Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In fact, Li Qi himself didn't expect this box of lunches to sell so well, he just wanted to make more money. (Please search for the fastest novel website!)
As everyone knows, the appearance of his lunch box is really just right, because now it is not as good as before, seven or eight people do a thing, and it takes one or two hours to eat a meal, with the large-scale reduction of officials in the imperial court, and the official popularization of the new law, the officials of the guide zhì run outside all day long, where is there still time to eat delicious food leisurely, just when Zui Xianju launched the lunch series, the taste is also very special, so the lunch box became popular all of a sudden.
The times can make heroes, and they can also make box lunches!
"Richie, you're here!"
As soon as Wu Furong saw Li Qi coming, he hurriedly came out of the counter, full of spring breeze!
Li Qi smiled: "How's the business?" β
Wu Furong smiled and said: "Needless to say, you are in charge personally, can this business be bad." β
He is actually not greedy, no matter how much he earns, or how little he earns, only there are many customers, he is happy when he looks at it.
Li Qi smiled and nodded, and suddenly heard someone inside shouting, "Ah! Richie is here, come here. β
I think with my ass and I know that it is Gao Yanai who shouts.
Li Qi raised his hand, signaled that he would pass, and said in a low voice: "How many of them in Gao Ya don't have credit, right?" β
Wu Furong was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "No." β
"That's good."
Li Qi sighed softly, in the past, they were on credit in Gao Ya, but he didn't care, if anyone dared to take credit now, then he would definitely take a kitchen knife to ask for debts.
Wu Furong said again: "Oh, the master is in the private room above. β
"Really? Okay, I'll take a look at it later. β
Li Qi said a few more words to Wu Furong, and walked towards the group of people in Gao Yanei.
Due to the launch of the new products of Drunken Immortal Residence, they came here for breakfast, and they all came in groups, Zhou Hua and Xu Fei came, because there were too many people. So they simply put the two tables together, and saw all kinds of pastries on the table, the most conspicuous of which was the golden fritter.
It's a bandit, but I like it. Li Qi walked over and said with a smile: "How are you eating?" β
Gao Yanei wiped his mouth and said excitedly: "Li Qi, your fritters are delicious, I said before, you were born a cook, and it would be too wasteful to be an official." β
This idiot. Praise people don't boast. Li Qi gritted his teeth and smiled: "Let you go, will you?" β
Gao Yanei hehe, pointed at Li Qi with his finger and said, "Li Qi, you are so cunning." β
Li Qi was stunned and said, "What do you mean?" β
Gao Yanei ha: "Ben Yanei is going to go out of the mountain to do business now, and this time out of the horse, it will rob your business, are you afraid that Ben Yanei will steal your limelight, so you will lure this Yanei to become an official, and Ben Yanei will not be fooled by you." β
Day. You're ruthless. Li Qi remembered that he was cut off by Gao Yanei a few days ago, and gritted his teeth and smiled: "Yanei is really funny." β
Chai Cong didn't know this time. Hurriedly asked, "What else is there?" Yanai, talk to me and others. β
Gao Yanei was even more proud, shook his head and said angrily: "This is a secret, and it can't be used by outsiders." β
It seems that this second thing is not hopelessly stupid. Li Qi secretly despised Gao Yanei. Then he said: "You eat first, I'll go up and say hello to the Taishi, remember to pay." β
With that, he went to the third floor. As soon as I came to the door of the heavenly and earthly box, I heard the sound of children frolicking inside, and I thought to myself. is worthy of Cai Lao, knowing that I am poor now, and knowing that I led the whole family to come to cheer. knocked on the door a few times, and soon the door opened from the inside, only to see Cai Yong standing in front of the door, seeing that it was Li Qi, and said, "Master, the privy envoy is here." β
"Oh, Richie is here, come in quickly."
"Golden Knife Chef, Golden Knife Chef - your bubble tea is delicious."
"We all love it."
As soon as Li Qi walked in, several of Cai Jing's great-grandsons pounced and shouted loudly.
Cai Jing smiled and said to Cai Yong: "Yongzi, you take them to eat next door." β
"Yes."
After the group of troublemakers left, Cai Jing stretched out his hand and said, "Hurry up and sit down." Then he said: "Li Qi, you are really capable!" β
Li Qi was curious: "Why did the Taishi say that?" β
Cai Jing said: "Since the old man Zhishi, he has almost never gone out, and he doesn't want to go out, for fear of encountering some troubles, but this time you are drunk in the immortal residence, the old man will not come out." Let's just say that you have this rice ball, just bite down, it is very sweet, soft and delicious, and even more absolutely, it is also wrapped in fritters, crispy and delicious, but a small rice ball is contained, sweet and salty, tender and crispy, crunchy, too gluttonous, and this fritters, if you eat alone, the old man is enough for a bite, but with this soy milk, it is really wonderful, absolutely, amazing. As for what bubble tea, several of my precious grandchildren are also very fond of it. Ha ha! β
He is worthy of being the first gourmand in the Great Song Dynasty! Li Qi smiled: "The master has won the award, but this fritter." β
Cai Jing hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Tian Qi has already said it, the old man is just a taste." β
"That's good, that's good."
Suddenly, I heard Gao Yanei downstairs shouting: "Daddy, why are you here?" β
Li Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "Captain? β
He has been back for so long, and he has always wanted to visit the Taiwei Mansion, but unfortunately he has not been able to find it.
Cai Jing said angrily: "He wanted to ask the old man to collect debts." β
"Debt collection?"
Li Qi gossiped and said, "Is the Taiwei short of money lately?" β
Cai Jing glanced at Li Qi with a smile, sold Guanzi, and said, "You'll find out later." β
After a while, Gao Yu entered the house, full of energy, walking like flying, worthy of being a sportsman. When he saw Li Qi, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Li Qi got up and arched his hand: "Li Qi has seen the captain. β
Gao Yu saw that Li Qiwu was respectful to him, a flash of praise flashed in his eyes, and said secretly, this kid is really different, no wonder he can climb to such a high position, we are not wronged if we lose to him!
In fact, he is still more open-minded, in his opinion, he is already lucky if he does not lose his life and family wealth, and let it drift away with the wind. Now he is concentrating on the Keju competition, but he is also enjoying it, which can be said to be a blessing in disguise, hehe: "Li Qi, you have been back for so long, and you don't go to visit me, an old man." β
Li Qi hurriedly said: "The junior has always wanted to visit the captain, but it's a pity that he has been entangled in trivial matters recently, and I hope the captain will forgive me." β
"Forgive me or something, I'll see you, you can do this meal." Gao Yu laughed.
Day. Brother Yu, I'd rather you don't forgive me. You're going to kill the rhythm! Li Qi only felt a heart-piercing pain, a little tears flashed in the corners of his eyes, and smiled reluctantly: "This is as it should be, as it should be." β
After the two sat down again, Gao Yu said eagerly to Cai Jing: "Taishi, can you bring the baby?" β
Cai Jing looked at Gao Yu strangely and said, "If you don't bring it, how dare the old man ask you out for morning tea." As he spoke, he patted a purple and red wood box on the table with his hand, and then picked it up and handed it to Gao Yu.
"Thank you so much, Master Tai for cutting love."
Between words. Gao Yu had already taken it, and when he opened it, it turned out to be a pair of white jade lions, looking like they were bowing. Vivid, the color and texture are superior, even Li Qi, who doesn't know much about jade, is amazed in his heart. This pair of jade lions is really ingenious! "Wow! This is truly superb! β
Cai Jing sighed: "This pair of white jade lions was given by someone else on the old man's seventieth birthday, and he took a fancy to it at that time. I always wanted to spend money to buy it back, but the old man also liked it tightly, and he couldn't bear to give it up, so he didn't expect to let him succeed in the end, but Li Qi, you also have a part in this matter. β
Do I have a share too? Li Qi said happily: "Do I also get half of it?" β
Gao Yu covered the wooden box and said, "Of course not." β
Cai Jing haha: "If you want to calculate it like this, you should help the old man pay half of it." β
Depend on! You two deliberately joined forces to trap me today. Li Qi scolded secretly, but said: "Taishi said that he was laughing, I don't know anything, where to start with this half." β
Cai Jing said: "Here's the thing, a few days ago, the Taiwei came to visit the old man in the mansion and inadvertently talked about you. Taiwei said at the time, the first thing you do when you become a privy envoy is definitely to delegate power, even if Bai Qiniang is appointed as an economic envoy, this is far from enough, you will definitely try your best to hand over power to Qin Hui. If this is something else, the old man also thinks it is possible, but if this new law is used, the old man thinks that you will not hand it over lightly, after all, you alone can play the new law in the court, we argued for a long time, so we made a bet, if the old man loses, he will give him this pair of white jade lions, if the Taiwei loses, he will donate 3,000 to my Taishi Academy, and the result is obviously that the Taiwei won. β
These two old foxes are really powerful, but gambling on this, isn't it a bit too bullying! Li Qi looked at Gao Yu in surprise and said, "Captain, how did you guess that I would hand over the new law?" β
Gao Yu said: "I have been in charge of the three yas for so many years, and I more or less understand some of the stakes, the emperor let you take charge of the Privy Council, in fact, it has destroyed the balance between the three yas and the Privy Council, which is very rare in my dynasty, I think the emperor must have more important tasks to you, and the new law can not help but involve internal affairs, but also involve finance, once the new law begins to be fully implemented, then it is equivalent to you alone to empty the three provinces, three divisions, although you gave up the Bureau of Commerce, but Bai Qi Niang is your wife after all, And the current emperor is not a mediocre monarch like Empress Li, you are so smart, you must understand the stakes. β
It seems that Brother Yu has taken the advantages of Mingzhe's self-preservation to the extreme. Li Qi has to be convinced.
Gao Yu said again: "But this is just the three of us chatting, nothing else, you just listen." β
Li Qi nodded again and again: "I understand this, in fact, there are still many questions for the younger generations to ask for advice in this regard." He really thought so in his heart, after all, Cai Jing and Gao Yu were both officials, even if they chatted with them, for him, they would make a profit and not lose money.
Cai Jing said, "Then you can make some more food to attract me to come here." β
Gao Yu ha: "That's, that's, it's not delicious!" β
Li Qi patted his chest and said, "That's certain, these two can rest assured." β
"Then we'll see."
Cai Jing laughed, took a sip of mutton soup, and said: "But Li Qi, there is one thing I still have to remind you, although it is a good move for you to let Bai Qiniang serve as an economic envoy, but this also highlights your current predicament." β
Li Qi frowned and said, "What does the master mean?" β
Cai Jing Zhengse said: "You have to understand one thing, above the court, it won't work alone. In the past, there was an old man and a captain, so you went alone, but it seemed more flexible, but now it is different, you have become the pillar of my Great Song Dynasty, and you must cultivate your own power, but unfortunately you are not like our Cai family and Bai family, there is a huge family support, and you don't want to be like Su Shi and Zhao Tingzhi, there are thousands of protΓ©gΓ©s, and in your Li family, a Bai Qi Niang is already your limit, and you can't find a second person, but she is a woman after all, and at most she can only ensure that the Commerce Bureau does not lose it, which is far from enough, Although it is a way to protect oneself, the most able person in a high position to protect himself is power. β
Gao Yu suddenly said: "Although what Taishi said is correct, I have a different opinion. β
Cai Jing said: "I wish to hear the high opinion of Taiwei." β
"Master, don't scold me, in front of you, but it's just an axe." Gao Yu smiled bitterly, and then said: "I think Bai Qi Niang's role is far more than that, although she is your wife, but after all, it is two people, and she is still surnamed Bai, the relationship is very delicate, with her as the economic envoy, you have already done decentralization, but you can't say that you are completely letting go, this kind of power is the safest way."
Just like now, everyone outside is talking about Qin Hui and Bai Qi Niang, originally these should belong to you, but if it is really up to you, then the limelight will be stronger than them, after all, you are coming back with great merit, and you may even cover up anyone, this is not a good thing for the courtiers, this limelight is still not good, but there are few who can do this, however, what the Taishi said is also right, you still have to establish your own power, but there is no suitable candidate in your family, And you don't have a protΓ©gΓ©, which can't be done overnight, but you don't have to rush it. β
He is different from Cai Jing's political philosophy, Cai Jing pursues supreme power, and he is relatively easy to be satisfied with this, as long as he is not bullied.
Cai Jing nodded, "Taiwei is reasonable, the old man didn't handle it well, so he was given a master, and you can do it at such a young age, it's really commendable."
My heat has not yet reached this point, this is all my mother-in-law's idea, if it were not for this, I may really be in a hurry to ask the emperor to fully promote the new law. Li Qi sighed secretly, he felt as if he had no clothes in front of this old man, and arched his hand: "Thank you two for your kind words, Li Qi has been taught." β
