Lu Li didn't know who these people were, Wei Laicai hurriedly got closer and introduced him, "Brother Tong is called Tong Tiantong, and Brother Li is called Tan Huili, both of whom do the same business as Brother Qi, but the size is different; In particular, Brother Li is the sous chef in charge of Xiangyunju Restaurant. He is the first class person in the industry. ”

"How does it compare to Brother Seven?" Wei Laicai smiled silently, and the meaning of this smile was very intriguing. Without waiting for Lu Li to speak, he took the first step to greet him, "Brother Tong, Brother Li!" ”

Several people know each other, but the relationship is far and near, and Qi Tiantong smiled kindly, "Cai Ji, all the major restaurants in Hong Kong know that you have found a new source of wealth?" When will you take care of my brother? ”

"Where, Brother Tong still doesn't know me? I want to eat salted fish and I'm afraid of being thirsty, besides, my wealth is shallow, how dare I disturb a real dragon like Brother Tong? ”

Wei Laicai's incoherent words made Lu Li unconsciously, "[***] You old mother!" The man who had been chewing turned around and took a sip, a big ball of blood, Lu Li didn't know, and thought he was vomiting blood!" You are the king of Chi Asa Bata! ”

Wei Laicai was humiliated in public, but he didn't dare to act at all, but as if he was honored, he grinned, "Yes, Brother Li is right, my wealth is Wang Batou!" ”

Tan Huili laughed and scolded fiercely: "[***] You old mother! He looked up and asked, "Well, which is what?" ”

Lu Li had already roughly guessed what was going on, smiled and took a few steps forward, arching his hand, "Brother Li, Brother Tong." ”

"You're the Lekkini?" Tan Huili rolled his eyes, took out something from his arms and put it in his mouth, the tip of his tongue turned, and he chewed it in a big mouthful, Lu Li was a little strange, what did he eat? Chewing gum? "Li Ji, you don't know me, let me tell you, I'm from Teochew! The most important thing for our Chaozhou people is that you respect me a foot, and I pay you a penny? This time, I don't care how many things you bring back from the mainland, as long as you make me satisfied, the price is not a problem. ”

Lu Li nodded, this was originally the purpose of the other party's visit, the only thing that is not grasped now is how did the other party get the news? But this question quickly became clear: Bao Qi glared at Shan Ji and En Ji viciously, obviously settling his anger on these two people halfway!

"Brother Li can afford me and is willing to take care of the kid's business, that is, it can't be better. It is not practical for Brother Li to come in person, if you make a phone call, who else in Hong Kong dares to refute your Brother Li's face? Lu Li smiled flatteringly, his words and deeds were low, and said: "However, Brother Li, you may also know that the kid is a newcomer, and in such a big pier as Hong Kong, which one plucks a cold hair, which one is thicker than the kid's waist!" I...... Whose eyebrows would I dare to shave, right? ”

"Less nonsense! At a young age, what do you say more? What I just told you is only half a sentence, and the second half of the sentence, whoever offends us Teochew people, we are like hanging boot ghosts, and he will never die. ”

Cao Xun finally couldn't help it, and said beside him: "Brother Li, it's not that we dare to offend you, it's really ......"

Tan Huili didn't say a word, raising his hand is a mouth! Cao Xun didn't expect that this slap would come quickly and quickly, and it would be a stumbling stumbling moment! However, his movements were fast, and Lu Li was definitely not slow, with a wave of his hand, a ghost king plucked the piano, and forcibly swung his wrist away, "Oh? ”

This was what Tan Huili didn't expect, his mouth immediately stopped chewing, and a pair of eyes widened, "Okay, old Tan ......" The one who had been silent since entering the door spoke for the first time, "You are really ugly!" Mr. Lu has won the championship of the fighting competition, and your few moments are not enough to see, so put it away! ”

Tan Huili didn't dare to provoke Tong Tiantong, glared at Lu Li stupidly, followed behind his companion, pulled out a chair and sat down; Wei Laicai only had time to introduce Lu Li at this time, "Lee Kee, Brother Tong is the president of our Hong Kong Catering Association. ”

Lu Li was stunned, he didn't expect the other party to be so big; The so-called guild is a kind of organization between the civil and the official, because the main economic structure of Hong Kong is mainly from the processing of materials, entrepot trade, especially the second and third types of industries, including the quite developed catering industry, most of the practitioners in this industry are Chinese, in the beginning, the Chinese were bullied by the British, so various self-organized groups came into being, that is, the initial prototype of the modern business guild.

In the 7th and 80s, the economic situation was very good, and the British government in Hong Kong also stepped up its efforts to combat corruption, which was of course good news for the associations all over Hong Kong, and the main responsibilities of the associations were also changed from the initial protection of the group interests of members and the intrusion of people from all corners of the society to more practical surnames in the industry, such as the pricing of dishes, the launch of new works, and so on.

With Lu Li's status today, he really didn't dare to work for the big man, and he came here this time to make a big fuss about Xiao Yuan's banquet; After Xiao Yuan's mouth, this matter became known to everyone, Ning Ningnan was naturally anxious, and as the president, Tong Tiantong was not much better, after all, if the crime of 'shoddy and harming customers' was true, it would be extremely negative news for the entire catering industry in Hong Kong, so he even went to Kowloon Court in person, but the reason for the situation had not been found out at that time.

After he got Ning Ningnan's feedback and explained it to Ning Ningnan's Xiao family in person, he also began to be curious about this matter. As the president of the guild, his great-grandfather was very famous in this industry, and he was the first person to use Chinese as a Western restaurant! is called Qi Zhihao - Qi Zhihao makes Western food not in Hong Kong, but in the capital in the late Qing Dynasty; He is the cook of Zhang Yinheng, the minister of the General Administration!

In the twenty-seventh year of Guangxu, Prince Henry of Germany visited China, and Zhang Yinheng, as the Minister of the General Administration, unexpectedly arranged for Emperor Guangxu to descend to shake hands with him - this is undoubtedly a move to rebel against the ancestors and forget the national rituals of our Heavenly Empire in the eyes of the conservative school; That's not all, when arranging for two people to have refreshments, he even asked the chef in his house - that is, Qi Zhihao - to prepare the pastry himself; In the eyes of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, this practice is tantamount to a blatant rebellion! Therefore, Li Lianying was moved, and she was repeatedly hungry in front of Cixi, and soon after, Zhang Yinheng was killed by the disaster, although Qi Zhihao was an inferior miscellaneous servant of Zhang's mansion, but he could not be exempted from the crime and served before he was sent to Urumqi. It was not until the fall of the Manchus that he was able to return to his homeland.

Because of such an experience, after he arrived in Hong Kong, he soon became the object of many British, including the governor of Hong Kong, and he also saved a large amount of money, but although the old man made a fortune, he never wanted his descendants to follow his old path, and until he died, he did not pass on this unique craft to any family other than his apprentice.

Qi Zhihao's two sons and two daughters naturally did not dare to disobey the old father's admonitions, and it is strange to say that they do not seem to have this talent in their blood, and they spent their lives plainly, until ** Twenty-three years, that is, three years after Qi Zhihao's death, Qi Tiantong was born. When this child grows up to the age of seven or eight, he will be able to rely on the ingredients in his mouth and say the words of tasting like a little adult, "Today's 10,000 fish tofu is not delicious." It must be that Zhang's mother is uncomfortable. "The so-called 10,000 fish refers to fish roe.

The family called Zhang's mother to ask, and sure enough, it was the case! For a few days a month, women will have an imbalance of taste due to physiological changes. But it's just such a little bit of concrete and subtle difference that he can taste as a child? The father sighed, although he was reluctant to let the child do this errand of serving people, he had to admit that he was born to eat this bowl of rice!

He joined the Restaurant Association from the position of the executive chef of a time-honored restaurant in Hong Kong, called Tsuto Tower, and served as the president the year before.

These things were all said by Wei Laicai later, and now Lu Li doesn't know it, so he nodded respectfully to the other party, "Brother Tong, I'm not a member, so I'll call you Brother Tong." ”

Qi Tiantong nodded briskly, "Young man, I've heard Shanji and Enji say a lot about you?!" ”

"Shan Ji and Enji are much older than me in terms of age, and they will not give up on me and treat me as a friend. Among friends and friends, there are naturally some beautiful words, which make Brother Tong smile. ”

When you talk about friends...... Ali is my friend, and his words are what I want to say, you...... Well, but as a guild leader, my first rule of doing things is fairness! You don't care about the relationship between the two of us, we will never snatch the share that was originally promised to whom. You can rest assured of that. ”

"Thank you. Brother Tong is like a balance, a grand duke, which is really admirable. ”

The man nodded with a smile and said, "In addition to these due shares, can Mr. Lu raise more?" ”

"Yes, of course, but it's hard. At least now it's hard. ”

"Oh? Can I know why? ”

Luli shook his head without hesitation: "I'm sorry, I can't." ”

Qi Tiantong was stunned for a moment, but Tan Huili shouted first, "[***] You are a ......" The following words, under Lu Li's fierce gaze, actually swallowed back unconsciously, and even he himself was startled for a while: [***] You old mother, what am I afraid of him doing?

Tong Tiantong didn't think it was wrong, and laughed a few times, "Okay, I know, anyone has their own right to keep their trade secrets." Don't worry, I'm not going to force you to say it. As he spoke, he got up, gave Lu Li a meaningful glance, and led Tan Huili out.

***********************************************

Seeing these two big men get into the car and walk away, Bao Qi's anger immediately turned to Shanji, "**! Huang Zhengshan! Now that you're hugging Tan Huili's thick legs, you want to grab food? ”

Shanji didn't have the same awe of Bao Qi as Wei Laicai, so he pushed him hard and wiped the spit on his face, "Ji Qi, you do your business, I'll take my business, there are vegetables here in Li Kee, do you want to eat them all?" Are you not afraid of dying? ”

"Fart! I'm not afraid of pot-bellied people when I open a store, can you control me? ”

"Of course I can't control you, but don't try to point fingers at me! If you want to teach your son a lesson, you can find whoever you like, and if you dare to scold the street, I will be unkind to you. ”

Seeing that the two of them talked more loudly, the louder they became, and then they were afraid that they would have to add fists and kicks, and Enji and Caiji each hugged one apart, which was considered to be invisible, "Li Ji, now listen to your words, who do you give things to and who do you not give to?" ”

Lu Li chuckled and said, "Seventh brother, Shanji, why bother? We come out to do business, and we are asking for money, not gas. Right? He persuaded a few people, and said slowly: "Let's do this, how is the thing, I haven't seen the real thing, no one can say, let's go to Pengcheng together in a few days, let's inspect the goods on the spot." If it's good and everyone is satisfied, then sit down and discuss how to divide the cake. If you don't have the quality and quality of the last time, you won't be able to get out of it - when the time comes, I'll have to ask a few of you guys to help you eat these things? ”

Eun Kee laughed contrivedly, "Lee Kee, you still know how to speak." So, when are we leaving? ”

"In a few days, I will leave early, and then let Cao Xun take you out of the customs together. And then we'll meet over there. ”

"Okay, we'll hear from you." Bao Qi glared at Shan Ji hatefully, ignored Wei Laicai, and went out first.

He left in a bad mood, but he couldn't attract the slightest concern from others, Bao Qi was too arrogant, even Cao Xun, who had always been good-tempered, couldn't help but look at him with white eyeballs from time to time, but it was Wei Laicai, who felt like he couldn't get by, "That, Li Ji, Brother Qi is such a temper, the people below coax him, after a long time, he ...... Forget it, don't mention him. ”

Lu Li smiled silently, and said to Shanji and Enji: "Two days after I passed, you also followed Cao Xun over, everyone knows each other, and it is easy to talk." As for the transportation, I have already told Uncle Gu Zhong and his nephew, and he will listen to our calls at any time. Well, Shanji, that Brother Li's side, if it's convenient for you and he has time, it's best to let him go with him. Everyone is a friend, and it really shouldn't be favoritism. And what Brother Qi said just now is right, the most important thing for this product is to meet at three heads to ensure the quality and condition of each transportation and delivery, in this way, it is easier to talk about the price later, what do you say? ”

"I'll bring your words." Shan Ji changed his smiling face and said, "Li Ji, is it worthy of winning the championship?" ”

"Huh?"

"I mean, that moment just now, it shook him off the spot! Awesome, awesome! ”

Lu Li smiled bitterly and sent a few people out of the store, and when he turned around, he saw Cao Xun's gloomy face, pouting slightly, as if he was angry about someone, "What's wrong with you, who are you angry about?" ”

"Xiaoxiao, our buddies make money and make money, can we use such a low three? Look at what kind of ghost toad face came just now? None of them even look like individuals, you ......"

"You also said, we just make money, as long as we make money, what kind of people do you care about them?"

"If you want to make money, you can't be shameless, right?" Cao Xun blurted out a sentence, "Look at the way you looked just now, good guy, Xiaoxiao, don't think I speak ugly, it's like seeing my father, are you there?" ”

Lu Li was furious, slapped the table hard, and shouted loudly: "Cao Xun, you don't talk nonsense!" It's true that you have been of great help to me, but I have treated you well with Luli when I ask myself! My style of doing things is less than asking about you! If you are willing to do it, I welcome, if you don't want to do it, I will never force it, where do you love! ”

Cao Xun also felt embarrassed in front of so many people, and roared back in a louder voice, "If you don't do it, you won't do it, you think I won't have a place to eat without you?" **！ I'll leave now, Erdanzi, you get out of the way for me. Believe it or not, I pumped you? ”

How could Li Tiehan watch the two of them abandon their friendship for many years for this reason, he blocked Cao Xun with his arms wide open, squeezed his eyebrows, and shouted bitterly: "You guys...... What's the matter with you two, for this...... As for it? ”

Cao Xun viciously bumped into Li Tiehan and went upstairs, Li Tiehan complained about him, and came to persuade Lu Li again, "Xiaoxiao, he didn't say anything bad, why did you lose your temper so much?" Lao Cao has been with you for the longest time, and he is more powerful than Xu Yunjian, you ...... Can't you just let him do a little bit? ”

Luli was in a bad mood, and he knew that his words were a little excessive. Cao Xun is different from Li Tiehan and Xu Yunjian, he is a person who chooses to be good and stubborn, and he easily refuses to bow his head, if he really hurts his old friend's heart for such a reason, it will be too worthwhile. After thinking about it for a while, he sighed and walked upstairs. (To be continued.) )
