After some details were settled, Richie got up and took his leave.
After Li Qi left, Cai Laosan immediately walked to Cai Minde's side and whispered, "Master, is this price too high?" β
"Little San, we are traders, we have to look farther."
A sneer appeared at the corner of Cai Minde's mouth, and said: "The reason why the Drunken Immortal Residence can still last until now is nothing more than relying on this stinky tofu, if our Jade Xuan can also make stinky tofu, then do we still need to be afraid of it, as long as the price is pressed at that time, it will be a matter of time before the Drunken Immortal Residence closes, and it will be 16,000 yuan, Old Man Wu, I will see how you die then." β
When Cai Laosan heard this, he suddenly realized, and nodded hurriedly: "What the master said is that with this secret recipe, the drunken immortal residence is already in the master's pocket." β
"It's just that this kid surnamed Li is indeed a talent, if he can be used by me, it would be great." Cai Minde said with a little regret.
After a game, Cai Minde always thought that he was in charge, but after the negotiation was completed, he faintly felt that this qiΔ seemed to be too smooth, from the beginning, everything Li Qi said was in line with his intentions, as long as it was something he wanted to know, Li Qi knew everything, and everything was said reasonably, and he couldn't doubt it at all, as if this qiΔ seemed to have been designed by Li Qi a long time ago.
But when he thought of Li Qi's age, Cai Minde felt that he was too worried, how could he have such a city at such a young age, it must be because he has not entered the world deeply that he will have such a heart-to-heart with me.
Cai Laosan knew that Cai Minde had always liked to recruit wise men, so he hurriedly echoed: "Master, you don't have to worry about this, when the Drunken Immortal Residence falls into our hands, this surnamed Li will have nowhere to go, and then he will only come to seek refuge in the master." β
"Not bad! You're right, as long as we buy the Drunken Immortal Residence, this kid will definitely come to us. Cai Minde smiled happily.

By the time Li Qi returned to the Drunken Immortal Residence, Wu Furong and the others had already closed the stall, and at this time, Wu Furong was hiding in the counter and dialing the old abacus.
When Li Qi saw it, he was particularly moved, he knew that Wu Furong did this just to let him stay, and shouted: "Uncle Wu, I'm back!" β
Wu Furong looked up and saw that it was Li Qi, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked Chen Xiaozhu to pour Li Qi a cup of tea.
After the two sat down, after chatting casually, Li Qi saw Wu Furong looking preoccupied, so he asked, "Uncle Wu, do you have something on your mind?" β
Wu Furong was slightly stunned, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Li Gongzi, the fifteen-day deadline is coming soon, but there is still a gap between the money earned in these days and a thousand guan, and there are fewer and fewer customers who come to buy stinky tofu in the past two days, I am afraid that the time will ---γ β
Although Wu Furong didn't finish speaking, Li Qi knew what he wanted to say, and said with a smile: "Uncle Wu, you don't need to worry about this, I have already taken care of the money matter, and someone will send money tonight." β
Wu Furong's face was shocked, grabbed Li Qi's sleeve, and said, "Li Gongzi, this is true!" Don't deceive the old. β
Li Qi nodded and smiled: "How dare I deceive you!" β
Wu Furong saw that he looked confident, and believed seven or eight points in his heart, and when he was overjoyed, he asked, "But I don't know who will send the money?" β
"I can't say this for the time being, but after tonight, I'll tell Uncle SΓΉ all of them." Li Qi smiled mysteriously, and then said, "By the way, where is Xiao Liuzi going?" β
Wu Furong saw that Li Qi was reluctant to say, so he didn't ask any more questions, and replied: "Oh, Liuzi and Dazhu are cleaning the kitchen, hehe, since you came, that kid has been much more diligent." β
When Li Qi heard this, he was very relieved and said modestly: "That's not it, uncle, you used to teach well. Okay, I'll go to Xiao Liuzi to explain something first, and you can continue to be busy with yours. β
That night, when Wu Furong saw Cai Laosan and four porters, carrying two large wooden boxes to the store, the whole person was stupid.
After Cai Laosan asked the porter to open the two boxes, Wu Furong's uncle and nephew and the pillar brothers gasped, leaned forward, and leaned on their heels, the scene was quite funny.
It turned out that the two large wooden boxes were filled with strings of copper coins, and there were at least more than a thousand of them.
Among the four of them, except for Wu Furong, the other three were seeing so many copper coins for the first time, and their eyes were about to pop out.
Cai Laosan was secretly proud when he saw the appearance of the four of them, but when he saw that Li Qi's face was flat, he was very surprised in his heart, and said secretly: "What the master said is right, this kid is really different." β
Li Qi didn't explain too much to Wu Furong and them, just asked them to put the money away, and then took Wu Xiaoliu, brought the brine that had been prepared long ago and more than ten pieces of stinky tofu that had not been fried, and followed Cai Laosan out.
In fact, Wu Xiaoliu didn't know what Li Qi was going to do, but he knew that it would never be wrong to follow Li Qi, and before leaving, he glanced at Brother Zhuzi proudly, as if to say, see it, this is the preferential treatment of the senior brother.
When he came to Jade Xuan, when Li Qi saw the luxury Cheng dΓΉ inside, he was secretly surprised, not to mention the rest, the kitchen alone was several times larger than the kitchen of the Drunken Immortal Residence.
Cai Minde, who had been waiting in the hall for a long time, saw Li Qi's expression, his face showed smugness, he didn't plan to let the chef in the store learn to make this stinky tofu from Li Qi tonight, but went into battle himself, after all, he was a chef himself.
Li Qi was quite surprised by this, but he also knew that Cai Minde did this because he didn't want more people to know the secret recipe of this stinky tofu.
Li Qi first handed over the recipe that he had just written this afternoon to Cai Minde, and when Cai Minde saw the crooked words on the paper, the whole person was taken aback, he never thought that Li Qi, who could easily match the pair of the White Lady and Song Gongzi, would write so ugly.
Li Qi glanced at Cai Minde worriedly, he didn't know what he was thinking, his face was swayed, and he turned red, secretly thinking that Lao Tzu must find a way to get a fountain pen, the brush is really not suitable for Lao Tzu.
Fortunately, Cai Minde is not a literati, so he didn't think too much about it, and his attention was still on the content of the secret recipe, but when he saw that the raw materials of this stinky tofu were so cheap, he jumped up with excitement, thinking that you, an old man Wu, would take such a cheap thing and sell it so expensive, I didn't expect this old man to be really ruthless.
As everyone knows, this qiΔ is Li Qi's attention.
Li Qi saw Cai Minde's excited appearance, his intestines were repentant, and he secretly complained, I didn't expect this, if I had told him the cost price of this stinky tofu earlier, maybe the price of this secret recipe could go up, and I would have lost it! It seems that there is still a big gap between my business and my father-in-law!
After signing the documents that had been agreed earlier, the two parties went to the kitchen together.
The two of them tinkered in the kitchen for nearly an hour before they came out.
However, the expressions of the two after they came out were diametrically opposed, Li Qi was tired, and he couldn't raise his tired head, so he had already told Cai Minde in detail every step of making this stinky tofu, and he also taught him how to fry stinky tofu.
There's nothing fake in this!
No matter how bold Li Qi is, he doesn't dare to play tricks on this, he knows that Cai Minde is a chef from Cai Jing's mansion, then Cai Jing's mouth is tricky, it is recorded in the history books, and he can be a chef in his mansion, which proves that Cai Minde's cooking skills must be extraordinary, and playing these things in front of this kind of master is simply looking for death.
And Cai Minde is in good spirits, it is really refreshing for people to be happy at happy events!
