While Qi Xiaotong was persuading Huang Fei, Qi Dalang was also doing the ideological work of the Shi brothers.
He said that he would like to invite the two of them to accompany him to the north to do something big.
Of course, the reason for the external announcement was to send the wedding officiant to hide it from others.
The Shi brothers did not have much resistance to returning to their old business, because this was a sincere invitation from Mr. Qi.
At worst, I'll wash my hands in a golden basin again after the incident. That way, wouldn't I feel at ease?
However, they were very worried about the restaurant business after leaving.
This deal is their entire property. If there are any ups and downs, ups and downs, they will be in trouble for the rest of their lives.
"Master Qi, do you think our restaurant can still operate without the owner?"
"Of course! In fact, this matter is very easy to handle. Wouldn't it be stable if I asked my brother-in-law to come over and take care of it? With his current connections, he might be able to help you attract a lot of high-spending customers."
"I'm worried about the accounts..."
"What's wrong with the accounts? Let him supervise it by the way. You can definitely make sure that everything is fine."
Although Qi Yu said it very firmly, the Shi brothers were still very uneasy.
To be a shopkeeper is something that no one without great courage would dare to do.
"I still feel that this business cannot be left unchecked..."
"Let me tell you, even if there is no shopkeeper, the business of the restaurant can still be prosperous! If you don't believe it, look at our current Dafeng Dynasty. Even the emperor has been lost, why can't it still operate as usual? A country can be without a king, but this restaurant of yours And why can’t we leave the shopkeeper temporarily?”
right!
Mr. Qi's point of view is unique. Just one word can hit the core!
In this way, the Shi brothers were convinced by the facts of the example.
Generally speaking, today's banquet raised the festive atmosphere, and at the same time, it also successfully created the apparent motivation to go north.
If coupled with the follow-up report by "Qiongzhou Daily", all parties should have no reason not to believe it.
After the banquet, Qi Yu made a special trip to the capital government office to arrange his political policy after leaving.
In fact, these things were no longer a waste for him to worry about. Yu Hai, who was the governor of Qiongzhou at one time, was basically there, and everything was done properly without any mistakes.
However, he still warned him deliberately.
If things change and they are dragged into a stalemate and cannot return as scheduled, they can make arrangements according to their own long-term ideas.
After talking about political affairs, Qi Yu started talking about his own personal matters.
At this point, Peng Wenchang said with great regret: "Logically speaking, as a teacher, I must go over to Xiaotong's wedding to have a few glasses of wedding wine, but I have no choice but to be busy with business and can't go with him. Think about it." What a pity in life!”
After a pause, he added: "Actually, it's not just me, even old Luo Yuan is a little bit worried about it."
Qi Yu enlightened: "Master, don't worry about this. I will definitely let you drink to your heart's content during the homecoming banquet in the future. At that time, I will also donate my treasured daughter's red for you to enjoy."
"Your daughter is red? To tell you the truth, I've been craving it for a long time!"
"If you are happy in life, you must have all the fun, and don't let the golden bottle stand empty against the moon..."
After a few words of haha, Peng Wenchang said with emotion: "I think back then, when I first met Xiaotong to enlighten her, she was still an ignorant child with a tooth change. Now, time flies, and she has grown up in the blink of an eye. Think about it. It’s really sad. Wow, he died like this, day and night!”
Yu Hai also sighed: "Not only the eldest lady, but also Mr. Qi has changed from a handsome young man to the upright and upright person he is now. As for us, we have begun to enter our twilight years."
Tan Junyan quickly made a stop gesture and said with a smile: "Why are you so pessimistic on this big day? Let's talk about more festive things!"
Seeing several people nodding, he continued: "At the eldest lady's wedding, the Queen Mother sent someone to send a gift of a box. Such kindness made even the entire Qiongzhou feel honored. In my opinion, we should do something in return. At the very least, it is only etiquette to send some wedding candies."
"Well, that's what it should be!" Qi Yu nodded first, and then gave instructions: "The candies given can be gifted with 'boned abalone'."
"Why is this?"
"This candy is said to have a variety of flavors. Different people can taste different flavors. I think it is very suitable."
"Uh, this..."
Bone-in abalone is made by mixing cheese, honey, and cane sugar and solidifying them, then pressing it on the plate while squeezing and turning it, and finally forms a small snack with a round bottom and a sharp top, with a clear texture. It is named because its shape is similar to that of a snail.
In recent years, Qiongzhou merchants have combined elements such as tangerine peel and mint to form a variety of special flavors.
It is precisely because of the addition of these small ingredients that different tastes can be presented to different people's tastes.
So, what does this candy taste like?
Overall, not bad.
It is said in "Jin Ping Mei" that Li Ping'er is good at making bone-in abalone conches. Wen Xiucai commented, "It comes from the Western Regions and is not found in the world." It nourishes the lungs and harmonizes the heart, and is a delicious taste. Earl Ying also vividly described it: "The stripes on his head are like snails, pink and pure white." After Li Ping'er died, Ximen Qing no longer had this good fortune. When he saw the boned abalone shell again, he couldn't help but think about the object and feel doubly sad.
It can be seen that this kind of candy is not only delicious and refreshing, but also has a good reputation.
As a tribute, how could it be too bad?
Several people praised this gift, but they didn't know that Qi Dalang had other intentions.
The name of this candy contains the word "abao", and the heart of abalone is smelly, so there is always an uncomfortable irony in giving this as a gift.
And when you really put it in your mouth, you feel that it has a variety of flavors, both sweet and bitter, and its taste is so complex that it is difficult to describe.
only the guy drinking water knows it's cold or hot.
Qi Yu took this gift as a hint to Su Liu: Do you choose to have a good reputation in future generations? Or choose to be infamy for eternity, it all depends on you.
If we want to keep our name, we must promote social system reform to respond to the general trend.
If we go against the grain, we will definitely be like an abalone and be recorded as ugly by the historians.
Qi Yu believed that with her wisdom and wit, she would be able to taste the hidden meaning.
Now she is asking for something from us. If we don't take the opportunity to hammer it out, wouldn't it be a waste of a good opportunity?
alright!
This meeting is over, and it’s time for me, Qi Dalang, to go home and spend more time with my wife and children.
"Everyone, please take care, Qi has taken his leave!"
"I wish Master Qi a safe journey!"
Qi Yu waved his hand and left calmly.
