If God does evil, you can still live; if you do evil on your own, you can't live.
This sentence is really the most suitable to describe Master Li at this time.
Five hundred coins, what can you do? You can buy a lot of paper, you can buy a few kilograms of grain, but you want to hold a national-level banquet? Li Qi feels a headache just thinking about it. He is the chef, not the chef who sells offal noodles.
Oh my god! You can cook unimaginable dishes with whatever you get. It's just a movie.
Let's put it this way, if one person eats five hundred coins and eats mutton, then there will be no alcohol supply, let alone after-dinner cakes. Wine, dishes, cakes, and rice, these four items are put together, and it is generally impossible to spend five hundred coins.
It’s done in a hundred words.
Of course, this does not mean that five hundred coins per person is not enough. For ordinary people, this is definitely enough. However, under the premise of the request made by Song Huizong, this is undoubtedly difficult to reach the sky.
"Grand Master, Grand Master, please give me your opinion. Is it true that my good intentions are not rewarded?"
As soon as Song Huizong left the hall, Li Qi hurriedly caught up with Cai Jing, with an aggrieved look on his face, as if his chrysanthemum had been popped.
Cai Jing glared at him slightly and said, "You still have the nerve to ask me, do you think you can hide those little tricks you played from me?"
"Uh... Grand Master, I'm not thinking about the new method." Li Qi said sarcastically. He knew in his heart that his plan could only be a surprise. It was almost impossible to hide it from Cai Jing and the others.
Cai Jing snorted: "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have let you succeed just now. But now, you have offended everyone in the court. Can you afford 30% of your salary?"
Sweat! I have been offended many times before. Li Qi curled his lips and said: "This has nothing to do with me. They are the ones who want to cause trouble for the emperor. The emperor allowed them to become money-spreading boys."
Money-spreading boy? Cai Jing broke into a cold sweat and hummed: "Since it has nothing to do with you, then why do you come to me again, go as you go. Stay away from me, just think that I am afraid of you, ugh
"Now that I'm walking with you, I feel like the hairs on my back are standing on end."
Is it such an exaggeration? Still like a glow on his back? Li Qi subconsciously turned his head and took a look. His Adam's apple rolled, and he cursed secretly, fuck! This old guy must have eyes on the back of his head. You all know this. Wait until he turns around again
Come on, Cai Jing has distanced himself from him a long time ago, you still keep your word!
"Taiwei. Taiwei."
"Let's talk tomorrow if we have anything to do."
"My father-in-law---."
"You bastard, you really don't want the world to be in chaos, huh."
"Prince Guangyang, we haven't caught up with each other for a long time. As the saying goes, it's better to choose a day than to hit it. I'm going to treat you today---"
"Haha, Economic Envoy. I'm really sorry. I've already made an appointment with someone today."
"Prime Minister Zuo, tomorrow---."
"Let's talk about tomorrow's matters."
Damn it! Why didn’t you say that today’s work is done today!
Li Qi, who was ostracized by everyone, murmured all the way and unknowingly arrived at the imperial dining room. Li Qi was shocked and said to himself: "This is really weird. Is this God's will? Okay.
Well, I will obey God's will and get the abalone and ginseng back." After saying that, he buried his head and walked in.
Before I even entered the door, I saw the imperial cooks walking out carrying dustpans one by one. I was very curious, so I immediately walked forward, grabbed the little cook, and said: "Hey, what are you doing---Wow
Wow wow, isn't this me--my two-headed abalone? Oh no, where are you going to send these things?"
"Back to the deputy general manager, the emperor has just issued an order. From today on, everything in the imperial dining room will be simplified. Tomorrow's banquet will also be cancelled. We have no choice but to move these materials back to the warehouse."
"No way? So fast? Take a plane!"
Li Qi was completely stunned. After all this time, it seemed that the emperor was serious about it this time.
At this time, a person walked out of the door and smiled at Li Qi: "Oh, brother Li, why are you here?"
Li Qi was startled for a moment, then turned around and held his hands in his hands, smiling and saying: "Brother Zuo, you're fine." But he thought in his heart, this might be my last chance, I must seize it.
Zuo Boqing said half-jokingly: "I'm fine, but I'm almost exhausted. Brother Li, you must be here to help."
Damn! Am I here to help like this? I really don’t know what to say. Li Qi smiled and said: "Where, where, I just came to visit Brother Zuo. You also know that there is a pregnant woman in my house. The woman is here
In this period, it is very difficult to take care of us, and it is really not easy for us to be men."
When Zuo Boqing heard that he took Ji Hongnu out again, he thought to himself, as expected, it seems that he is here to fish in troubled waters again. He nodded with a smile, walked over, and lowered his voice: "You came to see me as a lie,
Look at abalone and ginseng to be real, right?”
Li Qi laughed a few times and said: "At this moment, the only thing I can say is to express what I am thinking. My parents are the ones who gave birth to me, and Boqing is the one who knows me."
Zuo Boqing said angrily: "It's useless even if you talk about it today. Don't go against the wind and commit crimes. I'm doing this all for your own good."
"I know that ---." Li Qi subconsciously prepared to reply politely, but suddenly he felt that the words sounded strange, and he said displeasedly: "Look at what you said, you are committing a crime against the wind, how unpleasant it is.
It should be said that I am working hard. Do you think I am doing this for myself? I am researching new dishes for the palace banquet. To be honest, I have recently experienced a state from the absence of form, that is, having form.
."
Zuo Boqing had heard this reason almost eight hundred times. As for having a phase or having a phase, he didn't want to do it anymore. The pressure was too great. After the banquet without phase, he rested for several days before he recovered. He waved his hand and said
: "Stop talking about these things, it's useless. To tell you the truth, don't talk about you now. Even those in the harem don't dare to make mistakes. Just now, the emperor and the queen mother simultaneously issued an order to the study room and ordered the imperial dining room to be used from now on.
Everything must be kept simple and there must be no extravagance and waste. This is the first time.”
Li Qi was stunned for a moment and said: "You---how did you say the last sentence just now?"
"No extravagance---."
"Not this sentence, the previous sentence."
"Oh, it's the ones in the harem---you know this."
"It's over, it's over." Li Qi patted his forehead and said.
"What's the meaning?"
Li Qi sighed and covered half of his face. "It seems that the people I have offended are far more than that!"
"Ah? What did you say?"
"Nothing, nothing." Li Qi hurriedly shook his head and said without giving up: "Brother Zuo, look at these materials being moved here and there. If there is any damage in the process, no one will find it. I promise, this
This is definitely the last time, and I plan to move all these abalones and ginseng back, and get enough at once, oh no no no. I will study it at home and make a dish that will shock the world and make people cry."
All? Zuo Boqing was dumbfounded when he heard that, and said angrily: "Don't talk about all, you can't even think of taking a green onion out of the palace now. Okay, I have something else to do and I'll go ahead - you two
Come here and assist the deputy general manager."
"yes."
Assistance? Li Qi looked around at the two little cooks beside him. He cursed in his heart, this is not assistance, it is clearly guarding against thieves! Damn it, it’s too abominable, I don’t want it. He shook his sleeves and took a big step.
He left, but didn't go far. He turned back secretly, and there was a faint trace of tears in the corners of his eyes.
Qin Mansion. In the back hall.
"Confucius said benevolence, and Mencius said righteousness. Although I, Li Qi, am not as good as Confucius and Mencius, I also know that diligence and thrift are a virtue of our Chinese nation. I just want to promote this virtue. What's wrong with this?
? There is a saying that if the upper beam is not upright and the lower beam is crooked, whoever is born is destined to be a corrupt official. This is not all forced. Let’s not go into details, let’s talk about those corrupt officials in Jiangnan. They are not just
These accessories of the luxurious life of the high officials in the DPRK are now almost out of the national treasury. No matter what, whether you are a monarch or a minister, you should save a little. I am devoted to the country, but what I get in exchange is an impossible task.
, you can just talk about this kind of thing in private, why do you say it in front of so many people, it’s great now, it’s hard to recover from the flood! That’s it, that’s it, there is a saying in Buddhism, if I don’t go to hell, who will go to hell. Madam,
Madam, damn, aren't you asleep? Can you give me some reaction? Don't let me talk alone!"
As soon as Li Qi returned to the Qin Mansion, he happened to see Mrs. Qin drinking tea and reading in the back hall. His complaints could no longer be suppressed, and they poured out like the Yellow River bursting its banks, but he was the only one from beginning to end.
While talking, Mrs. Qin just sat in a chair and closed the door to relax, which made Li Qi feel like a madman talking to himself.
Mrs. Qin opened her eyes slightly and said calmly: "Actually, you can go talk to Hong Nu about this."
"This is not a good thing. She is pregnant. It is better not to tell her so as not to worry her." Li Qi said depressedly.
"What about bone lust?"
"No matter what, Bone Desire is a Khitan, and his father is still on the run. It is really inappropriate to tell her such things."
"Feng Yinu's head office."
"She is at Master Li's place. Do you want me to go and tell Master Li about the emperor's evil---Yeah, yeah, yeah."
Mrs. Qin frowned slightly and said, "Even so, there is no need for you to tell me. Aren't you afraid that I will miss you again?"
"If I don't tell you, won't you stop nagging? Anyway, you are not my woman. If you are in a bad mood, what does it have to do with me? If I don't look for you, who should I look for?" Li Qi muttered in a low voice.
Mrs. Qin has sharp ears and eyes. Even though Li Qi had lowered her voice low enough, she could still hear a little bit. She opened her beautiful eyes and said, "What are you talking about?"
"ah?"
Li Qi's heart trembled. Could it be that she could read the shape of her mouth? Hehehe said: "Oh, I mean, madam, you are the best listener in the world, because you were born in a famous family, you know the general situation, and you are very strict in speaking. Unlike
Those talkative women like to talk nonsense, and the most they can do is nag a few words. You can nag now, I will listen."
Do you think I want to nag? I am not doing it for your own good. Mrs. Qin said lightly: "If my nagging is useful, then there is no need to nag me anymore. Since it is useless, why do I do it?"
No. I asked you to nag, but you didn’t nag. I didn’t ask you to nag, but you just kept nagging. Women are really complicated animals! Li Qi sighed and said: "Madam, what you said makes sense, my life
Why is it so painful?"
Mrs. Qin snorted softly and said, "You brought this on yourself, and my father is also a victim!"
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said: "Come on, isn't it just 30% of the salary? It's nothing to mention to Uncle Wang. Don't think that I don't know all of Uncle Wang's social expenses since we opened Zuixianju."
I have never given out any money at all. I bring a bunch of people to the door all day long to eat and drink. I still have to take it."
Mrs. Qin suddenly felt dizzy and said, "I know this too, but he is my father, and this is a matter of course. I also paid for him on my father's behalf."
Li Qidao: "Don't say that. You and I are very similar in that we don't like to carry money. You must go to the counter every time and say, charge it to my account."
Mrs. Qin said in surprise: "How did you know that?"
Li Qi said angrily: "Because it's the same for me."
Mrs. Qin was stunned for a moment, smiled, and then coughed softly. She said: "There are still three or four months before the court meeting. Why are you so anxious? With your intelligence, I believe you will be able to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds."
."
These words are pleasant to hear! Li Qi raised his head and said: "Madam, this may be the most honest thing you have ever said, and it is true. Is there anything in the culinary world that I, Li Qi, cannot help with? I
I'm really curious. If Madam knows, please let me know."
It seems that this person no longer has that face. Mrs. Qin glanced sideways, suddenly remembered something, looked a little shy, and whispered: "Li Qi, there is something--I want to ask you to help me."
Li Qi snorted and said Bagua: "Is there another marriage proposal coming? Don't worry, I will help you check. Those who are not half as good as me will definitely be turned away."
Mrs. Qin said angrily: "Where are you going? I just want to ask you if you still have the tickets for tomorrow's Cuju competition."
"What? Tickets?"
Li Qi blinked his eyes blankly, his expression was very unbelievable.
Mrs. Qin's face was like a peach blossom, which could be broken by a blow, and said: "Why are you staring at me?"
"Oh, madam, if you want to go see it, just come with me. No tickets are needed." Li Qi said cheerfully, thinking how exciting it would be to take Madam Qin to the Cuju competition!
Mrs. Qin shook her head and said: "I have never been interested in Cuju, but there are a few relatives on my mother's side who want to see it. But they didn't buy tickets, so they begged my mother to come to me and ask."
So that's it. Li Qi felt a little disappointed and said, "Auntie can ask Uncle Wang to help with this matter. Why do you come to me?"
Mrs. Qin sighed: "You don't know that my father is most afraid of trouble. It is almost impossible for him to go to the Taiwei."
That's true. This may be the only similarity between you and Wang Zhongling. Li Qidao: "I have to ask about this, but I don't think Taiwei has any tickets. After all, the competition starts tomorrow. By the way, what about you?"
How many relatives are male or female?"
Mrs. Qin said warily: "Why do you ask this?"
Damn it! I, Li Qi, am famous for being affectionate, trustworthy, and innocent. Your eyes are so dazzling. Li Qi said angrily: "What if your relatives are all men and are willing to be with me?"
If Gao Yanei is with us, there will be no problem."
I can tell from my buttocks that Gao Yanei must have occupied a VIP room, so there should be no problem in just sitting there.
When Mrs. Qin heard about Gao Yanei, she immediately shook her head like a rattle and said: "That's okay, my relatives are all honest people and they will definitely not get along with Yanei. Just pretend that I didn't say anything. "
Li Qi didn't force it, because Brother Qiu was so unfeeling towards Gao Yanei on this matter, so it was hard for him to ask for it. He said, "Let's do it this way. I'll skip it tomorrow. If they want to go to the next game, I'll do it." Can you help me, after all, I am a trouble-maker."
This last sentence was obviously directed at Mrs. Qin.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you something. Zhao Mingcheng will be returning to Beijing to take up his post soon."
"real?"
"Wow! Madam, why did you get so excited when you heard about Zhao Mingcheng!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? If Mr. Zhao returns to Beijing, then Sister Li will definitely come back as well."
As soon as she said these words, she knew that she had been tricked by Li Qi again, and her teeth ached with hatred!
...
...
The next day.
The long-awaited national competition is finally about to kick off today. With God’s blessing, the people are singing and dancing to welcome this day. They are extremely excited. Not only that, many wealthy men from neighboring countries have also come to Beijing. Watch this Cuju competition. In the streets and alleys, everyone is talking about this Cuju competition. Of course, in the eyes of Tokyo people, Qiyun Society is the biggest favorite.
There are more people, which of course drives consumption. In the past few days, the Tokyo Seventy-Two main store has been packed, as you can imagine. By the time of the finals, I'm afraid I won't be able to fit in the clothes anymore.
In addition, in terms of gambling at Hongwan Casino, the amount of betting has exceeded the original Tokyo final by more than three times. This is still the opening game. It will probably be even more terrifying in the future. But this is no wonder, because this gambling has become a household name and has even expanded abroad. , naturally more people will bet.
In order to avoid losses, the contents of gambling are also varied, which diversifies the betting well.
Today's opening match is between Taiyuan Prefecture's Shayue Society and Fuzhou's Haiming Society.
People in Tokyo don't know much about the strength of these two teams. They can only place bets based on hearsay, but from the handicap point of view, Sage Society has the advantage.
When I arrived at the Cuju competition venue, I saw several long lines in front of the door, and there were huge crowds of people.
"There is still an hour before the game starts, and they are in such a hurry to enter the stadium!" Li Qi shook his head. He and Ma Qiao entered the stadium directly from the VIP channel.
At this time, there were only a few scattered people sitting in the venue. Li Qi took care of himself and checked around with the manager. Seeing that everything was fine, he felt relieved.
As soon as he arrived at the floor where the VIP room was located, Li Qi saw five or six big butts facing him at the first sight, and he exclaimed in his heart. What bad luck! What bad luck! He heard another neat sigh.
I saw Gao Yanei, Hong Tianjiu, Zhou Hua and others lying on the fence, looking at the empty venue, which was extremely empty.
It's better not to deal with them at this time. Li Qi was about to leave quietly when he suddenly heard someone shouting from the side: "Li Qi, why don't you even say hello when you meet?"
He almost forgot that there was another guy who liked to show off. Li Qi turned around and saw Chai Cong sitting alone in the middle of a row of chairs, holding a paper fan. He looked so cool.
Swish, swish, swish!
Gao Yanei and others turned around at the same time, staring at Li Qi with resentful eyes.
Li Qi took two steps back and said with a smile: "I just don't want to disturb everyone's meditation."
Gao Yanei surprisingly did not oppose Li Qi. He sighed and said, "Li Qi, do you think this national competition is boring?"
It hasn't been kicked yet, how do I know? Li Qi asked curiously: "Why did the yamen say this?"
Gao Yanei said: "How beautiful it would be without me on the court."
I don’t know if it’s nice to have you on the court, but it will definitely be very interesting. Li Qi nodded seriously and said: “I didn’t think so at first, but now that I heard what Yanei said, I really feel a bit outcast.”
Gao Yanei sighed: "Many people say this. What a pity. What a momentary mistake, it will be regretted for eternity!"
Chai Cong laughed and said: "Ya Nei, you are not a horse, how can you have hooves?"
Gao Yanei said angrily: "You who haven't read a book, stop talking. Haven't you ever heard of a horse that stumbles? My dad often says this. Is my dad a horse?"
Chai Cong saw that Gao Yanei had already carried Brother Qiu out, so he dared not say anything more.
Hong Tianjiu hummed: "Brother, you still have the nerve to say that if it hadn't been for you, we wouldn't have had to sit up there and watch others play."
Gao Yanei let out an ouch and said, "Xiaojiu, please don't say any more. My brother's heart and intestines are still aching. It's extremely uncomfortable."
Ma Qiao asked curiously: "Yameni, it's understandable that you feel distressed, but your intestines hurt? That means you're sick!"
Gao Yanei said: "Don't you know that the most painful thing in the world is that--what's gone?"
This bastard is really hopeless. Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "Heartbroken."
"Yes, yes, it's just heartbreaking."
Ma Qiao was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "That's it."
Li Qi walked over and said with a smile: "Don't be heartbroken. Anyway, this national competition is not just for this time. We can just come back next year. Maybe it won't be long before other countries will send people to participate.
Then it will be the World Series, and that will be your stage, Gao Yanei."
"World Series?"
Gao Yanei took a sharp breath and his eyes flashed. He fantasized for a long time before he came back and said decisively: "Next year, I will definitely lead our Taiwei Mansion to stand on the top of Huashan Mountain. If anyone dares to stop me, I will
Let him try the power of Xie Yun San."
When Li Qi heard the first half of the sentence, he was a little infected by Gao Yanei's ambition, but when he heard the second half, he couldn't laugh or cry again and said: "Yanei, if you do this, you may never be able to appear in Cuju again.
It’s within the scope of the alliance.”
Gao Yanei curled his lips and said, "I'm just talking, how can you take it seriously?"
Li Qi smiled bitterly and saw that Gao Yanei's face was glowing red today and he was full of energy when he spoke, and said: "Yanei, you look quite good today!"
Gao Yanei opened his eyes and said hehe, "Li Qi, that strange Shiniang really has some tricks up her sleeves. I'm not afraid to tell you that I'm not afraid of insects anymore."
Li Qi gasped and said, "So powerful?"
Gao Yanei nodded and said: "What are you trying to do to lie to me? I dare to eat it with my eyes closed."
Hong Tianjiu said disdainfully: "You just dare to eat it with your eyes closed."
As soon as these words came out, Li Qi, Zhou Hua and the others burst into laughter.
