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 707 Failed?
Although the task was released unexpectedly, Ji Qingzhi was very happy. This was 600 points. This family of three was her lucky star. She smiled apologetically at Zhang Shuai and said, "Sorry, the braised food will be available in a few days."
Moreover, she herself could not guarantee this in the next few days. After all, the system had its own judging criteria. If the braised food was good, people from the elderly in their seventies and eighties to children would like it. Then, wouldn't the points increase? Thinking of this possibility, Ji Qingzhi felt a little relieved.
“Okay.” Zhang Shuai’s tone was a little regretful. It seemed that he could only look for other places or order takeout.
Huang Jing felt a little sorry after hearing this. Who doesn't love stewed food? It's the best companion for watching TV series. As she spoke, she took a bite of rice with the pickled cabbage in the pickled fish. Then, she looked at Ji Qingzhi with sparkling eyes: "Boss, do you pickle the pickled cabbage yourself?"
Huang Jing grew up in the countryside. Her family was not well off at that time, and this kind of pickled cabbage was almost a regular on the dinner table. She just felt annoyed at the time, but began to miss it after she started working. Unfortunately, since her parents went to take care of her brother and sister-in-law's children, they no longer have time to pickle cabbage, and she hasn't eaten the pickled cabbage at home for a long time.
In the past, every time she ordered sauerkraut fish, she would eat the sauerkraut first, looking forward to having that bite she had longed for. But unfortunately, she had never gotten to eat it before that. After so many disappointments, she rarely ate the sauerkraut in sauerkraut fish. Just now, she was so busy talking that she forgot to pick up the sauerkraut. Unexpectedly, she was pleasantly surprised.
Ji Qingzhi was a little surprised at her sensitivity, then nodded with a smile: "Yes, my dad pickled it himself."
Speaking of Old Ji, Ji Qingzhi's heart paused. In addition to the daily visiting time, she also contacted the attending physician. All of Old Ji's indicators and signs were normal. Ji Qingzhi, who had originally doubted the system's words, now completely believed it. Now she just wanted to work hard to earn points.
"It tastes great." Huang Jing gave her a thumbs up and took another big bite of sauerkraut. Yes, it was the taste of her childhood.
"As long as you like it." Ji Qingzhi thought, this was probably the reason why Old Ji had been reluctant to give up Ji's Restaurant. It was really a pleasant thing to be affirmed and praised by others.
Huang Jing stared at Ji Qingzhi's back in a daze. She suddenly couldn't understand what kind of group her black fans were, because she was such a nice person.
"What are you looking at?" Zhang Shuai was a little confused.
"Nothing, let's eat. We still have to go out and play later." Huang Jing originally wanted to share this with him, but thinking of Ji Qingzhi's withdrawal statement, she didn't mention this, so she decided not to say anything. It was his fault that he was so careless with his words.
Mengmeng, who was sitting in the stroller, had her back to them, so the little girl's eyes were following Ji Qingzhi. When she saw Ji Qingzhi enter the kitchen and her figure disappeared from her sight, she couldn't help but start to get anxious and kept shouting "ahhhhh", but unfortunately the kitchen door blocked the sound.
Yes, Ji Qingzhi was busy in the kitchen opening the refrigerator to look for brine. She remembered that Old Ji said that the brine in the house was older than she was. After a while, she found the brine in the refrigerator, but soon she fell into deep thought. Would 600 points be so easy?
She quickly put the marinade back to its original place. She didn't buy any ingredients today, so it would not be appropriate to take it out now.
When they came out of the kitchen again, Huang Jing and the others had almost finished their meal. When Zhang Shuai came over to pay the bill, Ji Qingzhi was looking at the backend of the recruitment platform. Someone responded to her, although it was an agent.
Thinking about the dishes that would have to be washed later, Ji Qingzhi thought, let the agent be the agent, she really didn't want to wash dishes anymore, so she quickly made a phone call and asked the agent to bring someone over. Her requirements are simple: the person must be efficient at work and clean; of course, he must have a health certificate.

Song Panyan participated in the recording of a variety show. Although the company still found a control group for her as originally planned, it obviously did not make much of a splash, which made her very angry.
She tilted her head to look at the assistant, her tone was very bad: "How is your investigation going?"
"Ji Qingzhi suddenly quit the entertainment industry because his family member was ill." The assistant whispered.
"It shouldn't have happened earlier or later, but at this time." Song Panyan slammed the table angrily. Although she didn't want to admit it, Ji Qingzhi's traffic was much better than hers, even if it was black traffic, according to the plan, this part of the traffic could have become hers. However, Ji Qingzhi's sudden withdrawal caught her off guard.
"Yan Yan, Sister Yan asked you to record the video first, and she will arrange the follow-up matters." The assistant reminded carefully. Although Song Pan Yan had just debuted, her family conditions were very good since she was a child, so she has always had a bad temper.
"I understand. Keep an eye on Ji Qingzhi. I don't believe she will really quit the circle." Once she makes any move, she will definitely crush her to death.
Ji Qingzhi is interviewing aunts. The agency brought three aunts over. After the interviews, she kept 50-year-old Aunt Liu. Before she came, the agency had already screened the aunts with health certificates, so Aunt Liu can start work tomorrow.
Ji Qingzhi provides food but not accommodation. Both she and Old Ji are very opposed to outsiders living in their home.
After confirming tomorrow's work time with her aunt, Ji Qingzhi was soon the only one left in the store. She looked up and glanced at the wall clock. Old Ji's visiting time was approaching, so she should get ready.
She hung the sign "Closed" on the sliding door and turned around to see the flower baskets lined up outside. She couldn't help but smile, but soon she couldn't smile anymore. What to do with the flower baskets was still a problem.
"Sister Qingzhi, are you going out?" Nie Yuanyuan said before she saw the sign hanging on the door.
"Well, I'll go to the hospital to see your Uncle Ji." After the most confusing days, Ji Qingzhi was able to face Old Ji's current situation calmly.
"Is that so?" Nie Yuanyuan scratched her hair a little embarrassedly. The whole Boulevard knew about Uncle Ji's affairs. She didn't expect that she would ask about someone's sad story just by asking casually, so she was very embarrassed.
Children can't hide their emotions. Ji Qingzhi saw her helplessness and couldn't help but curl her lips: "Yuanyuan, can you do me a favor?"
"Sister Qingzhi, you tell me, I will definitely help." Nie Yuanyuan nodded hurriedly. At this moment, even if Ji Qingzhi wanted the moon in the sky, she would want to pick it down for her to make up for her mistake just now.
"Don't be so serious. Here, could you please ask if anyone needs flowers? If you do, come here in the evening and get them yourself." Ji Qingzhi said as he nodded towards the flower baskets on both sides.
"Okay, Sister Qingzhi, don't worry, I'll take care of it." Nie Yuanyuan said and patted her chest.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Yuanyuan." Ji Qingzhi waved at her.
Nie Yuanyuan looked at her from behind and suddenly said to her loudly, "Sister Qingzhi, Uncle Ji will definitely get better."
Ji Qingzhi didn't look back, but just waved to the people behind her. Well, she also believed that Old Ji would get better.
On the way to the hospital, Ji Qingzhi looked at the light screen for a long time. Three hundred points were too few and could not be exchanged for anything. She couldn't help but sigh. She had to work hard to earn points.
The visiting hours in the hospital were not long, but being able to see Old Ji every day made her feel at ease. She comforted herself that Old Ji had lived a very hard life for most of his life, so she could just take this period of time as a rest.
It was exactly three o'clock when she came out of the hospital. She first went to the market to order the ingredients for tomorrow's braised food.
Ji Qingzhi didn't expect Nie Yuanyuan to be waiting for her in the store. She pushed the door open and Nie Yuanyuan stood up and happily "reported" to her: "Sister Qingzhi, these flowers have found a new home. Can they come to pick them up at 8 o'clock in the evening?"
"Of course, thank you Yuanyuan. As a thank you, I'll treat you to braised food tomorrow." Ji Qingzhi said as he rubbed her hair.
"Braised food?" Nie Yuanyuan's eyes instantly sparkled. She remembered that Uncle Ji's braised chicken feet were delicious, but it was a pity that Uncle Ji didn't make them often.
"Yes." Ji Qingzhi nodded with a smile.
"Okay, thank you Sister Qingzhi."
"Don't be so polite. I should be the one thanking you." With her help, all he had to do was move the empty flower basket to the garbage spot.
After Nie Yuanyuan left, Ji Qingzhi was the only one left in the entire store. Since this was not a restaurant, there should be no one there, so Ji Qingzhi simply went to the backyard and planned to water Old Ji's vegetable garden.
In addition to the vegetable garden, there is also a well in the backyard. According to Old Ji, this well is older than Old Ji. They have been drinking well water over the years. The water pipe on the other side of the vegetable garden is connected to tap water, and Ji Qingzhi went to the sprinkler to water the vegetables.
It's early spring and the temperature is not high, so she can water the vegetables in the afternoon. Before watering, she pulls out the weeds in the garden first to prevent them from taking away all the nutrients in the garden.
The water droplets sprayed from the water pipe refracted the sunlight, allowing Ji Qingzhi to see the long-lost rainbow. She thought this was a good hint.
Just as Ji Qingzhi guessed, there were no new customers in the afternoon, and the same was true in the evening. Fortunately, she was mentally prepared, so she was relatively calm. She just made a vegetable salad for dinner.
After eight o'clock, there was a noise outside. Ji Qingzhi knew that it was the neighbors who came to take the flowers in the baskets, but she didn't care. When she was about to go out to clean up the flower baskets at half past eight, she found that the outside had been tidied up. For a moment, she felt warm in her heart.
Because of the warmth, Ji Qingzhi slept well that night. The next morning, Aunt Liu came to work on time, and the braised food ingredients she ordered also arrived.
With the help of Aunt Liu, Ji Qingzhi quickly put these things into the kitchen. She took out the chicken wings and chicken feet and put them in a basin to thaw. Then she added clean water to the pot and added onion, ginger and cooking wine to remove the fishy smell and blood. She boiled water in the pot here, and after the water boiled, she poured it into the old brine in the refrigerator. The fragrance could be smelled when the brine boiled.
The chicken feet, chicken wings, etc. were taken out and washed with water, then put into the boiling marinade pot next to it, and then the appropriate seasonings were added. Before Ji Qingzhi could taste the saltiness, a light screen suddenly appeared, and the progress bar under the marinated food was directly marked with a big red cross. Ji Qingzhi couldn't help but frowned. Is this a failure?
