Chapter 156: Preparations

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Who is Tang Bohu, that is an expert in ancient pickled girls, and his poems naturally have an unstoppable charm for women.

Li Qi used his poems to not only suppress Feng Yinu's arrogance, but also won Li Qingzhao a few faint smiles, as for Bai Qiannuo, not to mention, he almost promised himself.

It's worth it, it's so worth it.

The excited Li Qi thanked Tang Bohu's ancestors for eight lifetimes in his heart.

But even so, with a big man like Li Qi here, Li Qingzhao's interest was naturally not high, and after sitting for a while, they went back.

Li Qi originally wanted to send Bai Qiannuo back, but the Feng Yinu came in sideways and invited Bai Qiannuo to her house to sit down.

In desperation, Li Qi had to go back to the Drunken Immortal Residence, went to the kitchen to see it, and when he saw that it was in order, he went back to the Qin Mansion and began to prepare for Cai Jing's grandson's first birthday banquet.

In terms of dishes, Li Qi is confident, but those trivial things, and some ingredients that are not available this year make him more nerve-wracking.

Although there are still about 20 days before the first birthday party, there are many things that must be prepared urgently.

After returning to the Qin Mansion, Li Qi asked Mrs. Chen to get some paper and charcoal, and then plunged into his bedroom, and was busy until almost four watches, when he went to bed.

The next day, Li Qi got up on time without an alarm clock, and as soon as he opened his eyes, suddenly there seemed to be a figure sitting in front of the bed, so frightened that he screamed and hurriedly shrank towards the wall.

"Master Li, you're too timid. If I try to harm you, will you still live? ”

Maqiao?

Li Qi wiped his eyes, fixed his eyes, and saw that sitting on the edge of the bed was not Ma Qiao, and a nameless anger rushed up and said angrily: "How did you get in?" ”

If Maqiao enters through the main entrance, someone will naturally come to inform you.

Ma Qiao sneered: "I can't bear to disturb your wife." So I came in over the wall. ”

Over the wall?

Li Qi said angrily: "You can be a little plain no, who allowed you to come in, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will let you get out now." ”

"I knocked on the door. But you slept like a pig, and I was afraid of being seen, so I came in by myself. Ma Qiao explained.

I didn't expect me to sleep so dead.

Li Qi sighed gloomily. "Then how long have you been here?" ”

"It's been half an hour."

"Half an hour?"

Li Qi's eyes widened, his back was cold, if this Ma Qiao had the intention of harming him, then he was not enough for ten lives, and hummed: "Didn't I warn you, without my permission, you are not allowed to appear within the range of the Drunken Immortal Residence." ”

Ma Qiao rolled his eyes and said, "Have you woken up, here is the Qin Mansion." ”

"Well, from today onwards, you are not allowed to come to the Qin Mansion, let alone come to my room." Li Qi said with a headache.

Ma Qiao sighed. A look of depression on his face.

Li Qi shook his head helplessly and asked, "Say, what are you looking for me?" ”

Ma Qiao said: "I-I just want you to find me a job to do, otherwise if you let you face those little dolls all day long, I will really suffocate to death." ”

"Damn! I think something else is going on. Such a little thing, is it worth going over the wall? Richie exclaimed speechlessly.

Ma Qiao said with a smile: "This wall is not very high, and it is not difficult to climb." ”

Three black lines appeared on Li Qi's forehead, and he said, "Isn't there still your junior sister there, don't you just play with her." ”

"You also said that Meimei is busy cooking for those girls all day long. How can you pay attention to me? Ma Qiao complained.

It seemed that the woman was a diligent person.

Li Qi felt a little relieved, glanced at Ma Qiao, groaned slightly, and said: "That's it, I just have a room in Xicheng that is being decorated, you can go there to help, anyway, you have a lot of strength left." ”

"What? You even asked me to be a craftsman. Ma Qiao said incredulously.

Li Qi snorted, "What? You don't want to? Then forget it, you better go back, what you want to do, just find it yourself, anyway, just don't appear within the range of the Drunken Immortal Residence. ”

"Uh, yes, yes, the craftsman is the craftsman, so it's a practice." Ma Qiao scratched his head and said distressedly.

Li Qi shook his head and said, "Okay, it's free today, tomorrow I will ask someone to find you, what to do, they will tell you." However, you still have to escort Xiaoyu and them back at night, and if something happens to them, I will ask for you. ”

"You can rest assured."

Ma Qiao stood up and said, "Then I'll go." ”

"No."

Li Qi snorted angrily, and said: "Remember, don't let people see it, MD, early in the morning, a man went out of my room, what is the matter." ”

Ma Qiao glanced at Li Qi in fear, and then hurriedly escaped.

With this look, the angry Li Qi almost fainted, he wouldn't think that labor and management were faggots.

After sending away the plague god Maqiao, Li Qi washed up, and then went to the Taishi Mansion with the drawings he had drawn last night.

When he came to Taishi's Mansion, Li Qi directly found Cai Yong, after all, Cai Jing's father and son had no leisure to take care of these things.

After Li Qi and Cai Yong exchanged pleasantries for a while, they explained their intentions, and then handed him the drawings, hoping that he could find a way to get out as many things as possible on the drawings.

Cai Yong looked at the drawings and looked at them, and suddenly pointed to this one drawing, and asked, "Master Li, you said that this kind of wine glass must be used for this banquet?" ”

Li Qi glanced at the red wine glass painted on the drawing and said with a smile: "Yes, and I hope to use glass to make it." ”

"Glass?"

Cai Yong was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "Li Gongzi doesn't know, this glass is hard to find, and the amount you need is so much, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up if I do it now." ”

This glass is precious, Li Qi knows it, because the manufacturing process of the glass in these years is very complicated and cumbersome, and the success rate is relatively low, so it is difficult to buy in the world. But he thought that there should be no problem for Cai Jing, but he never thought that even Cai Jing could not do this.

This qiē is all because the technology is too backward!

Li Qi sighed secretly in his heart, his brows furrowed, and it seemed that he wanted to popularize wine glasses at this first birthday banquet. It's very difficult, only to find a way to start from the glass aspect, anyway, Lao Tzu knows the principle of making glass. As for practice, believe me, the craftsmen in China are not all straw bales.

Although glass is available today, the quality and yield are not very optimistic. The slightly better glass is still imported from the Western Regions, Arabia and other places, and the price alone is not suitable for making wine glasses.

Seeing that Li Qi was silent, Cai Yong shouted, "Master Li, Master Li." ”

Li Qi was slightly stunned and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Cai Yong rolled his eyes, pointed to the drawings and said, "Look at this wine glass?" ”

"Oh, forget it, what kind of wine glasses did you use before. Then what kind of wine glasses to use. Li Qi nodded and smiled, although the lack of this wine glass will make this banquet a lot of discoloration, but this is also helpless.

Cai Yong nodded and took out another drawing. But when he saw a wooden barrel painted on it, and there was a turntable on top of the barrel, he asked, "Master Li, what is this?" ”

Li Qi laughed: "This is a hand blender. ”

Cai Yong was surprised: "Hand stirrer? ”

"Oh, this is for making zuò cream."

"Cream?"

Day. I forgot that there was no such thing as cream these days.

In fact, it is now buttery again, but there are still very few people who eat it in the Central Plains. And their method of making zuò cream is also relatively backward, first let the milk stand, wait for it to separate naturally, take the upper layer of milk skin, and then put it into a leather bag, repeatedly beat, to form cream, but this method is too backward, and the efficiency value is also very low.

Of course, Li Qi's method of making zuò cream with a hand-cranked blender is also relatively backward, but because of today's technology, it is impossible to make the cream separator, so he can only retreat and use a hand-cranked blender to replace the leather bag.

Li Qi explained: "This cream is just the same seasoning, by the way, Steward Cai, I have to trouble you to prepare a large amount of milk for me." ”

Cai Yong nodded and said, "It's not difficult, when you want it, send someone to get it." ”

After Zhao Taizu established the Northern Song Dynasty, due to the implementation of the policy of protecting cultivated cattle and dairy cows, milk production increased dramatically, and the dairy industry also developed accordingly.

"Thank you very much." Li Qi arched his hand.

"Master Li is too polite."

Cai Yong smiled slightly, then took out two more pieces of paper and asked, "What are these toothed knives and this small fork for?" ”

He hadn't seen any of the things on these drawings, so he couldn't help but feel very curious, he knew that Cai Qian attached great importance to this first birthday banquet, so he didn't dare to be sloppy.

Li Qi smiled: "These are all some cutlery, which are used to match the dishes I am going to cook that day." ”

"I see."

Cai Yong nodded and said, "Master Li, forgive me for asking more, what kind of dishes you plan to cook and how to use them are just as strange as ever." ”

Li Qi laughed and said: "Second Master Cai's young son is one year old, I naturally have to make some special dishes, otherwise how to deal with the love of Master Cai and Second Master, as for what kind of dishes they are, I can't tell, and Steward Cai will naturally know when the time comes." ”

"That's, that's."

Cai Yong nodded, and suddenly heard a knock on the door, followed by a girl's voice, "Big housekeeper, the second master asked me to ask you, is Master Li here for you?" ”

Cai Yong arched his brows and said, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"The second master said, if Master Li is here, let him go over."

Looking for me?

Li Qi frowned, and he was also full of doubts in his heart.

Cai Yong glanced at Li Qi and said, "You wait first." As he spoke, he said to Li Qi: "Since the second master is invited, then Master Li will go more." ”

Li Qi smiled and nodded, and after saying goodbye to Cai Yong, he went out and followed the maid to Cai Yan's courtyard.

After the maid reported, Li Qi opened the door and walked in, at this time, in addition to some maids waiting, there was also a man and a woman sitting, needless to say, the man naturally needless to say, it was Cai Juan, as for the woman, Li Qi could only sigh bitterly, it was really a narrow road!

This woman is Feng Yinu.
