Ji Qingzhi's family has an ancestral restaurant, but she yearns for the entertainment industry.
In her words, she is so beautiful, of course she can't waste this face. However, after ...
Chapter 6060 Looking forward to traveling
Ji Qingzhi was stunned at first, and then said with a little disdain: "Gu Jingsi, you know? Asking the flower language was a game we played when we were in high school. High school students don't play this game anymore."
"Then it seems I need to update my brain memory." Gu Jingsi said humorously.
"Give me roses of different colors next time. I want to know how many different colors roses there are." As Ji Qingzhi spoke, his eyes swept from the pink lychee over there to the red in his arms.
"Teacher Ji is indeed Teacher Ji, so studious." Gu Jingsi praised.
"You never stop learning." After saying this, she placed the bouquet on the table, thinking that she should put them in a vase later to extend their life.
The two of them didn't expect that the call would continue until Li Yuanyuan came in with wine. Ji Qingzhi remembered that this was the daughter's red wine she ordered yesterday. It was related to the mission. She quickly ended the call and looked at Li Yuanyuan: "Is there another one that hasn't been delivered yet?"
"I only received this one." Li Yuanyuan shook her head.
She bought the peach tree from an orchard in the same city, and it will definitely arrive today. She looked down at the wine jar that had just been placed on the ground, thinking about how to seal it again.

After being woken up by the phone call, Gu Jingsi lost his sleepiness. He got up and went to the kitchen to prepare a simple breakfast before returning to work. If she went with him to reshoot the scenes, he could stay there for another day. Although the conditions there are average, there is a place that is very suitable for watching the sunrise. She should like it. Thinking of this, he quickened his movements.
When Bai Hongkai came over with brunch, Gu Jingsi had been working for a long time. He was a little surprised: "Director Gu, you got up so early, have you had breakfast?"
He didn't call in advance to ask him what he wanted to eat because he was afraid that his morning grumpiness would take its toll on him. He didn't expect that he would get up so early today.
"I've eaten. What did you bring?" Gu Jingsi stared at the screen in front of him, but his mouth was busy.
"Do you want to eat the food from Zhenweilou now?" Bai Hongkai asked.
"Leave it there and come back to eat in ten minutes." When Gu Jingsi heard the name Zhenweilou, he lost his appetite. It wasn't that the food was bad, but he was a little tired of it. When he realized his thought, Gu Jingsi paused for a moment and then gave a wry smile. He really had been "spoiled" recently and even began to dislike the food at Zhenweilou.
"Okay, Director Gu." Bai Hongkai had no idea what he was thinking, and busied himself going to the kitchen to get dishes and chopsticks. He shook his head as he walked into the kitchen. He had thought that a workaholic would have some free time after finding someone to date, but he never expected that instead of having some free time, he became even busier.

It was not until after lunch that the peach trees were delivered to the Ji Family Restaurant. In addition to Ji Yuanfu, who already knew about it, Aunt Liu and Li Yuanyuan were a little curious: "Is Teacher Ji planning to plant fruit trees in the backyard?"
"Yes, let's try it." Ji Qingzhi opened the bag of the fruit tree root while speaking. At present, the root seems to be well protected.
"Doesn't that mean we can eat the fruits we grow at home next year?" Li Yuanyuan was a little excited. She wouldn't dare to do that with others, but Teacher Ji had never failed in growing anything. Over the past few months, all the vegetables planted by Teacher Ji have grown well. Thinking of this, Li Yuanyuan looked at the fruit trees with anticipation.
"It should be possible, but I'm not sure?" Ji Qingzhi said nonchalantly.
"Let me help you get it to the backyard." Li Yuanyuan said as she offered to help.
"No need, I can do it myself." After saying that, Ji Qingzhi glanced at the kitchen. Old Ji was talking to Ding Yong. She thought that there would be no room for her to perform today, so she should go to the backyard to earn the 20,000 points.
She had planned the locations of the fruit trees in advance, and now all she had to do was dig holes and plant the trees. Over the past few months, Ji Qingzhi had become more and more skilled in using the hoe, but planting trees required deep holes, so it still took her a lot of effort to finish digging.
Planting and watering took an hour to complete. The well water slowly seeped into the roots. Ji Qingzhi had already started to seal the two jars of wine again, put sealing strips on them, and wrote today's date on them. Then he could start burying the wine.
"Complete the task of burying the daughter's red wine under the fruit tree and be rewarded with 20,000 points." A mechanical voice reminded her that the points had arrived. She glanced at the scoreboard. Ever since the Late-Night Poisoning series was made, the points had been increasing every day. Compared to before, it was much easier to gain points now.
When Ji Yuanfu brought Ding Yong to the backyard to pick vegetables, he saw Ji Qingzhi sitting on a lounge chair and enjoying the sun. He quickly retracted his gaze and said to Ding Yong: "Ingredients are the most important for any dish. They directly determine the final value of the dish, so choosing ingredients is a very important step."
The man who had been taking a nap with his eyes closed slowly opened his eyes upon hearing this and teased, "Dad, you were never this gentle to me before."
"It is precisely because of your failure example that I have to be gentler." Ji Yuanfu laughed first after he finished speaking. To be honest, Qingzhi was more talented in cooking than him, which was why he was so angry back then.
Ji Qingzhi clicked his tongue twice, glanced at Ding Yong, and then encouraged him: "Ding Yong, come on!" Whether the Ji family restaurant branch can be opened depends on his future performance.
Ding Yong, who didn't know he had an important task ahead of him, was sighing at how beautifully the vegetables were growing. It must have taken a lot of thought. He lives in the village. Every household grows their own vegetables, and many people grow vegetables to sell, but none of them grows as well as these vegetables.
“If you’re not busy, soak the kimchi. The temperature is getting higher and higher, and we can basically eat it in one night.” Ji Yuanfu said as he left with the vegetables.
"Got it." Ji Qingzhi said and suddenly remembered what Xu Yu'an told her about Gu Jingsi's three months of filming. She took the phone next to her and sent a message, "I'm going to make kimchi soon. I still have some from the past two days in the jar. Do you want me to bring you a bottle?" 】
This time, Ji Qingzhi hadn't received a reply to the message until she got up and went to the kitchen. She was not in a hurry. She first washed the vegetables and dried them. Then, she took out the cooked kimchi from the jar, cut it into pieces, and added some chicken essence and red chili oil to make it delicious.
The phone rang at this time, but the caller was Yun Xiangrong, and her voice on the other end of the phone was a little tragic: "Baby, our travel plan is probably going to be ruined."
"It's okay, there's still plenty of time in the future." Although Ji Qingzhi didn't know the reason, he knew that what she needed at this moment was comfort rather than questioning.
"The original joining time has been brought forward. I am convinced." Yun Xiangrong couldn't help but complain to her.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Work is more important." Ji Qingzhi's tone was full of understanding. She had encountered such emergencies many times before.
"Damn it, I spent two nights working on this strategy. I'll send it to you later, or you and Gu Jingsi can find time to go." Yun Xiangrong couldn't help but feel sad when she thought about how much thought she put into it, but it wouldn't be of any use.
The person on the other end of the phone was stunned: "We probably won't need it yet."
“How could that be? Traveling is an extreme test of relationships. It either increases feelings or helps you see the true nature of the other person. It is an accelerator of your relationship. Whether it speeds things up or ends directly depends on how you each perform during the trip.” As a wild emotional blogger, Yun Xiangrong spoke very clearly.
Ji Qingzhi, who originally wanted to refuse, remembered what Gu Jingsi had mentioned before about reshooting the scenes. She thought, this could actually be considered a kind of journey.
"That's it. I'll send it to you later. I have to go do some bulk shopping." The notification to join the crew was too hasty, and she hasn't prepared her all-purpose bag for the crew yet.
"Okay, you go ahead and do your work. I'll prepare some for you." Braised food and meat sauce have become two essential items in a group, but now that the temperature is rising, it's difficult to preserve them, so we can't prepare too much.
Five minutes later, Ji Qingzhi received the file sent by Yun Xiangrong. After taking a look at the size, she raised her eyebrows in surprise. You know, for a "lazy person" like Yun Xiangrong, the fact that she could write so many guides was enough to show how much she valued it. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a good deal for her in the end.
Because he had to make time to reshoot the scenes, Gu Jingsi was extremely busy during this period, and he and Ji Qingzhi could only maintain their relationship through the phone. Ji Qingzhi's side started to have some free time. Old Ji had to teach his apprentices, so he was basically the one in the kitchen every day. He was needed to prepare the side dishes before, but now with the appearance of Ding Yong, she basically didn't have to go into the kitchen.
Just as Old Ji said, Ding Yong is not only talented but also hardworking. His knife skills have improved visibly and his control over ingredients has become more and more precise. Ji Qingzhi thought that perhaps he was born to do this job. Looking at his continuous progress, she thought that they were one step closer to opening a branch.
During this period, although Gu Jingsi did not show up, the flowers from the flower shop appeared on time at Ji's restaurant every morning. Even though vegetable flowers were sometimes delivered, the backyard was about to become a sea of flowers. The well water extended their lifespan, so more and more fresh flowers were placed in the backyard. Ji Qingzhi took a look, then took a photo of Gu Jingsi and sent him over. [Don't send any more for the time being. 】
The word "temporarily" relaxed Gu Jingsi's tense mood. Fortunately, it was not a rejection. He returned to the old house last night to attend Ms. Jing's birthday party. Although his family was disappointed that he did not bring anyone back, knowing that he had someone he wanted to date was also good news for them.
I think Ms. Jing has already made it clear to the Jiang mother and daughter. The two of them attended the banquet last night but did not appear in front of her. This is good, at least it maintains the dignity of the two families.
Gu Jingsi looked down at the time, hesitated, then dialed the number. Ji Qingzhi's voice came from the other end. Gu Jingsi thought that he finally understood the feeling that the ancients said: "One day without seeing you feels like three years have passed."
The two of them talked about their respective busyness during this period. Finally, Gu Jingsi said, "Remember what I told you about reshooting? Do you have time? If you want to go, I'll ask my assistant to book the tickets for you."
"When are we going?" Ji Qingzhi asked.
"We'll leave this Friday." Gu Jingsi stared at the calendar on the table.
"Okay, I just happen to have time." Ji Qingzhi agreed.
"Okay, send the information over and I'll ask my assistant to book the tickets together." Gu Jingsi's voice was filled with obvious pleasure.
"Okay." After sending the message, Ji Qingzhi suddenly began to look forward to this "trip."
