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

Chapter 120 Subduing the Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

The ancients were really not stupid at all; they quickly figured out the key advantages of "prefabrication" and "assembly line operation".

As Song Xiaoyi watched everyone busily working in an orderly fashion, her thoughts drifted away. She didn't even notice the snowflakes drifting in from outside the door and landing on her cheek.

After the restaurant business calmed down from the first wave of busy activity, Song Xiaoyi gathered the few people in the restaurant who could go into the kitchen (Wu Yunqiu, Miaolan, Song Hao, Song Chen, and Song Xuan) together for a meeting.

"From now on, this shop will be managed by Miss Miaolan. Sister Qiu has an important matter to attend to."

"The shop is currently short one person. Brother Hao, look among your clansmen, who is as honest and talented as you, or who you are close to and willing to work in the shop? Recommend them to me, and I will grant them access to the Immortal Kitchen."

"There's only one bedroom on the third floor right now. Today I'll arrange to clean up the warehouse next door and convert it into a bedroom, so the four of you brothers can take turns resting on the third floor."

After arranging the division of labor in the store, Song Xiaoyi went to the third floor and packed all the miscellaneous items in the warehouse into the system space. He then took Wu Yunqiu to the market to buy beds and arrange bunk beds for the four brothers.

The third floor served as a resting place for the Song brothers.

The steamed buns and instant noodles sold out so quickly that Song Xiaoyi called Uncle Cao and asked the food factory to load a truck and transport it to Taoyedu parking lot. As usual, "I will personally deliver it to the customer's unit."

However, while this is good, my system tasks are troublesome. I only sell steamed buns, instant noodles, duck blood vermicelli soup, and fast food every day. When will I be able to complete the upgrade?

Call Lao Song to check the system.

[Reminder: An additional two-way passage has been set up (Song Dynasty residence by the moat of Donghua Gate in the Ming Dynasty capital, and a courtyard house at No. 73 Beichizi Street in modern times)]

[Reminder: 3 chances to revive: 0 used]

Sure enough, the data for all three dishes stagnated for a week, while the data on food interactions between the modern world and the Ming Dynasty surged.

After making arrangements in the modern setting, he took Wu Yunqiu back to the Song Mansion in the Ming Dynasty and entrusted her with framing the paintings by court painters from the capital that had not yet been framed.

In the following time, Song Xiaoyi placed all the framed paintings, including "The Talent of the Fireworks Cave," calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, incense burners, and the "Yongle Encyclopedia" from the Ming Dynasty Imperial Palace Treasury into his bedroom and warehouse. Then he returned to the modern Song Mansion, appraised them, and stored them in his system space.

The time traces have been added.

[Ding! Art appraisal has been upgraded to the top level, rewarding the host with god-level medical skills]

[Ding! Divine Medical Skill comes with the skill Divine Medicine Making]

[Ding! Divine medical skill comes with a reward of "3 Life-Extending Pills"]

[Ding! Due to the host's skill reaching the top level for the first time, the host is rewarded with the skill "Echoes of the Ming Dynasty"]

"Oh ho? 'Echoes of the Ming Dynasty'? What kind of skill is that?"

[Echoes of the Ming Dynasty: The host can use this skill three times daily to learn the inner thoughts of figures from the Ming Dynasty and gain their intellectual resonance; other uses are for the host to explore on their own.]

"Explore on your own? Are you serious?"

"What kind of skill is this? I don't understand it. It's not as good as this life-extending pill, which can extend life by twenty years. Giving Zhu Youcheng one would be perfect."

"On the other hand, with my god-level medical skills, what use would I have for this life-extending pill?"

"Hmm~, we can sell them for money to exchange for silver."

The Ming Dynasty, the capital city, the Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, I have investigated thoroughly. The only son of the Marquis of Nanhe, named Fang Jifan, contracted a strange illness several months ago. He was in a daze all day long. After waking up, his personality changed drastically. He sold off the old house and the outer house, and then sold all of the Marquis of Nanhe's collection to a pawnshop. He used all the money to buy ebony, which he piled up in the backyard of the Marquis's mansion."

"Looks like this spendthrift son's illness came at just the right time?"

In fact, Zhu Youcheng had already determined that this spendthrift son was a time traveler, and now he was just confirming the chain of evidence.

"Is there anything else?"

"Fang Jifan participated in the review a month ago. I have already obtained his answer sheet and would like Your Majesty to review it."

Mu Bin lowered his head slightly, took out a roll of paper from his sleeve, and presented it with both hands.

Zhu Youcheng took Fang Jifan's answer sheet and said, "Such ugly handwriting! Using barbarians to control barbarians? Changing the native chieftain system to central administration? Heh."

""

This is now confirmed; they've even brought out a modern version of "replacing native chieftains with centrally appointed officials." They're truly courting death.

"Commander Mou, bring that spendthrift son of the Fang family here and take him to the Yellow-Blue Exit Point."

"Your subject obeys the decree!"

Fang Jifan, who had transmigrated into this world, originally intended to live a life of extravagance and earn some pocket money along the way.

Just as he was at home counting the ebony and calculating how much money he could make, the Imperial Guards suddenly descended from the sky!

The Imperial Guard suddenly burst through the door, initially intending to act arrogantly, but upon hearing that the visitor was actually Mu Bin, he decided to give up and not struggle. "Commander Mu, what are your instructions?"

"I dare not presume to offer guidance. I am here on His Majesty's orders to bring you to the palace to meet the Emperor." After all, his father is the powerful Earl of Nanhe, who is leading troops in the southwest. We should at least be polite.

"Entering the palace? To meet the emperor? Why?"

You'll understand when you get there.

The treatment was quite good; the Embroidered Uniform Guard provided a carriage. As Fang Jifan sat inside, he wondered, "Could it be that the examination papers I've been reviewing have piqued the interest of the Hongzhi Emperor? Could they have reached his ears directly?"

When they arrived at the palace, Fang Jifan realized something was wrong. This carriage felt different from his own!

Why isn't this carriage bouncing?

"Young Master Fang, we've arrived. Please get out of the car and walk straight ahead; someone will meet you there. According to the rules, we cannot go any further from here."

After getting off the carriage, Fang Jifan glanced at the wheels and his mind went blank! How could there be rubber on the wheels of a carriage from the Ming Dynasty?!

"Since we're already here, let's take it one step at a time." Fang Jifan turned to look at the deep road ahead, where eight traditional Chinese characters, "Blue line for horseback riding, yellow line for carriages," were clearly visible on the ground.

-

But why can't I see the blue line or the yellow line?

There's only one green line in front of us?

"Little Blue and Little Yellow together become Little Green?" Fang Jifan knelt down immediately. "Your Majesty, spare my life! I'm willing to confess!"

"Hehe, you're smart enough to walk straight ahead and enter the main hall."
