Although Fan Zheng didn't say the last word, Li Qi knew that it was a "love" word, and he knew very well that Fan Zheng hoped that he would be able to let Zhang Chun'er go. In other words, that is to say, Fan Zheng has already affirmed in his heart that Zhang Chun'er must have run away in order to compete with Li Qi again.
Li Qi naturally understood Fan Zheng's intentions, but he was still skeptical about it, after all, the whole thing is still confusing now, whether Zhang Chun'er wants to deal with him or not, can't make a conclusion, even if Zhang Chun'er left Fan Lou because of him, then she must be fully prepared, and it is still unknown who will win or lose, after all, there are too many uncertainties in business. But even if it was really as Fan Zheng expected, Li Qi didn't dare to agree to Fan Zheng lightly, if Zhang Chun'er touched his bottom line, then even if the Jade Emperor came, there was no need to discuss.
Fan Zheng is leaving, and the Fan family is crying, of course, there must be a lot of hypocrisy in it. Li Qi is not too exaggerated, his relationship with Fan Zheng has not been sublimated to the point of crying bitterly, but he has a little regret in his heart, after all, the departure of this old man also represents the end of an era.
Li Qi didn't give Fan Shaobai time to cry, if Fan Lou can't open the door tomorrow, how to open this door, this is more urgent than Fan Zheng's funeral and needs to be solved. Fan Shaobai originally planned to rest for a few days, and then open the door to do business after Fan Zheng was in the ground. If it was usual, it would be understandable, but now, Li Qi thinks that this will affect the confidence of customers in Fan Lou, so he built Fan Lou to continue to operate tomorrow, and also hopes that Fan Shaobai can distinguish business from private affairs.
Having said that, Fan Lou now has no chef in charge at all, Zhang Chun'er not only left alone, she also took away Fan Lou's entire chef team. Fan Zheng wanted to borrow someone from Drunken Xianju, but the cooking skills of Wu Xiaoliu and others made Li Qi feel at ease, after all, Wu Xiaoliu and others are cooking now, and they are all doing according to the recipes he formulated, and he wrote down every detail on paper, which is equivalent to drawing a scoop according to the gourd. Moreover, the taste of Fan Lou is completely different from that of Zui Xianju, a very authentic taste of the Northern Song Dynasty, you must know that if the dishes of a restaurant lose its unique taste, it is not far from closing. Thoughts come and go, and Li Qi plans to sacrifice his famous stunt - hot pot. At the beginning, he relied on hot pot to make up for the lack of manpower in Drunken Xianju.
This thing doesn't need any cooks, as long as the seasonings are in place, and Li Qi can make a lot of flavors of hot pot, he wants to make a unique taste for Fan Lou, and spend the next few days smoothly before making plans.
Fan Shaobai is still immersed in grief now, where is he in the mood to think about this, and after a little groaning, he agreed.
After discussing with Fan Shaobai, Li Qi left, after all, he stayed there and couldn't help much.
When he returned to the Qin Mansion, it was already five watches, and Li Qi saw that the lights in the front hall were on, and he was curious, who got up so early on a cold day. When she came to the front hall, she saw Mrs. Qin sitting inside, she saw Li Qi coming in, and hurriedly greeted her, saying, "Li Qi, is Master Fan okay?" ”
Li Qi shook his head and sighed, "I just passed away." ”
Mrs. Qin was stunned for a while, sighed lightly, and said, "Is Young Master Fan okay?" ”
Li Qi smiled bitterly: "Can this be good?" ”
Mrs. Qin shook her head slightly, and said suspiciously: "You came from Fan Lou the day before yesterday, didn't you still say that Master Fan's situation is quite optimistic, why is it only a day's work?" ”
"I was about to tell you about it."
Li Qi's face suddenly became stern, and he told Mrs. Qin about Zhang Chun'er.
After hearing this, Mrs. Qin frowned slightly, and said, "In your opinion, Zhang Chun'er is coming for us?" ”
Li Qi shook his head and said: "I don't know for the time being, but I always feel that this matter is related to Pan Lou, and these two things happened almost at the same time, so it is inevitable that people will connect them." ”
"Did you find any clues?" Mrs. Qin hurriedly asked.
Li Qi shook his head and said, "No, it's just intuition." ”
Mrs. Qin asked again, "Then what should we do now?" ”
"Respond to change with the same. That's the only thing we can do now. Li Qi sighed, feeling very helpless in his heart, he didn't even know who the enemy was now, and he couldn't prepare at all.
Mrs. Qin nodded slightly, and seeing that he looked tired, she said with concern: "You are so busy now, you have to pay attention to your body." ”
"Thank you, Madame, for your concern." Li Qi smiled and said: "But when I was young, I didn't fight much, and when I got older, I couldn't fight if I wanted to, and now I am stewed abalone with ginseng every day, and I have made up for everything." ”
Mrs. Qin sneered, gave him a blank look and said: "You person, I really don't know how to say about you, the emperor values you and makes you the deputy head of the imperial dining room, that is your blessing, you are good, all the imperial dining rooms are like their own home, and they will enter the palace in two days to get some abalone, sea cucumbers, shark fins, etc. ”
"How can the emperor know, anyway, it's up to me to decide whether it's black or white. Besides, madam, don't forget, you also ate a lot, remember the day before yesterday, I made the braised abalone with sauce, it seems that you have eaten more than me, even if the emperor asks for the guilt, you can't escape the involvement. Richie laughed.
Mrs. Qin's face flushed, she really liked to eat the braised abalone with that sauce, and she couldn't argue: "That--then you cook so much, if I don't help you eat some, wouldn't it be a waste." ”
"Madam, that's a two-headed abalone, it's a tribute, how can it be wasted, the sixth son also tried to taste it from me three times and twice, but I caught it, and I was reluctant to give him the soup."
Li Qi said and said, he really felt a little hungry, waved his hand, and said, "That's it, that's it, since you feel that you can't eat very much, madam, then I'll cook less in the future." Well, I'm going to get breakfast, ma'am, what do you want to eat? ”
Mrs. Qin said: "I'm not so delicate, what you eat, I'll just eat a little." ”
"Madam, as the eldest sister of our Drunken Immortal Residence, you can't be so casual. Besides, I don't have so much abalone, I'm going to make a bowl of abalone porridge to fill my stomach casually, you still say what you want to eat, I'll do it for you, I'm not tired. Li Qi shook his head.
"What a big sister is, it's strange to hear it." Mrs. Qin glanced at him and said, "You are so stingy, I just said that casually, how can you take it seriously." ”
Li Qi said depressedly: "Madam, when did you learn to joke, but I still like the old lady who didn't smile and said that one is one." Saying that, he looked up to the sky and sighed, and said, "It seems that I have to go to the palace again today." With that, he shook his head and walked out.
After going out, Mrs. Qin finally couldn't help it and giggled.
Li Qi came to the kitchen and put the porridge on the stove for a while, when Cai Minde suddenly came to visit. Li Qi didn't need to ask to know that his coming here must have something to do with Fan Zheng's death. But because he couldn't leave, he could only invite Cai Minde to the kitchen to talk.
Cai Minde was born as a chef, so he didn't mind, the two greeted each other, Cai Minde looked at the stove and said, "Li Gongzi, what are you doing here?" ”
"Porridge."
Li Qi said and added, "White porridge." You also know that I just returned Pan Lou's money, and now I can't even afford to eat meat, alas, why don't you borrow a few hundred yuan to use it first. ”
Cai Minde laughed and said, "Okay." I'll send someone to get it now. Anyway, you still owe me 10,000 guan, and it's not bad for these hundreds. ”
Sweat! When did this old fox become so cheerful?
"That's right, I still owe you 10,000 guan, and you don't say that I forgot about it. In that case, forget it, I'll save money and try to pay back your money as soon as possible. Li Qi smiled and changed the topic: "The staff came here so early, I don't know what the so-called thing is?" ”
Can you forget such a large amount? Fortunately, it was written in black and white with him at the beginning, otherwise this kid would definitely have defaulted. Cai Minde glanced at him and said with a smile: "I heard that Li Gongzi went to Fanlou last night. ”
Straight to the point, I like it. Li Qi half-jokingly said: "The staff is really powerful, nothing can escape the eyes of the outsider." ”
"Where, where, Cai also heard it from outside this morning." Cai Minde said with a sneer.
Li Qi smiled and said, "The news of Old Man Fan's death must have been known to outsiders." ”
Cai Minde nodded and sighed: "Although Cai used to fight to the death with Old Man Fan, but suddenly there is such an opponent, and Cai is not happy in his heart." ”
Perform! Keep playing for me, I'll see if you can perform a flower. Richie laughed at this.
Cai Minde's face was not covered, and he said: "Childe saw the last face of Old Man Fan last night?" ”
Richie nodded.
Cai Minde said: "Now it is rumored outside that the old man Fan was angry with Zhang Niangzi, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”
Depend on. That's spreading too fast, isn't it? Li Qi shook his head and said, "I'm Lang Zhong again, and I don't know much about it." ”
"That lady Zhang left Fan Lou, the son won't know about it."
"I know that."
"Old man Fan invited Gongzi to go overnight, presumably because he wanted to ask Gongzi to help."
Li Qi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's really clever to be outside." ”
"Where, where." Cai Minde shook his head and said, "But I don't know how the son is going to do it?" ”
It seems that this old man still doesn't give up on Fan Lou. Li Qi knew that Cai Minde was probing his own tone, and if he didn't plan to make a move, this old man would definitely fall into the ground. said: "I once owed Mr. Fan a favor, not so much to help, but to repay the debt." ”
The implication is nothing more than suing Cai Minde, and he will help. Fan Lou is already chaotic enough now, if Cai Minde intervenes again, it will really make matters worse, so Li Qi wants to shock Cai Minde first and let him not act rashly.
A flash of disappointment flashed in Cai Minde's eyes, but he quickly adjusted, and glanced at Li Qi meaningfully: "It's strange to say, Mrs. Zhang has always been loyal to Fan Lou, and she treats Old Man Fan more like a father, why did she leave suddenly, Cai is really puzzled." ”
Not good. Could it be that this old man also noticed that Zhang Chun'er's departure had something to do with me? If that's the case, that's bad. Li Qi frowned secretly in his heart, Cai Minde's ambition is clearer than anyone else, and now is really a great opportunity for Cai Minde, the closure of Pan Lou, the turmoil of Fan Lou, and the potential threat of Zhang Chun'er, this is simply a godsend. Although he and Cai Minde are still partners, if there is a chance, Li Qi knows that Cai Minde will not hesitate to make a move.
This old cunning is really a difficult opponent. Li Qi secretly complained in his heart, but he said disdainfully: "Such ungrateful people still mention her to do something." Outside, I'll tell you the truth, I look down on this kind of person the most, she'd better not appear in the restaurant world again, otherwise I'll have to put her down. ”
You still fix her, I see she's coming for you. But this kid has always had a lot of ideas, and Zhang Chun'er is really not his opponent, so I'll take a look. Cai Minde smiled: "That's, that's." ”
