In the past few days, Wu Xiaoliu and the Zhuzi brothers have greatly improved their understanding of knife work and food in the devil's training in these few days.
Of course, in addition to their own hard work, Li Qi's attentive teaching is also indispensable.
In the past few days, Li Qi has spent almost all of his time with them, but he has not said a word about what the Drunken Immortal Residence should do next.
This time, Wu Furong learned to be obedient, and he didn't chase after Li Qi's ass like last time and asked, he knew that Li Qi was a person who did things, liked to be mysterious, and would give you a big surprise from time to time, so he put his heart in his stomach this time and prepared to watch a good show.
On this day, an uninvited guest suddenly came to the Drunken Immortal Residence.
This person is Cai Laosan, the housekeeper of Jade Xuan.
Cai Laosan was followed by a pair of mother and son, who were Chen Anan's mother and son who Li Qi rescued at the gate of Jade Xuan last time.
When Chen Anan's mother and son saw Li Qi, they immediately fell to the ground and bowed.
Li Qi hurriedly helped them up, and said unhappily, "What are you doing here?" I am not dead, but I have done anything, so arise quickly. So saying, he helped their mother and son up.
Aunt Chen said with tears in her eyes: "The kindness of the big officials to the old mother and son, the old body has no way to repay, he is a cow and a horse every day, all according to the orders of the officials." ā
"The eldest lady is serious, and she hasn't done anything in the down, you want to thank you and thank you for being Cai Yuanwai and Cai Steward." Li Qi glanced at Cai Laosan, who was embarrassed on the side, and said with a smile.
"I won't thank him!"
Chen Anan snorted and said with a disdainful expression.
Li Qi frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Anan? ā
"Brother Li, I know it's wrong!"
Chen Anan saw that Li Qi's face was displeased, so he quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake. Since that day Li Qi let him be in the limelight in front of everyone, Li Qi has naturally become a big hero in his mind, a good person, and he doesn't dare to disobey Li Qi's words.
Li Qi raised his head and said, "Then why don't you hurry up and thank Steward Cai." ā
Aunt Chen hurriedly pulled her son to thank Steward Cai.
Cai Laosan said in fear: "Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare to be ashamed, think of the events of the day, and be ashamed of your son." ā
Because Cai Laosan knew that Cai Minde was very important to Li Qi, he would never dare to offend Li Qi again at present.
Li Qi saw that Chen Anan's mother and son had ruddy faces, white and clean, and there was a world of difference from the sick and dirty appearance that day, presumably Cai Minde did not treat them badly, so no matter what, this thank you is really deserved.
Li Qi smiled gratefully at Cai Laosan, and then bowed his hand to Wu Furong, who was still confused beside him, and said: "Uncle Wu, these two are fellow villagers in Xia, see if you can be accommodating and let them live in the store for a few days." ā
Wu Furong was slightly stunned, then understood, pretended to think about it, and then said: "Okay, since it is your countryman, then let them live here for a few days." ā
After that, he said to Chen Anan's mother and son: "You two come with me." He saw that Cai Laosan seemed to have something to say to Li Qi, so he took the opportunity to give them this opportunity.
Chen Anan's mother and son saw that Wu Furong was willing to take him in, and tears of joy flowed down, especially that Aunt Chen, who was speechless with excitement.
After Chen Anan's mother and son went in, Cai Laosan suddenly pulled Li Qi aside, then took out an invitation from his sleeve and handed it to Li Qi, and whispered: "Li Gongzi, the first batch of 'Cai's stinky tofu' in the shop tomorrow will be baked, so my family specially invites you to go to the store tomorrow to talk about it, so you can build a little more." ā
It seems that the old fox wants to engage in brand effect, and he really has a set!
Li Qi's heart was like a mirror, but his face was surprised: "Cai's stinky tofu? ā
Cai Laosan hurriedly said: "Li Gongzi, don't misunderstand, the reason why my family changed the name of Gongzi's stinky tofu to Cai's stinky tofu is not aimed at Gongzi, but just to distinguish the stinky tofu in the small shop from the stinky tofu in Drunken Xianju." ā
Li Qi shook his head and smiled: "Don't dare, don't dare, since I have already sold the secret recipe to the outsider, of course the outsider has this power, but it's just a matter of asking." ā
Cai Laosan saw that Li Qi didn't care about this, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said with a smile: "Li Gongzi is really a refreshing person, I wonder if Gongzi will be free tomorrow?" ā
Li Qi said with a smile: "Outside the staff is full of intentions, I Li Qi is really flattered, how dare I blow the kindness of the staff, don't worry, Li Qi will definitely go tomorrow." ā
Cai Laosan saw that Li Qi agreed, and when he was overjoyed, he exchanged a few words with Li Qi before turning around and leaving.
After Cai Laosan left, Wu Furong hurriedly walked over and asked, "Li Gongzi, what is this Cai Laosan looking for you?" ā
Li Qi sneered, handed the invitation to Wu Furong, and said, "He wants me to understand what it means to be a good bird and choose a tree to rest." ā
Wu Furong was stunned for a moment, opened the invitation and saw that it was just an ordinary invitation, and said puzzledly: "Li Gongzi, what do you mean by this?" ā
Li Qi first told Wu Furong what Cai Laosan said to him just now, and then said: "Uncle Wu, think about it, if the old fox really wants me to build a yƬ for him, he won't wait until tomorrow, it should be now, because tomorrow his store will already sell stinky tofu, even if there is a mistake, if he wants to remedy it, it will be too late, so he must have made all the preparations, he asked me to go, just to let me see the grand occasion of the Jade Xuan." ā
After hearing this, Wu Furong suddenly realized, and asked with a little worry: "Then are you going tomorrow?" ā
"Go! Why not! Li Qi sneered: "The more he does this, the more he doesn't take our Drunken Immortal Residence seriously, which is a good thing for us." Besides, in order to let me go, he deliberately sent Chen Anan's mother and son here, and the old fox took so much trouble for me, how could I refuse his kindness. ā
In fact, as early as the last time Li Qi went to Jade Xuan to teach Cai Minde to make stinky tofu, he wanted to bring Chen Anan's mother and son to the Drunken Immortal Residence, but Cai Minde said that it was getting late, and Chen Anan's mother and son had already slept, and he reassured Li Qi that he would personally ask someone to send Chen Anan's mother and son over.
At first, Li Qi didn't understand Cai Minde's intentions.
Now that Cai Laosan sent their mother and son at this critical time, Li Qi woke up.
In fact, three or four days have passed since the period of that month, it stands to reason that Cai Minde should have driven Chen Anan's mother and son out long ago, but he didn't do it, the reason why he waited until today to send Chen Anan's mother and son was completely to remind Li Qi that he owed him a favor, so that Li Qi couldn't refuse his invitation today, it was really painstaking!
In fact, even if Cai Minde doesn't do this, Li Qi will definitely go.
At dinnertime, Li Qi and Chen Anan's mother and son, as well as Wu Furong's uncle and nephew and Zhuzi brothers, a total of seven people, sat down around a large round table, and there was no distinction between dignity and inferiority.
For this, the Zhuzi brothers and Wu Xiaoliu have long been used to it, and Chen Anan is a child, so he doesn't feel anything wrong.
But Aunt Chen was a little uncomfortable, like sitting on pins and needles.
Li Qi took this opportunity to ask Aunt Chen about it.
Only then did they know that they were originally from Xingzhou, a few months ago, their hometown suffered a plague, Chen Anan's father also unfortunately died, Chen Auntie took Chen Anan to flee here, if it wasn't for Li Qi, he would have starved to death on the street.
When Li Qi heard this, he sympathized with their mother and son very much, and comforted them a few words, so that they could rest assured that they would live under the drunken immortal.
Chen Anan listened, his heart was tight, in the past few months, he has been following his mother around, and he has no companion to play with him, now it's okay, I got to know Wu Xiaoliu, a person who is fine, and in less than a day, a few people are almost not burning yellow paper, cutting off chicken heads, and the relationship is very good, so he naturally doesn't want to be separated from Wu Xiaoliu and the pillar brothers so quickly.
As for Wu Furong, of course, it was all on Li Qi's orders.
