After tasting them one by one, the purple-robed boy stood up, arched his hand towards Li Qi, and praised: "I can't imagine that the little brother has such exquisite cooking skills at a young age, even compared with the imperial chef in the palace, I'm afraid it is not much better." ”

Imperial Chef? Could it be that he is from the palace?

Li Qi was shocked, but his face did not change, and he said with a smile: "The so-called death of a confidant, a good chef, the most important thing is to meet a person who can eat, I just listened to Your Excellency's evaluation of each dish, it can really be described as a sentence, I think Your Excellency must have tasted a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and it is really an honor to be able to cook for you." ”

I have to say that Li Qi's sycophant was really shot just right, and it left no traces.

The purple-robed boy was quite useful, laughed a few times, and said: "I didn't expect that the little brother is not only good at cooking, but also very funny to speak. ”

"Under Richie." Li Qi hugged his fists.

"It turned out to be Brother Li, and I am fortunate to meet him." The purple-robed boy arched his hand towards Li Qi, as if he didn't intend to tell Li Qi his name, and gestured slightly to the entourage beside him.

The attendant immediately took out two silver ingots from his arms, handed them to Li Qi, and said, "This is what our son-in-law rewarded you." ”

When Wu Xiaoliu saw it, his eyes were shining, there were fifty taels of silver here, which was more than their income this month.

It can be seen from this that the turnover of Zuixianju this month is so bleak.

The purple-robed boy said: "It's a small meaning, it's not a respect, and I hope Brother Li won't refuse." ”

Li Qi didn't intend to refuse at all, he had to pay for the meal, and said with a smile: "Then it's disrespectful." "Take the silver and hand it to Wu Xiaoliu.

The purple-robed boy saw that Li Qi was very happy, a touch of praise flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly invited Li Qi to sit down, and the two chatted while eating, so comfortable.

After being full of wine and food, the purple-robed boy saw that it was not early, so he got up and said goodbye, and before leaving, he said that he would definitely come back in the future.

Li Qi sent him to the door, only then turned back, sighed softly, his face was full of regret, in fact, he was very dissatisfied with the three dishes he had just made, if he changed to before, this level of dishes, generally before they came out of the kitchen, they would be thrown directly into the trash.

It's not that his cooking skills have regressed, it's just that he didn't prepare enough in advance and the materials are limited, so he will be very substandard, but this is already his best effort, and it is not easy to make it like this.

Li Qi knew very well that the reason why the purple-robed boy just now praised these three dishes was entirely because of the novelty of the dishes and the unique taste, and you must know that stir-frying began in the Northern Song Dynasty, and generally only the imperial chef in the palace or the chef of the big restaurant would stir-fry, but stir-fry was really familiar to him. It is no exaggeration to say that in the Northern Song Dynasty, in terms of stir-frying alone, he recognized the second, and no one dared to admit the first.

"Brother Li, what kind of meat are you cooking, it's so delicious."

As soon as Li Qi returned to the hall, he saw Wu Xiaoliu holding the plate of leftover back pot meat, gobbling it up, his mouth was full of oil, and he was also vague when he spoke.

Even Wu Furong picked up the chopsticks and tasted the three plates of leftovers, although he was not as exaggerated as Wu Xiaoliu, but his face was full of surprise that could not be concealed.

Like this kind of evaluation that only knows how to praise "delicious", Li Qi generally ignores it directly, walks over, sits next to Wu Furong, and smiles slightly: "Uncle Wu, what do you think?" ”

"Not bad! It's really good, little brother, I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good, and the old man is really blind. Wu Furong said.

"That's it! Uncle, didn't you listen to what the boy said, our Brother Li's cooking skills can be compared with those imperial chefs in the palace. Speaking of this, Wu Xiaoliu seemed to remember something, suddenly sighed, and said with regret on his face: "If Mrs. hadn't decided to sell the store, then we could invite Brother Li to come to our Drunken Xianju as a chef, and then the business would definitely be much better than now." ”

"Selling a store?"

Li Qi's face tightened, and he asked, "Uncle Wu, why do you want to sell the store?" ”

Wu Furong sighed and said, "Little brother, I believe you have also seen that the business in our store has been relatively cold recently. ”

Li Qi nodded slightly, not to mention that it was deserted, it was simply inaccessible.

In fact, on this topic, Li Qi has wanted to ask for a long time. The geographical location of Zuixianju is definitely the prime location of Bianjing, no matter how bad the business is, it should never be like this, in the final analysis, there is still no good chef, Chef Zhou's cooking skills, Li Qi has tasted it, it can't be described as poor, there is this kind of chef, it is difficult not to close the door! It's just that the master was very good to him on weekdays, so he couldn't open this mouth.

Since Li Qi came to the Drunken Immortal Residence, Wu Furong has never treated him as an outsider, sighed heavily, and told him the whole thing.

It turns out that this drunken immortal residence was founded by a large family surnamed Qin, and the three generations of the family surnamed Qin have made a living by running this restaurant, and it can also be regarded as a time-honored brand in Bianliang, Tokyo.

The previous Drunken Immortal Residence was not like this, it was simply a household name, the store was full almost every day, and the business was very hot.

But since the last few years, the boss at that time, at a young age, suddenly died violently, and he had no children under his knees, so he could only hand over the store to his wife, which is now Mrs. Qin, but Mrs. Qin didn't know anything about business, and she rarely even came to the store, so she handed over this burden to Wu Furong.

When Li Qi heard that Mrs. Qin handed over the restaurant to Wu Furong to take care of, he knew in his heart that this was probably the key reason for the collapse of the Drunken Immortal Residence, he knew that Wu Furong was kind-hearted, kind-hearted, and had no scheming at all, this kind of person was okay to be a manager, and it was absolutely impossible to be a decision-maker, if you don't play some tricks in business, if you are not ruthless, you are doomed to failure.

This Wu Furong can be regarded as a veteran of two generations, he was a buddy in Drunken Xianju when he was very young, and later because he knew a few words, he was promoted to the shopkeeper. He is very familiar with the operation of the restaurant, and in the first two years that he took over, the business was okay, although there was no improvement, but it was still decent.

It wasn't until the last two years that the Jade Xuan on the opposite side suddenly rose, and the Drunken Immortal Residence began to decline. It is said that the owner of the Jade Xuan, originally a cook in the Cai Jing Mansion of Lu Guogong, originally surnamed Qiu, and later entered the Cai Mansion, only to change the surname to Cai, known as Cai Yuanwai, is ruthless, and there is no room to do things, Jade Xuan opened for less than half a year, that Cai Yuanwai did not know what tricks he played, and all the chefs of the Drunken Xianju at that time were dug up, and even the guys did not let go.

There is no way, Wu Furong can only invite back Master Zhou to take charge of the kitchen, this Master Zhou was originally the chef of Drunken Xianju, he used to make a good dish, and he, like Wu Furong, is also a two-generation veteran, but at that time he had been retired for several years, he originally wanted to live for a long time, but seeing that Drunken Xianju was in trouble, in order to repay the kindness of the past, he stepped forward to help, I never thought of it, but he helped a big disadvantage, due to his taste degradation, so the dishes he made, the taste is very heavy, and it is difficult for ordinary people to eat.

Since then, the business of Zuixianju has plummeted, and almost all the regular customers have gone, and the most terrible thing is that Wu Furong also concealed this matter in order to take care of Master Zhou's face, and later he recruited a few new chefs to come in, but the cooking skills are very average, and the business is still not improving, those cooks did not work for a few months, and they all left, and even the guys left only Wu Xiaoliu.

In the past six months, Drunken Xianju has said that if you do it for one day, you will lose one day. Over the years, the old Ben has already eaten seventy-seven, eighty-eight, and Mrs. Qin's mind is not on this, so she wants to sell this drunken immortal residence, she called Wu Furong and Master Zhou to the house today, that is, to discuss the matter of selling the store, saying that it is to discuss, in fact, all of them know, and there is only one way to sell the store now.

This story is really twists and turns, and it can be made into a TV series. Li Qi sighed and said with concern: "Then have you found a buyer?" ”

Speaking of this, Wu Furong was full of sadness again, shook his head and said: "Drunken Xianju is not big, it is not small, there are not many people who can buy it, if you have not worked in the restaurant industry before, you are generally not willing to take out such a large sum of money to buy Zuixianju." ”

"Then find someone to do it! There are so many restaurants in Bianjing, is there no one willing to buy here? ”

Richie was puzzled by this. Not to mention far away, the excellent geographical location of the Guangzui Immortal Residence, if it was placed in his era, I am afraid that before you can speak, a lot of people will rush to buy it.

Wu Furong shook his head and sighed: "Don't you know, although our restaurant industry in Bianjing is now full of flowers, and there are more than 70 large and small restaurants alone, but because our drunken immortal residence is relatively close to Jade Xuan, and Jade Xuan is a new upstart in this industry, and now it is in full swing, so most restaurants dare not take this risk." According to Lao Yu, the only ones who can buy the Drunken Immortal Residence and are not afraid of Jade Xuan are Fan Lou in Dongcheng and Yang Lou in Beicheng, but Fan Lou was originally the most prosperous restaurant in Bianjing, with branches all over Bianjing City, so he has little hope of buying Zuixianju, and the owner of Yang Lou is very conservative, Lao Yu has talked to them about this, but they don't seem to have this plan. ”

"In this way, wouldn't there be only the Jade Xuan family left?" Li Qi frowned and asked, this is definitely not good news for the Drunken Immortal Residence.

Wu Furong sighed and nodded.

"In that case, even if Cai Yuanwai wants to, he must keep the price very low, right?" Richie asked. At this time, just change the boss who is more ruthless, then it won't put you to death, anyway, now it's you who are in a hurry, and it's not me who is in a hurry, the more you drag it out, the more you lose.

Wu Furong was slightly stunned, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled: "I can't imagine that little brother, you are not only good at cooking, but also very proficient in business!" ”

Richie smiled but didn't say anything. In his time, I am afraid that even a person who bought steamed buns knew this.

Wu Furong nodded and said: "Actually, as early as last month, Madame asked me to go to find out the tone of Cai Yuanwai, who knew that Cai Yuanwai said that he could only produce four thousand guan at most, and I calculated that this drunken immortal residence must be worth at least eight thousand guan." ”

This price is also a little bit more ruthless. Li Qi smiled bitterly: "Then what is Madam going to do now?" ”

"Madame means that if you wait another month, if no one is willing to buy it, you will have to sell it to Na Cai." Wu Furong sighed.

Li Qi knew that this drunken immortal residence was about to fall into the hands of Cai Yuanwai.
