Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

Qi Qingxi doesn't believe that people who can easily jump on the roof can only do some superficial kung fu, but she asked Gu Liang a few more questions but she didn't want to say more, so she had to find an opportunity to ask Gu Yu.

"Why does Xi'er want to practice martial arts?" Gu Yu suddenly remembered that she said that she wanted to find a martial arts master for her younger brother. "His martial arts is indeed not bad. There is no problem teaching your brother martial arts."

"But when I asked him if he knew martial arts, he didn't intend to tell me. If there are any unspeakable secrets, there is no need to force Gu Liang." Qi Qingxi said.

Gu Yu pinched her face and smiled softly: "There is nothing hidden, but I told him not to reveal to others that he knows martial arts, but it doesn't matter if you know."

So besides going to school every day, Qi Yunhui started to learn martial arts from Gu Liang, but he never tired of it and was very active.

Qi Qingxi felt that Qi Yunming's sitting and reading all day long was not good for his body, so he asked him to practice for an hour a day, and he was recently transferred to class A, so tired that he fell asleep every night when he touched the bed.

Qi Qingxi is also very busy during this time.

Master Fan came to the store as agreed, and Qi Qingxi randomly ordered a few dishes to test his skills.

Cooking is about color, aroma, taste, and shape. The dishes made by Master Fan are delicious, but the taste is a little strong, and the presentation is not particular.

However, Qi Qingxi didn't think it was a big problem, she thought it was acceptable, and she was going to negotiate a contract with Master Fan immediately.

But Master Fan seemed hesitant to speak. Seeing this, Qi Qingxi asked him if he was dissatisfied with the contract, and let him say nothing.

"No, no, there is nothing to change in the contract, just..." Master Fan said, "I just want to discuss something with the girl. I have taken in a young apprentice from the restaurant in the provincial city, and he wants to come with me."

That kid was originally a beggar without father or mother in the provincial capital. A few days ago, Master Fan went out to buy ingredients and accidentally lost his purse.

In the money bag was the twelve taels of silver that the shopkeeper specially asked him to buy precious ingredients. If he couldn't get it back, he would not only lose money, but also lose his job. He was so anxious that he was sweating all over his body.

So he looked around on the road he had walked. Although he knew that he probably would not be able to find it, he still held a glimmer of hope, pointing out that he might run into a kind person.

Unexpectedly, he actually met him, and that person was his current apprentice.

"He saw me looking around looking for something, and came to me and asked me if I lost something. I replied casually that I lost my wallet, and then he asked me what color the wallet was and how much money was in it. I also told him. As a result, he took out my money bag from his arms, opened it and saw that there was nothing missing in it."

Master Fan was very touched at the time, and wanted to cook a delicious meal for the beggar to thank him, but he didn't want it. After knowing that Master Fan was a cook, he pestered Master Fan to accept him as an apprentice.

"I saw that he was a bit smart, and his character was not bad, so I agreed. But I never thought that I would meet such a good thing you gave me when I went home, so I told him that I would go home and do things for him. I will find a master in the city, but he will come with me."

Master Fan asked Qi Qingxi if he could let his apprentice stay as a cook, and just eat three meals a day.

"That can't be done." Qi Qingxi refused without thinking, "Since I have done the work, how can I not get paid? Those who don't know will think that I am some kind of vicious shopkeeper who deducted the wages of the employees."

Master Fan was a little disappointed seeing Qi Qingxi's refusal at first, but then he couldn't help being a little excited when he heard Qi Qingxi's words: "No, no, shopkeeper, this is the rule of our apprenticeship, just don't pay for meals."

"Then where does he live?" Qi Qingxi was a little curious.

"He lives in my house. I have already rented a yard in the county. I plan to take my parents, wife and children to live with me. Then he will live in a room with my son."

Qi Qingxi nodded, and then took out the brochure that Grandma Liu's son sent over.

"This is a brochure made by an uncle of a vegetable farmer in our village. It says the melons, fruits and vegetables he produces all year round. Take a look too. Let's discuss the menu of our restaurant."

Master Fan did not accept the brochure, but looked at Qi Qingxi with an embarrassed expression: "Shopkeeper, this... I... I can't read."

Qi Qingxi raised her eyebrows, but she forgot that this place is not like her time, where everyone could write and count.

"It's okay, I'll report the dishes on this menu to you, and you can also tell me the name of the dish you are good at, and I will remember it."

Qi Qingxi called Qi Nuan to go to the room to get a pen and paper.

After being busy for a long time, Qi Qingxi recorded all the dishes that Master Fan would cook.

But she doesn't plan to operate in the mode of today's shop, where the waiter announces the name of the dish and the customer orders.

Instead, let Master Fan choose the ten most popular meat dishes he has cooked, then some fruits and vegetables he is good at, and finally choose some seasonal soups, and they will mix them into a set meal.

She plans to paint these set meals as physical paintings and hang them in front of the counter. Customers will pay directly according to the physical paintings, and then make some wooden menu cards to deliver meals according to the menu numbers.

This not only saves time and effort, but also saves the wages of those juniors who would have needed more.

In winter, Qi Qingxi asked Master Fan not to work, and she planned to try to do hot pot business here.

When she was a food blogger, she tried to stir-fry the hot pot base by herself. Although there is no chili, she can try it. If the taste is really not good, there are other soup bases such as mushrooms.

After listening to Master Fan, he nodded again and again to express his support and approval. He never thought that he could still do this in business. He felt that he had learned a lot today, and he also felt that he was right with the shopkeeper.

He had already heard from Shopkeeper Xu about Qi Qingxi's whimsical idea of ​​selling dim sum, and it is said that he also made a fortune.

Such a dare to think, dare to do, and capable shopkeeper.

Master Fan felt that his fortune this year was extremely good, not only did he pick up a good apprentice, but also let him meet such a good shopkeeper.

He felt that the vow he made with the Bodhisattva at Jingtai Temple outside the city must have been heard by the Bodhisattva, and the Bodhisattva blessed him with such smooth sailing, and he had to find time to repay his vow.

Early the next morning, according to Qi Qingxi's instructions, Master Fan went to the place where Grandma Liu's son often set up a stall, and told him that they were going to try the dishes, so he came here to buy some dishes to try first.

Before Master Fan went, he went to the vegetable market early to buy all kinds of meat. Grandma Liu saw that it was inconvenient for Master Fan to carry a lot of things. It happened that Qi Qingxi bought more than half of his vegetables and he could go home. Then he drove the carriage and sent Master Fan back to the shop.

So Qi Qingxi took advantage of the situation and left Grandma Liu's son and daughter-in-law to help try the dishes together.

They were trying vegetables all morning. Qi Qingxi used more than half of the firewood he bought for a wall a few days ago. It happened that Grandma Liu’s son was there. Qi Qingxi asked him to go back to the village to help and ask if there was any firewood in the village to sell in the county. She collected firewood here. .
