If God does evil, you can still live; if you do evil on your own, you can't live.

This sentence is really the most suitable to describe Master Li at this time.

Five hundred coins, what can you do? You can buy a lot of paper, you can buy a few kilograms of grain, but you want to hold a national-level banquet? Li Qi feels a headache just thinking about it. He is the chef, not the chef who sells offal noodles.

Oh my god! You can cook unimaginable dishes with whatever you get. It's just a movie.

Let's put it this way, if one person eats five hundred coins and eats mutton, then there will be no alcohol supply, let alone after-dinner cakes. Wine, dishes, cakes, and rice, these four items are put together, and it is generally impossible to spend five hundred coins.

It’s done in a hundred words.

Of course, this does not mean that five hundred coins per person is not enough. For ordinary people, this is definitely enough. However, under the premise of the request made by Song Huizong, this is undoubtedly difficult to reach the sky.

"Grand Master, Grand Master, please give me your opinion. Is it true that my good intentions are not rewarded?"

As soon as Song Huizong left the hall, Li Qi hurriedly caught up with Cai Jing, with an aggrieved look on his face, as if his chrysanthemum had been popped.

Cai Jing glared at him slightly and said, "You still have the nerve to ask me, do you think you can hide those little tricks you played from me?"

"Uh... Grand Master, I'm not thinking about the new method." Li Qi said sarcastically. He knew in his heart that his plan could only be a surprise. It was almost impossible to hide it from Cai Jing and the others.

Cai Jing snorted: "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have let you succeed just now. But now, you have offended everyone in the court. Can you afford 30% of your salary?"

Sweat! I have been offended many times before. Li Qi curled his lips and said: "This has nothing to do with me. They are the ones who want to cause trouble for the emperor. The emperor allowed them to become money-spreading boys."

Money-spreading boy? Cai Jing broke into a cold sweat and hummed: "Since it has nothing to do with you, then why do you come to me again, go as you go. Stay away from me, just think that I am afraid of you, ugh

"Now that I'm walking with you, I feel like the hairs on my back are standing on end."

Is it such an exaggeration? Still like a glow on his back? Li Qi subconsciously turned his head and took a look. His Adam's apple rolled, and he cursed secretly, fuck! This old guy must have eyes on the back of his head. You all know this. Wait until he turns around again

Come on, Cai Jing has distanced himself from him a long time ago, you still keep your word!

"Taiwei. Taiwei."

"Let's talk tomorrow if we have anything to do."

"My father-in-law---."

"You bastard, you really don't want the world to be in chaos, huh."

"Prince Guangyang, we haven't caught up with each other for a long time. As the saying goes, it's better to choose a day than to hit it. I'm going to treat you today---"

"Haha, Economic Envoy. I'm really sorry. I've already made an appointment with someone today."

"Prime Minister Zuo, tomorrow---."

"Let's talk about tomorrow's matters."

Damn it! Why didn’t you say that today’s work is done today!

Li Qi, who was ostracized by everyone, murmured all the way and unknowingly arrived at the imperial dining room. Li Qi was shocked and said to himself: "This is really weird. Is this God's will? Okay.

Well, I will obey God's will and get the abalone and ginseng back." After saying that, he buried his head and walked in.

Before I even entered the door, I saw the imperial cooks walking out carrying dustpans one by one. I was very curious, so I immediately walked forward, grabbed the little cook, and said: "Hey, what are you doing---Wow

Wow wow, isn't this me--my two-headed abalone? Oh no, where are you going to send these things?"

"Back to the deputy general manager, the emperor has just issued an order. From today on, everything in the imperial dining room will be simplified. Tomorrow's banquet will also be cancelled. We have no choice but to move these materials back to the warehouse."

"No way? So fast? Take a plane!"

Li Qi was completely stunned. After all this time, it seemed that the emperor was serious about it this time.

At this time, a person walked out of the door and smiled at Li Qi: "Oh, brother Li, why are you here?"

Li Qi was startled for a moment, then turned around and held his hands in his hands, smiling and saying: "Brother Zuo, you're fine." But he thought in his heart, this might be my last chance, I must seize it.

Zuo Boqing said half-jokingly: "I'm fine, but I'm almost exhausted. Brother Li, you must be here to help."

Damn! Am I here to help like this? I really don’t know what to say. Li Qi smiled and said: "Where, where, I just came to visit Brother Zuo. You also know that there is a pregnant woman in my house. The woman is here

In this period, it is very difficult to take care of us, and it is really not easy for us to be men."

When Zuo Boqing heard that he took Ji Hongnu out again, he thought to himself, as expected, it seems that he is here to fish in troubled waters again. He nodded with a smile, walked over, and lowered his voice: "You came to see me as a lie,

Look at abalone and ginseng to be real, right?”

Li Qi laughed a few times and said: "At this moment, the only thing I can say is to express what I am thinking. My parents are the ones who gave birth to me, and Boqing is the one who knows me."

Zuo Boqing said angrily: "It's useless even if you talk about it today. Don't go against the wind and commit crimes. I'm doing this all for your own good."

"I know that ---." Li Qi subconsciously prepared to reply politely, but suddenly he felt that the words sounded strange, and he said displeasedly: "Look at what you said, you are committing a crime against the wind, how unpleasant it is.

It should be said that I am working hard. Do you think I am doing this for myself? I am researching new dishes for the palace banquet. To be honest, I have recently experienced a state from the absence of form, that is, having form.

."

Zuo Boqing had heard this reason almost eight hundred times. As for having a phase or having a phase, he didn't want to do it anymore. The pressure was too great. After the banquet without phase, he rested for several days before he recovered. He waved his hand and said

: "Stop talking about these things, it's useless. To tell you the truth, don't talk about you now. Even those in the harem don't dare to make mistakes. Just now, the emperor and the queen mother simultaneously issued an order to the study room and ordered the imperial dining room to be used from now on.

Everything must be kept simple and there must be no extravagance and waste. This is the first time.”

Li Qi was stunned for a moment and said: "You---how did you say the last sentence just now?"

"No extravagance---."

"Not this sentence, the previous sentence."

"Oh, it's the ones in the harem---you know this."

"It's over, it's over." Li Qi patted his forehead and said.

"What's the meaning?"

Li Qi sighed and covered half of his face. "It seems that the people I have offended are far more than that!"

"Ah? What did you say?"

"Nothing, nothing." Li Qi hurriedly shook his head and said without giving up: "Brother Zuo, look at these materials being moved here and there. If there is any damage in the process, no one will find it. I promise, this

This is definitely the last time, and I plan to move all these abalones and ginseng back, and get enough at once, oh no no no. I will study it at home and make a dish that will shock the world and make people cry."

All? Zuo Boqing was dumbfounded when he heard that, and said angrily: "Don't talk about all, you can't even think of taking a green onion out of the palace now. Okay, I have something else to do and I'll go ahead - you two

Come here and assist the deputy general manager."

"yes."

Assistance? Li Qi looked around at the two little cooks beside him. He cursed in his heart, this is not assistance, it is clearly guarding against thieves! Damn it, it’s too abominable, I don’t want it. He shook his sleeves and took a big step.

He left, but didn't go far. He turned back secretly, and there was a faint trace of tears in the corners of his eyes.

Qin Mansion. In the back hall.

"Confucius said benevolence, and Mencius said righteousness. Although I, Li Qi, am not as good as Confucius and Mencius, I also know that diligence and thrift are a virtue of our Chinese nation. I just want to promote this virtue. What's wrong with this?

? There is a saying that if the upper beam is not upright and the lower beam is crooked, whoever is born is destined to be a corrupt official. This is not all forced. Let’s not go into details, let’s talk about those corrupt officials in Jiangnan. They are not just

These accessories of the luxurious life of the high officials in the DPRK are now almost out of the national treasury. No matter what, whether you are a monarch or a minister, you should save a little. I am devoted to the country, but what I get in exchange is an impossible task.

, you can just talk about this kind of thing in private, why do you say it in front of so many people, it’s great now, it’s hard to recover from the flood! That’s it, that’s it, there is a saying in Buddhism, if I don’t go to hell, who will go to hell. Madam,

Madam, damn, aren't you asleep? Can you give me some reaction? Don't let me talk alone!"

As soon as Li Qi returned to the Qin Mansion, he happened to see Mrs. Qin drinking tea and reading in the back hall. His complaints could no longer be suppressed, and they poured out like the Yellow River bursting its banks, but he was the only one from beginning to end.

While talking, Mrs. Qin just sat in a chair and closed the door to relax, which made Li Qi feel like a madman talking to himself.

Mrs. Qin opened her eyes slightly and said calmly: "Actually, you can go talk to Hong Nu about this."

"This is not a good thing. She is pregnant. It is better not to tell her so as not to worry her." Li Qi said depressedly.

"What about bone lust?"

"No matter what, Bone Desire is a Khitan, and his father is still on the run. It is really inappropriate to tell her such things."

"Feng Yinu's head office."

"She is at Master Li's place. Do you want me to go and tell Master Li about the emperor's evil---Yeah, yeah, yeah."

Mrs. Qin frowned slightly and said, "Even so, there is no need for you to tell me. Aren't you afraid that I will miss you again?"

"If I don't tell you, won't you stop nagging? Anyway, you are not my woman. If you are in a bad mood, what does it have to do with me? If I don't look for you, who should I look for?" Li Qi muttered in a low voice.

Mrs. Qin has sharp ears and eyes. Even though Li Qi had lowered her voice low enough, she could still hear a little bit. She opened her beautiful eyes and said, "What are you talking about?"

"ah?"

Li Qi's heart trembled. Could it be that she could read the shape of her mouth? Hehehe said: "Oh, I mean, madam, you are the best listener in the world, because you were born in a famous family, you know the general situation, and you are very strict in speaking. Unlike

Those talkative women like to talk nonsense, and the most they can do is nag a few words. You can nag now, I will listen."

Do you think I want to nag? I am not doing it for your own good. Mrs. Qin said lightly: "If my nagging is useful, then there is no need to nag me anymore. Since it is useless, why do I do it?"

No. I asked you to nag, but you didn’t nag. I didn’t ask you to nag, but you just kept nagging. Women are really complicated animals! Li Qi sighed and said: "Madam, what you said makes sense, my life

Why is it so painful?"

Mrs. Qin snorted softly and said, "You brought this on yourself, and my father is also a victim!"

Li Qi rolled his eyes and said: "Come on, isn't it just 30% of the salary? It's nothing to mention to Uncle Wang. Don't think that I don't know all of Uncle Wang's social expenses since we opened Zuixianju."
