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

Chapter 125 The journey to the capital was not smooth.

On the boat back to Taoye Ferry, Xiao Qiuying was still a little reluctant to leave.

I will miss my teacher and this warm house.

Zhou Chen was afraid of the cold and did not want to go to the capital with everyone, but he did not want to return to Suzhou Prefecture. Song Xiaoyi handed over the house to Zhou Chen and entrusted it to the old clan chief for care.

Upon arriving at Song Mansion in Taoye Ferry, it was afternoon, and the winter sun was shining brightly. The group basked in the sun while unpacking their belongings, and had a simple lunch of instant noodles and steamed buns.

Over the next three days, the three Song brothers were responsible for teaching the new members of the Song family how to steam buns and cook instant noodles, while Wu Yunqiu took Song Lian and taught him the key points of shop management.

Song Lian was chosen by the old patriarch of the Song family as the successor of the Song family restaurant in Taoye Ferry.

On the second floor of the modern building, Song Xiaoyi rarely saw Zhu'er standing at the entrance of the small supermarket with a worried look on her face.

"Pearl! Isn't the museum busy anymore?"

"Brother Yi! Why are you back so suddenly! Your cousin said you went to a secret location on a mission! I haven't seen you for days!"

"That's true, it's been quite a few days." Song Xiaoyi was a little embarrassed, unsure how to explain, so he chuckled and asked, "How's work at the museum?"

It would have been better if she hadn't asked. But now that she had, Pearl simply pouted and said, "It's not as good as I imagined. I don't want to stay in the museum anymore."

"Why isn't your little restaurant open? If you were, I could help you with the cashier." Zhu'er said casually, then suddenly remembered something, "Wait a minute, I often see Uncle Cao delivering truckloads of goods to the little restaurant. Why don't you open the restaurant? Are you just storing them up?"

"Can it fit?"

'

..."Song Xiaoyi didn't know what to say. He only took in and didn't give out. He knew that sooner or later, someone would notice something was wrong. Even Zhu'er, who went out early and returned late, found it strange. What about everyone else? From now on, Uncle Cao will have to deliver the goods at night.

Another point is the capital city. This time, after bringing everyone to the Ming Dynasty, we need to put away the temporary passage and allow it to cool down for a month. Once the renovations in the Ming Dynasty are completed, we can open the passage in the Crown Prince's residence in the Imperial Palace. This way, when we deliver goods through the Forbidden City's cargo gate at night, it will be less likely to be noticed, since the food consumption in the modern Forbidden City scenic area is still quite high.

"Since you don't want to stay at the museum, why don't you just resign? I'll take you to a mysterious place; I'm sure you'll like it." Song Xiaoyi made up his mind and simply took Zhu'er to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to be in charge of the cashier in one of the sections of the "Ming Royal Leisure Garden."

"Where? Where?"

"Keep it a secret for now. Go and process your resignation, and wait for me here at 6 a.m. two days later."

"Okay! It's a deal!"

Song Xiaoyi added Zhu Zhishan, Zhang Mengjin, Wen Zhengming, and Qiu Ying to the list of those who passed the kitchen test. With Wu Yunqiu, Miaolan, the three Song brothers, and Zhu'er, there were eleven people in one car. They could be brought to the capital all at once by borrowing an eleven-seat van from the museum.

As for the Song family mansion at Taoye Ferry, it can only be temporarily sealed off after everyone leaves. It will definitely not be sold, as the house has a special purpose and people will come back to it from time to time.

January 5, 2019, 6:1 AM.

Song Xiaoyi led everyone to the Taoye Ferry parking lot on the second floor.

"Uncle, is this the Immortal Realm?"

"Brother Xiao Yi! Who are they? You made me wear ancient costumes, are you taking us to film a movie?"

"Shh—, keep your voice down!" Song Xiaoyi rubbed his hands together. "Hurry up and get in the car. We have to get to the capital, or we'll miss it."

Pearl and the others climbed onto the car, still somewhat bewildered.

Zhang Mengjin touched the chair and exclaimed in amazement, "This couch is as soft as a cloud, and it even has a unique fragrance!"

Wen Zhengming stared at the car window: "This glass is so transparent yet unbreakable?"

Although Song Chen had been up to the second floor before, he had never seen the outside. After getting into the car, he tightly gripped Song Hao's sleeve and whispered, "Brother, will this iron beast... eat people?"

"I don't know either..."

""

Seven-year-old Qiu Ying was quite bold; she leaned out the window and pointed at the traffic on the elevated highway in the distance: "Mom! There are so many beetles running!"

Song Xiaoyi started the engine, and the bread truck roared to life.

A gasp of surprise erupted inside the car!

Zhu'er sat in the driver's seat on the right, listening to the conversation in the back. She frowned and looked at Song Xiaoyi. "Brother Xiaoyi? Who are they? Are they all relatives of your cousin? Why are they talking so strangely?"

Song Xiaoyi didn't have time to explain, so he said evasively, "They're rehearsing their lines. Just listen and learn their way of speaking; you'll find it useful when you're filming later."

"Oh, alright. What's so difficult about that? It's an old saying, I know it too."

As soon as the car drove out of Taoye Ferry, the navigation voice announced: "Turn right ahead and take the G42 Shanghai-Chengdu Expressway."

"Who's speaking?!" Zhang Mengjin drew his short sword from his waist and looked around.

"It's a car navigation system." Wu Yunqiu had followed Song Xiaoyi to Beijing many times and was already familiar with the voice of the navigation system, but she wanted to tease Zhang Mengjin, so she suppressed a laugh and replied, "Its name is Xiao De, and it can give directions."

"Could it be that Che Ling is knowledgeable about geography?" Wen Zhengming's eyes lit up. "Wonderful! This immortal realm is truly full of wonders!"

However, Song Xiaoyi only thought about taking everyone away in one car, and did not expect so many things to happen.

Anyone who frequently takes people from the past to modern times knows that they often cause all sorts of trouble when they come to the modern world.

In the early morning, there weren't many cars in the city, and the journey was relatively smooth. However, once they got on the ring road and Song Xiaoyi accelerated to 100 km/h, the faces of the ancient people in the car who had never ridden in a car before turned pale instantly.

"Speeding like lightning! My soul is about to scatter!" Zhang Mengjin gripped the handrail tightly, sobering up from the shock.

"This speed is comparable to a steed that can travel a thousand miles!" Song Xuan murmured, already half-dazed.

Song Chen suddenly clutched her stomach: "Second brother... my stomach is churning..."

'

It turns out that people in ancient times had delicate stomachs. They drank too much at the farewell banquet last night and couldn't handle the bumpy ride at high speed.

Song Xiaoyi quickly pulled over to the side of the road along the emergency lane.

Zhu Zhuer took out motion sickness patches and taught them how to stick them on their foreheads.

Zhu Zhishan touched the cold patch: "This talisman... could it calm the mind?"

"I suppose so," Zhu Zhu'er said, unable to suppress a laugh as she played along with the ancient dialogue.

Since they couldn't stay in the emergency lane for too long, Song Xiaoyi started the car and got back on the road. Everyone put on motion sickness patches and seemed a little more at ease.

But not long after, Zhang Miaolan timidly called out, "Brother Xiao Yi... I need to use the restroom..."

"7

Service area! The Huanglishu Service Area is just ahead! Song Xiaoyi quickly exited the highway and entered the service area...

"Zhu'er, go with those two women to the restroom and take care of that Miaolan girl."

Wu Yunqiu was familiar with the area and had been to the service area before. With the two of them looking after Miaolan, there shouldn't be any trouble.

However, on the men's side, it was chaos again.

First was Xiao Qiuying. After he finished relieving himself, he became fascinated by the automatic dryer. He put his hand in and then pulled it out, listening to the intermittent buzzing sound and giggling.

The most embarrassed person was Zhang Mengjin. He saw others scanning a QR code with their phones to get paper and muttering incantations. He thought they were blowing air into the code and chanting spells. But when he blew hard into the QR code, there was no reaction. "Could it be that this talisman needs to be controlled with air?" The old lady in line next to him rolled her eyes.
