"My lord, hot water is here."
Whether it is scorching heat or freezing weather, as long as Li Qi is in Qin Mansion, Aunt Chen will always send hot water to Li Qi as soon as he gets up every morning.
"Thank you, auntie."
Li Qi took the handkerchief handed over by Mrs. Chen, thanked him, washed his face seriously, and asked casually: "By the way, Lady, this is the Chinese New Year's Eve, don't stay here, go home and celebrate the New Year with Anan and them." β
In fact, Chen Anan already had his own home, just near the wine, when Li Qi saw that he had to stay in the wine until three or four watches every night, it was troublesome to rush back and forth, and it was not safe, so he simply bought him a house nearby.
Aunt Chen said: "How can this be done, the red lady has already gone to Baifu, if the old body leaves again, then who will serve the adult." β
Li Qi said helplessly: "Auntie, I am also an adult, I have hands and feet, where do I need someone to serve, Anan will start the holiday this morning, your mother and son will have a good gathering, and go to the drunken immortal residence at night to be happy with everyone, eat hard, don't save money for me." β
"But."
"It's nothing, just do it."
"Then your lord is going to the Drunken Immortal Residence tonight?"
Li Qi said: "I won't go if I have an appointment tonight, you guys have fun." By the way, after you finish eating tonight, don't go back here, so as not to disturb me, go to Anand's place to stay for a few ri, so that the kid can also do his filial piety. β
In fact, he had long invited Feng Yinu and YelΓΌ Bone Yu to come here for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, because the three of them had no relatives here, and they just happened to be together, and they also had a companion, of course, if the facts could come out, it would be even more perfect.
"Oh." Aunt Chen nodded.
Li Qi suddenly smiled and said, "That's right, auntie." Are you still satisfied with Xiaoyu, the future daughter-in-law? β
When Aunt Chen heard this, she smiled happily and said happily: "Xiaoyu's child is well-behaved and knows the general situation, I like it tightly, but Anan's child has not yet been decided, and the old body is afraid that Anan will delay Xiaoyu." β
Li Qi said: "Don't worry about this aunt, although Anan's heels can't touch the ground, but he is more affectionate, Xiaoyu will never suffer if he follows him." β
Aunt Chen smiled and nodded.
After washing. Li Qi went to the kitchen to make a bowl of noodle lamb noodles to fill his stomach, and then began to prepare tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. He pretended to be sick and excused himself from the New Year's Day banquet, not that he was bored with cooking, but the New Year's Day banquet was too tiring, almost a whole day, and it was okay, the key was that those dishes were basically fixed, and he went to add a few festive dishes, without any challenge. And the focus of the day on politics rather than tasting food doesn't mean much to the chef, and he has to meet the upcoming big customers. Of course, you have to raise Jing and be sharp.
Soon, he finished processing some of the materials, wiped his hands, and was just about to go to the back hall to roast the fire. Suddenly, Aunt Chen walked in again, rolled her eyes and said, "Auntie, why are you still here." β
Aunt Chen looked embarrassed and said, "That's the case." The old man was just about to go out, but a few guests suddenly came outside. β
"How many guests? Isn't it a Feng Niangzi? β
Aunt Chen shook her head and said, "It's not Feng Niangzi, it is said that it is an envoy from Dongying who specially came to visit the adult." β
"Dongying? Little ricoon? β
Li Qi exclaimed, and immediately frowned, the Song Dynasty and Ri Ben have never had diplomacy, and Ri Ben has never sent people to participate in the New Year's Day court meeting, why did he suddenly come this year, and he also found the Qin Mansion, groaned for a while, Wu Zi found nothing, and said: "You let them wait for me in the front yard, and I will go over later." β
"Yes."
Although Li Qi is not an angry young man, he shouts at every turn to kill Ri himself, but he doesn't have a good impression of Ri himself, of course, reason still tells him, this is 1123 AD, and his mentality must be stable. After a while, Li Qi came to the front hall, and saw two people sitting in the front yard, one was about forty years old, wearing a black sè high hat, a pale yellow sè robe, wide sleeves, small eyes, and three long beards, but some Confucian style. The other, who was about thirty years old, with a comb on his hair and a blue samurai suit with a long sword, knew at a glance that it was a samurai, and behind him stood two samurai.
"This must be the famous Golden Knife Chef."
When the two saw Li Qi come in, they quickly got up, and the man in the hat made a gesture, which was no worse than those scholars, and the fluent Chinese language made it impossible to hear that he was Ri himself.
No, this Chinese is more fluent than I speak! Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and arched his hand: "Exactly." Are you from Dongying? β
The man nodded and said, "In Shimotoji Miki." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to the samurai next to him and said, "This is Iga Momokawa, a famous samurai in my eastern wing." β
"In Xia Liqi, it's okay for you to call me an economic envoy, or you can call me Master Li, sit, sit." Richie bowed his hand hastily, then motioned for them to sit down.
The three of them sat down, and Li Qi smiled and said, "Mr. Tengji, who did you learn Chinese from?" That's really good, if I hadn't known in advance, I really wouldn't have heard that you were from Dongying. β
Tengji Miki said humbly: "The economic envoy has won the award, and the Chinese in the next is learned from a monk, and if he doesn't speak well, I hope the economic envoy will forgive me." In the next since I was a child, I have admired the culture of your country very much, in fact, not only in the next, but the people of our country are very respectful of the culture of your country, and there is such a saying in our RI book, since ancient times, the saint went out of China. β
"Really?". Li Qi said: "This is unusual, it really doesn't look like your Dongying people's style at all." β
Tengji Miki was surprised: "Economic envoy He said this, we have always thought that the relationship between our country and your Central Plains power can be called both a teacher and a friend, your country is our teacher, and has taught us a lot of things, we are grateful for this, and we have always respected your country as a teacher." β
Teacher? Ghost believe! If anyone accepts you as an apprentice, it will really be eight lifetimes of mold. Li Qi smiled, too lazy to talk nonsense with them: "The two of you are here to attend the New Year's Day court?" β
"Exactly."
Li Qi said: "But I heard that you and my Great Song Dynasty have never had diplomatic relations, and you have never participated in the New Year's Day court. β
Tengji Miki said: "We came on our own and have nothing to do with our emperor. β
"Oh, so you're here for a completely private event."
"That'sβthat's what it means nominally."
"Nominally? Hehe, then it's still your emperor's order. β
"It's His Majesty the Emperor."
What did Richie hear? He was uncomfortable and said: "Mr. Tengji, don't say that I didn't remind you, this is the capital of my Great Song Dynasty, you are here with an emperor on the left and an emperor on the right, do you still take my Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty in your eyes?" I don't want to hear these two words again, you will either be called a monarch or a lord. β
Tengji Miki was dealing with Li Qi for the first time, so he couldn't figure out the number of ways. Seeing that his face was displeased, he nodded his head and said, "Thank you for the reminder, I will keep it in mind in the future." β
Li Qi snorted and said, "I don't know what the two of you are doing when you come to the door?" β
Tengji Miki said: "That's right, at the beginning of this year, some fishermen in my country saw fishermen from other countries eating a kind of food called canned food at sea. β
Li Qi raised his hand without waiting for him to finish, stopped him from continuing, and said, "Don't talk about this nonsense." I'm busy, you just want to buy canned food, no problem, how much do you want. But let's say it first, if it's less than 10,000, you can pay for the freight. β
Tengji Miki was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "What the economic envoy said is good. We do want to buy canned food, but we mainly want to buy the secret recipe for canned food. β
"What! The secret ingredient to buying canned food? Li Qi's eyes widened and he stared blankly at Tengji Miki. This ri's really good at doing business! Haha laughed and said: "Brother Miki, if it's not dark today, why don't you talk in your dreams." β
Tengji Miki hurriedly said: "Why don't you listen to our bid and make a decision." β
Li Qidu was happy, waved his hand and said, "You say, you say." β
Tengji Miki raised a finger and said, "We are willing to give 10,000 taels of gold." He also put a special emphasis on the pronunciation of the word "gold".
riγ I really haven't seen money! Li Qi sighed, "Wow! 10,000 taels of gold, that's a lot, I don't know if I can fill this room. β
Tengji Miki sighed, shook his head, and said, "This-I'm afraid it can't be." β
"There's nothing to talk about." Li Qi shrugged his shoulders and shouted outside, "Aunt Chen, Aunt Chen." β
After a while, Aunt Chen walked in and said, "My lord, your name is Lao Shen." β
Li Qi said angrily: "I know that you haven't left yet, just right, by the way, invite these two out to me, you are also back, go and get together with your son." β
Tengji Miki never expected that such a heavy amount of money did not impress Li Qi by half a point, but angered him, and he couldn't help but stand up directly in a hurry, and said: "Don't blame the economic envoy, don't blame, impulsively said the wrong thing in the next moment, please forgive the economic envoy, forgive me." β
Li Qi squinted, waved his hand at Aunt Chen, signaled her to go out first, and then said: "The two of you can find the door, you must also know something about me Li Qi, I am a businessman, if the two come to me to do business, of course I am welcome, but you also have to let me see your sincerity first, don't buy this and that as soon as you enter the door, please see how much is in your money bag first." Pay back 10,000 taels of gold, when I'm poor and crazy, if you want to buy my secret recipe for canned food, okay, there is no business that can't be discussed, 10,000 taels of gold, otherwise you don't need to talk about it. β
10,000,000 taels of gold? Tengji Miki was so shocked that he almost didn't swallow his tongue, and said with a sweaty face: "This-isn't this too much?" β
Li Qi sneered: "This is still a lot, I gave you a preferential price, if it was someone else, I would have been driven out as a madman." Since you don't have so much money, then it's better to be down-to-earth and talk about something realistic, I really don't have the time to mess with you here, and I'll have to cook later, saying, how much canned food do you need every year. β
Cook? Tengji Miki was pressed by Li Qi step by step, and he was a little out of breath, and secretly said, this person is a robber, and he doesn't have the demeanor of a big country in the Central Plains at all, so he couldn't help but pull his collar, squeezed out a smile and said: "Even if the economy makes us unwilling to endure the pain of parting love, we can still cooperate."
