Was fired and opened a gourmet food store

After New Year's Eve comes the first day of the new year.

After staying in the countryside for two days, Xu Ziqi felt a little bored and ran back to the city.

It happened that everyone was on holiday, so he sometimes took Ye Xiaoyu to spend time alone, and sometimes went out to play with a few friends.

He used this holiday time to relax his body and mind to the extreme.

And time passed quickly, and soon it was the sixth day of the new year.

At noon that day, Xu Ziqi slept soundly as usual. He played with Zhao Zhe and others until late these days, and his previous schedule had been disrupted.

"You are the most beautiful cloud in my sky, let me keep you with my heart~"

The phone rang, Xu Ziqi squinted his eyes, and while lying on his back, he fumbled to find the phone, clicked a few times before clicking the answer button, and then put it to his ear.

"Hello." A weak answer.

"Is it Xu Ziqi's phone?" A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Are you Brother Fang Ming?" Xu Ziqi's squinting eyes suddenly opened.

This voice was from Fang Ming. He had already changed his number, so Fang Ming probably didn't know about it.

The person on the other end of the phone explained quickly: "Yes, I got your number from Aunt Liang. Are you busy now? Did I bother you?"

"Not busy, I just woke up. Is there anything?"

"It's like this, um... have you eaten? I heard from Aunt Liang that you are in the city, and I am here too. If you haven't eaten, let's have a meal together."

Xu Ziqi thought for a moment and agreed: "Well, where should we eat?"

"I'll send you the address later."

Xu Ziqi hung up the phone and soon received a message from Fang Ming. He took a look and found that it was not far from here. It should be Fang Ming's special choice.

He got up, washed up, put on his clothes and went out.

When he arrived at the store, Fang Ming was waiting inside. He got up and waved. Xu Ziqi walked over and sat down after a few polite words.

"Brother Fang Ming, why did you suddenly ask me to have a meal?" Xu Ziqi asked after taking a sip of water.

"No hurry, order first and see if there's anything you like." Fang Ming smiled and handed over the menu, indicating that he was welcome to order.

Xu Ziqi didn't hesitate to take it and started ordering. This restaurant was a home-style restaurant. He had been here before and knew what dishes were delicious.

After ordering, Fang Ming casually chatted with Xu Ziqi about his recent situation while waiting for the waiter to take the menu away, such as whether he had a girlfriend and when he planned to get married.

Xu Ziqi also answered truthfully. After all, he was only busy with fireworks when they met last time and didn't talk about these things.

As they chatted, they recalled their childhood and smiled.

That was a very happy time, and when they were young, they had a good relationship. Although they were four years apart, they were childhood friends.

Then Xu Ziqi urged Fang Ming to tell him what he wanted. He could see that Fang Ming was a little embarrassed.

Fang Ming finally spoke, sighed, and said slowly: "I want to ask you for a favor."

"What favor?" Xu Ziqi asked.

Fang Ming is not the type to force people to do things. If he asks for help, it should be in his familiar field.

"It's like this."

Fang Ming said, "We are going to hold a banquet tomorrow. We have already agreed with the chef that we will prepare the dishes ourselves and he will bring people to cook for us."

"But I just received a call from his family, saying that he has fallen ill and is still in the hospital. He can't come..."

Xu Ziqi touched his chin after hearing this. He remembered that Fang Ming said that the chef who contracted the banquet was very famous.

According to this situation, he should have taken on too many jobs, and then ran around, and finally fell ill because his body couldn't support it.

Alas, he is still an ordinary person after all.

Xu Ziqi sighed silently in his heart.

Ordinary chefs who do not have physical skills given by the system will not be able to support themselves after years of work.

"You want to ask me for help to be responsible for tomorrow's wedding buffet." Xu Ziqi asked. He had guessed Fang Ming's intention.

Fang Ming nodded without hesitation, "I heard you say you are a chef before, and Aunt Lu and Aunt Fu have also eaten your dishes and said your cooking skills are very good."

"So, Ziqi, take a look here, if you can help, please help me." Fang Ming cast an extremely pleading look.

This wedding is very important to him, and no mistakes can be made in any link.

If it is done well, the future marriage life will be guaranteed.

If it is not done well, it may leave a thorn in the other party's parents in the future, leading to possible hidden dangers.
