Zhang Yan had long since rubbed his palms together, planning to draw a ticket to drink. He was not very good at drinking, but of course, Yuan Zhou's wine was very delicious, so he was definitely willing to drink a little more.
He didn't come for the wine, but for Chu Mingxuan, Master Chu. In addition to having a wooden hobby, Zhang Yan also had a hobby that was very in line with the characteristics of the Sichuan people, and that was to see their faces change.
His idol was Chu Mingxuan. Of course, the way he chased after his idol was different from the way young people did, but as long as it was Chu Mingxuan's performance, he would not miss a single one if he could get a ticket. So when he heard that Chu Mingxuan would come to The Kitchen God to perform, he was naturally very happy.
Zhang Yan had also made sufficient preparations beforehand. He had revised Chu Mingxuan's previous plays at home and then stayed at home to cultivate his character for a week. In order to earn enough good karma, he had set the time for tomorrow, where Chu Mingxuan would be performing.
Accumulating luck was more metaphysical. It mainly depended on one's face. The Lucky Emperor only needed a second to accumulate luck, but some unlucky people needed several years to accumulate luck.
Zhang Yan hadn't told anyone about this, but when he saw the waist drum hanging from the man's waist, the first thing he thought of was the performance in the tavern. After all, he had been paying attention to it.
"What you said makes sense. I don't know if it does." Cheng Zhao Mei watched as the man glanced at the sign of The Kitchen God a few times, then looked around and stood under the eaves of the house across the street. She felt that Zhang Yan might be right.
The person who was being observed by Zhang Yan and Zhao Mei was Sun Ji. He had just rushed over from Star City to meet here for an interview at Yuan Zhou's invitation.
To a certain extent, Zhang Yan's guess was right. Sun Ji had indeed come for the performance in the tavern.
As the authentic inheritor of the Fengyang Flower Drum and Flower Drum Play, Sun Ji was also quite famous in the Flower Drum Circle. When he performed, there were almost a full house of friends. Normally, he wouldn't come to the tavern to perform.
He really didn't lack a stage to perform on, and he wasn't a food lover either. It would naturally be good if there was good food, but if there wasn't, he wouldn't force it.
Sun Ji was a bit of a Buddhist. His only passion was the Flower Drum Opera and the Fengyang Flower Drum.
However, it was such a coincidence that Sun Ji and Si Jinning had a very good personal relationship. They were good friends despite their age difference. Ever since Si Jinning came to Chengdu, he didn't leave. He said that he wanted to stay here to accompany his little disciple as she grew up and teach her.
As for eating at least one meal a day at The Kitchen God, the reason was even simpler. The hotel was close, so eating there was naturally the principle of proximity. It sounded very reasonable.
Si Jinning was a warm-hearted person. When he heard his little disciple, Zuo Zuo, say that Yuan Zhou wanted to find some folk art artists to perform in the tavern to enrich everyone's after-dinner life, he immediately thought of himself.
After all, the salary was not small. That Ergou disciple's salary was three meals a month. As her master, he, a famous big shot in the book review circle, should earn twice as much. Then, he thought of his little disciple, Zuo Zuo, who was good at storytelling, while his dog disciple was good at crosstalk. They could only perform together if they didn't repeat each other. He was good at storytelling, but it was also storytelling, which would definitely not be good for the program and might cause pressure to Zuo Zuo.
After thinking about it again and again, he gave up this tempting idea. Anyway, he had money. It was a good idea to buy a house here to support his old age. He could just come to the tavern to eat every day and not compete with his little disciple. Of course, if it was his dog disciple, then it would be a different story.
If Gao Hui knew his current image in his master's eyes, he didn't know if it would be too late to cry.
After giving up the opportunity to recommend himself, Si Jinning instantly remembered that he still had a good friend who sang Huagu. Not only did she sing Huagu Opera, but she could also sing Fengyang Huagu at will. Due to her family background, she had a strong foundation and could come here to perform.
Adhering to the principle of sharing good things, Si Jinning kindly told Sun Ji about this matter. Of course, he also told Yuan Zhou about this matter in advance. It was impossible not to ask for the owner's opinion.
After hearing Si Jinning's words, Yuan Zhou personally called Master Sun Ji and told him about this matter. He only decided to come when he heard that Yuan Zhou wanted to promote the various folk arts.
For Sun Ji, there was nothing more worthy of mobilizing a large number of people than to promote the declining Flower Drum.
Therefore, it could be said that Sun Ji was invited by Yuan Zhou or by Si Jinning.
Si Jinning had to meet an old friend at the last minute, so he couldn't come.
However, he had already asked around and found out that many of the banquets in the restaurant required a valid reason to reserve them. After obtaining the exact date of Sun Ji's arrival, he booked a banquet in the restaurant. This was something he had wanted to eat for a long time. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he successfully booked this banquet in the name of welcoming Sun Ji.
The time was tonight, so Si Jinning went out to visit his friend with peace of mind and waited for the banquet that night. Thinking of the delicious banquet, he didn't resent the high salary that Sun Ji might receive from the restaurant. After all, if Sun Ji didn't come, Si Jinning would have to wait until his or his disciples' birthdays to eat.
Speaking of this, it was unknown whether Si Jinning had recommended Sun Ji to come because he wanted to eat at the banquet. Perhaps only he himself knew.
Sun Ji was a serious person. Since he had agreed to come to the stage, as a master, he had his own ideas. He wanted to come to the shop to check it out first. However, when he walked to the entrance of the shop, he found that there was no one inside. He thought about some information that he had found before, so he hid under the eaves of the opposite house.
His plan was to have a meal first, then ask the boss to look at the venue and interview him. That way, he could have a good gathering with his old friends at night.
Sun Ji always did things by the book. Before he came, he had already looked up a lot of information about Yuan Zhou. He knew that Yuan Zhou had an extraordinary status in the culinary world. Although he hadn't met Yuan Zhou in person, he gave Yuan Zhou a lot of respect based on his intention to promote folk art. He was very willing to do things according to the rules of Yuan Zhou's restaurant.
Time ticked by. When it was 11 o 'clock, the people waiting under the eaves near the restaurant quickly arrived at their positions as if they had practiced the Wave-like Subtle Steps.
Due to his inexperience, Sun Ji was pushed out of the first echelon and moved to the second echelon. However, he was very quiet and didn't fight for anything. He just stood in the middle of the line.
Cheng Zhao Mei and Zhang Yan were naturally very familiar with the situation. When they saw the figure of the black beast, they immediately understood that it was time to line up. Therefore, they were very alert and naturally lined up behind Wu Hai and the others. As expected of people who had seen the market, their actions were very fast.
"It's lunchtime. The first 18 customers, please come in for lunch." Su Ruoyan stood at the side of the entrance of the restaurant and said with a smile.
As she spoke, lunchtime officially began.
The customers filed into the restaurant one after another. The people in the first echelon all walked into the restaurant with smiles and expectations on their faces. When Sun Ji saw this scene, he felt a little curious.
"How delicious must it be for the customers to look forward to it so much?" Sun Ji indicated that as a person who muddled through life, he couldn't imagine what kind of delicacy could make people look forward to it so much.
