When it comes to opening a restaurant, Wang Dong is particularly enthusiastic.
"Shixun, how do you solve the chef problem when opening a restaurant?"
"I plan to have Gao Yanei spend a lot of money to find a chef and some recipes from later generations and have him cook them."
Wang Dong: <{\u003d．．．．（嘎~嘎~嘎~）
"Old Wang, please stop laughing like that. It sounds like a weasel pulling a chicken. It's so unpleasant."
"I laugh at you for being so stupid and dull."
"Why am I stupid? Why am I dull? Old Wang, tell me clearly, or I will never forgive you."
Wang Dong said, "I've told you more than once to carefully read the manuals for the Wisdom System and Hei Wuchang, but you just didn't take them seriously."
"I'm too busy... Wait a minute, why are you talking about this?"
"Being busy is not an excuse. Let me tell you, Heibai Wuchang has a built-in cooking module, so he is a super chef in himself."
"Ah!" Zhang Shixun was surprised and delighted. "The Black and White Impermanence can cook? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"If I tell you that I just discovered this recently, would you believe me?"
"I don't believe it!"
"Here's what happened. A few days ago, I asked Bai Wuchang to butcher a pig. He was very skilled at both shaving and deboning, which piqued my curiosity. I quickly took out the manual and looked through it. What happened next?"
"you say."
"I unexpectedly discovered a cooking module among Bai Wuchang's additional functions. As long as he checks the cooking option in the settings, he will become a great chef. Haha! Surprising, isn't it?"
Zhang Shixun was overjoyed: "Surprise! What a surprise!"
Wang Dong sighed, "When we first arrived, we had two chefs, but we didn't use them. We actually spent the whole day in the kitchen cooking. We were so stupid."
"hehe!"
In the next few days, Zhang Shixun was busy with hotel affairs.
Gao Yanei called in a group of soldiers to clean the restaurant thoroughly, and also called in a painter to repaint the porch and windows.
Ten days later, everything was ready and we were just waiting to open.
…
In the palace, Yeonbokgung Palace.
Emperor Zhao Ji recently had another prince and was in a good mood.
"Shoudao, what has Zhang Shixun been doing recently?"
Liang Shicheng said, "He and Gao Yanei have been busy renovating the restaurant recently."
"Restaurant?" Zhao Ji was very surprised. "He wants to open a restaurant?"
"Yes, in partnership with Gao Yanei, right on the Imperial Street, not far from Zhouqiao."
"Master Zhang actually wants to open a restaurant. Interesting! Really interesting." Zhao Ji stroked his beard and smiled happily.
As long as Zhang Shixun didn't focus on military affairs, Zhao Ji was happy.
"It is said that the name of the restaurant has been chosen."
"Oh! What's the name of his restaurant?"
“Heaven on Earth.”
"What?" Zhao Ji's hands trembled, and he pulled out a few strands of his beard under his chin.
"Haha!" Liang Shicheng glanced at the emperor secretly, "He is still very arrogant. He actually gave it such a name."
"Shoudao, don't underestimate him. Have you forgotten the Lantern Festival performance? He was able to bring the fairyland down here, so what else can't he do?"
Zhao Ji was very curious about what tricks Zhang Shixun would play this time.
However, one thing is certain, his restaurant must be unique and refreshing.
Prince Zhao Kai of Yun walked in from outside, holding a big red wedding invitation in his hand.
Zhao Ji asked curiously, "My dear, what are you holding in your hand?"
"Your Majesty, this is an invitation from Zhang Shixun." Zhao Kai said as he handed it to the emperor.
Zhao Ji took it, opened it and saw six eye-catching big characters written on it: Your Majesty is respectfully invited to visit.
The opening date is written below: a certain year, month and day.
"Haha! Interesting!"
Prince Yun said, "Zhang Shixun is being very mysterious. I went to his restaurant this morning to take a look."
"Oh! How's it going?"
"Zhang Shixun is truly a master. The hall on the first floor is decorated magnificently and uniquely."
"Tell me more about it. How did you come up with such an original idea?"
"The floor is paved with tiles, which are as smooth as a mirror but not slippery, and very comfortable to walk on."
"He actually used tiles to pave the floor?"
"Yes! It is said that these tiles were specially made when his cousin built a house. There are still quite a few left, and they were all brought back by Zhang Shixun."
"So, his cousin's house is all paved with tiles?"
"Yes."
Zhao Ji looked down at his feet and sighed, "Compared to his two brothers, my palace..."
Liang Shicheng lost no time in saying, "They are violating the rules."
Zhao Ji waved his hand. "This isn't against the rules. As long as they have money, even if they pave the floor with gold bricks, it's not against the rules... Third brother, go on."
Zhao Kai said, "The round table in his house is very unique. The top is actually double-layered. I've never seen that before."
"Ah! Double-decker?"
Zhao Kai nodded. "The upper layer is slightly smaller, and the most peculiar thing is that it can rotate."
"Can it rotate?" Zhao Ji blinked.
"Father, this is Zhang Shixun's genius. Just imagine, when a table full of dishes is laid out..."
"Ha! I see. If I can't reach the food across from me, I can just turn the table and move the food I want to this side... Wonderful! Indescribable."
Prince Yun continued, "Seeing the first floor was so nice, I wanted to go upstairs to take a look, but Zhang Shixun stopped me. He said that no one could go upstairs before the restaurant opened. When I asked him why, he replied that it was a secret."
After hearing what Prince Yun said, Zhao Ji's curiosity was completely aroused.
"Zhang Shixun has so many tricks up his sleeve. I also want to know what secrets are hidden on the second floor."
Prince Yun said, "Since his restaurant is called Paradise on Earth, I suspect there must be something extraordinary upstairs."
Zhao Ji looked at the invitation again. The date on it was the day after tomorrow.
He still had to wait two days, which made him feel itchy.
"Father, I have been sent to the palace by Zhang Shixun to deliver his invitation and to ask for a few words on his behalf."
"What word do you want?"
"Zhang Shixun's plaque is still empty. He said that my father's calligraphy is unprecedented and unmatched. If I could obtain my father's calligraphy, it would be worthy of the name of Paradise on Earth."
Zhao Ji was very happy to hear Zhang Shixun's evaluation of his calligraphy.
"Keep the Dao, and put down your writing."
Liang Shicheng spread out the rice paper and prepared the brush and ink.
Zhao Ji picked up the brush and finished it in one stroke.
"Third brother, give it to Zhang Shixun."
When Zhao Kai saw the four characters, he couldn't help but compliment them: "Father's calligraphy is graceful and powerful, and it shines through the paper."
Liang Shicheng said from the side: "Your Majesty, have you considered whether writing a plaque for a restaurant would cause controversy?"
After hearing this, Zhao Ji began to hesitate.
This is not an ordinary inscription, but one to be engraved on a plaque and hung on the lintel of the restaurant.
It was indeed beneath the royal dignity for the emperor to write a plaque for a restaurant.
Seeing his father's hesitation, Zhao Kai smiled and said, "Zhang Shixun is no ordinary person. He was appointed Imperial Preceptor by the Emperor himself. Those censors shouldn't say anything if I write an inscription for him."
