Chapter 426: Four hundred twenty-six Qianlong white cabbage_1

In the evening, Ji Pianran came back from outside.

Today, she seemed to be in a much better mood than yesterday.

When she resolutely chose to trust Gu Chen, a great deal of pressure was released from her heart.

She believed that with Gu Chen’s calm guidance, there would absolutely be no problem with the advertising slogan.

In the beginning, she had no such concept, but now it had formed.

No matter when, she firmly believed that Gu Chen would never harm her.

After returning home, she saw Gu Chen helping Xiao Fang with homework and also saw him cooking while wearing an apron.

The hormones of happiness surged within her!

She had obtained the man that everyone in the newspapers and on television would envy!

Gu Chen did not think so much; for him, this simple and plain life had always been his aspiration.

Besides that, he was researching his new dishes.

He was considering whether to introduce a new cold dish or maybe add a new hot dish?

For main dishes, he felt there was no need to bother; the buns from Qiwei Vegetarian in Chuan City were unrivaled, and he dared say there was no one who would claim to be better.

Therefore, he decided to consider adding another cold dish, "Qianlong Cabbage"!

This dish was very simple to make, and could be considered a common snack among the people.

Creating something with distinction was quite difficult for a dish that countless people had become tired of making.

Fortunately, Gu Chen had Spiritual Spring; growing cabbage beside Spiritual Spring should certainly yield twice the result with half the effort.

By then, it would definitely be able to provide a different experience.

Gu Chen decided he would try it out tomorrow to see if his idea would be successful.

The family of three sat at the table, with Tangtang holding a candied haw that Gu Chen had bought for her in one hand, and chopsticks in the other.

This small action caught Ji Pianran’s eye, and she immediately brought up the issue.

"Tangtang, hasn’t Mom told you that we should concentrate on our meal, and not do other things while eating?" she said to Tangtang.

"We are growing right now, and we should eat more of the main meals Dad makes. Is Dad’s cooking not delicious?"

Ji Pianran spoke to Tangtang earnestly and patiently.

Tangtang was at the age where she was starting to become a worry and less obedient.

For them, it was time to start challenging the established rules and constraints.

For example, Ji Pianran had said that one should concentrate during meals and not snack at the table.

It was a form of respect for the food and for the other diners around.

But in Tangtang’s eyes, she found that she could very well eat her regular meal with snacks, so why should she continue to follow a rule that did not make things more convenient for her?

Because of this, she began to attempt to break free from the current set of rules.

Bit by bit, she was forming her own independent thoughts, eventually becoming her true self.

The process would be very long, from Tangtang’s last years of elementary school until college.

For most people, it is not until after graduating and working for a few years, or perhaps after getting married, that they truly grow up.

Seeing Ji Pianran and Tangtang, Gu Chen felt this.

It was a recognition of Tangtang truly growing up bit by bit.

Maybe one day in the future, they would truly no longer be able to control Tangtang.

By then, her personality and habits would have been largely set in stone.

Thinking about this made Gu Chen feel a slight sadness.

He did not know whether Tangtang would still be obedient then.

Parents, of course, hope that their children can stay by their side longer, desiring to provide more security for them.

But now Gu Chen realized his thoughts were clearly looking too far ahead.

Tangtang was rather obedient. After Ji Pianran finished speaking, Tangtang immediately set her candied hawthorn aside and began to eat very demurely.

As the saying goes, "No talking while eating, no chatting while sleeping," the dining process was relatively quiet by comparison.

After finishing the meal, Tangtang returned to her own room to sleep.

Ji Pianran stayed to help Gu Chen clean up the dishes.

"Is everything still running smoothly in the shop?" Ji Pianran asked Gu Chen.

"It’s been fine, nothing unexpected has happened," Gu Chen replied.

There really wasn’t much that could go seriously wrong in the shop.

It was just trivial, petty stuff after all.

Gu Chen hadn’t planned on telling Ji Pianran about the day’s events to prevent her from worrying.

He understood Ji Pianran’s personality all too well; if he told her, she would definitely have concerns.

She might even be preoccupied with these thoughts during her time at the group during the day.

"Lately, it seems Tangtang has been a bit less compliant," Ji Pianran stated.

Gu Chen had thought this through thoroughly and said with a smile, "The child is growing up, and we shouldn’t always control her. We just need to guide her in the right direction.

No matter how she changes, she is still our child."

What Gu Chen said was quite true.

No matter what Tangtang would turn into in the end.

Perhaps one day when Tangtang reaches adulthood, she’ll be even more different.

Different stages of life, including the rebellious phase, are all part of growing up.

If parents cannot prepare themselves mentally in advance,

they might find it hard to accept when that day eventually comes.

At this moment, Ji Pianran nodded; she knew that what Gu Chen said made sense.

Indeed, Tangtang’s road to growth is still a long one.

"Shall we, as a family of three, go out for a trip some time?" Ji Pianran asked Gu Chen.

Taking a child to broaden their horizons while they are young

is incredibly important for their development.

The influence of travel on a child may not be instantly apparent, but it has a subtle and profound effect.

"Sure, let’s go when we get a chance, once things in the company have temporarily stabilized,"

Gu Chen told Ji Pianran.

Whether it’s Qiwei Vegetarian or in the group, there really is a lot going on right now.

Gu Chen at least needs to ensure Xiao Fang can proficiently master all of his specialties.

When they returned to the bedroom at night,

Ji Pianran washed her face and then lay down on the bed.

While she was washing her face, Gu Chen suddenly thought of something.

Women at present don’t have much of a concept about skincare.

And yet, a high-profit item hasn’t surfaced.

Facial masks! For any woman, this product is a killer weapon.

A facial mask with just a few cents’ cost can easily sell for several dollars apiece at a high price.

The profit is incredibly terrifying! The early companies that made facial masks can be said to have made a fortune.

The primary means by which facial masks exploded in popularity cannot be separated from celebrities.

In the beginning, this was referred to as a star product.

Gu Chen swiftly processed these thoughts in his mind and realized that this might be something he could do in the future.
