Emerald Pavilion.
Cai Minde paced around in the room, looking a little panicked, now the outside is full of rumors about Li Qi's magical performance at the first birthday banquet, some people say that Li Qi offended Wang Huang, and the future will be difficult, and some people say that Li Qi is deeply favored by the emperor and has a bright future.
These news bothered Cai Minde for a night, and he also found an acquaintance in the Taishi Mansion to understand the whole thing, which obviously did more harm than good to him.
However, this is not what he is most worried about, after all, the emperor favors Li Qi, not Drunken Xianju, and what he has to deal with is Zuixianju, he knows that whether it is the emperor or Cai Jing, he will not let go of his son to meddle in the affairs of Zuixianju, after all, business is a sale, these are two different things, and he is most worried about something else.
"Sir, sir."
At this moment, Huang Wenye suddenly walked in, with a rare hint of panic on his face.
"How about it, Wenye, have you found out."
Seeing Huang Wenye coming, Cai Minde hurriedly greeted him and asked anxiously.
Huang Wen nodded and said: "Master, I have already checked it all, it turns out that Fan Lou has already bought the eight foot shops around the Lion Tower, if it weren't for Shopkeeper Sun to inform me in time, I'm afraid we would still be in the dark now." ”
"Okay, you old Fan, you dare to stab me in the back."
Cai Minde was annoyed and angry, picked up a teacup on the table and slammed it, and with a bang, the fine porcelain teacup was smashed by him, but this could not solve the hatred in his heart.
Huang Wenye said worriedly: "Master, I see that Fan Lou has joined forces with Drunken Immortal Residence. Otherwise, he would not have chosen to make a move at this juncture. ”
Cai Minde snorted angrily: "I know this, this qiē must be another kid from Li Qi." ”
"But what did Fan Lou buy so many foot shops for at once?" Huang Wenye said with a hint of puzzlement.
Cai Minde squinted his eyes, pondered for a moment, and suddenly the essence in his eyes flashed, and said, "He wants to break the alliance of our other restaurants and divide and destroy them." ”
Huang Wenye also reacted, and wondered: "Could it be that they want to buy a foot shop?" Then use the bottom price meat to fight with us for strength, but this is impossible, he Fan Lou is powerful. But it's not enough for our twenty buildings to join forces! ”
"No, they wouldn't."
Cai Minde shook his head and said, "Think about it. Why did they buy a foot shop, it was nothing more than to make the meat of the Lion Building unsellable, the ordinary people, the money available every day is only a little, they must have thought of a way to replace the meat with something else, let the people buy his things, so that the people will have no money to buy meat, if this is the case. The Lion House will definitely let us divide the meat in his hands evenly, so that the other restaurants will definitely have complaints, this is their first step, as for what tricks they will make next. I don't know, but they've taken the initiative. ”
Huang Wenye suddenly realized and said, "Master, since this is the case, we have to quickly find a way to deal with it." lest you be caught off guard by their beatings. ”
Cai Minde nodded and said, "In this way, you go to the Lion Tower immediately, tell the money clerk about the situation, and let them reduce the price of meat by another penny, we will help him carry the price in the back, let him sell the meat in his hand as much as possible, and I will discuss it with those meat merchants to see if I can reduce the amount of meat in the Lion Tower." ”
Huang Wenye nodded and said, "Yes, master, I'll go now." ”
As soon as Huang Wenye walked to the door, Cai Minde suddenly shouted, "Wait." ”
Huang Wenye asked, "Master, is there anything else?" ”
Cai Minde shook his head and said: "No, I know the person outside the money clerk, now the price of meat is already very low, if it drops again, I'm afraid he won't be willing to do this, presumably this is also the reason why Fan Lao'er chose to start with him, so let's let him stabilize the current price first, and we and other restaurants will raise the price by a penny." ”
"Hey, I see."
Huang Wenye nodded and walked out with a sad face.
Some people are worried, and naturally some people are happy.
After chatting with his wife about the concept of love for a whole morning, Li Qi was in a good mood, holding the emperor's imperial folding fan, and sat calmly and swayed to the Drunken Immortal Residence, the only thing that displeased him was the resentful eyes of the bridge next to him.
From today on, Ma Qiao has officially become Li Qi's personal bodyguard.
Coming to the Drunken Immortal Residence, Li Qi was a little surprised by the flow of guests today, it stands to reason that he only made a big splash at the first birthday banquet last night, and the guests should be several times more than usual, but now the guests inside are still the same as usual, although they are almost full, but they are far from achieving the expected effect.
Li Qi knew that this qiē should be related to Wang Huang.
"Master Li, congratulations."
"Congratulations, congratulations."
"Thank you, thank you."
As soon as Li Qi entered the inside, those old patrons stepped forward to congratulate one after another, with no contempt on their faces, only respect.
Li Qi had just finished entertaining the guests, and Wu Furong dragged him aside and whispered, "Master Li, the banquet we sent out today is nearly fifty percent less." ”
For this point, Li Qi has also been prepared for a long time, and now the people who come to the Drunken Immortal Residence to book a banquet are usually those big officials, they don't want to offend Wang Hao because of this little thing, so they nodded slightly and said: "It's okay, it will be fine in a while, by the way, did the ducks from Fan Lou be sent?" ”
"All of them have been delivered, and I have sent all the ducks to the house in the western suburbs as you instructed."
Wu Furong said, and said with a sincere smile: "Master Li, then did Master Cai really give you that mansion?" ”
"That's still fake."
Li Qi said with a smile: "But I'm still used to living in Qin Mansion, it's more lively, and it's relatively close to the Drunken Immortal Residence." ”
Wu Furong nodded, and said: "Oh, the Taishi Mansion has already sent someone to send the reward silver this morning, tsk, it's the first time the old man has seen so many silver cups and jade cups." ”
"It's a little funny."
Li Qi smiled very coquettishly and said, "The Taishi Mansion is not bad for this thing. ”
Wu Furong nodded wryly and said, "That's, that's." ”
Richie smiled. Yu Guang suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure on the second floor, and said to Wu Furong: "Uncle Wu, I'll go first for something, so I won't talk to you." ”
"Oh, then there you go."
Li Qi nodded, and then said to Ma Qiao: "Ma Qiao, you come with me." With that, he walked towards the second floor.
Go up to the second floor. Li Qi came directly to a table, looked at the noble boy in the chair, and said with a smile: "Zhao-Gongzi." Don't come unharmed. ”
This person is Zhao Jing, but she is alone this time and did not bring any maids with her.
"What Zhao Gongzi. It's clearly a woman. ”
Ma Qiao stood behind him, glanced at Li Qi with disdain, and snorted.
This guy has good eyes! It was seen at a glance.
Zhao Jing was slightly stunned and asked, "Who is this?" ”
Li Qi hurriedly introduced: "This is a master I specially invited from the deep mountains and old forests, if there is any offense, please bear with Miss Zhao." Now that Ma Qiao has seen it, there is no need for him to hide it for Zhao Jing.
Master?
Zhao Jing couldn't help but glance at Ma Qiao.
Ma Qiao seemed to like the title of master very much, brushed the long hair in front of his forehead, and put on a master's posture.
Li Qi was beside Ma Qiao again and asked in a low voice, "How can you tell that she is a woman." ”
Ma Qiao snorted: "How can a man be more handsome than me. ”
Is this Nima okay too?
Li Qi was stunned. I couldn't help but shake my head with a wry smile.
Zhao Jing seemed to hear the conversation between the two of them, showed a crying and laughing expression, and stretched out his hand and said, "Brother Li, please take a seat." ”
"Thank you."
Li Qi smiled and sat opposite Zhao Jing.
Zhao Jing said with a smile: "Now Brother Li can be described as a spring breeze. Happy events continue! ”
"Where, where."
Li Qi shook his head with a smile, shook his wrist in a dashing manner, opened the folding fan, shook it a few times, and looked full of energy. said: "Miss Zhao, why don't you come out with a fan today." ”
Zhao Jing smiled bitterly: "You don't need a fan this day." ”
"Alas, that's true, but I can't help it, I can't do it if I don't fan!" Li Qi shrugged and said helplessly.
This person is really thick-skinned, he clearly wants to show it in front of me, and he deliberately says it so dismissively. Zhao Jing smiled slightly, and followed Li Qi's words: "Brother Li, your fan is quite beautiful." ”
The tone is very hypocritical.
Li Qi shook his head and said, "It's so-so." ”
Zhao Jing pursed his lips and smiled: "I heard this morning that the emperor today rewarded you with a jade fan, and this is it." ”
Ma Qiao was shocked when he heard this, Mom, this fan was given by the emperor, but fortunately I didn't break it this morning.
Li Qi laughed and said, "Miss Zhao is really good eyesight. As he spoke, he deliberately faced Zhao Jing with the words "Cooking Skills".
This person's personality is still really weird, and he will become like a person at one time, and like a child at another. Zhao Jing smiled bitterly in his heart and said, "Brother Li, since this fan was given by the emperor, you have such a fan method every day, no matter how good the fan is, it can't stand it." ”
"Makes sense."
Li Qi nodded, immediately closed the fan, and carefully put it into his arms, this is Shang Fangbao's fan, if it is broken, the loss will be great.
Ma Qiao was very bored when he heard the two of them talking about a fan for a long time, and suddenly glanced at the delicate short sword that Zhao Jing put on the table, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed: "Wow, this sword is so beautiful, can you lend me a look." ”
As he spoke, he was already very innocent and stretched out his hand to the short sword.
Zhao Jingdai frowned, and quickly reached out of her hand, wanting to block Ma Qiao's hand, but she didn't expect that Ma Qiao's speed was faster, her hand was only halfway out, and the short sword was already in Ma Qiao's hand.
Richie sat on the sidelines and watched in a daze, not knowing what the two of them were doing.
Bang.
Ma Qiao took the sword and pulled it out directly, and a cold light swept by.
"Good sword, good sword, much better than my junior sister's kitchen knife." Ma Qiao nodded and said extremely seriously.
When Li Qi heard this, he almost burst out laughing, this Maqiao is really out of the ordinary!
A trace of anger appeared between Zhao Jing's eyebrows, glanced at Ma Qiao coldly, and suddenly split out with a palm.
Smack.
I don't know when, the short sword suddenly returned to Zhao Jing's hand.
Ma Qiao lightly defused Zhao Jing's offensive, glanced at her with a smile in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Don't be so stingy, I'm just looking, okay, now the sword has been returned to you, and besides, your kung fu is useless to me."
