Yesterday was busy all day, today Li Qi can finally sleep in a bright and beautiful beauty, anyway, there is no need to do business today!
After waking up, Li Qi first went to the kitchen.
At this time, the two brothers of the Chen family were holding rags and brooms, diligently cleaning the kitchen.
Last night, Li Qi had officially taken them into apprenticeship, and cleaning the kitchen had naturally become a compulsory course for them.
After all, even if Li Qi's cooking skills are good, he can't play alone, and he has to find a few helpers.
Although the Chen brothers and Wu Xiaoliu have no foundation, they are loyal and trustworthy.
Li Qi didn't want to repeat the mistake of the past, so he recruited a group of people from outside, and when he left the school, he was poached again.
That's more than worth the loss!
Anyway, what he has now is time, although the Chen family brothers may not be as talented as Wu Xiaoliu, but they are diligent enough, and Li Qi believes that they can also be diligent and can make up for their shortcomings.
"Brother Li!"
"Brother Li! You're here! ”
When the Chen brothers saw Li Qi walk in, they hurriedly put down their work and gave Li Qi a salute.
Li Qi nodded and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about me, go on." ”
Speaking of this, Li Qi suddenly noticed that there seemed to be one less person in the house, so he asked, "By the way, what about Xiao Liuzi?" ”
Chen Xiaozhu shook his head and said, "I don't know, I didn't see anyone else this morning, maybe I'm still sleeping." ”
Still sleeping?
Li Qi frowned slightly.
He's lazy, okay, but if his apprentice is lazy, he'll be very unhappy!
As soon as Chen Xiaozhu's voice fell, Wu Xiaoliu's voice sounded outside the door, "Who is saying bad things about me?" ”
Before the sound fell, Wu Xiaoliu swaggered in from outside the door, his face was dirty, and when he saw Li Qi, he immediately laughed and said, "Brother Li, you are up!" ”
Li Qi sneered: "Sixth Master, did you sleep well last night?" ”
Sixth Master?
Wu Xiaoliu said with a sad face: "Brother Li, don't scold me, I didn't sleep well last night." ”
Li Qi looked at his dirty face and wondered, "You were a thief last night?" ”
Wu Xiaoliu rolled his eyes and complained: "Brother Li, don't you know, you fried stinky tofu in my room all day yesterday, which made my room smell of stinky tofu everywhere, and even the futon and headrest were smelly, how could I sleep, so I got up early this morning to clean the room, and I have been busy until now." ”
"Well, this, Brother Li also knows that you have made a heavy contribution to the Drunken Immortal Residence, so you don't have to clean the kitchen today, go back and have a good rest!"
Li Qi had a strange look on his face, but he was already smiling in his heart.
When Wu Xiaoliu heard this, his face suddenly showed joy, and he winked proudly at the two Zhuzi brothers, and then smiled at Li Qi: "Brother Li, you are really good to me." ”
"It should, it should!"
Li Qiqiang held back a smile, and then asked Brother Zhuzi, "By the way, have you seen Uncle Wu." ”
"Oh, I just saw Shopkeeper Wu on the counter." Chen Xiaozhu responded.
"Okay, you guys are busy first, I'll go talk to Uncle Wu about something."
Speaking of this, Li Qi patted Wu Xiaoliu on the shoulder again and said, "You just go and rest, you have to do business tomorrow!" ”
"Hey!"
Out of the kitchen, Li Qi came directly to the counter and saw Wu Furong standing in front of the counter, crackling with an abacus.
"Uncle Wu!"
"Yo, Li Gongzi, you're up!"
Li Qi nodded, walked over to take a look, and asked, "Uncle Wu, what are you doing?" ”
Wu Furong smiled honestly: "I'm settling accounts, by the way, Li Gongzi, do you know how much we have earned in the past four days?" ”
Richie shook his head.
Li Qi has never looked at the accounts, after all, his goal is not to sell stinky tofu to make money, but he is not a fool, he still has a rough account in his heart.
Wu Furong's eyes widened, revealing an expression of surprise, and he said in a trembling voice: "Li Gongzi, we have earned nearly four hundred yuan in the past four days. Now there are six days left, and with the current momentum, it will not be difficult for Li Gongzi to earn a thousand yuan within 15 days. ”
"Oh!"
Wu Furong said so much, and Li Qi only responded flatly, without any expression on his face.
Wu Furong never thought that Li Qi would respond to him so blandly, and wondered: "Li Gongzi, why are you?" Is it unwell? ”
"Huh?"
Li Qi was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "Uncle Wu, you are too worried, my health is very good, but now is not the time to be happy, we must make persistent efforts." ”
"That's, that's!"
Wu Furong listened, and then realized that he seemed to be a little carried away, his old face turned red, and he nodded yes hurriedly.
Li Qi and Wu Furong chatted a few more words, and suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Shopkeeper Wu, is Shopkeeper Wu here?" A rooster-like voice sounded.
Wu Furong's face changed when he heard this, and he said in surprise: "Cai Laosan? What did he do? ”
Cai Laosan? Isn't he the butler of Jade Xuan?
Li Qi was overjoyed and surprised in his heart, and said to Wu Furong: "Uncle Wu, if Cai Laosan asks about me, you will say that I am out, remember, don't say that I am here." With that, he quietly sneaked back to the back room.
"Huh? Plum---! ”
Before Wu Furong could react, Li Qi had already slipped away, and he was very puzzled in his heart, muttering in his mouth: "How could he know that this Cai Laosan came to find him?" ”
"Shopkeeper Wu, shopkeeper Wu!"
At this time, Cai Laosan shouted a few more times.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
Wu Furong opened the door with a question mark in his stomach.
++++++++++++++++++++++
Li Qi quietly returned to his room, waved his fist with excitement on his face, and said to himself: "I didn't expect this old fox to lose his breath so quickly." It seems that those big officials yesterday still brought him a lot of shock! ”
A stick of incense time has passed.
"Why haven't you finished talking yet?"
Richie paced anxiously around the room, trying to sneak over several times to take a look, but finally endured it.
After another tea time, Li Qi finally couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, and was about to open the door to take a look.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside.
"Li Gongzi, Li Gongzi!"
It was Wu Furong's voice.
Li Qi hurriedly opened the door and couldn't wait to ask, "Uncle, why did Cai Laosan come to you?" ”
Wu Furong walked into the house, glanced at Li Qi suspiciously, and said, "He came to me to discuss the purchase of the store." ”
"Watts? Buying a store? ”
Li Qi opened his mouth wide and said in surprise: "Uncle Wu, you're not joking with me, are you?" ”
Wu Furong shook his head and said: "Naturally not, then Cai Laosan did come to me to discuss the purchase of the store, but the price he offered was different from the original." ”
"How much does he come out of?"
"Eight thousand kans!" Wu Furong made a gesture and said.
Li Qi frowned and asked, "Then how did you reply to him?" ”
Wu Furong shook his head and said, "I just told him to discuss it with his wife, and he will come back tomorrow." ”
Although Wu Furong knew that the Drunken Immortal Residence was determined not to sell it to others, he had always been cautious and was afraid of saying the wrong thing, so he wanted to come back and ask Li Qi what he thought first, after all, this Drunken Immortal Residence was now Li Qi in charge.
