"As a chef and as someone who was also born into a family of chefs, I absolutely understand what you were thinking at the time." Li Qi nodded again and again, and said: "However, the appearance of the crab roe banquet made you realize that the real opportunity has come. ”

Zhang Chun'er snorted and said: "Taishi Cai has always been a guest at the Four Kingdoms Banquet, and his evaluation is very important, although he was at home at the time, but I know that the emperor values him very much, especially in terms of eating, so if Taishi Cai helps, it will become much smoother." More importantly, I also heard that Mr. Zuo was looking for a successor. ”

Li Qi said: "So, you regard the crab roe banquet as a springboard for you to enter the imperial dining room. ”

Zhang Chun'er said: "Yes, I also did my best for this, but unfortunately because of your appearance, it fell short in the end." To tell you the truth, I was very unconvinced, I tasted your crab roe tofu, not my Zhang Chun'er said big words, the taste of your crab roe tofu is slightly inferior to my 'hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren', just because your dish is on the last, and the previous master has eaten more greasy dishes, so it can highlight the taste of your dish, but the most important thing is your remarks, otherwise, it is still unknown who will win. ”

Li Qi said with a smile: "Zhang Niangzi, you can't say that, your dish, isn't there also a suspicion of patting horses, but everyone chooses different directions, besides, since it is a competition, of course, it depends on their own ability, the result is that I won, and it is reasonable for me to win." ”

"I know that."

Zhang Chun'er nodded helplessly, changed her words, and said, "But this doesn't mean that I think your cooking skills are better than me, so I have always wanted to try it with you in a dignified manner." Later, when you entered the imperial dining room and participated in the Four Kingdoms Banquet on behalf of my Great Song Dynasty, I was even more annoyed in my heart. Because the qualification was originally mine. ”

Li Qi said: "I didn't know that the crab roe banquet still had such a meaning for you, but even if I knew, I still tried my best to win, because the crab roe banquet is also very important to me, besides, this matter has been a long time, and it is useless to say anything now." ”

"Yes! No amount of talk about it now will help. Zhang Chun'er nodded and said, "But I want to know." Why don't you fight me again? ”

Li Qi sighed and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you have hidden this question in your heart for a long time, but you should also know the answer, in fact, as the first chef in Tokyo, you are definitely qualified to compete with me, but don't you know that since you left Fan Lou, you have become my enemy, since you are an enemy." Of course I won't give you half a penny, and the more you want to compare with me, the less I will compare with you and deal with the enemy. I've never been merciful, even if it's a gesture. ”

"Sure enough."

Zhang Chun'er sighed lightly and said, "Do you also think that it was wrong for me to leave Fan Lou?" ”

Li Qi said: "I can't say accurately, but in my personal opinion. What you do is by no means correct, Old Man Fan has a life-saving grace and nurturing grace for you. Isn't it ungrateful for you to do that? ”

Zhang Chun'er asked rhetorically: "Mrs. Qin and Shopkeeper Wu of Drunken Immortal Residence also have the grace of saving your life and knowing the grace of encounter, but why don't you sell yourself to Drunken Immortal Residence for this kindness, why do you have to do everything you can to get fifty percent of the shares from Mrs. Qin's hands, and I am not afraid to sue you, I left Fan Lou, the biggest reason is that I was influenced by you." ”

Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself, if it were his character, I am afraid it would be difficult to be a chef in Fan Lou for a lifetime, and he hesitated for a moment before saying: "Judging from the current facts, Mrs. Qin and Uncle Wu have gained more, and Fan Lou has suffered heavy losses because of your departure, I think your example is difficult to be convincing." ”

"But that's just the way it is."

Zhang Chun'er said: "People go to high places, and water flows to low places. Before you appeared, I thought that a cook should stay in the kitchen for the rest of his life, but you told me that in fact, a cook can do a lot, and even better than the average person, and I see that you, as well as Cai Yuanwai, have become the richest businessmen in Tokyo, and you have even become officials, I wonder why I don't do it. If I don't change at this time, then I will have to stay in the kitchen for the rest of my life, and I am afraid that the end will be not much different from your former chef of Drunken Xianju, Master Zhou.

And in this regard, Fan Lou can't give it to me, because Old Man Fan will not allow anyone to take Fan Lou from Fan Shaobai's hands, I asked myself if I was not the opponent of Old Man Fan, so I chose to stand on my own, which I never felt anything wrong, as for Old Man Fan's kindness, I don't think it should be repaid with my life, then what is the meaning of my life, I have worked diligently in his Fan Lou for more than ten years, and it should be almost repaid. However, the death of Mr. Fan, unexpectedly, I could have left a long time ago, but Mr. Fan's health was not good at that time, so I waited until his health improved before leaving, but I didn't expect that he finally left. ”

I can't imagine that the starting point of the matter is still me. Li Qi thought about it and felt funny, and said: "Maybe what you said is very reasonable, no one likes to be subservient, but why did you write that letter, why did you want to collapse Fan Lou?" ”

Zhang Chun'er shook his head and said: "Regarding this point, I explained it a long time ago, my departure will definitely not be hidden from Old Man Fan, although Old Man Fan has already handed over most of the business to Fan Shaobai at that time, but the real helmsman is still him, so once I leave, someone will immediately go to sue Old Man Fan, rather than this, I might as well tell him in person and explain it to him clearly." As for the collapse of Fan Lou, I think this is similar to the relationship between your Drunken Immortal Residence and Jade Xuan, there is a way that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, since I have chosen to stand on my own, I must defeat Fan Lou, besides, Fan Shaobai will not let me go, it is inevitable that Jin Lou and Fan Lou will compete. ”

Li Qi suddenly glanced at Zhang Chun'er with slanted eyes, and said with a smile: "I believe that Cai Yuanwai and I are not the reason why you really left Fan Lou." ”

Zhang Chun'er smiled lightly and said, "This is what you care about the most, right?" ”

Li Qi nodded and said: "Although I am a little dissatisfied with your approach, but I can at least understand, I can't hide it, if Drunken Xianju refused to sell me shares at the beginning, I would also choose to leave, but the way may be different from yours, I will wait until the best time." But it doesn't matter, everyone has their own ideas, as long as they don't do things that hurt nature. However, the reason why you left was not simply to set up your own business, which is the main reason why I see you as an enemy. ”

Zhang Chun'er said: "Then how much do you know?" ”

Li Qi said: "Jin Guo." ”

Zhang Chun'er suddenly giggled.

Li Qi said: "What? Am I wrong? ”

Zhang Chun'er shook her head and said, "You're not wrong, I'm really helping you do things." ”

What trick is this woman playing? Te is also honest, does she want to persuade me to join Jinguo, no one should be so stupid as this! Li Qi said: "You are also half Han, are you not afraid of your conscience being condemned if you do this?" ”

Zhang Chun'er said: "But Jin Guo gave me what I wanted." Besides, only Jin Guo is willing to give me this qiē, do I have any other choice? Although the Jin State wiped out the Liao State, I didn't hate the Jin State at all, but I was very happy to see the Liao State perish, and it was best to kill Yelu Yanxi, the faint king. ”

Speaking of this, she restrained herself a little, and seemed unwilling to describe too much about this grievance, and returned to the topic. Said: "Just when I was extremely envious of you and your drunken immortal residence, my senior brother suddenly sent a letter to me, saying that he had become the imperial chef of the Jin Kingdom, and would come to Tokyo to participate in the Four Kingdoms Banquet. He also persuaded me to join Jinguo, but the reason that impressed me the most was that they would give me a restaurant. Among the seventy-two main stores in Tokyo. I know nothing better than Fan Lou's old rival Pan Lou, and I know it. Pan Yuanwai was pressed by Fan Lou and had already retreated, coupled with the rise of Drunken Xianju, he was already powerless, so I quietly bought Pan Lou from Pan Yuanwai, and gave him a sum of money that he could not earn in his life, on the condition that he leave Tokyo. ”

"You did hide from many people, including me." Li Qi recalled the scene at that time, and couldn't help sighing, he had never understood why the Jin Kingdom chose Zhang Chun'er, and what Zhang Chun'er was worthy of the trust of the Jin Kingdom, and now he finally knew that Zhang Chun'er was a Khitan, and he also had such a relationship with the Jin Kingdom's imperial chef. He added: "However, there is no free lunch in the world, and a restaurant may not be nothing to a country, but I believe that Jin Guo will not give it to you for no reason." ”

Zhang Chun'er said: "You are right, their requirements are simple and simple, and difficult to say, that is, let me find out a qiē near Tokyo, including the terrain, arming, and the situation of the forbidden army." ”

Li Qi said: "You did it. ”

Zhang Chun'er hesitated and said, "It should be said that I have done everything I can, but it can't be said that I have done it completely." ”

A trace of murderous intent flashed in Li Qi's eyes, and he said lightly: "It seems that Jin Guo is very satisfied with you, who is a fine performer." ”

Zhang Chun'er smiled: "So to speak. ”

Li Qi said: "I believe that when you learn about this qiē, you should also know what Jin Guo wants to do, right?" ”

Zhang Chun'er nodded and said: "What they said is so clear, how could I not know, obviously, the Jin Kingdom was planning to attack the Great Song Dynasty at that time." Maybe you don't know a little, in fact, this incident has nothing to do with Su Shilie Bohe, who came to Beijing at that time, he was not involved in the whole thing, and there was someone else behind the scenes. ”

Li Qi already had the answer in his heart, but he still asked, "If you don't mind, I'd love to know?" ”

"It's the second prince of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Zongwang." Zhang Chun'er said.

Sure enough, it's this guy, he's been planning for so long, no wonder he can't wait now. Li Qi said: "It turned out to be him!" This is not surprising. ”

Speaking of this, he raised his eyes to look at Zhang Chun'er and said, "Talking and talking, you are confused about me, why do you want to sue me for this?" Do you want me to take refuge in the Jin Kingdom, if that's the case, then I can only say that I am very disappointed in you, and besides, I am an official of the Great Song Dynasty, do you think it is possible for you to get out of here after you confess? ”

Zhang Chun'er smiled: "Do you think I will do such a stupid thing?" ”

Li Qi shook his head and said, "No, so I'm very curious about it." ”

Zhang Chun'er said: "The economy makes you smart, can't you guess it at all?" ”

Li Qi sincerely asked: "It's not that I'm pretending to be low-key, I really don't have a clue about the purpose of your trip, and I ask Mrs. Zhang for advice." ”

This is a big truth, he still doesn't understand Zhang Chun'er's intentions.

"I'm really proud to be able to keep the economy at a loss." Zhang Chun'er smiled and said, "Actually, the reason is very simple. It is that the Jin Kingdom is already preparing to enter the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Li Qi frowned and said, "This reason is really unique, I would like to hear about it." ”

Zhang Chun'er said: "This time, the envoy of the Jin State came to Beijing, and by the way, he brought me a letter, in which he told me that in no more than three months, the Jin State would send troops to attack the Great Song Dynasty, so that I could prepare for internal response." ”

Li Qi said: "Did the letter also say that you should sue me for this qiē?" ”

"Of course not."

Zhang Chun'er smiled: "Coming to you is my own meaning." ”

Li Qi frowned and said, "That is." You have betrayed the Kingdom of Jin. ”

Zhang Chun'er nodded and said, "I can't say that, because I haven't returned to the Jin Kingdom all along." ”

"Why?"

"I've already said why."

Li Qi let out a surprised sigh, pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm really sorry, I'm stupid, I don't know what the reason you said?" ”

Zhang Chun'er said with a smile: "As I said earlier, the main reason why I agreed to Jin Guo was because Jin Guo gave me a restaurant and let me stand on my own. I didn't take the initiative to help Jin Guo, I hated Liao Guo the most, but compared to Jin Guo, I have more feelings for the Great Song Dynasty. For two years. I have been taking care of the Golden Building seriously, not using the Golden Building as a front to do some unsightly things. Today, the Golden Tower has been able to stand at the same height as the Drunken Immortal Residence and Fan Tower. I don't deny that Jin Guo has helped me a lot, but I have also given a lot myself. And. Your change has brought more benefits to us businessmen, I like the current environment, I don't want anyone to destroy this environment, and most importantly, I want to get rid of the Jin Kingdom and become the real master of the Golden Building, not a puppet.

However, the Jin Kingdom wanted to attack the Great Song Dynasty, and once the Great Song Dynasty was destroyed, with the barbaric style of the Jurchen people, they did not know what commerce was at all, and then my efforts would be in vain. ”

"I see." Li Qi nodded, thinking to himself, this woman's ambition is really not ordinary, I really underestimated her. smiled: "I'm afraid that Wanyan Zong can't even imagine that he will be played with by a woman, I have to say, I really admire your courage now, you first used the Jin Kingdom to get rid of Fan Lou and got the Golden Tower, and now you want to repeat the old tricks, use the Great Song Dynasty to help you get rid of the Jin Kingdom, completely own the Golden Building, and be able to do it easily between the two big countries, I am afraid that you are really the first person." However, have you ever thought about the success or failure of this war, you are only a small factor, not playing a decisive role, in case, the Jin country still wins the final victory, what kind of situation will you face? ”

"Of course I thought about it, in fact, before I came to you, I also struggled for a long time, but if I hadn't come to you, I wouldn't be Zhang Chun'er." Zhang Chun'er said with a resolute face: "Maybe in your opinion, I am a two-faced and ungrateful villain, but in my opinion, I am just fighting for what I want, and it has always been like this, and it has never changed." ”

"Yes, although on the surface, you are constantly changing camps, but your ideas, your purpose has never wavered, or the direction of your efforts has never changed." Li Qi nodded and said: "Actually, you should still have one thing you haven't said, that is, I will never tolerate you living until the Jin soldiers come to Tokyo, you came this time, so far, you have saved half your life." ”

Zhang Chun'er disagreed, and said: "Although I am a woman, I am not so stupid that I don't even leave a way back for myself, maybe you think that I am already unable to fly, but if I want to go, you can't keep it at all." ”

It seems that I don't know enough about her! Li Qi frowned slightly when he heard this, if he let Zhang Chun'er escape, it would really be the biggest humiliation for him, because he always thought that all the qiē was under his control, but unfortunately it didn't seem to be the case. Said: "But now, you seem to have blocked this way of life, why are you sure that now I will leave your life." ”

Zhang Chun'er said: "When I came to you, it has already proved that I have let it go." I guess I have some use value for you, and besides, I'm still your savior. ”

"Yes, I almost forgot that you were my savior, by the way, why did you save me? You can't think that I am the savior of the Great Song Dynasty at that time. ”

"Of course not, I saved you because there is still a battle between us that is not finished. At that time, I didn't think about such a long term. ”

Li Qi expressed his deep belief in her words, because it was all time, and there was no need for her to hide her need. Said: "But your sincerity is not enough for me to give up the idea of killing you." ”

Zhang Chun'er smiled: "I can sue you for a qiē you want to know, but first, you have to agree to a few requests from me." ”

Li Qi said: "If I don't agree." ”

"Then I'm not here."

"It's impossible, I can't do it."

"Then whatever you want. But I dare say you'll regret it then. ”

"Are you threatening me?"

"It's not a threat, I'm just talking to you about business. It's impossible for you to get what you want without giving at all, this is not what a businessman should do, of course I am here for a purpose. ”

Li Qi was silent for a moment and said, "Say it." ”

Zhang Chun'er smiled slightly and said, "Actually, my requirements are very simple, first of all, of course, you must promise to save my life and the one I have now; Secondly, you have to try your hand at cooking with me. At last. At the next Four Kingdoms Banquet, I will participate on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"I promise you."

Zhang Chun'er was stunned for a moment and said, "Why did you agree so refreshedly." ”

Li Qi said: "You said that your request is very simple, so do I have any reason to refuse?" And you don't seem to give me room to bargain, did I say leave you half a life? As for the cooking competition, I actually don't mind all along, just because you're helping Jin Guo. Now that you have taken refuge in the Great Song Dynasty, of course I am willing, finally. The Four Nations Banquet has lost its novelty to me, and you went to participate in it, and it saved me a lot of trouble. ”

Zhang Chun'er hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "I believe in you." As she spoke, she took out two documents from her arms, put them on the table, and said, "Here is a list of all the detailed works of the Jin Kingdom in Tokyo, in addition, there is also a strategic map of the recent deployment of your forbidden army. ”

"Awesome, you got it so quickly."

"Take, take." Zhang Chun'er smiled proudly and said: "There is another secret, which is also my last way back, I believe this can also show my sincerity." You should know that after I became the proprietor of the Golden Building, I immediately built another building near the Golden Building. ”

Li Qi was stunned for a moment and said, "I know, is there anything unusual about that building?" ”

Zhang Chun'er said: "Of course, because there is a tunnel downstairs that leads directly to the outside of the city, this tunnel can also make me disappear in the capital unconsciously, and in addition, it may also help Jin Jun a lot in the future." ”

Dog, I didn't expect there to be a tunnel war this year. Li Qi heard it in a cold sweat and said, "Thank God, you finally chose Da Song." ”

Zhang Chun'er said: "I have told you everything I know, and I hope you can keep your promise." ”

Li Qi said: "You believe me, just by my words, you will tell you everything." ”

Zhang Chun'er said: "This may be because I was influenced by Old Man Fan, since I have planned to do this, then I don't plan to give myself room to maneuver, if you want to repent, even if you give me more assurances, you can still regret it, this is something I can't control, what I want to do, I can only believe you." ”

Li Qi praised from the bottom of his heart: "It seems that your success is not accidental." As he spoke, he picked up the two documents and looked at them, and the more he looked down, the more his brows moved closer to the middle, as if he was thinking about something.

Although Zhang Chun'er's face did not change, dense beads of sweat were already oozing from her forehead, to be honest, she couldn't figure out Li Qi's character, she was also very afraid, Li Qi would regret it and let her die without a place to be buried.

After a long while, Li Qi suddenly raised his eyelids and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you just finished talking about Yan Zongwang's letter, so you want you to continue to do internal response." ”

Zhang Chun'er was stunned for a moment and said, "Not bad." ”

Li Qi said: "In other words, he doesn't know that I have already discovered that you are a fine work of the Jin Kingdom?" ”

Zhang Chun'er said: "This is my only use value, how can I let him know, of course, this is also thanks to the fact that you didn't do anything excessive, and you still treated me equally." ”

Li Qi said: "I didn't expect that my temporary forbearance could achieve such an effect." But one thing that makes me curious is that you also seem to have some power in the DPRK. ”

Zhang Chun'er was stunned for a moment and said, "You don't think this is the credit of Jin Guo." ”

"Truth be told, I've always thought so."

Zhang Chun'er shook her head and said, "Of course not, it is impossible for Jin Guo to expose our relationship." ”

"Oh? So how do you do it? ”

"Money." Zhang Chun'er said: "I gave them a lot of money, and the targets I rely on are all your opponents, they have no reason to refuse me, in order to hide my relationship with the Jin State, I also borrowed your economic construction, and used several ministers in the DPRK to 'get acquainted' with several nobles of the Jin State, of course, this was all arranged earlier, so that our exchanges are logical." ”

"I see, I'm so stupid, I didn't even think of it." Li Qi shook his head depressedly, and suddenly handed back the strategic map.

Zhang Chun'er was surprised: "What do you mean by this?" ”

It turns out that you still know how good you are to be afraid. Li Qi said: "You have shown so much sincerity to me, of course I want to repay some to you, have you ever thought that the key to your success is not me, but whether the Great Song Dynasty can win, if the Jin Kingdom wins, then it doesn't matter whether I keep my promise or not, it doesn't matter, so I give you a chance to be able to meet both sides, so that you can be invincible." ”

Zhang Chun'er frowned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

The corners of Li Qi's mouth hooked, and he said, "It's very simple, you continue to be the internal response of the Jin Kingdom." ”

Zhang Chun'er was stunned for a moment, then understood, and said, "I think this is the reason why you let me live." ”

Li Qi shook his head and said: "I can't say that, I am a person who keeps my promises, even if you don't agree, I won't embarrass you, of course, before this qiē is over, I will still give you special care, God knows, this is not a trick by you and Wanyan Zongwang, don't blame me for being careful, because this battle, I really can't afford to lose." ”
