Today is the day of the first birthday banquet, the fourth watch has just arrived, Li Qi has already climbed up from the bed, this time he is seriously dressed up, after all, this is a high-end banquet, face work still needs to be prepared.
When Li Qi thought that he was enough to charm thousands of girls, he came out of the room, and as soon as he went out, he saw Chen Anan walking over quickly. Because he was going to the Taishi Mansion with Li Qi today, he slept in the Qin Mansion last night, and Xiao Yu also slept in the Qin Mansion, because after all, the Drunken Immortal Residence was a room crowded by several people, and Xiao Yu was the director of the outfield today, so she had to rest enough.
As for Wu Xiaoliu and the others, Li Qi didn't bring one, and now there are already many cooks in Taishi Cai's mansion, and the kitchens of Wu Xiaoliu and the others are not as good as those cooks, isn't it humiliating to bring them over, besides, the Drunken Immortal Residence has to be open today.
When Chen Anan approached, Li Qi smiled slightly: "Anan, you didn't make a noise about Xiaoyu, right?" β
Chen Anan was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "No!" Didn't you tell me not to call her? β
"Didn't you two sleep in the same room?" Li Qi said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Chen Anan reacted immediately, blushed, and pleaded: "Brother Li, Xiaoyu and I are innocent, okay, you can let me go." β
Li Qi laughed, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's goβby the way, Anan, the sixth son seems to have taken a fancy to Xiaoyu recently, you have to pay attention." β
"Brother Li, don't fool me, Liuzi doesn't have the guts, he is only thick-skinned. has no skills, and no one Xiao Tao cares about him, let alone Xiao Yu. β
"Oh? According to your meaning, Xiao Tao is not as good as Xiao Yu? β
"That'sβthat's what you said, I didn't say that."
Li Qi's expression was stunned, and he was secretly surprised, this kid. When did you get so smart.
The two took advantage of the last night, chatting, and walked towards the gate. But as soon as he arrived in the front yard, he suddenly saw two dark shadows standing at the door, and Li Qi knew that one of them must be Mrs. After all, that plump figure can't be covered by the night, and the other one is naturally they talked about Xiao Tao just now.
After Li Qi left, he smiled and said, "Huh? Madame, get up and go to the hut. β
When Chen Anan heard this, he quickly lowered his head, and his body was trembling.
Mrs. Qin gave him a blank look and said, "I can't imagine that you are still thinking like this now, it seems that I really shouldn't come." β
Li Qi smiled and said, "Madame's kindness, Li Qi understands it, don't worry." Madam, this time I have experience, and I won't be like a crab roe banquet again. β
Mrs. Qin nodded and said, "It's good that you know, this time my father and Uncle Bai will also go, if you don't understand anything." You can ask them for help, and don't act arbitrarily. β
This lady really thinks too highly of those two old goods, this first birthday banquet is obviously a political banquet, whether the two of them dare to squeak. It's still a problem, ask them for help, I might as well go directly to Cai Lao.
But after all, this was Mrs. Qin's kindness, and Li Qi still nodded and thanked: "Thank you, Madame, I will remember." β
Mrs. Qin nodded and smiled, "Okay." Then hurry up. β
Li Qi hummed, and went out with Chen Anan, the two had just come to an intersection, and suddenly heard Bai Qiannuo's voice on the side, "Brother Li." β
Wow! It can't be a hallucination, right?
Li Qi turned his head to look, and saw a carriage parked at the intersection, it was Bai Qiannuo's carriage, he shook his head, smiled bitterly, and walked towards the carriage.
Bai Qiannuo also got out of the car.
"Qi Niang, why are you here?" Li Qi frowned.
Bai Qiannuo grinned and said, "I sneaked out." β
"Slipping out?"
Li Qi exclaimed: "Qi Niang, you were not stimulated by something and eloped with me." β
"Elopement?"
Bai Qiannuo was stupid, his face slammed, he turned red, and he stomped his feet and said, "Brother Li, what are you talking nonsense again?" β
"Huh? Am I mistaken? Richie looked embarrassed.
Bai Qiannuo glanced at him obliquely, suddenly rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother Li, can you take me to the first birthday banquet?" I also want to see your buffet banquet and Sister Feng's oil dance. β
It turned out that she wanted to go with me to the first birthday party.
Li Qi was curious: "Isn't your father going too, why don't you go with your father." β
Bai Qiannuo snorted: "He doesn't want to take me there." β
Sweat! My future father-in-law won't take you there, and if I take you there, won't I be determined to go against him, I can't do this.
Li Qi rolled his eyes, and suddenly smiled: "Qi Niang, you see that it is not yet bright today, I will take you there and let people see it, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, but if you want to go very much, there is someone who may be able to help you." β
Bai Qiannuo's eyes narrowed, his essence flashed, and he said happily: "I know, Brother Li, I'll go first, you pay attention to yourself, we'll see you in the evening." With that, she trotted back to the car.
Li Qi shook his head with a wry smile, and suddenly heard Chen Anan ask, "Brother Li, who is that person you are talking about?" β
Li Qi snorted angrily and said, "A hateful woman." β
After saying goodbye to Bai Qiannuo, Li Qi and Chen Anan came to the Taishi Mansion.
When they came to the kitchen, a hundred or so cooks were ready, and after a few words of advice, Li Qi asked them to get to work.
Li Qi prepared more than 50 kinds of dishes this time, cold, hot, soup, fruits, everything, how could he do it alone, so he simply handed it all over to other cooks, and he was on the side to guide, anyway, the recipes to be made, he had already taught them all some time ago, just some secret recipes for food, he did not disclose.
All the materials needed for this banquet had been prepared yesterday, but since the banquet was scheduled in the evening, it was a little too early to cook the dishes, and Li Qi instructed them to carve some materials to add beauty first.
After carving, it's time to prepare the cold dishes, which are the most distinctive part of the buffet.
Richie was busy wandering around the stoves. Suddenly, he smelled the fragrance of seaweed, and hurriedly asked, "Has the seaweed been roasted?" β
A cook said, "It's already baked." β
Li Qi hurriedly walked up to the cook, picked up a rectangular piece of seaweed, took a small bite, chewed it, and said, "Yes, it's baked like this." Remember, there's no negligence on this seaweed, you can keep an eye on me. β
Today, this seaweed is still a tribute. It's already less, if it weren't for Cai Jing, it is estimated that he wouldn't be able to get this seaweed.
The cook, of course, knew that. A vigorous nod of promise.
"Master Li, the time has come, isn't it time to prepare the broth?"
Li Qi glanced at the sky and nodded: "Well, but pay attention to the heat, don't desert me." β
The stock can also be said to be part of the seasoning, of course, it has to be cooked first.
One morning, Li Qi spent the busy time, and at noon everyone ate the godmother casually, and then started to work again.
"Is the pastry ready?" Richie called the shots.
"Ready."
"That's fine. Let's go into the oven. Also, is the rice cooked, it's cooked, and wrap it in seaweed. β
"Master Li, the fish fillet is ready."
"Okay. Leave that one alone, just put it away, you go and mix the sauce for me, remember, the sauce should be placed with the food, so as not to mess up. β
"Hmm. I know. β
Unconsciously, the day is moving westward.
Li Qi knew that after looking at the hour, he thought that the guests should be arriving soon, and he didn't know how Xiaoyu was preparing.
After thinking about it, he still couldn't rest assured, so he instructed a few leading cooks to say a few words, and then rushed to the gate.
At this time, a fifty-meter-long red carpet has been laid out in front of the gate, and there are ten close-fitting maids in red clothes similar to cheongsams standing on the side of the red carpet, with their hands in front of their abdomen, Xiao Yu and Cai Yong are commanding there, after all, Xiao Yu is still not knowledgeable, and he doesn't even know a sesame petty official, and any one who comes today is a member of the imperial court, so there must be a senior housekeeper like Cai Yong to press the formation there.
Li Qi looked around for a while, and saw that there was no problem, so he didn't go over, just stood in the distance and watched, in fact, he came here for another purpose, that is, to see if he would see some historical acquaintances later.
After a while, the first guest finally arrived, and although it was a little early, it was really an acquaintance.
When Li Qi saw this person, he almost stopped laughing.
This person is none other than Gao Yanei.
Gao Yanei is wearing a bright one today, wearing a purple soft gauze scarf, wearing a red robe, and a big red flower obliquely inserted on his sideburns. However, he didn't bring any idlers with him today, just alone.
As soon as Gao Yanei saw the red carpet, everyone was stupid, and he was about to take a detour, but fortunately, a maid walked over in time and invited him to go this way.
Cai Yong bowed to him and said a few words.
Gao Yanei saluted Cai Yong back, looked at the dozens of maids on the left and right, with a smile on his face, accompanied by beautiful women, he strode on the red carpet with a proud face.
Seeing this, Li Qi shook his head with a smile, but he didn't want to meet Gao Yanei, seeing that Gao Yanei had already walked through the red carpet and was just about to hide, who expected Gao Yanei to see him at a glance, and hurriedly waved and shouted, "Li Qi." As he spoke, he waved his hand to the maid beside him, motioned for her to stand down, and then ran towards Richie.
Li Qi was depressed in his heart, squeezed out a smile on his face, and beckoned to Gao Yanei: "Yanei, why are you here so early." β
Gao Yanei sighed and said, "I don't have anything to do, so I want to come and see it as soon as possible." β
Li Qi said tentatively: "Then your father, why don't you come with him?" β
"My dad is still early, I'm too lazy to wait." Gao Yanei snorted.
Li Qi nodded, and suddenly saw another guest arrive, about forty, about one meter seven tall, wearing a square hat, wearing a dark gray robe, sharp edges and corners, bronzed skin, with a hooligan air between his eyebrows, and his body looked quite sturdy.
"Yanai, do you know who this person is?" Li Qi asked curiously.
Gao Yanei said proudly: "Of course I know, he is my Uncle Zhu, a single name, who has just been promoted recently, and is now a scholar of the Straight Secret Pavilion." β
Li Qi's eyes narrowed, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, Zhu Mian, hum, finally saw another big traitor of one of the six thieves, by the way, it seems that the La's uprising is coming at him, I didn't expect that as soon as this Fang La's hanging, he will be an official again, Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji, you have even done such a bad job of faΓ§ade skills, it seems that you are really not an emperor.
