Li Qi and Cai Minde sat opposite each other, and the old Cai San stood respectfully aside, he was not qualified to sit here.
Although Li Qi and Cai Minde have just met, after Li Qi's series of sycophants, the friendship between the two has instantly risen to a critical point, and others don't know it, and they think they are a pair of friends.
"In the next day to be fortunate to get acquainted with the staff, it is really a blessing for three lives, if the staff does not give up, today by the younger generation to do the east, coarse tea and light rice, talk about respect." Li Qi arched his hand.
Cai Minde came to find Li Qi today, even if Li Qi didn't say so, he didn't plan to leave now, and hurriedly humbly said: "How can this work, how can Cai ask Gongzi to be the east." As he spoke, he shouted in a deep voice: "Little San! You go and ask someone to serve a few good dishes, and bring a pot of good wine, and I will have a good conversation with Li Gongzi. ”
Cai Laosan reacted immediately, and hurriedly responded: "Hey, hey, the villain is going." ”
Li Qi had no intention of paying for this meal. Arched his hand towards Cai Minde and said: "Since Cai Yuanwai is full of fists, then it is disrespectful to him." ”
In fact, Cai Laosan didn't go downstairs, because the owner of this store had just rushed upstairs, obviously someone told him about Cai Minde's coming to the store, in this catering industry in Bianliang, Tokyo, Cai Minde is definitely one of the top two people, how dare they snub him in these small restaurants.
The boss wanted to go over to say hello to Cai Minde, but was stopped by Cai Laosan, and just asked him to let people bring good wine and food.
Before the food was served, the wine came first. When Cai Laosan was about to pour wine with Li Qi, he was suddenly stopped by Li Qi, and apologized to Cai Minde: "I'm sorry, I've already sworn that I won't drink anymore, and I hope you will forgive me." ”
Li Qi came to the Northern Song Dynasty because of drinking, in other words, it was this wine that made him lose his parents and wife, so he hated this wine more than anyone else.
Cai Minde has asked someone to inquire about Li Qi's origin, knowing that he was originally a drunk man on the street, and now when he heard him say that he swore not to drink, he was a little surprised, and after thinking about it, he also understood the past, thinking that he must be trying to change his past, and said happily: "That's good, the son will replace the bar with tea." ”
"Thank you!" Li Qi smiled slightly and said.
Cai Laosan poured a glass of wine and a cup of tea for Cai Minde and Li Qi respectively, and then respectfully stepped aside.
"As the saying goes, a daughter is easy to get, but a confidant is hard to find, today Cai and Gongzi hit it off at first sight, come, Cai pays tribute to Gongzi for a cup."
"Thanks to the love of the staff, I am really ashamed!"
The two of them drank a cup of tea and a wine, and they both drank it together.
After putting down the wine glass, Cai Minde suddenly sighed, and said apologetically: "The last time Gongzi came to the shop, Cai failed to go out to greet him, and I hope Gongzi will forgive me for the neglect, Cai will punish himself with a glass first." With that, Cai Minde picked up another glass of wine and drank it all.
Sweat! I can't imagine that this old man is even more hypocritical than me! Lao Tzu is obviously passing by, by the way to earn some pocket money, come to your store? Hmph, I didn't even think about it.
Li Qi glanced at Cai Laosan, saw that dense beads of sweat had oozed from his forehead, and grinned at Cai Minde: "Don't dare, don't dare, last time I was in Xia because there was an urgent matter at home, so I couldn't come to visit, I'm really sorry, and I will punish myself for a cup in Xia." With that, he poured the tea from the cup into his mouth.
"I see!"
Cai Minde saw that Li Qi didn't seem to take the last incident to heart, and he breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was full of regret, and said: "Don't hide it from Li Gongzi, last time I said goodbye to Li Gongzi in a hurry, Cai was very sorry in his heart, and then sent someone to inquire, only to know that Gongzi was the chef of the Drunken Xianju opposite, no, a few days ago I also asked Xiao San to go to the Drunken Xianju to invite Gongzi to come to the house for a gathering, but unfortunately Gongzi has something to go out, I never thought that I met Gongzi here today, it seems that all Qiē is providence." ”
This old guy's acting skills are really good, and it's providential, hmph, you think you're that God!
Li Qi felt funny in his heart, but there was a surprised expression on his face, and he said in surprise: "And this thing? Why have I never heard about it? ”
Cai Minde was slightly stunned, and his eyes glared at Cai Laosan, who was in a cold sweat on the side.
Cai Laosan was frightened, and hurriedly said to Li Qi: "This is true, I went to the Drunken Immortal Residence a few times two days ago, but the shopkeeper Wu said that you have something to go out." ”
"This is strange, I have been in the Drunken Immortal Residence for the next few days, and I haven't been out! And Uncle Wu never mentioned it to me. ”
Li Qi's face was full of "doubts", and he said to Cai Minde: "I see if there is any misunderstanding in this." ”
Cai Minde listened, and he was also very puzzled in his heart, if the two of them joined forces to hide from me, then Li Qi should lie for Wu Furong, why would he shake Wu Furong out, if not, then this qiē must be the ghost of Wu Furong, this old immortal, dare to deceive me, I will definitely want you to look good one day.
Obviously, Cai Minde had already pushed this qiē on Wu Furong's head, and he was a little less wary of Li Qi in his heart, and said with a smile: "Presumably Shopkeeper Wu must have been too busy recently and didn't take these little things to heart, but it's no wonder that there are so many people who line up at the Drunken Immortal Residence every day that they are about to line up at the small shop." ”
Finally getting down to business! Li Qi smiled and said, "I hope that there will be more tolerance from the outside." ”
Cai Minde said with a smile: "Li Gongzi is not only talented, but also has extraordinary cooking skills, with this stinky tofu alone, I think no one can beat it, Cai was fortunate to taste a piece, and the taste can indeed be called unique." ”
"Oh? How do outsiders know that this stinky tofu is from my hands? Li Qi was "surprised", but his heart was like a mirror.
Cai Minde smiled and said: "Cai and Zuixianju have been dealing with each other for so many years, and they know each other very well, Cai also knows a lot about Chef Zhou, the former chef of Zuixianju, to put it mildly, if he can make this stinky tofu, then Zuixianju will not be what it is today." ”
Speaking of the back, a flash of resentment suddenly flashed in Cai Minde's eyes, the sudden appearance of this stinky tofu disrupted his overall plan to acquire Zuixianju, how could he not be annoyed.
Li Qi "suddenly realized", nodded and admitted: "What the staff said is right, this stinky tofu is my family's ancestral secret recipe, I took out this secret recipe this time, but also to repay Uncle Wu for saving his life, it is definitely not deliberately aimed at the outside, if there is any offense, I hope the staff will forgive me." ”
Cai Minde heard that the secret recipe of the stinky tofu was really in Li Qi's hands, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Childe, how can Cai be that unreasonable person, I won't tell you, since you Zui Xianju started selling this stinky tofu, the business of the small shop has also risen with the tide, and there are many more customers than before. ”
This is true, in addition to selling stinky tofu, Drunken Xianju doesn't even sell a glass of wine, let alone others, four pieces of stinky tofu are not enough to make a base, and stinky tofu has an appetizing effect, and those who come out of Drunken Xianju don't all go to Jade Xuan.
"If it's true as the staff says, then it couldn't be better." Li Qi laughed. In fact, he had already expected this, not only the Jade Xuan, but even the business of the tea stall next to the Drunken Immortal Residence was several times better than before.
"However, there is one thing I have to tell you about your drunken immortal residence." Cai Minde suddenly changed his words and said with a straight face.
Li Qi was surprised: "Oh? Please advise outside the staff. ”
"I don't dare to give advice," Cai Minde smiled and said, "It's just that you Zuixianju sell about one or two hundred stinky tofu every day, so that those customers who haven't eaten stinky tofu come to my store every day to complain, making the small shop complain all day long." ”
Li Qi laughed and said, "There is such a thing? The outsider laughed. ”
"I'm telling the truth, you said that you are also drunk in Xianju, such a good business, why do you sell so little every day, it really makes Cai a lot confused." Cai Minde wondered.
The old fox, having said so much, turned out to be trying to find out the news. Anyway, this is also specially prepared for you, even if you don't ask, I plan to sue you.
"This ---!"
Li Qi looked embarrassed, and stopped talking.
"What? Isn't there something unspeakable about Childe? Cai Minde asked.
Li Qi was silent for a while, and then smiled bitterly: "Outsiders are geniuses in the world, and they must have already seen through the reason. ”
