Li Qi hurriedly added: "Anyone who is polite is looking down on our number one talent in Tokyo."
This talented man's shout is extremely ironic.
Hong Tianjiu shouted: "Brother, all the vegetarian dishes in your store are vegetarian. Who has an appetite for them?"
Oops, why did I forget this, and I lost a few kilograms of meat? What a pity. Li Qi chuckled and said, "Master Song, of course, when treating guests, wine comes first."
Zuixianju's Tian Xia Wushuang is famously expensive. Of course, if someone is treating you, that's a different story.
The guests' eyes flashed sharply, they cheered loudly, and thanked Song Yuchen one after another. Song Yuchen had no time to enjoy the cheers now, so he casually prevaricated a few words and said to Li Qi: "Economic envoy, then--"
Li Qi raised his hand and said: "Forget about this fan. However, if we are talking about private matters, I don't have a deep friendship with you. Besides, I am a cook and you are talented people. If we can't fight together, there is nothing to do.
Talking. If we are talking about official matters, you, haha, are not qualified enough."
The expressions of Song Yuchen and others changed.
Li Qi's expression also changed, he squinted at Zou Zijian, and said disdainfully: "Little bitch, don't put on such a pitiful expression, I won't sympathize with you, but I won't take the opportunity to bully you, it doesn't mean that I am
What kind of bullshit gentlemen are you? It's just that you guys are not even qualified to be bullied by me. Why are you still standing here? Didn't I make it clear enough? Talented people should understand the truth."
The highest level of stepping on someone is to treat the other person as a piece of shit, and you are afraid that your feet will be dirty if you step on them.
At this point, Song Yuchen and others all understood that if they continued to stand, they would only be embarrassed. They said goodbye, then turned and walked towards the door.
"Remember to pay before leaving. Our store does not accept credit." Li Qi did not forget to add.
(It’s the beginning of a new week, so I’m asking for recommendations, monthly votes, and all sorts of things.) (To be continued..)
