Chapter eight hundred and thirty fifth failed attempt
In the early morning of this day, the sun had just revealed a small part of its face, but there were already people standing in front of Zuixianju, almost lining up to go into the river, and everyone looked excited.
"Why aren't you opening the door yet?"
"I'm so anxious."
"Oh, I didn't expect you to come earlier than me."
"You see there are so many people here, why don't you come earlier?"
"Hey, little brother, what are you doing?"
"Hi! Don't you know, today Zuixianju will launch their latest unique brew of Tianxia Wushuang. It is said that the taste of this Tianxia Wushuang is extremely special, completely different from the previous Tianxia Wushuang."
"I also heard that this kind of bubble bubbles is unparalleled in the world. It's very magical."
"Bubbling? So magical?"
"Have you not seen that there are so many people here? They will definitely sit here all day today. If you come late, there will be no seats."
"That's not true. You can't drink here. You can go to the bar to drink at night."
"You don't understand this. I've heard people say that this kind of unparalleled one in the world is currently extremely limited. There are only so many in one day, and once you finish drinking it, it will be gone."
"Hey, the wine is the next best thing. I won't drink it until tomorrow. The key point is that today is the first day that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is published. It's not sold outside. You have to come to Zuixianju to see it."
"That's right, that's right. I've been waiting for this day until my hair turns white."
"How far do you think Guo Jing has reached with his Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms?"
"It must be the best in the world."
"No, no, he should be second in the world. Guo Jing has never defeated Huang Rong!"
"I can finally see my Ronger."
"My favorite is the old naughty boy. Guo Jing should not be able to beat him."
"Who said that Guo Jing can also fight with each other!"
.......
It turns out that as this summer is about to leave, Li Qi will finally launch beer and milk powder. For this, he also used "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to attract customers, which can be said to be fully prepared.
The guests have been looking forward to it for a long time. Why don't you get here earlier? After all, there are a lot of young people in Tokyo. If you don't come early, others will have to wear out their chairs when they sit down. You won't be able to get a seat even if you wait for a day.
.
After waiting for a while, the door finally opened. Tian Qi stood in front of the door and raised his hands. As soon as the words came to his mouth, there was only a burst of noise. In a moment, the people blocking the door poured in like a tide.
, except for the private rooms on the third floor, the first and second floors are already full.
The guests were clamoring for wine and newspapers, and Tian Qi was so noisy that he raised his hands in the air and shouted: "Dear guests, distinguished guests, please listen to me."
The guests became quiet one after another. Tian Qi hurriedly said: "The Song Dynasty Times Magazine will be delivered to everyone later. As for Unparalleled in the World, you have to wait until noon to drink it."
"Why is that? It's not like we don't pay."
"Yes! You don't care when we drink it, just take it out quickly."
"Hurry up, hurry up, I can't wait any longer."
...
The guests protested one after another. Tian Qi couldn't help but feel a little headache when he saw them being so excited.
"Haha! You all are so supportive!"
With a burst of laughter, Li Qi walked in from outside.
Tian Qi hurried over and said: "Brother, they---."
Li Qi raised his hand, walked in, cupped his hands towards the guests and said, "Good morning, everyone!"
"Good morning, Master Li (economic envoy)!"
The guests returned the favor one after another. One person suddenly asked: "Master Li, why did Tian Qi say that Tianxia Wushuang has to wait until noon to drink?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Because drinking it now is a waste."
"Oh? How do you say this?"
Li Qidao: "You must have heard that at present, this kind of unparalleled wine is still limited. You can't drink as much as you want. In order to welcome the arrival of this kind of unparalleled wine, we at Zuixianju have specially prepared a set of dishes for this kind of wine.
I promise that you will not be disappointed. Moreover, our breakfast in Zuixianju is not suitable for drinking. If you drink now, you will have to drink less at noon. When the house is full of delicious food but no wine, wouldn’t it be very disappointing?
, this is not a waste, what is it.”
After hearing this, everyone felt that it made sense. It was indeed a waste to take buns and cakes with wine, so they could only wait patiently.
Li Qi added: "But it doesn't matter. Recently, I have developed a new type of drink, specially formulated for morning tea. You can try it soon. As for the Song Dynasty Times Weekly, it will be sent to you later."
Beer and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will be a big hit. This is a certain thing. Li Qi has no doubt. The key today is whether the milk powder can be successful. He is not making milk powder for babies, but to improve the health of the residents of the Song Dynasty.
In terms of quality, you must know that during the Meiji Restoration hundreds of years later, this milk also played a huge role. A strong country must first strengthen its body.
When the crowd heard this, they were very excited.
Li Qi immediately winked at Tian Qi, and saw the bartenders starting to recommend milk to the guests.
When the guests saw that it was milk, their interest was slightly reduced, but since it was created by the Golden Knife Chef King, there must be something unusual about it. The guests were very considerate, and everyone sitting there asked for a glass of milk.
After a while, milk and various breakfast items were served.
Li Qi stood on the second floor, also very nervous, tapping the fence with his fingers.
"Huh? This milk is quite special. It's still warm."
"The aroma is also different, there is no fishy smell at all."
"How about a taste?"
...
The guests picked up the milk and drank it, but after taking a sip, they looked at each other, but no one applauded.
After a while, someone faintly heard someone say: "I tasted it right, right? This---is this really made by the Golden Knife Chef King?"
"Since you said so, you must be right. The taste of this milk is quite ordinary."
"Yes! I didn't expect that the Golden Knife Chef King would also fail."
...
Li Qi frowned slightly when he heard this, and came to a table nearby and said, "Guests, what do you think of this milk?"
One of the guests nodded and said: "It's very --- delicious."
There was a hint of reluctance in his voice.
Li Qi smiled bitterly and said: "You are all regular customers, why bother to see outsiders? Just say whatever you want."
"Then I'll tell the truth later."
"Say it."
"Actually, the milk in your store is much better than those milks, but that's all. The taste is very average, better than the best in the world. Milk tea and juice are much worse. I still like milk tea."
"Yes! Master Li, with all due respect, the taste of this milk is just average."
.......
The guests are not very interested in this milk. After all, they all like to drink. The next best thing is tea. Mongolians drink this milk.
Disappointed!
Li Qi has been in the Northern Song Dynasty for so long. From the stinky tofu at the beginning to now, all the products he has launched are unpopular and have never failed. However, judging from the reaction of everyone today, this milk powder is a complete failure.
The key is that no matter how you make the taste of milk powder, it will be about the same. Even in later generations, milk powder only has a few flavors. His milk powder is naturally not as good as those in later generations. But if you treat milk powder as a drink, you will definitely be disappointed.
of.
Moreover, what depresses Li Qi the most is that if the guests don’t like food, they just don’t like it. No matter how clever you are and how good your eloquence is, you can’t change other people’s tastes. Even in later generations of China, most people still
He has not developed the habit of drinking milk. This is indeed a challenge for Li Qi.
"Brother, what should we do now?" Tian Qi came to Li Qi and said with a depressed face. He has been with Li Qi for so long and has never experienced failure. This is also a big blow to him.
.
Li Qi shook his head and said, "Let's prepare for the Song Dynasty Times Magazine."
"oh."
After Tian Qi left, Li Qi leaned against the fence alone and began to think deeply. After a while, someone next to him suddenly laughed and said: "This is the first time I have seen someone worry about doing business well."
Li Qi was slightly startled, then turned around and saw Cai Jing, Gao Qiu, and Bai Shizhong standing beside them. He quickly raised his hands and saluted, and said: "The Grand Master is joking, please come upstairs."
Li Qi invited the three of them into the private room upstairs and said with a smile: "Captain, father-in-law, why are you here today?"
Now he was calling his father-in-law according to the order. How could Bai Shizhong dare to refute? He coughed and said: "I heard that your Zuixianju launched new wine and new dishes today, so I came over to take a look at the excitement.
"
Cai Jing stroked his beard and added: "There is also a new story. I heard it from the emperor himself. He has already read this story. The content is very interesting, so he can't wait to come."
What's interesting? That Hunjun is really worried about the world being in chaos. Li Qi naturally understood what Song Huizong meant by interesting, and said modestly: "The emperor has given me the reward."
Gao Qiu suddenly said: "I came here today because I have something to come to you for." There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
"What?"
Gao Qiu rolled his eyes at him and said: "The National Cuju Competition has been delayed for a long time. Cuju teams from all over the country have already arrived in Beijing. If it doesn't start, I'm afraid we will have to postpone it until next year."
Li Qi was confused and said: "Ah? The national competition hasn't started yet?"
When Gao Qiu heard this, he glared at Li Qi fiercely and said, "It's not all because of you. It was originally scheduled for the beginning of the year, but the Fengxiang Incident at that time made the whole court very nervous, so I could only postpone the competition. Later,
You are retiring again. Tokyo is in chaos. I can only postpone it again. Now that everything has calmed down, you can no longer stand by and watch. I also plan to hold the badminton competition together with the national competition, so as to attract more people.
Watch badminton.”
You can't blame me for this! I'm a victim too! Li Qi smiled apologetically and said, "Oh, I'll take the time to check it out." But in his heart, he thought, the most I can do is use my mouth, and you can do the rest by yourself.
Done.
Cai Jing laughed a few times and asked: "By the way, Li Qi, why did you look so sad just now?"
Li Qi was stunned and said subconsciously: "It's not because of the milk." (To be continued...)
