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

Song Yunqiu went downstairs back to the Song Mansion of the Ming Dynasty, while Song Xiaoyi picked up his phone on the second floor and logged into the JD.com platform.

Finding a bicycle manufacturer in Jiangning Development Zone, Song Xiaoyi ordered 1,000 standard-edition 28-inch bicycles at 200 yuan each, with black frames. The order notes stated, "The frames should all be printed with the words 'Song's Fast Food' in white. Please contact me by phone after the order is completed for self-pickup."

As for what impact the bicycle could have on the Ming Dynasty, that was beyond Song Xiaoyi's consideration. As long as the Ming Dynasty didn't collapse and the Two Realms Gate was opened, it meant there weren't any major problems, so he could proceed without hesitation.

The only problem is that my own storeroom has been ransacked, so I can't take out any more cultural relics or paintings from now on. Oh well, I'll just keep them for my own enjoyment. I'm not short of money anymore anyway.

Learning from last night's experience, Song Xiaoyi decided to sleep in the modern world tonight.

After ordering the bicycle, Xiao Yi took his phone and went up to the attic on the second floor. In the attic room where he originally lived, Xiao Yi made calls one by one.

Fatty went to the mountains of Guizhou and was having so much fun with Panzi that he didn't want to leave. He hasn't called once in so many days.

"Hey, Fatty, all lovey-dovey? Got a wife in Guizhou?" Song Xiaoyi crossed his legs, a teasing smile playing on his lips.

A chuckled retort came from the other end of the phone: "Brother Yi, what do you mean by that? I can tell, you're all jealous of being single, aren't you?"

"So you and Pan Shuixiu are a couple now? How's it going over there?"

"You know what, Brother Yi, if it weren't for anything else, I really wouldn't want to go back. It's so comfortable here. In the middle of summer, it must be 38 degrees Celsius in Jinling, right? Do you know how it is here? I'm so envious of you, it's only in the twenties every day..."

"Alright, stop showing off and get back to reporting on your work progress."

"Alright! Reporting to General Manager Song, everything is progressing smoothly at the Guizhou planting and breeding base."

"You're not short of money?"

"I'm not short of money right now. Oh, by the way, all those Ming Dynasty copper coins you gave me last time have been sold. They sold for a total of over 120,000."

"Okay, I'll give you an account in a bit. All the profits from selling copper coins will be deposited into this account from now on."

120,000 is not a lot, but one thing at a time, we can't let things get out of hand.

"Okay, do you still have any copper coins? My mother told me you found a lot of good stuff in the storeroom of your old house?"

"Holy crap, how did this news get out? Auntie's really gossipy. Yeah, we found some calligraphy and paintings, sold them for some money. There are also a dozen or so boxes of copper coins, I haven't touched them, I'm leaving them there for you to sort through when you get back."

"A dozen or so boxes of copper coins! That's like striking it rich!"

"I can still make money even without copper coins."

"Godfather! Little Fatty Cao has spent half his life wandering..."

"Get out of the way! Quickly help Panzi sort things out over there, and come back as soon as possible."

"Yes, sir! Godfather!"

The second call came from He Dayu. "Judging by the time, the first truckload of agricultural products should be arriving soon, right?"

In this sweltering heat, where would be a suitable place to remove my makeup?

In reality, Song Xiaoyi knew that it wouldn't be appropriate to remove it anywhere.

Five or six tons of fresh vegetables and meat disappeared inexplicably, which is inexplicable. I can only say that I did not consider things properly. But now that it has become a fait accompli, I must try my best to make amends.

"Hey, Dayuer, have you passed Luzhou? Perfect timing. Deliver it to Yuhua Food Factory, and I'll give you the location so Uncle Cao can arrange the unloading."

......

"Hey, Uncle Cao, yes, Da Yu'er's refrigerated truck will arrive around seven o'clock. Find a group of loaders to unload the goods. The factory workers can work hard to sort them. Keep the ones that the factory can use, and load the rest into our truck. You can drive it to our Taoye Ferry parking lot. Yes, no need to trouble you, I'll deliver it to them myself."

For the first trip, we can only deal with it this way for now.

At 11 p.m., the food factory kept the ingredients that could be used for steamed buns and other pre-made dishes. Most of the remaining ingredients were transferred to another vehicle. Uncle Cao drove back to the city and parked the car at the Taoye Ferry East Parking Lot. Song Xiaoyi went out, drove out of the city, circled around, and then returned with an empty car.

With so many vegetables—cucumbers, tomatoes, winter melons, cabbage, greens, pork, mutton, and even beef—it would be enough for the "Song Family Fast Food" of the Ming Dynasty and their own restaurant to last for a while.

-------------

It's another hopeful morning.

The steamed buns at "Song's Eatery" have become increasingly larger, but they are still priced at one coin for two and five coins for a basket. Their reputation has spread far and wide, with people queuing up at other branches of Yingtian Prefecture. Fortunately, the eatery now has six people working, so they can manage.

At the "Song Family Heritage Restaurant," Song Xiaoyi was busily making jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes), while Song Yunqiu assisted her and collected money. There was a long queue outside.

"It seems that this jianbing guozi is quite popular."

"That's only fair. Celestial delicacies are sold to us mortals, and each serving only costs three coins..."

"How do you know this is a delicacy from the celestial realm?"

It turns out that when I took Song Yunqiu and Lan'er for a stroll around Taoye Ferry and Confucius Temple last time, they noticed the pancake stalls on the street.

Celestial delicacies are far more than this.

However, making money takes time.

I've already filled over a dozen boxes with the copper coins I've earned. I'll have them sort them out sometime, separating the ones in poor condition from the ones in good condition.

The market for collecting copper coins is enormous. Dozens of boxes of rare Ming Dynasty copper coins wouldn't cause the market to collapse. While instructing "Song's Fast Food" on how to make new dishes, Song Xiaoyi replaced an equal amount of Ming Dynasty dishes with modern dishes from his system space. He also exchanged whole ingots of silver for several boxes of copper coins with Mu Bin, who then arranged for his trusted confidants to deliver them to the Song residence.

Mu Bin also noted down the security issues of the Song family mansion in the Ming Dynasty, as that was what the Embroidered Uniform Guard did.

That evening, the official website of the National Museum of China posted a new announcement: A private collector donated a scroll of Tang Bohu's "Ode to the Golden Powder of the Six Dynasties" to the National Cultural Bureau of China. After being authenticated by multiple mainstream authentication methods, it has been confirmed as an authentic work!

Five minutes later, the first news item on Tencent News quickly went viral: The scroll of Tang Bohu's masterpiece, "Ode to the Golden Powder of the Six Dynasties," which is suspected to be lost, has suddenly reappeared!

Immediately afterwards, various news outlets rushed to report on it, and the entire internet was abuzz with excitement surrounding "Ode to the Golden Powder of the Six Dynasties".

"Ode to the Splendor of the Six Dynasties"!

A masterpiece that has always been known by name but never seen has reappeared in the world!

The official website of the National Museum of China was overwhelmed by traffic, and even photos couldn't be opened late at night.

Tencent News has once again boosted its traffic, featuring a full photo of "Ode to the Splendor of the Six Dynasties"!

They've all gone mad.

The key is the inscription: "Written in the seventh month of the year Wuwu at the Song residence in Taoye Ferry!"

This officially overturns the previous historical record that it was "made in the Ma residence".

A small country next to a great Eastern power.

"What's going on? Is it the news from the great Eastern country that says the original copy of Tang Bohu's 'Ode to the Golden Powder of the Six Dynasties' has appeared in the world? Or is it their official website?"

"Yes! Mrs. Morning Market."

"Then what about the 'Ode to the Golden Powder of the Six Dynasties' in our collection? A fake?"

"Madam, I have already compared them, and the two scrolls are quite different. The main difference is that the scroll that appeared in the world this time by the great Eastern country was signed as written at the Song family residence in Taoye Ferry, Jinling, while our scroll was signed as written at the Ma family residence in Nanjing. Theoretically, the two scrolls do not conflict."

"Oh? Open it and let me see."

"Hi!"
