Fan Shaobai's appearance caught most of them unexpectedly, and they whispered together in twos and threes. Now Fan Lou is in a very embarrassing situation, although it is still known as the first restaurant in Bianjing, but the business is not as good as before, Fan Zheng's death, Zhang Chun'er's departure, this qiΔ“ has undoubtedly caused great harm to Fan Lou, thanks to his tens of thousands of catties of wine koji, otherwise, Fan Lou may have embarked on the old road of drunken immortal residence.

"Yanei, Chai Guanjin, Hong Gongzi, Young Prince, please."

Zhang Chun'er is indeed very good at doing it, and personally welcomed the four little sons upstairs, even if Fan Shaobai has been silent, but the smile on her face is still the same. When others saw it, they praised her as a woman who values love and righteousness.

When Li Qi and Cai Minde heard these praises, they couldn't help but shake their heads and smile bitterly.

"Brother Li (Li Qi)."

After Gao Yanei saw Li Qi, he waved his hand at Zhang Chun'er and said disdainfully: "Zhang Niangzi, you are busy, you can go." ”

"The hospitality is not good, please forgive me and the three sons."

Zhang Chun'er bowed, and then went downstairs. Fan Shaobai glanced at her back, snorted lightly, and then walked towards Li Qi's side.

Jijin greeted each other. Li Qi smiled bitterly at Gao Yanei: "Why are you here too?" ”

Gao Yanei said dissatisfiedly: "What are you talking about, can't we come here to eat?" ”

Li Qiqian smiled: "I didn't say no." It's just that don't you think this meal is too expensive, and you have to give gifts, and you have to give money to eat later, so it's better to go to Drunken Xianju or Fan Lou to eat. ”

Cai Minde listened, and broke out in a cold sweat, this Li Gongzi is still thick-skinned enough, and he is openly robbing the business of being entered into the store, I am afraid that the whole capital will be done by him.

Gao Yanei rolled his eyes and said: "We are not very familiar with Zhang Chun'er, and she didn't send us a post, so we want to give gifts." ”

Li Qi was surprised: "But I just heard it." ”

Hong Yaojiu said: "That's what Shaobai prepared, let's just help him get it, who knows how the housekeeper of this golden building does things, and it's really shameless to report our white spoon name." ”

Gao Yanei calmly analyzed: "I think this chun'er wants to use our white spoon reputation to strengthen his own fame." ”

Hong Yaojiu nodded and said, "Yes, yes, what my brother said is reasonable." ”

cāo! This group of scum is shameless when they get cheap and sell well. Li Qi expressed strong contempt for these three little boys.

Hong Yaojiu asked, "Brother Li, are you ready for the Four Kingdoms Banquet?" ”

Li Qi said: "It's almost, why do you ask this?" ”

Gao Yanei preemptively said: "He wants you to make a little bit for him to try first, and he can't go to the Four Kingdoms Banquet." ”

Hong Yaojiu nodded vigorously.

Li Qi shook his head and said: "No, if you want to taste it, you have to wait until the Four Kingdoms Banquet is over, and I will make it for you to taste, but not now." ”

Hong Yaojiu was slightly disappointed in his heart, nodded and said, "Then Brother Li, don't lose your words, after the Four Kingdoms Banquet, you must make it for me to taste." ”

"Alright, alright, you must be indispensable."

Li Qi waved his hand, made another gesture of please, and said with a smile: "Sit down, you have to give face to the east today." ”

Cai Minde listened, and he only smiled bitterly in his heart, these are all masters who eat and don't spit out bones, it seems that it is difficult for him to get out of the whole body today.

Fan Shaobai laughed, and arched his hand towards Cai Minde: "Then dare to be kind, Shaobai will thank you first." ”

Although he is very disgusted with Cai Minde, but now that Fan Lou is in a difficult moment, he doesn't dare to be as arrogant as before, one more friend means one less enemy, he still understands this truth.

Fan Shaobai's attitude suddenly changed, Cai Minde was still stunned, but the old jiān cunning he quickly understood, and smiled back: "Where, where, Fan Gongzi is too polite, please." ”

Hong Yaojiu said hehehehe: "I didn't expect to save all the money for this meal, this trip can be regarded as the right one." ”

Cai Minde laughed and said: "Hong Gongzi has seen outside, I can invite the fourth little boy to appreciate his face, that is my Cai's blessing, please sit down quickly." ”

A few times into the window table to sit down, Hong Yaojiu is a small wine jar that does not know what politeness is, this dish has not yet started, he ordered the bartender to serve wine, of course, it must be the best point.

Li Qi really pinched a cold sweat for Cai Minde in his heart, leaned his head over, and whispered: "Outside, I'm afraid you really have to go back later." ”

It's not for you. Cai Minde complained secretly in his heart, and half-jokingly: "It's too late for you to say it, I've already asked Xiao San to go back and get it." ”

Li Qi said: "The staff is really far-sighted, Li Qi admires, admires." ”

Cai Minde smiled and didn't say anything more.

Chai Cong suddenly asked, "Li Qi, when will our White Spoon Bar be closed?" ”

Gao Ya said: "Yes, I don't go to the bar now, and my whole body is itching." ”

You have so many concubines, don't you just pass the night after clearing the customs? Li Qi laughed: "Don't worry, it's fun to go to the bar in this big cold place, and after the fireplace is ready, you can also have a good time there." ”

Hong Yaojiu said curiously: "Brother Li, is your fireplace really magical?" ”

Gao Yanei said: "Li Qi is still very good at doing these things, I have a lot of confidence in him, I won't tell you, just in the second day of the bar, I have asked the carpenter to help me get a few fireplaces at home, but unfortunately my father is not knowledgeable, he refuses to get it, I got two in my own room, I also asked the carpenter how long it will take to get it done, he said that it originally took more than ten ri, but due to this heavy snow, our white spoon casino and Taishi's college have to stop work, and the start is sufficient, it should be completed in two ri." ”

Depend on! This guy is competing for public favoritism, and Nima's bar hasn't been done yet, so you take care of yourself. Li Qi glared at Gao Yanei angrily.

Fan Shaobai smiled: "But Master Li, your fireplace is really weird, I thought it was just a few stoves, but I didn't expect such a big movement, and I had to use bricks to reinforce the inner wall, fortunately there are two or three places, otherwise I have to tear down the shop." ”

Li Qi laughed and said: "Don't be annoyed Fan Gongzi, when this fireplace comes out, you will know that this qiΔ“ is worth it." ”

Hong Yaojiu's eyes rolled and said, "Then I will also get it at home, and I will find a carpenter in the future." ”

Chai Cong smiled slightly: "Our four little sons have always been of the same mind, since you have all done it, if I don't do it, it will really be too much." ”

ri。 These four guys are really more shameless than the other. Li Qi hurriedly vaccinated and said: "You have to make a fireplace, I have no objection, but there is a sentence I have to say in front, we can't delay the project of our bar, everything must be the overall situation." ”

Hong Yaojiu said with a grin: "This is from our province." ”

Cai Minde glanced at them a few times, with a hint of confusion in his eyes, the first few bars were closed, which also caused a lot of movement in the capital, he naturally knew and heard the name fireplace, but he didn't know much about the usefulness of this fireplace. Curious: "Li Gongzi, what is the purpose of this fireplace?" ”

Li Qi smiled: "It's useless, it's just for heating." ”

It's not a big deal? Now all restaurants have a headache for this heavy snow, if there is a way to ward off the cold, it can be compared to thousands of delicious wine and delicacies. Cai Minde was itchy when he heard it, but he also knew that Li Qi would definitely not help to do it, and thought to himself, it seems that he has to ask Xiao San to pay attention to this matter.

Just then, several bartenders brought the wine. smiled and said, "A few guest officers, this is the wine you want." ”

Richie asked, "What's the name of your wine?" ”

"Oh, there are two kinds of wine here, one is called Snow Grape and the other is called Yuexiang Wine, all of which are the latest wines made by our Jinlou."

Chai Cong nodded slightly and said, "Snow grapes, moon fragrant wine, this name is also vulgar and elegant." ”

The bartender took out a few more menus and handed them over, saying, "This is the menu of the small shop, and I would like to ask you to take a look." ”

Li Qi looked around and saw that the bartenders had begun to introduce the menu to the guests. Smiling slightly, I took a menu and looked at it, and the first one was written 'Golden Three Treasures, Ten Runs'. The price of this dish can be said to be too high, although each of Richie's three dishes is several times more expensive than this, but it is almost not in point, that is, it is hung there as a sign. Curious: "What kind of dish is this Golden Three Treasures?" Why is land expensive? ”

The bartender replied: "Actually, this golden three treasures is the collective name of the three dishes, please look down, this first dish is our host's signature dish 'Golden Jade Mantang', the second is Master Guda's 'Lantern Shadow Beef', and the third is 'Dongpo Cuttlefish'." Jinyu Mantang, Wuguan, Dengying Beef, Siguan, Dongpo cuttlefish, Sanguan, and three dishes together are a total of 12 Guan, but if the guest officer orders this golden three treasures, it only needs 10 Guan, which can save two Guan. ”

When Fan Shaobai heard the golden jade hall, his eyes couldn't help but flash a touch of resentment, you must know that this dish was originally their Fan Lou's signature dish, but now it has become the signature dish of Jin Lou, just this dish, I don't know how many old customers I have to snatch away from Fan Lou.

cāo! I really underestimated this chun, and I could think of this kind of promotion. Li Qi was secretly surprised in his heart, but his face did not show a sΓ¨, and said to Cai Minde: "Outside, how about we try this Golden Three Treasures?" ”

Cai Minde naturally understood the reason, and said with a smile: "Cai really has this intention." After a pause, he said to the four little boys: "What do the sons want to eat?" ”

"I'll come."

Gao Yanai said crisply: "You can just have one of the ten most expensive dishes in your store." ”

ri。 You don't care too much about Cai Lao Fox's feelings. Li Qi shook his head with a wry smile. Cai Minde was very happy and said, "Let's go on like this." ”

"Yes. A few guest officers, please wait. ”

The bartender bowed his head and left.

"Wow! These snow grapes are so special, they are so delicious! Hong Yaojiu suddenly exclaimed, it turned out that when he was ordering, he had already started to drink himself.

The crowd looked at Hong Yaojiu one after another. Gao Yanei said curiously: "Xiao Jiu, what's so special about this wine?" ”

Hong Yaojiu smashed it a few times, and said: "This snow grape is a bit similar to our white spoon bombardment wine, but it is just the opposite, when you first enter it, it feels cold and cold, but after the stomach, it is warm and baked, tsk, it is really delicious." ”

"Is there such a god?"

Gao Yanei seemed to be a little disbelieving, and immediately poured himself a glass. Except for Li Qi, the rest of them also poured a glass for themselves, and Ma Qiao's guy didn't have the consciousness of being an entourage at all, so he quietly took a pot of wine, hid on the side and drank it by himself, and the more he drank, the happier he became.

Gao Yanei just took a small sip, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed: "Strange, strange." ”

Cai Minde frowned and said, "Yes, this wine is indeed very special. ”

Richie wondered, "What the hell are you talking about?" ”

Cai Minde explained: "Li Gongzi, you have to taste this wine, it's really amazing, Hong Gongzi said that this wine has a sense of ice, in fact, it is not, I think it should be said to be a taste, in fact, this wine is not ice at all, but it feels a little cold." Generally, when it is hot, we also like to drink the wine after it has been chilled, but the taste and aroma of the chilled wine will be slightly affected, but this wine is very different, and the taste is very mellow. ”

Gao Yanei nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, yes, what the staff said is really right." But how exactly is this wine made? ”

At this time, there were also exclamations on the table next to him, and he didn't need to look to know that it must be because of this snow grape.

Cai Minde shook his head and said, "I don't know about this." After a pause, he said to Li Qi again: "Li Gongzi can brew that unparalleled wine, and he will definitely be able to taste the reason for it." ”

Boom.

Zhongjin suddenly focused all his attention on Li Qi.

Li Qi was puzzled: "But I don't drink." ”

Cai Minde hurriedly said: "Hey, Li Gongzi, who has become a big thing, when he is not informal, has Li Gongzi never tasted it at all when he brewed a peerless brew?" ”

That's just as well. Li Qi nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll taste this snow grape." ”

Hong Yaojiu immediately poured him a glass. Li Qi took the wine glass and took a sip, and sure enough, as they said, first ice and then warm, mellow and delicious, I am afraid it is comparable to the unequaled below, of course, the unequaled Bi Jing is not a kind of wine, the taste is diverse, so in real comparison, it is still the advantage of the unequaled, and the peerless unequaled has not yet come out.

Cai Minde asked, "Li Gongzi, have you tasted it?" ”

Li Qi was slightly stunned and nodded.

Gao Yanei hurriedly said: "Then you can say it quickly." ”

Li Qizheng said: "Actually, the key point of this wine, Zhang Niangzi has already sued us." ”

Fan Shaobai frowned and said, "How do you say this?" ”

"The key is in the word 'snow grapes'."

Li Qi sighed and explained: "If I am not mistaken, the grapes he uses to make this wine are not grapes from our Central Plains, but from the north. The north is cold, there is heavy snow in August in some places, and it is the month of grape harvest, they must take advantage of the heavy snow to harvest the grapes, after a simple treatment, directly wine, because the grapes themselves have a chill, so the wine is just like the ice, and the wine has the effect of warming, this contrast, the effect is more obvious. ”

When the crowd listened, they suddenly realized and nodded frequently.

Cai Minde arched his hand and said: "Li Gongzi is really well-informed, and Cai admires it." ”

Li Qi shook his head and said: "Where, where, I just guess casually, as for whether this is the case or not, it is not certain." ”

Fan Shaobai frowned and said, "If it is really as you say, then didn't he transport this wine from the north?" ”

"I guess so."

"But now that the north is full of smoke, who has the ability to transport wine here."

Cai Minde's eyes flashed, could it be that the buyer behind the scenes came from the north?

The corners of Li Qi's mouth showed a touch of coldness, and said, "I don't know about this, you have to ask Mrs. Zhang." ”

Fan Shaobai snorted: "How could she sue us." ”

At this moment, a strong fragrance suddenly came. When everyone smelled the incense, it turned out that Hong Yaojiu had already uncovered the moon fragrance wine.

Chai Cong exclaimed: "Wow! This wine is so fragrant. ”

Li Qi said: "It's the moon flower." ”

Cai Minde nodded and said: "Yes, it seems that this wine is made from Yueji flowers, but we have also made wine with flowers, but the fragrance is not so strong, I think she must have added some special spices to it." ”

After only a while, the entire Jinlou was shrouded in this fragrance, and even the outside line stopped moving, standing in front of the door and enjoying this fragrance, it was really ten miles of fragrance.

Li Qi's face became more and more solemn, and this fragrance is undoubtedly the best and most direct advertisement.

Hong Yaojiu sighed: "This fragrance is really comparable to the smell of stinky tofu, and I don't know which one is more powerful." ”

Li Qi half-jokingly said: "Xiao Jiu is right, if we knew this was the case, we should have set up dozens of stinky tofu stalls around us to compete with him." ”

Cai Minde laughed and said, "This is a good note. ”

Gao Yanei took a sip, and felt the aroma attacking, as if there was a beauty hidden in the wine, which was very suitable for his taste, and said: "Mmmm, this wine is really sweet, the stomach is fragrant when you drink it, and the farts that will be released later must be fragrant." ”

Everyone listened, looked at each other, and they all smiled bitterly.

Obviously, these two wines have caused a lot of repercussions, and the guests are also very satisfied with this, but the rest of their peers are all sad.

After a while, with a burst of hot aroma, I saw a female bartender walking out with one delicacy after another.

This first is the "Dongpo cuttlefish" named after Mr. Dongpo, only these four words are very pleasing to the gentleman, you must know that the disciples of Sumen are all over the world.

When the bartender brought the dish to the table, he saw that the plate was a dark red sΓ¨ inkstone-shaped object, and there were some green onions and vermicelli on the side. Hong Yaojiu exclaimed, "Huh? What an inkstone? ”

Li Qi glanced at him and said with a smile: "What inkstone, this is just the appearance of making a fish into an inkstone." ”

"But why do you do this?"

Chai Cong smiled: "I know this." ”

"Tell me, why is that?"

Chai Cong smiled slightly, and said: "Actually, this dish has a story, this dish first originated in Sichuan, it was little known at that time, and it was not until Su University scholars went to Lingyun Temple to study, it was quite famous, it is said that because Su University scholars often go to Lingyun Rock to wash inkstones, the fish in the river eat their ink, and the skin is thick and black like ink." Therefore, they called it 'Dongpo cuttlefish', but Zhang Niangzi was ingenious and made this fish into an inkstone shape, which is really wonderful. ”

Dog's, Jingran used Su Dongpo as a disguise, and didn't give endorsement fees, it's really shameful, it seems that Lao Tzu will have to make a dish named after Qingzhao next time. Li Qi felt indignant for Su Dongpo in his heart.

Cai Minde sighed: "Based on this story alone, the taste of this dish is no longer important. "His heart is very uncomfortable, Li Qi's storage zΓ i made him feel panicked, and now there is another Zhang Chun'er, he is not thinking about how to dominate Tokyo at this time, but how to protect himself.

Suddenly, Su Dongpo's name kept coming to mind. Many talented people rushed to tell the story of this dish with their friends.

Li Qi shook his head helplessly, picked up the chopsticks and was about to taste them, Chai Cong suddenly shouted, "What are you preparing?" ”

"Of course, it's a taste."

Chai Cong sneered: "Yes, I almost forgot that this is a dish." ”

What IQ oA? Li Qi rolled his eyes, took a little fish, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, nodded slightly: "The skin is crispy and the meat is tender, sweet and sour, slightly spicy, plus this story, it does taste unique." ”

After tasting it, everyone also nodded in agreement.

Soon, the second dish came up, it was the "Lamp Shadow Beef", although there is little beef now, but for a big restaurant like Jinlou, it is not difficult to get.

Except for Li Qi, when the rest of the people saw the plate of red beef slices, they seemed to see a fire in the winter, and their appetites were full of appetite, drooling, and full of warmth. Li Qi felt very disdainful, in fact, he could also make this dish, and it was definitely much better than what Guda wanted to make, but because there was too little beef today, the cost was too high, which was not conducive to sales, so he didn't do it.

Gao Yanei saw that this dish was nothing special except for its luster and red light, and asked curiously: "Why is this dish called 'Dengying Beef'?" ”

Chai Cong began to show off again, and said: "It is said that this dish is named after the great poem of the previous dynasty, because the beef slices are very thin, and they are picked up with chopsticks, and in the candlelight, the slightest texture on the red sΓ¨ beef slices will reflect a clear red sΓ¨ phantom on the wall, which is extremely interesting, so it is called 'lamp shadow beef'." ”

Li Qi snorted and said, "Yes, the key to this dish lies in the selection of materials and knife work, it is necessary to get beef leg tendon meat and tenderloin, and it is not possible to cut it into a piece of paper." ”

Cai Minde nodded and said, "Yes." However, with Master Gu's knife work, it is not difficult to do this. ”

Gao Yanei said thoughtfully: "It seems that I have to come again tonight to see if it is really so magical." ”

Cai Minde smiled, picked up a piece of beef, tasted a piece, the thin beef slice is not only very good to eat, but also chewy, praised: "Well-spicy and fragrant, the entrance is slag, the taste is really good, to taste so delicious, this four dollars are really worth it." ”

He was born as a chef, so his evaluation is naturally very weighty.

Soon, the beef on the plate was snatched up by Hong Yaojiu and Gao Yanei, but Li Qi never moved his chopsticks. Cai Minde was curious: "Li Gongzi, don't you like to eat?" ”

Li Qi smiled slightly: "There is herpes in the mouth, and it is inconvenient to eat." In fact, this is just his excuse, he is afraid of his hand injury, so he does not dare to eat.

Next is the much-anticipated golden jade hall.

Before the dish went upstairs, there was a burst of exclamations downstairs. Li Qi and the others were very confused when they heard this, but when the golden jade was presented, the golden light was four, and everyone gasped. Fan Shaobai said even more tremblingly: "This-this-the golden jade hall is not like this? ”
