"Miaomiao, you're here." Yin ya's eyes brightened and then she greeted him naturally.
"Yes, sister ya. We have moved to a new house in advance, so we came to take a look." Tian Miao scratched her head in embarrassment.
"That's good. Do you like your new home?" Yin ya asked.
"I like it very much. It's very big, and although there aren't many people, it's very quiet." Tian Miao nodded vigorously, her eyes curved in delight.
"That's good. " Yin ya nodded her head and didn't say anything.
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 reveal that she knew about Tian Miao's family background.
"Yes, yes. Thank you, sister ya." Tian Miao thanked him.
"You're welcome. Since you're here, I still have some paper boxes from a few days ago. Do you want more today?" Yin ya asked with a smile.
"I've become lazier without Miao Miao. I didn't bring anything to throw away when I came, so I'll have to trouble you, Miao Miao. " Yin ya flipped her hair helplessly and said.
"I should be the one thanking sister ya." Tian Miao's eyes sparkled as she spoke.
"You're welcome. We're just helping each other. " Yin ya blinked her eyes at Tian Miao and said.
"Yes, yes." Tian Miao nodded vigorously.
While saying that, Yin ya led the way in front while Tian Miao followed behind her carefully. As long as they met someone, she would avoid them carefully.
On such a crowded street like Taoxi road, Tian Miao followed Yin ya out, yet she didn't meet anyone. It could be said that she was really careful.
"Miao Miao has a lot of cardboard boxes today. I'm afraid you can't carry all of them by yourself. Actually, there's a person downstairs who specializes in collecting cardboard boxes. Do you want me to call him over?" Yin ya asked.
"Okay, I'll have to trouble sister ya then." Tian Miao thought about it for a second and quickly nodded.
"It's no trouble at all. I'm only in charge of taking it down. The rest is up to you, Miao Miao." Yin ya said.
"Sure, no problem." Tian Miao nodded seriously.
While saying that, Yin ya took Tian Miao to the downstairs of her workplace and waited there while she went upstairs to get the arranged paper boxes.
Yin ya didn't force Tian Miao to wait in the hall. Instead, she brought her to stand at a Leeward place and then went upstairs.
Before she went upstairs, Yin ya called an Auntie who was in charge of collecting waste and asked her to come over. Then, she brought Xiaochen down to carry the cardboard boxes.
That's right. What Yin ya said was true. There were so many of them that she couldn't carry them all by herself. She had to move them down with Xiaochen.
"It's all here. Miaomiao, I'll leave the rest to you. " Yin ya clapped her hands and said straightforwardly.
"Yes, yes. Thank you, sister ya. Thank you, sister Xiaochen." Tian Miao politely bowed in thanks to each of them.
"You're welcome, you're welcome. Do you need my help?" Xiaochen didn't know why, but seeing such a well-behaved little girl, she couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay, I can do it. " Tian Miao shook her head.
"Okay, then we'll be leaving. This Auntie is in charge of collecting." After saying that, Yin ya pulled Xiaochen and turned around to leave.
"Thank you, sister ya. Thank you, sister Xiaochen." Tian Miao's voice came from behind.
Although Xiaochen felt a little strange being pulled away, she still left with Yin ya obediently.
Yuan Zhou also knew some things about Tian Miao and did some things about her, but he didn't say anything.
Another day passed by.
The next morning, Wu Hai finished his breakfast sneakily and then left quickly.
Why was it sneaky? because it was very low-key and almost didn't chat with the other customers. Also, it ate very fast. Although the Black Beast ate very fast, it had been even faster recently.
Yuan Zhou stroked his chin and looked at Wu Hai who left silently after lunch. He thought,""This black beast is very abnormal. I don't know what it's planning."
Another thing that caught Yuan Zhou's attention was that the boss of the antique store, Zong mo, who he had not seen for a long time, had arrived.
"I haven't seen you in a long time, old Zong. Where have you been?" A customer at the side greeted.
Although Zong mo had only been in Yuan Zhou's restaurant for less than a year, he quickly became familiar with the customers. Moreover, he was also a very loyal person. All the customers of the master chef Restaurant would get a discount when they went to the restaurant to buy things.
"I went to the countryside to pack some things. I wanted to come back for breakfast this morning, but the plane was late, so I could only have lunch." Zong mo replied.
It was said that one would miss the home-cooked dishes cooked by their parents if they hadn't eaten them for a long time. As for foodies, they really missed Yuan Zhou's dishes if they hadn't eaten them for a long time.
Hence, Zong mo ordered two more dishes this time around, wanting to eat until he was full. He did not leave immediately after that, but sat on the long bench at the entrance to rest.
When lunchtime ended, Zong mo found Yuan Zhou and said,""Boss Yuan, there's something I need to trouble you with."
Zong mo took out the ancient book from the small canvas bag he was carrying on his back. Although the canvas bag felt torn and tattered, the ancient book inside was wrapped very well.
"I brought back an ancient book from the countryside this time. It's about chefs, but I can't tell if it's true or not. Boss Yuan, you're very knowledgeable. Let me have a look." Zong mo said.
Yuan Zhou looked at Zong Mo's serious face and felt that his words were too fake. As the owner of an antique store, if he couldn't even read an ancient book, his store would have closed down long ago.
"I spent a few hundred Yuan to buy it back. Although it's not worth much, it's still uncomfortable to lose money." "The most important thing is that I've taken a look, and this seems to be a list of the emperor's meals," Zong mo added.
The emperor's meal list immediately piqued Yuan Zhou's interest. He looked at Zong mo, who was earnestly asking for advice, and said,""Then let me take a look. I'm sure I don't know as much about ancient books as boss Zong. As a chef, the most I can do is to determine if the dishes on the list are real or fake."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, boss Yuan. Take a good look. If it's true, it's best if these dishes can be put on the menu of the restaurant, hehe." Zong mo carefully passed the ancient book to Yuan Zhou. The last sentence revealed his purpose.
Zong mo was waiting at the entrance of the shop to do this. After he was done, he would bid farewell 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 Records". It recorded a banquet menu, but it was not a famous banquet food left behind in history. Instead, it was a banquet held by Song Gaozong when he visited the residence of Zhang Jun, the Prince of Qinghe County, and Zhang Jun invited the Emperor to a banquet.
Yuan Zhou had heard about this banquet. Someone said that it was the most expensive banquet in the legend. According to the current market price, the total value of the delicacies was more than three million Yuan.
Moreover, they were all spent on the delicacies. However, there were only a few records in the "old stories of Wulin". Now, Yuan Zhou finally saw the menu.
This ancient book was not thin, but it was just a list. It did not record the cooking method, and only occasionally mentioned the ingredients.
"It's very realistic. " Yuan Zhou roughly read it and then made a judgment.
Not to mention other things, just listing out the 138 fruits was quite troublesome.
"The song Dynasty was a peak for scholars, but it was also a peak for food culture. Many dishes were developed by the Song Dynasty." Yuan Zhou counted roughly. There were more than 400 dishes, including the dishes with liquor and the after-meal snacks.
Yuan Zhou's current culinary skills were very high, but he still couldn't cook several dishes on the list.
Of course, the reason why he couldn't do it was because he didn't know what it was.
For example, there was an after-meal snack called "red embroidered ball paradise". According to the ancient books, the main ingredient was winter melon. First of all, the name "red embroidered ball paradise" was too tactful. Anyway, Yuan Zhou had more than a dozen ways to turn winter melon into a snack, but all of them seemed to have nothing to do with the name.
While Yuan Zhou was studying the banquet Records, su Ruoyan started working part-time with her phone as she had nothing to do in the afternoon. Yuan Zhou didn't ask her what she was doing.
The people in the shop were calm, but the people on the internet were in a frenzy.
It was twoo' clock in the afternoon, an important day for most foodies.
At twoo' clock in the afternoon, the weekly selection of King Tang would be over.
From the start, the ginseng Black Chicken soup had always been in the lead in votes. But for some reason, two days before the event ended, another soup squeezed its way up as a Dark Horse.
Then, the customers realized that there was an online name: The 666 customers of boss Yuan crazily asked for votes in the last two days.
The reason for canvassing for votes was very simple. MA Zhida had also said it before,"touch your wallet and think about it. Can you afford to drink the ginseng black-bone chicken soup of master chef Restaurant with a 50% discount?"
The red date black-bone chicken soup proved that most of the customers couldn't afford to drink it.
In the end, Cheng Han immediately closed the voting channels at twoo' clock sharp. Red date Black Chicken soup won first place with 670000 votes over the 650000 votes for ginseng Black Chicken soup!
