Chapter 38: Late-night poisoning reward of 8,000 points
Xu Yuan's words made Gu Jingsi frown: "Should I know her?"
"No, no, brother, just send it to me when you're done." Xu Yanyuan didn't continue the topic. Well, Ji Qingzhi's previous look was from the drama, and in this video she was basically without makeup, so it was normal that he couldn't recognize her.
"Don't come to me if something like this happens again next time." There was a hint of disgust in Gu Jingsi's tone.
"Got it." Xu Yu'an responded quickly. He didn't expect him to help him twice. This time, just think of it as him making a sample for yourself.
After the editing was successfully delivered, Xu Yu'an focused his attention on the Ji Family Restaurant account again. Because of Yun Xiangrong and Huo Yubai's reposts, the number of fans quickly reached 500,000. He estimated that the two of them had more fans, and the remaining few were the real diners, so now they needed to promote the dishes to attract real diners.

Ever since the bathroom water pipes were changed to well water, Ji Qingzhi has developed the habit of taking a bath. It is the fastest way to eliminate fatigue. She lowered her eyes to glance at her right hand. There were already calluses where she held the knife. She poured well water over her entire right hand over and over again, but the calluses still remained. She suddenly thought of Lao Ji's hand. When she was a child, she didn't like Lao Ji holding her hand. She felt that Lao Ji's hands were too rough, not as fragrant and soft as Qin Xiaoxiao's.
Perhaps because she no longer had the same expectations for Qin Xiaoxiao as before, Ji Qingzhi was able to remain calm when she thought of her. When she got up and returned to her room, she received the first edited video sent by Xu Yu'an. The video was not long, only five minutes from when she went to the vegetable garden to when the cabbage came out of the pot, but it had to be said that everything that needed to be edited was included, especially the last few scenes, which made the cabbage look particularly tempting.
Xu Yu'an [Sister Ji, what do you think? Is there anything else that needs to be modified? 】
Ji Qingzhi: [This is great. It’s better than I imagined. 】
Ji Qingzhi was telling the truth. The quality of the video was indeed much better than she had imagined. She didn't expect that Xu Yu'an was not only good at taking photos, but also good at video editing. She stared at the last picture and regarded herself as an ordinary diner and felt that the dishes in the picture were very tempting.
Xu Yu'an [As long as Sister Ji is satisfied, I will publish it later? 】
Ji Qingzhi: [Ok, you are responsible for this, just make the decision directly next time. 】
Feeling Ji Qingzhi's trust, Xu Yu'an felt a little guilty, but then he thought, even if it was edited by his brother, so what? He would just follow this format for his next video. He didn't believe that he couldn't copy it.
This is the first dish video released by Ji's Restaurant, so Ji Qingzhi has been waiting for it. She knows that most of the fans of this account are brought by Yun Xiangrong and Huo Yubai, so the comments on this dish probably represent the number of diners.
In addition to Ji Qingzhi, Xu Yu'an was also waiting for everyone's feedback after the video was released. To be honest, he was a little nervous, even more nervous than when he participated in the photography competition.
No one expected that the first person to comment on this video was Huo Yubai. He complained in the comments about why the video was spread so late at night, and he hated it!
Huo Yubai stared at the spicy and sour cabbage in the video and complained to Yun Xiangrong beside him: "Sister Ji is so mean. Why didn't we have spicy and sour cabbage last time we went there?"
"Isn't there stir-fried bok choy?" Yun Xiangrong said as she turned off the audio and played the video again. Not to mention, the signal problem on the crew's side was solved, but bad news also followed. Before, they couldn't see or eat it, but now they can see it but can't eat it. It's cruel just thinking about it.
"We are all adults, why do we have to make choices? Can't we have both large and small cabbages?" Huo Yubai began to miss the last big meal.
"We can get down the mountain if we just hold on for two more days." After she and Huo Yubai's persuasion, Director Jiang finally agreed to go down the mountain with them this week.
"We are quite lucky after all." Huo Yubai reminded Yun Xiangrong in a low voice not to be ungrateful for what he had.
Yun Xiangrong rolled her eyes at him and said, "Should I be the one reminding you of this? I have asked my assistant to contact the self-heating hotpot and Bibimbap." She couldn't always catch Ji Qingzhi and take advantage of her.
When the two were talking excitedly, Director Jiang also came over to join their camp and pointed at the temporary business notice that was sent out before: "The problem mentioned here is not referring to Ji Qingzhi's father, right?"
"Probably not." Yun Xiangrong shook her head. Uncle Ji's current condition is almost like a vegetative state. If there is really any news, whether it is good news or bad news, Qingzhi will not be able to resume business so quickly.
"That's good." Sometimes no news is also good news. After learning about Ji Yuanfu's current situation, Director Jiang prepared to visit him, even if it was just a glance from afar outside the ward. Otherwise he was worried that he would miss this opportunity and not know when the next one would be. Going to visit earlier would resolve an old issue and he would feel at ease.

Honestly speaking, Ji Qingzhi was a little disappointed when he saw Huo Yubai and his fans at the front of the comments, but then he thought, as long as more people can see this video, the way it is spread doesn’t seem to be that important.
Thinking of this, the subtle feeling in Ji Qingzhi's heart disappeared again. She continued to read the comments below. Most of them had the same idea as Huo Yubai, asking why it was posted at this time. Isn't this spreading poison late at night? Ji Qingzhi raised the corners of her lips. She ignored the point of time. Slowly, some people noticed the highlights.
Dancing Rabbit: So the ingredients of Ji’s Restaurant are grown by Ji Qingzhi himself?
Rainbow Cake: I thought I was the only one paying attention to this, the green onions next to the cabbage are growing so well.
Little White Rabbit Loves Radish: I was the only one who noticed the flower stand that just flashed by. I have to say, the environment here in Ji’s house is quite nice.
Lotus Leaf Round: You can tell at first glance that this cabbage is grown by ourselves. Its shape is not as good as those outside, but it looks delicious!
Qingqing Garden Sunflower: With such a small piece of land, can we grow enough food for so many people every day? Ji Qingzhi is indeed a master at hype.
Seeing such remarks, Chen Xinyu couldn't wait to step forward and like them. She originally wanted to continue the live broadcast and talk about Ji Qingzhi, but Ji Qingzhi's previous negative news was basically taking the blame for others. In addition, Song Panyan was eager to terminate the contract and was afraid that bad rumors would come out from her, so she directly had someone close her live broadcast room and warned her to be honest.
Song Panyan needs to confront Yan Si to terminate the contract, but warning Chen Xinyu is much easier, so now Chen Xinyu can only release her emotions by liking these negative comments.
Unfortunately, the comment she liked was quickly deleted. The other comments were all full of praise. In addition to Huo Yubai's comment, Yun Xiangrong also reposted it and expressed her desire to eat it.
Chen Xinyu hated Ji Qingzhi even more. If Ji Qingzhi accepted her application, she would have the opportunity to meet these two people and then have the chance to work as their assistant. Unfortunately, all of this was ruined by Ji Qingzhi.
Ji Qingzhi didn't know about Chen Xinyu's impotent rage. She glanced at Yun Xiangrong's forwarding and couldn't help but raise the corner of her lips. These two people are really something. It's just a meal, and they also provide super long after-sales service. When she was hesitating whether to reply on Big Eyed Boy or invite on WeChat, Xu Yu'an replied, and she was relieved.
What surprised Ji Qingzhi was that, in addition to the fans of the two, this video attracted more late-night fans, and everyone was asking for the tutorial. Ji Qingzhi thought, maybe next time he could put the ingredients on it and send it out as a tutorial, so that it would attract more people?
As for the recipe, she had said before that she was not afraid of it being leaked, because the same recipe would taste completely different in the hands of different people.
The number of late-night party members was greater than she had imagined. Some action-oriented people even dug out the cabbage from the refrigerator and started following the video, creating a late-night canteen trend.
Ji Qingzhi decided to seize this overwhelming wealth and immediately forwarded the video. He then brought up the topic of Ji's Restaurant's hot and sour cabbage and posted pictures of the hot and sour cabbage he made. The user with the most likes could get a portion of braised food and meat sauce.
Seeing this, those who had been following the trend at first started cooking more seriously, instead of being careless at the beginning. Since it was a competition, everyone's desire to win was immediately aroused.

After Gu Jingsi sent the edited video to Ji Qingzhi, he stopped paying attention to the matter. He did not expect to see the video on his assistant's tablet the next day. He was a little surprised: "Why are you suddenly interested in the food column?"
"At first I just felt that the editing technique was somewhat familiar, and then I thought the dish looked really delicious. Director Gu, how about we have spicy and sour cabbage for lunch today?" The assistant didn't take his eyes off the tablet while speaking.
"You decide on the arrangements." Gu Jingsi looked back and quickly turned away. There wouldn't be a next time anyway, so it would be better for Xu Yu'an to figure out a solution himself.
The assistant casually clicked on the topic and found out about Ji Qingzhi's lottery method. He decided to participate immediately. Recently, the news of Ji Qingzhi opening a restaurant has made quite a big fuss and almost everyone in the circle knows about it, but no one on Director Gu's side mentioned it. After all, the fact that Director Gu didn't like Ji Qingzhi started from last year's audition.
Director Gu had originally invited someone else to play that role, but who would have thought that Ji Qingzhi's agent would come forward and insist on fighting for the role. Gu Jingsi bluntly stated that the role required a lot of acting skills, and a vase like Ji Qingzhi clearly did not meet the requirements.
Everyone knew that Gu Jingsi hated such behavior of stealing roles, so they were not too surprised by his words, so no one would mention Ji Qingzhi in front of him. This was a good opportunity. He had long been craving for the braised food and meat sauce at Ji's restaurant, so he was determined to win this prize.
After a night of fermentation and late-night poisoning, words like "hot and sour cabbage" have already been on the tail of the trending searches. Ji Qingzhi thought that after she retired from the entertainment industry, she has become more and more prone to trending searches. However, compared to trending searches, she cares more about the points reward. When she clicked on the light pass, she heard the mechanical voice: "Promote hot and sour cabbage and get 8,000 points as a reward."
