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

"You little rascal, that's quite a clever idea..."

"Huh? Xiao Yi, you mean that all the museums will have the opportunity to exhibit?"

That's roughly the idea.

The applause was enthusiastic and lasted for a long time.

What a pleasant surprise! I thought there was no chance at all, but I didn't expect that the Suzhou Museum could spare some time! Even a month is still a month!

"Xiao Yi, are you sure you want to donate directly?"

"Yes, a direct donation, no benefits required. Let's complete the formalities here today to avoid any complications."

"Alright! Then I won't stand on ceremony, Old Teng. I'll make a call to apply for a bank armored truck myself."

[Ding! Detected that the host has legally donated 5 pieces of Ming Dynasty artwork. The auxiliary space of the dining hall will be expanded by 25 cubic meters.]

"The Ode to the Golden Powder of the Six Dynasties was written in the Song family mansion, mounted in the Song family mansion, appeared in the Song family mansion, and was donated to the country by the Song family mansion. Our Song family mansion is of extraordinary significance."

"Young friend Song, rest assured, from now on, no one will have any designs on your Song residence."

"Hehe..." Having his intention exposed, Song Xiaoyi wasn't embarrassed at all. That was exactly the effect I wanted.

Everything returns to dust, and the night at Taoye Ferry in Jinling, after a brief period of hustle and bustle, quickly returned to tranquility.

Although "Ode to the Golden Powder of the Six Dynasties" was escorted to the capital overnight, it caused a great stir in the academic and collecting circles of Nanjing.

Before deciding to donate, Song Xiaoyi did not discuss it with Zhu'er, and in fact, there was no time to discuss it.

Putting aside the fact that it has the backing of the Ming Dynasty, with this kitchen, what kind of money can't it make?

The Ming blue and white porcelain and celadon pieces in my house alone are enough to last several lifetimes.

The priority now is to keep the kitchen a secret.

[Restaurant Auxiliary Space: 33 cubic meters]

[Skills: Basic Ingredient Cooking, Basic Ingredient Identification, Basic Combat, Intermediate Medicine]

[Reminder: Ancient people have limited access to the kitchen to 5 people: Zhang Miaolan and Song Yunqiu have already been assigned, 3 people remain]

Two more items were upgraded. Basic combat skills are useless in modern times. Fighting? If you lose, you go to the hospital; if you win, you go to jail. What's the point? They can only be used for self-defense in the Ming Dynasty.

"Old Song, what is this 'Basic Ingredient Cooking Technique'? And what about this 'Distinguishing Technique'?"

[Basic Ingredient Cooking Skill: A self-taught skill. The host can cook classic dishes with the main ingredients even if they didn't know how before. It is a very practical skill.]

[Basic Ingredient Identification Skills: As the name suggests, this skill allows you to identify common ingredients as soon as you receive them]

It looks very impressive.

The modern planning and layout have been initially completed. Twelve days have passed since the target date, and it's still a third-rate eatery. The next goal is to upgrade. Only one innovative dish remains at the beginner level. Today, we'll focus on a breakthrough and upgrade the whole thing to the intermediate level.

"Wait a minute, Lao Song, why is this space 33 cubic meters?"

[The host donated a total of 5 pieces, including "Ode to the Splendor of the Six Dynasties" and works of appreciation by Zhu Yunming, Wen Bi, and others, expanding the auxiliary space of the dining hall by 25 cubic meters.]

"What? This is great news! The expansion effect of the donated space is five times that of the sale! It really wasn't a waste of time."

On the morning of July 8, Song's Restaurant opened for business as usual.

In the morning, they launched improved versions of braised egg, braised tomato noodles, meatball noodles, fish ball noodles, and three-shrimp noodles all at once.

In the afternoon, Song Xiaoyi launched five new dishes at once: "Songfu Sugar Pork Ribs", "Songfu Salt-Fried Beef", "Songfu Roasted Eggplant", as well as improved versions of roasted lamb ribs and skewered lamb. Together with the "Brave the World" dish, which has become a summer hit, the restaurant was packed.

"Little Yi, what's gotten into you? Why are you adding so many new dishes to the menu all at once?"

"It was just a coincidence."

Tang Bohu's eyes were filled with doubt.

Song Xiaoyi turned around and continued preparing the dishes.

After serving this batch of dishes, Song Xiaoyi returned to the kitchen. His sister, Song Yunqiu, who had been granted permission to enter and was practicing slicing roast duck, asked, "Brother Yi, what Bohu asked is also what I've been wondering about. Are you planning to expand the restaurant?"

"I do have that idea, but I haven't figured out how to expand it yet."

"No need to think about it. The shop next door is closed. The aunt next door came over the day before yesterday to ask if I wanted to take over their shop." Song Yunqiu only remembered when she heard that Xiao Yi wanted to expand the shop. She was going to ask him, but something distracted her and she forgot.

"Let them take it over. Selling embroidered shoes at the docks, I don't know what they're thinking."

"But should we also buy the embroidered shoes from next door?"

"You can have either. Those embroidered shoes are also popular in the immortal realm."

Song Xiaoyi thought it was a good idea. She had taken a look at it casually last time and the materials were quite good, with fine stitching, no worse than those from the big market. If they really couldn't sell it, it would be nice to take it back and donate it to the intangible cultural heritage museum.

Song's Restaurant is about to be upgraded, and expanding the store is a good idea. However, with two stores and the current number of people, it's not enough. We need to go to Mu Bin and ask him to recommend a few more people.

The newly expanded store is connected to the existing store, and a kitchen is added to the new store. Frozen buns are moved there by our own staff every day. Newly recruited staff are responsible for steaming buns, selling buns, greeting customers, serving dishes, cleaning the restaurant, and washing dishes. This achieves separation of the two sides, and the key is that the new store can operate independently.

At four o'clock in the afternoon (the hour of You), the shop closed, and Song Xiaoyi took Song Yunqiu and Zhang Miaolan upstairs, ostensibly to familiarize themselves with the use of modern refrigerators, freezers, and freezers in the immortal realm.

"Sister Qiu, Lan'er, just think of this place as the celestial realm. After we finish talking with the shop next door, I'll take you for a tour of the celestial realm outside."

Although she had mentally prepared herself for this younger brother to be extraordinary, Song Yunqiu never expected that going up to the second floor through the kitchen would lead to two completely different worlds.

Song Yunqiu pondered to herself, "So that's why I couldn't enter the kitchen before. Today, Brother Yi's introduction of over a dozen new dishes must also be the result of negotiations with the Immortal Officials..."
