Hearing this, Xu Junshen glanced at him indifferently, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said with a hint of teasing:
"You used to look down on this boxed lunch, so why are you suddenly so enthusiastic about it? Why don't you go to Fuju Restaurant by yourself for lunch tomorrow!"
Jiang Lanzhi pouted in dissatisfaction, muttering under his breath, "No way!"
"Cousin, I really know I was wrong. I shouldn't have underestimated this little stall before."
Just now, he was surprised to find that the people who came here to eat boxed lunches were really diverse.
Not only were there court officials, but also many wealthy families.
You have to understand, these people have tasted all sorts of delicacies in their daily lives.
However, the fact that they are now willingly queuing up to buy boxed meals is enough to prove just how superb this Miss Yun's cooking skills are.
Time flew by and it was already late noon.
Most of the diners had already left, with only a small number remaining to leisurely enjoy their meal.
Among those who have not yet left, some are sitting with relatives, friends, or close confidants, enjoying delicious food and chatting enthusiastically.
Others bring their own fine wines, enjoying a bite of food followed by a sip of wine, truly embodying the art of living.
However, among these people, there are a few who are particularly noteworthy.
At that moment, Yun Zhizhi, who was enjoying her lunch in peace, was suddenly drawn to the two elderly people at the table not far away.
She stared intently at the heartwarming scene before her, a feeling of deep emotion welling up inside her.
The old man with gray hair was feeding his wife with extreme gentleness and patience.
He would also hand her water from time to time and gently wipe away any food residue left on the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.
His eyes, filled with deep affection and tenderness, were like a gentle stream flowing in spring, gazing at her with tenderness.
Unfortunately, the elderly woman, who was not in a good mental state, was not very cooperative at the moment.
She was tightly hugging an adorable Lazy Sheep plush toy, as if it were her most beloved child. She was mimicking how her husband usually cared for her, carefully feeding the toy a spoonful of food while murmuring:
"Aze, Grandma is feeding you. Be good, try it and see if it tastes good."
Zhao Wuzheng happily picked up a piece of spicy chicken cubes that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside and put it into his mouth.
As he was enjoying his meal, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Yun Zhizhi staring intently at the table opposite him.
Out of curiosity, Zhao Wu also turned his gaze in that direction.
He blinked, then sighed softly and said to Yun Zhizhi in a low voice, "Alas! Look at this old lady Qi, she is so pitiful."
"Since she was diagnosed with dementia, she has not only been prone to forgetting things, but her emotions have also become very unstable. Fortunately, Mr. Qi has always stayed by her side, taking meticulous care of her and never abandoning her."
After a pause, Zhao Wu continued, "And then there's Young Master Qi, who is also known for his filial piety. In order to make his grandmother happy, he often goes to great lengths to find all sorts of strange and unusual things to bring back to please the old lady."
"What's even more remarkable is that, in order to cure Madam Qi's illness, he searched almost the entire Chu Yun Kingdom and invited countless renowned doctors to come and treat her. Unfortunately, so far, he still has no clue and cannot find an effective treatment method."
Before even hearing these words, Yun Zhizhi had already guessed the true identities of the elderly couple in front of her.
Especially when the old woman mentioned "Aze", Yun Zhizhi was almost certain that this person must be Qi Yize.
In addition, the person who was sent to deliver meals to the Qi residence yesterday returned and reported that there was no need to deliver meals there today.
Upon hearing this news, Yun Zhizhi initially had some doubts, thinking that Grandpa Qi and Grandma Qi might not like the meals she had prepared.
It turned out that Grandpa Qi planned to bring his wife to the dock to enjoy a boxed lunch.
His actions were probably intended to take this opportunity to bring his wife out for a relaxing stroll.
At this moment, Yun Zhizhi skillfully picked up a piece of dry-pot potato with her chopsticks. It smelled deliciously caramelized and was even more fragrant than meat. She then quickly put it into her mouth and chewed it gently.
Because her mouth was full of food, her speech was somewhat slurred: "Has Young Master Qi gone to see Doctor Zhou?"
Zhao Wu nodded, a hint of regret on his face, and sighed, "We've already looked. Unfortunately, even the renowned physician Zhou, whose medical skills are second to none, was helpless in this matter."
"It seems that Madam Qi's later years will be spent in a state of madness."
Yun Zhizhi ate her meal slowly while watching Grandpa Qi showering everyone with affection.
The whole process was quite intense and enjoyable.
During this time, a thought suddenly flashed through Yun Zhizhi's mind.
She decided to do something really good!
Once we get back to the Yun residence, I'll summon Little Winter Melon immediately.
"My lord, I would also like to add some cold fern root noodles."
Zhao Wu, who had a great appetite, held his empty plate, glancing from time to time toward the main food area not far away.
Hearing this, Yun Zhizhi followed Zhao Wu's gaze, then smiled and nodded, saying, "Go!"
However, Zhao Wu did not set off immediately. He looked at Yun Zhizhi with some hesitation, seemingly wanting to go but worried that it would be unsafe to leave her there alone.
Yun Zhizhi seemed to read his mind: "It'll only be a short while, don't worry about me getting into trouble. Besides, there are guards protecting us here."
Hearing this, Zhao Wu was somewhat relieved and quickly replied, "Master, then this subordinate will definitely finish this quickly!"
After saying that, he walked briskly toward the main food section.
But to everyone's surprise, no sooner had Zhao Wu left than several people quickly surrounded Yun Zhizhi.
Catch her off guard!
