Qin Minghong subconsciously waved the folding fan in his hand, a gentle smile on his lips. “1 know you two have a deep relationship, but you don’t have to be so protective, right?”

“Shen Yao is my husband. I don’t like others talking bad about him in front of me!” Ji Zhao smiled and accepted the invitation. “However, we naturally won’t miss Brother Qin’s birthday banquet.”

“Should I send someone to pick you up?” Qin Minghong suggested softly.

“That won’t be necessary.” Ji Zhao declined with a smile. “But Brother Qin, don’t worry. Shen Yao and I will definitely attend the banquet on time. ‘

“Ah Tao, actually, I have a presumptuous request.” Qin Minghong thought for a moment and pleaded sincerely, “Can you help make some appetizers?” “Appetizers?” Ji Zhao was a little curious. “Brother Qin, what do you want?”

“I’m sure Ah Tao has heard about it, right? Recently, my aunt has moved back to the residence from the side courtyard. However, I heard that her appetite hasn’t been good, so I’m really a little worried.” Qin Minghong explained softly, “Ah Tao, you might not know this, but when I was young, if not for my aunt taking care of me in secret, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to grow up healthy.”

“Are you indebted to First Madam Qin?” Ji Zhao raised her eyebrows slightly , feeling even more curious.

“Yes.” Qin Minghong nodded without hesitation. ‘That’s why I want to do something for Aunt. I heard from Nanny Wu that Aunt has lost her appetite recently. That’s why I want you to make some refreshing appetizers.”

“I wonder if First Madam Qin has anything she doesn’t eat?”

“Eldest Aunt doesn’t have any dietary preferences. She just likes sweet things.” Qin Minghong remembered that when he was young, the pastries that Eldest Aunt had sent to Weirui Pavilion were mostly sweet.

“I see.” Ji Zhao was enlightened. “No wonder First Madam Qin was full of praise for my snowflake cake! ”

“Ah Tao, you’ve met my aunt?” Qin Minghong was very surprised.

“We met once through a screen.” After Ji Zhao’s concise explanation, Qin Minghong was even more surprised. He actually didn’t know that the Immortal Crane and his aunt were old friends?

“Brother Qin, I’ve thought of something.” Ji Zhao instantly had an idea. “How about this? I’ll go to the kitchen now. After I’m done, Brother Qin, can you bring back the dishes I made for First Madam Qin to try?’

“Alright.” Qin Minghong smiled gratefully. “Ah Tao, thank you!”

“Brother Qin, you’re being too polite!” Ji Zhao smiled nonchalantly. Qin Minghong thought about it and followed her into the kitchen.

“Ah Tao, is there anything I can help you with?”

Ji Zhao thought for a moment and chose two thick lotus roots before handing them to him. “Then I’ll have to trouble Brother Qin to clean these two lotus roots.”

“Okay.”

Ji Zhao was going to make two cold dishes. They were cold lotus root slices and cold beef.

After all, she felt that cold dishes were more appetizing than hot dishes. Coupled with the fact that it was the end of the tumultuous day, cold dishes would be more comfortable to eat.

In addition, she also considered the distance between Yinchuan Inn and the Qin Residence. If she made two hot dishes for Qin Minghong to bring back, the dishes would probably turn cold before First Madam Qin could taste them.

After considering these factors, Ji Zhao decided to make cold dishes.

Compared to cold lotus root slices, cold beef was more complicated. Although there was some braised beef in the inn’s kitchen, Ji Zhao felt that the taste of the braised beef was average.

She thought for a moment and decided to process the braised beef again. She would use the secret sauce to braise the beef again. When the taste was completely in line with her requirements, she would start making cold beef. “It smells so good.” The fragrance that filled the air made one’s mouth water.

Qin Minghong gulped.

“The braised beef must be fully cooled before being sliced.” Ji Zhao was cutting the green melon when she heard Qin Minghong’s voice. She smiled and explained, “This way, the beefwon’t fall apart.”

“In the past, I only knew that there were many delicious dishes in the world, but I didn’t know that there were so many tricks hidden in these seemingly ordinary dishes. ‘

‘Whether it’s learning to cook or doing business, as long as you know the methods, it won’t be difficult,” Ji Zhao said with a smile. “Just as the oil seller said, there’s no other trick but to be familiar with it.”

“Ah Tao, how great would it be if I knew you before Shen Yao married you!” Qin Minghong could not help but smile and sigh. “If I knew you first, I would definitely make you happy and marry you!’

“Brother Qin, are you that confident that I will marry you?” Ji Zhao subconsciously raised her eyebrows and looked at him with an indiscernible smile.

‘Would you not?” Qin Minghong asked with a hurt expression.

“I’m afraid not.” Ji Zhao smiled very honestly. “After all, my husband is incomparably handsome. Although Brother Qin is considered handsome, compared to my Shen Yao, there’s still a gap… ‘

“Ah Tao, don’t say anymore.” Qin Minghong pretended to cover his chest and said sadly, “If you continue, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to eat dinner..

Ji Zhao smiled without saying anything.

An hour later, Qin Minghong, who was carrying the food box, thanked her again before he left.

“Ah Tao, thank you so much!”

“Brother Qin, if you feel bad, can you accompany us to find a few more shops after Shen Yao finishes his exam?” Ji Zhao said with a smile. “l want to book the location of Spring Breeze Pavilion as soon as possible.”

“Okay.”

As soon as Qin Minghong left the inn, Ji Zhao welcomed another uninvited guest.

Lu Hongshan, who was wearing a white veil, glared at Ji Zhao with hatred.

“Give me the antidote!”

“Miss Lu, what do you mean?” Ji Zhao pretended to be confused and blinked. ‘What antidote?”

‘You still dare to pretend?” Lu Hongshan was so angry that her eyes were bloodshot. “Don’t tell me you want to do this the hard way? ‘

“Indeed, I don’t understand what Miss Lu means.” Ji Zhao suddenly curled her lips and smiled. “However, Miss Lu should have heard of the phrase ‘to give someone a taste of their own medicine, to pay back in one’s own coin’, right?’ “JiAh Tao, I’ll give you one last chance. Hand over the antidote or I’ll make you wish you were dead!’

Lu Hongshan gritted her teeth and glared at her angrily.

“Sorry, I can’t accompany you anymore.” Ji Zhao could not be bothered with Lu Hongshan, who was acting like a mad dog. She planned to go to the kitchen to make beef noodles and eat together with Shen Yao when he returned.

When Lu Hongshan saw her leave without looking back, she was furious!

Concerned that there were too many people in the inn, Lu Hongshan tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart and turned to leave.

If she couldn’t ruin Ji Ah Tao’s reputation and make her life a living hell, she wouldn’t be called Lu Hongshan!

The sky turned dark, and it was already dusk.

When Shen Yao returned to the inn, the smiling Ji Zhao came to his side with a bowl of fragrant beef noodles.

“My Zhaozhao is so considerate.” Shen Yao smiled gently, his eyes filled with gentleness..
