Li Qi originally wanted to wait for the hot pot trend to pass before launching his own signature dish, but recently Jade Hotpot and Fan Lou have also launched Jade Hotpot and Jinyu Hotpot, and after Huang Wenye's trouble last time, his reputation
He also made great progress, so he struck while the iron was hot and launched his own signature dishes, such as pot-roasted pork, Mapo tofu, pickled fish, Kung Pao chicken, pork liver and other ten delicacies.
All of them were not available in the Northern Song Dynasty.
What we play is novel, it has been imitated and never surpassed.
However, since Wu Xiaoliu and the others' cooking skills have not yet met the requirements of these dishes, only gold members can eat these dishes. The price is naturally not low, with the lowest dish costing 500 Wen.
There is no shortage of rich people in Bianjing. Five hundred coins for a dish is really nothing to them.
As soon as these dishes were launched, they were well received. All the guests who came here wanted to eat them all at once. The number of gold members was increasing day by day. Li Qi, who had just taken a breath, was now very busy again. His name was also like Qin
Madam's behavior spread throughout Bianjing City.
Whenever Li Qi cooks, he asks Wu Xiaoliu and the others to learn from the sidelines. These dishes are relatively easy to make. If Wu Xiaoliu and the others learn how to cook, he can introduce more difficult dishes, such as Tai Chi.
Prawns, dragon and phoenix, etc.
Li Qi's superb cooking skills have also raised everyone's curiosity about the three unknown and peerless delicacies to the extreme. But unfortunately, no one can understand any of the three combinations until now.
The business was getting more and more prosperous, and Li Qi was naturally very happy. However, for several days, Ji Hongnu never showed up, which made him very disappointed. However, this kind of thing was reluctant, but he did not go back immediately.
Find another geisha, because this is the best excuse for him to go to Fengqi Tower next time.
Ji Hongnu didn't wait, but two big crocodiles came.
Bai Shizhong and Mrs. Qin’s father Wang Zhongling.
It seems that they came to Zuixianju this time not for food, but for Li Qi.
Although Li Qi has never met these two old guys, he is very familiar with them. For no other reason than that these two old guys come to Zuixianju to book banquets every now and then. The most important thing is that these two old guys have never paid.
I spent money and didn’t even get a membership card.
Pit! Too pitiful!
There was no way, why did they have such a strong relationship with Mrs. Qin, Li Qi could only cry silently.
In the private room of the heaven and earth, the old man sitting on the upper seat wears a square hat, has a thin face, protruding cheekbones, a black and white goat's beard, and bright eyes, which vaguely shows the style of the past.
, this person is Youxiang Bai Shizhong.
Sitting next to Bai Shizhong was a chubby old man with a red face and a smile that squeezed his eyes into slits. He looked like a long-haired Maitreya Buddha. This man was Mrs. Qin's father, Wang Zhongling.
However, Li Qi expressed doubts about this. How could someone with this appearance give birth to such a stunning beauty as Mrs. Qin? Would she really treat herself as a beauty salon?
In addition, Mrs. Qin was also sitting aside.
"My Excellency, Li Qi, I have met these two adults."
Li Qi saluted Bai Shizhong and Wang Zhongling respectively, but secretly murmured in his heart, why did these two old guys suddenly come to me?
Bai Shizhong looked at Li Qi, stroked his beard, nodded and said with a smile: "He is indeed a talented person."
It was the first time in Bai Shizhong's life to describe a cook by his talent.
But Li Qi didn't take it seriously after hearing it. Apart from agreeing with Bai Shizhong's words, his mood didn't fluctuate much and he just smiled slightly.
Wang Zhongling smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know what kind of luck my in-laws got. This Zuixianju was about to close down, and this guy suddenly appeared and saved the store again. It's really hard for my little girl."
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Mrs. Qin said dissatisfied.
Wang Zhongling smiled and said no more. After all, there was an outsider like Li Qi here.
Li Qi sounded a little confused. I saved this Zui Xianju. From your tone, it seems like you still blame me.
As everyone knows, since Mrs. Qin's husband died, Wang Zhongling has always wanted his daughter to sell the shop and live back home. Originally, Mrs. Qin had agreed, but unfortunately Li Qi suddenly came to this world and turned the situation around. Come here, it’s really not as good as God.
Bai Shizhong heard his old friend's complaint and knew the reason. He laughed, changed the subject, and asked Li Qi: "I heard that you made the stinky tofu, Yuanyang Hot Pot, and Unparalleled Under Heaven."
Li Qi nodded and said, "Not bad."
"Did you come up with these by yourself? Or were they taught by others?"
"It was passed down from my father." Li Qi said neither humble nor arrogantly. His cooking skills were originally taught by his father. It is reasonable to say so.
"Then your father is still here?"
This question was really difficult for Li Qi to answer. Li Qi shook his head sadly and did not give a clear answer.
Bai Shizhong nodded slightly. Since Li Qi's father was dead, he couldn't say anything more. He pointed to the hanging beam and said, "The three couplets above are probably yours."
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then secretly glanced at Mrs. Qin, who happened to be looking over as well. As soon as the two of them made eye contact, Li Qi immediately understood and said: "They were not done by me, but what I heard from others."
Mrs. Qin just told him with her eyes, just tell the truth.
"Nonsense, these three combinations are eternal and absolute. How can you just hear it through hearsay." Wang Zhongling said solemnly. He also knew something about Li Qi forcing Mrs. Qin to come out and take over Zuixianju, and he was very opposed to this. , but he couldn't defeat Mrs. Qin, so he could only transfer his anger to Li Qi.
Bai Shizhong stretched out his hand to signal his old friend to calm down, and then said with a smile: "If that's the case, then why did you tell my daughter last time that these three couplets were copied from behind the door of that latrine?"
This white lady is so serious. She even told her father about this trivial matter of sesame seeds and mung beans, and I was really convinced.
"this---."
Li Qi looked embarrassed. He had too little ink in his belly. If he said that these three couplets were written by him, others would definitely reveal the truth if they tried a little.
"What about this, that, you kid just tell the truth." Wang Zhongling said anxiously.
Bai Shizhong smiled and said, "What? Do you have something to hide?"
Strange? Why are these two old guys so interested in those three couplets?
Li Qi frowned secretly, hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said: "How dare I deceive you, sir? It's just that I heard these three couplets. If I had done it, I would have admitted it long ago. This is not something that ruins the family tradition."
Bai Shizhong was slightly startled, seeing that what he said was reasonable, but he still didn't seem to believe Li Qi's words, and asked tentatively: "Then do you have a second line in your mind?"
Sweat! I'm a cook, and you asked me to go to the counter? I really don't know how you, the prime minister, got to sit on it.
Li Qi smiled bitterly and said: "Your Excellency, you are too flattering to me. I am just a cook. If you are cooking, you are still a bit confident. As for this pair, I am really not good at it."
Bai Shizhong knew that this question was a bit idiotic, so he blushed and said, "Okay, since you mentioned cooking, what are the three delicacies behind these three couplets, and what are they about?"
Li Qi knew that Mrs. Qin must have understood this, and said with a smile: "Actually, those three delicacies were passed down from the ancestors of my Li family."
Wang Zhongling glared at Li Qi for a moment and said angrily: "If my daughter hadn't informed me in advance, I would have really thought that those three dishes were passed down from the ancestors of the Qin family."
Li Qi smiled and did not dare to answer.
"So, do those three wooden boards really have the names of three dishes written on them?" Bai Shizhong asked.
"Of course it's true. How dare I deceive you?"
"Then can you tell me what kind of delicacies those three dishes are?"
"No." Li Qi shook his head.
Bai Shizhong was slightly startled. He never expected that Li Qi would reject him so simply without giving him any face. He was both angry and angry at the same time, and asked: "Why is this?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Actually, these are just three dish names. Even if you tell the adults, it doesn't matter. But our business in Zuixianju has always been based on integrity. Since we have told the guests, we can only tell them the following couplets."
Only when I come here can I see the name of the dish. If I tell you in advance, it will be very unfair to those who are against me."
"What if I insist on seeing it?" Wang Zhongling narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile.
Li Qi smiled and said: "If you insist on seeing it, I can only offer it with both hands."
Wang Zhongling smiled and nodded, as if to say, you are a smart kid.
Unexpectedly, Li Qi changed the topic and said: "Please, after reading this, please do not tell others."
"Why is this?"
Li Qidao: "Because of this, I can write down the names of three more dishes, which can be considered as an explanation to the guests."
Wang Zhongling's expression suddenly froze.
Bai Shizhong was also stunned for a moment, burst out laughing, and said: "It seems that what I said is indeed right. If I want to take advantage of you, it will be even harder than climbing to the sky."
"My concubine is joking. I am a well-known honest person. I stick to my heart and never lie to others." Li Qi blushed and said shyly. He thought to himself, it seems that White Snake has misunderstood me very much.
When Mrs. Qin heard this, she almost laughed out loud. When did you kid ever say the truth?
When Bai Shizhong heard this, he felt it was very reasonable. Li Qi would rather take the risk of offending the two court officials than break his promise to his guests. He must be a trustworthy person. His affection for him increased even more.
, nodded and said: "Okay then, we won't make things difficult for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qi shouted loudly: "Thank you for your understanding, sir. I am very grateful." It seemed that he was afraid that they would regret it.
A typical villain who succeeds.
Wang Zhongling snorted: "Don't thank me too early. Let me ask you, if someone really comes to tell me, can you cook those three dishes?"
"As long as the customer can afford the money, I can certainly do it," Li Qi said confidently.
Bai Shizhong smiled and said: "It's one thing to do well, but it's another thing to do well. Whether you can satisfy the customers is the most important thing."
You still need to teach me this.
Li Qi smiled and said: "Thank you for reminding me, sir, but I am sure that I will never let our guests down."
"Okay. I believe you for now, but you have to remember what you said today." Bai Shizhong nodded.
Li Qi was stunned and felt that there was something in Bai Shizhong's words, so he couldn't guarantee it. He held his hands and said, "Sir, please don't worry, I will never secretly tell others the names of these three dishes."
This kid is really a headache.
Bai Shi smiled bitterly in his heart. He asked so many questions, and it seemed that Li Qi had answered them all. But when he looked back, it seemed that Li Qi didn't say anything. He said: "Okay, what do you think?
, I understand. You can go and do your work first."
"Then I'll take my leave now. Oh, if you still want to eat something, just ask me. I'll be the host of today's meal."
Wang Zhongling was so angry that he almost broke down and said angrily: "Bai Xiang is a high-ranking official in the imperial court, how can he ask you to be a host?" He naturally knew that Li Qi was also a shareholder of Zuixianju, but when these words came out of his mouth,
It just makes people feel uncomfortable.
Li Qi panicked and said: "That's it, that's it. I'm confused for the next moment. I hope you two adults won't be surprised."
Bai Shizhong didn't know what Li Qi was thinking, so he smiled and said: "Since you are so generous with your fists, I will be disrespected by you."
Damn it! An old fox is an old fox. He would rather lose face than pay. You are ruthless. Sooner or later, I will definitely get back the money for this meal with interest.
Li Qi's expression froze, and he said with a smile: "Thank you for being so considerate of me, I'm really flattered."
