"Miaomiao, you are here." Yin Ya's eyes lit up and then she greeted her naturally.
"Um, Sister Ya, we moved to a new house in advance, so I came over to have a look." Tian Miao scratched her head and said embarrassedly.
"That's pretty good. Do you like the new house?" Yin Ya asked.
"I like it very much. It's very spacious. Although there aren't many people, it's very quiet." Tian Miao nodded her head vigorously and smiled. She indeed looked very happy.
"That's good." Yin Ya nodded her head and didn't say anything more.
Even though Yin Ya already knew the reason why Tian Miao moved, she was still considerate and didn't say anything. She didn't even indicate that she knew about Tian Miao's family background.
"Um, um. Thank you, Sister Ya." Tian Miao thanked her.
"You're welcome. I still have the cardboard boxes from a few days ago. Do you want them today?" Yin Ya asked with a smile.
"Miaomiao, I've become lazy without you. I didn't even bring them to throw when I came here. So, I have to trouble you, Miaomiao." Yin Ya flipped her hair and said helplessly.
"I should thank you, Sister Ya." Tian Miao said with sparkling eyes.
"Don't mention it. We are helping each other." Yin Ya blinked her eyes at Tian Miao and said.
"Um." Tian Miao nodded her head vigorously.
With that said, Yin Ya led the way in front, and Tian Miao carefully followed behind her. As long as they met someone, she would carefully avoid them.
In such a crowded street like Taoxi Road, Tian Miao didn't meet anyone when she walked out with Yin Ya. She was really careful.
"Miaomiao, there are a lot of cardboard boxes today. I'm afraid you can't carry them all by yourself. Actually, we have a person downstairs who specializes in collecting cardboard boxes. Do you want me to call him over?" Yin Ya asked.
"Um. Thank you, Sister Ya." Tian Miao thought for a second and immediately nodded her head.
"Not at all. I'm only responsible for taking them down. The rest is up to you, Miaomiao," Yin Ya said.
"Okay. No problem." Tian Miao nodded her head seriously.
With that said, Yin Ya took Tian Miao to her workplace and waited. She went up to get the packed cardboard boxes.
Yin Ya didn't force Tian Miao to wait in the hall. Instead, she brought her to stand in a leeward place before going upstairs.
Before going upstairs, Yin Ya gave a call to an auntie who collected the trash and invited her over. Then, she brought Xiaochen down with her to move the cardboard boxes.
Yes, when Yin Ya said it was a lot. It was so much that she couldn't carry it all by herself. She had to carry it with Xiaochen.
"They're all here. Miaomiao, I'll leave the rest to you." Yin Ya clapped her hands and said straightforwardly.
"Mhm. Thank you, Big Sister Ya. Thank you, Big Sister Xiaochen." Tian Miao bowed politely and thanked them one by one.
"You're welcome, you're welcome. Do you need my help?" Xiaochen didn't know what was going on, but she couldn't help but ask when she saw how obedient the little girl was.
"No, I can do it." Tian Miao shook her head.
"Okay, then we're leaving. This auntie is in charge of collecting the trash." After saying that, Yin Ya turned around and left with Xiaochen.
"Thank you, Big Sister Yin Ya. Thank you, Big Sister Xiaochen." Tian Miao's voice came from behind.
Although Xiaochen felt a little strange being pulled away, she still followed Yin Ya obediently and left.
Yuan Zhou knew some things about Tian Miao. He had also done some things for her, but he didn't say it out loud.
Another uneventful day passed.
The next morning, Wuhai ate his breakfast sneakily and left quickly.
Why was it sneaky? It was because it kept a low profile and didn't talk to other customers. Also, it ate very quickly. Although the Black Beast ate fast, it ate even faster recently.
Yuan Zhou rubbed his chin and looked at Wuhai, who left quietly after finishing his lunch. He thought to himself, This Black Beast is very strange. I wonder what it's planning.
Another thing that caught Yuan Zhou's attention was the antique shop owner, Zong Mo, who he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Old Zong, I haven't seen you for a long time. Where have you been?" A customer greeted him.
Although Zong Mo had only been in Yuanzhou shop for less than a year, he quickly became familiar with the customers. Moreover, he was quite a righteous person. All the customers of The Kitchen God got a discount when they bought things in the shop.
"I went to the countryside to collect some stuff. I wanted to rush back for breakfast this morning, but the plane was delayed, so I could only have lunch," Zong Mo replied.
It was said that people would miss their parents' home cooking after not eating for a long time. For a foodie, it had been a long time since they had eaten Yuan Zhou's dishes, so they really missed it.
Therefore, Zong Mo ordered two more dishes than usual. He wanted to eat until he was full. He didn't leave immediately. Instead, he sat on the bench at the entrance and rested.
After lunch, Zong Mo found Yuan Zhou and said, "Boss Yuan, I have something to trouble you with."
Zong Mo took out an ancient book from the small canvas bag he was carrying on his back. Although the canvas bag felt tattered, the ancient book inside was well wrapped.
"I collected an ancient book from the countryside this time. It's about chefs, but I'm not sure if it's real or fake. Boss Yuan, you are very knowledgeable. Let me have a look," Zong Mo said.
Yuan Zhou looked at Zong Mo, who had a serious look on his face. Zong Mo's words were too fake. As an antique shop owner, if he couldn't even identify an ancient book, his shop would have closed down long ago.
"I bought it for a few hundred yuan. Although it's not worth much, I still feel bad if I made a loss." Zong Mo added, "Most importantly, I took a look at it. It seems to be a list of the emperor's meals."
The emperor's meal list instantly aroused Yuan Zhou's interest. Looking at Zong Mo who was earnestly asking for advice, Yuan Zhou said, "Let me have a look. I'm definitely not as knowledgeable in ancient books as you are, Boss Zong. As a chef, I can only judge whether the delicacies on the list are real or fake."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Boss Yuan. Boss Yuan, you look so good. If it's real, it'd be best if these dishes can be put on the menu of your restaurant. Hey Hey." Zong Mo handed the ancient book to Yuan Zhou carefully. The last sentence revealed Zong Mo's purpose.
Zong Mo had been waiting at the door of the restaurant just for this matter. After that, he would say goodbye and leave.
After seeing Zong Mo off, Yuan Zhou went back to the restaurant and opened the ancient book gently. After all, an antique was an antique and had to be treated with care.
This ancient book was called Banquet Record. It recorded a banquet menu, but it wasn't the famous banquet delicacies that were famous in history. Instead, it was a banquet that Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty had visited the mansion of Zhang Jun, the Duke of Qinghe, and then Zhang Jun had invited the emperor to a banquet.
About this banquet, Yuan Zhou had heard of it. Some people said it was the most expensive banquet in legends. According to the current price, the total value of the delicacies was more than 3 million RMB.
Besides, they were all spent on the delicacies. However, it was just a rumor. There were only a few records of it in Old Stories of Wulin. Now, Yuan Zhou finally saw the menu.
This ancient book wasn't thin, but it was just a list. It didn't record the cooking methods and only occasionally mentioned the ingredients.
"It's very authentic." Yuan Zhou skimmed through it and judged.
Not to mention other things, it was quite troublesome to list 138 kinds of fruits.
"The Song Dynasty was the peak of the literati, but also the peak of the culinary culture. Nowadays, many dishes are developed by the Song Dynasty." Yuan Zhou counted and found there were more than 400 dishes including the dishes with wine and after-meal snacks.
Although Yuan Zhou's culinary skills were very high now, he still couldn't cook several dishes on the list.
Of course, the reason why he couldn't cook them was that he didn't know what exactly they were.
For example, there was an after-meal snack called Red Embroidered Ball Cave Heaven. According to the ancient book, the main ingredient was the winter melon. First of all, the name "Red Embroidered Ball Cave Heaven" was too euphemistic. Anyway, Yuan Zhou had more than a dozen ways to turn the winter melon into a snack, but none of them seemed to have anything to do with the name.
Just when Yuan Zhou was studying the Banquet Record, Su Ruoyan used her phone to do a part-time job as she had nothing to do in the afternoon. Yuan Zhou didn't ask her what exactly she was doing.
It was quite calm in the restaurant, but it was definitely turbulent on the Internet.
Two o 'clock in the afternoon was an important day for most of the foodies.
Because the weekly King of Soup election would come to an end at two o 'clock in the afternoon.
From the very beginning, the Ginseng Black Chicken Soup had always been in the lead in the number of votes. However, no one knew why, two days before the end of the activity, another soup product squeezed in as a dark horse.
Only then did the customers discover that a customer with the online username "Boss Yuan 666" had been frantically canvassing for votes in the last two days.
The reason for canvassing for votes was very simple. As Ma Zhida had said before, "Touch your wallet and think about whether you can afford the Ginseng Black Chicken Soup of The Kitchen God with a 50% discount."
The appearance of the Black Chicken Soup with Red Dates proved that the customers who couldn't afford it were the majority.
Finally, at two o 'clock sharp, Cheng Ying immediately closed the voting channel. With 670,000 votes, the Black Chicken Soup with Red Dates beat the Ginseng Black Chicken Soup with 650,000 votes.
