The waiter was pleased when he saw the guests, offering a smile and heading to Manager Wu, saying, "Manager, guests finally satisfied with this dish!"
Manager Wu let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
The status of these two guest must be top-notch, just by observing their attire.
Such a customer, a small restaurant like theirs couldn't afford to offend.
"Hey, Manager, the guests still have to continue serving dishes, will bring back two more plates!"
"Alas, good!" Manager Wu said gratefully: "Mrs Li, Thank you so much. If it weren't for your food, I really don't know how to greet those two guests today."
Li Yao looked in the direction of Xue Qing and saw that the master and servant were enjoying their meal.
Li Yao and Wang Da Zhaung bid farewell to Manager Wu and left.
"It's amazing! Truly amazing! My son has tried countless delicacies, but none have been as tasty as today!" Xue Qing couldn't help but sigh in contentment after savoring a piece of braised pork belly.
Two plates of pork belly, now completely filled!
Feng Yuan, seated across from him, nodded and said, "It's fantastic, but unfortunately, I won't be able to eat it when I get back to the capital!"
"How about we invite him back? That way, you can eat it when you want"
Xue Qing's expression moved slightly, feeling that Feng Yuan's words were very reasonable.
A chef who can make such a delicious meal has to be dug into the house no matter what.
Xue Qing's beautiful eyes moved, and Feng Yuan had already stood up to look for the shopkeeper.
Xue Qing nodded with satisfaction, Feng Yuan's head was getting brighter and brighter.
In no time, Feng Yuan returned with a hint of disappointment.
"What?" Xue Qing raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Master, it wasn't made by the chef here!"
"Oh?" Xue Qing's curiosity was piqued.
"I just inquired, the Manager mentioned it was a woman who prepared the dishes, and now she's gone!"
"Is that so..." Xue Qing felt a pang of regret. But the woman in the kitchen? How could she make up such incredible food?
"Master, are we still looking for someone?" Feng Yuan asked tentatively.
With his understanding of master, it is estimated that if he can't eat such delicious food in the future, he will definitely be downcast and complain to him every day.
Previously, a bowl of good pasta made in the former residence, the master especially prefers noodles with miscellaneous sauce made by a cook.
After the cook passed away, the master didn't know how many times had chanted in his ear that he wanted to eat another bowl of miscellaneous sauce noodles.
"Then you can find out who they are and where they live?"
"The Manager mentioned her family sells pork offal on the west side of the street! So, should we investigate?"
Xue Qing stood up and said "Let's investigate!"
Xue Qing placed the jade fan aside, appearing as a charming young man with a mischievous grin. Feng Yuan followed, putting on a cold face, keeping strangers away.
....
Upon reaching the braised food stand, Zhou Shi and San'er began to tidy up, with Da Zhaung joining them.
"Was the meal for the elderly master from the academy delivered?" Li Yao inquired.
"Yes, it was," San'er replied. "Following Mother's instructions, I brought an additional two pieces of braised pork belly."
As long as the meal was delivered, that was satisfactory.
Li Yao didn't know the identity of the elderly man, but honesty in business dealings was paramount. "I will buy materials for tomorrow."
In Baichuan Market, there are a total of three pork stalls, all of which are affiliated with her family.
Li Yao brought 50 pounds of pork offal, 10 pounds of pork belly, and 5 pounds of lean meat.
In system warehouse 12 pounds of pork belly was harvested, and she decided to take out 5 pounds from the system.
She also maintained a separate record for raw materials. From the food she took from space, a total of 1,500 wen was conserved.
After acquiring the pork, she purchased a few spices, spending around 950 wen.
Upon returning with the supplies, she returned to the stall and went home.
Noticing this early, she made her way into the mountains.
It took nearly an hour for Li Yao to locate a patch of wild orchids, one of which seemed particularly remarkable.
She was uncertain of the orchid's name, but she was convinced of its value.
Li Yao approached the special orchid, bent, and carefully plucked it.
This orchid appeared extraordinary, but what was its name?
She sent the special orchid into space, facing the Ganoderma Lucidum. The long leaves were hanging down, dangling beautifully.
Li Yao picked two more orchids and continued to hunt prey.
Li Yao hunted two roosters and, as it was getting late, headed home.
On her way home, Li Yao suddenly spotted some rabbits on the hill. Curious, she took a closer look and was amazed by the sheer number of them!
It felt like she had stumbled into a rabbit kingdom!
She managed to catch three wild rabbits. The ones munching on grass nearby quickly darted into their burrows.
Li Yao made a mental note of the spot and carried rabbits.
In addition to the two roosters and rabbits, she also gathered a handful of wild onions. To her surprise, she discovered a patch of yams weighing about 50 catties and dug up 5 kilos for herself.
Back in the Great Ling dynasty, yams were still unknown, and people mainly relied on flour or rice for their meals.
Li Yao knew that the food options in this time were pretty limited. It was a win if everyone could fill their bellies by the end of the day, so cooking methods rarely changed.
Yams are delicious and can last for two months if stored in the yard's dungeon.
She decided to return the next day with Da Zhaung, He Xiaoyu, and Wang San'er to gather more.
When she got home, her family jumped into action, busy preparing the yams, rabbits, and roosters.
Li Yao planted the orchids in a flower pot and kept them in the back yard of the house.
Earlier, she had placed the oil presser out there too, but later on, she constructed a small wooden room next to the house, moved the presser inside, and planted cabbage seeds in the yard.
As of now, her family has managed to refine 100 catties of peanut oil and 20 catties of sesame oil, which should last them until the new year.
Thanks to her stewed dishes, a lot of people have learned about meat oil, and it's gained quite a bit of popularity.
She shared how to refine meat oil but kept the details about peanut and sesame oil to herself, not wanting her family to become a target.
