Tang Xuemei, the proprietress of Guojinge, was once a snow plum blossom enlightened by Yan Chiyu a thousand years ago.
Tang Xuemei still remembers the first time she met the young man, who wore a snow-white fox fur cloak, had a slender figure, and had beautiful eyebrows and eyes, like a fairy in the clouds.
As for how she transformed into human form, according to Da Lin, it was because Lord Yan spat a mouthful of blood onto the plum tree.
The blood contained spiritual energy, capable of instantly transforming unintelligent creatures into humans. But to their utter surprise, the plum blossom, after transforming, turned into a babbling infant.
Lord Yan had no interest in raising children, so he left them to his attendant Lin Youxi.
Lin Youxi was originally a bluebird living in Pingqiu. Bluebirds are originally male and female, and can choose their own sex when they reach adulthood.
At that time, Yan Chiyu happened to pass by Pingqiu. For a while, he did not wear his hair and hat. Lin Youxi mistook his back view for a woman. She was amazed by the beauty of Lord Yan's profile. The bluebird fell in love with him and immediately transformed into a man.
She found it funny when she thought about what happened later. Mistaking the gender was really something!
When Yan Chiyu went to another place, Qingniao, who used the alias Lin Youxi, packed her bags and secretly followed him. Then, by a twist of fate, she became his servant.
However, this master was extremely aloof and rarely spoke. He often liked to lie in the trees, gazing at the sky and stars, and occasionally muttering things that they couldn't understand.
It's probably some kind of foreign language.
Lin Youxi felt bored and wanted to leave several times, but when he saw the boy's calm and indifferent gaze, he didn't want to leave anymore.
He mistakenly thought the woman was like this... Ha, he decided to find a way to warm her heart.
Later, Baby Mei joined them, and the trio traveled around the world.
They only knew that Yan Chiyu was human, but they never understood why human blood could contain spiritual energy, as if it contained the essence of heaven and earth. Moreover, this young man was capable of flying on a sword, refining medicine, practicing medicine, and was knowledgeable in astronomy and geography.
They traveled together for seven years, and then Yan Chiyu disappeared.
Tang Xuemei thought that human lifespan is ultimately short, and Lord Yan... was unwilling to die in front of them, so he found a place to hide himself and quietly, quietly wait for death.
The trio became a duo. Tang Xuemei and Lin Youxi discussed finding work. They had a very long lifespan, and their money would eventually run out. They had already traveled half the world, and it was time to find a place to settle down.
So, during their discussion, they remembered Yan Chiyu, that guy who was extremely particular about food. The boy never hesitated to criticize Lin Youxi's terrible cooking skills, but in the end, he took it upon himself to cook.
Even now, just thinking about that meal makes my mouth water.
After that, the decision was finalized, and Guojinge, a top-tier restaurant that has stood in Beijing for a century, was born.
Yan Chiyu didn't remember much of what Tang Xuemei said, and at first he was only half-convinced. But the more he listened, the more he felt that this was indeed his way of doing things, and whether he remembered it or not was no longer important. What mattered was that she was still alive.

Yan Chiyu stepped onto the white jade steps, his eyes deep and his thoughts slightly heavy.
Would it be happy to not remember the encounter with the other person?
"Master." Inside the private room was Wenyao, who was already waiting. He was quite handsome in his human form, with an exquisite badge bearing the number 2 hanging from his waist.
"Wenyao".
Yan Chiyu sat down opposite him. "How's your investigation into the other mythical beasts from the mountains and seas going?"
"I've found some clues, but I'm not entirely sure. I still need Master to go and investigate personally." These days he's been wandering around other cities—no, I mean investigating the whereabouts of other mythical beasts from the mountains and seas—alone and acutely aware of his loneliness.
Yan Chiyu nodded thoughtfully.
Wen Yao hesitated several times, looking expectant.
The boy slightly raised his long eyelashes. "What's wrong?"
