Li Qi didn't expect to lose the first battle on the mahjong table in the Northern Song Dynasty, and he was defeated in the hands of a woman, which was really a shame, and at the same time he also understood a truth in his heart, he was really not suitable for playing mahjong.

His interest in mahjong was also wiped out by Feng Yinu's countless self-drawings.

And Li Qi doesn't have time to play mahjong with them all day, he still has a lot of things to deal with now, Ji Hongnu's debut has reached the last moment, and the bar is about to open, Li Qi plans to solve these two things before he goes to Sanya to take office.

Early this morning, Li Qi came to the courtyard of the red slave, the music class of the red slave ended yesterday, and now it is time to look at the tables of those maids, after all, there is no TV these years, no computer, no intelligence at all, and any news can only be transmitted manually.

Li Qi walked to the door with a catwalk, looked inside along the crack in the door, and saw Ji Hongnu sitting alone in the room, stunned at a lyre, sighed secretly, knocked on the door a few times, and said, "Hongnu, are you there?" ”

"Brother Li."

Before the sound fell, Ji Hongnu had already opened the door and looked at Li Qi with a happy face.

Seeing her happy appearance, Li Qi couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, since he started to take care of Master Li's diet, he rarely came to chat with Ji Hongnu, and Mrs. Qin has now completely woken up, and has been dealing with affairs in the Drunken Immortal Residence all day long, and now in the entire Qin Mansion, Ji Hongnu can't even find a person to speak, can he not be bored.

Li Qi walked in and said with a smile: "Red slave, I've been tired for the past two days." ”

Ji Hongnu habitually made a cup of tea for Li Qi, then sat opposite him, shook his head and smiled: "Hongnu is not tired at all, and Hongnu didn't expect to teach people to sing songs so interesting." Brother Li, will they come again in the future? ”

"It's not coming, you have a golden voice, it's a bit of a waste to teach people to sing." Li Qi shook his head.

When Ji Hongnu heard this, a touch of loss flashed in her eyes, but she never disobeyed Li Qi's intentions, and reluctantly showed a smile, and said, "That-Brother Li, how long will it take for me to go to the Drunken Immortal Residence to sing?" ”

"It's coming. But it depends on the effect of these days. Looks like you're ready. Li Qi laughed.

Ji Hongnu nodded as if the chicken pecked rice.

Li Qi smiled and said, "But before that, I plan to personally tailor a very delicious dessert for you, and it will be named after you, so that you can not only bring them visual and auditory impact, but also taste, so that they can remember you as soon as possible." ”

Ji Hongnu was surprised: "You want to make a dessert for me?" ”

Li Qi snorted and said, "I'm here for this today." ”

Ji Hongnu's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly asked, "Brother Li, what kind of dessert is it?" ”

"It's not done yet, but when it's done, you'll definitely be the first to eat it."

Li Qi smiled and said, "But first, I have to help you draw a sketch first." ”

"Huh?"

Ji Hongnu looked at Li Qi with big eyes, she didn't understand what cooking had to do with painting, but she didn't ask more, her trust in Li Qi had reached the point of blindness.

Li Qi first asked Ji Hongnu to change into a long skirt, stood and posed, and then drew on the paper with a pen.

After about half an hour, the sketch was finally completed, but this was still the first step, and Li Qi found another wooden board and carved a portrait of a person on the board according to the portrait on the drawing.

By the time the qiΔ“ was ready, it was already noon.

Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look, and saw Ji Hongnu with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at the sketch stupidly. smiled: "Red slave, this painting, I still have it for the time being, I'll help you paint a few more another day." ”

Ji Hongnu's face flushed, and he said shyly: "Thank you, Brother Li." ”

"Silly girl, do you and I still need to be so polite." Li Qi smiled and said, "I have to rush to make this dessert for you now, so I'll go first." ”

"Aren't you doing it here?"

Li Qi shook his head and said, "The conditions here are not enough, I have to rush back to my house in the western suburbs." ”

Ji Hongnu's eyes instantly dimmed, and said, "Then be careful on the road." ”

Li Qi looked at her depressed expression, smiled bitterly, and said, "Would you like to be a guest at my house?" ”

Western Suburbs Manor.

"Master Li, you're here." Lu Meimei opened the door and saw that it was Li Qi, and hurriedly saluted.

"Hmm. This is Ji Hongnu. ”

Li Qi pointed to the white-skinned little guy standing next to him and smiled, and then he pointed to Lu Meimei and said, "Red slave, this is Lu Niangzi." ”

Ji Hongnu came out for a trip, but it was really not easy, not only did she have to dress up as a man, but Li Qi also had to arrange a sedan chair for her, which was really painstaking.

Ji Hongnu couldn't remember that he hadn't gone out for a long time, he kept a smile on his face, and hurriedly saluted: "Hongnu has seen Lu Niangzi." ”

Lu Meimei has always regarded herself as a subordinate, how dare she accept this big gift, and hurriedly returned the gift.

Li Qi smiled and said: "Lady Lu, you will go to live in the Qin Mansion with me later, and I will bother you to protect the red slave during this time." ”

Ji Hongnu is a girl after all, and it is a little inappropriate to ask Ma Qiao's two stunned people to protect her, so Li Qi plans to let Lu Meimei be Ji Hongnu's personal bodyguard.

Lu Meimei naturally has no objection.

"By the way, what about your senior brother?"

Li Qi looked left and right, but didn't see Ma Qiao's figure, and said curiously. After his danger was lifted, he gave Ma Qiao a vacation and asked him to go home to accompany Lu Meimei.

"Oh, when I saw that he was fine, I asked him to go up the mountain and chop some wood."

"Well, you're doing a good job."

Li Qi nodded and smiled secretly, what kind of guy did he look like when he went to chop wood in the beautiful horse bridge. He added, "How are the things I prepared in the kitchen?" ”

"It's all ready."

"That's fine."

Li Qi nodded, turned his head to Ji Hongnu and said, "Hongnu, I'm going to work in the kitchen, I'll ask someone to take you around?" ”

Ji Hongnu said worriedly: "I-can I go with you?" ”

Li Qi was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "You were smoked out by then, don't blame me." ”

Ji Hongnu nodded with a smirk.

When a few people came to the kitchen, they were greeted by the smell of canned meat, Ji Hongnu couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! It smells so good. ”

When the dozen or so cooks who were working by the stove saw Li Qi coming, they hurriedly put down the goods in their hands and saluted, "Master Li." "Although they are still nominally from the Taishi Mansion, they have long been Li Qi's people, and their salaries are all given by Li Qi, so everyone knows about this kind of thing.

Li Qi nodded, told them to continue to be busy, leave themselves alone, and then walked to a table under Lu Meimei's guidance.

"Master Li, these are the powders you gave me from the seaweed." Lu Meimei pointed to a small bowl of purple powder on the table.

Li Qi said: "Remember, this is called agar powder, and it will often be used in the future." ”

Lu Meimei read it in a whisper, and then nodded.

This agar powder is extracted from seaweed, from the selection of materials to soaking alkali, boiling glue, filtration, water pressing, and drying are all completed by Li Qi, but the step of crushing powder was handed over to Lu Meimei.

The dessert that Li Qi wanted to make for Ji Hongnu was a very popular jelly in later generations.

In fact, the method of making zuΓ² jelly is very simple, and the slightly more difficult thing is seasoning, which is really simple for Li Qi, but now it is different, and there is no necessary product for jelly this year - gelatin, so you have to make your own zuΓ², after some consideration, Li Qi chose to make zuΓ² relatively simple agar powder, but it still took him a lot of effort.

Li Qi first soaked the agar powder in cold water for half an hour, then heated it to dissolve it completely, and then he heated the juice mixed with sugared grape juice and a very small amount of the world's unequaled juice through the water, and then mixed the liquid agar together, poured a part into the mold that had just been carved, and put the rest directly into a bowl, and asked Lu Meimei to put it in the ice cellar.

Li Qi let out a sigh of relief and said to Ji Hongnu, who was full of curiosity: "Don't worry, you have to wait for an hour before you can eat, so let's take you around." ”

"Okayβ€”thank you, Brother Li."

Ji Hongnu nodded happily a few times and said.

This is the first time Ji Hongnu has come to Li Qi's house, and after following Li Qi for a while, he saw that this house was bigger than that of Qin Mansion, and exclaimed: "Brother Li, you really have the ability to live in such a big house." ”

Li Qi said disdainfully: "This is nothing. When you come to Drunken Immortal Residence to sing, I guarantee that within a year, you will be able to earn a house bigger than this. ”

Ji Hongnu shook his head and said: "Hongnu doesn't dare to ask for this, as long as he can help Brother Li earn more money, Hongnu will be satisfied." ”

"What kind of logic are you?"

Li Qi glared at her angrily, and said: "What's yours is yours, why do you count it on my head, you are too simple, how can you always think about others, you have to plan for yourself, you have to marry someone in the future, you have to save some dowry for yourself, don't count on me, I'm an iron rooster, I don't pull out a dime." ”

Ji Hongnu knew that he said this on purpose, and he was not annoyed, so he pouted and said, "I won't get married, and I don't want any dowry." ”

"Not married?"

Li Qi was curious: "Then you are going to be a nun?" If you let your mother know, you don't have to give me a dream, I said what you think about all day you stay in the house. ”

Ji Hongnu smiled and said, "I can be content to be by Madame's side." ”

Li Qi said angrily: "Madam? You don't use Mrs. as a disguise, Mrs. is not the leader of the chastity workshop, she also wants to get married, how old is she, is she really a widow for a lifetime? ”

Ji Hongnu pouted and exclaimed, "Madame will still marry?" ”

Li Qi scratched his head and said, "Well, I guess, but you must not tell Madame about this, or she will kick me out." However, you must stop me from thinking about this idea, I really don't understand you. ”

Ji Hongnu spit out his fragrant tongue and smiled without saying a word.

Li Qi sighed helplessly, looked at the sky, and thought that it was almost over, so he took this season of red slaves back to the front hall, and then asked Lu Meimei to take the jelly.

When Lu Meimei took the jelly, when Ji Hongnu saw the jelly, she exclaimed, covered her mouth and looked at the crystal clear, brightly colored jelly in surprise, and the shape of the jelly was her graceful figure, just like the peerless turned into a beauty, very attractive.

In fact, when Lu Meimei went to the ice cellar and saw this jelly, her expression was the same as Ji Hongnu's, she didn't know why this grape juice became more beautiful and moving after adding agar powder.

"Silly girl."

Li Qi shook his head with a smile, scraped a small scoop with a soup spoon and tasted it, nodded and said, "It tastes good." As he spoke, he said to Lu Meimei: "This bowl will be handed over to you." Then he handed the humanoid jelly to Ji Hongnu and said, "Taste it, I promise you like it." ”

Ji Hongnu took the bowl, looked at the slightly trembling jelly inside, the color of love was undoubted, his eyes rolled, and said, "Brother Li, can I eat it later?" ”

Li Qi saw the bend in her stomach at a glance, and said with a straight face: "What are you doing?" Do you still want to keep it overnight, eat it now, this thing, there will be more in the future, I will help you make a bigger one another day, let you sleep in your arms. ”

Ji Hongnu sneered, dizzy cheeks, opened his mouth slightly, revealing a row of white and bright teeth, and gently took a bite of the jelly, sweet and sour, with a hint of coolness, the taste was smooth, and the jelly swiped on the tip of the tongue, making people unbearable to swallow it.

She tasted the sweetness and began to taste the jelly slowly, ignoring Richie any more.

Lu Meimei is not as gentle as her, she scraped half of it with a spoon and put it in her mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it, her face showed surprise, it seems that she also likes this jelly tightly, but she didn't move the other half.

Li Qi saw it and thought to herself, although this Lu Meimei usually has a straight face, she still cares about Maqiao's house.

"Master Li, what is your thing called?" Lu Meimei said curiously.

Li Qi glanced at Ji Hongnu, who was still playing with the jelly with his fragrant tongue, and said with a smile: "Red lady." ”
