Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder Hotline

She gently walked to the side of the stairs and sat down with her hands on her chin, lowering her head to look at the mottled shadows cast by the sunlight on the stone path at the entrance of the alleyway. There was an old pear tree planted at the entrance of the store, and it looked pitifully deformed, but the shadow of the leaf was constantly shaking on the ground due to the wind.

Just as she was enjoying herself, she actually didn't notice a figure standing in front of her. If this person hadn't opened his mouth to speak, it would have taken her a very long time to realize this.

"Miss Gao?" The person's voice was cold and without any emotion. It was just that the end of his sentence was slightly raised, indicating that he was asking a question.

She reached out her hand to block the sunlight above her head, and squinted as she looked at the person who had come over. However, this person was standing with his back facing the sunlight, so she could only see a vague outline, and she couldn't see his face at all. The only thing she could be sure of was that this person was tall and thin, and his figure was a little familiar.

The person also seemed to have understood the current situation of Qi Seventh. He took a step back and leaned to the side, and this time, Qi Seventh finally saw his face clearly. She quickly stood up and greeted him courteously.

"Mister Jia, what a coincidence, thank you very much for sending my father to the hospital last time. I originally wanted to visit you together with my father to thank you, but it seems like you weren't home during that time."

The breeze blew gently, the trees' shade was mottled, and the stone street in the alleyway seemed to have something that should not have been said to spoil the mood. However, Qi Qi Qi admitted that she did not have much of a relationship with this Mister Jia, so she could only dryly say some polite words, at least to prevent the scene from becoming too cold to watch.

"Miss Gao, you're too courteous. This was just a small matter. Miss Gao had already thanked you before at the hospital." The corner of Jia Kun's mouth slightly twitched. His originally expressionless face had a strange warmth to it from this smile.

"Mister Jia, why have you come here …" Qi Qi gave an embarrassed smile, retracted his absent-minded look from his smile, and asked. Today, his casual attire was just a simple jumper with khaki coloured pants underneath. His left hand was in his pocket, and his temperament seemed to match this ancient alley.

"I'm here to buy some pear paste. The elders of our family are coughing due to the weather. They are used to eating pear paste made by Grandma Xu. I came over to buy some today."

Qi Qi heard that a person like Jia Kun would also come specially for the Pear Paste. Just as she was about to inquire about the Pear Paste, a voice came from behind and interrupted her words.

"Mister Jia, you came. Look at me, I'm so muddleheaded. I wanted to welcome you at the door, but I actually fell asleep in the sun."

Qi Qi turned her head in the direction of the voice and saw that the old grandma, who was originally sleeping soundly on the recliner, hurriedly stood up. As she stood up, she hastily called out to Jia Kun, who was behind her.

Qi Qi Qi frowned slightly. Could this Grandma Xu have some connection with this Jia? The news she found on the internet was that this Grandma Xu had a weird temper. Although the pear paste she made was very popular, she was not cold nor hot to the customers.

"Mister Jia, please come in. The pear paste you wanted has already been prepared. Actually, you just need to call me and say goodbye. Why did you have to come all the way here? If you didn't say goodbye, I definitely wouldn't have let you come to such a simple place."

Grandma Xu hurriedly put away the reclining chair by the door as she guided Jia Kun into the room.

However, Jia Kun didn't immediately leave her and enter. Instead, he lowered his head and nodded at her. "Miss Gao also came for Grandma Xu's Pear Paste. Why don't we enter together?"

This person's elegance and demeanor did not seem to be cultivated from the day after tomorrow, but was rather innate. She had once seen Jia Kun in and out of the Gao family's villa and guessed that he lived in that area, but she did not know anything about his family background. From his words and actions, it was obvious that his family background was not simple at all.

This time around, Qi Qi Qi only wanted to finish the quest as quickly as possible in a limited amount of time. She did not want to cause too much trouble, so she put away her curiosity towards Jia Kun and politely thanked him for his invitation.

When Grandma Xu heard Jia Kun's invitation, she changed her previous cold attitude and smiled at him. When she entered the house, she immediately made tea for the two of them.

Qi Qi looked at the light brown tea on the tea table. Although it had yet to enter her mouth, she could already smell the unique aroma of the autumn pear. With this thought, Qi Qi didn't pretend to be polite and decline, but directly picked up the cup and took a sip.

Although he had no knowledge of Chinese herbal medicine, Qi Qi could tell that this pear paste definitely contained Chuan Bei, Loquat Leaf, Luohan Fruit and Glycyrrhiza uralensis, but as for whether it contained any other Chinese herbal medicine, Qi Qi Qi couldn't tell.

As the faint medicinal smell faded away, there was a refreshing yet not greasy sweet taste, a taste that belonged solely to the autumn pear. As the tea flowed down his throat, his slightly dry throat suddenly felt a sense of lubrication.

The effects of the pear paste was so shocking that it was no wonder Grandma Xu had such a weird temper. The store was also so remote, but there was still such a high level of popularity online.

Jia Kun looked at Qi Qi's actions of carefully savoring the wine with a thoughtful expression. When he lowered his head to pick up the cup, a glimmer flashed across his eyes. Other than himself, no one else felt anything amiss about him.

"Grandma Xu, your pear paste is really good. I don't know if there are any more stock, but I'd like to buy some more to drink. The weather has been dry recently, and there's a lot of sand. My dad's lungs aren't feeling well, so I bought some for him to moisten his lungs."

Qi Qi placed the teacup back on the table, then raised her head to smile sweetly at Grandma Xu who was standing to the side.

Grandma Xu looked at Jia Kun, who had been drinking his tea with his head down, and saw that he did not have any reaction, she then opened her mouth and replied with a smile, "Miss Gao can look up to this old woman and like her pear paste. That is my good fortune, ah, I made a pot of pear paste today and filled ten bottles! Mr. Jia ordered five bottles. If Miss Gao doesn't mind, you can take the rest. "

There was only one reason why she did not automatically think that she was attractive. She slightly turned her head to the side to look at Jia Kun, who had not said a word since he entered the door, but Qi Qi Qi knew in her heart that Grandma Xu's current attitude definitely had something to do with him.

However, no matter what tricks she had up her sleeve, it was still true that she had earned a lot today. She didn't have anything to worry about anyway, so she could accept Grandma Xu's goodwill without having to worry about it.

Qi Qi rolled her eyes and immediately thought of something. Since Grandma Xu had become so easy to talk to due to Jia Kun's existence, why not take advantage of the heat and strike the iron while it was still hot? She wanted to find out if there was any possibility of cooperation with her grandma.

"Elder, I'm particularly interested in the ancient formula left behind by the old ancestor. As I drink, I feel that Elder's pear paste is especially delicious. Do you have some kind of ancestral formula?"

She already knew what she was planning to do, but after looking at people for a lifetime, she knew that this little girl did not have any bad intentions, so she smiled and nodded. She did not deny it, but she did not continue on this topic.

Qi Qi saw the expression on Grandma Xu's face and knew that there was a way to accomplish this, but if he really wanted to do it, it would probably take some effort.

Jia Kun, who had been standing at the side without a word, looked at Qi Seven and asked carelessly, "Does Mister Gao want to do the catering business?"

Qi Qi Qi suddenly raised her head and looked at Jia Kun with a look of shock that she couldn't hide. After seeing his look of interest, she didn't pretend and openly admitted, "Yeah, dad wants to do food business online, what's wrong? Mister Jia is also interested? "

"Interests are alright, but Mr. Gao's insight is quite unique. I admire you for giving up your old profession at such a young age and joining an industry that you've never come into contact with before."

She didn't immediately answer because she didn't know how trustworthy his words were. Logically speaking, she had lived for so long in her previous life, especially after living in the business world for so many years, she still had a good eye for other people. But she really couldn't see through Jia Kun at all.

"Thank you, Mr. Jia, for your praise. If I could hear your praise, I would definitely be happy." She believed that there was a huge gap between the Jia family and the Gao family, and they would have very few chances of dealing with each other in the future. Since they would not meet often in the future, she did not need to spend so much time and effort trying to figure out who this person was.

Towards Qi Qi Qi's perfunctory reply, Jia Kun did not say much. He merely smiled and stood up. He picked up the bag that Grandma Xu had already packed and prepared to leave.

"I still have some matters to take care of in the afternoon. I believe that Miss Gao has matters to discuss with Grandma Xu. I will take my leave first and not disturb you any further!"

Upon hearing that Jia Kun was about to leave, Grandma Xu hastily stood up from her seat and rushed to open the door.

Seeing that the two of them had stood up, Qi Qi Qi couldn't sit down any longer, so she followed Grandma Xu and sent Jia Kun out of the door.

Mr. Jia, take care. If you still need pear paste in the future, just let me know. I will prepare and send it to you as soon as possible.

Jia Kun didn't bother with pleasantries and only nodded at Seventh Madame and Grandma Xu respectively before taking his leave.

When Jia Kun left, Qi Qi looked at Grandma Xu who was watching them from the doorway. She didn't know what to say.

She didn't know why, but although Jia Xian hadn't said anything back then, she felt more at ease. After he left, she felt as if she had no one to rely on. It was obvious that they weren't familiar with each other.
