In the Ming Dynasty 1498, my restaurant connects two worlds.

Song Xiaoyi returned to the front hall and sat down to think. This was incredible. What other trajectories had he changed?

Little Shifu! I may have even changed the trajectory of Little Shifu's fate!

According to online information I found earlier, Qiu Ying dropped out of school at a very young age and worked as a painter for many years. Due to paint poisoning, his health was always poor.

Yes, it was also because of this experience that he became involved with painting...

Check it again!

I forgot my phone!

Song Xiaoyi returned to the small restaurant to retrieve his phone and immediately searched for Qiu Ying's biography.

"It's over!"

Song Xiaoyi kept scrolling through his phone, searching for terms and trying several different search engines, but the results were basically the same:

"When Qiu Ying's family suddenly suffered a misfortune, he and his mother, Song, fled by boat to Taoye Ferry in Yingtian Prefecture. There, he was recognized by a distant uncle and settled in the Song family mansion. There, he met Zhu Yunming, Tang Bohu, and others who were staying at Taoye Ferry. He was taken in as a disciple by Zhu Yunming..."

Song Xiaoyi was certain that he had just checked Qiu Ying's life trajectory a few days ago, and his memory could not be wrong.

Check Tang Bohu and Xu Jing's information again!

"Tang Bohu...the top scholar in the Nanjing provincial examination in the eleventh year of the Hongzhi reign...the cheating scandal in the imperial examinations in the twelfth year of the Hongzhi reign..."

Tang Bohu's remains largely unchanged!

Xu Jing's hasn't changed either!

That means my plan to prevent their fate from meeting has not had any effect for the time being!

It seems we must remind Zhu Zhishan and his men to keep a close eye on things!

Calling Old Song: "Old Song, what's going on? How can changes in the historical records and ownership of buildings from the Ming Dynasty affect modern times?"

History has a strong tendency to correct itself, so the host need not worry too much. Occasionally, there will be situations where correction is impossible, which are normal phenomena and will not affect the course of history. However, the historical anchor point cannot be changed.

"Occasionally? Does that mean the Song family would always own this house, preventing Wu Jingzi from buying it? What about during the Republic of China era? During the Anti-Japanese War, this house remained in the hands of the Song family? Wouldn't the Song family produce traitors?"

Song Xiaoyi was at a loss. What should he do?

Once historical details are altered, it will trigger a chain reaction. Is it even possible to change them?

The ringing of his cell phone interrupted Song Xiaoyi's thoughts. It was Zhu'er. He answered, "Brother Xiaoyi, Teacher Chen has contacted the museum's canteen kitchen. You can come and see the site anytime."

"good!"

Song Xiaoyi wasn't in the mood to talk to Zhu'er much, and Zhu'er was also busy and didn't have time to talk to Song Xiaoyi.

After hanging up the phone, Song Xiaoyi researched the experiences and encounters of Zhu Zhishan, Wen Zhengming, Gu Lan, Tang Bohu, and other related individuals, especially key events such as the death of Wen Lin and the details of the examination cheating case, and saved screenshots.

Then, they searched for information on officialdom and society during the Hongzhi reign and the next reign, the Zhengde reign, such as the Ning Prince's rebellion and the Eight Tigers of Zhengde.

The investigation lasted for more than two hours. Song Xiaoyi also kept a close eye on things and found a small notebook to record important events and times.

After checking, I drove off, dropping off the extra boxes of boxed lunches at Uncle Cao's house so he could take them to the Yuhua Noodle Factory and let the workers have a taste.

The banquet hosted by the Jinling Museum on the 7th was in the evening, with exactly thirty people, filling three tables. Alcohol could be served, but not baijiu (Chinese white liquor).

After inspecting the venue, Song Xiaoyi was very dissatisfied. He frowned and replied directly to Teacher Chen Tanqiu, who had come with him, "Teacher Chen, this place is not suitable for me to cook the Song family's traditional dishes. I need to prepare many of the dishes in advance, and it's too much trouble to transport them here. How about we discuss with the Dean and have everyone come to my house for dinner after the meeting? There are only three tables of people."

"Go to your house? Your house is big enough, but it's a bit against the rules."

"Rules are made by people. Besides, this is the first meal, and everyone here is a big shot in the national museum industry. Xiao Yi didn't plan to charge anyone. He just wanted to take a quick sip."

Chen Tanqiu dared not make the decision himself, so he contacted the dean by phone.

"It's done! I don't know anything about the dishes either, but the dean said to leave it to you, so don't mess it up."

"Please rest assured, teacher."

For Song Xiaoyi, who had previously been a chef in the military, preparing three banquets was a piece of cake.

There's no way to predict how history and modernity will change, but life goes on, and the daily meal for the second day of the Ming Dynasty still needs to be prepared.

According to the plan, the meat dishes for the second day of "Song's Fast Food" were braised pork and roast duck. After leaving the Jinling Museum, Song Xiaoyi drove directly to the wholesale market to buy pork, duck and other ingredients, and had the merchants deliver them to the small supermarket.

After arriving home, Song Xiaoyi began to list the menu for the family dinner on July 7th:

Cold Dishes: Song-style Braised Pork, Southern-style Frozen Chicken, Traditional Dried Mussels, and Meigong Pine Beans

Appetizers: Song-style steamed egg custard with filling, and Zhou Dingwang's mixed gardenia seedlings.

Hot dishes: Songfu Roasted Pork, Songfu Sweet Pork Belly, Songfu Spicy Braised Crucian Carp, Songfu Roasted Duck, Songfu Fried Shrimp, Songfu Salt-fried Beef

Stir-fried dishes: Songfu's One Treasure, Songfu's Fried Chicken, Songfu's Garlic-Braised Eel, Songfu's Braised Eggplant

Steamed Dish: Steamed Yellow Clams (using traditional methods)

Special dishes: Song Family Style Braised Pufferfish, Song Family Style Shrimp Tofu

Soups: White Jade Lamb Soup, Mushroom Lantern Soup

Desserts: Five-spice cake square, steamed rice cake square, honey shortbread, water-milled balls

Beverage: Calamus wine

Finale: "Ode to the Splendor of the Six Dynasties"

I saw the seedlings of the gardenia last time I visited the collapsed house; the yellow-armored crab is the swimming crab. Although the swimming crabs of the Ming Dynasty are relatively expensive, they are all genuine wild ones, big and fat. It is not easy to transport them to Nanjing, but you should be able to buy them. If you can't buy them, try something else.

The Song family has a unique skill in cooking pufferfish, which is also one of Song Xiaoyi's specialties.

As for desserts, Song Xiaoyi planned to take a shortcut and buy ready-made ones in Daming. He had seen several such pastry shops on his way to the South City Base.

I've seen calamus wine in official liquor markets, and it's the most expensive one there. Whether it tastes good or not is another matter, but at least it's an authentic Ming Dynasty liquor.

Song Xiaoyi originally had two ideas for the location of the banquet. Since it was dinner, Song Xiaoyi initially thought that he could close all the doors on the first floor so that all the guests could walk through the kitchen downstairs and eat directly in the ancient setting. However, he then thought of two problems: what if someone wanted to open the door and go out to take a look? That would give them away.

Most importantly, electronic devices are not allowed. It seems inappropriate to ask distinguished guests to hand in their mobile phones before going downstairs, and even electronic sports watches are also prohibited.

After weighing the pros and cons, Song Xiaoyi finally decided to hold a banquet at the Song residence.

The advantage of hosting a banquet at the Song residence is that it's high-end, classy, ​​and sophisticated. You can store the semi-finished products in your spatial storage beforehand and retrieve them on the day of the banquet.

Song Xiaoyi worked between the modern Song Mansion and the small restaurant until night, then returned to the Ming Dynasty via the kitchen and rowed back to the Song Mansion in the Ming Dynasty.

Upon entering the room, Song Xiaoyi first saw six large tables arranged side by side in the hall, with a scroll of calligraphy and painting over twenty meters long laid out on one of them.

The scroll begins with five large characters in running script: "Ode to the Golden Powder of the Six Dynasties." This is followed by over thirty sheets of Xuan paper written by Tang Bohu, almost seamlessly connected, occupying eighty percent of the scroll. "Ode to the Golden Powder of the Six Dynasties" ends with Tang Bohu's signature and a full set of seals. Following that are appreciation essays and poems by Zhu Yunming, Wen Bi, and Gu Qian, along with their respective signatures and seals!
