It's finally time to meet with the first powerful minister of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Li Qi had a lot of thoughts in his heart at this time, do you want to say hate, although Cai Jing's image of a traitor has been ingrained in his heart, but then again, these are all instilled into his brain by the history teacher, at least so far, Cai Jing has not harmed him, he wants to hate, but he doesn't know where to hate, not only that, he also has an inexplicable sense of intimacy with this Cai Jing, after all, this Cai Jing is another historical acquaintance he knows after Li Qingzhao and Bai Shizhong.

Of course, nervousness is a must, and Li Qi has always told himself in his heart that he will try not to say the wrong thing later.

The group followed the maids to a clearing in the front yard.

This open space is the size of a football field. At the back of the clearing, there was a row of planked huts, about twenty or so, each with a large stove and a square table, which should be the place where they would compete.

Under the eaves of the big house at the front, there are more than 20 low tables, arranged in a stepped shape, and on each table are placed some fruits, tea, snacks, silver cups and jade cups, which are extremely luxurious.

It's just that now the position is empty.

Li Qi and the other cooks stood in a row in the clearing, and their lieutenants stood behind them.

Day. Dare to love that old thing hasn't come yet.

Li Qi waited for a while, felt a little impatient in his heart, and secretly glanced at the other chefs, and saw that except for Zhang Chun'er and Cai Minde, whose expressions were calm, the rest of them all had excited and worried expressions on their faces, and he was the only one who looked depressed.

After a while. There was a sudden sound of footsteps on the left side of the courtyard, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to see that in the door on the left, a large group of people suddenly entered, about twenty or thirty, except for seven or eight maidservants, all of whom were dressed in brocade clothes. Talking and laughing, it's not lively.

Because they were all dressed in civilian clothes, I couldn't tell where they came from.

An old man with white hair is in the center. Wearing a blue square hat and a dark red robe, his slender figure is now a little rickety. His eyes were sunken, his face was wrinkled, his white beard was thick and long, and he was surrounded by seven or eight maidservants.

Even if you think about it with your ass, you know that this old man is that Cai Jing.

On the left side of Cai Jing stood a middle-aged man, about forty years old, who looked a little similar to Cai Jing, this is Cai Jing's second son, Cai Xuan.

Among this group of people, except for Cai Jing. Li Qi knew Zuo Boqing, who was walking last, and didn't know the rest, of course, his eyes were always locked on Cai Jing.

The group came to the front of the clearing, and waited for Cai Jing to sit at the low table in the middle. The rest of the people also sat down one after another, and Zuo Boqing sat in the back of the right side, it seems that his status is still relatively low compared to the rest of the guests.

"The grass people meet the master."

Everyone bent down and saluted together, and Li Qi, who realized it later, also followed everyone to make a show.

After the group of guests took their seats, they glanced at the cooks in the clearing. Whisper to each other.

Cai Jing glanced at the cooks, and then nodded slightly towards the slightly chubby middle-aged man standing in front of him.

This man Li Qi knew, it was the one who came to the Drunken Immortal Residence last time to send the invitation, and it was said that he was the chief housekeeper of the Cai Mansion, named Cai Yong.

Cai Yong bowed to Cai Jing, then stepped forward, bowed his hand to the chefs, and said loudly: "I promise that all the masters can be invited to participate in the crab roe banquet held by our mansion in their busy schedules. ”

"Thank you Taishi for a generous reward."

The crowd spoke in unison.

After Cai Yong finished speaking, he stepped aside, Cai Jing's eyes swept away, and suddenly said, "Where is Master Li from the Drunken Immortal Residence?" ”

Don't look at him in his prime, but he is full of energy and his voice is like a bell.

Master Li of the Drunken Immortal Residence? Don't you just call me?

Li Qi never expected that Cai Jing would name himself, and he was stunned for a while.

"Brother Li, the Taishi called you."

Wu Xiaoliu, who was behind him, saw that Li Qi was unmoved, and hurriedly reminded in a whisper.

Li Qi was slightly stunned, took a step forward, and beckoned, "Oh, I'm here." As soon as the words came out, he felt that the answer was too rude, and he hurriedly said: "Drunken Immortal Ju Li Qi has seen the Taishi. ”

Cai Jing looked at Li Qi and said, "Come on, drag this kid out to play the top ten boards." ”

Watt?

Li Qideng was stunned, his mind was blank, he never thought that the first thing Cai Jing said to him was to spank him.

Not to mention Li Qi, even everyone present was stunned, and they didn't seem to understand why Cai Jing would be so angry with a cook.

When Zuo Boqing heard this, he hurriedly stood up, bowed to Cai Jing and said, "Taishi." ”

"Hmm."

Cai Jing raised his hand to interrupt Zuo Boqing's words, and said, "Boqing, don't intercede for this kid, this kid is bold, the old man has to teach him a good lesson today." ”

Li Qi has also reacted now, playing the board? He had never experienced it in his life, and he didn't want to experience it, so he hurriedly said: "The Taishi wants to teach the kid a lesson, and the kid naturally doesn't dare to disobey, but I ask the Taishi to give the kid an understanding, so that the kid can know where he is wrong." But I thought, is it because of the incident that I entered the door in the morning?

Cai Jing flicked his sleeves, first stopped the few family members who were about to move, and then said to Li Qi: "The old man asked you, did you have a big fight with the housekeeper Wang who greeted the guests in front of the door this morning because of the matter of entering the door?" ”

When Cai Minde heard this, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The rest were shocked at first, and then secretly rejoiced.

Day. Sure enough, because of this incident, this old man's mind has narrowed a little.

Li Qi broke out in a cold sweat, and secretly complained in his heart, he didn't get the benefits of Nima, but he was beaten first, which is too cheating.

"Taishi, please stop being angry, this morning's incident may be just a misunderstanding, Master Li is still young, and there are many rules that he is not very clear, and I hope that Taishi can not remember the villain and spare him this time." Zuo Boqing got up again and pleaded.

Li Qi nodded hurriedly and said, "Not bad." It's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding. Steward Wang and I didn't make a big fuss, just a little friction. "I'm already sweating profusely.

"Really?"

Cai Jing snorted coldly and said, "Whether it's a misunderstanding or friction, whether you enter from the front gate or the side door, the old man doesn't mind." I won't blame you for that. But I heard what Boqing said, you kid is ready to leave just because of this little thing. This is clearly not to take the old man in his eyes, this board must be beaten. ”

Day. It turned out that Brother Zuo made a small report.

Li Qi was extremely depressed in his heart, and glanced at Zuo Boqing slightly. The latter was also throwing two apologetic glances at him. Li Qi knew that he was also an unintentional mistake, and so far, none of this is important, what matters is how to avoid this board, he groaned slightly, and shouted loudly: "Taishi, you are wronged." ”

"Bold."

As soon as Cai Qian heard that Li Qi still dared to shout "wronged", he immediately got up and said angrily: "Didn't you say that my father was idle and deliberately made it difficult for you to be a cook, which is really unreasonable." ”

"The grass people don't dare."

Li Qi bowed. said: "Actually, at that time, the grass people didn't plan to quit the crab roe banquet, but because the grass people and the grass people's assistants were still coming to the Taishi Mansion for the first time, so I don't know where the side door is, and they are looking for it everywhere." ”

Cai Jing said lightly: "Since this is the case, then why did Boqing say that you were preparing to withdraw from the crab roe banquet at that time." Go back to the Drunken Immortal Residence, could it be that Boqing is deliberately deceiving the old man? ”

"No—it's not."

Li Qi hurriedly said: "At that time, the grass people just happened to want to find someone to ask, and it happened that Brother Zuo came, and he saw that the grass people looked depressed, so he stepped forward to ask. Because the grass people are afraid to tell the truth, Brother Zuo will laugh at the grass people for not even finding a door. That's why I made up a reason, maybe I said a few words that offended the Taishi, but the grass people really came to the crab roe banquet with an extremely sincere heart this time, and the grass people always thought that being able to cook a dish for a respected elder like the Taishi was definitely a blessing from the grass people for the tenth generation, and the grass people would not miss this rare opportunity for such a trivial matter. ”

Again? When Cai Minde heard this, he was so anxious that he just wanted to jump out and tell Cai Jing that he must not believe Li Qi's mouth.

"Respected elders?"

Cai Jing raised his eyebrows, laughed a little, and then said, "Don't you kid think that if you say a few nice words, the old man will spare you?" ”

Li Qi heard Cai Jing laugh, his heart breathed a sigh of relief, and he bowed his head and said: "Of course not, no matter what, it is the grass people's fault first, but the grass people beg the Taishi to let the grass people cook for you first, and then come to this board, and I hope that the Taishi can satisfy the grass people's small wish." ”

Cai Jing was very useful in saying this, smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Okay, for the sake of your sincerity to participate in the crab roe banquet, according to what you said, this board, the old man will remember it on you first, but if the dishes you make can't satisfy the old man, hmph, then add ten more plates, and you can do it yourself." ”

Day. After filming so many sycophants, in exchange for a postponement of the execution?

Li Qi secretly glanced at Cai Jing, and saw that there was no trace of anger on his face, but his eyes were full of smiles, and his heart was wide, knowing that his ass did not have to suffer, and secretly thought, it turned out that this old man was scaring me, but he was really scared to death. smiled slightly: "Master Tai, please rest assured, the grass people will not let you down." ”

Cai Jing nodded with a smile.

Cai Minde listened and sighed lightly, looking quite regretful.

And that Zhang Chun'er is a strong breath, she is too eager to compete with Li Qi

．

After this farce, the crab roe banquet officially kicked off.

Under the guidance of the maidservant, everyone went to the small room with the name of the restaurant where they were located.

Li Qi was taken to the room on the right.

The first thing Li Qi did when he came to the house was to drink a cup of tea to suppress the shock, which had frightened them just now.

"Brother Li, you scared me to death just now." Wu Xiaoliu swallowed a cup of tea, and said in fear.

Li Qi snorted disdainfully: "You are a little promising, okay, what a big deal, what are you afraid of." ”

Wu Xiaoliu muttered in a low voice, "Your legs were more shaky than me just now." ”

"What did you say?" Li Qi raised his eyebrows and said angrily.

Wu Xiaoliu sneered again: "I just want to ask, what should we do now?" ”

"Boil water."

"Boil water? This fish and crab have not yet been cooked, so what is the purpose of boiling water? ”

"Did you just scare stupidly, of course it's disinfection, do you still want to do it?"

"Oh, I'll go boil water right away." (To be continued)
