Shoes?
On the surface, Emperor Roufu is not wrong.
Under the hood is indeed a shoe, a crystal slipper to be exact, and more strictly speaking, it should be a shoe-shaped crystal cake.
But see this "crystal shoe" crystal clear, glowing with a trace of purple light, high heel, pointed toe, beveled edge with engraved plum blossom-like pattern, very shallow, very hazy, exuding a trace of charming brilliance.
Under the "crystal slipper" is a round base, cone-shaped, with a cream-framed pattern on the side, which is more layered, and looks like a white skirt at first glance, with red cherry embellishments, which is extremely beautiful.
The allure of this crystal slipper, even in later generations, no girl can resist, let alone now.
Zhao Duofu didn't feel stupid.
Li Qi looked at Zhao Duofu's demented expression, and couldn't help but feel smug, he didn't waste all his efforts in vain. In fact, this cake is what later generations called the crystal cake, but Li Qi made a crystal slipper with ingenuity.
You must know that the appearance of cakes is not because of taste, but more about meaning, so Li Qi feels that for a cake chef, he must give each cake to his own meaning, so that it can be called a cake, otherwise, no matter how delicious it is, it will lose the true meaning of cake.
After another while, Li Qi saw that Zhao Duofu had not yet woken up from the shock, so he shouted softly: "Emperor Roufu, Emperor Roufu?" β
Zhao Duofu was slightly stunned, first covered his mouth with a pair of small hands, and opened his big pure eyes roundly, giving Li Qi a late surprised expression. It's cute, and it makes Richie laugh out loud.
He laughed. Zhao Duofu reacted immediately, quickly put down his little hand, pointed to the crystal cake again, and said, "This-is this a birthday cake?" β
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "Yes." But in his heart, he thought that his answer was idiotic.
Zhao Duofu was curious: "Why does this birthday cake look like this, why is it different from what I saw before." β
Richie smiled and explained, "Didn't I say, I'm going to make you a one-of-a-kind cake, if it's the same as those cakes." How can it be called unique? β
Zhao Duofu thought for a while and said, "That's right." After a pause, she asked, "But why do you want to make shoes look so beautiful?" β
Li Qi simply ignored the latter sentence and said, "Good question, in fact, there is a story hidden behind this cake." Would you like to hear it? β
Child, where is there any resistance to the story, Zhao Duofu chick pecked rice and nodded.
The two sat down around the table, and Li Qi cleared his throat and said, "A long, long time ago, there was a country called Greece in the west. β
A story that can be related to the crystal slipper. Needless to say, it is naturally the "Cinderella" that will be talked about in later generations.
It can be seen that Li Qike also took great pains to integrate fairy tale elements into the birthday cake, which can be said to be tailor-made for this thirteen-year-old girl.
The story is short. But Richie spoke for a long time, and Guy always talked about some Western elements. Zhao Duofu always broke the casserole and asked to the end, and even asked Cinderella's height clearly, which often made Li Qi scramble, if he was replaced by Xiao Liuzi, it is estimated that he would have slapped him twice.
After several twists and turns, Li Qi finally announced the finale with a perfect counterattack posture of Cinderella, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, it's over." β
However, at this time, Zhao Duofu's side was quiet.
No, at this time, she shouldn't have said, listen well, and say another one. Li Qi glanced at Zhao Duofu curiously, and saw that the little girl was lying on the table, already full of pear blossoms, and seemed to be still intoxicated by the story.
No, this little witch is so emotional, she cried, or my vocal cords are too infectious. Li Qi was stunned again, and shouted: "Emperor Roufu, what are you doing?" β
Zhao Duofu glanced at Li Qi and said, "Li Qi, do you say that there are really fairies in this world?" β
"Well, theoretically, no."
Zhao Duofu didn't seem to be satisfied with Li Qi's answer, pouted, but didn't say much, and said, "Cinderella is really lucky to meet a fairy." β
Li Qi said with a smile: "Emperor Roufu, you don't have to envy her, she is just fake, and you are the real emperor, the future husband must be a prince and general, almost, we don't want it." β
Zhao Duofu pouted and said, "I'm not rare." β
That's right, you don't need to be rare at all, other people's fairy tales may be ordinary in your eyes. Li Qi smiled and said, "However, this story also tells us a truth, that is, no matter what difficulties and hardships we face, as long as we have an infinite hope for a better future and maintain a kind and positive attitude, we will eventually achieve a happy life." Although the story is about love, it can also be borrowed from family affection. β
Zhao Duofu thought for a while and said, "Do you want me to keep the mentality of Cinderella to face the third brother leaving me?" β
Li Qi said: "Clever! As long as you have a bright future in your heart and maintain a positive attitude, sooner or later, you will reunite with your third brother. β
"I know you don't have a good heart."
Am I not at ease? Li Qi was at a loss.
Zhao Duofu muttered to himself again: "But what you said is also right, if the third brother knows that Huan Huan is disobedient and is bent on revenge on that wicked man, he will definitely be angry with Huan Huan, and it's a big deal if Huan Huan doesn't go to find that wicked man." β
That's what she was thinking! Li Qi couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and couldn't help but reach out and stroke Zhao Duofu's little head, with a trace of guilt in his eyes full of pity.
Zhao Duofu suddenly turned his head and looked at Li Qi in surprise.
Li Qi was stunned by her, and secretly scolded himself, damn it, this is the emperor's head, how can he touch it. Quickly withdrew his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." β
Zhao Duofu didn't care, but said with a hint of joy: "In the past, the third brother often loved to touch my head. But I don't like it, and I often get angry with my third brother because of it. But now. β
Li Qi didn't know what to say, so he said, "Yes! I used to like to touch Ah Meng's head like this. At this point, he was stupid.
Zhao Duofu was curious: "Who is Ah Meng?" β
"Who is Ah Meng?" Li Qi laughed dryly and said, "That's a great questionβthough, I thought we'd better have a birthday cake first." As he spoke, he picked up his knife and stood up, ready to cut the cake.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Duofu suddenly blocked in front, opened his hands, and said nervously: "What do you want to do?" β
Richie was taken aback. He put the knife away from himself, for fear of accidentally injuring Zhao Duofu, and said in astonishment: "Cut the cake, I'll do it, children can't play with knives." β
Zhao Duofu said: "Who-who said that he was going to cut the cake." β
"How can you eat it if you don't cut it?"
"I didn't say I wanted to eat it!"
Li Qi was surprised: "You don't eat? Why? Don't you like it? β
Zhao Duofu said: "You care about me, since you have given me this birthday cake, it is mine." β
Li Qi said: "I know. But. β
"It's mine."
"I didn't say it wasn't yours, but this cake will spoil if you don't eat it."
A trace of hesitation flashed in Zhao Duofu's eyes, and he insisted: "This is mine." β
Depend on! Li Qi scolded secretly and said, "But." β
"Mine."
Oops, I'm going to go crazy. Li Qi raised his hand and said quickly, "I'll say it again." I know this cake is yours, but if you don't eat this cake now, when it's bad, you will have diarrhea if you eat it again. β
Zhao Duofu said impatiently: "Okay." I see, you go out first. β
You do. Do I dare to go, in case you eat diarrhea, I have to carry this sin alone! Li Qi said: "Then you tell me first, what are you going to do with this cake." β
"I-I-I'm going to feed the fish, can't I?"
"Feed the fish?" Li Qi's face was a little embarrassed, and he took 10,000 steps back and said: "Now, this is what you said, if you don't eat tonight, then you have to feed the fish, and you don't have to eat it again." β
"You're really long-winded, hurry up and get out."
"That'sβthen I'm leaving."
"Hurry up, hurry up."
In this way, Li Qi was ruthlessly driven out by Zhao Duofu, but before leaving, he still ordered those maids to look at Zhao Duofu, if he didn't eat the cake tonight, then he must not eat it.
After the instructions, Li Qi returned to the imperial dining room.
Zuo Boqing smiled and asked, "How is it?" Does Jofu Deji like your birthday cake? β
Li Qi shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "Brother Zuo, I thought your question was a bit redundant. β
Where did Zuo Boqing think that Li Qi was kicked out, but he didn't have any doubts about Li Qi's cooking skills, nodded and said: "That's, that's, I was very surprised when I saw the birthday cake you made, presumably Emperor Roufu must be very happy." β
Li Qi waved his hand and said, "Brother Zuo, don't say it again, I will be proud." β
Zuo Boqing looked at him with a sassy face, but he really didn't want to say anything more, and said seriously: "There are about two months to go before the New Year, and the banquet at the New Year's Day this year, the emperor has already handed over to you to be in charge, should you also start preparing." β
Li Qi didn't say a word, just five fingers.
Zuo Boqing was stunned and said, "What does this mean? β
Li Qi snorted: "Brother Zuo, haven't you forgotten it, the emperor has limited five hundred yuan per person." β
Zuo Boqing said: "How can I forget this, so I am looking forward to it very much." β
Expect? You're looking forward to seeing my jokes. Li Qi said angrily: "Brother Zuo, you used to hold this banquet, it was all a huge amount of money, I can't remember how many kinds of dishes there are, of course, I have to start preparing a month or two in advance, but I just have the target of five hundred yuan per person, even if I break it down, how many dishes can I make for this five hundred yuan, what can I prepare a month in advance?" Daily necessities of life? β
Zuo Boqing was stunned and said, "What you said also has some truth. Seeing Li Qi's resentful face, he snickered a few times in his heart, and said no more.
Li Qi sighed, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I already have a plan." β
