The old shopkeeper saw Li Qi's sad expression, and seemed to have something unspeakable, and asked, "Little brother, I see that you are still young, why are you so sad?" ”

Li Qi closed his eyes and shook his head.

It's not that he doesn't want to say it, it's just that he doesn't know where to start, and even if he says it, I'm afraid no one will believe it.

In fact, he came from more than 900 years later, 25 years old this year, a top student of Tsinghua University, he has been working as a chef and administrative manager in a super five-star hotel at a young age, with an annual salary of more than one million. By the way, his boss is his father-in-law.

It's a pity that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck.

On the night of his wedding, he was instilled with several dead friends, but when he woke up, he found that he had come to the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, and he almost fainted without scaring him at that time.

Although in his time, there were indeed many people who longed to cross over, but he didn't want to do a thousand things, ten thousand people didn't want to, he didn't have a cave house, he still had a family, and a beautiful wife was waiting for him, which was definitely not what he wanted.

So he wanted to do the same, wanted to get drunk again, hoping to go back, he first found a pawnshop, gave the ancestral jade Buddha around his neck, and then used the silver to buy a jar of wine, and drank himself unconscious, but the goddess of "luck" did not favor him again, and when he woke up, he was still here.

He was not reconciled, so he exchanged all the remaining silver for wine, went to sleep when he was drunk, and continued to drink when he woke up, for several days, but still did not get what he wanted.

Seeing that Li Qi didn't want to say, the old shopkeeper didn't ask more, took out a small copper coin from his sleeve robe, handed it to Li Qi, and said, "Little brother, there are some silver taels here, you can take it as a coil, go home." ”

He saw that Li Qi had slept on the street for several days, and no relatives had asked him to go back, and with Li Qi's unique accent, he naturally thought that Li Qi was from out of town, so he wanted to send him away with some silver taels.

After all, he is a businessman who opens the door, and it is not always a way to have a drunk man lying in front of the door all day.

In fact, this old shopkeeper has a good heart, if he met those black-hearted shopkeepers, he would have asked someone to blow Li Qi away with a stick.

"Home? Which home to go back to? Where to go back? I --- I can't go back. The more Li Qi spoke, the more sad he became, and he actually cried when he said it.

The old shopkeeper saw that he was a man in his house and cried, and he cried very desolately, and he didn't know what to do for a while, but seeing him so pitiful, he couldn't help but think of the current situation of the Drunken Immortal Residence, and suddenly had a feeling of sympathy in his heart, sighed, and shouted softly: "Little brother, little brother, don't cry first." Well, if you don't dislike the simplicity of the shop, you can stay in the shop for a few days, and let's think about it slowly. ”

Li Qi listened, stopped crying, and was very moved in his heart, in his time, even if you were drunk and died on the side of the road, I believe that no one would go over to take a look, looked at the old man in front of him in a daze, and asked, "Uncle, why are you so good to me?" ”

The old shopkeeper smiled slightly and said, "Okay, don't ask so much, go in." ”

At this time, the sixth son was lying on the table sleepy, and suddenly saw the old shopkeeper and the drunk man walking in together, and stood up, opened his mouth wide, and said in surprise: "Uncle---? Why did you bring him in? ”

The old shopkeeper glared at the sixth son and said, "This is Li Qi Li Gongzi." You take Li Gongzi to the backyard to tidy up and change clothes, and I'll go to the kitchen and ask Master Zhou to make a few side dishes. ”

Li Qi smiled apologetically at the sixth son and said, "Excuse me." ”

What about the son? If you look like this, then I won't be a prince and a nobleman.

Liuzi pursed his lips and said angrily: "Li-Gong-son, let's go!" ”

The sixth son took Li Qi to a courtyard behind the Drunken Immortal Residence. The courtyard was not big or small, with seven or eight rooms in total, but it was very simple, and it seemed that it was for the guys who used to live in drunken idleness.

Li Qi followed the six sons to a small room on the far left, which was full of some usual bathing items. A wooden barrel, a scoop of water, a piece of linen cloth that I don't know how many people have used, and a lump of black things, I don't know what it is. Later, Li Qicai learned from Liuzi's mouth that this thing was called pancreas, which was used for bathing, and it should be similar to the soap of later generations.

Sweat! Can this also be considered a bathroom?

Richie's face was full of surprise and helplessness, and in his heart, it was a miscellaneous room at best

After a while, Li Qi took a shower and walked out, wearing a gray cloth gown, this gown was still left by the guys in the previous store, a little short, and with his short hair, it really looked a little nondescript, but it was a little similar to those in Hengdian.

When Li Qi returned to the hall, he saw the old shopkeeper and his six sons, as well as a bald and dirty old man, sitting on a table and chatting, and there were three bowls of side dishes on the table, a bowl of fried bamboo shoots, a bowl of fried peanuts, a bowl of shallots and tofu, and a bowl of white rice.

When the old shopkeeper saw Li Qi coming out, he hurriedly beckoned and shouted, "Little brother, come and sit down, the food is going to be cold." ”

Li Qi stepped forward with a smile, sat next to Liuzi, and said gratefully to the old shopkeeper: "Uncle Wu, thank you." ”

Just now, Li Qi took advantage of the time when the sixth son was boiling water and bathing for him, and asked him about it, it turned out that the old shopkeeper's surname was Wu, his name was Furong, and he was the shopkeeper of this store, and the original name of the sixth son was Wu Xiaoliu, who was the buddy of this store and Wu Furong's own nephew. In addition to the two uncles and nephews in this shop, there is also a chef Zhou, who is the chef in this shop, and he must be the old man sitting here now.

Wu Furong nodded with a smile, pointed to the bald old man next to him, and introduced: "This is the chef in our store, Master Zhou, these bowls of small dishes are all made by Master Zhou for you temporarily." ”

Chef?

Li Qi was slightly stunned, he was very sensitive to the title of 'chef', and subconsciously glanced at Master Zhou, seeing that he was at least in his sixties, his teeth were about to fall out, and he was very curious in his heart, this age was in his time, and he would have retired a long time ago.

Chef is a position with very high age requirements, such a large age, even if your body is tough, your sense of taste, touch, and agility will be greatly reduced, and the physical condition of the sixty-year-old man in this era can not be compared with Li Qi's era, the older he gets, the taste of the dishes will naturally decline, to put it bluntly, no hotel will invite an old man in his sixties and seventies to be a chef.

Having said that, Li Qi was still very grateful to the old man, and said with a smile: "Master Zhou, disturb your rest, the younger generation is really sorry." ”

Master Zhou saw that Li Qi's eyebrows were clear, his literary quality was polite, and he was also humble and polite when he spoke, and he suddenly felt good in his heart, and said with a happy smile: "What bother or not, eat it quickly, the food will not taste good if it is cold." ”

"Hmm!"

Li Qi nodded, thinking that he was not related to them, and it could even be said that he had never been masked, but they treated him so well, he was very moved, picked up the chopsticks, looked at the plates of small dishes in front of him, and a sense of hunger suddenly surged up, he thought that he seemed to have not eaten all day, and was just about to start, when he suddenly found that the three of them were looking at him, and there were no dishes and chopsticks in front of him, and he suddenly wondered: "Don't you eat?" ”

When Wu Xiaoliu heard this, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he said, "You can eat it yourself, my uncle and I have already eaten it." ”

Wu Furong also nodded and smiled: "Leave us alone, you can eat quickly." ”

"Oh!"

Li Qi was unstoppably hungry now, so he didn't say much, picked up the chopsticks and took a big mouthful of rice to his mouth, and then put a few pieces of bamboo shoots in his mouth, and after chewing a few bites, his brows wrinkled.

Wow! It's so unpalatable!

Li Qi was born in a family of chefs, and he has never eaten such an unpalatable dish in his life, if he hadn't known in advance that this was Master Zhou's kindness, he would have vomited it out a long time ago, lowered his head, closed his eyes, and pulled rice into his mouth vigorously.

When Master Zhou saw Li Qiguang eating and not eating vegetables, he was curious: "What?" Little brother, isn't this dish to your taste? ”

"Ahem, ahem!"

I'm really afraid of anything. Richie's heart was shocked, and he choked half to death.

"You eat slowly, and no one is robbing you, Liuzi, go and pour a cup of tea for Li Gongzi." Wu Furong instructed Wu Xiaoliu, who was snickering on the side.

After Li Qi took a sip of tea, he eased up, blushed, and said to Master Zhou: "Master Zhou, you are laughing, the younger generation can eat the dishes cooked by Master Zhou's own hands, it is really a blessing for three lives, but the younger generation is hungry now, so I want to eat a full meal first, and then come to taste Master Zhou's cooking skills." ”

This kid can really talk! Master Zhou smiled and said, "Okay, you can eat some rice to cushion your stomach first, but you have to eat all these dishes later." ”

Li Qi leaned and almost didn't fall off the chair, and his heart suddenly cried out in distress.

Eat them all? It's not going to kill me!
