The desertion of Pig Killing Alley couldn't help but break the tranquility of the early morning, and it also officially opened the prelude to the battle between the Drunken Immortal Residence and the overlord of Jade Xuan South City.
Just after the hour, the price of pork, which had just risen, suddenly took a sharp turn.
A large amount of pork and mutton spread around the periphery with some large restaurants such as Jade Xuan as the axis.
On the street, you can see some bartenders and idlers selling some cooked meat, and the price of this cooked meat is almost the same as raw meat, which is basically unprofitable.
Not only that, but the surrounding foot shops and smaller restaurants, today's pork prices are also unusually low, and as for the price in Nancheng, it is even lower by one or two cents.
As for the lamb, it is also lower than usual.
Now it's terrible, those customers have poured into major restaurants, foot shops, competing to buy meat, and all vegetables and fruits are rolled aside.
Due to the war, the price of this meat has been rising, but I didn't expect it to drop so much this time, and those people who are usually reluctant to buy meat to eat also bought meat today, for fear that the price of this meat will rise again tomorrow.
It seems that no matter what era the common people are, they are inevitably greedy for cheapness, and it is no wonder that life is forced.
Cai Minde and others bought a large number of pork and mutton, although it caused chaos in the market, but also benefited most of the small restaurants, although they sold at a low price, but they purchased from Jade Xuan, Pan Lou and other big restaurants at a lower price, which is equal to still earning, not to mention that there are several times more guests.
Now the thresholds of these big restaurants are about to be trampled on.
Of course, Zuixianju is an exception, as no restaurant is willing to sell meat to Zuixianju.
Obviously, this series of actions is aimed at the Drunken Immortal Residence.
But it wasn't yet noon, so the guests didn't notice anything unusual.
Drunken Immortal Residence.
Li Qi was sitting in the lounge, and in addition, Wu Furong's uncle and nephew and Chen Anan were also inside, and they had gone out to investigate again just now and got some accurate information.
To put it bluntly, Cai Minde is playing the trick of monopoly. They first reached an agreement with those pig farmers of average size inside and outside the city to buy out their pork, and then signed contracts with several major butchers in Bianjing to become the general distributors of several major butchers.
Richie knew that they must have promised the butchers how much meat they would sell each day, though the exact amount was not known. But the amount is definitely only a lot more than before.
At this point, Li Qi really can't fight with them, after all, the other party is a team of more than 20 restaurants, and anyone with a lot of money can kill you.
As for the small retail investors who only came to sell a pig in a few days, Cai Minde ignored it.
All in all, there is meat, but there is no part of your drunken immortal residence.
"Brother Li, you don't know. Outside the city, there are also people from Jade Xuan and other restaurants, where they directly set up meat cases. The price is also very cheap, and now those restaurants and foot shops outside the city are all buying meat from Jade Xuan. Wu Xiaoliu said with a depressed face.
Chen Anan said: "Not only that, but I heard that the price of food and wine in Jade Xuan has also dropped a lot. Because today is a special period, he did not go to the western suburbs with Xiaoyu.
Wu Furong jumped up angrily and scolded: "What does this old fox want to do? Now that the price of meat, let alone making money, it is a good thing not to lose money in it. β
"It's not like losing money, they are buying at a lower price than before. It's just that he didn't make any money, and if they didn't sell it like this, then wouldn't they grab a handful of meat and get moldy. β
Li Qi shook his head and asked, "Have the prices of food and wine in other restaurants come down?" β
Chen Anan said: "In addition to the meat price of other restaurants is the same as that of Jade Xuan, the price of vegetables and wine has dropped quite little. β
Li Qi smiled: "That's it. Cai Minde he can not make money, but other restaurants can't afford to lose, he is playing with us now to fight hard power, he knows very well where his advantages are, not bad. Not bad, kind of interesting. β
Wu Furong stretched his face and said, "I don't know what's interesting about the old decay." β
Li Qi said with a smile: "Uncle Wu, Jade Xuan made a move earlier, then we can still find a way to deal with it, but if he keeps holding up without making a move and keeps hanging there, it will be uncomfortable." β
Wu Furong was pleasantly surprised: "Could it be that you already have a countermeasure?" β
Li Qi shook his head and said, "I'm still thinking about what to do, by the way, Uncle Wu, do you think you can find a way to find a meat source in a nearby town?" β
"I've thought about this too."
Wu Furong sighed and said: "But you don't know, since the last time the emperor sent Lord Wang Xiang to levy military salaries in order to attack Liao, the result was that the people were miserable, and the people were also miserable. β
Speaking of this, Wu Furong sighed again, and said: "The imperial court is still raising taxes, and those small butchers in the surrounding towns don't have much to earn, if we go to them to buy meat, it is estimated that it will be difficult to have room for negotiation, even if we buy meat, if we sell it at the price of Jade Xuan, they will not make money or lose, but we will have to lose money to sell it inside, and we will lose as much as we sell, which will take two months, how can we stand it." But if we sell it at the previous price, those customers may come to scold us. β
"You have a point."
Li Qi sighed, in fact, Li Qi had also heard about those things about Wang Huang's levy of military salaries, and it was obvious that it was killing chickens and eggs, and many businessmen were directly bankrupt at that time, and the restaurant industry was also greatly affected. sighed: "But you still ask someone to take a look, just leave a way back." β
Wu Furong nodded and said, "It seems that it can only be like this, alas, how long has it been better." β
Li Qi smiled: "Uncle Wu, you don't need to worry so much, if they think that they can defeat us in this way, then they can't help but look down on me Li Qi, isn't he in a hurry to sell meat outside now, then we can let them sell less, just sell less." β
"So how do you get him to sell less?"
"Attract guests to our Drunken Immortal Residence."
Wu Furong said depressedly: "We don't even have a piece of mutton, where will those guests come to us-Could it be your first bread in the world?" β
Li Qi smiled and nodded: "That's just to lure customers to our store, as for how to keep them." After a pause, he smiled and said, "There is no way, I can only invite the treasure of our Drunken Immortal Residence." β
Wu Furong exclaimed: "The treasure of the town store? What is it? How do you not know? β
Li Qi pointed his hand at himself and said, "Isn't it me?" β
"You?"
Wu Furong was completely stunned.
That's when it happened. Chen Dazhu ran in and said, "Brother Li, the cauldron has been brought, and the other materials are ready." β
Li Qi got up and said to Wu Furong: "Uncle Wu, if Cai Minde also wraps up the rice, then I will completely admit defeat, as long as there is a meal here, I am afraid that there will be no guests to eat." β
Several people came to the kitchen. But I saw a large iron pot about one meter long with a diameter of about one meter on a stove in the kitchen, and a round iron plate inside.
Wu Furong exclaimed: "Li Gongzi, you don't plan to make such a big cake, do you?" β
Richie nodded.
"And what's the name of your loaf?"
"Pizza."
The corners of Li Qi's mouth hooked, and he said to Wu Xiaoliu and them: "Listen, when I do it later, you must study the side, and when the guests come, I won't have the time to teach you to do it again." β
Next, Li Qi began to make his first bread in the world.
For this. He also took out the natural yeast that he used to make zuΓ² when he made wine, although there was already yeast in this year. But it was not professional enough, he had planned to wait until the first birthday party to bring out the yeast, and then start to gradually promote the new pastry, but now it seems that it can only be used in advance.
The only pity is that there are no tomatoes in the Northern Song Dynasty now, let alone tomato sauce, but no one has eaten tomatoes anyway. You can use other jams or bean pastes instead.
As for the cream, it will have to wait a few days before it can be applied to this pizza.
Chinese cakes or buns like to put the filling inside, just like the Chinese's subtle and humble character. Foreigners are more unrestrained, so the filling of this pizza is directly placed on the cake, as a new product, pizza can attract customers more intuitively, and pizza and hot pot have the same effect. A piece of bread can change countless flavors.
Richie's favorite thing to eat is Mexican-style pizza.
When Li Qi was cooking, he explained to Wu Xiaoliu how to make this pizza, from the noodles, to the condiments, and the proportion of vegetables and fruits, after all, the fruits and vegetables needed for pizza cannot be added at will, so the taste cannot reach the best.
In the face of the great enemy, Wu Xiaoliu and the others naturally did not dare to slack off, and listened extremely seriously.
After a while, the biggest pizza was in the pan.
Then Li Qi asked Wu Xiaoliu and others to do it themselves, and he guided on the side, of course, they didn't make it as big as Li Qi, and the diameter was three centimeters, after all, the big cake was only used to attract customers.
After teaching, Li Qi saw that the time was almost up, came to the hall, asked people to hang out the horizontal strip that read "The First Cake in the World", and opened the door to prepare for business.
"Brother Li, the table and the wood are ready." Chen Anan walked up to Li Qi and said.
Li Qi glared at him and said, "What kind of wood is that, what is that wake-up wood, remember?" β
"Yes, yes, Xingmu, I remember."
"Tell someone to carry them to the second floor."
As soon as Li Qi turned around as he spoke, he saw Bai Qiannuo hurriedly walking in.
"Qi Niang, why are you here?" Li Qi laughed.
Bai Qiannuo said anxiously: "Brother Li, I heard this morning that the Jade Xuan on the other side and the other restaurants have bought all the pork and mutton in the market, is this aimed at you?" β
I didn't expect her sense of smell to be quite good.
Li Qi nodded and said, "That's why you're here for this?" β
Bai Qiannuo nodded.
Li Qi pouted and said, "I'll still treat you as if you came to me." β
When will this person be serious? Bai Qiannuo glanced at him and said, "It's all at this time, and you're still joking with me." β
Li Qi laughed and said: "People are willing to spend this money, can I still stop it, don't worry, the Drunken Immortal Residence is not so easy to collapse." β
Bai Qiannuo was overjoyed and said, "Could it be that you have a way to deal with it?" Also, what about the banner in front of the door that reads 'The First Bread' in the World? β
Li Qi smiled: "That's just a temporary coping, what to do, I'm still thinking, by the way, you will have to taste this cake later." There is a resemblance between this cake and the smile. β
"Really."
Seeing the confidence on his face, Bai Qiannuo was not worried, and said, "Then I have to taste it, by the way, Sister Wang?" How is she now? β
"Rested in the backyard."
Li Qi sighed and said, "Don't you know your sister Wang, I'm afraid that even if the sky falls, she won't be moved." At best, it's a bad idea. β
"You, you always like to speak ill of Sister Wang, I ignore you."
Bai Qiannuo walked towards the backyard as he spoke, and halfway through, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked at Li Qi suspiciously, and said, "On your forehead?" β
Li Qi was shocked, covered his forehead with one hand, and said, "This." Tickle. β
"Tickle?"
Bai Qian Nuodai frowned lightly and said, "Why are you so careless." β
"Mistakes, mistakes. Go to Madame. β
"Oh."
After Bai Qiannuo left, Li Qi also went back to the kitchen.
After a while, the guests of the Drunken Immortal Residence gradually increased, and they were all talking about the first cake in the world, and it seemed that the banner was more attractive than the low-priced pork and mutton.
Just as Li Qi was busy in the kitchen, a female bartender suddenly came to the door and shouted, "Master Li, Hong Gongzi and Gao Yanei are here, they told you to go out." β
These two goods are also here to join in the fun.
Li Qi nodded. I washed my hands and went out. When I came to the hall, I saw Gao Yanei, Hong Tianjiu, and Zhou Hua Fat with five or six idlers asking a female bartender about something.
"Brother Li, you are really not enough brothers."
As soon as Hong Tianjiu saw Li Qi coming, he rushed forward. Grumbled.
Li Qi was surprised: "What do you mean?" β
Gao Yanei squinted and said, "Hey, Li Qi, we are also the golden members of your Drunken Immortal Residence, what kind of cake do you make in the world." Why don't you call someone to invite me and wait? β
Hong Tianjiu nodded, "That's it, that is, if it weren't for San Lang suing me, I wouldn't know yet, if I missed the first cake in the world, I would have to regret it for life." β
Do you want to invite too? Depend on! How can I have so many people?
Li Qi squeezed out a smile and said, "Don't worry, we will sell this cake in the next few days, and nothing else will be sold, you can just give it to me." β
As soon as the words fell, I suddenly heard a very magnetic voice from outside the door, "Brother Li, don't come to harm." β
Li Qi turned his head to look, his expression was furled, and he said in surprise: "Brother Zhao, why are you here too." β
The person who came was Zhao Yun, with a purple robe and a golden belt, and he was still handsome.
This Zhao Yun is the only handsome man who can make him feel a little pressure after Li Qi has been in the Northern Song Dynasty for so long.
Zhao Yun laughed and said, "What? Can't I come? β
Li Qi smiled: "How can it, I'm naturally happy that you can come, but you are too, you have only come once in such a long time." β
Zhao Yun smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, something happened at home, so I haven't been able to come to the party." As he spoke, he said to Gao Yanei again: "Yanei, you are here too." β
From the time Zhao Yun came in until now, Gao Yanei has been looking at him in a daze, and now he has reacted, nodded and smiled: "Brother, why are you here too." β
Brother?
Li Qi's face was startled, and he said, "You know?" β
Zhao Yun smiled and nodded: "I have known Yanai since childhood. β
Gao Yanei nodded and said, "Yes, yes." β
Li Qihu glanced at them suspiciously, and was very puzzled in his heart, how did this Gao Ya suddenly become honest when he saw Zhao Yun?
Just when Li Qi was puzzled, he suddenly heard Zhao Yun laugh and said: "Brother Li, I didn't expect these three absolutes to be matched so quickly." β
As soon as he mentioned this, Li Qi cursed the big official again in his heart, and said: "There are countless talented people in my Great Song Dynasty, and these three pairs are not absolute, and it is reasonable to be judged by others now." β
"Absolutely?"
Zhao Yun raised his head, looked at the three pairs, shook his head and smiled: "Do you know how much effort it took to figure out these three absolutes?" β
Li Qi was stunned for a moment and said, "Could it be that Brother Zhao knows this pair of people who are out of the alliance?" β
Zhao Yun was also stunned, snorted, and said, "I heard that Brother Li has recently launched many delicacies, I have to try them today, by the way, there is also that boiling water songye leaf." β
Day! Big customer! Butβyou couldn't have come at the right time.
Li Qi held back his tears and said, "Brother Zhao, what do you have to do today?" Wouldn't it be nice to save your appetite and try my freshly made pizza. β
"Pizza?"
Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't it the first cake in the world hanging at the door?" β
"Not bad."
Li Qi nodded and said: "This cake is more delicious and diverse than the mandarin duck pot, and it will definitely not disappoint you." β
"I'd like to try it."
Zhao Yun smiled and nodded.
"Brother Li, when will I have to eat?" Hong Tianjiu was anxious.
Li Qi smiled: "Soon." Sit down, I'll go to the kitchen first. β
After a while, it was almost time for the guests to come, Li Qi finally walked out of the kitchen, followed by Wu Xiaoliu and others, but saw that they were still carrying an iron plate in their hands, and on the iron plate was placed a round cake with a diameter of almost one meter long, and the big cake was orange, yellow, red and green, colorful. It's tempting!
There was an uproar in the hall.
Everyone got up one after another, staring at the big cake, and the water was swallowing to their stomachs.
This is not the best cake in the world. It is not known yet, but it is definitely the largest cake in the world.
At this time, Bai Qiannuo was also standing on the third floor, and when he saw this cake, he remembered his eyebrows and smiled again, and before he had eaten it, he felt a burst of sweetness in his heart, and looked at Li Qi with a smile.
"LeeβRichie, is thisβthis a cake?" Gao Yanai rushed over and pouted. Surprised.
Yokel.
Li Qi nodded with a smile, and then asked Wu Xiaoliu to put the cake on the table in the middle, and then arched his hand to everyone: "Thank you for coming, today the shop grandly launched a new style of baked cakes, called pizza." My wife loves this kind of cake. That's why she designated this day as Pizza Day, and since this is the first pizza day, the shop will sell pizza for seven days in a row, but rest assured, the taste will never be the same every day. But if you want to eat this pizza again after these seven days, you will have to wait until this time next year, so if you like it, don't miss this opportunity. β
"Pizza day, fun, fun."
Hong Tianjiu nodded with a smile and said.
Li Qi glanced at everyone, and saw that they all had a greedy look on their faces, and they didn't associate the matter of killing the pig in the morning with the Drunken Immortal House at all, and immediately glanced at Wu Xiaoliu and the others, who immediately took out a knife and cut the big cake.
I heard Li Qi say again: "In order to repay your love for the Drunken Immortal Residence, my wife will provide this cake for you to taste for free, please enjoy it." β
Pieces of triangular pizza are placed on a plate and served to the guests by the bartender.
Hong Tianjiu and Gao Yanei stuffed the cake into their mouths when they received it, and they enjoyed it, and the two of them wiped out the cakes on the plate in an instant, and hurriedly snatched two more from Wu Xiaoliu's hands.
Zhao Yun nodded vigorously after eating, and said: "This cake is crispy on the outside and loose on the inside, with moderate softness, and it is fragrant with scallions, green onions, and jam, which is much better than other cakes." β
"Brother, you have to see who made it, although Li Qi is a little long-winded, but he still has no cooking skills." Gao Yanei said vaguely with a mouth full of pizza.
As for the other guests, they were all full of enjoyment, nodding vigorously and praising the cake, it shouldn't be that the amount is too small and not enjoyable enough, and the big cake has already been divided.
At this moment, the bartenders came forward and began to recommend this pizza, and at the moment Li Qi only made two pizzas with different flavors.
When everyone heard it, they didn't say a word, but they had one share.
That's almost the case at almost no table.
This table in Gao Ya is even more incredible, one person has two servings, and then enjoy eating first.
When Zhao Yun saw it, he also shook his head with a wry smile, looked left and right, and suddenly said, "Huh? Where is Brother Li? β
"Yes, Brother Li is still here." Hong Tianjiu was also surprised.
Suddenly, a loud bang came from the second floor.
Everyone looked up, but saw that Li Li Qi was standing behind a long table on the second floor, holding a wooden block in one hand and a goose feather fan in the other, shaking his head slightly, and posing in a very handsome posture.
Hong Tianjiu said: "Brother Li, what are you doing standing so high?" β
Depend on! Is this high?
Li Qi was almost thrown at him by Hong Tianjiu, coughed lightly, and sang slowly, "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water, Waves Sweeping Away Heroes." Success or failure turns empty. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. The white-haired fish is on the river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet. How many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking. β
How many heroic feelings are sung in one song.
"How many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking."
Leaning on the wooden railing on the third floor, Bai Qiannuo looked at Li Qi infatuatedly, and his hot eyes gradually became fanatical.
The guests downstairs are already stupid.
"Good! Brother Li, sing well, a good 'green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red a few times'. β
Zhao Yun was the first to react, and stood up and clapped his hands in praise, his face was full of pride.
Everyone also came to their senses and applauded.
Hong Tianjiu even jumped on the stool and shouted, "Okay! Brother Li, the singing is so good, sing it again. β
"Hey, Li Qi, this is what the Red Lady taught you again!" Gao Yanei said with a look of surprise.
Depend on! This guy is really worried about the red slave, and it seems that he will have to guard against this kid in the future.
Li Qi's face was silent, he glanced at everyone, and his heart was happy, it really deserved to be one of the four masterpieces, this is just the beginning, and the appetite of these people has dropped, haha! Refreshing! It seems that I made the right move on this second move.
Everyone started to coax again, asking Li Qi to sing again, Li Qi rapped and sang just now, and many people didn't react.
Sweat! Lao Tzu is not here to participate in the depressed boys.
Li Qi coughed lightly and said loudly: "Speaking of the general trend of the world, it will be together for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time." Over the weekend, the Seven Kingdoms divided and merged into Yuqin. After the destruction of Qin, Chu and Han divided and disputed, and then merged into the Han - sometimes there were eunuchs Cao Jie and others to seize power, Dou Wu and Chen Fan conspired to punish them, the machine was not secret, but they were harmed, and Zhongjuan has become more and more horizontal since then. β
As a post-80s generation, when I was a child, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, and Journey to the West were the best playmates, and I watched it again and again, and I couldn't put it down.
Everyone saw that Li Qi did not sing, but told the story, and listened more seriously, and in the entire hall, only Li Qi's voice could be heard.
The one written in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is called a stick. The stories inside are one link after another, and each one is more exciting than the other.
After Li Qi finished talking about the Taoyuan Three Knots, everyone began to enter the state, and the love xΓΉ also followed the story, and when Li Qi said that Cao Mengde offered the treasure knife, everyone was very nervous.
When Li Qi said that Guan Yunchang beheaded Huaxiong, everyone applauded again, and Hong Tianjiu immediately regarded Guan Yunchang as his idol, and his white face was excited.
Even Wu Furong's old goods finally left the counter and stood downstairs and listened.
Some of the guests who had just come in, seeing that there was no bartender to greet them, did not know the reason, and just prepared to shout habitually, they were glared back by countless warning eyes, and they found a table to sit down, and after a while, they were also attentive.
Now in the entire Drunken Immortal Residence, Li Qi is the most sober, he looked at the sky, and said passionately: "There is a way to be Lu Bu among people, red rabbit among horses, this person is brave and good at fighting, wearing a golden crown, wearing a red brocade and hundred flowers robe, and wearing a beast face swallowing head chain armor on his shoulders. Holding Fang Tian's halberd, he sat down and hissed the red rabbit horse, and with the strength of one person, he fought with the three of Liu, Guan, and Zhang for more than a hundred rounds, but he still did not fall behind, at this moment. β
Bang.
Li Qi patted the wood and drank a cup of tea before saying, "If you want to know the details, please listen to the next decomposition." (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
