Chapter 19 The fish pond was built, and she seemed to be conquered...

In the last two years under Yan Si's command, Ji Qingzhi also realized her attitude towards herself, but she always wanted to fight for it. After all, her sunk cost was too high. How could she easily give up the obsession that started at the age of seventeen? She thought, if she persisted a little longer, what if she could do better? Then Qin Xiaoxiao would be able to see her when she turned on the TV. Unfortunately, things always went against her wishes.

After sending the recording to the person on the other end, Ji Qingzhi shook her head, forbidding herself to think any further. She glanced at the message from the other end asking her to send the card number, and curled the corners of her lips, "No need, I'll give it to you." 】

Zhu Xinyu's free publicity today is the best reward. Next time they come, she will not receive them again. Thinking of this, her eyes fell on the vegetable field over there. The small cabbages planted by the old season were growing well after several rounds of irrigation with well water.

She didn't want people she hated to eat such food with vitality, but as for Yun Xiangrong, she could send more food to her when she was filming in the future.

When she stood up, the familiar mechanical voice sounded again: "Building a fish pond will reward you with 2,000 points."

Two thousand points! ! ! The temptation of these four words is greater than anything else. Ji Qingzhi changed direction and began to observe back and forth in the backyard, choosing the best location for the fish pond.

After ten minutes of consideration, Ji Qingzhi planned to build a fish pond next to the vegetable garden. To build it was actually too serious, she could just dig a hole and use well water. Thinking of this, she ran directly to the tool shed to get a hoe. Five minutes later, sweat was dripping down Ji Qingzhi's face. She reached out and wiped the sweat, thinking, some money really needs to be earned by others. Fortunately, the land next to the vegetable garden was big enough for her to dig a deep pit.

In the past, Old Ji loved to sit in the backyard and bask in the sun. At that time, Ji Qingzhi hoped most that the city planning and demolition would quickly include their area. Their house was so large, so they would definitely get a lot of compensation. At that time, she could not understand the significance of this place to Old Ji.

In just five minutes, Ji Qingzhi's palms were already rubbed red by the hoe handle. She glanced at the soil she had just dug and thought, forget it, she should find a way to get an excavator in tomorrow. Technology should be applied in these areas to truly benefit the people.

There were more customers in the front hall, and Aunt Liu smiled and apologized to them: "Sorry, we are out of ingredients today."

Yes, today, because of Zhu Xinyu’s live broadcast, all the ingredients in the store were sold out. Of course, this is also related to the fact that they didn’t prepare much.

Aunt Liu can leave work early today, and the same goes for Ji Qingzhi. She closed the shop early. She went to Aunt Li's house specifically to ask for the excavator master's contact information. She was too weak and had to ask for help from outside.

Aunt Li was a little surprised: "What do you want to dig?"

"There's a lot of space behind the vegetable garden. I plan to dig a small fish pond, which will be more convenient." Ji Qingzhi said truthfully.

"It just so happens that your Uncle Li's nephew is doing this. I'll ask him to come over tomorrow and dig a few shovels for you." Aunt Li agreed readily.

"Then I'll trouble you, Aunt Li." Ji Qingzhi thanked her warmly.

"What's the big deal? Actually, your father wanted to dig that fish pond more than 20 years ago, but your mother didn't let him, saying that it would smell fishy." Aunt Li said with some emotion. After she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong, and she hurriedly looked at Ji Qingzhi.

Ji Qingzhi looked calm, but his tone was a little surprised: "So my dad has the same idea?"

"Everyone loved eating fish at that time, so it would be more convenient to have a fish pond," Aunt Li guessed.

"Indeed, it would be more convenient to have a fish pond." Ji Qingzhi guessed that the next step of this task of the system would be to raise fish.

After the fish pond issue was settled, Ji Qingzhi returned to the Ji family courtyard. She planned to plant something around the fish pond, but she had not yet decided what to plant, so she simply opened her mobile phone to search for any good suggestions on the Internet.

It was at this time that she saw Zhu Xinyu on the hot search again, and this time the hot search actually focused on her. She glanced at the hot comments that were pushed to the top.

Butterfly Effect: As expected, Ji Qingzhi had something else in his words today. I hope Xinyu’s fans are happy now. You asked for a hammer and you got it.

The recording that Ji Qingzhi gave to the marketing account was of Zhu Xinyu beating and scolding her assistant. She remembered that at that time, the business she had negotiated was snatched away by a rival company when the contract was signed. She was hysterical and scolding her assistant, treating her assistant as a rival.

Of course, in addition to the recording, she also has a video. She is just waiting for Zhu Xinyu to deny it. By then, the video will be proof enough to prove it.

Honestly speaking, if it weren't for Yan Si and the others pressing her step by step, she really wouldn't have thought of releasing these things now. After all, she has already retired from the circle, and her real job is to work hard to earn points so that Old Ji can wake up as soon as possible. It's a pity that they insisted on doing this.

This is the prime time period and netizens have all gotten off work, so the popularity is still rising. I think Zhu Xinyun's opponents have also taken action. After all, if they don't step on her now, when will they?

She continued to search for plants suitable for the fish pond in a good mood. As soon as the page popped up, Zhu Xinyu called. When the ringing sounded for the second time, she slowly pressed the answer button. As soon as the call was connected, Zhu Xinyu's voice came from the other end: "Ji Qingzhi, you did it, didn't you?"

"What are you talking about? I don't understand." Ji Qingzhi thought, everyone can pretend to be innocent. After all, when it comes to pretending to be innocent, she, Zhu Xinyu, is the originator.

"You were the one who released the recording, right?" Zhu Xinyu pressed. She couldn't believe it was such a coincidence. She had just said those words during the day and the recording was released in the evening. At this moment, Zhu Xinyu was full of regret. She regretted that she had agreed to Yan Si's request and went to Ji's restaurant.

"You think too much. If I had this thing, I should have released it when I was being hacked." Ji Qingzhi denied.

"If not you, who else could it be?" Zhu Xinyu couldn't help but ask.

Ji Qingzhi couldn't help but chuckled when he heard this, and said in a light tone: "How should I know? Who knows who you have offended, or maybe you need to do the role I played back then. Now there are younger people, right?"

Although Ji Qingzhi didn't say it explicitly, both of them understood that the youngest person she was referring to was Song Panyan. Zhu Xinyu herself knew very well how she had stepped on Ji Qingzhi to get to the top. If the roles were exchanged now, Song Panyan would step on her to get to the top. Thinking of this possibility, Zhu Xinyu quickly shook her head. No, she would never be Song Panyan's stepping stone.

Seeing that her goal was achieved, Ji Qingzhi hung up the phone in a good mood. She didn't believe that once there was suspicion and rift, would Zhu Xinyu still trust Yan Si so much?

Compared to Ji Qingzhi's good mood, Zhu Xinyu was a little flustered at this time. She went to Yan Si for public relations. What she meant was that, just like before, she wanted to find someone to take the blame for herself, but she was directly rejected by Yan Si.

"Why?" Zhu Xinyu thought of Ji Qingzhi's words just now, and her eyes turned cold. As expected, is she going to sacrifice herself for Song Panyan now?

"How do you know that the other party doesn't have the video? Once you deny it, what about the video? Why were you so careless at that time?" At the end, Yan Si's tone was a little angry. She had reminded Zhu Xinyu many times before that she should control her emotions, and if she couldn't control it, she shouldn't let others find out.

"But if I admit it, what should I do next?" Workplace bullying has been a hot topic recently. Once she admits it, her career will be affected.

"Ask your assistant to clarify with you, saying that you had just finished filming and were still in the role, and that your apology should be sincere." Yan Si rubbed her brows after she finished speaking. Apart from this, she really couldn't think of a better way.

"Okay." Zhu Xinyu hung up the phone, feeling somewhat desperate. She had just signed a new contract with Yan Si last year. It seemed that she had no other choice but to respond to this matter in her own way.

Yan Si is still persistently contacting the marketing account that first broke the news. She wants to know where the recording in his hand came from. Like Zhu Xinyu, she suspects that it was Ji Qingzhi's doing. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but snorted and looked at her assistant: "What do Xinghui and Canyu say?"

"They didn't give a clear answer, but they should be reconsidering Ji Qingzhi's value." The assistant felt that the contract originally prepared might be downgraded. After all, they are businessmen, not doing charity.

After looking at the search page for half an hour, Ji Qingzhi finally decided to plant water lilies in the fish pond and roses in the corner beside the fish pond. Before putting down her phone, she glanced at the hot searches. Zhu Xinyu responded, but she was too lazy to click on it. Instead, the marketing account contacted her again and asked if there was a video version.

Ji Qingzhi [The video version is at a different price. 】

She didn't have the habit of always being a good person, so the other party agreed readily. Ji Qingzhi also gave the other party a card number and sent the video over.

The marketing account originally wanted to judge the other party's information through the bank card number. Yes, Yan Si took the initiative to contact him and wanted to get the information of the whistleblower, but none of them expected that the card number given by the other party was actually the public account of a mountain school, which directly shattered all their calculations.

Ji Qingzhi didn't expect that this time she would be able to cause Zhu Xinyu and Yan Si to break up. After taking a look at the transfer receipt sent by the marketing account, she blocked the other party and directly cancelled the account.

The video was bought back by Yan Si, and she looked at Zhu Xinyu. His tone was full of regret: "Be more careful, I don't want this to happen again."

The most powerful person in her hand now is Zhu Xinyu. Song Panyan is simply a hopeless person. She has been given so many good resources and arranged for her to take advantage of Qin Wang's traffic, but she is still lukewarm. Yan Si has a headache.

"I understand, Sister Yan." Zhu Xinyu lowered her eyes. She just realized that she had actually arranged for Song Panyan and Qin Wang to be a couple, when it was obvious that she was a more suitable match. She had actually already begun to allocate resources to Song Panyan. She couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

The video was bought out, and Zhu Xinyu and her assistant clarified that it was just a misunderstanding. A large number of fans controlled the comments, and the situation was under control. But as she thought, she couldn't just sit there and wait for death. After all, Yan Si had already sided with Song Panyan, and she had to find a way out herself. She lowered her eyes and looked at Ji Qingzhi's number on her phone. After hesitating, she dialed the number again.

But this time, the phone rang and it sounded like the other party was on a call. This happened twice in a row. Zhu Xinyu knew that she had been blocked, and she was so angry that she threw the phone away. The assistant who heard the noise rushed over. Zhu Xinyu suppressed the urge to curse and said, "Clean up this place."

That night, the hot searches were extremely lively. At the same time, Ji Qingzhi slept soundly. Since returning to the Ji family courtyard, her daily routine has become more and more normal.

Today is the weekend, and Boulevard is busier than usual. When Ji Qingzhi got up, Aunt Liu had already gone to the market to buy ingredients. Ji Qingzhi was a little surprised: "So early today?"

"The market is crowded on weekends, so I go early," Aunt Liu explained.

"Yeah, there will be a lot of people on the weekend, so let's prepare the braised food early today." Ji Qingzhi said as he started to organize the ingredients. The ingredients ordered today are a little more than yesterday. Thinking about the fact that the pakchoi in Lao Ji's vegetable garden in the backyard are ripe, there is no need to order green vegetables tomorrow.

Aunt Liu skillfully took out the chicken wings and chicken feet to melt the ice and soak them in water. The ingredients were usually prepared by Ji Qingzhi so that she could prepare today's dishes in advance.

Huang Jing brought Huang Yaya to stay at Uncle Wu's homestay again. Huang Yaya looked around curiously: "Is Ji Qingzhi's restaurant nearby?"

"Yes, it's not far from here." Coming here again, Huang Jing actually felt a sense of familiarity.

"Then we can go have lunch later." Huang Yaya said, then she looked down at the group chat on her phone, and then sent a message in, "Sisters, how is the food at Ji Qingzhi Restaurant? You can find out by downloading it. 】

Hill Fleur: @Elegant Life, are you going?

Elegant Life: Yes, I just happened to be here to play, so I went to find out.

Hill Fleur: Waiting for your feedback.

Soon this sentence was flooded on the screen. Huang Yaya curled the corners of her lips, replied with a "OK" and left the group chat.

Huang Jing was video chatting with Zhang Shuai. When Meng Meng saw her mother in the video, her eyes suddenly filled with tears: "Mom, Mom."

"Mengmeng, wait for auntie and mom to come back and bring you some delicious food." Huang Yaya comforted.

Afraid that Huang Jing would worry, Zhang Shuai hurriedly coaxed Mengmeng. Although Mengmeng stopped crying, she looked aggrieved and kept calling "Mommy". When she found that calling "Mommy" didn't work, she started asking for eggs again.

"It will be ready soon." Zhang Shuai comforted him, the egg custard had just been put into the pot.

Huang Jing found it a little funny when she heard this, and then explained to Huang Yaya: "Since she went back, she has gotten used to eating steamed egg custard every time."

"She loves egg custard so much now?" Huang Yaya was a little surprised.

"Yes, I just follow the method Miss Ji gave me, and Mengmeng loves to eat it." Huang Jing's tone was filled with gratitude?

"Then I'd like to try the egg custard and see how delicious it is." Huang Yaya's tone was full of curiosity.

"Well, after lunch we can go to Qianxi Lake to play. Zhang Shuai and I went there last time. It's very beautiful there and very photogenic." When girls go out to play, their favorite thing to do is to take photos.

"You are familiar with this place. I'll do as you say." Huang Yaya nodded to indicate that she would follow her arrangements.

"Then let's pack up and go to the restaurant early, otherwise if we go too late I'm afraid the braised food will be gone." Yes, Huang Jing still misses the braised food from Ji's Restaurant.

"Yes, netizens said it seems to be limited edition." Huang Yaya nodded.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the first person they saw was Aunt Liu, who was tidying up the table. The aroma of braised food filled their nostrils. Huang Jing stepped forward and asked, "Aunt, do you have any more braised food?"

"You have to queue up first." Aunt Liu said as she looked inside. There were already several people sitting there.

"Okay, let's go in and line up." Huang Jing was glad that they arrived in time.

Huang Yaya glanced at the people in line in front of her. Everyone was playing with their phones. She heard someone in front of her complain, "We came a little early. The food isn't even out of the pot yet."

"That's right. We're also afraid that if we come too late, they might not be available." Someone continued.

Huang Yaya opened the chat group again after hearing this: Sisters, I'm here. People are lining up for the braised food, but it hasn't come out of the pot yet.

One, two, three, four, five: Is it a real queue or just a proxy?

This netizen can be said to have expressed the thoughts of everyone, and everyone is looking forward to Huang Yaya's answer.

Huang Yaya glanced at the people in front of her, and then said honestly: It seems that none of them are hired, and they really smell good\laughing and crying\

One, two, three, four, five: Could you please post a picture for us later, please?

Elegant Life: OKK, wait for my good news.

"We should still have some." Huang Yaya said as she tiptoed towards the kitchen.

"Of course there is." Huang Jing comforted.

Ji Qingzhi had just turned over the stewed food in the pot and when he came out, he found that there were people queuing up. He was a little surprised: "So early?"

"Can I make a reservation in advance for tomorrow?" Huang Jing asked. Since she was already here, she naturally had to bring some back to Zhang Shuai, as their train would be at 7 o'clock tomorrow night.

"Yes, but it cannot exceed two kilograms." Ji Qingzhi also recognized Huang Jing at this time.

"Then I'll take two kilograms." Huang Jing quickly made the reservation.

"Okay." Ji Qingzhi said and went to the front desk computer to write it down.

Huang Yaya was a little hesitant about whether to make a reservation, but finally decided to wait until she had tasted it.

"Qingzhi, open the backyard gate. The excavator is coming." Aunt Li came over trotting.

"Okay, I'll be right there." Ji Qingzhi almost forgot about digging the fish pond today. When she turned around, she glanced at the wall clock and told Aunt Liu, "Wait another forty minutes, then you can turn off the fire."

After turning off the fire, it still needs to be soaked in the brine for an hour so that it can be more flavorful. Thinking of this, she glanced at the people in line and reminded them: "You can come later next time. It will take another two hours to be ready."

"Will it take that long?" The person in front couldn't help but frown when he heard that there were still two hours left, obviously unable to accept it.

"Yes, it will take another two hours before it can be served." There are requirements for the time it takes to be served, and Ji Qingzhi would not compromise just because they were in a hurry.

"Then can I come down and get it later?" the man said and looked at the time again. He did have something to do.

"Okay, Aunt Liu, please register." Ji Qingzhi called Aunt Liu over, and then she went to the backyard.

The big iron gate in the backyard had not been opened since Ji Qingzhi came back. The lock was a little rusty, and Ji Qingzhi took a lot of effort to open it. He apologized to the people in the excavator.

Sure enough, machines are convenient. In just a short while, a big hole was dug there. The master asked Ji Qingzhi if she needed to dig more. She nodded, pointed in the approximate direction, and said that a depth of one and a half meters should be enough.

Because the area was not large, it was completed in just half an hour. All that was left was to repair the pit. Ji Qingzhi paid the money and locked the door after the excavator left.

She stared at the excavated soil and wondered what to do with it. Before she could think of a solution, the system issued another task: "Grow Chinese cabbage and get a thousand points as a reward."

Ji Qingzhi:? ? ? Is this plan to develop the planting industry? It seems that the soil cannot be thrown away. Fortunately, the master just now had experience and shoveled it to the wall for her. She thought about it, went to the well, pulled the pipe over and watered the soil thoroughly, leaving it for planting cabbage tomorrow. But before that, we have to find someone to lay cement at the bottom of the fish pond.

After doing all this, she turned on the light screen and took a look at the progress bar. The progress bar for building the fish pond had moved by 30%, and it seemed that the foundation needed to be laid.

In the front hall, Huang Yaya was chatting with people in the group while waiting. Huang Jing looked at her in surprise: "Are you busy at work?"

She just told herself that it was work information. Huang Jing was a little hesitant. She took leave even though she was so busy. To some extent, this is not called a black fan, but true love.

"It's okay, there's just a problem with the plan." Huang Yaya made up an excuse.

Two hours was neither fast nor slow. The people in the queue ahead chose to wait to get their food, and only the two of them were waiting in the store. Aunt Liu finally came out with the tray, and the rich smell of braised food rushed into Huang Yaya's nose. She looked up suddenly and thought, it's over. She seemed to have been conquered by the smell in advance.
