Chapter 36 Minced Meat and Peas Re-formulate Treatment Plan
When Ji Qingzhi was speechless at the things in their hands, Yang Li had already tactfully handed over the fruit basket in his hand: "Sister Ji, congratulations on winning the award."
Xu Yu'an, who was holding flowers next to him, also quickly handed them over. Ji Qingzhi hesitated: "Xu Yu'an is the winner, shouldn't we congratulate him?"
"How could he win the award without you? Sister Ji, just accept it." Li Jian also spoke up.
At this time Ji Qingzhi suddenly realized that she had told them in advance that she would treat them to a meal, so they were probably embarrassed to come empty-handed. Thinking of this, she didn't know whether to smile or use other expressions. Although flowers and fruits are mostly used in visiting packages, there seems to be nothing wrong with such occasions. To sum up, they are still not very familiar with each other.
"Sister Ji, are you raising chickens?" Yang Li had the best hearing and could hear the chirping of chickens as soon as he arrived.
"Yes, and there are ducks." Ji Qingzhi nodded.
"Is that the flower stand built in advance over there?" Yang Li said, pointing to the wall near the fish pond.
Ji Qingzhi nodded again, and then saw the four people with shocked expressions. Then Xu Yuan said, "What a pastoral feeling. When the vines cover the flower rack, it will be very beautiful to take pictures."
"The backyard is empty anyway, and this way it can provide some pollution-free ingredients." Ji Qingzhi explained why he did all this in the backyard.
“Then wouldn’t it be possible to film the creation process of a certain dish?” Xu Yu’an was a little surprised.
"Then you can come with me now. I just planted green peppers, eggplants and tomatoes yesterday." Ji Qingzhi pointed to the vegetable field over there.
"Can we shoot now?" Xu Yu'an asked.
"Of course, from now on, all Ji's restaurants will be yours, except for the people." Ji Qingzhi emphasized the last sentence.
"Okay, I understand." Xu Yu'an said, holding the camera and following her to the vegetable field.
"It has sprouted." Ji Qingzhi stared at the green sprout that broke through the soil and nodded.
The greenery under the lens looked even fresher. It was the first time Xu Yuan had taken such a picture. He couldn't help but sigh: "Life is so wonderful."
Ji Qingzhi thought, it’s a good thing that he didn’t come to Ji’s restaurant every day, otherwise he would be stunned by their rising prices.
After checking and confirming, yesterday's seeds have all sprouted today, and 6,000 points have been successfully harvested. At this moment, the points have reached 48,000. Ji Qingzhi clenched her fists. As long as she works a little harder, she can exchange for Qingming Pills.
Aunt Liu and Li Yuanyuan came back with the food. They were surprised to see the extra people in the backyard. Ji Qingzhi explained, "They are my guests."
"Sister Ji, if there's anything you need us to do, just tell us directly. We're not here to eat for free." Yang Li glared at Xu Yu'an while speaking, obviously still holding a grudge against him for calling them a burden.
"Don't worry, I won't be polite with you." As expected, after Ji Qingzhi finished speaking, they all breathed a sigh of relief. She shook her head with a smile, then looked at Xu Yu'an: "Do you want to take a real-life picture of the store? There's no one here right now."
"Yes." Xu Yu'an nodded. This was originally his plan. Naturally, the first thing he would do after taking over was to bring real-life pictures of the restaurant.
"Okay, then you guys do whatever you want. We're going to get busy." After saying this, Ji Qingzhi followed Aunt Liu and the others into the kitchen.
"I also need to take some pictures, you guys can do whatever you want." Xu Yu'an glanced at them.
"No, he just left us here?" Yang Li looked incredulous.
"No, it's still early. Why don't we go line up?" Zhou Jun suddenly thought that they could also line up to buy meat sauce.
"This is a good idea. If you had proposed it twenty minutes earlier, we could still have lined up." Li Jian said as he took out a photo from his mobile phone and showed it to him. The photo on it was of the people queuing outside.
"Where did you see it? Is it accurate?" Zhou Jun still couldn't believe it.
"Could the account under Ji's Restaurant be fake?" Li Jian couldn't help but sigh after saying this.
"Then what should we do now?" Yang Li felt a little regretful. If he had known, he would have come later. It was all because of that guy Xu Yu'an. He was making a lot of noise in the group dormitory before dawn.
Just as they were secretly cursing Xu Yu'an, they saw him coming out with a plastic bag in his hand: "Hey, don't say I didn't think of you."
"What is this?" Zhou Jun asked.
"Pea pods, peel the peas. Sister Ji will make minced peas for us later. And this garlic will be used to make minced garlic later." Xu Yu'an took out two new bags and asked them to peel the peas and put them in them.
"I got it, you can go now." Yang Li thought, it is better to have something to do than to sit here and do nothing.
Ji Qingzhi stood at the gate of the courtyard and listened to their conversation, and curled the corners of his lips quietly. It turned out that making them feel involved made them feel less embarrassed.
Although Li Yuanyuan applied for a front desk job, Ji Qingzhi told her on the day of the interview that the job content was rather messy, so she was completely acceptable to helping in the kitchen.
With her help, Aunt Liu did the preparation work more efficiently. The task of dicing the beef was also taken over by Aunt Liu. Ji Qingzhi only needed to add the marinade and stir-fry the meat sauce.
When the meat sauce was about to be served, Xu Yu'an walked in at some point. He looked at Ji Qingzhi and asked, "Can I take a picture of this?"
"Of course." She would rather he take pictures of other dishes than meat sauce and braised food.
When he put away his phone, she slowly spoke: "Now the braised food and meat sauce have almost become the hallmarks of Ji's restaurant. I don't think it's necessary to spend time and energy to magnify them. What do you think?"
"I was just about to discuss this with you. This is what I plan to use at the beginning. I plan to come here every week to take pictures of different dishes, and then release one or two every day. What do you think?" Meat sauce and braised food have long been promoted by her group of friends and are well known to everyone, so there is really no need to promote them again.
"Will this be too hard for you?" Ji Qingzhi certainly thought it was a good idea, but she was also worried that it would be troublesome for him to come over every week.
"Of course not, just think of it as an early internship." Xu Yu'an waved his hand. His brother said that if you plan to enter the industry, you must be prepared to endure hardships. He is the only person in the family who supports him, so he naturally cannot let him down.
"Ok, then we'll follow your plan. If the effect is not good, we'll change the plan." Ji Qingzhi had just finished speaking when the points reminder for the braised food and meat sauce rang in his mind, and the points were updated to 49,200.
Aunt Liu and Li Yuanyuan went to the front hall. The stewed food still needed to be soaked for an hour. Xu Yu'an remembered that the last photo was also taken in the kitchen. He turned the camera and gave a close-up of the kitchen, then explained: "Everyone is very concerned about hygiene issues."
"You have considered everything." Ji Qingzhi felt that the congratulations were well worth the money.
At this time, the backyard trio came in with peeled peas and garlic. Ji Qingzhi smiled and thanked them, then asked, "The lunch menu temporarily includes minced meat peas, garlic shrimp, cumin lamb chops, hot and sour cabbage, and your favorite braised pork. Is there anything else you want to eat?"
"Oh, right, corn and pork ribs soup." Ji Qingzhi said as he prepared to go forward and stew the soup. The soup tastes better when it is simmered over low heat.
"Sister Ji, that's enough. These dishes are more than enough." Yang Li didn't expect today's feast to be beyond his imagination.
The others also agreed. There were only five people including her. Five dishes and one soup were enough, and they were all core dishes. Just thinking about it made her feel happy.
"Okay, remember to tell me if you want to eat anything else later." Ji Qingzhi nodded and walked through the kitchen to the front hall.
Xu Yu'an waited until her back disappeared before picking up the camera again. Yang Li stepped forward and asked, "What did you shoot?"
"The environment inside the store." Xu Yu'an said as he showed them the photos he had just taken.
"Well, there's something you know, right?" Yang Li said and looked at him.
"What?" Seeing his awkward look, Xu Yuan was puzzled.
"We just came across a variety show that Sister Ji had been on before," Yang Li looked at him again.
"No, can you just say what you want to say? Why do you look so constipated?"
"No, who are you talking about? We went there specifically for you. Sister Ji doesn't like relationships between older women and younger men, and she is even strongly against it. Do you understand what I mean now?" Yang Li said quickly.
"Oh, Sister Ji doesn't talk about sister-brother relationships. I know now. What does this have to do with me?" Xu Yu'an realized what they meant after he finished speaking. He turned his head to meet Yang Li's gaze, and after a long while he spoke, "So there is nothing else in your mind except these?"
"You really don't have this idea?" Yang Li confirmed with him again.
Xu Yu'an rolled his eyes. "Really? I was so persistent before because she refused to take photos. Now, besides the award-winning photo, I think she can take different types of photos. Sister Ji is the best model for me."
Accepting the operation of Ji's restaurant, in addition to gaining access to the restaurant, the most important thing is that next time he asks to take a photo, Sister Ji will find it difficult to refuse.
Seeing Yang Li's relieved look, he was even more puzzled: "What's that expression on your face?"
"That's good. You don't know, we are just afraid that we can't resist the temptation of delicious food and become people who sell out friends for fame and fortune." Yang Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Yu'an sneered: "You have a very rich imagination. Okay, wait for the feast to come. I'll go to the front hall to take some pictures of the customers."
In the front hall, Ji Qingzhi was about to leave after seeing Aunt Liu and Li Yuanyuan's registration queue. At this time, the hospital called. When Ji Qingzhi saw the number, her heart skipped a beat. She quickly pressed the answer button and heard the nurse say, "Miss Ji, the patient is showing signs of waking up. You need to come to the hospital and work with the doctor to re-plan the treatment plan."
