Call! This bale is finally gone!

After Song Yuchen left, Li Qi was really relieved, he was about to dry his saliva just now.

But before he could recover from this, he suddenly heard a light cough from the side.

Sweat! I forgot about the old fox.

Li Qi turned his head, looked apologetically at Cai Minde, who had been silent for a long time, and said with a sneer: "Where Li Qi has just offended, I hope that the staff will bear with me." ”

"It doesn't matter! Anyway! ”

Cai Minde waved his hand and smiled: "Childe's eloquence is so impressive to Cai, and that roundabout tactic is really an eye-opener for Cai." ”

Although Li Qi's nonsense just now could deceive Song Yuchen, he couldn't deceive the treacherous and cunning Cai Minde.

Although Cai Minde and Bai Qiannuo have less contact, they also know that with Bai Qiannuo's personality, they will never say those words, and it is even more impossible to praise Song Yuchen so much in front of others.

It was only because Song Yuchen was too obsessed with Bai Qiannuo that he would believe in Li Qi's words.

As soon as Li Qi heard this, he knew that Cai Minde had seen through his little tricks, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Let the outsiders laugh." ”

Cai Minde smiled: "Li Gongzi is modest. ”

He saw it with his own eyes, Li Qi only used a few words to dispel Song Yuchen's hostility towards him, and instead regarded him as a confidant, just this talent, I am afraid that no one in the entire Jade Xuan can match. And he has always regarded Li Qi as a rare talent, hoping to recruit him one day, and now he believes that he is not wrong.

At this moment, Cai Laosan suddenly walked over, bowed to Cai Minde and said, "Master, can you serve the food?" ”

When Cai Minde heard this, he suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Ouch, look at my memory, I almost forgot about my business, I'm old." After that, he immediately ordered Cai Laosan to let him serve the food immediately.

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Qi's mouth, and he finally got to the point.

After a while, the dish was served.

There are a total of seven dishes, three crispy soups, crystal soup, fried quails, wine crabs, sheep's head with false sauce, Huadiao drunk, and Cai's stinky tofu.

Except for stinky tofu, the rest are some expensive dishes.

Among these seven dishes, except for the sheep's head in the empty sauce, Li Qi has eaten the other six, and he made it himself, but it can't be considered authentic after all, and it is difficult to compare with the dishes in front of him.

After the dish was served, Cai Minde entertained Li Qi to eat.

Li Qi savored the first five dishes, each dish was very distinctive, and each dish was quite perfect in terms of color, flavor and shape, and he secretly admired in his heart, this Jade Xuan is indeed a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.

But this does not mean that Li Qi has given up, he believes that as long as he can be given these pure natural ingredients, he is confident that he can make more delicious dishes, because he has more advanced and richer cooking skills and his knowledge of food, which is beyond the reach of chefs here.

Except for Cai's stinky tofu, Li Qi has tasted the other six dishes, but in order to hide his strength, he did not give any professional advice, just ordered.

Cai Minde didn't care too much about this, because his main purpose today was still the plate of "Cai's stinky tofu".

Li Qi sandwiched a piece of "Cai's stinky tofu", took a small bite, chewed it carefully, frowned, glanced at Cai Minde, saw that his face was full of smiles, and immediately understood, put down his chopsticks, hugged his fist towards Cai Minde and said: "The cooking skills of the staff are really admirable!" ”

Cai Minde was "surprised" and said: "Where did the son say this? ”

Li Qi said with a smile: "After this stinky tofu has been passed by the hands of outsiders, both the taste and appearance have been greatly improved, and the stinky tofu made by our Drunken Immortal Residence is really incomparable." ”

Cai Minde didn't deny it, but asked with a smile: "Then does Li Gongzi know the reason?" ”

Li Qi smiled: "I can only guess that the staff must have added some spices to the brine, as for what it is, then I don't know." ”

"Not bad! I did add some spices to the recipe that Childe gave me. ”

Cai Minde nodded and said, "Gongzi Li won't mind, right?" ”

"Of course not, I have already sold the secret recipe of stinky tofu to the staff, as for how the outsiders do it, I have no right to interfere, and besides, it is too late for the outsiders to carry forward this stinky tofu." Li Qi laughed. I was indeed very surprised in my heart, this Cai Minde's understanding of food has far exceeded his expectations.

"Don't hide it from Gongzi, I'm still worried that Gongzi Li will blame Cai, if that's the case, then it's no better." Cai Minde laughed, and his laughter was quite proud.

"By the way, I don't know how much this 'Cai's stinky tofu' costs?" Li Qi asked curiously.

Cai Minde stretched out three fingers and said with a smile: "Like your store, it also sells three hundred wen." ”

Three hundred texts?

Li Qi frowned, and immediately understood.

Although the price is the same, the amount is more than doubled, so that it can not only suppress the drunken immortal residence, but also maximize its own interests, and with the current status of Jade Xuan, three hundred yuan for a dish is not expensive, plus in the context of the high price of the drunken immortal residence in front, it undoubtedly plays a role in attracting people's hearts, it is really killing three birds with one stone.

Seeing that Li Qi was silent, Cai Minde wondered: "What?" Didn't Childe think that the price was inappropriate? ”

"No, no, this price couldn't be more appropriate, besides, how dare I talk about business in front of outsiders." Li Qi smiled modestly.

This price was set by Cai Minde after careful consideration, and now when he hears Li Qi say this, he is very proud. Suddenly asked: "By the way, Cai heard that your store did not continue to sell stinky tofu two days ago, I don't know if this matter is true?" ”

Whether it's true or not, you still don't know?

Li Qi nodded with a wry smile and said, "It's true!" ”

"Oh? Why is that? ”

Li Qi sighed: "It's not all because I sold the recipe to the outsider, Uncle Wu was very worried when he found out, so he didn't dare to continue to pickle this stinky tofu." ”

These words are undoubtedly telling Cai Minde, that Wu Furong has been scared by you.

Cai Minde was very proud in his heart, but there was a worried expression on his face, and he said, "Then does the shopkeeper Wu blame Gongzi?" ”

Li Qi pursed his mouth, shrugged his shoulders, and did not speak, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

"In that case, I'm sorry for causing a lot of trouble to my son." Cai Minde said with a fake gesture.

Li Qi squeezed out a smile and said, "It's too serious, I am indeed ashamed of Uncle Wu first, and he should blame me for a few words." ”

Cai Minde saw that his words were insincere, and he was overjoyed, so he pretended to sigh, and said: "Since the Drunken Immortal Residence has closed its doors and stopped doing business, I don't know what the son's plans are in the future?" ”

As soon as Li Qi heard this, he knew that Cai Minde wanted to use this to dig himself up to Jade Xuan.

This old fox's eyes are quite vicious, I have done such a low-key job, he still looks up to me so much, if I hadn't had an agreement with Drunken Xianju, maybe I would have been moved by him and come to help him.

But it's not a good thing for me that he's paying attention to me now!

After thinking about it secretly in his heart, Li Qi suddenly had an idea, calculated it in his heart, pretended to sigh, just shook his head and shook his head, but did not speak, and put on an unspeakable appearance.

When Cai Minde saw it, he was very puzzled and asked, "Why is the son sighing?" ”

Li Qi sighed again and said, "I'm afraid I will be inseparable from the Drunken Immortal Residence in my life." ”

Cai Minde was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Why did Li Gongzi say this?" ”

Li Qi didn't answer and asked: "By the way, there happened to be something here, and I want to ask for advice from outside." ”

Cai Minde was surprised: "Oh? What's up? ”

"I heard that the staff was willing to pay 4,000 yuan to buy the Drunken Immortal Residence, I don't know if there is such a thing?" Richie asked.

Cai Minde was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why did Childe suddenly ask about this?" ”

Li Qi hugged his fists and said: "I hope that the staff will inform me first, and I will explain it clearly to the staff later." ”

It's no secret anymore, and it doesn't hurt if I sue him. Cai Minde frowned, and after weighing it in his heart, he nodded and said, "Yes, it is true." ”

After hearing this, Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief, his expression was very exaggerated, and he muttered in a low voice: "It seems that Uncle Wu didn't lie to me." ”

The more Cai Minde listened, the more confused he became, and hurriedly asked, "Gongzi Li, what's going on?" ”

Li Qi sighed: "I don't know anything outside, after Steward Cai sent the money that day, I haven't seen the money until now." ”

Cai Minde gasped and said, "It can't be an accident, right?" ”

Li Qi shook his head and sighed, "It was Uncle Wu who borrowed all the money." ”

"Huh?"

Cai Minde exclaimed, his arm shook, and he almost didn't knock over the teacup in front of him.

When Li Qi saw it, he smiled secretly in his heart, seeing that Lao Tzu didn't fool you to death.

Cai Minde hurriedly said: "Then what about you lend it all to him?" ”

Li Qi nodded and sighed: "Uncle Wu has a life-saving grace for me, how can I be embarrassed to refuse him." ”

Cai Minde hurriedly shouted: "Li Gongzi, you are confused, how can you lend him all the money, you don't know the current situation of Drunken Xianju, if he can't afford to pay it back by then, how can you be good?" ”

Li Qi said: "I also had this concern at first, but then Mrs. Qin came forward, she said that this Drunken Immortal Residence is worth at least four thousand yuan, and said that the staff had wanted to pay for the Drunken Immortal Residence, so I don't have to worry about them not being able to pay it back, and Mrs. also wrote an IOU to me." ”

"I see, no wonder you just asked that."

Cai Minde frowned, and said tentatively: "Then Gongzi Li knows why they borrowed so much money from you?" ”

Li Qi nodded and said, "This is naturally known." ”

"Why is that?" Cai Minde asked hurriedly.

But as soon as the words came out, he realized that something was wrong, and immediately added: "Cai is just asking casually, if the son is inconvenient, it doesn't hurt not to say it." ”

Seeing his anxious look, Li Qi forced a smile and said lightly: "Actually, even if I don't talk about this now, sooner or later, the outside will know about it, so it doesn't matter if you sue the outsider." ”

Cai Minde was overjoyed and looked at Li Qi expectantly.

Li Qi suddenly picked up the teacup at this time, took a sip, deliberately hung the appetite of the old fox, put down the teacup, leaned his head over, and whispered: "I heard Uncle Wu say that Madame will personally come forward to take care of the Drunken Immortal Residence." ”

"What?"

Cai Minde was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Is this true?" ”

"Of course, how dare I deceive the staff." Li Qi nodded.

Cai Minde frowned, shook his head and said, "It's impossible, I have heard that Mrs. Qin rarely shows her face, and she rarely even goes out of the gate, why would she suddenly come forward to take care of the Drunken Immortal Residence." ”

Li Qi sighed bitterly: "It's all because of a dream that Madame had. ”

"Dreams?"

Li Qi nodded and said: "Yes, I have heard the maid next to Mrs. say that Mrs. had dreamed that her deceased husband had died a few days ago, and in the dream her deceased husband asked her to help her take care of the Drunken Immortal Residence, so the lady thought about coming forward to take care of the Drunken Immortal Residence." ”

"I see." Cai Minde squinted.

Li Qi was worried and depressed and said: "Outside, you said that she is a woman's family, what kind of business will she do, isn't this a clear way to throw money into the river, and those gods, dreams, are all some illusory things, how can I believe it lightly, alas, if it weren't for Uncle Wu, I really don't want to lend her money." ”

Li Qi told lies, but he was really not blushing and out of breath, and he was definitely at the level of an actor.

Cai Minde listened, his heart was wide, he really didn't take Mrs. Qin in his eyes, he believed that even if Mrs. Qin really came forward, she wanted to fight him with only those 1,500 yuan, even if he didn't do anything, the Drunken Immortal Residence would definitely not last for three months, but he still had reservations about Li Qi's words, and asked, "When do you plan to open your store?" ”

Sweat! It seems that this fox completely treats me as his own, and asks whatever he wants, without caring at all.

Li Qi shook his head and said, "I don't know this, I'm just a cook, how can they tell me for everything." ”

Cai Minde nodded, not very worried in his heart, and said with a smile: "Li Gongzi, don't worry too much, I heard that Mrs. Qin was also a talented woman when she was young, and I believe that she will have a way to return the money to you." ”

He hadn't thought of how to get his hands on the Drunken Immortal Residence, but now that the other party had sent it to the door, he was too late to be happy, and now he very much hoped that the Drunken Immortal Residence could open as soon as possible, as long as the Drunken Immortal Residence was still playing in this circle, it was not for him to pinch the round and flatten, if the Drunken Immortal Residence was like now, he would be able to do nothing.

"I hope so!" Li Qi shook his head and sighed, a glint flashing in his eyes

After eating, Cai Minde in order to thank Li Qi for "ventilating the news", and asked Cai Laosan to take out twenty taels to give Li Qi, Li Qi pretended to give up, then put the silver in his pocket, and was very happy, although the twenty taels of silver are not a lot, but it made Li Qi obviously feel that Cai Minde was a little less defensive against him.

In fact, Li Qi came this time, and he didn't plan to tell SΓΉ Cai Minde about the reopening of the Drunken Immortal Residence, but when he talked later, he suddenly thought that the reopening of the Drunken Immortal Residence was not a trivial matter, and there were still many things to prepare in front of him, and it was impossible to hide it from this old fox, which would cause him to be suspicious.

What Li Qi is most afraid of now is that this old fox made a hindrance from it before the opening of the Drunken Immortal Residence, with the current strength of the Drunken Immortal Residence, it is impossible to compete with it at all, and the open gun is easy to dodge, and the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, this old fox can do anything in it, and it is not something that the Drunken Immortal Residence can afford.

Therefore, in order to eliminate Cai Minde's concerns, Li Qi simply told him about the reopening of the Drunken Immortal Residence, and pushed everything on Mrs. Qin. As long as the Drunken Immortal Residence can be opened smoothly, then he will no longer be afraid of Cai Minde.
