(Reminder that the special chapter is not the main text, and it will not affect the main text if you don’t read it)
Bai Xiaobai quickly cleaned up a table full of delicious food.

Sea oyster with eggs, stewed teal soup, braised pork ribs, fried shredded pork with green peppers, boiled fish fillets, cold fungus, fried assorted vegetables, and cucumbers.

"Uncle, it's all right, let's have lunch." Bai Xiaobai held two sets of bowls and chopsticks in his hand and placed them neatly on the dining table.

"Nephew, your cooking skills are no worse than your father's." Bai Yuanshan praised a table of dishes.

Bai Xiaobai's home-cooked dishes are not bad, and his family can eat them without any problem, but if they really want to sell them in the store, it's not enough time.

"Nephew, how about beer?" The alcoholic uncle saw that there was no alcohol, his throat was itchy, he was a little alcohol dependent, and he couldn't do without beer for every meal.

"Wait a minute, uncle." Bai Xiaobai quickly took out a few bottles of ice-cold beer from the refrigerator, and took two small wine glasses.

Filled my uncle with a glass of beer and poured one for himself.

"Uncle, I offer you a toast, thank you for taking care of me." Bai Xiaobai picked up the cup and touched Bai Yuanshan's cup lightly.

Uncle often brings his colleagues in the antique business to take care of his business, which is quite a monthly income for Bai Xiaobai's shop.

"Brat, what can you say in a good manner? Your father is my brother, but you are my nephew." Bai Yuanshan raised his glass and drank the beer in one breath.

Bai Yuanshan drank a few mouthfuls of beer, then ate a few mouthfuls of vegetables, and said, "Nephew, do you know about Wang Xiaoyu's mysterious jade spoon?"

"I've heard of it, but Wang Xiaoyu's legend is probably false." Bai Xiaobai knew why Bai Yuanshan brought this up.

It must be because of the 'poison' of the books on the dining table.

In fact, Bai Xiaobai found this book by accident in his hometown, and he didn't know how he got it.

The cover of the book is tattered, without even the author's name, it is written in traditional characters, half classical Chinese, full of anecdotes and strange things, Bai Xiaobai will take a look at it when he has nothing to do.

Among them, Wang Xiaoyu's article is very bizarre, more fantasy than fantasy, Bai Xiaobai is a materialist and doesn't believe it.

"How do you know it's fake?" Bai Yuanshan couldn't help asking in doubt when he heard Bai Xiaobai insisted that it was fake.

Bai Xiaobai ate a piece of boiled fish and said, "Uncle, I googled it. Wang Xiaoyu was the chef of Yuan Mei's family during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. He was a culinary expert with skills. After Wang Xiaoyu died, Yuan Mei Chef, personally wrote an article "Chef Wang Xiaoyu Biography" for him."

"Then what's in the book "The Biography of Wang Xiaoyu the Chef"?" Bai Yuanshan asked back, taking a sip of beer.

"No, I compared the original text on Baidu. What is written in this book has nothing to do with "The Legend of Chef Wang Xiaoyu". What is written in this book is a legendary story."

"What legend? Let's hear it." Bai Yuanshan showed great interest.

Anyway, just eating and drinking is boring, so Bai Xiaobai simply told the legend of Wang Xiaoyu recorded in this book.

Wang Xiaoyu was born in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. He was born in a poor family.

According to folklore, Wang Xiaoyu, who was mediocre at the time, got a mysterious jade spoon by chance.

This jade palm spoon can be made bigger or smaller, the smaller one is no more than the size of a matchstick, the bigger it can be compared with an ordinary soup spoon.

Any ordinary ingredients, as long as they are cooked with a jade palm spoon, can achieve amazing delicacy.

With the assistance of the jade spoon, the aroma of the dishes cooked by Wang Xiaoyu exudes the highest state of "smelling its stinky fragrance, and everything is delicious within ten steps away".

In the end, he climbed up step by step and became the leading and famous generation of chefs in Qianlong of Qing Dynasty and even the whole Qing Dynasty.

It is said that the moment the famous chef Wang Xiaoyu died, someone saw with his own eyes that the clear sky suddenly turned cloudy and rolling.

When the thunder and lightning flashed, a huge phantom of a jade spoon flew out of Wang Xiaoyu's body and plunged straight into the sky.

All of a sudden, the golden light is shining, the nine dragons are flying, the phoenix is ​​dancing in the sky, the rays of light are shining everywhere, and a variety of delicacies appear in the clouds.

All kinds of delicacies, Yulu nectar, exotic flowers and fruits float in the clouds, making people's imagination run wild.

Just when everyone stared dumbfounded and salivated.

After the phantom of the mysterious jade holding the spoon disappeared into the clouds, it disappeared without a trace.

In an instant, the sky became cloudless again, as if nothing had happened just now.

Many people came to watch, even the government was mobilized, but nothing unusual was found on Wang Xiaoyu.This matter will be over.

"The story is over." Bai Xiaobai said as he closed the torn old book, took a bite of shredded pork with green peppers.

"Nephew, don't tell me, I was collecting antiques in the countryside today, and I received Wang Xiaoyu's mysterious jade spoon." Bai Yuanshan said in a low voice.

When Bai Xiaobai heard Bai Yuanshan's words, he stopped his chopsticks with a look of disbelief.

But my uncle is in the field of antiques, and has always had a vicious eye, but whatever he takes a fancy to is definitely not an ordinary thing.

Even if it is not a mysterious jade spoon, it must be a rare jade treasure.

"Uncle, what is it, take it out and have a look, and give me palm eyes." Bai Xiaobai said in an eye-opening tone.

After drinking a glass of cold beer with his neck raised, Bai Yuanshan took out a small plastic bag from his pocket, unfolded it carefully, and took out a very thin and sturdy jade product inside.

Bai Xiaobai was speechless when he saw it.

My uncle has only had a few glasses of wine, so I dare say he is drunk.

Pure nonsense, what kind of Wang Xiaoyuyu is holding the spoon here, and it looks like an ear digging.

Bai Yuanshan chewed a piece of braised pork ribs, and continued, "This object looks like a Qing Dynasty patina, but it seems strange. It's not just the Qing Dynasty, it seems to have several layers of patina, and it may be older."

Bai Xiaobai picked up his ear and took a closer look. The patina was indeed thick, and the jade was indeed not very transparent. It seemed that it had been buried in the soil for a long time and had not been exposed to people, so it looked very dark and cloudy.

Bai Yuanshan raised his neck and drank a glass of cold beer, and said, "Nephew, this is a gift from my uncle. Keep it well."

After Bai Yuanshan finished speaking, he took the jade ear to Bai Xiaobai.

Bai Xiaobai suddenly realized.

No wonder my uncle is interested in Wang Xiaoyu's story, no wonder he wants to tell this story himself, so it turns out that he wants to use Wang Xiaoyu's jade spoon to show his magnanimity when giving gifts.

Bai Yuanshan often brings some small antiques to Bai Xiaobai.

Every time, I have to brag about the sea, explaining the origin of the things I gave.

Bai Xiaobai has long been familiar with his bragging habit.

The last time my uncle gave him an ancient pearl, which looked like a mediocre pearl in color, but in the end my uncle just turned it into the night pearl that Cixi wanted.

This time, the ear-picking made of jade was also misrepresented as Wang Xiaoyu's mysterious jade spoon.

Bai Xiaobai's head is covered with waterfall sweat now, as if someone poured a bucket of water from head to toe.

Although this jade ear digging is not worth a lot of money, but don't want it for nothing.

Bai Xiaobai thought it would be good to use it to clean his ears.

After lunch, Bai Yuanshan didn't stay long because he had to go out tonight. He patted Bai Xiaobai's shoulder, gave some instructions, and then hurried away.

Uncle is haunted all the year round, he is doing antique business all over the world, sometimes it is hard to find him.

Bai Xiaobai was the only one left in the store, his face turned red from drinking, but his consciousness was very clear.

In a half-drunk state, Bai Xiaobai carefully tidied up the hygiene of the store.

After the sanitation is completely done, it is already sunset.

A bright red fire cloud appeared in the sky, and the shape of the cloud was very strange.

It looks like a series of delicacies, rich nectar and jade dew, very attractive.

Bai Xiaobai casually peeled off a meat dumpling and threw it to Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei wagged his tail, picked up the meat dumpling, and sat at the door of the store to gnaw it.

Bai Xiaobai also peeled a zongzi, squatted in front of his shop, and ate it with relish.

One person and one dog, facing the sunset, left a long back in the store, the picture is very warm.
