Chapter 26
After returning to the courtyard, Ji Mingqing settled all his things and then went to the restaurant. At this time, Xu Yihe had come back to help. He seemed to be in a good mood because he had made some money.
Cui Ding was as energetic as ever, warmly entertaining every customer. Ji Mingqing came to the kitchen and asked, "Is there enough food?"
Xu Yihe replied, "It's still enough to sell for now. If the customers coming today are compared to yesterday, the increase won't be that big."
It was still rising. Ji Mingqing couldn't hold back his curiosity and said to Xu Yihe, "Please ask around. Maybe someone knows why someone came here."
Xu Yihe had heard the news a long time ago and knew the reason, but he still accepted the task.
Seeing that there was nothing for Ji Mingqing to do here, he returned to the courtyard. Seeing Xiaowan lying on the table as usual, with his eyes following him, a sense of pride unconsciously ignited in his heart.
See, Xiaowan still can't leave me!
Bai Cangze didn't know what Ji Mingqing was so proud of. He had just made a plan and someone would come over soon. But at this time, he saw Ji Mingqing coming to the kitchen in the courtyard again. It was obvious that he was tinkering with something new.
Ji Mingqing made ice cream, which was sweet to eat after sweating. Fortunately, he ran a restaurant and had all the raw materials at home. In addition, the most important thing was that the magic of the fairy world was very convenient. There was no need for a refrigerator. Only a few mantras were needed to achieve the desired effect.
Life is really convenient.
Ji Mingqing quickly prepared a large portion, filled a large bowl, then filled a small bowl, and walked out with both bowls.
"This is yours." Ji Mingqing placed the small bowl in front of Xiaowan, and he sat down in front of Xiaowan to eat the first bite of ice cream in the fairyland.
After taking a spoonful into his mouth, Ji Mingqing couldn't help but close his eyes in satisfaction. The mellow taste without any additives instantly spread in his mouth, and the happiness brought by the sweetness and milky taste instantly lingered in his heart. After swallowing the food in his mouth, Ji Mingqing slowly opened his eyes.
"Xiao Wan, the fairyland is so great!" How can the food made in the fairyland be so delicious!
Bai Cangze did not comment on Ji Mingqing's inexplicable emotion. He has always disliked sweets. When he saw Ji Mingqing added a lot of sugar when making this dessert, Bai Cangze felt a little unhappy.
"Xiao Wan, why don't you eat it? Have you never eaten it before?" Ji Mingqing lowered his head and looked at him with a gentle smile, "Try it, just try it. If it doesn't taste good, we won't eat it next time." Ji Mingqing coaxed softly.
Bai Cangze hesitated for a while, but still lowered his head, buried his face in the bowl, and licked it symbolically with his tongue.
After licking it, Bai Cangze raised his head and looked back at Ji Mingqing. Ji Mingqing looked at him expectantly and asked, "How is it? Is it to your taste?"
Bai Cangze did not answer, but just looked at him straight with his dark brown eyes. When Ji Mingqing saw him like this, he immediately laughed.
"Okay, okay, I got it." Ji Mingqing lowered his head and began to eat the food in his bowl seriously.
Bai Cangze then lowered his head again and ate the ice cream in his bowl with peace of mind.
Ji Mingqing was halfway through his meal when he saw Xiaowan's bowl was empty. He exclaimed in surprise, "Xiaowan, you like this."
After hearing this, Bai Cangze raised his front paw and pushed the empty bowl in front of him to Ji Mingqing. Ji Mingqing immediately understood that Xiaowan wanted another bowl.
Ji Mingqing immediately filled another bowl for Bai Cangze. Just when he was about to hand it to Bai Cangze, his hand suddenly turned in the air. Bai Cangze's eyes followed the bowl back and forth, and then he looked at Ji Mingqing in surprise as he retracted his hand.
"No, kittens can't eat too much ice cream, it will give them diarrhea." Ji Mingqing thought about this and put the bowl away. "For your own health, I'll give it to you tomorrow."
Bai Cangze was furious. "Did you really think I was shortchanging you for a bowl of this crap? If it weren't for the fact that this thing isn't too sweet, how could I possibly..."
"After eating the ice cream, rinse your mouth with water, and then have some Lumei drink." Ji Mingqing poured Xiaowan another large bowl of Lumei drink, "You can drink as much as you want."
Although I don't know if the stomachs of the spiritual beasts in the fairy world are very sensitive, it is better to be prepared. After all, the kitten doesn't think that carefully. Even if he is angry and ignores me, I will be fine in two days.
Ji Mingqing felt that he had a firm grasp of Xiaowan's thoughts.
Bai Cangze looked at Ji Mingqing's actions, feeling both angry and upset. He thought about it and finally turned his back, thinking that out of sight, out of mind.
Seeing that Xiaowan didn't run away this time, Ji Mingqing, feeling victorious, happily ate the remaining half bowl of ice cream in his bowl. Then, pretending to discuss with Xiaowan, he said, "Do you think I can sell this in the store?"
As Ji Mingqing was eating, he came up with this idea. This thing was like drinking plum drink, it was not difficult to make, but the raw materials were very expensive. However, he could pour some jam on it and make it into different flavors to sell more variety.
"But there are no four seasons here? How come I've been here for so long and the weather hasn't changed at all?" Ji Mingqing was a little confused, but began to answer himself.
"Maybe it's because of the characteristics of the fairyland. It's so comfortable with four seasons like spring. I just don't know if I can see snow." Ji Mingqing has always wanted to build a snowman by himself, but unfortunately it hardly snows in his hometown. He thought that after he got a job and had money, he could go to a place with snow, but in the end he didn't have the chance.
"Have you ever seen snow, Xiaowan? If you have, you will definitely like it. If there is a chance in the future, I will take you to see the snow. You have long fur, so you will definitely not be afraid of the cold."
Bai Cangze was just about to say that he had been in seclusion in the extremely cold hunting ground for a hundred years and had seen all kinds of snow. There was even nothing there except snow.
But his next thought was interrupted by a knock on the door. Ji Mingqing ran over and opened the door, and saw a man in luxurious clothes and noble appearance knocking on the door of the small courtyard.
"Hello, are you Mr. Ji?" the visitor said with a smile.
When Ji Ming heard the man call out his name, he thought he was a customer who wanted to go to the restaurant for dinner, so he pointed in the direction of the restaurant and said, "The restaurant is over there. The environment is better there."
The man waved his hand and said, "I just came from over there. I came to see Boss Ji specifically to discuss some business with him."
"What business?" Ji Mingqing pricked up his ears.
"Boss Ji's business is booming, so he must be in need of a lot of immortal herbs and plants, as well as a lot of immortal beast meat. I happen to have the channels in this area, so I came over to ask Boss Ji if he needs anything."
It turned out to be a wholesaler. Ji Mingqing immediately pricked up his ears, "Do you have your own farm, or are you just responsible for pulling the strings?"
The visitor was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what was happening and replied, "I have a small sacred mountain at home. I started it just to sell my own things, but it's grown so big that I'm the one who connects 80% of the restaurants in the fairy world with them."
So that's how it is. Ji Mingqing felt a little relieved, but he still kept his guard up for someone who took the initiative to come to him to discuss business. "Then tell me what you can provide and how much it costs."
As soon as this person saw that there was a chance, he immediately started to actively promote it with Ji Mingqing.
"I heard that the plum blossom drink is the signature dish of Boss Ji's restaurant. I guess there is a great demand for plum blossoms. The quality of the plum blossoms I sell is definitely no less than those of other immortals, but the price is only about 80% of theirs." The man came close to Ji Mingqing and whispered, "Just this much." After speaking, he made a gesture, and Ji Mingqing widened his eyes slightly.
"With this amount, are you sure the quality won't be bad?" Ji Mingqing was tempted.
Normally he would pay two fairy beads for a pound of dewberries, and he needed about twenty-five pounds to make a large bucket. If this person could really get him a 20% discount, he could really save a lot of money.
"Not only do I have dew plums at home, I also have other things. I can bring some over for you to take a look. And if you're not satisfied with the ingredients I send you after signing the contract, you can unilaterally tear up the contract. With me as the middleman, the other party will never know anything about you."
This is great! If it really doesn't work out, I don't have to come forward to solve it, I can just talk to this person in front of me...
"What's your last name?" Ji Mingqing just remembered that after chatting for a long time, he still didn't know the man's name.
"My name is Zhao Yu, the Yu next to the gold character." Zhao Yu reminded specially.
"Boss Zhao's name brings a lot of money. How about I order a small batch today and we can discuss it tomorrow?"
"Sure, sure." Zhao Yu was delighted to have closed a deal. Before leaving, he casually asked, "I wonder if Mr. Ji has any magical plants or herbs he wants to sell? I'll give you the best price I can."
After Ji Ming heard this, a sea of yellow flowers suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Really? Are you adopting the magical herb?" Ji Mingqing asked casually.
Zhao Yu immediately said, "Of course I did. Does Boss Ji have the Yang Shen Grass?"
"Yes, yes." Ji Mingqing immediately took out a flower and handed it to Zhao Yu. "I planted a large area, but didn't have much success. Fortunately, the ones that grew were of good quality."
"Indeed." Zhao Yu took the Yang Shen Grass from Ji Mingqing's hand and said with a hint of joy, "Your Yang Shen Grass is of excellent quality. I'll take whatever you have left."
"Not much actually." Ji Mingqing hesitated. He hadn't decided whether to sell all the nourishing vegetables to one person. It would be bad if he discovered that he was different.
Ji Mingqing now realized that something was wrong, so he was extra cautious.
"We'll talk about it when you come over tomorrow." Ji Mingqing politely sent Zhao Yu away. Zhao Yu felt that this man was not as naive as the Lord said, so the two of them made an appointment to meet the next day and then parted ways.
Cui Ding ran over and glanced at Zhao Yu vaguely, but the two did not speak to each other. Cui Ding and Zhao Yu passed by each other sideways, then ran to Ji Mingqing and said.
"Boss, I know why our Lumei drink is selling so well these days."
"It's because of the Lord."
