These burnt bamboo tubes are no stranger to Mrs. Qin, Ma Qiao and the others. They are nothing more than bamboo tube rice. Li Qi has made them for them to eat before. But to these children, it is very strange and they are all stunned.

Looking at those bamboo tubes, his expression was very blank.

Li Qi glanced at them and split the bamboo tube with a knife. The moment the bamboo tube cracked, a fragrance of bamboo and rice spread out, and white rice mixed with shreds of minced meat appeared in front of everyone.

The seven children opened their mouths one after another, looking at the fragrant rice, and their saliva almost flowed all over the floor. Not to mention a lot, they had never eaten such white rice in their lives.

After Li Qi split the bamboo tube, he did not rush to hand it to the children. Instead, he used a wooden ladle to scoop out the fragrant soup from the soup pot and poured it on top of the rice. The steam was rising, and the rice was soaking in the hot soup.

Under the water, it makes a beautiful sizzling sound.

It was so greedy that those children almost swallowed their tongues and opened their eyes wide.

Li Qi then placed the remaining loaches on top of the rice, which made people salivate even more.

Li Qi smiled and said: "You can eat it, but be careful not to burn it."

The little kid suddenly reached out and took it out from his arms. After a while, he took out a lotus leaf bag. He opened the lotus leaf and saw a piece of black stuff inside, like a noodle cake.

But the noodles should not be so dark. The little boy put the black noodles aside and wrapped the bamboo tube with lotus leaves.

When the other children saw it, they followed suit and took out their lotus leaf bags from their arms.

Mrs. Qin was curious, picked up a piece of bread and asked, "What is this?"

Deng Zhong said: "Oh, this is our lunch."

"Lunch?"

Mrs. Qin looked shocked.

The little kid said vaguely: "Yeah, yeah, our parents have to work in the fields, so they make lunch in the evening and let us take it with us and take it out to eat when we are hungry."

No wonder they didn't go back at this time. No parents came to see them. Mrs. Qin asked again: "Then what is this made of?"

Li Qidao: "This is made with a small amount of glutinous rice and a large amount of wild vegetables."

Mrs. Qin said in surprise: "You also know?"

Li Qi nodded and said: "When I went to Fengxiang, I saw local people eating this. Because food is expensive, they can't afford white rice for a meal. You can go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables by yourself. This combination can save money."

It produces a lot of food and can fill your stomach, but it doesn’t last long.”

Mrs. Qin nodded slightly after hearing this. However, she could not speak. She only felt that there was a blockage in her throat.

Li Qi picked up the little boy's glutinous rice cake and said with a smile: "Boy, can I treat my elder brother to this glutinous rice cake?"

The little boy was surprised: "Brother, do you want to eat this?"

Li Qidao: "Of course, this is a delicacy that contains wisdom, and my eldest brother likes it very much."

The little kid hurriedly wiped his mouth and said very boldly: "Brother, just eat it. It's not enough. I still have it at home."

"Thank you then."

Li Qi quietly pushed his rice in front of the kid, then picked up the black glutinous rice cake and ate it.

Mrs. Qin saw it. She lowered her head slightly, with a smile on her lips. She also pushed her bamboo tube rice in front of the children. She took a little bit from the glutinous rice cake with her hands and put it into her mouth. It was not good at all.

It doesn't taste good, but it's good if you can swallow it. It's a little bitter, but I don't know if it's the bitterness of the tongue or the bitterness of the mind.

Ma Qiao and the coachman had already picked up the bamboo tube rice, but when they saw Li Qi and Mrs. Qin giving their bamboo tube rice to the children, they also gave their own bamboo tube rice to the children. He picked up the bamboo tube rice.

Started eating their glutinous rice and wild vegetable cakes.

If I didn't eat a bite, I had to drink a sip of water to swallow it.

Later, he followed Li Qi's example and soaked the cake in the soup for a while before eating it, and then he could barely eat it.

But as they ate this, several people felt quite unhappy!

And these children devoured the soup and rice voraciously, and in a short time, the pots of soup and tubes of rice were completely wiped out by them.

All of them look like old men, patting their round and round bellies, which makes them feel comfortable.

Li Qi asked with a smile: "How is it? Is it delicious?"

A group of children nodded vigorously. The little kid said: "Brother, the food you cooked is really delicious."

Mrs. Qin smiled and said: "He is ---."

"chef."

Li Qi said first that he was afraid that if his true identity was revealed, these children would be frightened.

Deng Zhong said: "Brother, you must be the chef of a big restaurant."

Li Qixiao asked: "Do you know about big restaurants?"

Deng Zhong chuckled and said, "I know a little bit."

Li Qidao: "Then tell me about those big restaurants in Tokyo."

Deng Zhongdao: "When it comes to our big restaurants in Tokyo, the number one one is Zuixianju."

Li Qi snorted and said, "But I heard that the first floor in Tokyo is Fan Tower."

"That was all in the past." Deng Zhong waved his hand and said: "Brother, eldest sister, have you ever heard of the Golden Knife Chef King?"

Mrs. Qin pursed her lips and said, "Of course I have heard of him. What, do you know him?"

"How can I not be so lucky?" Deng Zhong said: "But I heard people say that the Golden Knife Chef King is amazing. Even the emperor is full of praise for the dishes he cooks. There is also a brew made by the Golden Knife Chef King.

Unparalleled in the world, tsk tsk, just this name sounds so good. If I am lucky enough to have a sip, then this life will be enough. And I heard my father say that this Golden Knife Chef King is our great benefactor. Because of his reforms, our family

Only then will there be land for planting.”

Mrs. Qin smiled and said: "He is not as good as you said."

Deng Zhong asked curiously: "Sister, do you know the Golden Knife Chef King?"

Mrs. Qin said calmly: "It's not unusual to know him."

The little kid said excitedly: "Sister, can you tell me some stories about the Golden Knife Chef King?"

Mrs. Qin hummed softly: "What story does he have? He is a cunning fox. If he tells his story, I am afraid he will teach you bad things."

Damn it! You're just beating me around the bush to scold me! Li Qi said hurriedly: "Don't listen to her nonsense. I also know this Golden Knife Chef King. He is upright, personable, and talented. He serves the country and the people, and he is a chivalrous person."

The great one is an extraordinary person, and his story would probably take three days and three nights to tell."

Mrs. Qin and Ma Qiao both sneered at these words, how shameless did they have to be to say such things.

But those children said: "I believe what my eldest brother said. Our parents all say that the Golden Knife Chef King is a good official."

"Yes, yes, that's what the folks say."

"Sister, have you admitted the wrong person?"

.......

Li Qi held his mouth tightly after hearing this.

Seeing that these children seemed to be fighting for Li Qi's injustice, Mrs. Qin felt bitter in her heart. She had no choice but to say: "Maybe--maybe."

Li Qi couldn't help it anymore and burst out laughing.

The little kid asked curiously: "Brother, why are you laughing?"

Li Qi waved his hand and said: "I laugh at her for being such a big person, she can even admit her mistakes. She must have been deceived, what a smart person!"

After hearing this, the children covered their heads and started laughing.

This Li Qi was famous for his eloquence, but Mrs. Qin really couldn't fight him. She could only suffer the disadvantage of being dumb.

The little kid suddenly asked: "Brother, eldest sister, are you husband and wife?"

Mrs. Qin was stunned for a moment, then feigned anger and said: "Brother, don't talk nonsense."

This little kid's name is Deng Dadi, and he is Deng Zhong's cousin.

"Why are you so angry? Don't scare them." Li Qi glanced at Mrs. Qin dissatisfied, and then protected his eldest brother with one hand. He said with a smile: "Where did you start talking about this!"

Brother Deng looked at Mrs. Qin fearfully.

Li Qi hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, as big brother is here, you can just say it."

Brother Deng said: "I'm looking at how you and eldest sister look like, eldest brother."

"The man is talented and the woman is beautiful." Li Qi said immediately.

"Yes. That's why I asked."

Li Qi chuckled and said, "Boy, I can't tell you are young, but you are quite knowledgeable. I admire you very much."

Mrs. Qin stamped her feet anxiously and said: "Li---what are you talking nonsense about, chef? They are ignorant, you can't just follow their nonsense."

Li Qi suddenly sighed and said: "Brother, I originally thought that you guys are quite talented. If you cultivate them, you will definitely be able to become a general or prime minister in the future. I even want to pay for your education ---."

"Read---read?"

Deng Zhong and the other children looked at Li Qi with wide eyes.

Brother Deng said: "Brother, are you serious? You can let us study."
