A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot

  Chapter 29 Do you want to be on TV?

  Hearing the middle-aged woman's words, both Cai Yi and Geng Wanhua looked at the knife box on Li Yi's car in unison.

"Huh?"

  Geng Wanhua snorted: "I haven't noticed yet, is it from huanghuali?"

  The middle-aged woman nodded: "It's from Huanghuali."

  Her name is Guan Xue, and she is also a research librarian of Gu Bo. She focuses on Ming and Qing court medicine, ancient clocks and watches, medicine, food and dietary supplements, etc.

  That's why Cai Yi invited her to appraise the Wanshou Wujiang Bowl together.

  Guan Xue looked at the knife box and sighed: "You all focus on that set of bowls, but you don't know that this set of knives is the real treasure!"

"Why?"

  Cai Yi was puzzled: "The Wanshou Wujiang Bowl is for the imperial use after all. Even if this set of knives were bestowed by the imperial court, they are still just objects. The cultural attribute is a bit short?"

  Guan Xue looked serious: "This set of Wanshou Wujiang Bowl is indeed the same craftsmanship as the one in the museum, and it is not cheap.

  But the set in the courtyard has been handed down from generation to generation. It has not left the capital for hundreds of years, so it is undisputedly authentic.

  So, if it is not an authentic product for the real imperial use, then the value of this set of bowls is about the same as the cloisonne treasures of other palace manufacturing offices in the courtyard.

  But this set of knives is different. Kitchen knives are daily necessities, and there are few preserved cultural relics. There is no habit of burial with kitchen knives in ancient tombs. They are usually knives and chopsticks.

   A complete set of kitchen knives bestowed by the emperor like this is even rarer, and there is no record in history books.

  As far as I know, there don’t seem to be many kitchen knives handed down from ancient times in China, let alone a complete set.

   This set of kitchen knives is probably the first complete set of ancient Chinese kitchen knives to appear in China, and it is also a gift from the emperor, which is even more precious. "

Having said that, she paused for a moment, and her tone became more serious: "I won't talk about whether or not this set of bowls will be taken home, but this set of knives must be taken home and kept properly. This is a rarity that has never appeared before. thing.

  The kitchen knife wears a lot, and it is really not easy to pass it down from ancient times to the present.

  Ordinary household knives usually have to be replaced after three to five years of use. If this set of kitchen knives is used by this young man for a few more years, it is estimated that they will be completely scrapped. That would be a waste of things. "

After listening to her explanation, Cai Yi nodded in agreement: "This kid really doesn't feel sorry for using good things. He uses the Wanshou Wujiang Bowl as an ordinary rice bowl, and he uses this set of knives as ordinary kitchen knives. Too bad It's a waste, I really can't let him do this nonsense."

  Geng Wanhua said helplessly: "But he killed him in one bite, and he won't sell it, what should we do?"

   "It's all about money."

  Guan Xue smiled slightly: "You guys go ahead and talk, but the quota applied for in the courtyard is not enough, so I will tell my dad."

  Hearing her words, Cai Yi and Geng Wanhua were relieved a lot.

  Guan Xue’s family background is not simple. She is from a wealthy family of Huizhou merchants.

  Her father was a soldier, fought in wars, and was a university teacher, teaching history.

  Because he likes history, her father is very interested in traditional culture and art, and also collects.

  Because she has a share in the family business, her father is not short of money. Since she was a child, spending money is entirely based on her mood, without counting.

  Ever since she fell in love with collecting, her father often participated in foreign auctions, bidding for cultural relics lost abroad.

  At first he collected it himself, and then he began to donate.

   There are several collections in the Palace Museum, which were donated by him.

  Because of his hobbies, Guan Xue has also been fascinated by him since he was a child. Later, he learned history and then worked in the Palace Museum.

  Geng Wanhua breathed a sigh of relief: "With the help of Lao Guan, we must take these two sets of treasures."

  So, they started to discuss, planning to make a plan and have a good talk with Li Yi.

   On the other hand, after tasting the deliciousness of Li Yi's [The Best Beef Noodles in the World], Yang Shaoyue and Zhao Jinmai have already made a decision to take this beef noodles back to participate in the evaluation as the delicacy they found.

  But when Yang Shaoyue asked Li Yi to pack a copy and take it home, Li Yi refused.

   "Sorry, my noodles can't be packed."

"why?"

  Yang Shao was more puzzled.

  Li Yi explained: "Because the heat of this bowl of noodles is very important. You have to eat freshly out of the pan to have the most chewy texture of the noodles. If you pack them and take them home, the noodles will lose their bones and won't taste good."

   "Exactly."

  Mr. Huang agrees: "I just ate half of this bowl of noodles. After a delay, I feel that the noodles are not as chewy as when I just ate them."

   As he spoke, he glanced at Geng Wanhua not far away.

   It was Geng Wanhua who snatched his bowl and took it to watch, causing his face to collapse.

  Yang Shaoyue heard the words, and couldn't help being a little embarrassed: "That won't work, the texture of this noodle is too amazing. If it doesn't have that chewy texture, the experience of eating it will definitely be compromised."

  Zhao Jinmai glanced at the time, pulled her sleeves, and reminded: "Sister Shaoyue, it's almost time."

  Yang Shaoyue glanced at the time, then at Li Yi, and suddenly thought of an idea.

   "Eh? Boss, do you want to be on TV?"

She suggested: "You can go back with us, and make noodles for them on the spot in front of the camera, so that the taste of the noodles will not be affected. You can also go on TV and let more people see your noodles." ,what do you think?"

  Li Yi was slightly taken aback when he heard the words.

  The audience in the live broadcast room was already excited.

   "What? The anchor is going to "Challenge the Limits"?"

   "Okay! "Challenge the Limit" is my favorite variety show, especially the first few seasons, it's amazing!"

   "You can have this! The anchor can be on a show and increase his popularity, which is also good for the anchor."

   "Haha! The anchor must participate! I want to see if Xiao Ming can resist the temptation in front of this bowl."

   "Just make a bowl of noodles? That's probably not enough for Xiao Yueyue to eat alone."

  Li Yi didn't watch the barrage in the live broadcast room, but he had already made a decision.

   "Yes, but you have to pay first."

  He doesn't reject being on TV, otherwise he wouldn't be broadcasting live.

   It’s nothing more than making bowls of noodles in another place, anyway, it’s the same to make money.

  Hearing that he agreed, Yang Shaoyue jumped up happily: "Great! Then let's go quickly! The task time is over soon, and it will be too late!"

   As she spoke, she urged Li Yi to pack his things and go to the recording site of the show together.

  Mr. Huang and the three of them had almost finished eating. Seeing that Li Yi was about to leave, they sent all the tableware back.

  The three of Cai Yi on the side were discussing, but when they turned their faces, they saw that Li Yi was going to close the stall and leave, so he hurried forward and asked, "Young man, are you going to close the stall?"

   Before Li Yi could answer, Yang Shaoyue explained for him: "We are going to record a program."

  Hearing this, Geng Wanhua became anxious immediately, and hurriedly said: "Young man, let's talk about your bowl and knife first!"

   "Grandpa, can we talk later? We're running late, sorry!"

  Yang Shaoyue clasped his hands together and begged them, while Zhao Jinmai had already helped Li Yi pack up the snack cart, pushed it for him, and headed to the alley.

  The fans watching around saw this, and they also held up their mobile phones one after another, and followed on both sides.

   "Huh? This..."

  Cai Yi and the three looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

   "Go, go and have a look."

  Guan Xue was the first to speak: "We must not return empty-handed today."

   As she spoke, she immediately followed.

   Seeing this, Cai Yi and Geng Wanhua also followed closely behind, and followed together.

  Watching them leave, Mr. Huang stood on the spot holding Guoguo's hand, and suddenly patted his head: "Oh! I forgot to ask him what kind of soup he mentioned last time."
