"Oh? Is there such a thing? How did I not know? Li Qi said in surprise.
Bai Qiannuo saw that he was still holding on, and chuckled: "Your 'roundabout tactics' are really wonderful!" β
At this moment, Li Qi was completely speechless, he had already seen that Song Yuchen was a big straw bag, but he didn't expect it to be so much, no wonder the pickled girl would be defeated.
As everyone knows, Song Yuchen is usually very talented and quick-witted, but as soon as he touches this Bai Qiannuo, it is a brine point tofu, one thing drops one thing, and only passively beaten.
In the past few days, Song Yuchen adopted Li Qi's Jianyì and began to use that roundabout tactic to curry favor with the people around Bai Qiannuo, and also achieved good results.
But this second talented woman in Tokyo is not in vain, Bai Qiannuo suddenly saw that the people around him praised Song Yuchen, and knew that there must be something strange in it, so he gave Song Yuchen a few smiles, and then knocked on the side.
When Song Yuchen saw that Bai Qiannuo's attitude towards him had changed greatly, his heart suddenly burst into flames, and he was about to pull out his heart.
Bai Qiannuo used a little trick, so how could Song Yuchen resist it, so he told Bai Qiannuo all the conversations between Jade Xuan and Li Qi that day.
"How? Are you out of words? Bai Qiannuo saw that Li Qi was speechless, and asked with a smile.
Now, I can't help but deny Li Qi. Nodding his head, he said, "Yes, this matter is indeed something I did wrong, okay, you don't need to thank me, let's settle it." β
As soon as the words fell, Bai Qiannuo suddenly bowed and said, "The little woman is very grateful to Li Gongzi." β
When Li Qi saw this, he said with a smile: "Hey, I said White Lady, do you want me to apologize to you so much?" β
Bai Qiannuo smiled: "I have always had clear grievances, and besides, these are two different things, and they can't be confused." β
"You're ruthless!"
Li Qi completely admitted it, shook it to the end, and said: "If there is any offense in the next place, I hope the white lady will forgive me, I'm sorry!" β
Bai Qiannuo, who had won back a city, smiled and nodded, "Okay!" For the sake of your sincere apology, I will forgive you this time, but if I let me know next time that you are secretly slandering me, I will not just forget it. β
mdοΌ Next time, even if he puts a knife on Lao Tzu's neck, Lao Tzu will not do such a stupid thing.
Li Qi rolled his eyes and snorted angrily.
Seeing his puffing appearance, Bai Qiannuo covered his lips and chuckled.
During the conversation, all the steamed buns brought by Bai Qiannuo were also delivered, and those refugees who received the steamed buns walked to Bai Qiannuo to bow and thank him.
"White lady, you are really a bodhisattva---!hearted"
"Thank you, White Lady---!"
οΌ
Bai Qiannuo was slightly stunned, hurriedly stepped forward to help them up, and shouted: "Hurry up, please get up quickly, such a big gift, how can the little woman afford it, please get up quickly." β
Xing'er and the three family members also hurried over to help the refugees who had thanked them.
This move made Li Qi have mixed feelings in his heart, sighed, stepped forward, and helped them up.
After they all stood up, Li Qi was excited for a while, and shouted loudly to everyone: "At this time tomorrow, the White Lady will also deliver food here, everyone remember to come early!" β
A simple sentence made those refugees burst into tears of excitement, and they wanted to fall to the ground and say goodbye, but fortunately they were stopped by Li Qi and Bai Qiannuo in time.
After some persuasion, the refugees finally left.
After the refugees left, Li Qi let out a long sigh, glanced at Bai Qiannuo, saw that he was looking at him in a daze, and said with a smile: "You don't have to look at me like this, I still have to pay for a few steamed buns, but I have to work hard for you to run again." β
Bai Qiannuo opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak, his eyes were full of complicated colors, and finally said softly "Thank you"!
Li Qi quipped: "If you really want to thank me, take me back, and tell you the truth, I actually got lost and came here." β
Bai Qiannuo was stunned for a moment and giggled.
After instructing Xing'er to do some aftermath work, Bai Qiannuo took Li Qi towards the city.
On the way, Li Qi saw the refugees on the side of the road and asked curiously: "White lady, where did these refugees come from?" β
Bai Qiannuo sighed lightly: "They used to be Song people who lived in the Liao State, and recently the Liao State is at war with the Jin State, and their homeland has been occupied by the Jin State, so they fled here. β
"I see!"
During this history, Li Qi also knew that in the end, the Liao State was still destroyed by the Jin State, sighed, and said: "It's a pity that our ability is limited, and we can only help them for a while." β
"How much can I help, how much can I count, the little woman just wants to have a clear conscience."
Bai Qiannuo sighed faintly: "It's a pity that the imperial court has only cared about conscription and tax recently, and it is impossible to come to help them." β
"Counting on the court?"
Li Qi smiled disdainfully: "Then you might as well expect the steamed buns to fall from the sky." β
Bai Qiannuo smiled lightly: "You really don't care about it at all when you talk, but what you said also makes some sense, they still have to rely on themselves in the end." β
Do you have to rely on yourself in the end?
Li Qi frowned, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he smiled at Bai Qiannuo: "White lady, do you say that it is to help a thousand people in a day's difficulties, or to help twenty people in a lifetime?" β
Bai Qiannuo was slightly stunned, obviously not knowing why Li Qi asked like this, and replied: "Naturally, it is difficult to relieve a lifetime." Why do you ask this? β
Li Qi smiled deeply and said, "I want to do business with you." β
"Want to do business with me again?" Bai Qiannuo glanced at Li Qi vigilantly, and said, "If it's that deceptive business, I advise you to find someone else." β
Li Qi smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, I have already got the money, and I won't let you sell the pair to that Cai Yuanwai again." I mean, I'll pay for it, and you can help me select ten women, ten men, over fifteen and thirty, who are in good health and in average shape, from this group of refugees. You find a place to settle them down, and then you have to teach them to read, I'll give you a month, you just have to teach them some words about food, what do you think? β
When Bai Qiannuo heard this, he immediately understood, and said, "Are you planning to let them go to the Drunken Immortal Residence to help?" β
A flash of praise flashed in Li Qi's eyes, and he nodded: "Yes, I have this intention." β
Bai Qiannuo was puzzled: "But the restaurant is full of men, why do you want women?" β
"You don't care about this, I have my own plans." Li Qi shook his head and said with a smile: "If you are willing, then do it, if you are not willing, then I will not say it." β
Bai Qiannuo frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Then how many silver taels do you plan to give?" β
After Li Qi calculated in his heart, he said, "One hundred taels." I believe that it is enough to eat steamed buns, of course, this also includes tomorrow's steamed bun money, how to distribute it, you can arrange it yourself. β
When Bai Qiannuo heard this, he always felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly understood, and said with a slight smile: "You seem to have forgotten someone?" β
"Who?" Li Qi was surprised.
Bai Qiannuo snorted: "You paid for it, but you also got people, but what about me?" I helped you settle them and teach them to read, but what did I get? β
Li Qi was slightly stunned, and immediately shook his head and said, "This is wrong, why are you helping me?" You are helping Drunken Xianju, you are helping Mrs., you are helping those refugees, you usually always say that you and Mrs. are sisters, and you will not refuse to help even this little favor. β
Just kidding, then Cai Yuanwai has to spend a lot of money to write a pair for you, how can I Li Qi have extra money to invite you!
"Don't pull it on Sister Wang again, you just said that you are doing business with me, since it is a business, then of course we have to calculate this account." The corners of Bai Qiannuo's mouth lifted and said slyly.
Why is this woman so shrewd? Didn't all ancient times advocate that women are virtuous if they are not talented?
Li Qi muttered to himself in his heart, and said: "Then you talk about it first, what conditions do you have, but I have to make it clear in advance, silver, I only have so much, if you want to get some benefits from it, then you will only give those refugees one meal a day, one steamed bun for one meal, I believe you can also make fifty or sixty taels from it." β
"Phew! I'm not as despicable as you. β
Bai Qiannuo blushed his cheeks, took a sip, and said, "Don't worry, I don't want to be greedy for your money." β
Don't want money? That qiΔ is easy to say.
Li Qi smiled and said, "You won't be the one who is greedy for me, right?" β
Bai Qiannuo frowned, and said angrily: "If you talk nonsense again, I won't do this business with you." β
"Hehe, just kidding, you don't have to take it seriously, okay, I won't say it, you say."
Bai Qiannuo glanced at him and said, "My request is very simple, first of all, you must treat them well; Secondly, when the business of the Drunken Immortal House improves, you will have to come to help these refugees often; In the end, how can I take care of these twenty people, so you must also help. β
"The first two requirements are fine, but this third one," Li Qi pretended to be embarrassed and said, "You know, now the rise and fall of the Drunken Immortal Residence is on me alone, and I am so busy that I have to calculate it a day in advance." β
"Then you'd better ask for another master." Bai Qiannuo said lightly, she obviously wouldn't believe Li Qi's nonsense.
Li Qi saw his expression of not entering, pursed his lips, now that the Drunken Immortal Residence is about to open, it is the time to employ people, and these people are their most difficult period, if you are willing to give them a bite to eat, they will not have to work hard for you, and most importantly, there are no women in the city who are willing to work in the restaurant. After weighing it in his heart, he nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I promise you, whoever told me that I was born to work hard." β
"That's pretty much it." Bai Qiannuo pouted.
"So you agreed?"
"Hmph, I think it's to help Sister Wang."
"Didn't you say that business is business? Why do you say to help Mrs. again now? β
"You --- you go back by yourself, I'll ignore you."
"Damn! No, what the hell is this place? Hey, don't run! β
