Chapter 37: Brother Spicy and Sour Cabbage, don’t you know her?
"Okay, I'll be there right away." After a long while, Ji Qingzhi finally found her voice. Her mind was full of the nurse's words about the signs of waking up.
She quickly walked to the backyard, intending to change her clothes and leave, but as soon as she reached the door, she bumped into Xu Yu'an who came in. She then remembered what she had just said, and she quickly apologized: "Sorry, lunch today may have to be cancelled. I have to go to the hospital now."
"Hospital?" Xu Yu'an looked at her worriedly.
"It's not me, it's my dad. Sorry, we can only have dinner next time." After saying that, Ji Qingzhi went back to her room to change clothes without waiting for his reaction.
Ji Qingzhi naturally would not choose to ride a bike to go to the hospital, but chose to drive. From the time she answered the phone to the time she changed her clothes, she had calmed down. She guessed that the signs of Old Ji waking up might be related to the cup of warm water she brought every day. She had truly experienced the magic of the vitality in the water.
Arriving at the hospital, Ji Qingzhi did not go to the doctor's office first, but went to the ward first. Old Ji on the bed still looked sleepy, but his complexion was better than before. She continued to take out the thermos cup from her bag and used a cotton swab to moisten his lips. The nurse next to her explained to her that from yesterday to today, she saw him move his fingers three times, but the amplitude was not large.
Ji Qingzhi understood that she was reminding herself not to have too high expectations. She responded in a low voice, but she was guessing in her heart that given Old Ji's current condition, he might be able to wake up with the Qingming Pills. Thinking of her current points, she still had to work harder and get the account on Big Eyed Boy up and running quickly.
When they arrived at the doctor's office, the doctor was also surprised by Ji Yuanfu's current condition. He discussed the next treatment plan with Ji Qingzhi. Ji Qingzhi said in a gentle tone: "I think we should keep the current plan. After all, the situation is getting better little by little."
"What Miss Ji said makes sense. We will maintain the previous plan and pay more attention to observation." This is also an exciting time for the doctor.
"Then I'll trouble you, doctor." Only Ji Qingzhi knew the reason for Old Ji's change. She didn't stay in the hospital for long this time. She wanted to rush back to earn points.
It was an hour and a half after returning from the hospital. Ji Qingzhi did not expect that Xu Yu'an and his group had not left yet. Aunt Liu at the door had already closed the store as she had said just now, and when they saw her coming back, everyone hurriedly asked about Old Ji's situation.
"There has been improvement. He will probably wake up soon." Ji Qingzhi said the last sentence to herself. The time for Old Ji to wake up depends entirely on Qingming Pills, so her first priority is to accumulate points.
"I'm glad you're okay." Xu Yu'an and the others were originally discussing going back home, and when he heard her say there was good news from the hospital, he stood up and prepared to say goodbye and leave.
"You haven't eaten yet, right? I'll cook it now. You can just take pictures of these dishes, is that okay?" Ji Qingzhi asked.
"No problem." Xu Yu'an sensed her eagerness and quickly agreed.
"That's troublesome." Ji Qingzhi smiled at him a little embarrassedly.
Because the store was closed, it was much quieter outside than usual. Xu Yu'an immediately logged into the Ji Family Restaurant account and explained the reason. Most people understood this, and those unreasonable remarks were simply ignored.
The filming of Hot and Sour Cabbage starts with Ji Qingzhi picking cabbages in the vegetable field. Although the shapes of the cabbages in the vegetable field do not look as beautiful as those in the vegetable market, the green leaves always convey endless vitality, which is very pleasing to the eye.
Given her previous occupation, the filming had no impact on Ji Qingzhi. She took the cabbage to the kitchen. Xu Yu'an's camera was still filming. These were all materials and he would edit them later. The camera followed her to the kitchen, making the scenery in the backyard look even more beautiful.
Because of the filming, it was already 3:30 in the afternoon when we had dinner. Ji Qingzhi looked at everyone with an apologetic look on his face: "Sorry, I made you hungry until now."
"Sister Ji, you are too polite." Yang Li shook his head. They had just eaten bread to fill their stomachs.
"I originally wanted to treat you to dinner, but I didn't expect something urgent to happen today. If you don't mind, can you come over again next weekend?" Ji Qingzhi invited them.
"Okay." Yang Li agreed so straightforwardly. He glanced at Xu Yu'an. It was true that when one person succeeds, everyone around him will benefit. Pah, it was true that it was easy to get things done with someone in the court. Old Xu successfully infiltrated the Ji family restaurant, and they could have a big meal every week without queuing.
After the decision was made to treat the guests, Ji Qingzhi glanced at the points on the light screen. He had just unlocked five dishes, and the points changed to 49,700. He was getting closer and closer to the Qingming Pills, and he didn't know how many points he would earn after serving these dishes.
Because she was thinking about the points, Ji Qingzhi ate the meal absent-mindedly. It was not until Xu Yu'an spoke to her that she perked up: "Sister Ji, I will confirm with you before I edit it and send it out. What do you think?"
"Okay, when editing, try to focus on the dishes." Ji Qingzhi put forward his request.
"Okay, is there anything else I need to pay attention to?" Xu Yu'an said as he opened the memo on his phone.
"Nothing else for now." Ji Qingzhi shook his head.
"Okay, then we'll go back first." After Xu Yu'an finished speaking, he looked down at his camera. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but she seemed to care a lot about this photoshoot?
The four of them came here by bike, and when they went back, they still chose a shared bike. Yang Li smiled and said, "Old Xu, work hard. Whether we can eat at Ji's Restaurant in the future depends on you."
"Sister Ji, the quantity here is limited, but she seems to care a lot about this promotion." Li Jian also noticed Ji Qingzhi's concern.
Sure enough, it was not his illusion, she really cared about these publicity. Xu Yu'an didn't quite understand what she cared about, but he always knew how to express his feelings, so after his curiosity, he thought about how to do a good job in editing this time.

After the four of them left, Ji Qingzhi also asked Aunt Liu and Li Yuanyuan to go back. Soon she was the only one left in the yard. She walked to the fish pond. The water in the pond was very clear, so clear that she could clearly see the fish swimming in it. The small fish she had put in before had grown a little bigger and were running around in the pond.
The water lily that was put in also grew its first leaf. Ji Qingzhi calculated the time. If she continued at the current rate, she would be able to successfully exchange for the Qingming Pills in a month at most. And after a month, at this growth rate, these fish could be used to make fish soup. So, the fish-raising task issued by the system was actually to replenish Old Ji's body?
With this guess, Ji Qingzhi tried to wake up the system in his brain, but unfortunately, after calling it many times, there was still no response.
Her eyes fell on the flower stand beside the wall of the fish pond. The rose vines had begun to climb up the flower stand. After a month, they should bloom. The vitality of the yard would be the best gift to welcome Old Ji. She hoped that Old Ji would like this gift.

Compared to videos, Xu Yu'an mostly shot photos before. This time, he shot a lot of materials and he needed to edit out the essential parts. He edited the video of spicy and sour cabbage according to his own ideas, but he always felt a little unsatisfied. He tried to cut it several times, but still felt that something was missing. He hesitated for a moment, and finally he simply called Gu Jingsi directly.
The preparations for the film went smoothly, and Gu Jingsi was in a rare good mood: "Why, don't you have enough money again?"
"No, brother, I want to ask you for a favor." After saying the last word, Xu Yu'an felt a little guilty.
"Forget about trying to persuade my uncle." Gu Jingsi said directly.
"Of course not. I found a job with my own hands. But I'm always unsatisfied with my first work, so please help me once, brother." Xu Yu'an explained his purpose.
"Stop talking nonsense and just tell me what you want me to do?" Gu Jingsi always hated nonsense literature.
"I would like to trouble you to help me edit a video to facilitate my study. Brother, will you agree to it?" Xu Yu'an asked carefully.
Gu Jingsi was so angry that he laughed: "Xu Yu'an, do you know how precious my time is?" Now he asked him to help him edit a video.
"Of course I know, brother, you still remember what happened back then, right?" Xu Yu'an thought. He had no choice but to talk about past favors.
Gu Jingsi knew that the past he was talking about was when his family cut off his financial resources and he had to use his own savings to help him. Although that money was a drop in the bucket for him, he always remembered this kindness. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sneer: "Is this internship important to you?"
"Yes, it's very important." Xu Yu'an nodded across the phone.
"Okay, send it over and don't do it again." Gu Jingsi looked at the time and thought it should be done tonight.
Two minutes later, Gu Jingsi received the material sent by Xu Yu'an. He frowned and said, "Is this a food column?"
"That's about right." Xu Yu'an said vaguely. He had never told Ji Qingzhi that he was Gu Jingsi's cousin because he was afraid that he would be the target of anger. Who made Gu Jingsi say in public that Ji Qingzhi was just a vase and had no acting skills at all?
"If you want an internship, you can come to my crew." Gu Jingsi stared at the filming screen and frowned. He still had a lot of room for improvement.
"That's different. I'll leave it to you, brother." Afraid that he would ask more questions, Xu Yu'an wanted to end the topic quickly.
"Okay, just be happy. What content do you want to edit?" Gu Jingsi asked.
"Spicy and sour cabbage is the theme of this video, and it mainly presents the dish." Xu Yu'an did not forget Ji Qingzhi's request.
"Okay, I get it, but this chef's movements seem very skillful, and she looks somewhat familiar." Gu Jingsi couldn't remember where he had seen her before.
"Brother, don't you know her?" Xu Yu'an asked carefully.
