Chapter 46 46 Old Ji's New Breakthrough
Seeing that Xu Yu'an didn't want to talk more, Ji Qingzhi didn't continue the topic, but just re-planned the stocking arrangement for this week. After giving him these 25 bottles, her previous plan would be postponed for another week. Fortunately, she didn't announce her plan before.
Seeing that Ji Qingzhi didn't ask any more questions, Xu Yu'an breathed a sigh of relief. He was not very good at lying. If she continued to ask, he would probably have to confess his relationship with Gu Jingsi. Xu Yu'an couldn't help thinking that once upon a time, he had always been proud of himself and Gu Jingsi, but now he wished that no one knew about their relationship.
"Just this once." Ji Qingzhi looked up and emphasized to Xu Yu'an.
"I know, thank you Sister Ji." Xu Yu'an quickly reached out and wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead. If it happened again, even if Gu Jingsi held the knife to his neck, he would not dare to make such a request again.
Ji Qingzhi couldn't help but look at him a little more. She always felt that he was a little uncomfortable today. Maybe he was embarrassed. For a moment, she regretted her emphasis just now.
"Then I should come and get it directly then?" Xu Yu'an asked.
"Or you can leave your address and we will send it directly by courier." Since setting up the lucky draw, Ji's Restaurant has had a stable courier cooperation.
"No, no." Xu Yu'an quickly shook his head to refuse. The relationship between him and Gu Jingsi could be kept secret for as long as possible. However, Sister Ji didn't look like someone who would be implicated.
After seeing off Xu Yu'an, Ji Qingzhi was preparing for the arrival of Jiang Yan and the others. Probably because he was afraid that it would be too awkward for him to come alone, Jiang Yan would still bring Yun Xiangrong and Huo Yubai with him this time. Their scenes on the mountain had already been filmed, so they should not need to prepare braised food and meat sauce. Soon, Ji Qingzhi turned his attention to the fish pond in the backyard, where he might try making fish soup.
After leaving Ji's Restaurant, Xu Yu'an called Gu Jingsi after returning to school. This time, the other end answered the phone quickly: "Done?"
"Brother, it's not as easy as you think. The meat sauce is all handmade, and the quantity is limited every day." Xu Yu'an began to complain. He planned to use the broken window effect to reject him in advance next time.
"So what?" Gu Jingsi frowned. What conditions did this guy want to propose? If it was not feasible, he would directly reject him at the beginning.
"I mean, can the number be less? Have you seen the account of Ji's Restaurant?" Thinking that he knew he was operating Ji's Restaurant because he watched the videos in the account, Xu Yu'an felt that this was fate and that debts must be repaid.
"Well, I know. Please try your best. You know that the conditions there are not good. I have prepared for this play for so long. I just hope to present my best side. So I hope the logistics can keep up as well." Gu Jingsi sighed after he finished speaking.
It seems that no one can resist the other party's "selling misery". As expected, Xu Yu'an, who was about to make a long speech, swallowed it back immediately after hearing it: "Then I will think of another way."
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Gu Jingsi curled the corners of his lips into the phone. After all, he and Xu Yu'an have been family for so many years, and he still doesn't know him?
After hanging up the phone, Xu Yu'an thought of the twenty-five bottles of meat sauce that Ji Qingzhi promised him. He regretted forgetting to ask if there were any kimchi. Forget it, he would ask next time.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, all the guests who had made reservations for today had left. While Aunt Liu was cleaning up the dishes, Li Yuanyuan was doing today's accounts. After finishing the work at hand, they could go home.
It was very simple to take stock of the accounts for the day. After finishing, Li Yuanyuan opened the account of Ji's Restaurant and browsed the comments below. She originally just wanted to check if anyone was leading the trend, but she didn't expect that everyone in the comments was calling Jin Yumantang and asking when this issue would be released.
Li Yuanyuan thought about it and decided to go to the backyard to tell Ji Qingzhi about it. Ji Qingzhi raised her eyebrows in surprise. She thought that the netizens’ request last time was just due to the atmosphere. Now it seems that everyone really wants this episode’s video. She hesitated, and then chose the first comment about Jin Yumantang to reply: I will do it as soon as possible.
Originally, she planned to wait for Qiu Tian and others to come to the store to cook this dish before recording, but now it seems that netizens can’t wait any longer.
Because the daily menu is decided by herself, Ji Qingzhi will set up a tripod to shoot the cooking video every day and then send it to Xu Yu'an for editing, so they currently have a lot of materials for the late-night poison series.
In order to add Jin Yumantang to the meal tomorrow, he had to slightly modify the list of ingredients for tomorrow. After doing all this, Ji Qingzhi got up and went to Uncle Li's house next door. Yes, Old Ji has made another breakthrough. Now every afternoon, Aunt Chen pushes him to the neighbors' house to chat for a while. Although he can walk now, he still chooses a wheelchair to go to far places like this. He just wants to get better quickly so that Ji Qingzhi won't have to suffer so much and he can give her another chance to make a new choice.
When she arrived at the gate of Uncle Li's courtyard, Ji Qingzhi heard the couple praising her. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, then slowed down her pace and continued to move forward. She saw the smile on Old Ji's face at a glance. It seemed that she hadn't seen such a smile for a long time. For a moment, she was a little dazed.
"Qingzhi is here. We were just talking about you." Aunt Li was the first to notice Ji Qingzhi. She smiled and moved a stool for her. Ji Qingzhi did not refuse and sat down and asked, "What are you talking about?"
“When you first took over the restaurant, no one was optimistic about you. Unexpectedly, you became such a big hit and boosted the flow of people to our Boulevard.” Aunt Li looked very happy.
This was the first time that Ji Yuanfu heard the story narrated from another perspective. Every time she told him this, she looked relaxed. Seeing the current popularity of the restaurant, he believed it. But what he heard from Lao Li and his wife was her hard work and various efforts. For a moment, Ji Yuanfu felt sad.
"That's not the case. Old Wu was saying this morning that thanks to Qingzhi, the income from his B&B is much better than before." Uncle Li also agreed with a smile.
"That's because no one discovered the beauty of our boulevard before." Ji Qingzhi waved his hand modestly, then turned back to look at Ji Yuanfu, reminding him with his eyes not to forget what happened today. The father and daughter play a game every day, listing tomorrow's menu according to Ji Qingzhi's shopping list.
"We all know who deserves the credit. By the way, Qingzhi, will you continue to act in the future?" Aunt Li avoided talking to Ji Yuanfu. In her opinion, Ji Qingzhi took over the restaurant with his own hands due to Ji Yuanfu's serious illness. After Ji Yuanfu recovers, he should be considerate of Qingzhi.
"No, I have terminated my contract with the company. I think cooking is more interesting than acting." Ji Qingzhi said with a smile. She was telling the truth. After all, her love for acting was not so pure in the beginning.
"Is that so?" Aunt Li felt it was a pity. Maybe it was because of old-fashioned thinking. She felt that it was much better for Ji Qingzhi to appear beautifully on TV than to stay in the kitchen.
Ji Yuanfu knew that his old neighbor was trying to warn him, so he took this opportunity to make his position clear: "Wait until I get better, and then we'll see what she wants to do. No matter what she wants to do, I won't stop her anymore."
Yes, whether she wants to find Qin Xiaoxiao or want to act, this time, I will not stop her.
"That's right, that's how it should be. People say it's a new era now, and we have to be open-minded parents so we won't be eliminated by the times." Uncle Li smiled and patted Ji Yuanfu on the shoulder.
Ji Qingzhi looked at Ji Yuanfu with some surprise. He didn't stop her from filming now. Why? So she teased, "Dad, are you afraid that I will take your job?"
"Yeah, now everyone knows you as Teacher Ji, and they don't remember me as Chef Ji." Ji Yuanfu also joked back, but what he was thinking about was the number he couldn't dial last night. He didn't know when she changed her number. For a moment, Ji Yuanfu felt a little regretful that he contacted her too late.
"Don't worry, when you return, you will still be Chef Ji." Ji Qingzhi said with a smile on his face.
"Then we can wait for that day." The person next to him said with a smile.
Thinking of the daily menu customization, Ji Yuanfu said goodbye to them and asked Aunt Chen next to him to push him back. Ji Qingzhi also stood up and took two steps forward to replace Aunt Chen's position: "Dad, let me push you."
"Can it be pushed? I've gained a lot of weight recently." Ji Yuanfu asked with a smile.
"Of course you can. Besides, you haven't gained weight at all. You've just fully recovered your previous weight." Ji Qingzhi retorted.
Ji Yuanfu smiled but said nothing. When they arrived at the backyard, Ji Qingzhi opened the shopping list in the notebook, and the father and daughter began to make menus based on the ingredients. Fifteen minutes later, two menus with a degree of overlap of 70 were successfully completed.
Ji Qingzhi pursed her lips and said, "Well, it's barely a tie. By the way, Dad, Jiang Yan and the others came to see your menu. What do you think?"
"I'll think about it today and write it to you tomorrow. You can refer to it yourself." Ji Yuanfu had a smile on his lips that he didn't even know he was smiling. He thought, probably no one doesn't like to be needed.
"Okay." Ji Qingzhi agreed readily. After Ji Yuanfu went to the fish pond, she began to take care of the vegetables in the vegetable garden. They were all growing very well. The peppers had already started to bloom small white flowers, and they should be able to bear fruit in two days. The eggplants and tomatoes next to them would probably be ready soon as well. Looking at these vegetables, Ji Qingzhi felt a sense of accomplishment.
She took a close-up photo of the vegetables in the garden. Hmm, the land over there is a little more empty. What vegetables should she plant tomorrow? While thinking, she posted all the photos she had just taken, and the comments below came in quickly.
Chunsu Xiaoxi: Teacher Ji, can you give me some advice? Can you include more backyard footage in your late night poison series videos in the future?
I am late: I second the motion. You look very comfortable.
Yiya Yiya Yiya: I want to see it too. I feel that the chickens and ducks in Teacher Ji’s house are very anthropomorphic.
The number of likes for the first comment was still increasing. Ji Qingzhi looked at the seedlings captured by his camera again and thought that this suggestion seemed not bad?
