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

"How much investment is needed for the distribution center? What size should it be? Will the transportation company be set up independently or will it cooperate with an existing logistics company?"

"I will invest in the distribution center myself. If the policy allows, the Corps Logistics Department can also invest. My childhood friend and I have already established a transportation company by relying on his existing logistics fleet, and vehicle procurement is already underway."

"My idea is that the main costs for transportation companies are personnel wages, toll fees, and fuel consumption. If the Corps can help solve the toll fee problem, I will solve the rest myself."

"As for the end market, it's simple. I'll open a fast food chain in various cities and towns in the east, and the framework for transporting western food to the east will be formed."

"For details, we will conduct separate bidding, layered discussions, and proceed step by step."

"Your plan is too ambitious and too big. I think we shouldn't start with such a large scale. We just need to deliver one truckload a day to solve the problem of our own production capacity."

"One truckload a day. Do you know how much it costs for a refrigerated truck to come from there? Gasoline costs, tolls, wages for the two drivers on one truck, wear and tear, and all that, plus the occasional fines..."

"We'll cover your fuel and toll costs, and the car will have our license plates. Let's see who dares to issue a fine."

"That's fine then, let's do it this way!"

"It's such a small matter, a phone call would have solved it, why bother making a special trip?"

"We're here for a meeting, and this is just a side trip."

"Let's do it!"

[Restaurant Auxiliary Space: 33 cubic meters]

[Skills: Basic Ingredient Cooking, Basic Ingredient Identification, Basic Pastry Cooking, Basic Martial Arts, Intermediate Medical Skills]

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

[Ding! Congratulations, host! The Song Family Inheritance System has been upgraded to intermediate or higher levels. The Song Family Restaurant has been upgraded to the Song Family Family Heritage Restaurant. You are rewarded with additional access to certain channels. Please use them with caution.]

[Reminder: Additional two-way channel: Not set]

"Holy crap! Old Song, what does 'extra two-way channel' mean!? Does it mean exactly what it says? Can we open another channel?"

[Correct. The host can set up additional interdimensional passages. The locations of these passages will completely overlap. Please choose carefully.]

This is like opening a "two-way door," it's so valuable, we need to think about it carefully!

As a result, Song Xiaoyi was so excited that he couldn't sleep again.

[Basic Pastry Cooking: Similar to ingredient cooking, it enables the host to make all kinds of pastries, which is very practical. Although the shop currently only sells steamed buns and instant noodles for breakfast, it will be useful for preparing customized family banquets in the future.]

[Intermediate level medical skills: While combining traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine may not be able to revive the dead, saving lives in critical situations and regulating the body are certainly within reach.]

This skill was most useful in ancient times.

Wuwei Museum.

After returning, the curator, Guan Dingxi, locked himself in the porcelain exhibition hall, holding a Ming Dynasty porcelain bowl and looking at it repeatedly, recalling it over and over again, and comparing it with the photos.

Although this porcelain bowl is marked "Made in the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty", the Hongzhi period and the Chenghua period are very similar. When comparing the actual object with the photo, the two look very alike.

Luckily, I secretly took two photos. I was planning to take a rice bowl to the Jinling Museum for testing when I left, but Song Xiaoyi came up with a "grand finale" and collected the tableware ahead of time!

Guan Dingxi picked up the phone and dialed a number in Shanxi. "Hello, Mr. Shui, good afternoon."

"Dingxi, what's the matter?"

"Old Shui, it was at the Song residence last night when we were having dinner. I still have this strange feeling about the 'Made in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty' thing. Now I have a small blue and white porcelain bowl made in the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty in my hand, and I'm comparing it with the photo I took last night. I feel that they are very similar, or rather, they have the same pattern."

"Oh. This one, I thought it looked similar at the time, but I couldn't be sure it was exactly the same. We couldn't very well ask someone to take the bowl to a museum to have it checked by a machine. Besides, there are so many, dozens of sets, how could that be possible?"

"What if? I trust my gut feeling."

"Trust your intuition. You could try talking to Dean Jinling Teng, or even Old Wu? They're both quite familiar with Song Xiaoyi. Asking him for a set of tableware for testing shouldn't be a problem."

"You're right!"

It was another bright and sunny morning.

Standing on the street of Taoye Ferry in the Ming Dynasty, looking up at his own shop sign "Song Family Heritage Restaurant" and then at the "Song Family Eatery" sign next door, Song Xiaoyi felt that it was all so unreal.

It was obvious that he hadn't hung it himself; when he asked Miaolan and Song Yunqiu, neither of them could lift it at all.

This can only be done automatically after the system upgrades at night.

There were too many things that defied common sense. Both ladies believed it was the work of the celestial realm, and they didn't have the energy to dwell on it. They decided to greet the guests first.

Now that the store has expanded, the two sides are simply separated. The "Song's Eatery" next door mainly serves breakfast delivery and simple noodle dishes such as instant noodles. Miaolan is in charge of the eatery, and Yunqiu is in charge of training new workers.

The "Song Family Heritage Restaurant" here specializes in Song family recipes. It is not open in the morning. Customers who want to dine in are directed to the next room, while the main hall is used to store ingredients and fast food. Every day, "blue vests" are responsible for delivering them.

Once this becomes a habit, when the corps' vegetables are delivered every day later on, you won't have to spend time transporting them to the back gate of the Song residence.
