Ke Meiyu said with a smile, "These past two days, you should lie in bed and drink some rice porridge to soothe your stomach. Then, your mother and grandmother will cook you lots of delicious food to nourish your body!"
"There are no dietary restrictions, as long as you don't have any allergies. You'll be able to get out of bed and exercise in two days."
Ji Yuchen took a deep breath and couldn't help but raise his arm and bite hard. The sharp pain brought a look of joy to his face, and all the gloom on his body dissipated in an instant!
At this moment, Qi Banxian opened the door, and the entire Ji family rushed in.
Second Sister-in-law Ji hugged her son tightly. She had heard everything Ke Meiyu had said. Overjoyed, she sniffled and asked, "Chenchen, what do you want to eat? Mom will make it for you!"
Ji Yuchen grinned and said, "Mom, I want to eat braised pork, braised eggplant, fried meatballs, and glutinous rice cakes..."
There were no children his age in the family, and everyone avoided eating with him. However, during holidays, the aroma of food would still waft faintly through the yard.
He could only eat egg white porridge and noodles every day, and he rarely ate boiled vegetables because his stomach was too weak. Therefore, Ji Yuchen's perception of the outside world came only from abstract books.
The book describes how delicious these dishes are, but because he lacks experience with them, it's hard for him to relate!
The old man had been bedridden for a year and a half, but now he couldn't wait to come over, leaning on his cane and supported by his eldest son. He walked over shakily, nodding and smiling incoherently, "Eat, let's try everything!"
"I have a lot of cookbooks at home, including imperial cuisine and folk recipes, which can definitely give you three different meals a day for a year."
Ke Meiyu's eyes lit up. "Grandpa Ji, do you really have such books? Could you lend me a couple to read? My mom is a great cook, and I'd like her to cook for me..."
"Yes, yes, yes, the books at home are for you to read. If you read them and apply them in real life, then the painstaking efforts of our ancestors in collecting them will not have been in vain." Grandpa Ji nodded with a smile.
His heart was still burning with passion, and he immediately ordered his uncle to go to the study to find a few cookbooks.
He also specified a name, which was naturally one that he thought was presentable.
Ke Meiyu laughed and followed her uncle Ji to the study to search for treasure.
The system store isn't omnipotent; it's just a department store in a future time with highly developed technology. It doesn't have everything, just like many ancient civilizations from that era have been lost and cannot be verified.
Of course, Ke Meiyu's space also has many rare books of various kinds, but the power of the space master alone cannot match the wisdom and heritage of the Ji family!
The Ji family had no suspicion of her. They continued to surround their only grandson, Ji Yuchen, smiling and telling him where to go, what to eat, what to wear, and so on, once he recovered.
Uncle Ji took the key and went to the old man's house. He pushed open three heavy wooden boxes, then felt around on the ground. After a slight clicking sound, a piece of ground was slowly lifted up to reveal a jade step!
Ke Meiyu was stunned for a moment. Thinking that the Ji family had once produced a Grand Tutor, they would naturally leave many ways out and tricks for their descendants, right?
The steps are almost vertical, making them difficult to spot.
The secret room wasn't small; it was almost half the size of a football field! It was exactly the size of the Ji family's ancestral home next door.
It contains many things, including gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, jade, and so on, all of which are of high quality and have been passed down by the Ji family for hundreds of years.
But for the Ji family, the greatest treasure was the dense collection of books covering all four walls!
With such a profound background, it's no wonder that the Ji family was able to become a giant in the cultural industry later on.
Uncle Ji smiled and introduced to her: "This secret room built by the Ji family is hundreds of years old. There are 81 mechanisms inside. It can be said that no one except the direct descendants of the Ji family can enter alone without any casualties."
"Even if our Ji family line ends, if someone else digs out the jade tunnel, they will trigger the mechanism and destroy the entire warehouse."
"Because that means we didn't choose a successor for the Ji family at that time."
The reason why some people do not choose a successor is simple: they are completely disillusioned with the world and its people.
"Yu Yiming thought he had made full use of the Ji family, but little did he know that this was a deliberate deception by our patriarch, making people think that our Ji family had nothing left, so that no one would need to bother with us in the future."
Ke Meiyu suddenly realized why Yu Yiming had treated the Ji family so well without receiving any punishment.
She didn't believe the Ji family was so old-fashioned as to be capable of such a foolish act as repaying evil with kindness. So that's why!
"Alas, it was our underestimation of the enemy that allowed that kid to gain enlightenment without us even realizing it," Uncle Ji said with a wry smile, shaking his head.
Who would have thought that Yu Yiming would know the art of Gu poison and viciously plant Gu worms on everyone in the Ji family, intending to cut off the Ji family's lineage?
"Uncle, no one is a god, how can anyone read people's hearts?"
"However, you should be careful when making friends or even getting married in the future. And I suggest that you never carelessly show off your family's treasures to others unless absolutely necessary." Ke Meiyu wouldn't be tempted by that.
Because the only things that can attract her are delicious food and increasing her peace value.
But others find it hard to resist this temptation.
Uncle Ji said, both amused and exasperated, "Little brat, who do you think is like you, calling people 'sister' and 'brother' based solely on your own preferences, as if you'd pour your heart out to them?"
“Our Ji family members all undergo systematic training and are only informed of the existence of this warehouse after passing the test.”
"It can be said that anyone who can enter here will keep their mouth shut, and even their spouse cannot find out a thing."
"You are a benefactor of the Ji family; you may choose whatever you like from the storeroom."
Ke Meiyu held the luminous pearl, which shone with a soft glow, and asked in surprise, "How do you know I am your benefactor? Shouldn't it be Qi Banxian?"
Uncle Ji picked up the detailed list in the book and looked up the recipes, then said with a smile, "Do you think we've read so many books and are just armchair strategists?"
"If Master Qi were to treat us, would we have been able to hold out until now? There must be something you're doing here."
However, they wisely knew when to stop and didn't delve deeper.
Ke Meiyu frowned slightly. "Is it that obvious?"
Hasn't her disguise been exposed?
Uncle Ji picked out the cookbooks according to the bookshelf locations recorded in the detailed list. "It's not obvious, it's just that we are good at observation and reasoning."
“Your aunt said you’re quite capable now, able to treat illnesses and improve health. But we weren’t initially too interested.”
Ke Meiyu sighed and said dejectedly, "Am I just blinded by a leaf in your eyes?"
"And all that trouble I went to find a scapegoat..."
