Mr. Qi was very moved when he saw Caitou's busy figure with his head down without any complaints.
Mr. Qi said to the dish: "Fry all the meat and vegetables you bought today, and then heat up the steamed buns."
Caitou pressed his ears, thinking he heard wrongly.
In the past, Mr. Qi's meals included stir-fried vegetables from time to time, but recently, the Qi family has gradually declined and rarely eats steamed buns and stir-fried vegetables.
Moreover, Mr. Qi has eaten very little recently, so he always orders the kitchen to cook less.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is not that Mr. Qi has a bad appetite, let alone that Mr. Qi is losing weight, but that Mr. Qi deliberately eats less at each meal in order to save money.
In the past, the same purchase amount could only be eaten for one or two days, but now, it can be eaten for three days.
On the third day, the freshness of the vegetables is greatly reduced. In order to prevent the vegetables from rotting, the kitchen will always cook more of the remaining vegetables.
Mr. Qi seems to know this rule and doesn't question it. He will eat more than usual on this day.
Caitou thought to himself, what Master Qi just said was to fry all the vegetables bought today.
In the past, it was nothing, but now, this is three days' worth.
Could it be that Mr. Qi is going to break the pot and send all the remaining servants away after entertaining the guests?
Although he hasn't been in Qi Mansion as long as Butler Wang, he is familiar with the whole Qi Mansion. He knows what Mr. Qi and Mr. Wu like to eat.
The level of self-cooking is incomparable to that of Shangjun Courtyard, and it is not much worse than that of an ordinary official's home.
It's not that he doesn't want to find other adults, but that the Qi family already has feelings for Mr. Qi.
Caitou looks honest and honest, but sometimes he thinks too much even if he says nothing.
Caitou felt that Butler Wang was quietly killed because he wanted to change his master, or he was killed by Madam's favorite maid. Who knows whether this was Master Qi's intention or Madam's.
One can imagine how Master Qi dealt with the personnel who betrayed him.
If I find a good place to go behind Mr. Qi's back, I might be like Butler Wang, who dies without knowing why.
When Caitou thought of this, his whole body trembled.
After Caitou filled the stove with firewood, he turned and knelt down to Mr. Qi.
Mr. Qi was originally looking at the busy Caitou with approval, but suddenly saw Caitou turning his head and kneeling towards him, and was a little puzzled.
Mr. Qi frowned and asked, "Caitou, what's wrong with you?"
Caitou said with a tearful tone: "Master Qi, although I have only been in Qi Mansion for a short time, my affection for Qi Mansion is no less than that of anyone else."
Master Qi said in confusion: "Caitou, you are a good boy. I can see this from the food you cook."
"It's just, why do you want to do this?"
Caitou said in a low voice: "Sir, I know that Qi Mansion is in a difficult situation now, but the little one has little food, so it will not be a burden to you, sir. Please don't send the little one away."
Qi Mansion was even more puzzled and said, "When did I say I would dismiss you?"
"Now the Qi Mansion is not as good as moving forward. Some of the servants have been dismissed, but you are still there."
Caitou pointed to the vegetables behind him and said, "Sir, these vegetables can last for three days, but now they have to be fried."
"Adults rarely entertain banquets, and the younger ones know that."
"Now is a difficult time for the Qi family. The adults still have to cook for a banquet. With all these signs, I would venture to guess whether after the guests have been entertained, the kids will have to pack up and go home?"
Mr. Qi finally understood. Caitou felt that my husband's behavior today was a little different from usual, and he was just too worried.
Mr. Qi smiled and said, "I am very pleased that you can consider the sake of my family. Don't worry, I won't send you away after this meal."
"This meal is just the beginning. Life in Qi Mansion will get better and better in the future."
Caitou was very confused, the spicier the better? Why didn't I see that Qi's house couldn't even open the pot? Fortunately, I'm a cook, so I always taste it after cooking, and I'm basically half full.
Mr. Qi looked at the dishes and continued: "It's even better than the previous life. Of course, in the future, not only will your kitchen not lay off people, but you will also find other chefs. You will be the head chef."
Caitou couldn't believe it. Is what Mr. Qi said reliable? Did you say this on purpose? You were afraid that you would no longer be able to cook with peace of mind, and you wanted to use this to save yourself.
No matter what, since I am a cook, I can have food wherever I go and I won’t be hungry. If it turns out to be like Mr. Qi said in the future, I will be considered a profit.
Master Qi turned around and left, and Caitou continued to be busy.
Li Shui and Li Xin were sipping tea and chatting when they saw Mr. Qi walking in. They looked at Mr. Qi happily.
Mr. Qi felt a little embarrassed when these two people looked at him.
Li Xin smiled and said to Mr. Qi, "Sir Qi, you have been here for so long, why don't you prepare something delicious for us?"
Mr. Qi smiled slightly and said: "Of course it is the best that our Qi family can come up with."
"Although the chef in the house is not as good as Shang Jun's Villa, the cooking is pretty good."
Li Xin said: "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what you eat. What matters is who you eat with. Everyone wants to have a meal at Mr. Qi's house, but no one has ever been able to do so."
"It's an honor for us to be allowed to stay at your residence today, Master Qi. I will definitely show off to other adults tomorrow morning."
Lord Qi hurriedly stopped him and said, "General Li, please don't do this. If someone with intentions knows about it and reads a copy of our book in front of His Majesty, the gain will outweigh the loss."
Li Shui smiled and said: "Master Qi is afraid that others will think that he is my good friend of Huaiguzi."
"That's why Mr. Qi must deliberately keep a distance from me in front of outsiders."
Mr. Qi drank a cup of tea and remained silent.
Li Xin saw Master Qi acquiescing to this matter, smiled and said: "Master Qi, why are you doing this? If the low-alcohol wine is sold, who will not know the relationship between Master Qi and Shangjun Courtyard."
Mr. Qi whispered: "That will happen in the future. If it happens, it is inevitable, but now, it is better to keep a low profile."
"Brother Huai wouldn't be troubled if Xiao Xiao said in front of His Majesty that we formed a clique for personal gain."
Li Shui smiled and said, "I'm not worried. There are so many people joining me that I don't care about just one or two. Besides, some of those who oppose me will end well."
Li Shui raised his eyebrows and continued: "Besides, I have a death-free medal."
Master Qi rolled his eyes at Li Shui. He had long heard that Huaiguzi was rampant, but he didn't expect him to be so unscrupulous in front of me.
While several people were talking, Caitou had already prepared the food and brought it to them.
Li Xin looked at the four or five stir-fried dishes that were served, feeling quite happy and looking out the door.
Master Qi saw that Li Xin and Li Shui had no intention of moving their chopsticks, and seeing that Li Xin was still looking out the door, Master Qi guessed something and felt slightly embarrassed.
He looked at Li Xin and said, "General Li, this is all the food, there are no other dishes."
