This meal subverted the Wang family's understanding of dishes. This carefully prepared meal was simply impeccable. Facts have proved that what the emperor introduced was indeed waterless.
The dishes on the table became clean after the storm. Wang Shitao wiped his mouth with a satisfied look on his face.
"Can you please invite the chef to meet?" Wang Shitao picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
This wine is also absolutely top-notch wine. When the wine was served just now, he was conquered by the aroma of the wine.
Daolin was invited to the restaurant, and the Wang family was even more shocked when they saw that the chef sitting at the table was a young man.
"Dolin has met Mr. Zhijun Lang. I wonder if this food is to your liking?" Dolin said with clasped fists in salute.
"Not bad! Very good! This is the first time in these years that I have tasted such delicious food. The chef has paid great attention to it. I dare to say that your 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon's House' will definitely make the imperial capital popular, and even the whole empire." Wang Shitao has no doubts. Hidden admiration.
"Thank you, Lord Zhijunlang, for your good words. The store will continue to work hard. I hope Zhijunlang will do more publicity for our store." Daolin bowed slightly, but his tone was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Don't worry, more people should discover this delicious food." Wang Shitao said with a smile.
After the Wang family sat for a while, they paid and left. Although the meal cost their family five thousand taels, they all felt that the money was well spent and absolutely worth it.
After seeing off the guests, everyone started to get busy again. Daolin started cleaning the pots and pans that everyone had collected. Qianxue wanted to help, but he refused with a smile.
"You have obviously worked very hard to cook a meal, why do you even have to clean the pots and pans yourself?" Qianxue asked, standing behind Daolin with some confusion.
"This is the same as your practice of playing the piano. When you practice the piano, you will play different tunes and be exposed to different tones. As a cook, I have to wash vegetables, cut vegetables, stir-fry vegetables, etc. This is also my practice." Daolin He explained with a smile while washing the dishes.
"Then it's really hard for you to do this." Qianxue said with concern.
"It's not hard work. Why is it hard work? I am a warrior, and being a chef is my profession. I do what I should do. This is not called hard work. But after I finish what I should do, I can do nothing else. What I should do is hard work." Dowling said with a smile.
"But none of us can bear to see you so tired." Qianxue lowered her head and whispered.
"Are you tired? This is not considered tiring." Dolin said as if he remembered something.
"In my hometown, children do not practice cultivation. They have to go to school from the age of six until they are in their twenties. Some even have to go to further studies. When they leave school, they are already in their thirties. During these years, In addition to completing their studies, they also have to study many extracurricular classes, and they have to write the homework left by their husbands until early in the morning every day."
"After they graduate in their twenties, they have to start looking for jobs. It's hard to find a job. They have to move from house to house. Some may not be able to do well after joining the job, so they have to leave and look for it again, day after day. After working year after year, I can’t even earn enough money to buy a square meter.”
"When they meet the person of the opposite sex they like, they don't dare to pursue it because they can't afford it. If they want to get married, they need a lot of expenses such as betrothal gifts, three gold coins, banquets, etc. What will these children who have just entered society do if they don't have money? ? His parents can only help him out, and their parents came here this way."
"Getting married for your son seems to be joyous on the surface, but secretly many parents are crying secretly. Time goes back and forth, and soon more than twenty years have passed. These children have become like his parents. The money they originally spent to buy a house is still Before repaying the debt, they have to buy a house, bride price, three golds, etc. for their children, etc. Many people are so depressed that they can’t breathe. Some of them have to work multiple jobs a day just for money, and that’s what they call tired.”
"You may not understand what I am saying, but I have experienced that kind of life. I am very afraid of that kind of life. I can face strong enemies without being timid, but I dare not face that kind of life again, so now in your eyes I It’s very tiring to do this, but for me, these tasks are really easy, very easy.” Dowling turned around and said with a smile after washing the last plate.
Qianxue suddenly felt that the young man in front of her was a bit unclear. She had never heard of the strange words he said.
"Then can you take me to see the life you mentioned?" Qianxue asked curiously.
"That's probably going to be very difficult. I can't even guarantee that I can go back." Dolin said with a wry smile.
"Is it difficult? Aren't you from a place called Yixiantian in the west?" Qianxue asked confused.
"Yes, Yixiantian is indeed my hometown. Okay, let's not talk about those useless things." Dolin laughed and said haha.
Dolin heated up the pot and heated oil. Everyone had been busy all night, and before they had eaten, Dolin simply cooked a few dishes for everyone, and everyone enjoyed the meal.
"The net profit on the first day was 3519 taels. If we keep it up, we can earn 100,000 taels a month. Are we about to take off?" At the dinner table, Mo Ran said excitedly after tallying up today's expenses and income.
Ever since Dowling asked him to manage money, he can be said to be diligent and remember every expenditure and income clearly.
"Not necessarily, I order such expensive dishes every day, but even if it is a cheap dish, I still have a thousand taels for this night." Dolin said with a smile.
Everyone raised their glasses in tacit agreement.
"Daolin, thank you for your hard work. Let's toast you with this glass of wine."
Dorian grinned, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with everyone, then raised his head and drank it all.
It was late at night, and Dolin did not go back to his room to sleep. He sat on the steps at the door of the living room, feeling the cold wind blowing in the middle of the night, and his thoughts returned to Wuji Peak again.
"Dad, my son opened a restaurant in the imperial capital. He made more than three thousand taels on the first day, which is more than your income in that year. Are you envious?" Dolin murmured, looking at the moon in the sky above his head.
With his emotions in place, Dolin turned around and walked into the study. After lighting the oil lamp, he picked up a pen and started writing a letter home. This was his first time writing a letter home. He wrote down everything that had happened since he came to the imperial capital during this period.
Meet the emperor - cook for the emperor - take the academy test - meet Taishi Xingwei - move the Shijue Academy to his ancestral home - worship Taishi Xingwei as his teacher. He did not write about his grudges with Taoism because he He felt that this matter had nothing to do with his father, and he didn't want to involve his father anymore.
After packing up the written letters from home, Daolin plans to send them to the inn tomorrow. I believe it won’t be long before Dao Wuji, who is far away in Wuji Peak, will receive his letters from home. His son has traveled thousands of miles and his father is worried. After reading his letters from home, his father He will definitely be very happy, after all, his son has established a foothold in the imperial capital.
