It was a snowy night.

Li Qi also went to Fan Lou the day before yesterday to discuss with Fan Shaobai about withdrawing money from the bar, and also met Fan Zheng, but because Fan Zheng was asleep at that time, the two did not talk, but listening to Fan Shaobai's words, Fan Zheng's condition has stabilized, but it has only been a day, why can't it work?

Li Qi has always been a more cautious person, and now it is an eventful time, although he knows that this servant is indeed a person from Fan Lou, but he still doesn't dare to believe it, and immediately calls Ma Qiao up, with this master, his heart is also more stable, and then he and the servant hurriedly go towards Fan Lou.

By the time he arrived at Fanlou, it was almost four watches, but the backyard of Fanlou was still brightly lit, and the footsteps and calls in the courtyard came and went, and servants and maidservants hurriedly walked by.

It was this sight that convinced Richie that the servant was not lying.

"Master Li is here, young boy, Master Li is here." As soon as the servant came into the courtyard, he cried out in a loud voice.

With a squeak, the door opened, and it was not Fan Shaobai who came out, but Fan Lou's housekeeper, who hurriedly greeted him, and said in a choked tone: "Master Li, you are finally here, my master." ”

Li Qi didn't know what to say now, so he had to pat him on the shoulder and comfort him.

Before he came to the door, Li Qi heard Fan Shaobai's roar from inside the house, "You waste, I gave you so much money, but you told me that my father can't cure it, get out, get out, get out of it all for me." ”

Although Fan Shaobai's business is far worse than his father's, he is indeed a dutiful son, which is also an important reason why Li Qi was willing to cooperate with him in the first place.

Li Qi was just about to raise his legs to go in, when he saw a man running out of the house, Li Qi grabbed him and asked, "Is there really nothing you can do?" ”

Na Langzhong shook his head and sighed: "Even if there is a panacea, I am afraid that I will not be able to return to the sky." ”

Li Qi sighed, let go of his hand, and Na Langzhong quickly slipped away. Li Qi followed the housekeeper into the house, and the housekeeper reported: "Young boy, Master Li is here." ”

Soon, Fan Shaobai walked out of the back room.

"Fan Gongzi."

"Master Li, my father is he-alas." Fan Shaobai's tone was also a little choked, and he invited Li Qi to the back room, only to see seven or eight people standing in the room, three or four maidservants, and several of Fan Zheng's concubines were also there, hiding their faces and crying. Fan Shaobai waved his hand and said, "You all go out." ”

When Li Qi heard this, he felt that this seemed a little unusual, and he also glanced at Ma Qiao and asked him to wait outside.

After everyone left, Fan Shaobai came to the bed, held his father's thin hand, and said softly: "Daddy, daddy, Master Li is here." ”

Li Qi also came to the bed, only to see Fan Zheng lying on the bed, his face was pale, his breath was weak, his cloudy eyes were also closed, and there was still a trace of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth, obviously he had vomited blood just now.

"Old man, old man."

Li Qi shouted softly, but Fan Zheng still didn't react, he frowned, and said to Fan Shaobai: "Fan Gongzi, what's going on?" Wasn't the old man okay for the first two days? ”

Fan Shaobai's eyes flashed with a fierce color, and he said angrily: "This is all caused by Zhang Chun'er's dead mother-in-law." ”

Zhang Chun'er? The chef of Fan Lou, the first chef in Tokyo. Li Qi was stunned and said: "Isn't Mrs. Zhang the chef of your Fan Building, how could she harm the old man?" ”

Fan Shaobai snorted coldly a few times and said: "This mother-in-law is ungrateful, my father treated her like a daughter, but I didn't expect her to submit her resignation at this critical time, saying that she would leave Fan Lou." ”

"What?"

Li Qi was surprised: "You said that Zhang Niangzi left Fan Lou?" ”

Fan Shaobai nodded, clenched his fists and said: "Not only that, but she also took away some of the cooks, and now there are only three or four little cooks left in Fan Lou's kitchen, Daddy After he heard the news, he was angry, vomited blood and fainted on the spot, Daddy His body was already very weak, how could he withstand such a blow, and as a result, he couldn't afford to get sick, I searched for the best Langzhong in the capital, but they were helpless." ”

Li Qi said with a hint of blame: "You know that the old man's health is not good, how can you still sue him about this?" ”

The chef can be said to be the foundation of the restaurant for the restaurant, I think that at the beginning, the drunken immortal residence was because all the cooks collectively jumped ship, so that the business plummeted, if it were not for the sudden arrival of Li Qi, it is estimated that there would have been no drunken immortal residence in this world.

Fan Shaobai said depressedly: "I don't know this, it was the stinky woman who secretly sent someone to send a letter to my father, and I didn't know about it at the time." ”

"What does the letter say?" Richie asked.

Fan Shaobai shook his head and said: "What else can I say, it is nothing more than that she has worked hard for Fan Lou for more than ten years, and everything that should be paid back has been returned, and now she wants to leave Fan Lou." I asked myself if I was kind to her, I really don't know why she stabbed me in the back, and now I have sent people everywhere to find her, and when I find her, if she can't give me a reasonable explanation, I just want her to bury my father for this life. ”

"Didn't you sign a contract with her?" Li Qi was puzzled, with his understanding of the Northern Song Dynasty, it is a hundred times more difficult to resign now than in later generations, because today's labor contracts are generally a deed of sale, and if you run away, it is a crime.

Fan Shaobai said regretfully: "It's because my father and I believed in that mother-in-law too much, so we didn't sign a contract with her, but the kitchen has always been controlled by her, and we never interfered, so I will be so passive today." ”

This is really an unforgivable mistake. Li Qi sighed, suddenly heard Fan Zheng moaning twice, quickly turned around, and said, "Old man, I'm here." ”

"Lee—Master Li."

Fan Zheng was now blind, and raised his hand with difficulty, as if looking for Li Qi.

Li Qi hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Old man, I'm here." ”

Fan Zheng didn't know where the strength came from, so he held Li Qi's hand, and after a while, his face gradually became ruddy, and his breath became smoother, maybe this was the return of light, he said slowly: "Li-Master Li, this--this matter is not simple." ”

"I know."

Li Qi didn't want Fan Zheng to spend too much energy, so he hurriedly said: "If Zhang Chun'er doesn't want to work in Fan Lou, she can go alone, and she doesn't need to take all the other cooks away." ”

Fan Zheng nodded slightly, and said weakly: "Chun'er, this kid I know very well, she is not that ungrateful, it's just that she's too arrogant to lose, she must be leaving for you this time, you-you must be on guard." ”

Fan Shaobai was puzzled: "Daddy, you said that the mother-in-law left because of Master Li?" ”

Fan Zheng hummed softly.

Li Qi frowned and said, "Old man, are you not referring to the crab roe feast?" ”

Fan Zhengdao: "Yes, Chun'er has always thought that you are better than her, and always wants to compete with you again." I still remember when I wanted to cooperate with you to deal with Cai Minde, Chun'er stood up against it, maybe because I was too anxious at the time and didn't care about her feelings, now I think about it, if I had told her my thoughts at the beginning, maybe this wouldn't have happened, in the end, I can't blame her for this matter. ”

Li Qi frowned, and said: "However, if she wants to deal with me, then she should stay in Fan Lou, with her current strength, it is impossible for her to be my opponent, is there someone behind the scenes to help her." ”

Fan Zheng sighed: "I think the same way, if she had this strength, she would have left at the beginning, she has endured it for so long, it is nothing more than waiting for an opportunity, and now she has finally waited for this opportunity." ”

Fan Shaobai frowned and said: "But now the restaurants in Bianjing can compete with the Drunken Immortal Residence, and we also have Jade Xuan, Pan Lou and Yang Lou." Could it be that Cai Lao Fox is making trouble again? ”

Li Qi shook his head and said: "Impossible, I only met Cai Yuanwai yesterday, and I also talked about cooperating in Jiangnan to open a chain store, and it is impossible for Cai Yuanwai to tear his face with me again because there is only one more Zhang Chun'er." ”

"If it weren't for Old Fox Cai, then who would it be?" Fan Shaobai said confusedly.

Fan Zheng sighed: "I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I still can't figure out who this person is. ”

Li Qi suddenly frowned and said, "In this way, I thought of another thing. ”

Fan Shaobai was surprised: "What's the matter?" ”

"Pan Lou."

Fan Zhengdao: "I have also thought about this, but although Pan Yuanwai has always been eyeing our Fan Lou, he is more cautious, he and Cai Minde and more than 20 restaurants have not won us at the beginning, and now he will not risk us because of a Zhang Chun'er." ”

"That's just as well." Li Qi nodded slightly, if Zhang Chun'er really took refuge in Pan Yuanwai, Fan Lou would inevitably tear his face with Pan Lou, Drunken Xianju might also help, and Jade Xuan might sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, there is no reason for Pan Yuanwai to calculate this account.

"Ahem, ahem."

Fan Zheng suddenly coughed violently a few more times, and his breathing gradually became rapid.

Fan Shaobai hurriedly shouted: "Daddy, daddy, what's wrong with you?" ”

Fan Zheng seemed to realize that his time was running out, so he added a little more strength to his hand, and said, "Master Li, Master Li, the old man came to you today, and there is something I want to ask you for help with." ”

Li Qi frowned and said, "Old man, do you want to borrow a cook from the Drunken Immortal Residence?" ”

Fan Zheng nodded with difficulty.

Li Qi was embarrassed: "Old man, this is just a trivial matter, but the cooking skills of my apprentices can't be compared with Zhang Chun'er at all, and they are still cooking according to my recipes, if they are allowed to take charge alone, I am afraid that Fan Lou's reputation will be ruined." ”

Fan Zheng didn't have much energy to think about this, and said, "You—are you willing to help me?" ”

Li Qi saw that he was like this, and said secretly, promise him first, and then find a way. Nodding his head, he said, "Okay, I promise you." ”

Fan Zheng's body suddenly relaxed, and said, "Shaobai." ”

"Daddy, the baby is here."

Fan Zheng said intermittently: "You have been smooth sailing since you were a child, and you have not encountered any setbacks, but this is not a good thing, you must remember that the most taboo in doing business is to be eager for quick success and quick profit, so ambitious, you must be down-to-earth." ”

"Yes, the kid remembers."

Fan Zheng said again: "Master Li, you-you come here, I have something I want to say to you." ”

Richie hurriedly put his ear over.

"Please-you-hand-down-stay."

Before he could say this last word, Fan Zheng suddenly let go of his hand and lost his breath.
