Chapter 18: Mrs. Li
Mo Xiaoqi nodded and said, "Yes, but this old lady Li is ......."
She waited for Zhao Hongyi's next step.
"It's an elder I respect." When Zhao Hongyi talked about this old lady, a gentle smile appeared on his face.
It seems that he really likes and respects this old lady.
Since she is Zhao Hongyi's elder, she must not slack off.
Zhao Hongyi is a young man who is full of books and anger, born as warm as jade, and his gentle breath makes people very comfortable.
Mo Xiaoqi has always had a good impression of him, but this good impression is more like a confidant.
"Actually, it's because grandma's eighty-eighth birthday is coming, if you can get her love for what you make, the birthday banquet can be hosted by Kelaixiang." Zhao Hongyi is pulling business for Mo Xiaoqi.
But his sudden serious look made Mo Xiaoqi not very understanding.
It's just an old lady who lives in a simple place, even if she hosts her birthday banquet, she can't make a lot of money, right? What's more, she is still Zhao Hongyi's elder.
"You said Mrs. Li is your grandmother?" In her heart, she felt that he was quite filial.
"It's not a relative, but it's better than a relative." Zhao Hongyi smiled mysteriously, "If you can successfully get the approval of her old man and be able to host the birthday banquet, I will keep you and you will not be at a loss." ”
"Forget it, you said she was your grandmother, and I would recover the cost at most." Mo Xiaoqi waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to earn this silver.
Zhao Hongyi couldn't help laughing out loud and said, "Xiaoqi, you misunderstood. I mean, this old lady Li. The identity is not ordinary, and there will be many dignitaries and dignitaries at the birthday banquet, and the status of those people is more noble than that of me, a small county commander. ”
When Mo Xiaoqi heard this, her eyes lit up, if she could make friends with the families of some dignitaries, then her business would develop further!
As long as her business gets bigger and bigger, the more likely it is to annex Anjia, and she can't help but get excited when she thinks of this.
"Lord Zhao, you really helped me a lot!" As soon as she was excited, she stepped forward and hugged Zhao Hongyi.
Zhao Hongyi's body was stiff and he didn't dare to move, "Small, small chess." ”
"Ah, I'm sorry." Only then did Mo Xiaoqi realize that he had done something inappropriate, this was in a parallel world, and it was a feudal and superstitious dynasty.
What a misunderstanding this hug caused!
"No, it's fine." Zhao Hongyi's heart was pounding, but the woman in front of him was already talking about going back to study what to cook for Mrs. Li.
"Hehe, Hongyi, I'll go back to the kitchen to study and study first, and I'll do it in a while, I'll come to you first." After Mo Xiaoqi finished speaking, he turned around and went to the kitchen.
Zhao Hongyi touched the position of his heart, and he tried to calm his surging mood.
The scent of the woman was still lingering on the tip of her nose, but the person had already turned away.
"Mo Xiaoqi, you are such a strange woman." This woman was able to re-energize her heart that had not been turbulent for more than 20 years.
He wondered, did he really like this woman?
After waiting for a while, Mo Xiaoqi's figure reappeared, and he looked at her carefully.
Small nose, long black hair, simple and simple dress, no powder, looking fresh and real.
The confident smile on his face and the sincerity in his eyes make people feel extremely comfortable.
So he came to the conclusion that he liked this woman.
"Well, how about you look at these? It's light but appetizing. Mo Xiaoqi opened the food box, and it was really full of light food.
"What kind of porridge is that? It smells so good. Zhao Hongyi was attracted by a bowl of porridge and his nose.
Mo Xiaoqi smiled mysteriously and took out a duck egg from the corner of the food box.
"It's this porridge. I cooked it in the morning, and I happened to give it to Mrs. Li to try at this time. After Mo Xiaoqi finished speaking, he put the duck eggs on the table.
Duck eggs? Zhao Hongyi frowned, he remembered that his grandmother once said that he didn't like the fishy smell of duck eggs the most.
"I know what you're worried about, you open the duck eggs and take a look." Mo Xiaoqi frowned when he saw him, and guessed in his heart that it might be Zhao Hongyi's Grandma Li who didn't like duck eggs.
The duck egg was cracked open, but it was not white inside. Zhao Hongyi was taken aback, looking at the beautiful appearance of the duck egg's pale yellow and transparent, and suspected that this was not a duck egg at all, but amber.
"It's called a pine flower egg, you see if there are beautiful flowers in the egg white."
As soon as Mo Xiaoqi reminded him, he really saw a few small flowers blooming in the amber egg white.
"It's beautiful." He admired and looked at Mo Xiaoqi in surprise, "How did you do it?" ”
"Hey, trade secrets." Mo Xiaoqi motioned to Zhao Hongyi to take a bite quickly.
Although Zhao Hongyi was a little skeptical about whether this thing could be eaten, he immediately took a bite when he looked at Mo Xiaoqi's expectant appearance.
Slightly salty, slightly astringent, with a charming fragrance between the lips and teeth, delicious.
Yes, it's the taste, the aroma that comes out of the porridge.
"It's a pity that I only cooked a small pot of porridge, otherwise I would have let you taste it." Mo Xiaoqi had some regrets.
Originally, she just tried to make ten pine eggs, but she didn't expect to open two in the morning, and it really succeeded.
"Let's go. If you don't leave, the dish will be cold. Mo Xiaoqi blinked his eyes, looking at Zhao Hong's unfinished appearance, and couldn't help but be happy.
Zhao Hongyi just took a step, but stopped again, "No, you went with me." What about the business in the store? ”
"It's okay, Fat San can barely cope, he has talent, but he lacks the right approach. And I just need to be back by noon. As soon as Mo Xiaoqi said this, he was relieved.
The carriage was waiting outside the Kelai Xiang Gate, and the two got into the carriage and went straight to the east of the city.
Old Madam Li's home finally arrived, but they never expected to see An Yize at the door.
He was followed by a maid with a food box in his hand, and there was a person who looked like a doctor.
"It seems that An Yize and we are fighting the same idea." Mo Xiaoqi carefully carried the food box and did not get off the carriage in a hurry.
"Well, it's normal, he's a businessman, and naturally he also wants to get to know some dignitaries through Mrs. Li. I can't get this way, of course he has to find a new way. Zhao Hongyi spread his hands and said that he was also helpless.
"No, I must get the right to host the birthday banquet." Mo Xiaoqi was full of confidence to cheer himself up, and then got out of the carriage first under Zhao Hongyi's encouraging gaze.
As soon as she got off the carriage, An Yize saw her.
"Isn't this Boss Mo?" An Yize greeted him first, but Mo Xiaoqi pretended not to see it and skipped him directly.
"You're also here to try to host a birthday party? Don't waste your efforts, you can't fight me. Even if it's better than mine, you still can't beat me. An Yize said these words just to stimulate Mo Xiaoqi.
How did you know that Mo Xiaoqi didn't accept the move at all, just a white eye, which made An Yize stunned.
