After getting a few laborers for no reason, Li Qi was in a good mood, and after chatting with them for a while, he asked them to pack their luggage first, and then go to the Drunken Immortal Residence with him later.
After explaining, Li Qi walked out of the house and saw that Bai Qiannuo was seriously teaching the group of children to read, and he didn't want to disturb her, so he squatted aside to listen.
After a while, Bai Qiannuo also seemed to feel that there were two eyes watching her from behind, and when she looked back, her eyes just met Li Qi's dull gaze, and she couldn't help but feel dizzy.
Li Qi didn't feel that there was something wrong, just pure appreciation, stood up, and said with a smile: "White lady, it's really hard for you, thank you very much." ”
This is a sincere sentence in Richie's heart.
But Bai Qiannuo didn't think so, let the group of children practice by themselves, and then smiled at Li Qi: "Didn't you just say that you are a businessman, since that's the case, then don't say this thank you, it's not worth a few dollars anyway." ”
Sweat!
Li Qi's face froze, and he hurriedly changed the topic, and said with a sneer: "By the way, it's noon soon, what are we going to eat at noon?" ”
The white lady snorted and said, "Someone will send steamed buns later, I can't be hungry for you." ”
"Just eat steamed buns? How can this work, you look at them, they are all thin like monkeys, and when they go to the store, they don't know that they think that the drunken immortal residence has been changed to a refugee relief station. Li Qi shook his head.
Bai Qiannuo's eyes rolled over, and he said angrily: "I want to give them big fish and meat, but you don't have to forget, you only gave me one hundred taels the day before yesterday, and now there are more than a dozen people, and you have to eat for a month, you don't know how to calculate this account, right?" ”
"This --- ahem, uh, that's it, the small shop has been decorating recently, and it's relatively tight."
After Li Qi said vaguely, he said: "However, in order to thank the White Lady for your hard work and help Drunken Xianju without asking for anything in return, I plan to --- out five yuan privately and give everyone a good meal." ”
Bai Qiannuo glanced at him suspiciously, and said, "Really? ”
"Of course it's true." Richie assured.
"Bring the money." Bai Qiannuo stretched out his hand.
Isn't it just five times money? You look down on people, too.
Li Qi squinted at her, reached out and pulled it into his arms, his eyes widened suddenly, wouldn't he, he forgot to bring money?
Li Qi fumbled around for a while and found that he really didn't have any money.
Bai Qiannuo looked at his sweaty appearance, and had already guessed seven or eight points in his heart, and smiled deliberately: "What? You won't sue me, you forgot to bring money, right? ”
Li Qi glanced at her embarrassedly, gave two thumbs up, and praised: "White lady, you are so smart, this has made you guess--- I really forgot to bring money." ”
Bai Qiannuo glanced at him, obviously not eating him, and said: "This one said that he wanted to thank others, but the other said that he didn't bring money, which is really insincere." ”
Li Qi knew that he was at fault first, and he didn't dare to refute it, so he rubbed his hands and asked, "Then --- did you bring money with you?" ”
"Naturally, I'm not like you."
"Then can you lend me a five-time money first, I promise, as soon as I get back to the store, I will pay you back." Richie patted his chest and reassured.
A hint of cunning flashed in Bai Qiannuo's eyes, and he said, "Actually, it doesn't hurt to borrow you five times, but --- you have to pay me back twenty times." ”
Extort.
Naked blackmail.
Li Qi said angrily: "You are also a little darker, aren't you afraid of eating?" ”
Bai Qiannuo shrugged and said, "I forced you to borrow it again." ”
"Liuguan."
"Fifteen times."
"Baguan, no more."
"Ten runs. If you have less, you can borrow it from someone else. ”
"You're ruthless enough, deal."
Li Qi almost gritted his teeth, and after playing with the eagle for two lifetimes, he was now pecked by the eagle, which is a great shame!
Bai Qiannuo finally won back a city, and he was very happy, and immediately asked Xing'er to take the money (silver ticket) worth five times to come out.
A pile of thick banknotes, with denominations ranging from 10 to 50 yuan.
Li Qi took the money and asked angrily, "Do you have a pen here?" ”
Bai Qiannuo nodded and said, "There are in the house." What is this, you ask? I didn't ask you to write it. ”
"Don't ask about this, you'll know later, can you help me get a pen first, by the way, and get some rags." Li Qi said mysteriously.
Although Bai Qiannuo didn't know why Li Qi wanted these things, these were not valuable things, so he told Xing'er to go to the back room to get a brush and some rags.
After a while, Xing'er brought the brush and rags.
Li Qi took the brush, turned red, handed the brush to Bai Qiannuo, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I have to bother you to do it for you." ”
Bai Qiannuo took the pen and said in surprise: "You can't read? ”
"It's not really, it's just that my handwriting is so ugly that I can't even read it myself." Li Qi smiled helplessly, in his time, at his age, who had nothing to do to practice calligraphy!
Bai Qiannuo glanced at him with strange eyes, this is really incredible, she thought that Li Qi would be able to match her and Song Yuchen at the same time, presumably he was also very literate, but she never thought that he couldn't even write well.
What kind of person is this?
Bai Qiannuo felt a little crying and laughing, and said, "Then you have to sue me, what do you want to write?" ”
Li Qi smiled: "This is simple, well--- fifteen catties of pork, tofu, garlic, ginger, green onions, and woad (cabbage)." ”
Li Qi said about thirty kinds of ingredients, main ingredients, and seasonings in one go, and then asked Bai Qiannuo to write one or two on each rag.
Bai Qiannuo frowned slightly, thought about it, and still didn't know why, but she didn't ask, and wrote as Li Qi said.
After Bai Qiannuo finished writing, Li Qi took the rags, walked up to the group of children, touched the head of the relatively sturdy young man at the front with his hand, and asked with a smile: "Little brother, what's your name?" ”
The young man seemed to be a little afraid of Li Qi, and said in a trembling voice: "I'm --- my name is Tian Qi." ”
Sweat! Tian Qi? This name is also a bit domineering.
Li Qi was stunned and asked, "Your father is the carpenter of Natian?" ”
Tian Qi nodded.
"Huh! Your father really knows how to pick a name, and he can apply for a patent. ”
Li Qi said something that everyone couldn't understand, and then picked up a rag at random, put it in front of Tian Qi, pointed to the words on it, and asked, "Tian Qi, do you know the words on it?" ”
Tian Qi looked at it carefully and said, "Pork and raw --- raw." He didn't seem to recognize the latter word.
"The word is called 'ginger', remember?" Li Qi smiled.
Tian Qi read it in a low voice, and then nodded.
"Good."
Li Qi handed him the white cloth, and then said, "Can you buy fifteen catties of pork and one catty of ginger for the eldest brother." ”
As soon as the adults heard that Li Qi was going to ask Tian Qi to buy pork, they ran over one after another and volunteered to receive this errand job.
But I was rejected by Li Qi one by one, if I let you buy it, then what am I going to do with all this effort.
Li Qi gave each of the children a rag and a few money quotes, and then asked them to buy them according to what was written, except for arranging an adult to accompany Tian Qi to buy pork, and the rest was done by themselves.
Those children were shaking with so much money, and their hearts were scared, but they were even more afraid of Li Qi, and they went out one after another, they had been wandering here for so long, Li Qi naturally didn't have to worry about them getting lost.
When they were gone, Li Qi instructed the carpenters to go around and cut some firewood, and then asked the ladies to go outside to find some stones, and build a makeshift stove in the middle of the yard.
After all the orders were finished, before Li Qi had time to catch his breath, Bai Qiannuo came over again, looked at him with complicated eyes, and asked, "Are you doing this to teach them to read?" ”
Li Qi was slightly stunned, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that I can't hide anything from you." I just want to take this opportunity to let them recognize a few more words by the way, but this method is absolutely undesirable, it is too expensive, and I will have to bother you to teach them in the future. ”
"Don't worry, since I promised you, I will naturally not lose my trust in you." Bai Qiannuo snorted.
However, she thought that Li Qi's method was very good, that group of children took so much money, naturally they did not dare to go separately, they must discuss and act together, and the words on the rags will also become the target of their discussion. In this way, they will surely memorize the words on the rags by heart, and may be more effective than if they had read them a hundred times.
Li Qi smiled: "Of course I can trust you, otherwise I wouldn't have cooperated with you." ”
Bai Qiannuo glanced at him angrily, and asked again, "By the way, what are you going to cook later?" ”
The names of the ingredients that Li Qi asked her to write, except for the fifteen catties of pork, were all some ingredients, which was a strange combination.
Li Qi smiled: "You'll know later, don't worry, I won't let you down." ”
Bai Qiannuo has long been accustomed to Li Qi's personality that likes to hang people's appetites, but when he thinks of last night's 'eyebrows and smiles', he is quite looking forward to it.
