He was about to respond when Yu Zhizhi interrupted him.
She frowned and said, "Forget it, it's cheaper to buy it outside."
Seeing that Yu Zhizhi was about to leave the private room, Manager Luo asked anxiously, "What are you going to do with the charcoal? If you're going to do something foolish, I won't rent your private room!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhizhi couldn't help but laugh.
She never expected that Manager Luo would have such a wild imagination, that he would actually think of committing suicide.
"Don't worry! I value my life."
Manager Luo forced a smile, but his expression clearly showed suspicion.
He pressed on, "So what exactly do you need the charcoal for?"
"You don't need to worry about that."
"Would you like some tea or drinks later? I promise I won't rip you off!"
Yu Zhizhi answered without hesitation, "No need, I brought my own."
Whether in ancient or modern times, the tea and drinks offered in restaurants are relatively expensive.
Yu Zhizhi is currently very poor, so naturally she is unwilling to waste this money.
Moreover, she had already spent a lot of money hosting the Sixth Prince for hot pot, so she decided to buy some cheap drinks outside.
Just a token gesture will suffice.
Manager Luo felt bitter as he watched Yu Zhizhi clutching her purse tightly like a miser.
He had originally hoped to earn more money from Yu Zhizhi, but he didn't expect her to be so shrewd that he couldn't succeed at all.
It seems like it will be much harder to fool her in the future.
After paying 100 coins, Yu Zhizhi returned to the Yun residence and began processing various ingredients.
Of course, hot pot wouldn't be complete without meatballs. Yu Zhizhi asked Ping An to help her mince the fish and pork into a paste, making fish balls and mushroom and pork meatballs.
She also made garlic oil dipping sauce and sesame sauce dipping sauce.
With everything ready and lunchtime approaching, Yu Zhizhi and He Ping'an carried the ingredients onto the carriage.
This time, she came to Fuju Restaurant through the back door.
There were too many people at the front gate, and Yu Zhizhi didn't want to be disturbed or have people discover that she came to Fuju Restaurant to apologize to the Sixth Prince.
Fortunately, with the help of the young and strong He Ping'an, the two of them only had to make two trips back and forth to put the things they brought into the private room on the second floor.
After placing the various ingredients on the table with Yu Zhizhi, He Pingan left Fuju Restaurant.
Yu Zhizhi was left alone to wait for the arrival of the Sixth Prince, Zhao Yunjin.
At this time, in the Sixth Prince's residence.
Zhao Yunjin was enjoying his lunch when Qi Yize, who had come to freeload and loved to join in the fun, sat opposite him.
While gnawing on a chicken leg, he grinned and said to Zhao Yunjin, "I really want to see how Yu Zhizhi will react when she's waiting for you so long she'll get angry."
At this moment, the guard Zhao Wu strode into the dining hall and reported: "Master, according to my investigation, Yu Zhizhi is already waiting for you at Fuju Restaurant."
"Strangely, she only rented a private room and didn't plan to order any food. Instead, she brought a stove that I'd never seen before, which was divided into two parts, one for white soup and one for red soup; also, there were many vegetables and meats on the table, but they were all raw."
What he didn't dare say was that he also saw pig brains and pig blood, which even dogs wouldn't eat.
Zhao Yunjin nodded.
It seems Yu Zhizhi wasn't lying; she really did cook herself.
But what's with these raw ingredients?
Qi Yize slammed his fist on the table in anger: "Yu Zhizhi has gone too far! She has absolutely no sincerity whatsoever! She actually made you eat raw food, is that even acceptable?"
"If you don't have money, don't pretend. I invited you to dine at Fuju Restaurant, but she was so stingy! I'm going to go to Fuju Restaurant and give her a good scolding to get revenge for you!"
After saying that, Qi Yize stood up aggressively, ready to confront Yu Zhizhi on behalf of his friend.
However, at that moment, Zhao Yunjin said calmly, "Sit down and eat properly, or don't come here to freeload next time."
Qi Yize stared at him with wide eyes: "Aren't you angry? That woman actually treated you like that..."
Zhao Yunjin's lips curled slightly, and he gently shook his head: "Why should I be angry? I never intended to go to the appointment in the first place."
However, her actions had piqued his curiosity. He didn't believe she would prepare raw ingredients to entertain someone who wanted to apologize.
Only private rooms are rented; no food is ordered.
Bring your own ingredients.
It's estimated that only Yu Zhizhi could come up with such a bizarre idea.
What dishes is she going to cook for him herself?
Qi Yize pressed on, "Are you really not going to go take a look?"
Zhao Yunjin ignored him and continued to enjoy his lunch, but the food didn't suit his taste, and he just filled his stomach perfunctorily.
Yu Zhizhi sat in the private room and waited and waited.
An hour has passed.
Lunchtime has already passed.
Manager Luo, who had been secretly observing her movements, was also very curious about what Yu Zhizhi was doing in the private room.
For over an hour, no one was seen going in, and there was no smell of food.
Of course.
Because Yu Zhizhi didn't even light the charcoal fire.
She planned to wait for the sixth prince to arrive before starting to heat the hot pot broth.
Otherwise, given the Sixth Prince's snail-like pace, the soup would probably boil dry before he even arrives.
At this moment, Yu Zhizhi, who was both hungry and sleepy, decided to wait for him a little longer.
Perhaps the Sixth Prince really was delayed by something.
Instead of letting her fly away!
This time, however, she plans to wait while she sleeps.
Zhao Yunjin, who was sitting in her study working diligently on a case, suddenly heard Zhao Wu come to report some news.
"Master, Yu Zhizhi has been waiting for you for a long time. She finally fell asleep on the table, and she fell asleep in an instant!"
As Zhao Wu spoke, he recalled the scene he had just witnessed, and was deeply shocked.
Qi Yize, who hadn't left yet, asked skeptically, "How do you know she fell asleep in a second?"
Zhao Wu scratched his head and explained, "I just heard her snoring. Although it wasn't very loud, it sounded like a pig squealing. It's very catchy."
"Hahaha!"
Qi Yize couldn't help but burst into laughter.
At this moment, Yu Zhizhi was sleeping soundly when she was suddenly woken up by the system.
Still not fully asleep, she angrily shouted, "Who dares to wake me up!"
She was having a wonderful dream, dreaming that a handsome man was feeding her hot pot!
The handsome man even gently took a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, but then...
"Host, it's me, Little Winter Melon!" the system said weakly.
"Rotten melon! Give me back my handsome man!"
Why is it called "rotten winter melon" again?
Little Winter Melon looked at Yu Zhizhi with a wronged expression and said pitifully, "Host, what you see in dreams is not real. If you want a handsome man, you can consider trying to win over the Sixth Prince. Once the scar on his face is healed, he will be a hot commodity!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhizhi immediately pictured the Sixth Prince's cold and unsmiling demeanor, and felt a chill run down her spine.
