The table was laden with a large spread of dishes.

Stewed old hen with bamboo fungus, braised eel, braised loach, stir-fried cured pork with wild scallions, and the remaining dishes were made into cold dishes.

Li Chunyan poured everyone a glass of wine: "Thank you all, please don't mind the simple food."

"Delicious!" The two henchmen stared at the dish, swallowing hard, completely unaware of what Li Chunyan was saying.

Ji Zhi kicked the two men, and only then did they come to their senses, raising their wine glasses in return: "Thank you for the treat!"

"Everyone, please order whatever you like." As soon as Li Chunyan spoke, everyone eagerly put down their wine glasses and picked up their chopsticks to eat.

tasty!

This is delicious, and that is delicious too!

With a piece of chicken stuffed in her mouth, the plump aunt mumbled, "Chunyan, your cooking is even better than the food at Kelai Restaurant."

The others nodded repeatedly, not daring to speak, for fear that this delay would cause them to miss out on a bite of food.

The table full of dishes was quickly emptied, and not a single grain of rice was left in the meter-high steamer.

Li Chunyan said apologetically, "I didn't cook enough dishes today, so I'll cook some noodles for everyone."

Ji Zhi waved his hands repeatedly: "I'm full, I'm full."

As if to prove he was telling the truth, Ji Zhi let out a burp.

His two men instinctively clutched their stomachs, which were bulging.

Ji Zhi felt a little embarrassed; he had been too out of line today.

But it's not his fault, the food was just too delicious today.

Kelai Restaurant was already his number one restaurant, and now he felt that if the seasonings were more complete, Li Chunyan's cooking skills would be number one.

Especially her cured pork and kimchi, they were so delicious they were like the creations of a culinary master.

Ji Zhi suggested, "Chunyan, it's such a waste that your kimchi is only supplied to Kelai Restaurant. You should develop it into your own brand."

The collaboration with Kelai Restaurant was the biggest business deal Li Chunyan had ever done; she knew absolutely nothing about brand management.

However, she is quite humble and will take the initiative to ask for help and learn when she doesn't understand something.

Ji Zhi had never done business before, so he only shared what he knew. Worried that he might say something wrong, he spoke frankly: "I think you can consult Miss Bai about business matters."

"good."

Ji Zhi's words were like a seed planted in Li Chunyan's heart, which quickly took root and sprouted.

If we can really build our own brand, then we'll make money quickly.

Even if Zhang Dan's mental illness cannot be cured, he can still be guaranteed a life of comfort and security in his next life.

Aunt Pang's house had a room, so Ji Zhi and the other two squeezed onto one bed to sleep.

Ji Zhi sensed something was wrong. His two men kept their distance from him, as if they were afraid of being touched by him.

However, he didn't think much of it and closed his eyes to fall into a deep sleep.

Only when they heard his even snoring did the two henchmen dare to open their eyes.

"Didn't you see how obsequious the boss was today? He even served food to Zhang Fan. I suspect there's something really wrong with him."

"Having been with the boss for so many years, I've never seen him be so attentive to anyone except Boss Zhao. Besides being good-looking, Zhang Fan is also said to be an idiot. If there's nothing fishy going on, why would he treat Zhang Fan this well?"

Fortunately, Ji Zhi was asleep, otherwise he would have been furious if he had heard those words.

Who is Zhang Fan? Not only is he a highly skilled doctor, but he can also fight. Who wouldn't want to be so popular with him?

Let alone him, even if Zhao Lin came, he would do more, not less.

Zhang Fan slept very well tonight, but someone else couldn't sleep.

Every time Chen Yao closes her eyes, she sees Zhang Fan massaging her.

The image of warm, calloused hands kept appearing in her mind.

She didn't want to think about these things, but she couldn't control herself.

Gradually, a long-lost feeling returned to her body, like ripples suddenly spreading across a stagnant pool.

Chen Yao gripped the blanket tightly with her fingers, biting her lower lip, tossing and turning on the bed like a pancake, until she finally fell asleep just before dawn.

The next day, before dawn, Ji Zhi woke up his two men and went to Zhang Fan's yard. Just as Zhang Fan was about to pick up a basket, Ji Zhi rushed over and stopped him, putting the basket on his own back: "Let me do it, let me do it."

Li Chunyan said apologetically, "You've already helped so much yesterday, let's skip it today."

Ji Zhi pointed to the kimchi jars in the kitchen: "There are so many of these, it would take you several trips to carry them all by yourselves."

Aunt Pang and her husband also arrived: "We have nothing to do today, let us help you move."

Ji Zhi's two men also came to help, each carrying two jars, and they finished distributing all the kimchi jars.

As soon as she carried it down the mountain and put it away, Bai Rou'er drove the Chang'an truck.

This is a truck specially used by Kelai Restaurant to transport goods. The back seat has been removed, and it holds just the right amount of a dozen or so jars of pickled vegetables.

Ji Zhi and the others moved the kimchi onto the Chang'an cart and secured it with hemp rope.

Bai Rou'er glanced at Zhang Fan and gave him a perfunctory greeting. Ji Zhi's eyes flashed with surprise. Why were the two of them pretending not to know each other now?

However, he quickly realized that it was probably because they didn't want to expose their relationship.

He looked smug; it seemed that Doctor Zhang considered him one of his own, and hadn't even kept this from him.

The fact that he was asked for help shows that Doctor Zhang considers him one of his own.

No one else has received this honor, so we must treat Dr. Zhang even better in the future.

What he didn't know was that Zhang Fan just wanted free labor.

Li Chunyan: "It's so early in the morning, and you're already navigating the mountain road. It's so dangerous."

Bai Rou'er: "We don't have enough manpower right now. After this busy period, I'll hire an assistant to manage this matter."

The kimchi tasted great and received unanimous praise from customers.

Li Chunyan wanted to ask Bai Rou'er for advice on doing business, but she was hesitant because she worried that it might affect Bai Rou'er's business. She didn't dare to ask and looked a little awkward.
